Chapter 101: Set off, target Yanbei University! ( words chapter)
If Xu Shu hadn't reminded him, Qiao Yu would have almost forgotten that he had a real-name authenticated Weibo account. Although he had downloaded the Weibo APP on his phone a long time ago, he had never clicked on it to check it out.

But there was nothing he could do, as Xu Shu had already found a reason for him.

He is busy...

How can a serious person who is busy studying every day have time to go on Weibo?
However, since the other person reminded him so considerately, Qiao Yu felt that he should still respond.

So I replied on WeChat: “Huh? You’re still following CMO?”

What Qiao Yu didn't expect was that the other party seemed to be very idle. Just a few seconds after he sent the message, he received a response.

"I'm not following the CMO, I'm following you. To be honest, you're the first certified influencer I've developed since I joined the company, so I often follow your movements. You're on the list of candidates for the provincial competition announced by the Xingnan Mathematical Society.

This afternoon, Luhai Middle School and the official website of the Chinese Mathematical Society announced the list of CMO winners and the list of the national training team. I saw your name at first glance. You are the only two full-score gold medalists in this year's CMO!"

Qiao Yu felt that there must be a lot of talented people working for Weibo. Look how nice this statement sounds.

"Oh, okay then. Please help me change my real-name authentication first, and I'll post a Weibo post later."

"Well, it's best to have a Weibo post with pictures, which has more communication elements, is easier to become popular, and attracts fans." Xu Shu reminded again.

"Know it."

After Qiao Yu finished replying, he suddenly thought of what he could do to help his alma mater.

As for posting photos, he happened to have taken quite a few today, taken at the school gate, which could just help promote his alma mater.

Maybe in the future Xingcheng will go from having four famous universities to having five famous universities?

So Qiao Yu opened Lao Zhang’s WeChat.

Today's photos were all taken by the teacher in charge of photography using a SLR camera. They were sent to Lao Zhang, who then sent them to him.

Qiao Yu selected a photo of him and a group of school leaders.

He stood in the middle of the first row, with Principal Zhang on his left and Lan Jie on his right. The first row was filled with leaders with the word "school" in their names.

The dean of studies, the director of the political and educational department, the class teachers and all the teachers were in the second row.

Just as he was about to log into Weibo, Qiao Yu thought for a moment and used the editing function on his phone to blur his face. Only then did he log into Weibo.

Xu Shu acted quickly. After he logged in, he saw that the real-name authentication label had indeed added another line, which was quite pleasing to the eye. Then he looked at his number of fans and was surprised. He remembered that the number of fans on the day of registration was only more than 2, but he left it here and it actually increased to 3.1.

Qiao Yu was quite happy. If these fans were real people, they could form five combined brigades.

After clicking on the post button to upload the processed photos, Qiao Yu needed to edit the text. He couldn't think of what to write for a while.

There seems to be nothing much to say about the life in the winter camp. After the opening ceremony, there are exams, lectures, and free exchanges...

Nothing seemed to impress him...

Naturally, the images of Yu Yongjun and Yu Wei appeared in Qiao Yu's mind.

The only two funny guys who left a deep impression on me were these two.

He was too lazy to care about that scoundrel Yu Yongjun, so the only thing left in his mind was Yu Wei's arrogant little expression.

Isn't the copy coming here...

"As we all know, compared to liberal arts exams like Chinese and English, which have a lot of subjective questions, getting full marks in math exams or even competitions should be as easy as breathing, right?

But why can't a guy who always shows off his coolness get full marks? Is it because he doesn't want to? The third place in the Linhai League, the CMO is still the third place student, find out the reason for yourself. There has been no progress in more than two months. Have you studied hard? "

After finishing the copy, Qiao Yu checked it again and found that there seemed to be no typos, then he pressed the publish button with satisfaction.

This copy should be perfect.

I just don’t know if Yu Wei usually goes on Weibo. If he didn’t see it, it would be meaningless.

However, what Qiao Yu did not expect was that just after this Weibo post was published, he was about to quit and do something else, but suddenly there was movement in the Weibo comment section.

