As for the other side, the editorial office of the "Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications" at the University of Cologne and Coran Institute had ti to silently lick their wounds.
After all, during this period, every paper Qiao Ze published as the first author was a resounding slap in the face to these two institutions.
Heaven knows how much mockery it would invite.
Especially for "Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications," if they hadn't caused so much trouble, they could have added another high-quality paper, but now they've created a crisis of trust, so many young talents in the mathematical community have started to hesitate to submit their work there.
The newly appointed editors had to make a lot more phone calls and send additional emails to appease the other reviewers.
They were totally defeated!
For a journal backed by a top-tier mathematics research institute like the Coran Institute, building a reputation was easy, but repairing a damaged one was very difficult.
The one who was probably the happiest during this cooling-off period was Xu Dajiang.
Although his plan hadn't been perfectly realized, there was a notable increase in international students actively inquiring about the School's graduate and doctoral policies this sumr.
Moreover, the School received several letters of recomndation from well-known professors abroad, as well as official communications from prestigious universities.
So were recomnding undergraduates to pursue their graduate studies, while others hoped to beco exchange students at the School of Mathematics.
This made Xu Dajiang beam with joy every day. The happiest part for him was that he could confidently slash a bunch of international student subsidies and then divert them to the School's research funding pool.
His stance was clear: take it or leave it; if you don't like it, get out!
Just as well to replace them with a higher quality batch!
It was very satisfying.
After all, the School had already exceeded its targets.
Really, this sumr, Xu's back was never straighter, and he spoke with more authority than ever.
So what if you are a prestigious discipline? Dare you, like Xu Dajiang, wield the axe and slash the treatnt of international students? Do you still want to et your targets or not?
As for Qiao Ze, his days went on as usual.
He never bothered to pay attention to the changes he brought about.
The new project had already been reported and was quickly approved, with the School exceptionally allocating five hundred thousand in research funding to the project group's account.
It might not seem like much, but for a purely theoretical research project, it was actually so abundant that many people would drool over it.
After the project group was established, Su Mucheng casually recomnded a doctoral student nad Liu Chenfeng, so the new project team welcod another doctoral mber, who started helping Tan Jingrong share the burden of searching for papers.
Qiao Ze was still preparing for the project every day in his usual research spot, so Chen Yiwen had to make trips to the library almost every day to borrow and return books. In just one week, Chen Yiwen felt as if he had reviewed all the library books related to chips.
He even beca familiar with the library staff responsible for registrations.
Mainly, because this operation was actually quite odd.
Who reads books that quickly?
Chen Yiwen's explanation was, "You don't know, you just need to look at the parts that contain effective information, and actually, you can mostly skip over the descriptive text."
These were Qiao's exact words, and Chen Yiwen thought they were brilliant, but it only earned him a disdainful roll of the eyes from the registration staff.
"Humph, roll your eyes at , just wait until Qiao starts showing off his power, that'll scare you!"
Chen Yiwen thought sneakily as he walked away with the books.
However, Chen Yiwen still had no idea what Qiao Ze was actually trying to do, and Qiao wouldn't tell him.
He just said that success wasn't guaranteed, but if it happened, Chen Yiwen would naturally find out.
It was so annoying. Otherwise, he could have had a good talk with the registration staff.
Ah... Qiao Ze was great in many ways, but sotis just too unconfident, he thought. How could the things he wants to do not succeed?
What mattered most to Chen Yiwen was that if Qiao Ze really succeeded, he would be able to boast about it all over again.
After all, he started looking at books on chips only after Qiao had talked about those things.
He, Chen Yiwen, had also beco a man who could influence big shots.
That was definitely worth bragging about for a lifeti!
