From a face-saving project perspective, the School of Mathematics at Xilin University of Technology put great emphasis on the visit of the three professors from Yanbei for research purposes.
Besides the warm reception on the first day, they had arranged a series of standard activities for the second day.
The Tuesday morning eting was led by the vice-dean, who personally reported on the achievents of the Westwood University of Technology Mathematics Institute over the past few years, as well as the various research efforts in the school's teaching fields.
Then, representatives of excellent teachers from various subjects took the stage to talk about the curriculum planning and setup of each departnt within the Mathematics Institute.
Of course, there was also definitely a segnt for the visiting professors from Yanbei to speak.
It was lively, and also incredibly dull.
Regarding Qiao Ze, Zhang Hongcai didn't ntion him, and naturally, Xu Dajiang wouldn't either.
The afternoon's arrangent was to attend classes.
When researching at a school, naturally the front lines of teaching classrooms are the main battlegrounds.
Xu Dajiang had arranged for a junior class on basic mathematics specializing in operator algebra. The substitute teacher was a young lecturer who had just been hired by the school last year, and his surna was Zhang as well.
Since these professors from Yanbei ca under the guise of research, Xu Dajiang had made sure that everything was properly organized.
Thus, during lunch, Zhang Hongcai finally couldn't help himself and bluntly asked, "Dean Xu, I've heard that your Jiang University Mathematics Institute recruited a pretty good student this ti, nad Qiao Ze?"
"Eh? You've heard about Qiao Ze all the way in the Capital?" Xu Dajiang put down his chopsticks with a look of surprise, shook his head, and sighed, "How should I put it, the kid is indeed a genius, but he's not worth troubling yourselves to co all the way here for, right?"
"Is that so?" Zhang Hongcai smiled, no longer bothering to hide his intentions, and directly suggested, "Why don't we arrange this afternoon's public class in Qiao Ze's current class?"
Xu Dajiang smiled and nodded affirmatively, saying easily, "Qiao Ze is currently scheduled to attend classes with the freshman foundation class. Let check the schedule, and if there is a public class for the basic mathematics class this afternoon, we can arrange it directly."
Having said that, he took out his phone and began to search.
Quite opportune.
Several lecturers and professors from the basic classes had co to him to report that Qiao Ze had only ever attended one class in Ordinary Differential Equations and hadn't been to the classroom since.
Not only Qiao Ze was often skipping classes, but it was rumored that he had also started skipping classes with Su Mucheng and Chen Yiwen.
Xu Dajiang had intended to talk to Qiao Ze about this matter, but considering it was the end of the term already, he didn't bother to say much.
Now wasn't this coincidental?
The professors at your own school can't even see Qiao Ze in the classroom, and yet you hope to?
"Ah, quite coincidentally, this afternoon happens to be Mathematical Analysis for the basic mathematics class, and it is taught by our senior mathematics professor, ntor Zhu Rongchang. Shall we arrange for this class then?"
Zhang Hongcai looked at Xu Dajiang with suspicion. He had assud that the dean of the School of Mathematics would refuse on the basis that the course arrangents were unsuitable. He had already prepared his retorts, but who would have thought that Xu Dajiang would agree so readily?
But since Xu Dajiang had been so forthcoming, Zhang Hongcai could only nod and say, "Okay, then we'll attend Professor Zhu's class."
So, a little more than an hour later, he understood why Xu Dajiang had been so straightforward.
"Dean Xu, which one is Qiao Ze?" During a lull while the lecturer, Professor Zhu, was teaching, Zhang Hongcai quietly asked.
"Let look for him..." Xu Dajiang nodded, his gaze sweeping back and forth across the classroom. After a mont, he beca livid with restrained anger and said in a hushed tone, "Hey, this is really unacceptable, it seems like he hasn't co to class? This kid, I will definitely have to criticize him severely later!"
"Oh! Is that so?" Zhang Hongcai nodded, his expression calm.
It even seed quite logical to him.
After all, if Qiao Ze was as exceptional as those professors said, attending classes was simply a waste of ti.
"Ah... How embarrassing for you to see this, Professor Zhang. Actually, our school's ethos is very strict, and under normal circumstances, the students don't skip classes," Xu Dajiang said with an embarrassed face.
"No problem, no problem. But since we have co, we really wanted to see Qiao Ze in action, so perhaps we could find an opportunity to et him tonight? Of course, Dean Xu, you can join us," Zhang Hongcai said sincerely.
To tell the truth, the attitude that Qiao Ze had exhibited yesterday had already made Zhang Hongcai less enthuastic.
But they ca all the way here with much fanfare, and not eting him in person would be unbearably disappointing. So, he decided to bring the matter into the open.
"This...Sure, but I can't guarantee I have the clout to call that kid out. He seems to be quite busy lately," Xu Dajiang equivocated.
"Heh, just do your best," Zhang Hongcai replied with a forced smile, the displeasure in his voice could be heard from three kiloters away.
This trip to Xilin had already been quite frustrating for Zhang Hongcai.
Although Qian Yuhai and Lu Changzheng hadn't said anything, Zhang Hongcai knew that they were also aggrieved.
"Haha, okay then, Professor Zhang, let's focus on the lecture. By the way, how do you find Professor Zhu's teaching? He is one of the senior professors responsible for teaching in our institute, with a wealth of pedagogical experience... I'll think of sothing tonight, and we should be able to get Qiao Ze out to et everyone for a al," Xu Dajiang said.

At the sa ti, Li Jian Gao was house-hunting with Su Mucheng.
The location chosen by Li Jian Gao was in the residential district of the university's staff and faculty housing.
The biggest advantage was its proximity to the school, a re three-minute walk.
However, these buildings in the district were old-style constructions from the 90s, with four floors above ground and a basent level for storage. The layout wasn't as livable as modern apartnts, but they were well-maintained.
Although most of the houses in the community were also rented out at the mont, the tenants were mostly students from Xilin University of Technology's main campus. Moreover, the community's security was directly managed by the university's security departnt, ensuring safety in all aspects.
