Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 228 - 108: The Future Qiao Yu-Qiao Xi’s Upper Bound Theorem!_2

Oh right, his lunar birthday is the 29th of the twelfth month. Because when he was a child, his birthdays were all organized by his grandfather, who only recognized the lunar calendar...

So in Qiao Yu’s sixteenth year, he celebrated his birthday three times.

Another time he was called to Qingbei by his elder mentor, to see off Professor Zhang Shuwen, who he had only met once, back to the United States.

It was at this time that Qiao Yu learned that Professor Zhang was actually a professor and doctoral advisor at Princeton University. His role at Huaqing was merely as a visiting professor, and he would come to Huaqing once or twice a year to conduct some scheduled lectures and engage in some academic exchange activities at his elder mentor’s mathematics research center.

Additionally, his elder mentor introduced him to another professor, Professor Guo. Professor Guo Zhenggong was also a student of his elder mentor and currently serves as the head of the School of Mathematics at Hua Hai University, making him, by seniority, Qiao Yu’s mentor uncle.

In fact, Qiao Yu had already researched online the reasons and process behind the conflicts between his own teacher and elder mentor.

The online details were not very detailed, but the general process was there. For Qiao Yu, the biggest gain was discovering that his normally gentle elder mentor was actually quite fierce in his youth, with a particularly fiery temper.

However, regarding those matters mentioned online, Qiao Yu thought it was probably just a matter of pride and competition, so he showed much respect towards his mentor uncle.

As Xue Song said, the grudges of the previous generation couldn’t possibly affect him.

Of course, if anyone on either side disliked him, too bad. Qiao Yu felt that if he lost his temper, he could be quite fierce too, yes, he must be as fierce as his elder mentor was in his youth, to learn the full set.

Fortunately, both Professor Zhang and Professor Guo were quite kind to him. However, it seemed Professor Guo’s kindness largely came out of respect for Elder Yuan, with a politeness often tinged with a bit of aloofness and disdain, which Qiao Yu could sense but didn’t mind. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

People aren’t RMB, they can’t be liked by everyone. The moral and legal studies class said that the key is to grasp the main contradiction, and the attitude of a mentor uncle is irrelevant. In contrast, Professor Zhang, who was quite strict with him that day, although still strict, shared many substantial insights with him.

His words were full of care, and as they parted, he even suggested to Qiao Yu that if he wished, in a few years he could go to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study as an exchange doctoral student to study for one or two years, to get in touch with more advanced mathematical ideas abroad and broaden his horizons.

Of course, Qiao Yu verbally agreed very well, but he felt that perhaps he needed it in the past, but now, sitting at Yanbei and Huaqing with two major literature databases, there’s really no need to go abroad for face-to-face exchanges with foreign elites.

In fact, Qiao Yu has always felt that paper exchange is more efficient, because high-level papers truly contain no nonsense, with all the proof processes clearly laid out. This is enough for him to understand the mathematical ideas of the paper’s authors.

In short, Qiao Yu feels that his days at Yanbei University are quite comfortable.

Most of his days are spent reading books and papers, occasionally going out to audit a few classes.

And this kind of peaceful life is particularly rewarding.

In terms of studies, Qiao Yu’s progress in just two weeks can be described as astonishing. Yes, astonishing is indeed the word to use, after all, to simultaneously satisfy two academicians and to incite excited astonishment proves how strong Qiao Yu’s learning ability is.

Even the two big shots support him attending more classes at the Physics School.

Moreover, through observation, Qiao Yu found that Teacher Lan was not lying to him. Whether at Yanbei or Huaqing, there truly aren’t many girls in the School of Mathematics or the Astronomy School.

Even if there are, it seems they don’t quite match Qiao Yu’s aesthetic taste.

However, having nothing better to do, walking around the Weiming Lake, you can always see many pleasing seniors.

It seems Teacher Lan, Old Xue, Senior Brother Chen, and many around him in mathematics being single at an old age truly have their reasons.

Originally, they just couldn’t meet many female classmates, and when they were young, each had to focus wholeheartedly on those dull numbers. Having a girlfriend would be strange.

The only thing that troubles Qiao Yu is probably the research aspect. His study of the proposition he previously came up with seems to have hit a dead end. What he thought he could have long boasted about in front of his mentor and elder mentor now feels like a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat but a pity to discard.

However, on the whole, life is still quite peaceful and fulfilling.

This peaceful and fulfilling life was suddenly disrupted by the friends’ group.

Because Qiao Yu had long been lazy to speak in the friends’ group, this group of three gradually went quiet, with no one talking for a long time.

After all, everyone actually is quite busy.

But on the third Tuesday of February, that guy Yu Yongjun suddenly started frantically tagging Qiao Yu in the group.

"@Yu Shulin Wo Cao, Wo Cao, Wo Cao, the first phase of this year’s special training really is at Yanbei University! Boss, you’re invincible!"

"I beg you, boss, show yourself. Let me admire your presence."

"Please don’t abandon me, boss. Don’t you remember I helped you back in the day, even stood against that fool Yu Wei for you. Really, just come out for a moment, say anything, without your guidance, I’m struggling to breathe!"

...

One must admit, when Little Fatty gets fast with his fingers, he’s truly quick. In just a few minutes, he sent dozens of messages in the group, half of which tagged Qiao Yu.
