Chapter 95: A Genius Who Never Forgets His Original Intention

Regardless of whether Yu Wei was willing or not, the three of them still gathered at the same table for dinner. This probably shows that the attitude of "staying away from strangers" only works for people who care about their reputation.

Although Qiao Yu thought that he was the kind of person who cared about his reputation, there was nothing he could do because the fat man next to him was shameless enough.

The second-generation rich man couldn't refuse a heavy fat man carrying a piled-up plate. He sat down opposite him carelessly and said arrogantly, "After you left just now, my brother Qiao said that you are a respectable opponent, so he wants to beat you hard and crush your pride!"

Qiao Yu keenly observed that Yu Wei's mouth moved. Although no sound came out, just by looking at his lip shape, Qiao Yu felt that he must have said "idiot" or "problem", and the former was more likely.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as I’m not scolding him.

"Okay, forget about it. Playing is fun, making noise is fun, but how are you guys preparing? Only the top 60 can enter the national training team, so it's still difficult! You won't really capsize and not even make the top 60, right?"

Yu Wei glanced at Qiao Yu and said, "I will definitely have no problem getting into the National Group. You should still worry about Yu Yongjun."

Qiao Yu looked at Yu Yongjun, and the fat man immediately said with emotion: "Brother Qiao, I knew that you still care about me."

"I care about you to death. Mainly because I have a really cool idea that can be implemented when the second phase of training begins in March next year, but I need two people to cooperate with me. If you all fail, where can I find two more friends as outstanding as you?"

"What's the idea?" Yu Yongjun looked very interested.

"If you can make it into the national training team, we will know in March next year. Well, you guys should have dinner together first. Teacher Lan is here, I will go to have dinner with the teacher." Qiao Yu, who was sitting facing the restaurant door, saw Lan Jie's figure, said something to the two of them casually, then stood up with his plate.

Just now, Lang Jie specifically asked Qiao Yu on WeChat whether he was in the restaurant on the sixth floor. Qiao Yu was not sure whether Lang Jie had something to talk to him about, so naturally he had to go over to check.

Before Qiao Yu left, he specifically said, "You two should be more mature in the future and stop being so naive. If you enter Guoji, you will have the opportunity to be directly recommended to the elite class or something like that. If you perform well, you can go directly to the freshman year of college after your sophomore year of high school. But how can any university dare to accept you two if you are so naive?"

After saying that, without paying any attention to the two of them, especially Yu Wei's reaction, Qiao Yu walked away with the food tray in a casual manner.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Don't be so childish in the future!" The little fat man said to Yu Wei with an unhappy look on his face.

"Have some shame!" Yu Wei replied in great displeasure.

"Why should I care about my dignity? I will follow Big Brother unwaveringly from now on! I will definitely beat you!"

"go away!"

"I won't!"

Yu Wei rolled his eyes and continued to eat.

Firstly, there was no room nearby, and secondly, he knew that with the fat man's shameless nature, this guy would shamelessly follow him wherever he went. It was so annoying!

If Qiao Yu saw this scene, he would definitely feel very familiar, as these two usually quarreled in the group.

……

Qiao Yu came up to Lan Jie with a plate of food and asked, "Teacher Lan, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Lan Jie shook his head and said, "It's all right again. Just now, Team Leader Luo called me and asked about you. He originally said that he would come to see you later for something, but just now he said that he would come after the team leader meeting in the evening."

Qiao Yu asked in surprise: "Why did Team Leader Luo look for me today? Doesn't the exam start the day after tomorrow? Let me think about the arrangements for the opening ceremony tomorrow. It seems that there are no arrangements for campers to give speeches on stage, right? You can't ask me to go up and perform a show?"

Lan Jie looked at Qiao Yu and said, "Don't make blind guesses. I don't think it will be a bad thing. Let's wait and see tonight. The team leader meeting will end at 9:30, and Team Leader Luo will be here at the latest at 10 o'clock. You find a place to eat first, and I'll come over after I order the food."

