Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 254: Lao Mei, why are you doing something so big without making any noise?

Yang Shu was fed with dog food all the way. Although he had won the regional championship and advanced directly to the finals, he felt that he was not that happy.

Instead, there is a kind of motivation to know shame and then become braver.

After secretly glancing at Xu Qingshan who was resting with his eyes closed, Yang Shu made up his mind to continue to hone himself after returning. When the finals next year started, he would definitely surprise Xu Qingshan.

It can't be like today's game, where the effect was limited and the whole team relied on Xu Qingshan to lead the team.

The three students sat in the business class, but Chen Dayue and Mei Hong sat together in the economy class.

Mei Hong fell asleep as soon as they got on the plane. Chen Dayue, on the other hand, was very lively and not at all steady. He did not look like a director in his forties but more like an enthusiastic child.

He nudged Mei Hong with his elbow.

"Lao Mei, don't sleep, let's chat. The projects Qingshan has assigned to you this time should all be related to ML, right? Your School of Information Science and Technology should also be short of people in probability and statistics, right? If you don't want to cooperate with the School of Mathematics, then it would not be bad to cooperate with our Department of Statistics."

Mei Hong lifted the blindfold and glanced at him.

He didn't answer, he just pulled the blindfold back on.

"Lao Mei, please say something, Lao Mei."

Chen Dayue continued to harass him.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Mei Hong answered reluctantly.

"It's broad daylight, why are you taking a break? Let's chat as old friends. You see, Old Xia has been transferred out recently, and I can't find someone from your Institute of Information Science to have dinner with. Let's go have dinner after we get off the plane?"

If Chen Dayue started with Xu Qingshan, the project would be easy.

It's just that he wanted to cooperate with Mei Hong this time, on a public-to-public basis. He didn't want to make Xu Qingshan embarrassed. He could solve the problem by pestering Mei Hong, so there was no need to waste their master-disciple relationship.

"Stop arguing. Okay, okay, we'll need someone to do statistics anyway. I'll find you when the time comes. I really need to rest. I won't have time to eat after I get off the plane. There's already a team on the way over there, so I'll have to start busying myself with reception work."

Mei Hong tilted her head and ignored Chen Dayue after saying that.

"Okay, that's a deal."

Chen Dayue smiled and stopped arguing with Mei Hong.

The teams that came to visit were quite quick and rushed.

Chen Dayue simply closed his eyes, stretched out his legs, and had a good rest.

Not long after.

The plane landed at Beijing Airport.

Before Xu Qingshan decided what to eat with Jiang Huanxi tonight, Mei Hong pulled him aside and gave him some precautions.

Jiang Huanxi looked at Xu Qingshan and his luggage, and waited for Xu Qingshan obediently. As for the other students, including Yang Shu, Mei Hong asked the young lecturer with sparse hair to take the other students back to school first.

"What? We are waiting at the airport. A visiting scholar group will land soon. What time is it?"

Xu Qingshan looked helpless.

But they came here to find him. Others can be missing, but he cannot be missing.

"It's also because there aren't enough flights. It's just a one-way trip. There won't be direct flights for a while, so they moved it up to today. They contacted us the day before yesterday, but you were in the game, so they didn't tell you."

Mei Hong smiled awkwardly.

In fact, he had too many social engagements at the dinner last night and forgot about this matter because of drinking.

"alright."

Xu Qingshan looked at Chen Dayue who was wandering around, pointed at Old Chen and asked.

"What's going on with Lao Chen? Why doesn't he return to school?"

"Isn't this the field of machine learning? The ML field is also closely related to probability and statistics. In the future, our Institute of Information Science and Technology will probably cooperate with the Department of Statistics. He can also help with the reception, so that we can have a better reputation."

Mei Hong explained.

But it feels a bit weird to say this.

It seems that Chen Dayue and Xu Qingshan have a closer relationship?
He somehow felt like a clown.

"Then just wait."

Xu Qingshan looked at the casual clothes he was wearing.

"By the way, which team is this?"

Xu Qingshan and Mei Hong walked towards Jiang Huanxi, took their luggage, and went to the airport to meet them.

They were already next to Jiang Huanxi. Mei Hong thought for a moment before speaking.

"Professor Jessica Davis from the University of Toronto mentioned in his email that he was discussing the complexity and algorithmic issues of boda manipulation at a previous ML conference. The inspiration you gave him has advanced a lot of content. He wanted to come and discuss new difficulties with you, and also wanted to cooperate with the University of Toronto to develop new projects in machine learning."

Mei Hong shrugged at Xu Qingshan.

"Of course, they must be coming for you."

"Oh, Professor Davis Grunt from Toronto?"

