"Mr. Yang, I’m back."
"Hmm, good you’re back. Did Academician Tian invite you to dinner today?"
"No, it was Elder Yuan who invited us to Huaqing for a al. Oh right, I might need to ask for leave later; Elder Yuan ntioned today that after the sumr camp here is over, Qiao Yu should take to Qiuzhai at Huaqing."
"Oh, all minor things. Just let know when the ti cos. Go rest quickly, don’t miss tomorrow’s opening event."
"Okay!"
...
On the other side, Qiao Yu hesitated for a mont and then went to Building No. 9 of the Shao Garden Hotel.
With Qiao Xi here, his little suite didn’t seem appealing anymore. He decided to sleep on the hotel sofa for the next few days.
The good thing about sumr is that you can sleep anywhere for a night.
He knocked on the door, and soon it opened. Qiao Xi must have just taken a shower, as her hair was still sowhat wet.
"Keke has already gone back?"
"Yeah."
"Planning to sleep here tonight?"
"Yeah, there’s a sofa in the suite anyway."
Qiao Xi looked at Qiao Yu, gestured, and said, "Isn’t the sofa a bit short?"
"Short? Then let’s add another one."
"Might as well get a double room."
"No need. Rember when I was young, I loved sleeping on the sofa."
"Did you really love sleeping on the sofa? You just wanted to watch TV on it."
"Mom, see through without tearing through, we’ll still be good friends! Otherwise, friendship ends."
Qiao Xi sniffed with a disdainful face and scolded, "Go take a shower, why do you sll so bad? It’s such a hot day, I doubt you bathe every day!"
Qiao Yu argued, "This is Beijing, who bathes every day! Besides, I’m already popular without bathing; if I bathed fragrant every day, wouldn’t that be too much?"
...
After the routine banter between mother and son, Qiao Yu obediently went into the bathroom.
He quickly took care of hygiene, then ca out, and sat next to Qiao Xi, who was browsing her phone.
"Don’t browse short videos so much." Qiao Yu said.
"Just looking occasionally, you always need to stay in touch with the outside world, otherwise you’ll feel pretty dumb knowing nothing."
Qiao Xi put down her phone.
"Why not listen to tell you about my trip to the Paris conference?"
"Sure, go ahead."
Qiao Yu started talking about his experiences in Paris, inevitably focusing on that man.
From the breakfast eting to leaving at the end... he described it colorfully.
Qiao Xi just listened quietly, fully satisfying the little guy’s desire to perform.
"By the way, there’s more good news. Guess how much I got paid as a consultant in the chemistry lab?"
After finishing talking about Paris, Qiao Yu looked mysteriously at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi, seeing Qiao Yu’s expression, thought for a mont and said, "A million?"
"Hmm? Why do you think it could be that much?" Qiao Yu asked.
"If it were just tens of thousands or a few hundred thousand, you had earned that before; you wouldn’t be showing off like this."
Qiao Xi analyzed.
Qiao Yu didn’t really think he was showing off, but Qiao Xi always seeing through him made him a bit disheartened.
"It’s 1.367 million after tax!"
"Wow, Qiao Yu, you’re amazing."
"Please be a bit more sincere when you praise next ti."
Qiao Xi shrugged and said, "Can’t be more sincere than this. Because I’ve always felt with your capability and intelligence, no achievent of yours ever surprises ."
It can only be said that Qiao Xi knows how to complint Qiao Yu.
"I now have 1.6 million, I’ll transfer half to you later." Qiao Yu said.
"No need, I can’t even spend all my own money. You know, I neither like luxury goods, nor am I into makeup, and I don’t even invest money, so why do I need so much? If I really run out of money, I’ll ask you for so."
Qiao Xi shook her head slightly, refusing Qiao Yu’s kind offer.
"By the way, Qiao Yu, over the past few months during my breaks, I’ve carefully read the paper you published. Now I have so ideas, though I’m not sure if they’re right."
"Hmm? About the upper bound derivation for rational numbers on curves?"
"Yeah, you only sent that one paper, right?" Qiao Xi said softly.
"You understood it?"
"Originally I didn’t, but using the thod you told , I first looked at the references you cited, then the references of those references, and then read so books, and I think I sort of get it."
Qiao Yu looked at Qiao Xi with so curiosity.
He originally thought this paper was easy to understand, but even his Senior Brother Chen found it difficult, which made him realize that what he found simple might not be that easy.
At the ti he sent it to Qiao Xi not only to show off in front of his mom but also because Qiao Xi was the second author of the paper.
In case soone really wanted to scrutinize, having Qiao Xi look at it first would an she could say sothing about it.
However, Qiao Xi managing to sowhat understand it did intrigue Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu asked, "In the references I cited, there’s Peter Schultz’s paper. Are you sure you understand his docunt?"
"You an that ’Perfectoid Spaces’ one? It’s about constructing a series of different spaces to perfect a given geotric object. Is that... really hard to grasp? I think it’s just a clever solution."
Qiao Xi said casually.
Qiao Yu got anxious and sternly lectured, "How can you call it a clever solution? In p-adic number theory and algebraic variety research, the construction’s goal was not to simplify problems because there weren’t similar tools available before.
Otherwise, what tools can effectively handle algebraic geotric objects over fields based on the pri p as a base number? You must know that the combination of p-adic numbers and algebraic geotry is the most challenging part of algebraic geotry! If you talk like this outside, people will laugh at you."
