Training the Heavens

Chapter 180 We must create a favorable environment for scientific research
"What happened at home?" the principal asked hurriedly.

"My mother is divorced, and my father's relatives are still here to make trouble." Huang Tunan did not add fuel to the fire. Judging from the Zhuang family's behavior, there was no need to do this. It was enough to just tell the truth.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the principal, Ping Zetao, and He Chengxuan were all furious. "How could someone be so shameless? Not only is he shameless, but he's using his own child as a shield for his own selfish reasons. This is truly unbelievable."

They are all cultured people, so they feel embarrassed to swear directly.

"Since they refuse to leave, I have to stay at home all the time. Otherwise, when my mother is at work, they will definitely bully my sister. That's what they did before!" Huang Tuanan continued to act pitiful.

The principal didn't know what to do for a moment. If it were an adult, he might persuade Huang Tunan to focus on scientific research and try to overcome the difficulties at home, but Huang Tunan was only a twelve-year-old child, and it was a bit too much to hold him to the standards of an adult.

What's more, even adults cannot ignore other people's family affairs. Doing scientific research is not like doing hard labor. If you always have things to worry about, you can't calm down. How can you do research if you can't calm down?
Fortunately, he was the principal after all and had plenty of experience in handling these matters. He quickly came up with a solution, "I'll call the city leaders and tell them the good news."

The principal went straight to the deputy mayor in charge of education and enthusiastically reported the good news. The deputy mayor was delighted. "Little Tunan has achieved results so quickly? Just how influential is this Mersenne prime?"

"It's largely due to luck, but of course it's also because of Tunan's hard work. He was able to master computer technology in such a short time. It wouldn't be so easy for others." The principal spoke modestly before beginning to explain what the leaders were most concerned about.

"Xu Chi said in his book 'Goldbach's Conjecture': 'Mathematics is the queen of natural sciences, and number theory is the crown of mathematics.' Mersenne primes are a very important problem in number theory, as influential as the Goldbach conjecture. Therefore, the new Mersenne primes discovered by Xiao Tunan this time are of great significance. Not only will the Chinese Academy of Sciences pay attention to them, but mathematicians in developed countries in Europe and the United States will also read his article."

The principal needs to interact frequently with leaders of other departments and know what they care about most.

Sure enough, the deputy mayor was immediately excited upon hearing this. "So, little Tunan's achievements are of great significance? That's a major breakthrough in Suzhou's education and scientific research! Where is Tunan now? I'll be right over."

The principal was also playing a trick at this time. "Tunan just verified this achievement in front of me in the computer room. He also said that with luck, he might make another breakthrough within six months. However, he is currently facing some problems at home and should be on his way home by now."

"Then let's go to his house. Tell me the address and I'll go there right away. He has a problem at home. Can the city help solve it?" The deputy mayor felt that this was simply a pie in the sky. Colleges and universities are relatively independent, and the Normal College has made achievements. It is not easy for the local government to share the benefits. But if he can help Huang Tuanan solve his worries, he can publicize it in the newspapers.

"We need to create a good environment for scientific research. Let's hold an on-site office meeting at Tuanan's home to solve his problems." He didn't take the problems Huang Tuanan encountered seriously. How big a trouble could a child encounter?
The most serious problems are family disputes, neighborhood conflicts, housing issues, and parents' work problems, which he can solve with just one word.

"Okay, I'll go and wait for you." The principal felt relieved. It was not convenient for him to interfere in local issues, but it would be fine if the deputy mayor stepped forward. No matter how difficult Tuanan's elders were, could they defeat the deputy mayor?

He quickly called the driver and asked him to drive the car over. After hanging up the phone, he returned to the computer room, called a few of them and left. On the way, he gave Huang Tunan some advice, asking him not to reveal his true identity in front of the deputy mayor.

"Thank you, Principal. I will remember all these words." Huang Tunan agreed honestly, feeling secretly delighted.

It was only five kilometers from the school to Huang Tunan's house, and it didn't take long to get there. Everyone got off the car at the alley entrance and walked all the way to Huang Tunan's house. Before they even entered the yard, they heard a commotion inside, with Xiaoting crying loudly beside them. When they pushed the door open, they saw Xiang Pengfei and Lin Dongzhe fighting fiercely with Zhendong and Zhenbei. Song Ying and Lin Wufeng had both gone to work, so Huang Ling couldn't handle it alone.

"Mom, what's wrong!" Huang Tunan hurried over and asked.

"Brother, they bullied me again. Brother Pengfei and Dongzhe came over to stop them, but they didn't listen and started fighting." Huang Xiaoting quickly complained to Tuanan.

Well done! Huang Tunan gave his sister a thumbs up, saying that the little girl's words were more trustworthy than his own.

The principal, Ping Zetao, and He Chengxuan all frowned when they saw this scene. With their family in such a mess, they really had no time to do research.

The principal whispered to the driver, "Ask around and find out what's going on with these two kids, and where their parents work."

The driver nodded, turned around and went out to inquire about the news.

"Kids, don't fight, don't fight." Ping Zetao and He Chengxuan hurried forward and separated the four little guys.

But at most he could stop Zhendong and Zhenbei from fighting, but it was difficult for him to stop them from talking. These two naughty kids kept cursing and swearing even after being held back, showing their excellent family education.

"Principal, Director Ping, and Teacher He, I'm really sorry to have embarrassed you. Please come in and sit down. I'll pour you some tea." Huang Ling was also extremely helpless. She couldn't control the two children, otherwise they wouldn't have fought just now.

The principal stepped forward and shook Huang Ling's hand. "Mother Tunan, you've worked so hard. Hurry and clean up the house. Mayor Yang will be coming to visit our little genius later. I brought tea, but where's the kettle? Xiao Liu, go help make some tea."

"Okay." Before Huang Ling could answer, the sharp-eyed principal's secretary Xiao Liu found the thermos, tested the water temperature and found it was not hot enough, so he hurried to the kitchen to boil water.

"How can I let you do it? Let me do it." Huang Ling had to greet the guests and boil water, so she was a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Huang Tunan and Xiang Pengfei were both very sensible. One of them went to help Xiao Liu light the fire, and the other went to pick up melon seeds and peanuts. Huang Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to send Zhendong and Zhenbei away, she heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from outside the door. "Little Tunan lives here, right?"