Xu Qingshan repeated it in agreement, but soon relevant information and related people appeared in his mind.

He swallowed and subconsciously looked at Jiang Huanxi who was looking at him innocently.

No way?
Lao Mei, you are doing something big without making any noise?

Xu Qingshan didn't think that Olivia would not come with Professor Davis' team when they came for a visiting study.

While in Ottawa, nothing substantial happened between the two, but their relationship could be described as highly ambiguous.

Given Olivia's personality, it was not difficult for Xu Qingshan to suspect that the other party would show closeness and longing when they met.

otherwise!

Professor Davis’ team will not come to China so soon!

The issue is.

Jiang Huanxi is here now!

Bro is sweating profusely.

"Qingshan, why are your palms sweating? I feel the air conditioning in the airport is a bit cold. How about I help you push your luggage?"

Jiang Huanxi glanced at Dean Mei who was looking smug on the side, and whispered to Xu Qingshan.

She didn't know what Dean Mei had just said when he pulled Xu Qingshan aside to discuss something, but looking at Xu Qingshan's expression, it didn't seem very good.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just drank too much water on the plane."

Xu Qingshan casually made an excuse, but he was quickly thinking of a solution in his head.

The issue is.

Now the young lecturer has already left with the others.

It was impossible for him to let Jiang Huanxi go back alone, but if a sensitive little ostrich like Jiang Huanxi saw Olivia, who knows what he would observe.

"Aren't we going back yet?"

Jiang Huanxi originally thought that the four of them wanted a separate car.

Xu Qingshan sighed in his heart, but still spoke.

"Meiyuan just notified me that an academic team will come to visit us later. Since they are here to see me, we have to stay and receive them."

"Looking for you?"

Jiang Huanxi blinked.

"It was a professor I met at the ICML conference before. He wanted to collaborate with me and also with Kyoto University, but the flight he originally booked was cancelled, so he came quite suddenly."

"Oh"

Jiang Huanxi nodded, feeling a little embarrassed.

Xu Qingshan noticed Jiang Huanxi's little awkwardness, squeezed her hand slightly, and asked.

"what happened?"

"without"

Jiang Huanxi lowered his head slightly, but as if he thought of something, he raised his head again and asked.

"I just feel that Dean Mei is the dean, Director Chen is the director, and you are a genius. I am the only one who seems useless. Am I suitable to be a receptionist dressed like this?"

Jiang Huanxi was wearing the same comfortable outfit as Xu Qingshan today.

She wore a simple purple sweatshirt, simple grey trousers and no makeup on her face. She relied purely on her natural beauty and red lips and white teeth to maintain her looks.

"Of course it fits."

Xu Qingshan squeezed the girl's soft, boneless hand again.

"Be more confident, Creek."

Xu Qingshan said softly. "I think your math talent is definitely better than mine. With time, Cricket Xiao Xu will be no problem."

Xu Qingshan felt that he was telling the truth.

He really felt that Jiang Huanxi's mathematical talent was much better than his own. Rather than saying that he had a good mathematical talent, it would be better to say that he had higher brain power. But in fact, Xu Qingshan felt that he could not describe this very well.

Jiang Huanxi looked up at Xu Qingshan, her lips slightly raised, and she complained to him in a low voice.

"You just know how to comfort me and tell lies with your eyes open."

"real."

Xu Qingshan said firmly, then lowered his head and said.

"Or at the very least, you are the one with the best looks among the four of us. Look at Lao Chen, the squirrel head, and Lao Mei, the square head. When receiving foreign guests, don't we have to rely on you to improve our looks?"

Jiang Huanxi couldn't help laughing when she heard Xu Qingshan talking about squirrel head and square head. She reached out and patted him gently on the arm, more like she was acting coquettishly.

"how about you?"

Jiang Huanxi stared at Xu Qingshan with smiling eyes.

"I?"

Xu Qingshan pointed at himself.

"Ah."

"Isn't this about improving my overall level? In a 2v2, if I'm not good-looking, wouldn't it make you, Mr. Jiang, look bad?"

Xu Qingshan's words caused Jiang Huanxi to slap him a few more times.

"What teacher Jiang? You're yelling nonsense."

Jiang Huanxi's face flushed.

It wasn't that she was thinking wrongly, but sometimes when she and Xu Qingshan were alone at home, Xu Qingshan would ask her to cooperate in some identity-switching which she thought was a bit perverted, with teacher being a relatively frequent profession.

"Well, I'm a serious teacher. It's you who has the wrong idea, Teacher Xiao Jiang."

"You still said that!"

Jiang Huanxi gritted her teeth and slapped Xu Qingshan several times.

