After expressing his gratitude to Qiao Yu, Yu Yanjiang swiftly walked away. Even though Qiao Yu never really cared much about saving face, he felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, having just complained about him, Old Yu ca over to express gratitude, which was sowhat awkward.
Fortunately, the world is actually very tolerant of outstanding people. Especially in Huaxia, where from a young age, children who excel in studies are embraced.
So, Qiao Yu quickly decided to forgive himself. The reason was quite sufficient—when everyone else in the world is tolerant of you, it’s quite silly to make things difficult for yourself.
"According to the previously discussed plan, we will live stream the moon landing next. Following that, there will be a live broadcast of about twelve hours a day on the astronauts’ progress in establishing a base on the Moon.
So, the work over at West University can also start to progress. It’s crucial to determine whether Huaxia Culture truly possesses an all-encompassing tolerance, as this is of great importance for future interstellar migration."
Qiao Yu seriously assigned so tasks to Zheng Xiweng.
However, Qiao Yu didn’t elaborate on how to do it, as he didn’t consider himself an expert in this area. Fortunately, these tasks happened to fall within Zheng Xiweng’s field of expertise.
Zheng Xiweng nodded, but he apparently wasn’t too focused on this matter, asking seriously, "Why don’t you go out and say a few words to everyone?"
Qiao Yu replied woefully, "Don’t joke! Last ti I made a public appearance, participated in an interview, and Elder Yuan directly sought out, landing with a project researching turbulence.
Right now, I’m not even sure how to start on it, and if I draw attention again, who knows how the tutors will arrange things for next! Besides, I don’t need any of that now.
Once you beco famous, you’ll understand; people are often burdened by their reputation! You know, my lifelong ambition has always been to earn money and then enjoy life quietly! Unfortunately, you can’t have your cake and eat it too in this world!"
Having said that, Qiao Yu spread his hands, genuinely looking quite helpless. But Zheng Xiweng felt that this young man had outshone him once again.
"Never mind, I know you won’t be able to understand these things! Let’s go."
"Not going to watch the moon landing?"
"What’s so interesting about the moon landing? I need to go back to studying the Navier-Stokes equations! The people here are too excited, and it’s affecting my peace of mind. Also, as you heard earlier, even Mr. Yu believes nothing will go wrong, so what’s there to watch?"
It makes a lot of sense, though Zheng Xiweng still felt a bit regretful. Although he could also watch the live broadcast, experiencing that mont in the command center is undoubtedly more special.
Of course, the tasks remain more important...

West University, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Fish Town.
For the John family, life seed to take on a new dynamic.
Richard attributed this to the change that cos when soone has a goal to strive for.
Indeed, when one’s attitude towards life becos positive, good things tend to follow consecutively.
For instance, on the third day after he submitted his application to his Huaxia supervisor, the results of the third Qiao Yu Scholarship term at his eldest son’s school were announced.
His eldest son, Thomas John, won the first prize scholarship—a full ten thousand US dollars!
Even though inflation had been quite severe for a ti and the purchase power of the US Dollar continued to decline, considering the school had already waived tuition and textbook fees, and even provided free lunch and dinner.
This sum of money was like picking sothing up for free.
Not to ntion that he now earns about only ten thousand US dollars a month for his family.
Most importantly, the scholarship’s biggest surprise wasn’t just the ten thousand US dollars; Thomas also received a Tai Chi series computer as part of the school’s reward.
Even though it’s the most basic product, for the John family, it was already an excellent reward.
Although compared to Huaxia’s RMB, the US Dollar still had a currency exchange advantage, like 2.9 RMB could exchange for one US Dollar, in terms of many products, this currency advantage had already disappeared.
For instance, buying an entry-level Tai Chi series computer in Huaxia costs roughly 8000 to 12000 RMB.
The price difference is indeed due to slight differences in hardware configuration, involving paraters like quantum degrees of freedom, coherence ti, and network card type.
But to own the sa Tai Chi computer in the United States costs about 20,000 to 23,000 US dollars.
Not all products sold from Huaxia to Arica are so expensive; only extrely advanced products like electric vehicles and quantum simulation computers are priced this way.
So for the John family, buying such a computer with full paynt was slightly pressured.
Especially since high-performance classic electronic computers were now dirt cheap; for just three thousand US dollars, one could procure a high-end electronic computer, making it a very cost-effective option.
So, although his three sons had always very much wanted a quantum simulation computer, he simply couldn’t bring himself to buy one.
Now, it’s great that the school awarded one directly, saving the family a significant expense. Richard felt the family was experiencing good fortune.
Today, Huaxia had another great piece of news to celebrate.
After three days of space travel, the manned spacecraft Moon Palace 3 successfully reached its scheduled orbit and docked with the Wu Gang No.1 cargo spacecraft.
It then started the lunar landing live broadcast in synchronization at eight in the evening Huaxia Ti.
If it were the old Richard, he probably wouldn’t feel as excited as he did now.
After all, these accomplishnts were achieved by Huaxia people. West University once sent the first man to the Moon, but now it no longer had the capability.