Who is this?
Treat Weibo as WeChat? Reply so quickly?
No wonder the reply was so quick, just three question marks.

No emotional value at all, bad review!
But in just a short while, the number of comments suddenly increased.

"Is it true that getting full marks in a math competition is as easy as breathing? I didn't study much, so don't lie to me, big brother."

"I was just about to criticize him, but then I saw that he was the top CMO this year with a perfect score. Xiaolibaba also got a perfect score in the math competition. He is a real big shot and I can't criticize him. Brothers, accumulate your anger points and go find the next show-off to criticize!"

"Oh my god, CMO is ranked third and still gets scolded? Is this the world of the strong? I envy you, I envy you."

"Although the blogger is very arrogant, let's be realistic. The league only counts the provincial rankings, and CMO is the national ranking. Linhai is third and third in the country, so there is still progress, right? Of course, the first DISS the third, so we outsiders won't say much."

"If you don't understand, then ask, isn't CMO the abbreviation for Chief Marketing Officer? When did it have anything to do with math?"

"Why would people in society see this Weibo? CMO is the abbreviation of the China Mathematical Olympiad, which corresponds to IMO, which is also known as the National Middle School Mathematics Winter Camp in China! Only the strongest among CMOs can represent China to participate in IMO!"

"Mathematical Olympiad! Awesome! By the way, where can I find the CMO transcript? I suddenly want to see who the third place is!"

"No, Master Qiao Yu, are you so naughty?"

……

Looking at the rapidly growing comment section, Qiao Yu touched his chin, somewhat confused.

Who are those fans who follow him?
If students make up the majority, they probably don’t have time to go on Weibo, right?

No, with the rapid increase in comments, Qiao Yu found that his number of fans also saw a surge. In just a few minutes, he already had 3.6 fans.

Nearly four thousand more fans appeared out of nowhere.

Qiao Yu opened WeChat again and asked Xu Shu, "Is posting a Weibo post so effective? I gained 4,000 followers in just 10 minutes? If I keep posting a Weibo post every day, won't I soon have a million followers?"

Soon, the other party responded with an expression of sweat falling from a waterfall.

"Boss, no, that's not how it works! First of all, because you are still a new V, you will get some traffic support. Secondly, we have big data portraits of users in the background, so your Weibo posts will be pushed to those who usually pay attention to popular science and knowledge sharing bloggers, as well as users who are interested in learning and science.

In addition, the effect of this type of targeted push is also gradually decreasing. After all, there is a fixed number of users with similar profiles on the platform. In the early stage, everyone paid attention to it, but in the later stage, there will definitely be fewer people. However, although insisting on updating Weibo every day is not very useful for increasing the number of fans, it is definitely very beneficial for increasing the stickiness of fans. "

"Oh, I see." Qiao Yu replied casually, his interest in Weibo greatly reduced.

I can only say that this explanation is very reasonable.

After all, Weibo is a place for gossip and chasing stars, and it is a place that follows emotions. Who would go on Weibo every day to read all kinds of science-related things?
Although there are more and more people who like to brag on Donghu, if you really want to learn more professional knowledge, Donghu is still more reliable than Weibo. After all, there are still some very powerful big Vs who can hold the scene, but the answers they write are really incomprehensible to non-professionals. "

"By the way, if you see some unfriendly comments, don't get angry. Public social platforms are like this, there are all kinds of people! Weibo provides the function of blacklisting accounts and the permission to delete comments."

Willow soon added.

"Hey, aren't these anti-fans you're talking about? Don't worry, my mental endurance is terrifyingly strong!"

After replying to this message, Qiao Yu returned to Weibo.

It can only be said that the traffic provided by the newcomer is indeed quite high. Not only have there been several thousand new fans, but there have also been more than 100 comments. Of course, the high probability of comments is because there are already many complaints about this Weibo post by Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but click on the comment section and read a few comments. No wonder Xu Shu had to give him a shot of prevention. Sure enough, many people had already started to scold him.

