102: Chapter 75: A Phone Call That Changed Perceptions (Part 4) 102: Chapter 75: A Phone Call That Changed Perceptions (Part 4) There’s nothing I can do, Xue Song had a feeling this call would take a while, and he couldn’t just leave the girl waiting in the cinema, right?
You may not like it, but you have to be respectful.
…
Qiao Yu, who was having a great ti on the forum, answered his phone imdiately upon seeing the call.
As to how to make excuses, Qiao Yu had already drafted so ideas in his mind, after all, so things have to be faced sooner or later.
Fortunately, this call wasn’t about blaming him.
“Hello, Professor Xue, how are you?”
“Mm, Qiao Yu, that Yu Jianxiaoqian is really you, right?”
“Hehe…”
Qiao Yu laughed awkwardly twice, just about to start explaining, but the person on the other end directly asked, “Have you told anyone else about the equation’s solution?”
“Uh, I only told Teacher Lan, but Teacher Lan said he didn’t quite understand it.” Qiao Yu said honestly.
“It’s normal for him not to understand.
If soone asks about it on the forum, don’t explain it yet, your solution can qualify for a paper to be submitted to a top-tier journal.”
Hearing this, Qiao Yu imdiately replied, “Teacher Lan also told this, but he said I need to first confirm the universality of my solution.”
“No need to confirm, since you can solve the nurical solution of this equation, you can definitely solve this kind of Diophantine equation in general, it’s just a matter of how much computational power it takes, I’m sure about this because it’s my question.”
“I see…” Qiao Yu marveled, it seems there really is a big difference between university professors and high school teachers.
“So don’t ntion it to anyone for now, and if any other professor calls, don’t ntion it either.”
“Really?
Would university professors really envy my little trick?” Qiao Yu said in surprise.
“Don’t think so highly of professors’ ethics either.
Let tell you sothing, two professors were drinking together, discussing a viewpoint, which they both argued quite deeply.
One professor went back and wrote an article directly publishing it.
Because of this, the other professor sued him for several years, arguing over who was the original creator of the idea.
A viewpoint that hasn’t been widely demonstrated can still be contested like this, do you think there won’t be people envious of a paper like yours that can directly yield results?”
Xue Song’s response left Qiao Yu utterly amazed.
In the mouth of the good guy, professors all seem to be good people, but listening to Professor Xue, is it not really the case?
But speaking of it, Xue Song’s answer seems to align more with his understanding of people, so he imdiately responded seriously, “I understand.”
“Mm, as long as you understand.
This can be discussed later.
I called for another very important question, what plans do you have for the future?” The other end asked directly, catching Qiao Yu off guard.
He could only respond honestly, “Actually, I haven’t really thought it through yet.”
“Alright, then let ask more specifically, do you plan to go abroad?”
This ti Qiao Yu answered very firmly, “No, I want to stay in the country to take care of my mom.”
“Then your future is choosing between Huaqing and Yanbei, which do you plan to go to?”
Qiao Yu hesitated for a while, then asked, “Uh…
I’m still unsure about that, um, do you think I can negotiate so terms with them?
Like scholarships or sothing?”
“Who told you that you have the capital to negotiate terms with the university?”
Qiao Yu was a bit confused and asked back, “Can’t I?”
“I can tell you clearly, if all you have is a Little Alibaba mathematics competition gold dal, that’s really not enough.”
Qiao Yu asked further, “What if I can get an IMO gold dal too?”
“After we hang up, go check the 2005 Huaxia team mbers and results for the IMO.
If I’m not mistaken, there should be a Zhang Bin, who was one of the only two perfect-score gold dalists of the Huaxia Team that year.
At that ti, he told both Huaqing and Yanbei University did contact him, but they rely lightly asked whether he had any intention to go there.
After he said he would think about it, there was no follow-up, they didn’t even contact him a second ti.
Understand?
Don’t be deceived by those ssy news reports out there, they’re just to excite parents.
At least in Huaxia, so-called top scorers in college entrance exams are actually no different than cabbages in the fields to Huaqing and Yanbei.
If a top scorer goes to another school, then indeed they might be looked up to.
The reality is that those precious straight-A students in the eyes of high school teachers are just ordinary trash in the eyes of top university professors in Huaxia, got it?”