……

After dinner, there was still free time. Langjie originally planned to take Qiao Yu to the legendary Ningshui Nanchi Old Street. He even looked up the route. It would take an hour to go there by subway, and then spend an hour walking around the old street. It would take about 40 minutes to take a taxi back.

But considering that Team Leader Luo specifically told them to come and see Qiao Yu after the meeting, they gave up the idea of ​​going out. After dinner, they took Qiao Yu for a stroll nearby, exercised for a while, and then returned to the hotel.

In the evening, Qiao Yu's two friends named Yu did not come to disturb him.

After all, the "anti-Qiao alliance" that had been brewing for two hours lasted less than half a day before it was disbanded. Not to mention that the instigator also owed a "huge debt". In fact, Qiao Yu didn't want to do that, but who would have thought that these two sets of genuine comics on a certain Dong were quite expensive and there was no discount.

I don't think I'm in the mood to bother him anymore. I don't know if the little fat boy is quietly licking his wounds or bragging to his classmates in the four-person room. But Qiao Yu can probably guess that Yu Wei must be quietly doing questions in the room.

There was no way. This proud guy must have secretly vowed to defeat him fairly with his own efforts and talent.

Qiao Yu could understand Yu Wei's thoughts, because he was just as proud, but he just didn't show it as obviously.

So Qiao Yu’s attitude is very simple. Since this guy has never experienced any hardship in life, let him taste the hardship of competition.

This can also be considered as doing a good deed. Allowing a guy who has had a smooth first half of his life to experience the pain and suffering of life will definitely help his growth.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yu turned his head to look at Lan Jie who was looking at his phone next to him, and said abruptly: "I think Yu Wei will definitely hate you in the future."

"Ah?" Lan Jie raised his head and asked in confusion: "Yu Wei? That Linhai player, why does he hate me?"

Qiao Yu answered seriously, "Because I plan to tell him after IMO. I was planning to give up my studies and become a professional game player. It was you who dragged me to participate in the math competition."

Ranjie rubbed his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, what about the other logic? Oh, does he think of you as a competitor that he must defeat in the math competition?"

Qiao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I suspect he will become my lifelong enemy. Oh... what a pity, I will definitely not let him get his wish."

Langjie thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. When he finds out that he can't compete with you in math, he can come home and inherit the family business. Don't worry about him!"

This is what I said...

Qiao Yu suddenly felt a little sad. This world was indeed extremely unfair. The things he was trying so hard to pursue, others were born with so much that they could not use them all. It was so infuriating!

As if sensing that Qiao Yu was in a bad mood, and thinking of this guy's attitude towards money, Ranjie quickly added: "But I don't think you need to envy him. I always have a hunch that money will be just a number to you in the future.

And I think being a first-generation rich person is much more interesting than being a second-generation rich person. The wealth accumulated from nothing is definitely more meaningful than the wealth inherited from your parents. At least you can enjoy the process of wealth accumulation. "

This sentence made Qiao Yu immediately happy: "You are right! Teacher Lan, if it is really as you said in the future, money will be just a number to me. I will give you a big house next to the school, um, in the community where I live now!"

"Ah?" Ranger was stunned.

Qiao Yu said seriously: "My biggest wish in life is to acquire the land of Railway New Village, and then build the best quality and most upscale community in the whole Star City on the original site.

I will also build a statue for my grandfather and place it at the entrance of the community. In the future, everyone can see my grandfather when they enter and leave the community. When I realize this wish, I will definitely leave you the largest house in the community."

Langjie let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll make a note of it. When your wish comes true, I will definitely come to you to ask for the house. Come on, let's start from this competition."

"Okay!" Qiao Yu nodded.

After the chat, both of them fell silent.

Qiao Yu could see that Lang Jie didn't take his words to heart at all, but he was serious.