"Heh... I've seen many people who show off, but it's rare to see someone who shows off like this. This is a vivid example of what it means to have talent but no morals!"

Some people even leaned towards the greater cause of China.

"That's why they say that China can't produce mathematicians who can win the Fields, Wolf, or Abel Prizes. He just won first place in the competition and he's already getting cocky. Do you think he can settle down and do good research in the future?"

"My thought is, I can't compare with XXX, he is so humble! If you ask me, this Qiao Yu's future will be just like this."

……

Qiao Yu did not mind this, and was even ecstatic. He even liked the comment that said he was talented but had no morals.

He liked this kind of evaluation. After all, he couldn't find such a rich and tricky angle to criticize himself, but these omnipotent netizens on the Internet did it. Qiao Yu even hoped that the voices of these black fans on the Internet would be louder.

As I said, as long as the character design is low enough, there is no possibility of collapse; as long as he has no morals, no one can morally blackmail him in the future.

Once humans form groups, their favorite thing to do is to criticize good people, and even treat good people as saints, not allowing them to have any flaws.

They are even keen on looking for faults in the lives of good people through a microscope. Once they find the slightest stain, a bunch of people will swarm around like crows and proudly declare that this person is nothing special.

But their expectations for villains are really low. As long as what they do is not too excessive, people will be tolerant and give them judgment - he is much better than before!

They even invented the saying "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha instantly."

So Qiao Yu was very satisfied with being called immoral.

I just don’t know if Yu Wei is among those who gave him bad reviews.

If so...it would be really rewarding and enjoyable!
Unfortunately, he didn't know whether Yu Wei had a Weibo account. If he wanted to ask, it would seem too much.

Of course, the most important thing is that he can slap the faces of these haters through success again and again in the future. So he also specially saved screenshots of these comments.

You can choose the right opportunity to release it later, and then @ these haters, and say "I'm sorry to disappoint you again. I accidentally won a world prize. I can't spend all the prize money!"

It’s exciting just thinking about it. In short, these abusive comments are just post-process fun for Qiao Yu.

The only pity is that his current status is indeed too small. There are no well-known big Vs leaving bad reviews in the comment section of his Weibo. No, there are no small Vs at all. They are all small Karamis who are not even Vs. This is a pity.

As for those comments such as "Wow! What a big shot!", "People who failed the math college entrance examination shed tears of frustration," etc., after Qiao Yu glanced through them, he only felt physically and mentally happy. This part belongs to immediate positive feedback.

While feeling happy in his heart, Qiao Yu suddenly felt that it was indeed the reason why he did not get full marks in morality and rule of law. It seemed that he really did not have any noble sentiments...

Finally, when he saw that his fans had reached 50,000, Qiao Yu closed his Weibo account with a refreshed mind. He knew exactly what he should do now.

Although he firmly believed that there were a lot of wealth codes hidden in mathematics, it was a code after all, and he first needed to have the means to decrypt it before he could withdraw the money.

Obviously, he is not yet qualified to withdraw large amounts of wealth directly from mathematics.

After receiving the hundreds of thousands of yuan in prize money from the school, Qiao Yu felt that it was just a small thing. Really, even if he entered all the competitions around the world from now on, that little bit of prize money would not be able to support his ambitions.

The Railway New Village has thirty-seven five-story houses, each with three units, and each unit has ten households, accommodating a total of more than a thousand households.

Including the internal roads of the community and the ancient green facilities, the total area is approximately 60,000 square meters.

If one wants to build a high-end residential community on the spot, one must first buy the land and then collect the houses from other people as compensation. Not to mention that Qiao Yu also plans to build the best quality residential building in the world here, the kind that cannot be faulted at all.

After all, my grandfather's statue is right at the entrance of the community. If there are too many unsatisfactory aspects of its quality, it will not be admired, but people will be scolded for him...

The cost of the first part can be roughly calculated, but if the quality is required to be the best and there is no problem, the price is really hard to estimate. After all, Qiao Yu does not understand construction.

