He really didn’t expect the program team to keep this part intact. After all, at the ti he said those things purely to annoy those three guys in his friend’s group chat.
I guess this program is ant to encourage young people to engage in scientific research! After all, he almost blatantly ntioned it, just short of naming those three guys.
There were only six of them who went to Australia to participate in the IMO, and besides him, the three of them chose Yanbei University. The other two chose to go to the talent class at Huaqing.
"What did they do to provoke you?" Qiao Xi asked after Qiao Yu had almost finished laughing.
"They are now too embarrassed to acknowledge , haha! I don’t know if they have watched this interview. If they did, they’re probably cursing in the group chat now!"
Saying that, Qiao Yu took out his phone.
He felt that although these three guys had been keeping silent recently, they would still pay attention to his movents. For instance, they would definitely take a peek at tonight’s interview.
Even if they didn’t watch, soone should notify them to watch it. Although there’s no TV in the dorm room and they can’t watch these kinds of programs, they can still watch TV online.
As far as he knew, Yu Wei had the habit of watching the Central dia’s seven o’clock news on his computer.
When he opened WeChat, he couldn’t find the friend group at first. After scrolling up carefully, he found that the group na had been changed to "Be a Human."
Sure enough, the group chat was lively again.
If he hadn’t set his phone to Do Not Disturb, he would have seen it earlier.
Yu Yongjun: "Brother Qiao, please stop showing off. We already recognize the gap between us. Don’t do this! This is a Central dia interview!"
Gong Jiatao: "Damn! The two beasts in the dorm are now calling Lost Bro. God Qiao, doesn’t your conscience hurt?"
Yu Wei, still thoughtful, only sent a row of ellipses.
"Huh? How did you guys take it personally? It’s just a taphor, you know? A figure of speech. Co on, this interview had to set a few typical examples and throw in so criticism. I couldn’t possibly criticize soone unfamiliar, right?"
Qiao Yu defended himself in the group chat, sounding very righteous.
"No, if you say it that way, then those familiar with you suffer the most. Can’t we all just be decent people?"
"If you feel unlucky, leave the group and block then! Ha... When you guys are about to graduate and want to apply for a master’s recomndation, don’t say you know ! Oh, rich second generations aren’t included in this."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Not bad, he managed to leave all three of them speechless.
"Alright, I’m not talking to you guys anymore. I have a ton of things to do. Ah, you guys have no idea how hard it is to get things done nowadays!"
...
"Ah, it’s so hard to be a review expert these days! How can this kid say that?! How did Old Tian teach him?!"
Lu Yanxiang, having just watched the special interview, complained to his wife beside him, looking uncomfortable.
"Why did you reject his project in the first place? Wouldn’t it have been better to just approve it? This kid is so amazing, his teacher is Academician Tian, and he has a good relationship with Academician Yuan. Wouldn’t it be easier to go with the flow?"
Lu Yanxiang’s wife is also a university professor, but she teaches social and humanities subjects. Naturally, she doesn’t quite understand the mathematics side of things.
"Why reject it? You think I wanted that? He submitted a project to resolve the Riemann Conjecture. Who could have thought he could really solve it! If I casually approved it, people might think I had so dealings with Yanbei University!" Lu Yanxiang retorted loudly.
"So what? Did Qiao Yu solve it?" his wife countered.
Lu Yanxiang imdiately couldn’t raise his voice any longer, left speechless.
"Yes, this issue, frankly, is because you look down on the young guy! You look down on him and don’t allow him to say a few words on TV? I never noticed you were so domineering before!"
"What do you know! That’s the Riemann Conjecture!"
"So, was it solved?"
Well, Lu Yanxiang finally understood what "winners are kings, losers are outlaws" ans. Even his wife viewed it this way, and he dared not imagine how ordinary people would interpret that segnt once it aired!
He feared a label of jealousy towards capable people would be put on him. Fortunately, rejecting Qiao Yu’s project was a collective decision at the ti.
"Otherwise, why don’t you simply stop being that expert reviewer? Could you bear to?"
He was too lazy to say anything now, but his wife suddenly blurted out another sentence.
Lu Yanxiang was stunned for a mont, then found himself speechless again.
Naturally, he couldn’t bear it.
Without reaching that age, how many people could truly relinquish the power they hold without concern?
Don’t underestimate the status of an expert in the review database.
Every year, the National Natural Science Foundation projects are limited, and there are only so many allocations available. Who the allocations go to or don’t go to is naturally decided by experts with authority.
Holding this power, it becos much easier for his students to achieve what they want.
As long as no big mistakes are made in principle, projects with hope can be exchanged privately without any harm.
If the power of review is relinquished, it will be very difficult for many in the institute to secure projects in the future.
This is not just about him, but a matter concerning a group. Who can say let go and just let it go?
"I wonder what Elder Yuan and Old Tian think?" Lu Yanxiang couldn’t help but mutter a sentence.
"You people always think it’s the old folks’ idea. Why don’t you say this might just be what Qiao Yu himself thought?
Sure, the kid is young, but dare to look at a kid who can solve the Riemann Conjecture as if they know nothing? Kids these days are precocious!"
