Chapter 119 The Principal Arrives in Person, He's a God!

"How long do you think it will take this junior to figure out the problem?" The short-haired senior nudged Tan Yaowen next to her and whispered.

"The earliest it should be is tomorrow morning. You know, it took us a full three hours with so many people," Tam Yiu-man said.

The short-haired senior looked at the junior sitting next to her, quickly flipping through documents, and smiled:

"I think he might finish even earlier, before he gets off work in the afternoon."

Tam Yiu-man shook his head, neither confirming nor denying.

The others didn't pay much attention to Jiang Xun, clearly sharing Tan Yaowen's opinion that he probably wouldn't be able to complete the task today.

Not long after, Jiang Xun, who was rapidly entering files, suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on a particular passage—

'Kafka partition rebalancing causes stream processing latency...'

He pondered for a moment, then got up and walked to the whiteboard to write:
#Current Plan
consumer.subscribe(topics, rebalance_listener=MyListener())#
When he finished writing, he realized that almost everyone in the hall was staring at him, their faces showing varying degrees of astonishment.

"The problem is this: during Kafka rebalancing, the Consumer pauses for 1-3 seconds, causing a backlog of batch data."

The boy's voice, gentle yet with a hint of resounding strength, instantly silenced the hall.

At this point, he continued:

"To solve this problem, we can use consistent hashing algorithm instead of traditional snooping."

After saying that, he wrote a long string of code on the whiteboard, which was a feasible solution to the problem.

Everyone in the hall stared blankly at the contents of the whiteboard for a good ten seconds before someone looked down at their watch.

27 minutes!

From the moment Jiang Xun picked up the document to identifying the problem and even providing a solution, it took less than half an hour!

Tam Yiu-man and the short-haired senior next to him exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of disbelief in each other's eyes.

Are all freshmen this weird these days?!
……

The Mathematics Building, Professor Chen Gang's office.

He carefully read through a paper on the computer, then took off his glasses, looked at Professor Gao Wen beside him, and asked in a deep voice:

Are you sure this is a first-year undergraduate thesis, and not a first-year graduate or doctoral student's thesis?

It was easy to tell from his eyes that he didn't quite believe that a freshman could write such a paper.

Upon hearing this question, Gao Wen already knew the value and quality of this paper.

He glanced at it himself, and although he wasn't a math major, he knew that this paper was definitely not as simple as he had initially thought.

Perhaps he completely underestimated the true level of that little guy named Jiang Xun.

When he came out of the mathematics building, he immediately called Yan Jin.

"Hey, Teacher Yan, where did you find this little guy? He's pretty amazing."

"That kid got me a computer science book as soon as he arrived. The content is very concise, practically textbook-level. I plan to use it directly as a textbook for graduate students."

"That's not all. He's even more amazing in mathematics. He wrote a paper that directly proved a number theory conjecture that had not yet been solved in the international number theory community. Just now, that guy Chen Gang even wanted to go to Yuanpei College to poach him."

"Haha, I've really struck gold this time. I have to thank you, Teacher Yan."

Professor Gao Wen was clearly in a good mood. He was usually serious and stern, but he still had a smile on his face after finishing the call.

On the other side, Yan Jin, who had just hung up Gao Wen's call, was stunned for a moment, and the image of that tall and handsome figure appeared in her mind.

She had only meant it by chance, but the freshman gave her an unexpected response.

Having taught himself all the undergraduate and even graduate-level courses in computer science and advanced mathematics while still a freshman, such a student is rare even in the entire history of Peking University.

Moreover, the fact that he published a monograph and a paper that is highly likely to be indexed by SCI right away is quite an impressive feat.

Perhaps this little guy will bring her more surprises in the future, and Yan Jin couldn't help but feel a little excited.

……

On the fifth day of Jiang Xun's leave from military training, the matter still sparked heated discussions on the forum.

Others didn't know what he was doing on leave, they only knew that he even asked for leave for something that college students must go through, such as military training, which was an extremely disregard for school rules.

Given his previous negative reputation at school, even a passerby felt that he had gone too far.

In short, all sorts of defamatory remarks about him emerged on the forum, even escalating to the level of his character.

However, he has been involved in project research in the comprehensive research building these past few days and has no time to deal with these things. Even if he had time, he would be too lazy to bother with them.

A few days later, the project came to an end, and Jiang Xun's task was also completed. His performance over the past few days had earned high praise from Tan Yaowen and others, who were reluctant to let him go. Many people added his contact information, saying they wanted to keep in touch.

The freshmen military training has now ended, and Yuanpei College will officially begin classes on September 16th. During this period, a welcome party will be held.

