217: Chapter 106 He is Really Good at…_3 217: Chapter 106 He is Really Good at…_3 He didn’t know if Qiao Yu was shaless, or if this was just how it should be.
But he always felt that if he didn’t care so much back then like this kid, his achievents now would definitely be more than this.
Maybe even if he returned to Yujiang University to teach, he could still be a part of his forr ntor’s big team, contributing his ideas remotely and participating in the writing of those big papers.
Because after really getting involved, he felt that if any of his PhD students had even a passable talent and often actively reported their learning insights and progress to him like this, he would probably also be willing to give such a student more opportunities.
After quietly waiting for more than ten minutes, Qiao Yu finally put his phone back in his pocket.
Xue Song asked, “Finished chatting?”
“Yeah, Director Tian just replied as well, telling to keep up the good work.
Plus, my grandmaster said he’s free after two this afternoon, and told to bring the books to his office to read, so if there’s anything I don’t understand, I can ask him anyti.
Hey, Mr.
Xue, do you think I’m doing too well?
I was supposed to wait until Professor Robert left before visiting my grandmaster.
But it turns out my grandmaster wants to go this afternoon,” Qiao Yu said with a bit of worry.
“Heh…
hehe…
that’s good, just go, anyway, Director Tian also allows you to often go for advice,” Xue Song said woodenly.
“Yeah, so I agreed.
Actually, I wanted to delay a few days, planning to think about that problem first, to show off so small achievents to my grandmaster.
I’m feeling a bit nervous going without preparation, after all, it’s just been one phone call…”
Xue Song glanced at Qiao Yu, and asked, “You still get nervous?
I think you should consider being a bit more reserved…
Like when calling grandmaster on-site, don’t deliberately leave out the first character.”
Qiao Yu blinked, thought for a mont, and said, “You should be it, Mr.
Xue.
That does make sense, it can bring us closer faster, right?”
Xue Song laughed in exasperation, “I’m not advising you, I’m reminding you!
By the way, did Elder Yuan specify which books to read this afternoon?”
“No, he said any book from the first batch of titles is okay.”
“Oh, then just borrow a couple of the ones you’re most interested in.” Xue Song nodded, not wanting to say more.
Reading books in Elder Yuan’s office, and being able to ask questions anyti…
Xue Song didn’t know how to evaluate this treatnt.
Isn’t this like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito?
After all, for foundational mathematics teaching books, any professor could explain them to Qiao Yu.
Of course, a master is different.
For example, when explaining a theorem, an ordinary professor might just finish the explanation, but a master can often derive many related insights.
Of course, a master-level figure surely doesn’t have so much ti to waste on just one kid.
Even if Elder Yuan’s own grandson likely wouldn’t enjoy this kind of treatnt now.
But what could he say?
Xue Song now even suspects that the heavens sent this kid Qiao Yu to him not for guidance, but for him to learn how to be a person from the kid.
Just fifteen years old, and he could already charm two top ntors round and round.
What would happen when he grows up a bit, gets more mature, and truly wields resources and abilities?
Could he then overturn the Huaxia mathematics community?
Walking silently for a while, Xue Song had a sudden whim and asked softly, “Qiao Yu, I want to ask you a question.”
“Hmm, about mathematics?” Qiao Yu responded casually.
Xue Song shook his head, saying, “Suppose years later, you’ve grown up, and your opinion can directly influence the selection of an Academician.
At that point, both your ntor and grandmaster have their favored candidates.
These two candidates both have a good relationship with you, their research directions are similar, and they’re both excellent.
If they miss that year, they might not have another chance in the future, and the problem falls into your hands.
What would you do?”
Without thinking, Qiao Yu answered, “Isn’t there only one Academician spot in the School of Mathematics per selection?
In this case, definitely push both up together!”
Xue Song was speechless, saying, “Academicians are supplented every two years, there might not be just one slot each ti, but there won’t be many slots.
Surely the Huaxia mathematicians aren’t just from your sect?
There are other factions too.”
Qiao Yu gave Xue Song a peculiar look, and answered, “Then we have to unite against the outside world, and this ti we must forcefully push two people up.
Otherwise, won’t it cause disunity?”
For such a forceful and irrational answer, Xue Song didn’t bother to set more conditions, and simply said, “No!
Now the situation you’re facing is, you can only push one person, it’s absolutely impossible for two people to get in at the sa ti.”
Qiao Yu spread his hands, answering, “Then it’s even simpler!
Get the two together, then set conditions until one of them is willing to voluntarily opt out.
Since you’ve assud that I could decide who gets to be an Academician with a single word, then I’d surely have tons of resources, right?
As long as I don’t want to monopolize, how could I offend people to death?
Besides, both the ntor and grandmaster would definitely consider my situation, and wouldn’t put in such trouble.
Even if unavoidable, it must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, like who’s beneficial for the sect, or which is easier to appease, right?
Not to ntion mathematicians should have a broader perspective, shouldn’t just focus on our own small patch of land, right?
If not within our country, then it could be abroad, like recomnding another person to be a foreign Academician from another country, and compensating them with so projects!”
