"The paper you published in 'Science' before caused quite a stir. Fortunately, it caught the attention of several academicians from the Physics and Engineering Academies, and the research institutes in the Capital were also verifying the paper. Everyone worked together to cool down the public excitent.
At that ti, I thought it was a good thing, but who would've thought, with the launch of Youwei's new machine, it's all co back up. The following period is definitely not going to be very quiet. Recently, I have received several calls inquiring about you. From the Science Academy, Huaqing, Yanbei..."
Li Jiangao was recounting the events he'd experienced recently to Qiao Ze.
As he had expected.
Not a single prominent unit in the Huaxia academic community seed to shake the young man.
But that was normal.
After all, not long ago, Qiao Ze had a face-to-face conversation with the academic bigwigs. And the first ti he ca into contact with an academician, he directly started negotiating terms...
His poise and capability...
"Oh, right, do you rember Zhang Chunlei, Professor Zhang from Jiang University?" Li suddenly asked.
Qiao Ze nodded and replied, "I rember, the verbose Yangtze River Scholar."
Qiao Ze was no longer the naïve youth who knew nothing about the Huaxia scientific research system.
He had co to understand just how prestigious the Yangtze River Scholars in the field of natural sciences were.
It was just that his initial impression was too strong.
Indeed, during the short two days of contact with Qiao Ze, Zhang Chunlei talked quite a bit.
"That's not a fair judgnt. When does Professor Zhang ever talk too much?" Li frowned slightly, reproaching Qiao Ze.
"Oh." Qiao Ze nodded expressionlessly.
Seeing that Qiao Ze seed to take his words to heart, Li continued, "Yesterday, Professor Zhang called for an hour..."
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Sothing felt off...
Following his initial train of thought in talking to Qiao Ze, he seed to accidentally confirm Qiao Ze's earlier assessnt.
After all, it is quite hard for soone who doesn't talk much to spend an hour on the phone.
Li Jiangao looked at Qiao Ze, who was looking back at him respectfully, both n wordlessly facing each other.
After a mont of silence, Li said, "Okay, sotis Professor Zhang does indeed talk a bit too much, especially when it cos to you... haha..."
He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
Qiao Ze pulled a courteous smile.
This was treatnt not everyone received.
Including Chen Yiwen, even if soone told a joke, if Qiao didn't get the punchline, he would just watch them expressionlessly until the other person stopped laughing awkwardly.
"Ah... all right then, the talkative scholar from Jiangcheng is very interested in your research. He asked if you were busy lately and wanted to collaborate on a project with you, but I declined on your behalf. After all, that's not where your aspirations lie. However, I did share so of your thoughts with him.
Old Zhang's idea was that I should stop holding you back and let you produce more results soon. It's not bad to beco known at a young age; the sooner the academic community takes notice, the better for your future."
"Oh?" Qiao Ze looked at Li Jiangao.
"Like how you put watermarks in your paper before, which sparked a lot of interest. That's a good start. In the future, more specialized papers, such as the project you're currently researching, will naturally draw attention once you have results. Scholars from abroad researching in the sa field might get in touch. I believe you must have received so letters.
You might want to pay attention to that; many of the topics being researched at so of the world's top physics institutes overlap. If they notice your papers and they can help your project, you can discuss further by email. On one hand, academic communication can be enlightening. On the other hand, these top research institutes have more advanced equipnt.
While they usually wouldn't readily share data, it's not unheard of to provide data as evidence during academic discussions. Of course, you might also receive invitations from foreign universities or research institutes. My advice isIn the next few years, it's best not to go abroad. So, just publish those papers, all under the nas agreed upon before."
Qiao Ze nodded.
He of course understood Li Jiangao's aning.
In summary, he was being encouraged to maintain academic exchanges with abroad, to keep up connections and not to work in isolation. At the sa ti, knowing that Qiao wasn't ready to go abroad in the current situation, Li presented this compromise.
Li Jiangao's ideas weren't easily influenced.
Besides lacking experience in ntoring students like Qiao, it was also because the two had not spent a long ti together.
Even for regular graduate students, the first three to four months with a ntor are about mutual understanding.
It hadn't even been four months since Li Jiangao first saw Qiao Ze in Xingcheng.
During these few months, he had misjudged Qiao Ze's capabilities nurous tis.
"Oh, one more thing. The reason why the Optoelectronics Institute decided to relocate their entire project departnt here is also because a group of experts from the Capital will be coming for a review later on. It'll be convenient for you to participate. I guess they're thinking that if they ask you to travel across most of Xilin, you could refuse and they couldn't say much.
But if the review eting is in the sa building, it's harder for you to turn down an invitation as the paper's author."
"You're at least a celebrity in the Huaxia academic community now. When a high-profile expert group cos, they'll likely invite you to the reception. Just go if you're called, but don't feel compelled to. Your personality is set, and you don't need to ask favors from anyone now. Everyone can understand that, and after a few dinner events, they probably won't call you anymore."