In short, compared with Qiao Yu's now seemingly unrealistic wish, he was so poor that his pockets were cleaner than his face.

So when he felt he had rested enough, Qiao Yu sat down in front of the computer again and started to study those interesting numerical patterns.

At least in Qiao Yu's understanding, the so-called number theory is essentially a discipline that studies the laws of numbers. Prime numbers, factorization, congruence, and sequence are nothing more than decomposing integers into different structures and then finding the underlying laws.

Of course, if you really want to study number theory in depth, you have to learn algebra, which mainly studies symbols and operation rules. Whether it is group theory, ring theory or field theory, or modular forms and elliptic curves, they all provide basic tools and mathematical structures for studying number theory.

Moreover, Qiao Yu felt that since they all needed to study algebra, geometry was inevitably unavoidable.

Although algebra and geometry can be said to be two relatively independent and important branches of mathematics, algebraic structures are closely related to geometry. Some abstract concepts in algebra are too difficult to understand without combining them with geometry.

For example, group elements in group theory can represent geometric transformations, and geometric symmetries need to be described by groups and matrices.

In short, when Qiao Yu decided to rely on mathematical research to realize his wealth, he felt that he had entered a vicious circle - as he deepened his systematic study of mathematics, the more he learned, the less he realized he knew...

This is obviously a very painful experience, and it can even really undermine people's confidence in many cases. At this time, showing off your superiority to others can really help neutralize the subconscious depressed mentality.

Let's see...

Although I, Qiao Yu, seem a bit inferior and low-end in front of the unattainable goddess of mathematics, I am at least better than 99.99% of other people. Especially better than a certain rich second-generation, right?

With this understanding, wouldn’t confidence return?

In fact, studying, like working, is difficult to make people feel happy. If you can't get enough positive feedback from such activities, it will be difficult for people to persist.

Just like if the salary is 3,000 a month, no one is willing to work overtime; but if it is 30,000 a month, limited overtime is acceptable. Salary is the most obvious and directly quantifiable positive and negative feedback channel of work.

At least your salary has the chance to increase as you gain experience.

But it is hard to say about mathematics. All I can say is that interest is often temporary, but frustration is permanent, and may even last a mathematician's entire life. Even a mathematician as brilliant as Fermat had to resort to humor to ease the embarrassment of not being able to solve a problem he had proposed.

This is probably one of the reasons why the academic community has set up various awards. As long as you make achievements, you will be recognized. This will encourage mathematicians to grit their teeth and persevere. Maybe hope lies ahead?

Qiao Yu felt the same way. After gaining enough energy from all the envy, jealousy and hatred on Weibo, he felt much more relaxed when watching those obscure ζ function videos. His brain even started to itch...

He must be starting to grow brains again!
……

He studies until ten o'clock in the evening and goes to bed on time. The next day, Sunday, he can rest at home for a day. Qiao Yu still maintains the rhythm of studying in the morning and evening, and doing exercises in the afternoon.

There was just a small incident in the afternoon.

The group of friends that had been quite quiet suddenly became noisy again.

Naturally, Yu Yongjun, who had been quiet for a whole day, started to cause trouble again. However, Qiao Yu was also to blame this time, because Yu Yongjun directly took a screenshot of the content posted by Qiao Yu on Weibo, sent it to the group, and then started @蝉不知雪.

"Yu Wei, stop pretending to be dead. Come out quickly and see what my boss is questioning you. Do you have anything you want to say to my big brother? I'll give you a chance to speak out loudly!"

When Qiao Yu saw the familiar Weibo interface, he decided to take back one star from the five-star bad review he had given Yu Yongjun.

Speaking of which, it's pretty cool to have such a simple-minded little brother.

He made something he wanted to do but was embarrassed to do so grandly.

So even though he noticed the movement in the group, Qiao Yu did not say anything and decided to peek at the screen first.

Sure enough, Yu Wei was really blown out after a while, but he still only sent two words: "Retarded!"