The only question is whether he will have the ability to earn that much money in the future.

But we should always have dreams, what if they come true?

……

At nine forty-five, there was a knock on the door. Langjie got up and opened the door. It was indeed Team Leader Luo.

"Qiao Yu didn't go out, did he?"

"It's in the house."

Qiao Yu had just heard the conversation between the two and stood up when Team Leader Luo and Lang Jie walked in.

"Team Leader Luo." Qiao Yu greeted him, but he felt that the smile the team leader gave him was a little creepy. "Qiao Yu, sit down, sit down. Um, I want to ask you something. Do you know Academician Tian from Yanbei University?"

Qiao Yu shook his head blankly. He was not familiar with Yanbei University, let alone the academicians of Yanbei University. However, he quickly retrieved some information in his mind. A big man in the organizing committee of the Xiaolibaba Mathematics Competition introduced him as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor of Yanbei University. The important clue was that his surname was also Tian.

"Why did you suddenly mention Academician Tian?" Lan Jie next to him asked curiously.

"This afternoon, when Mr. Tian arrived at the school, I was handling some paperwork at the school, and that's how we bumped into each other. I chatted with him for a while, and Mr. Tian knew that I was Xingnan's team leader, so he kept asking me about Qiao Yu's situation. When the school arranged a meal, he even took me along."

"Is that so?" Lang Jie also glanced at Qiao Yu.

Being noticed by big guys is obviously a good thing.

Qiao Yu looked at Team Leader Luo, slightly absent-minded.

Well, as expected, the treatment is different, they get special treatment.

"By the way, you guys should stay in the hotel during the free time tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Tian said that he plans to come and see Qiao Yu after the opening ceremony. I still have to go and check the number of people, so I won't chat with you guys for long. Qiao Yu, keep going!"

As he spoke, Team Leader Luo actually took the initiative to pat Qiao Yu on the shoulder.

Tut tut...

Why are all these adults like this? They always like to pat his tender shoulders?

Although this force is lighter than Principal Zhang's, it still needs his consent, right?

Forget it, don’t worry about it, because Team Leader Luo has already turned around and left.

"Qiao Yu, you have been noticed by a big shot like Academician Tian? Is it because of your performance in the Xiaolibaba Mathematical Competition?" After seeing off Team Leader Luo and returning to the room, Lan Jie said excitedly.

"I don't know, maybe." Qiao Yu replied casually, and then the image of Lao Xue appeared in his mind.

To be honest, he got full marks in the Xiaolibaba Mathematics Competition, which is really impressive. But Old Xue didn't pay much attention to it, and I think Academician Tian would not take it seriously either.

After all, people with the word "academician" after their surnames are definitely much more powerful than those with just the word "professor".

This is what Lao Xue explained to him in person.

Considering that Lao Xue suggested that he must find a senior academician as a mentor if he wants to win the IMO gold medal, Qiao Yu felt that Academician Tian's special view of him was most likely related to Lao Xue.

"Anyway, this is a good thing. If Academician Tian really comes to see you tomorrow, you should behave better and don't say anything nonsense. Although it can't be seen now, if you really enter the academic world in the future, it will be very beneficial if you can have connections like Academician Tian."

Langjie gave another reminder.

Qiao Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Lan, I know what's going on. Professor Xue also told me about this."

……

Sitting on the bed, Qiao Yu opened WeChat and found Lao Xue directly.

"Professor Xue, is Academician Tian from Yanbei University the kind of senior academician who can handle things as you said?"

After waiting for a while, the other party replied with a question mark, followed by a sentence: "Why do you ask this suddenly? Did Academician Tian contact you?"

"No, I went to Ningshui to participate in the CMO. Academician Tian should be here to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow. He happened to meet our team leader and asked me about it."

After the message was sent, before Xue Song could reply, a phone call came directly from the other end.

"Hello, Mr. Xue."

"Qiao Yu, is it convenient to talk now?"

