Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 213 - 105 Grandmaster, I will definitely magnify and glorify our Sect!_5

It was indeed the case, Qiao Yu calling him "Grandmaster" obviously left the other side a bit at a loss for words.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Qiao Yu, you’re calling me Grandmaster?"

"Of course, the first day I came to Yanbei University, my teacher, Director Tian, mentioned you to me. He said you are the pride of Huaxia’s mathematics community, and you were the first Chinese to receive the Fields Medal. He also said I must take you as a role model and target in the future, and learn from your spirit of dedication when facing challenges.

That’s the only way I can go further down the path of mathematics in the future! I’ve been thinking recently of picking a time to visit you at Huaqing, to hear your teachings in person. I couldn’t believe my high school teacher just sent me your phone number, I’m so overjoyed!"

The old man on the other end fell silent, unable to respond for a while, probably not knowing what to say.

Xue Song had already turned his dull gaze towards the window. Well, he should have left just now, he shouldn’t be here listening to all this.

At this moment, Qiao Yu’s eyes were locked on the computer screen in front of him.

Finally, the phone made a sound again, "Qiao Yu, are you just making this up?"

"Making it up? How could that be, Grandmaster? The day I came, Director Tian talked with me for half an hour, and he spent twenty minutes discussing your achievements and accomplishments back then, especially your skilled work with Ricci curvature. It was simply magical. Aside from you, who else could have thought of analyzing the curvature on these manifolds to describe the bending of space!

Moreover, Director Tian also mentioned that when he was studying the existence problem of the Keller-Einstein metric, it was entirely based on the techniques from Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations that you taught him, especially using the Ricci flow equation to handle the nonlinear terms.

This allowed him to maintain the smoothness of solutions during the evolution process of the flow, while also avoiding the formation of singularities. Director Tian also said that the set of methods you taught him was extremely creative and advanced at the time, and, indeed, your receipt of the Fields Medal had no element of luck involved.

By the way, the mentor also told me that regardless of what others might say, his most important achievements would not have been possible without the help and guidance you gave him during that time. Honestly, I just admire you so much! Eh? No, Grandmaster, why would you think I’m making things up? Aren’t these what you taught my teacher back then?"

Again, there was silence on the other end, and Xue Song was silent too.

Meanwhile, Qiao Yu was flipping through the papers even faster, really fully engrossed in reading...

Xue Song’s thoughts drifted away, he started to somewhat suspect that perhaps a historical event might happen soon in the Huaxia mathematics community. Like maybe a great reconciliation or something, well, if such a thing were to happen, he would be considered one of the witnesses, right?

The fact is, a super mature fifteen-year-old kid really knows how to make the elderly happy...

He could even think of flipping through papers before making the call, how did Qiao Yu’s brain work?

He didn’t know what the old man on the other end was thinking at this moment, but for him, it wouldn’t matter anymore whether the former disciple acknowledges or not, but this grandstudent must be acknowledged.

...

At Huaqing, the old man held the phone, truly at a loss for words for quite a while.

Although instinctively there were many doubts, Qiao Yu was able to state his proudest works from back then in one breath, and not just the achievements that are easiest to find online, and he spoke sincerely, without hesitation, with even details, upon careful consideration, it did not seem fabricated.

Considering also that this child is only fifteen, it wasn’t hard to hear from Teacher Lan’s oral account just now that Qiao Yu was just a young talent struggling and striving in adversity, he shouldn’t be making such blatant lies.

Moreover, from the time he hung up with Lan Jie to the call from Qiao Yu, it was only ten minutes in total, considering the time it would take the teachers over at Railway First Middle School to contact Qiao Yu and for both sides to communicate, even if he wanted to make up lies, he wouldn’t have had time to prepare so much, right?

It involuntarily made him feel that this was probably true, that his unworthy student really introduced him to Qiao Yu like this!

There were definitely loopholes, but considering that if Tian Yanzhen only chatted with Qiao Yu for half an hour, they probably wouldn’t delve too deeply into topics, much less the whole story from back then, it seemed quite normal.

And plus, Qiao Yu just casually mentioning their conversation time made sense.

The old man certainly knew that Tian Yanzhen was usually very busy, so taking half an hour to talk with Qiao Yu on their first meeting was reasonable.

In short, full of details... ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Alright, it seems that Tian Yanzhen thought highly of this child, so no matter what, he must show respect for teachers and the way of conduct, but since Tian Yanzhen had communicated with Qiao Yu in this manner, he couldn’t very well continue to criticize the other party...

While contemplating how to start the conversation, the young man on the other end spoke again.

"Eh, Grandmaster, why are you not speaking anymore? Really, Grandmaster, although I’ve only been at Yanbei University for a few days, Mr. Tian has been quite kind to me, just like you were to him back in the day. Since Huaqing is so close to Yanbei, should I visit you frequently?

Director Tian mentioned this to me the day before yesterday too. He said even though I haven’t officially enrolled yet, I should quickly get a temporary student ID, and be registered in the entry system at Huaqing across the street, so if he doesn’t have time to guide me, I can just go over to Huaqing to ask you.

Director Tian also said that your knowledge is far more extensive than his, and your experience in dealing with problems is much richer, and that it would certainly not be wrong to consult you more in the future. Well, at that time, you wouldn’t refuse to let me in, would you?"
