Be a bit humble. If you really can’t match up technically, admit it. There’s nothing to be ashad of. After all, Qiao Yu once gave an opening report at the World Algebraic Geotry Conference!
Luo Jingren nodded with a complex expression.
What more is there to say when things have co to this point?! If the other party can truly achieve this level... he knows very well what that represents.
It’s not just leading dostically; even internationally, such data analysis technology must be extrely advanced. Then what could he still compete for? But this is too incredible! How is it possible?!
...
Almost at the sa ti, at Yanbei University, Zhang Zuolin was also on the phone with Liu Hao.
"Hurry up, get all the analysis reports Qiao Yu provided us ready, and co to the office building. I’ll take you to the Science and Technology Committee to broaden your horizons and maybe watch so excitent."
"Huh? Now? I’m writing a report."
"Nonsense, you can write the report any ti. I’m telling you, this opportunity is rare, and if you miss it, who knows when you’ll get another chance like this."
"Okay, boss, wait a minute, I’ll be right down."
"Okay, I’ll wait for you for ten minutes, don’t waste ti! If you’re late, there won’t be any excitent to watch. Don’t forget to bring the data."
"Oh, got it!"
...
Qiao Yu had no idea that so many things would evolve around a small project, and that so people were even in it for the show.
If he knew, he’d probably be surprised. Is everyone in the research community really this idle? It can only be said that the generation gap is too big...
It happened to be the weekend, and the roads were a bit congested, taking nearly an hour for the car to drive into a building.
Soone was already waiting outside the gate.
"Academician Tian, sorry, Mr. Yu called you, and then right after, I had to attend an important eting. He specially entrusted to wait for you here. You can rest a bit first, the eting should conclude in about half an hour."
"Oh, Secretary Chen, you’re too polite. We’ll just wait then. By the way, has Academician Liu Zhao Yuan arrived?"
"Academician Liu is already on his way. He should be here in about ten minutes. And this must be Qiao Yu, truly a young hero! Director Tian indeed has a wise eye. Let first show you to a resting place while we wait for Academician Liu. Please follow ..."
Qiao Yu obediently walked behind Tian Yanzhen, following Secretary Chen to a lounge.
Though it was called a lounge, it was practically the sa as a small conference room, with a long table that could seat more than ten people.
At the front was a screen and a projector setup. Yanbei University also had many similar small conference rooms, which made Qiao Yu feel quite at ho.
After settling the two, Secretary Chen had a staff mber bring a cup of hot tea and a bottle of soft drink, then went to receive others.
The drink was what Qiao Yu wanted.
No choice, he could neither appreciate the wonders of alcohol nor find tea palatable.
In comparison, those sweet drinks were more suitable for him.
No need for words like ’refreshes the palate’, ’rich and llow’, ’lasting aftertaste’, or other such vague descriptions, just the right amount of sweetness was enough. Qiao Yu wouldn’t forcefully enjoy sothing he wasn’t fortunate enough to appreciate, nor forcefully endure sothing bitter.
What he didn’t expect was how well-stocked the Science and Technology Committee was, even having cola.
"Drink less sugary drinks," Tian Yanzhen couldn’t help but comnt to Qiao Yu.
"Uh... Director Tian, don’t worry, I’m still young, I can tabolize it!" Qiao Yu said after taking a big gulp.
Tian Yanzhen said no more.
No choice, sixteen years old. At this age, many things are hard to care about. Truth be told, Tian Yanzhen didn’t have much experience dealing with students of this age.
After all, that’s the responsibility of high school teachers.
Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait long before Secretary Chen brought two more people in.
Seeing who arrived, Tian Yanzhen stood up, then glanced at Qiao Yu beside him, though a reminder wasn’t necessary. Seeing his own ntor stand, Qiao Yu had already straightened up.
Then he watched the two opposite accelerate their pace towards his ntor. Hmm, it was clear his ntor had so standing in Huaxia’s mathematics circles.
"Zhao Yuan, long ti no see."
"Academician Tian, indeed, it’s been a while. The last ti we t should have been at the National Mathematics Conference."
"Right, why didn’t you attend last month’s Annual Mathematics eting?"
"Ah, so work issues held up. But I’m aware of what happened at the eting. This must be Qiao Yu? At such a young age, he pushed the upper bound of pri number gaps to 6, truly impressive."
Standing next to Tian Yanzhen, Qiao Yu instinctively showed a shy smile, a habit ford since childhood.
Whenever soone praised him outside, and he didn’t know who they were, he would smile like this, as they were not very familiar.
When facing unfamiliar people, primarily if he didn’t know their status or preferences in the Jianghu, or their influence on him, he couldn’t determine whether to hide his skills or boast.
Anyway, he was still young, and maintaining a smile could always leave those old folks speechless. This is what his grandfather taught him, and he’s continued it to this day.
Tian Yanzhen glanced at Qiao Yu and then began introducing, "Qiao Yu, let introduce you. This is Academician Liu Zhao Yuan, whom I ntioned before. He currently leads work at the Institute of Computational Mathematics."
"Hello, Academician Liu." Qiao Yu imdiately greeted.
"Hello, hello. By the way, the solution to the Twin Pri Conjecture should be within reach, right?" Liu Zhao Yuan asked again.