"Fuck, Yu Wei, you are so rebellious that you dare to call my boss a retard? @Yu Shulinfeng, Boss, I'm not the one who's causing trouble, but this guy Xiao Weizi actually dared to call you a retard!"

Huh… She actually @ed him. Qiao Yu was too lazy to peek at the screen and replied, “Huh? Yu Yongjun, are you still using Weibo?”

"Haha, Boss, I don't use Weibo, but I have a classmate who does. She saw your Weibo and sent me a screenshot. She also asked me who was the third CMO this time. Guess what? I happened to have a photo of Yu Wei eating on my phone, so I sent it to my classmate!"

"Are you two sick?" It can be seen that Yu Wei has lost his patience again.

"Don't be angry, Xiao Weizi. The one who asked me for your photo was a female classmate, very pretty. You know our Shuangqing, there are many beautiful women. She also praised you for being a little handsome, just not as good as my eldest brother! Oh, by the way, I even said something good for you! Tell her that except for your low IQ, you are good in every way! Wait a minute, I have her photo too, I'll send it to you."

Then this guy really posted a photo of a beautiful girl, taken in a classroom. In the photo, the girl probably just realized that she was secretly photographed and was about to hide her smile. Although she was not wearing any makeup, her facial features were delicate, her eyes were bright, her teeth were white, and her smile was bright. What was important was her authenticity...

But it was clear that Yu Wei was not bewitched by the pretty girl and still grasped the point: "Low IQ? So you mean the third place has a lower IQ than the 21st place?"

Yu Yongjun quickly replied, "No, I mean your IQ is lower than the boss's. Uh? Are you comparing it to me? No, you forgot that you called me a retard before... So do you think it's an honor to have a slightly higher IQ than a retard?"

Obviously, Yu Wei is really bad at laning, or he just can't bring himself to do it. After all, his opponent dares to call himself a mentally retarded person. Just in terms of the lower limit, he has already lost, and completely.

The only thing that Qiao Yu couldn't understand was that Yu Wei often suffered setbacks in this group, but he could hold back and never quit the group. His perseverance was truly powerful.

But Yu Wei stopped talking at this time, so he could fill in the gap.

"Huh? I actually have female fans? This is too fast. It turns out that beautiful girls have sharp eyes."

"Ah? Boss, do you like her? Do you want me to send her WeChat to you? Her name is Shen Linlin, she was the most beautiful girl in my class."

For a moment, Qiao Yu shamelessly wanted to say, "Please push the WeChat name tag over here." However, before he could move his hand, the image of Xia Keke staring at him with a resentful face suddenly popped up in his mind, and he suddenly felt bored.

So I casually replied: "I was just praising her for her good taste. I have a girlfriend, and she's a school beauty."

After replying this sentence, Qiao Yu planned to quit WeChat and start doing some questions.

Who knew that Yu Wei, who had been missing just now, would show up again.

This time he also posted a portrait photo. The girl in the photo had the beauty of a princess in a fairy tale.

Then he said coldly: "She is pursuing me."

The little boy's inexplicable desire to win confused Qiao Yu.

"Ahem, some people please pay attention. This is a yellow card warning. We are a study group to discuss math problems! This is not a dating group, let alone a couple group! So, are you studying hard? You chase me and I chase you all day long, no wonder you can't get full marks."

"Heh... I'm sorry, it seemed like you were the one who said you had a girlfriend first!" Yu Wei retorted.

"Can the story between her and me be the same as your children's game of playing house where you chase me and I chase you?" Qiao Yu retorted disdainfully.

"Haha...what's different about premature love?" Yu Wei asked a soul-searching question.

Qiao Yu felt that this was unbearable, so he had to start making up a story.

After all, men's damn desire to win determines that they must never be defeated by imaginary opponents under any circumstances!
"Tsk, do you know why I deliberately failed the high school entrance exam in the second year of junior high school, just to avoid going to the best high school in Star City? It was because I knew that early love would delay study, so I deliberately got a low score so that we could be together in the best university in China.

This way, when she is admitted to the best high school in Xingcheng, she can study without distraction! In order not to delay her studies, I chose to participate in the math competition in Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, an ordinary middle school that you have never heard of.

