Chapter 353 Fast is Slow, Slow is Fast

"Ding dong."

The doorbell of Xu Qingshan's new home rang again.

Xu Qingshan had finished his work and went to open the door.

Before he reached the door, Xu Qingshan heard lively conversation outside.

"The recent achievements of Qingshan are mainly in your School of Information Science and Technology. They don't pay much attention to our School of Mathematics."

"No, no, the School of Information Science is asking Qingshan for help. Isn't Qingshan's roots still in the School of Mathematics?"

"In my opinion, Dean Tian can just sit in his office with his feet up in the future. With Qingshan in our School of Mathematics at Peking University, we will be a wealthy family for the next fifty years."

"But you can't rely on Qingshan for everything, right?"

"Clap."

Xu Qingshan felt embarrassed to listen any further.

These old guys are getting better and better at flattering others.

If he lets them continue talking, he would have become the young leader who would unify the martial arts world.

Xu Qingshan suddenly opened the door, but saw several old men outside the door leaning sideways with their ears facing the door, still talking, and not prepared for Xu Qingshan's sudden attack at all.

After the door opens.

They touched their heads and picked their ears as if nothing had happened.

"Teachers, please come in."

Xu Qingshan reluctantly stepped aside and let these old guys who were still playful come into the house.

Although Jiang Huanxi asked Xu Qingshan to invite the relatives of the professors and teachers, considering that there were too many people, they all came on their own.

"Wow, this new home is well maintained and looks very presentable."

"Xiaoxi is a hardworking girl, and so is Xiaotong. The last time I went to your office, they were both very serious."

"There are two girls cooking in the kitchen right now. Qingshan, I'm not bragging, but I'm the one who cooks at home. My wife loves the food I cook, but she likes to say things like she can't live without me in her life. Oh, that's so disgusting."

After entering the house.

This group of old professors also walked around the room with their hands behind their backs, looking around, and their mouths were not idle either, as they talked to Xu Qingshan in groups of three or four about this and that.

However, after Tian Gang entered the house, he walked around and came to Xu Qingshan's desk. Looking at the table full of various manuscript drafts, he nodded with satisfaction.

Although what everyone said outside the door just now was deliberately intended for Xu Qingshan to hear.

But he was indeed a little worried that Xu Qingshan was putting too much energy into computers and neglecting his love for mathematics and his great work.

Yes.

In Tian Gang's view, among all scientific research, only mathematics is the truly great work.

In fact, if you ask any mathematician this question, they will probably give the same answer.

That is, "Mathematics is the foundation of the universe" and "Everything in the world can be explained by mathematics."

"Aoyama."

Tian Gang stood in front of the desk, picked up two drafts at random, looked at them, then put them down and called out to Xu Qingshan who was preparing to make tea for the professors.

"Hey, teacher."

Xu Qingshan handed the tea set in his hand directly to Chen Dayue who was eager to try. Chen Dayue sat on the host seat contentedly and started to make tea for Mei Hong and the others.

Xu Qingshan walked to Tian Gang's side.

"Not bad. Have you started to concentrate on studying the Riemann hypothesis recently?"

Tian Gang pointed to the drafts on the table in front of him and asked with satisfaction.

"I've been a bit too busy recently. It just so happened that Mr. Bangbieli sent me some of his manuscripts and collections, so I'll do some sorting work first. Although it seems like I've written a lot, in fact, the effective work is limited and the speed is relatively slow."

Xu Qingshan touched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a smile.

"Slow is good. How can we be fast in math? Shortcuts often mean greater costs and more difficult levels to overcome. There is a saying that goes, fast is slow, and slow is fast."

Tian Gang patted Xu Qingshan on the shoulder.

"Lay a solid foundation, clarify your thinking, take each step carefully, and proceed steadily. You will definitely be fine."

Xu Qingshan smiled.

He himself was not very confident that he could solve the Riemann hypothesis, but Tian Gang was much more confident than him. Looking at the certainty on his face when he spoke, it seemed as if solving the Riemann hypothesis was as easy as drinking a sip of water for Xu Qingshan.

"I try my best."

The teacher and the student were talking by the window without avoiding people. Other professors who were drinking tea came over after hearing what they were saying and smelling the tea. These little old men stretched their necks to look at Xu Qingshan's draft.

Not everyone of them can understand what Xu Qingshan is writing.

For example, Dean Xu Chongren, who specializes in biology, just joined in the fun.