Qiao Yu glanced at Lan Jie next to him, and happened to meet the good guy's gaze, so he said generously: "It's convenient."

"It's a good thing that Academician Tian noticed you, but you shouldn't feel too much pressure. Just perform normally in the competition. I don't think Academician Tian will pay too much attention to your ability to solve problems. There are many students in Yanbei who can excel in the competition.

In addition, as a student, you should not be too influenced by some online comments. Some of the views, opinions and even disputes of the older generation have nothing to do with you, the new generation. Your goal is to do your own research in the future, do you understand? "

Qiao Yu replied: "I definitely understand this, Teacher Xue."

"Well, you are a smart student, but when you get along with others, especially when you have the opportunity to get along with people of Academician Tian's level, there is no need to act too smart. At the age of fifteen, it is best to just be yourself with a simple heart.

As for his ability to handle things, let's put it this way, at least in the Chinese mathematics community, if he is willing to handle it, there is really nothing he can't handle. If we only talk about the most influential mathematicians of Chinese nationality in the world today, he must be one of them.

Regardless of Academician Tian’s status in China, he is one of the only two Chinese mathematicians who have given a one-hour report at the International Congress of Mathematicians. You may not understand the significance of this, but let me put it this way, those who can give a one-hour report at the mathematics conference held every four years are all big names in the contemporary mathematics world.

For example, Hilbert and Noether. He also served as a judge for the Abel Prize and editor-in-chief of the Princeton Mathematical Annals.

By the way, at the beginning of the century, Perelman proved the Poincare conjecture and sent emails to 15 mathematicians around the world asking them to comment on the argumentation process of his paper. Among these mathematicians was Academician Tian.

So if you can really become the last disciple of Academician Tian, ​​as long as you don't commit crimes, even if you break the sky of Chinese mathematics, that's it. You have to believe in the foundation of Yanbei University in Chinese mathematics, especially in theoretical mathematics. "

The last time Xue Song spoke so much to him earnestly on the phone was last time.

But the effect is similar.

Qiao Yu probably figured it out. Academician Tian would definitely not notice him just because of a competition. It must be that Professor Xue was also helping him behind the scenes.

But since no one said it explicitly, Qiao Yu could only keep the help in his heart.

This help was indeed very useful to him. Qiao Yu never forgot his original intention of studying mathematics, to find the distribution pattern of prime numbers, or to find a method to quickly factorize large prime numbers and challenge various computer encryption systems around the world.

This is also the reason why Qiao Yu has always had a special liking for solving equations. After all, factorization is part of finding solutions to complex equations.

Qiao Yu didn't know if it would be considered a breakthrough in mathematics if he could really figure out the encryption system of the whole world, but he thought it would be close.

So after listening to Professor Xue's words, Qiao Yu thanked him again sincerely: "Don't worry, Professor Xue, I'll remember everything you said!"

I still feel very touched.

I also understood why Xue Song specifically called instead of talking on WeChat. Some things are indeed not suitable to be said on WeChat.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. By the way, your paper has now entered the review stage. I will notify you when there is news. I estimate that there will be no problems. Now it depends on the efficiency of the reviewer."

"Thank you, Mr. Xue."

"Well, hung up."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yu took a deep breath.

"Is it Professor Xue who recommended you to Academician Tian?" Lan Jie also sensed something and asked.

Qiao Yu nodded and explained, "Well, I guess it was Professor Xue who showed the paper I wrote to Academician Tian. It was the method I used to solve the equation. Professor Xue asked me to write a paper about it and said I would submit it to the Journal of Number Theory."

"Oh, no wonder, that makes sense." Langjie suddenly realized, and then he actually envied the young man next to him.

This journey has been so smooth.

Only half a year had passed since he discovered this kid, but he had already gone from an unknown junior high school student hanging out in Internet cafes to the hope of the future of China's mathematics community, and was even included in the vision of China's top academicians.