I'm serious about rejecting premature love so as not to delay the fate of my soulmate! Oh, forget it, a guy like you who is immersed in your own feelings will never understand my noble spirit of sacrifice and noble sentiments! "

Obviously, a fake story at first glance would not impress Yu Wei.

"Hehe, is it possible that someone's math score is OK, but other subjects are terrible, so he can't even get into a regular high school in the high school entrance exam?"

The debate finally entered the situation that Qiao Yu was best at. Qiao Yu stopped talking nonsense. He still kept the screenshot of checking the scores on the official account on his phone and sent it directly to the group.

"So you are questioning whether a top student who got full marks in six cultural subjects and only scored nine points in biology and geography is qualified to go to the best high school in this city? Yu Wei, I just want to ask you timidly, did you also get full marks in Chinese and English in the high school entrance examination?

Aren't you the best at finding out scores? Why don't you come to Xingcheng and ask around? When the high school entrance exam was over, did the principal of the top high school in Xingcheng beg me to study at their school? But in order not to leave her with any unrealistic hopes, I resolutely chose Tieyi High School, understand? ! "

As soon as this sentence was typed, the enthusiastic little fat boy who had been silent all this time suddenly jumped out again after talking about the topic of youth and love.

"Fuck, brother, it's ok that you have good grades, but you can't be a love saint! How can we play with you if you do this?"

Qiao Yu ignored the fat man and waited for a few more minutes with a fighting spirit. As a result, Yu Wei remained silent again.

So Qiao Yu was finally able to turn off his phone with satisfaction and return to doing his homework.

The creation of this group was a stroke of genius. Whenever he felt tired and exhausted, he could refuel here and regain his motivation. In a sense, Yu Wei was simply his refueling station when he first started learning mathematics.

Of course, at this time, Qiao Yu certainly didn't expect that many of the false histories in history actually came from this!
The person involved was just bragging when he was young, but who would have thought that after he became famous in the future, those boasts would be recorded by someone?
It was as if Qiao Yu had never thought of establishing any lofty personality for himself, he just simply wanted to pretend to be cool in front of Yu Wei.

But unfortunately there are only three people in the group!

Nothing is permanent...

Hey……

……

There is really nothing much to say about daily independent study life.

After returning from winter camp, Qiao Yu resumed his regular daily life.

I go to bed at 10 o'clock every night and get up at 6:30 in the morning, wash up, have breakfast, and punch in to school with the first-year junior high school students before 7:20.

Although Principal Zhang had said hello, it was okay for Qiao Yu to come late, as he would not disturb the normal teaching activities of the school anyway.

However, Qiao Yu felt that there was no need to show off his privileges in such a small matter that would cause criticism. It was not like he couldn't get up in the morning anyway.

Compared to those serious high school students, the evening self-study get out of class ends at 10:30 every day. If you don’t finish your homework, you have to go home to make up for it. You have to go to school at 7 o’clock in the morning, and the morning reading officially starts at 7:10...

His sleep time was no longer just enough, but more than enough.

If you sleep well, your mental state will be good and your efficiency will naturally be higher. At least you can gain new things every day.

Naturally, I also didn't lose contact with Lao Xue.

After finding a suitable opportunity, Qiao Yu told Lao Xue that he had decided to go to Yanbei University and had already chosen his supervisor. Qiao Yu could tell from the phone that Lao Xue was very pleased.

When the winter vacation was approaching, Lao Xue also brought him good news.

His paper has passed the review of the reviewers.

The journal editor found a total of four reviewers for him, three of whom gave him high praise and advised that his paper could be published directly.

Another reviewer's evaluation was actually positive, but he raised a few questions.

After Qiao Yu gave the answer, he also chose to pass.

So now the paper is ready for scheduling.

In fact, generally speaking, the more reviewers a journal editor finds, the more likely it is that he or she is not so confident about the manuscript, or the manuscript is too innovative for the editor to grasp.

