Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 211 - 105 Grandmaster, I will definitely make our Sect thrive!_3

Chapter 211: Chapter 105 Grandmaster, I will definitely make our Sect thrive!_3

Zhang Tiejun shook his head and replied, "I don’t know."

He was puzzled. When given a number, they should have told him who it was, at least a surname. But neither did the other side know, just that it was a teacher from Huaqing, which was bizarre.

However, the call connected quickly. Lan Jie immediately introduced himself, "Hello, I’m Lan Jie, Qiao Yu’s mathematics teacher..."

"Hello, Teacher Lan, I’m Yuan Zhengxin."

The other side introduced himself, leaving Lan Jie and Zhang Tiejun dumbfounded.

In the education community, some liked this person, and some didn’t, but certainly no one didn’t know about this big shot.

After all, as Huaxia’s first Fields Medal winner in history, he carried quite the prestige, especially for a mathematics teacher like Lan Jie, he was simply a supreme existence.

To put it this way, back when Lan Jie was a graduate student at Shuangdan University, his advisor could only be considered a grand-disciple in front of him...

"Hello, Elder Yuan, hello!"

"No need for formalities, I’m sorry to trouble you this time. I’m mainly here to understand some of Qiao Yu’s circumstances in more detail if possible."

"Qiao Yu, ah, I discovered his mathematical talent by coincidence. At the time, I noticed two students in my Olympiad class were progressing quickly in competitions, so I kept them after class to encourage them and learned they were mostly tutored by a junior high school student in my school, which was Qiao Yu. Then..."

Lan Jie then elaborated on how he discovered Qiao Yu, adding some artistic embellishments and omitted the parts about mingling in internet cafes, providing a general introduction.

The focus was really on him participating in the Little Alibaba Mathematics Competition and solving the Diophantine equation on a forum.

"Oh, does that mean he also completed a paper on his own?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it was published in the Journal of Number Theory, I believe it was the day before yesterday, he sent it to me on WeChat."

"Oh, very impressive. By the way, I noticed his other scores in the entrance exam were excellent, but biology and geography were only 9 points each. Do you know what happened there?"

The tone from the other side was gentle, but Lan Jie just felt a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Elder Yuan, the situation is like this. You may not know, but Qiao Yu’s family environment is somewhat special. He grew up in a single-parent family, being a teenager and in a rebellious phase; he had some conflicts with his mother, so he deliberately scored those marks in these two subjects in the eighth-grade entrance exam.

Later, our school’s Principal Zhang learned of Qiao Yu’s situation, personally visited the family, and worked with Qiao Yu’s homeroom teacher then, tirelessly encouraging him. As a result, when the time came to prepare for the high school entrance exam in the second half of the ninth grade, Qiao Yu’s scores improved significantly."

Honestly, before interacting with Qiao Yu, Lan Jie probably couldn’t have come up with such an explanation in such a short time. Of course, you can’t say he lied since Zhang Tiejun did indeed make visits and worked a lot with Qiao Yu.

You could only say some people really influence those around them too much.

"So, a single-parent family..."

After hearing this, Lan Jie looked at Zhang Tiejun and, under the encouraging gaze from the principal, closed his eyes and said, "Well, these years have been pretty tough on Qiao Yu. Without a father, grandparents passed away too, and his mother’s health isn’t good, unable to work, so he’s had to find ways to support the family.

For this reason, the school also brainstormed many ways for Qiao Yu, such as preparing various scholarships and waiving tuition and fees. And Qiao Yu is quite determined, by self-studying; he not only won the first prize in the Little Alibaba Competition and first place in CMO but also published a paper. A very inspiring child!"

"All right, thank you very much, Teacher Lan, I have one more small request, if you’d be willing to help." freewebnøvel.com

"Elder Yuan, you’re too polite, just say it directly, if it can be done, I will certainly do it."

"I just hope you can pass my number to Qiao Yu, and have him call me back when he has time; there are some things I’d like to discuss with him."

"Oh, don’t worry, I’ll convey it to him shortly."

"Thank you, Teacher Lan. In the future, if there’s anything and you find it challenging, feel free to call me on this number."

"Thank you, Elder Yuan."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Elder Yuan."

After hanging up the call, Lan Jie and Zhang Tiejun looked at each other.

Then Zhang Tiejun said gloomily, "You gave Yuan’s number to Qiao Yu, wouldn’t that offend Academician Tian?"

"Huh?" Lan Jie was taken aback.

He had been too excited just now to think that far ahead.

"So what do we do?" Lan Jie was a bit dazed.

"Just give it, what else can you do? You’re just a small math teacher, afraid of an academician’s trouble?" Principal Zhang said slowly and with some self-satisfaction, "Ah, could it be that they both think highly of our Qiao Yu? What has that kid done at Yanbei University?"

"Oh..." Lan Jie didn’t hesitate anymore, he simply sent the number to Qiao Yu on WeChat, as Old Zhang said, he was just a small math teacher, no need to fear anything.

But he still edited a message: "Qiao Yu, this is Mr. Yuan Zhengxin’s number, take some time to call the elderly gentleman. By the way, it’s best not to tell your advisor."

Soon, Qiao Yu replied: "??? Huh? Who is Mr. Yuan Zhengxin? Why shouldn’t I tell my advisor?"

A single question left Lan Jie totally baffled.

Goodness, this kid has already apprenticed to Academician Tian, but still knows so little about his situation?

But Lan Jie had no intention of explaining all this to Qiao Yu. As a small high school teacher, he wasn’t fit to introduce these details, so he directly replied, "You can ask Professor Xue about these things, I can only tell you that Mr. Yuan Zhengxin is a very prestigious professor at Huaqing University now.
