Chapter 58: How to express sincerity

Qiao Yu returned to his room and began to consider whether to go to Xiaozhou.

He had thought that someone would provide free travel expenses, food and lodging, so he could take Qiao Xi on a trip to Xiaozhou. After all, Qiao Xi had never gone out to play for so many years because she had taken care of him. Who would have thought that he would be rejected outright.

Qiao Yu was actually not sure whether not going to Xiaozhou was Qiao Xi's true intention. The mother and son were of the same type, both of them thought a lot.

For example, in order to make his beloved son feel less guilty, he took the initiative to give up the opportunity to travel for free.

Most people may not think of it, but Qiao Yu believes this is possible.

Although Qiao Xi always showed disdain towards Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu knew very well that if something really happened to him, his mother would most likely not survive alone.

It is not a judgment made out of thin air, but comes from many details in life.

When he is well, everything is fine at home. But once he has any headache or fever, the house will be in chaos.

The woman who gave birth to him would really stay by his bedside all night long. If she felt something was amiss, this woman who claimed to be socially anxious and looked very weak would call a taxi without hesitation, and then carry him downstairs to the best hospital in Star City.

Even then she had a splitting headache.

Yes, every time Qiao Yu was sick, Qiao Xi's headache symptoms would really occur at the same time. But even so, even if she was in so much pain that she banged her head against the wall behind her back, she would resist the urge to drink to relieve the pain and take good care of Qiao Yu.

Therefore, Qiao Yu developed a strong endurance when he grew up. He would not show any minor illness or pain.

The sixth grader had a fever of 39 degrees and was completely exhausted. But Qiao Yu pretended to be fine. He sneaked to the community hospital downstairs, paid the bill himself, did various tests and injections, and repeatedly told the doctor who knew him not to tell his mother.

Unfortunately, it usually doesn't go as he wishes.

That damn doctor, he would be fine if it was just a minor cold, but if he was unsure, or if the test showed a bacterial or viral infection, he would always agree to it in front of him, but would still notify Qiao Xi immediately behind his back.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu never had any serious illness and he has been able to get through all these years.

Qiao Yu was also used to the fact that everyone expressed love in different ways. Now he even understood the doctor downstairs. The rules of society worked like this. Unless he could take responsibility on his own, the doctor had to find a way to protect himself when facing a minor like him.

Just like just now, although Qiao Xi said that it was lame for him to not dare to go out at the age of fifteen, he still brought the good guy out.

A highly intelligent mother who is hard on the outside but soft on the inside and who says things insincerely is a real headache for her son.

Just when Qiao Yu was considering whether to go to Xiaozhou, the phone rang. It was the good guy calling.

The coincidence was so complete that Qiao Yu felt a sense of fate.

"Hello, Teacher Lan, hello."

"Qiao Yu, we just finished a meeting, and the focus of the meeting was to discuss your matter."

"Isn't this... an exaggeration?"

Qiao Yu didn't understand.

"It's no exaggeration. Principal Zhang is really afraid that you will be poached by other schools, so he just unified the statement. Before the application deadline, if someone asks you, just say that you are a math teacher in the school. It won't be publicized. You can understand, right?" "Ah? It doesn't matter to me whether it is publicized or not, but whether I am a student or a teacher, can't it be checked? Besides, the agreement has been signed..."

"The influence of the math competition is only concentrated in the field of mathematics, so the news won't spread that quickly. Everyone is busy at this time, and they won't go out of their way to check. As for the agreement, you also said that it is not binding, so Principal Zhang is naturally worried. So, he asked me to call you to have a good talk."

"It's okay. I'm a trustworthy person."

"So if there is a school that will not only waive all tuition fees but also give you 100,000 yuan privately if you are willing to go there, and the reward for participating in IMO is the same as that of Tieyi Middle School, will you still keep your promise?"

Qiao Yu took a deep breath. You see, the nice guy is too direct. Of course, his answer was still flawless.

"Although you are a teacher, I still want to criticize you. Normal people know that they cannot test human nature casually, at any time! But since you asked... well...

This is what I think. If there is a school that wants to recruit me and is willing to pay me, I will definitely report it to you first. After all, you are in Tieyi Middle School. As long as Tieyi Middle School is willing to pay 100,000, even if the school opposite is a famous school like Changjun or Normal University Affiliated Middle School, I will stay here resolutely. "

Qiao Yu answered confidently.

After hearing what Qiao Yu said, Lan Jie felt quite relieved. At least his reputation was more valuable than a prestigious school.

But before he could respond, Qiao Yu spoke again: "Let's not talk about this for now, Teacher Lan, the organizing committee of the Xiaolibaba Mathematics Competition just sent me an email, saying that they want to invite me and my guardian to go to Xiaozhou Xiaolibaba headquarters to participate in the finals.

But my mom said she didn't want to go to Xiaozhou, so I just rejected them and it would be okay for me to participate in the finals at home, right?"

"Hmm? Did the organizing committee contact you directly? In this case, I suggest you go and participate in the finals at the Xiaohu University headquarters. You will have the opportunity to meet many big names in the academic world, and they will be very helpful to your future development.

If you have the chance to get along with some of them and become their student, your life will be secure."

Ranjit's voice was excited.

"How much help?" Qiao Yu asked casually.

"Do you know Professor Tian Yanzhen? Oh, I don't know. You can search online later. He is a dual academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Sciences. He is currently a lecturer at Yanbei University. You can look up his other titles yourself. He is one of the members of the competition organizing committee.

Oh, by the way, don’t you like money? He was the one who took the lead in planning and building the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center. With his reputation, he raised more than 3 million yuan and built this research center in Yanbei University. Do you think if you really have the opportunity to follow such a mentor, will you lack opportunities to make money in the future?

In addition to Academician Tian, ​​there are many other big guys, all of whom are great in the academic world. Others have to desperately try to find money for scientific research, but for them, money will come to them on its own initiative! How could you not take such a good opportunity?
You definitely don't understand the things about advancement in academia. Let me tell you this: the 100,000 or 80,000 you care about is nothing in their eyes. Many people are willing to spend more than that to get these big guys to write a recommendation letter.

And I'm sure they won't invite only you to the headquarters. Why don't you fight for this opportunity and give it to someone else?"

Listening to the passionate words of the nice guy on the phone, Qiao Yu was indeed moved.

"Then I'll go there by myself?"

"How about this, if your mother doesn't have time, why don't I go with you?"

Qiao Yu was quite satisfied. It turned out that someone who was sincere in accompanying you would not even ask when you would travel.