For someone like Mei Hong, although computer science also requires learning mathematics, it is incredible that he can understand the steps of this specialized project.

only.

This table full of drafts looks very intimidating.

"That's amazing, Qingshan. Are you going to come up with some world-class results again? I'm optimistic that you'll win the Fields Medal. If you win, you must treat me to dinner again."

"You are worthy of being the future pillar of our Kyoto University. With this kind of enthusiasm, it will be hard for you not to succeed."

Even a shameless person like Xu Qingshan would feel embarrassed to be flattered by these old men who love to fawn on him.

"Teachers, please be gentle. If you continue to praise me, it will be like flattery. I haven't succeeded yet. I still need to work hard."

Xu Qingshan said with a wry smile.

He has to deal with those who come at him aggressively and those who need to be dealt with forcefully, and he can handle it.

But he felt a little embarrassed when others showed their kindness so openly and praised him so generously.

More importantly, although he has tried many approaches to solve the Riemann hypothesis, he has basically no clue as to how to solve it.

"Come on, have some tea first. Why are you fussing so much? You are still young. There is no need to rush."

Chen Dayue came over and put his arm around Xu Qingshan's shoulders with a bright smile.

"Come on, come on, try the tea I made."

When these academics sit down to drink tea, they are actually no different from ordinary people, except that they just brag and chat, which has become various interesting stories in various academic forums and among their students.

Before, they would not mention these things in front of Xu Qingshan.

But now Xu Qingshan has begun to formally form his own experimental team and is also formally teaching students, so it is necessary to tell Xu Qingshan about these things.

Xu Qingshan sat in the middle, making tea for the teachers and listening with great interest.

They talked about this and that, vividly describing the various strange and possible emergencies they encountered when managing research teams and students, as well as the solutions.

"Are all the teachers here? The food will be ready soon. Do you want to drink some wine tonight?"

Tong Tong came out of the kitchen, saw these old professors, and asked frankly.

Jiang Huanxi was still cooking in the kitchen. Her cooking skills were recognized by Tong Tong. Except that some dishes were probably too large and she was a little rushed to cook, everything else was done quite well.

"Just drink a little. Don't drink too much. Today we are celebrating your move to a new home. Xiaotong, after the chemistry competition, do you want to come directly to our School of Life Sciences? I think the titration process you did last time was perfect. The difference between doing biology and chemistry is actually not that big. I've read your file. You also wanted to participate in the biology competition before, right?"

When Xu Chongren saw Tong Tong, he became excited.

He hurriedly called Tong Tong, and almost wanted to recruit him to study under him.

Mei Hong, who was standing by, felt something was wrong and immediately interrupted. "Hey, Xiaotong, the School of Life Sciences is good, but your brother is in charge of the external projects of the Information Science Center. We have already made an appointment. You are already a member of the National Academy of Sciences. If you want to be recommended, you can directly choose our School of Information Science. Then you can directly study for your brother's graduate school. How great is that."

Tong Tong obviously didn't expect that just by asking whether someone wanted to drink, he would become the focus and so popular.

Although this was mainly because of Xu Qingshan, she did not feel unhappy at all.

Her experiences from childhood to adulthood are enough for her to face it calmly.

Tong Tong just smiled faintly.

"I'm still thinking about how to win the gold medal in the chemistry competition. My brother will take care of the rest. Let's not talk about that today. I'm going to get the wine and prepare the glasses for the teachers. All the food today was made by Sister Xiaoxi herself. The teachers must praise her a lot later."

Tong Tong counted the number of people and went into the kitchen to prepare the wine utensils and cups.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, these old guys started praising her again.

One praised Tong Tong for being well-behaved and sensible, and another praised Tong Tong for his high learning talent. Anyway, with all these old guys saying this, it seemed that all of them had turned into the praise party today.

"Ding dong."

Just when they were chatting happily, the doorbell of Xu Qingshan's house rang again.

Xu Qingshan went to open the door.

The people who came were Qiu Yong and Qu Jinmou, and the young couple Ye Xincheng and Ye Qianqian who brought them with them.

"Is it so lively?"

Ye Xincheng was a little nervous, but Ye Qianqian was smart and brave enough to look inside.

"Qingshan, happy moving into your new home. These are some gifts I asked someone to bring back."

Qiu Yong is quite formal.

He was dressed formally and holding a gift box in his hand. Qu Jinmou was also holding three or two things beside him. The two groups of people inside and outside the door looked at each other. The originally lively room suddenly became quiet, and Qiu Yong also stopped.