Qiao Yu is probably not in either of the two situations. The main reason is that he is a pure newcomer in the academic world, the kind whose graduation thesis cannot even be found. It is normal for editors to be more cautious.

But the result is good, it's just that it took a little longer.

It was not a very long paper, but it was reviewed from National Day to after New Year's Day, and it was not finished until the winter vacation was about to start. This efficiency is indeed not high.

However, Lao Xue's words made Qiao Yu realize that this was probably the norm.

"...Actually, the review of your paper is not that slow. You should know that most reviewers work for journal editors on a voluntary basis, and some professors have some quirks. Once they accept a review task, they will put it aside even if they have nothing else to do.

It's not because of any conflict with the contributor, or intentionally making things difficult for him. I simply think that if the review is fast, it will seem that he has no projects on hand and is too idle. In short, you may encounter any strange things in the review process in the future, so just keep a calm mind.

Of course, there is one exception. For example, if you write a paper that drives mathematicians all over the world crazy, then probably no one will neglect your paper, and even the journal editor will actively ask you to submit your latest paper to them.

It's just that great mathematicians who can reach this level are as rare as national treasures. No, it should be said that they are rarer than China's giant pandas. You may not know that a great British mathematician claimed to have solved the Riemann hypothesis in his later years, and God knows how many mathematicians were driven crazy.

The final result was that he played a not-so-funny joke on everyone before his death. He died a few months after announcing the news. Really, if he had not published his proof process at the time, it would probably have become another century-long mystery like Fermat’s.

……

Anyway, when Lao Xue called him that day and informed him that his paper had been approved and the journal had started scheduling it, Qiao Yu felt a little strange.

I always felt that Lao Xue seemed a little too excited and said a lot of nonsense to him.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu felt that this actually fits his stereotype of Lao Xue. Although he looks like a very aloof professor, once you start chatting, he actually talks a lot and is very bold, telling you everything.

In short, in his calm yet exciting life, Qiao Yu ushered in his first long vacation in high school, which was also his last long vacation in high school - the 2024 winter vacation!

Although his student status would still be retained at Tieyi Middle School for one semester, Yanbei University had already informed the school through official channels that Qiao Yu would be going to Beijing starting from the next semester. Soon this became known news to the entire school.

After all, this matter has its own particularity.

It is very common to see top students being admitted to prestigious universities on the Internet. Even students in the first year of high school are guaranteed to be admitted to Huaqing University and Yanbei University. Although there is no such person around us, we have always heard that someone's child has had this honor.

But Qiao Yu's situation this time is different from that of other recommended students.

After all, universities usually accept recommended students in the new semester in September, and I have never heard of anyone going to Yanbei University to enroll in the spring semester. This shows that Yanbei University is really eager to recruit talents, as if they are afraid that Qiao Yu will be snatched away if they are late for a semester.

However, for Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, this is undoubtedly excellent news, and it is also an affirmation of the school's insistence on quality education. It is something that is definitely worth writing about, so the school published a colorful article specifically for this matter, and posted it on the school's official account and education APP.

In fact, the general idea is just one: tell all students about Qiao Yu's deeds, and then call on all students in the school to learn from Qiao Yu.

As we all know, the first people to read such articles pushed by schools are never the students, but their parents.

It just so happens that many families in Railway New Village have children attending junior high school at Railway No. 1 Middle School.

So the name Qiao Yu quickly spread in Tieyi Middle School. Even the parents who were not sensitive to such things had heard of this name. Then Qiao Yu naturally became the "other people's child" in the eyes of parents in Railway New Village and even in many communities within five kilometers.

This is naturally something to celebrate.

But not everyone is happy, like Xia Keke.

She was probably the person who believed most that Qiao Yu would definitely go to Huaqing or Yanbei, but she probably didn't expect it would happen so soon.

So this winter vacation, Xia Ke became very clingy.

The most concrete manifestation is probably the New Year’s Eve dinner.