Xu Qingshan didn't hide either, and let his girlfriend throw tantrums in a coquettish manner.

"Oh, they have such a good relationship as a couple."

Mei Hong and Chen Dayue, who were standing by, couldn't hear clearly either. The two old men were just sighing at the vitality of the young people.

"Yeah, my wife and I also played like this when we were young. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Chen Dayue sighed.

"I'm pretty much the same. I fall in love this way in my dreams, too."

Mei Hong folded his arms across his chest and echoed.

"In a dream?"

Chen Dayue turned his head and looked at Mei Hong, then suddenly realized.

"I almost forgot that you, Mei, are still a bachelor. Tsk, you computer science majors are just not good enough. I heard that many students from your School of Information Science and Technology are in their 30s and have never touched a girl's hand."

Chen Dayue joked with a smile.

Mei Hong rolled his eyes at him again.

"What's wrong with bachelors? Bachelors eat your rice? Computers are the romance of men."

"Tsk, excuse."

Chen Dayue hit the nail on the head.

"It's not a choice between the two. Look at the handsome guys in our School of Mathematics. Aren't they good at math and girlfriends at the same time?"

"Isn't that because there are few female students in our School of Information Science?"

Mei Hong said stubbornly.

"Hey, Lao Mei, your remarks are not rigorous. The male-to-female ratio in the School of Mathematics is 5:1, and your School of Information Science is 3:1. The problem is not the male-to-female ratio. Do you have to absorb it internally?"

So some small talk.

Xu Qingshan and Jiang Huanxi started arguing and quarreling.

As a result, Chen Dayue and Mei Hong also started arm wrestling and doing some tricks.

They are actually free.

Fortunately, not long after, the team responsible for receiving visiting scholar teams from Peking University came over, found Mei Hong and Xu Qingshan to meet them, and waited together for Professor Davis and others to come out.

After a while.

Figures began to appear in the airport reception area.

Jiang Huanxi was a little nervous. She subconsciously let go of Xu Qingshan's hand and took a step back, hiding behind Xu Qingshan with her body half turned sideways, as if watching Xu Qingshan in the shadows as he walked to the front of the stage and then to the backstage under the spotlight.

If it were an ordinary scene, Xu Qingshan might let Jiang Huanxi stay in his comfort zone.

But this time is different.

Before Jiang Huanxi could stand firmly, Xu Qingshan pulled her over again.

Xu Qingshan turned his head and spoke seriously to Jiang Huanxi.

"Xiaoxi, hold my hand tight."

"But this is an academic exchange, I..."

Jiang Huanxi was a little confused and nervous, although she didn't know what she was nervous about.

"Aren't you my girlfriend?"

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Or, in the future you don't want to attend official events as Mrs. Xu?"

Jiang Huanxi was silent for a moment.

Xu Qingshan felt his right arm being embraced tightly by the girl. He raised his head with satisfaction and looked towards the airport entrance.

at the corner.

A group of Europeans and Americans with distinct appearances came out dragging suitcases. Xu Qingshan recognized the tall and elegant Professor Davis at a glance.

Similarly, he also saw Olivia, who was wearing a Chanel-style suit, dragging a pink suitcase, and following Professor Davis with an expectant look.

Olivia followed Professor Davis all the time.

Even though she was his mentor, she was always urging the professor to walk faster in her heart.

She couldn't wait to see Xu Qingshan again, the oriental man who made her so addicted.

The moment you turn the corner.

Olivia saw the face that haunted her dreams and had a lasting effect on her.

At first glance, her eyes were filled with joy.

Finally see you again.

But at the second glance, Olivia's smile froze.

She was a cute and pretty girl, not very tall, at least in terms of height. Olivia didn't think she was more suitable for Xu Qingshan than herself.

But the girl's hands were tightly holding Xu Qingshan's hands at this time, as if her whole body was half hanging on Xu Qingshan.

If she had just gotten closer, perhaps Olivia's mood wouldn't have fallen to the bottom so quickly.

But her eyes were immediately focused on those hands.

Fingers intertwined.

Needless to say, their relationship is about to be revealed.

"Olivia, why are you stopping? Let's go."

The companion beside her was touched by Olivia who suddenly stopped, and gently pulled her, asking with some surprise.

"Aren't you most anxious to see your Mr. Right along the way?"

The light-hearted teasing voice of her companions was like a knife stabbing into Olivia's heart, which was already broken in an instant.

Xu Qingshan naturally noticed Olivia's expression.

He tightened his grip on Jiang Huanxi's little hand and nodded slightly towards the blonde girl.

I'm stuck today, so let me think about how to handle this scene better. I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