I don't know what this atmosphere is about though.

Xu Qingshan was just about to say a few words to smooth things over.

The enthusiasm in the room burst out again in an instant.

"President Qiu is here too? Isn't Huaqing busy today?"

"Why is Lao Qiu so arrogant? He's dressed so formally and brought souvenirs with him. It seems like we're here to eat and drink for free, right?"

"Old Qu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as handsome as ever."

As soon as Qiu Yong and Qu Jinmou entered the house, they blended into this group of old guys without any trace and became one of them.

Ye Xincheng stood beside Xu Qingshan and spoke in a low voice.

"You didn't say there were so many big guys coming today?"

Xu Qingshan shrugged.

"What's the big deal? Can't you see the boss every day at Huaqing? Your laboratory is not bad."

"How can they be the same? That's a public matter, this is a private matter. Just because you can meet the big guys doesn't mean you can brag and talk nonsense with them in peace."

Ye Xincheng was still thinking about how to speak and act more appropriately.

As a result, Ye Qianqian sat directly next to Xu Chongren and started chatting with her dean.

After chatting for a while, these big guys suddenly turned their attention to Xu Qingshan, especially focusing on Ye Xincheng, which made Ye Xincheng a little confused.

But Qiu Yong and Ye Qianqian were both waving at him, asking him to hurry over, so he obediently went over to recognize their faces.

Xu Qingshan smiled and shook his head.

Xincheng is pretty good like this. With a girlfriend like this, I don’t have to worry about many things.

The kitchen was gradually winding down.

Tong Tong and Ye Qianqian took turns serving dishes from the kitchen. They asked Xu Qingshan and Ye Xincheng to sit down and chat with the teachers.

As a result, the conversation started.

This housewarming party was more like a happy family dinner. There was no intrigue, no surprises, only all kinds of funny jokes and light-hearted stories.

Jiang Huanxi has been praised in various ways since he sat down.

It was even more exaggerated than when Xu Qingshan was praised in the afternoon.

The girl was originally thin-skinned, and she was able to cook this meal only because of her faith. She was able to sit here and listen to others praising her because she was able to hold on because of her identity as Xu Qingshan's girlfriend.

It was not until late at night that Xu Qingshan, Ye Xincheng and others saw off the professors one by one.

Finally I returned home.

Jiang Huanxi lay tiredly on the sofa to take a rest, Tong Tong was also curled up in the recliner in a daze, and Ye Qianqian helped to tidy up the tea set and cups on the table.

Several young people seemed to have their souls drained away after a party.

"Let's just call it Dong Lai Shun or Private Kitchen from now on. Cooking is really too tiring."

Jiang Huanxi murmured softly.

Xu Qingshan smiled and let her lie on his thighs and massaged her temples. Ye Xincheng originally wanted to stay and talk to Xu Qingshan about the progress of her recent research work and be proud of her own small achievements.

But he was pulled away by Ye Qianqian, who was very discerning.

There were only three people left in the room.

Tong Tong curled up in the recliner and stared at Xu Qingshan and Jiang Huanxi. She tried her best not to show that eager look.

"You and Xiao Tong have been praised all night tonight. This one time is enough. Now everyone knows that I, Xu Qingshan, have a partner and a sister who are good at cooking and very cheerful."

Xu Qingshan soothed.

"Um"

Jiang Huanxi and Xu Qingshan were chatting and fell asleep because they were too tired.

Xu Qingshan helped her change her clothes and then carried her into the room.

Tong Tong curled up in the recliner, not saying a word, with her chin resting on her knees. Even though the recliner was about to flip over, she didn't really care.

"Bah."

The door is closed.

Xu Qingshan came out of the house and came to the recliner.

Tong Tong raised his eyes slightly and said nothing.

"Xiaoxi fell asleep. Thank you for your hard work today."

Xu Qingshan smiled and rubbed Tong Tong's head.

"It's not hard. I want to press it, too."

Tong Tong raised his head, looked at Xu Qingshan stubbornly, and pointed at his temple.

"Okay, okay, come on."

Xu Qingshan leaned over and picked up Tong Tong from the recliner, carried her to the sofa, and gently massaged her temples.

Tong Tong lay quietly on Xu Qingshan's lap, enjoying the comfort of her beloved brother. She felt that she had fully found the state that suits her best.

She doesn't like to seek a sense of existence or so-called status.

But she found that she had an irreplaceable foothold in the composition of this family.
