Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 208 - 104 Mathematics is Not That Simple... But It’s Not Hard Either!_7

Tian Yanzhen smiled and said, "Alright, this is indeed a proper matter, I’ll suggest it to the Mathematics Society. But let me make it clear, I’m just making a suggestion. As for whether it will work out, I can’t guarantee it for you, if the location for special training is already fixed, there’s nothing I can do."

"It’s already great that you can suggest it for me, if it doesn’t work out, then so be it. By the way, since you always make suggestions to the Mathematics Society, why not also suggest that the special training in late March be held in Star City at one of the schools.

It’s not really my idea, it’s mainly because I promised Principal Zhang that after the second phase of training is over, I would go back to my alma mater to give a motivational speech to the graduating seniors. My alma mater has been really good to me, I can’t just break my promise... sigh."

Using the alma mater sentiment as a reason is really too reasonable, so reasonable that Tian Yanzhen doesn’t even know how to refuse.

After all, having a student with a sense of gratitude is definitely a great thing.

So, Tian Yanzhen heeded the suggestion without hesitation: "Alright, but as I said, I can’t promise you anything right now. After all, it depends on whether any schools in Star City apply to host this event. The Mathematics Society and local schools are not in a subordinate relationship."

"Thank you, Director Tian."

"Are you getting used to your life here? Is there anything else you need?" Tian Yanzhen asked again.

"Nothing else really, I’m actually quite used to it, and I find the food in the canteen quite to my taste... Oh, right, Mr. Xue asked me to mention that I might need a printer in the future. But I feel it’s not really necessary at the moment?" Qiao Yu thought of Xue Song’s instruction and mentioned it casually.

Tian Yanzhen responded without hesitation, "It is necessary. Professor Xue is quite a meticulous person. You can directly talk to your Senior Brother Chen about this, just tell him I said it, and have him get you one, and help set it up and configure it for you."

"Huh? It’s a bit troublesome to bother Senior Brother, isn’t it?"

"It’s no trouble, we’re all brothers here, what’s the fuss? Forget it, I’ll tell him myself later."

"Oh, I don’t have anything else then."

"Alright, then go have your meal. By the way, start reading those books on the reading list as soon as possible, I will be spot-checking weekly."

"Don’t worry, Director Tian. I know you’re doing this for my benefit, so you don’t need to take the trouble to find time to spot-check me during your busy schedule. I guarantee that before 10 a.m. every Monday, I will report my weekly reading progress and insights to you on WeChat. You’re welcome to criticize me if I forget!"

Look at him, a student with such top-notch talent who is still humble and obedient, which mentor wouldn’t be impressed?

Honestly, Tian Yanzhen had to control his expression greatly to avoid grinning too broadly. frёeωebɳovel.com

Even the impression of Xue Song, who introduced Qiao Yu to him, improved in Tian Yanzhen’s mind.

If he had followed his original plan and waited step by step until the IMO results came out before going through interviews, it’s possible he might have been snatched away by the other side, then who could he reason with?

"It’s enough that you have this mindset."

"Then I’ll go eat now, Director Tian."

"Go ahead, eat more, you need the nutrients for learning! If you run out of living expenses, just let me know."

"Sure thing, Director Tian! Rest assured, I never hold back when it comes to my mentor."

Yes, Qiao Yu said these words sincerely, meaning exactly what he said.

Tian Yanzhen watched as the spirited Qiao Yu turned and left, and smiled.

Although Zhang Shuwen’s private email had already been given to him, he wasn’t in a hurry to give it to Qiao Yu today, since the kid hasn’t shown a special interest in Number Theory yet, he’ll wait until Qiao Yu finds that point of interest.