In fact, every year on this day, as long as Lao Xia and Liu Lu were not on duty, they would take the initiative to invite Qiao Yu and her son to go upstairs to have the New Year's Eve dinner together. However, under normal circumstances, if the mother and son repeatedly refused, they would not force it.

Of course I was rejected every time.

But this year, no matter how the mother and son refused, it was useless.

Qiao Yu was dragged upstairs by Old Xia, while Qiao Xi was carried upstairs by Liu Lu and Xia Keke on both sides.

This is also the most lively New Year's Eve that the mother and son have celebrated in recent years.

She had a New Year's Eve dinner with the Xia family of three and the elders from both sides, a total of seven people. Then she was dragged to watch the Spring Festival Gala together. The party lasted until the early morning when the Xia family finished setting off firecrackers. Only then did Xia Keke say goodbye and go home in the reluctant gaze of the others.

The first day of the new year is like this again...

Starting from the second day of the Chinese New Year, the Xia family will go out to visit relatives, and the Qiao family will also have some quiet time.

The Qiao family didn't have to visit relatives as usual, and this year Qiao Xi didn't even bother to make a phone call. He just sent a blessing message to the WeChat group to complete the ritual of New Year's greetings, and he didn't even bother to check whether the other party replied to the message.

As for Qiao Yu, it was even more relaxed. The New Year was no different from any other time. After his grandfather passed away, the New Year was probably just a little inconvenient for him and Qiao Xi.

Reunion is a relative concept. Since two people are together every day, they naturally won’t appreciate the value of reunion.

However, on the third day of junior high school, Qiao Yu understood this feeling and also learned the specific manifestations of being valued by his tutor.

It was very abrupt. His mobile phone suddenly received a text message from 1230X. His identity had booked a high-speed rail ticket departing from Xingcheng at : am on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and arriving in Beijing at : pm, and it was a business class ticket.

Because it is the Chinese New Year period, not only is there no discount, but the price has even increased slightly to 2678 yuan.

The last time he and Ranjie went to Xiaolibaba's competition, they only had first-class seats.

Qiao Yu was still in a daze when the phone suddenly rang.

As soon as the call was connected, Tian Yanzhen's voice came from the receiver.

"Qiao Yu, I've booked a ticket for you on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Remember to catch the bus on time."

"Uh? Director Tian, ​​Yanbei University will start school on the eighth day of the new year?"

"School hasn't started yet, but on the tenth, the research center has invited Professor Robert Greene from New York University to give a three-day mathematics lecture. It's a rare opportunity. You can come and settle down on the eighth, get acclimated on the ninth, and attend the lecture with the professors and doctoral students of the research center on the tenth. What's the matter? You can't manage your time, right?"

"No, but if I sit in business class, wouldn't that be too high-profile? It's against the rules, right?"

"Whose rules do I have to follow when I booked your ticket at my own expense? Don't think too much. You have to ask the school to reimburse your ticket before you even leave the house. Remember to walk east after getting off the high-speed train. Someone will pick you up."

After explaining everything, Tian Yan didn't give Qiao Yu any time to continue talking nonsense and hung up the phone directly.

The aloof mentor style instantly emerged.

But I booked him a business class seat at my own expense? Well, the tutor is really rich!

Wait, his ID information... Oh, by the way, I have provided it to Xiaolibaba before, so it’s not surprising that the tutor knows it.

After a mess of thoughts ran through his mind, Qiao Yu ran out of the room and said to Qiao Xi who was watching TV in the living room: "Mom, my tutor just called me. He booked a high-speed rail ticket for me and asked me to go to school on the eighth day of the first lunar month."

"Oh? So early? Do you want me to go with you?"

"Of course not! My instructor booked me a high-speed rail ticket. Look, it's a business class ticket! Besides, my grandfather said that a man goes out to conquer the world! What's the big deal about taking my mother with me?"

"Heh...you? Conquer the capital?!"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh. My goal is not that grand for now. The first step is to conquer Yanbei University!" Qiao Yu said with great momentum.

Looking at her son's swollen face, Qiao Xi suddenly felt a little depressed.

This trip will probably take at least half a year, right? !