Jiang Xun wasn't very interested in any of that. He continued to collect all sorts of books every day, improving his professional knowledge and increasing his various attributes.

Now that he has two expert-level skills, his charm value has reached 89 points, his spirit value has reached 88 points, and only his stamina value is still at 84.

Jiang Xun originally didn't plan to go to the welcome party because he knew that once he showed up, he would become the focus of attention for many people, and he really disliked the feeling of being pointed at and talked about behind his back.

However, after Song Ziyan's repeated invitations, he had no choice but to go.

As he expected, when he arrived at the venue, many people's eyes were unconsciously focused on him, with strange looks and some whispers.

Jiang Xun ignored her and went straight to Song Ziyan's seat, plopping down next to her.

Song Ziyan looked beautiful today, with her long hair styled in big waves and wearing a pure white tank top that revealed a lot of her snow-white skin.

Her delicate features were like jade carvings, her swan-like neck was white and tender, and her beautiful collarbone and the faintly visible snow-white skin on her chest complemented each other, exuding a strong allure under the flickering lights.

"Say it, why did you have to call me here?" Jiang Xun politely glanced at the beautiful counselor, then pretended to be annoyed.

Song Ziyan turned to look at him, and her eyes lit up immediately.

Although he was dressed casually in a hooded sweatshirt, his angular face and excellent features, combined with his seemingly even more outstanding aura, made him appear to glow even in the dim light.

Seeing his expression, Song Ziyan couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth and saying softly:
"I wonder who was saying that day that 'a fool makes a fool of himself'? What, has our Jiang Shen become a fool now?"

"Who says otherwise?" Jiang Xun shook his head and sighed. He didn't really care about other people's opinions, but being pointed at and talked about to his face would still make him feel uncomfortable.

Song Ziyan reached out and patted his shoulder, chuckling softly, "It's okay, your senior will always be there for you."

Jiang Xun gave her a strange look, then said seriously, "No, I'll support you from behind. That's what I'm good at."

Song Ziyan didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it for a moment, she understood and immediately punched Jiang Xun with a red face.

"You filthy scoundrel, you pervert," Song Ziyan muttered under her breath, feeling her cheeks burning.

The gala had already begun, and the host took the stage to introduce the leaders attending the gala, followed by an invitation for them to come up on stage and give a speech.

To Jiang Xun's surprise, this small welcome party had actually invited several big shots.

This includes Zhang Jing, Vice President of Peking University; Qin Siyuan, Dean of Yuanpei College; and Professor Gao Wen, Vice Dean of the School of Information Technology.

After Vice Principal Zhang Jing took the stage and said a few polite words, he suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Our freshmen this year, especially those from Yuanpei College, are outstanding, with Jiang Xun being particularly exceptional."

Principal Zhang Jing looked down at the audience, seemingly searching for Jiang Xun.

At this moment, an uncontrollable gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.

The fact that the vice principal himself was present was surprising enough, but for him to publicly praise a freshman by name was truly baffling.

Most importantly, he was praising Jiang Xun, who has been embroiled in controversy recently.

At this point, Principal Zhang Jing continued:

"Although Jiang Xun is only a freshman, as far as I know, he has already completed undergraduate and graduate-level knowledge, including computer science and mathematics, through self-study."

"A computer science monograph written by Jiang Xun has been published by Peking University Press and will soon be distributed to graduate students in the School of Computer Science for their study."

"This book is called 'Recommendation System Theory,' and it can now be searched and read in online libraries. It was a monograph that Jiang Xun provided to our school free of charge, a gift without mentioning any compensation."

"However, we certainly won't let down any student who is focused on academic creation and willing to dedicate themselves, so we specially applied for a special grant and a national scholarship for him."

"In addition, during the recent military training, he was invited to participate in a computer research project led by Professor Gao Wen, where he also made outstanding contributions."

"This is exactly the kind of student we need, the kind of student this era needs. I hope everyone will take him as a role model, study hard, dare to climb higher, and make more contributions to our country."

At this point, an eerie silence fell over the audience. Everyone instinctively turned their gaze to the tall figure in the front row, their eyes filled with surprise and shock.

No one thought Principal Zhang Jing was talking nonsense, nor did they think that what he said was false, but that's precisely why everyone was so shocked.

After Principal Zhang Jing finished speaking, the students who had recorded the speech uploaded the video to the forum immediately.

Just over ten minutes earlier, someone uploaded a photo of Jiang Xun and Song Ziyan laughing and joking with their heads down, along with even more offensive slander.

After the video was uploaded, the entire forum became eerily quiet.

But it was soon completely ignited.

This time, although the protagonist is still Jiang Xun, people prefer to call him "God Jiang"!
