"Wait a minute, could you first tell how you managed to find a student like Qiao Ze?"
"Well, first you need to have so connections with the admissions staff at the school, always book a standard room for yourself when you go to conferences, then switch rooms with the admissions officers who have king-sized beds, and finally find a paper to study slowly in your room."
"Then what?"
"Wait!"
After sending the last word, Li Jian Gao decisively logged out of WeChat, which he had used for nearly ten years, then went into settings to disable his main phone number directly, and used a different data card number in his phone to apply for a new WeChat account. He selected a few people from his contacts, and sent out a ssage.
"My previous number will be temporarily unused; please use this number to contact in the future, and I kindly ask you not to disclose it to anyone else."
After all this, Li Jian Gao finally took a deep breath.
He was one lucky professor who definitely shouldn't get involved in tricking students and didn't want to deal with it at all.
His life was pretty good now; by letting himself off the hook, he could indulge in his research, experiencing the pure beauty of mathematics. During his rest, he could date and might even get married this year. These were the most important things.
As for other ssy issues, out of sight, out of mind was good enough.
...
Really, after Xu Dajiang added Li Jian Gao's new WeChat, he considered doing the sa thing himself.
But unfortunately, that wasn't possible.
No way, his status wasn't as detached as Li Jian Gao's.
Not to ntion, being in the dean's position, he couldn't afford to be capricious. Thus, since this ssage went out, his phone had almost beco a hotline.
Originally Li Jian Gao was able to help him divert so of the attention.
But with this new move, Xu Dajiang suddenly felt that he might be very annoyed in the near future.
Well, at least it's a happy kind of trouble.
Editing the WeChat ssage to Li Jian Gao, Xu Dajiang comforted himself silently.
"Li, that's not very kind of you!"
Soon, Li Jian Gao replied to Dean Xu with a polite smiley face on WeChat.
...
The next day, in the Xilin Institute of Mathematics building, Qiao Ze was sitting in front of the computer, chatting with the person on the other side.
On the computer screen was Roth Dugan's aged face.
The background captured by the cara looked like his office.
It seed that the Princeton School of Mathematics dean had gotten used to working an extra two or three hours and then making a video call.
"...Qiao, really, you should find an opportunity to go to CERN; the people there are almost going crazy. They think of you as their savior to help them get the Nobel Prize, but I think you might actually be up to it. Okay, tell the old man the truth—are you working on the Unification Theory research?"
"No."
"Even though I know you well, your two words aren't very convincing. If not, then you should tell what you've been busy with recently?"
"Ph.D. thesis."
"Ph.D. thesis? See, that's just formalism. Co to Princeton, I can get the board to grant you a doctorate directly, and let the doctoral thesis go to hell. Do you still need a paper to prove yourself? You should be on a bigger stage."
"It was my own requirent."
"Ah... well, then, may I ask about the topic of your doctoral thesis? I admit I'm quite curious."
"Mass Gap Hypothesis."
"Mmm... cough cough... That's a really good topic, no, I should say a great topic. You know, people expected Hilbert's doctoral thesis in the last century because his advisor suggested he work on so algebraic form of invariance issues. Minkowski had high praise for him. Now I think everyone is looking forward to your paper... Forgive ; old people like to ramble. But such a thesis, once completed, might require a public defense. How about you tell when to book a flight to Huaxia?"
