Chapter 200: Chapter 103: The Proud Youngster, Brandishing His Power with Vigor_5
Zhang Shuwen nodded.
"Do you believe it?"
Zhang Shuwen shook his head and then said, "But he said if you don’t believe it, you can see it for yourself. At three in the afternoon, that kid is hosting a seminar on this issue."
Silent...
"Let’s go and see. If it’s fake, just expose him, no need to spare his face."
Zhang Shuwen: "..."
...
At half-past two in the afternoon, Xue Song had already brought Qiao Yu to the P2 conference room in Building 1.
Although usually, the main speaker should arrive last, Xue Song thought that Qiao Yu was already quite full of himself. If he indulged him too much, he might lose sight of himself.
Especially considering Qiao Yu is only fifteen, he should develop humble habits.
The two had been in the conference room for less than five minutes when Chen Zhuoyang came in.
"Senior Brother Chen." This time Qiao Yu took the initiative to greet him.
Since the small conference room was empty, unlike in the morning when he arrived and the room was full of unfamiliar people, Qiao Yu felt more at ease and could show his politeness in this situation.
Chen Zhuoyang sneered, not really wanting to bother with Qiao Yu.
Especially after learning that this discussion session’s protagonist was this little junior brother, he was a bit puzzled.
He never got this kind of treatment.
The most annoying thing was that this talkative kid was holding a seminar, and he had to be busy running around.
Chen Zhuoyang asked, "Hmm, do you need a PPT later?"
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Chen, but no, I didn’t have time to make one, and I don’t know how to make one anyway. Later, I’ll just write on the blackboard. Huh? There’s no blackboard, Senior Brother Chen, can you get me a blackboard? Just put it there..."
Qiao Yu enthusiastically pointed at the empty space at the front.
Chen Zhuoyang rolled his eyes; he might as well make a PPT.
"Alright, I know where to put it. I’ll call staff to bring one over later, 90X120 will do, right?"
"That’s fine, thank you, Senior Brother Chen. Oh, and don’t forget I need a pen too."
Chen Zhuoyang sneered and turned around to leave.
"Ah, Senior Brother Chen is great at everything except being too serious; you never see him smile all day." Qiao Yu commented.
Xue Song remained silent beside him, understanding Chen Zhuoyang’s feelings.
If he were Qiao Yu’s senior brother, he might also find it annoying to have such a little junior brother.
Soon, a few more professors entered the conference room, and Chen Zhuoyang had returned, taking up the responsibility of a senior brother by helping to introduce Qiao Yu actively: "Qiao Yu, this is Professor Zhou Yang from the research center, mainly focusing on low-dimensional topology and geometric group theory..."
"Hello, Professor Zhou."
"You must be Qiao Yu. Mr. Tian holds you in high regard, keep up the good work."
"Thank you for your encouragement, Professor Zhou."
"This is Professor Cai Wen Yuan, specializing in algebraic geometry and Lie groups..."
"Hello, Professor Cai..."
"Professor Chu Wehua, with significant achievements in algebraic topology..."
With Chen Zhuoyang’s introductions, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became familiar. To be honest, the professors were quite unfamiliar with Qiao Yu, but they attended the seminar out of respect for Tian Yanzhen.
As for Qiao Yu, his thoughts were simpler. Strangers didn’t matter; everyone would know him later.
Moreover, with Senior Brother Chen as a tool by his side, Qiao Yu quickly got acquainted with all the professors attending the seminar.
The movable blackboard was also brought into the conference room by staff during their interactions.
Soon, three minutes before the seminar began, Tian Yanzhen, Robert, and another person Qiao Yu hadn’t met yet entered the conference room together.
Qiao Yu, who had returned to his seat, clearly felt the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly become a bit tense...
It wasn’t that Qiao Yu was being sensitive; it was primarily because everyone’s behavior was evident.
They were quietly discussing just now, and when the three people walked in, everyone suddenly stopped talking.
Could it be that because there were foreign guests, everyone suddenly decided to be so disciplined?
Qiao Yu turned to express his thoughts to Xue Song but suddenly noticed Old Xue staring at the three newcomers with a strange expression.
So he quietly asked, "Mr. Xue, what’s up with you?"
Xue Song turned back, expressionless, and softly said, "Explain well later; don’t waste the platform Director Tian has set up for you!"
Qiao Yu understood the implication and immediately turned his gaze to the unfamiliar person.
For him, it was simple reasoning.
Director Tian had already made it clear he would invite Professor Robert to this seminar, so this was expected. Old Xue’s emphasis on not wasting the platform could only mean this stranger was someone significant.
However, he seemed like a skinny, serious old man; besides having some presence, nothing seemed particularly impressive...
Fortunately, Qiao Yu didn’t have time to overthink as his advisor once again took on the host role.
"Thank you all for attending today’s seminar, especially Professor Robert and Professor Zhang Shuwen for taking time out of their busy schedules to personally guide my student Qiao Yu on some of his mathematical insights.
Today’s seminar will mainly discuss the problem of using tools such as complete spaces, modular forms theory, and p-adic geometry to study the upper bound on the number of rational points on algebraic curve X. Alright, Qiao Yu, you can start talking."
After saying that, Director Tian sat back in his seat, and Qiao Yu stood up without any stage fright.
"Thank you, teachers, for attending this seminar. Ah, regarding some of my immature ideas, they’ve been printed out; that’s the stack of papers on everyone’s desk that looks like drafts."
