Chapter 85: Roots and Branches

"Wang Ning, have you really decided to participate in the college student mathematics competition?"

After saying goodbye to Wu Bingbai in the Mathematics Club, Wang Ning and Zhang Jing returned to the dormitory side by side.

Along the way, Zhang Jing's watch was very lost. But no, the purpose of inviting Wang Ning to the Mathematics Club was to test Wang Ning's mathematical strength. Find the limits of the other party and see how far you are from the other party.

The result?

He himself doesn't know if he has tested the limit of the opponent's strength, but judging from the strength of the opponent's appearance, the gap between him and the other party is like a trench, and it is difficult to say whether he can catch up in this life.

Then, with his own strength, the other party was easily recognized by a quasi-academician-level master like Wu Bingbai. Not only do you personally invite each other to join the mathematics group, but you can also make an exception to use the special quota, which is to invite the other party to participate in the National College Student Mathematics Competition.

Judging from Wu Bingbai's expression, it seems that as long as the other party participates, there is not much suspense about the ranking of the competition. Although Wu Bingbai also invited him to join the mathematics group because of the other party, he was not happy at all.

Because of his family background, Zhang Jing grew up in praise since he was a child. Even in the face of peers whose family background is stronger than him and whose talent is higher than his, he will not feel powerless to catch up. And now? He clearly felt that the gap between himself and the other party was still a gap that could not be seen at a glance.

Even if he was ready to be hit, the current blow was still too big for Zhang Jing, making him a little overwhelmed when facing Wang Ning. That's why when he knew that Wang Ning hadn't made a decision, he still asked a question that already had an answer.

Wang Ning naturally knew what kind of blow Zhang Jingzhao had been dealt to in the mathematics club, but he didn't care when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Not yet, can I participate in the competition, I want to go back and ask the teacher!" ”

"Oh!" Zhang Jing nodded, similar to the answer he had guessed. After asking a word, he didn't know what to continue to say, and fell silent for a while!

Zhang Jing was silent, but Wang Ning had questions: "Student Zhang Jing, why is Professor Wu's appearance so strange when I just said that I had to go back and ask the teacher before I can decide whether to participate in the competition?" ”

Until now, Wang Ning can't figure out what Wu Bingbai's reaction was for. Could it be because he didn't directly agree, which made him a little displeased?

Shaking his head, Wang Ning didn't think Wu Bingbai was so stingy. If Wu Bingbai is really so stingy, then he will be more stingy, and it is unlikely that he will have his current results. It is impossible for a scholar with a small belly to become a world-famous scientist.

Since you can't figure it out yourself, you naturally have to ask others. Zhang Jing is a very good candidate, the other party not only knows Wu Bingbai, but also has a deep connection with the academic world, growing up in that environment since childhood, he will definitely know a lot of secrets that ordinary people don't know.

No matter what, Wang Ning took the initiative to talk to him, but Zhang Jing was a little more relaxed. He is naturally willing to be with excellent people, but the other party is too good, and he begins to suffer from gains and losses. Now feeling Wang Ning's still friendly attitude, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

He felt happy because he was recognized by his peers, and Zhang Jing didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The original self-confidence seems to have been completely destroyed. No matter what, when he heard Wang Ning's question, he still thought about it for a while, and then said: "It seems to be related to future development!" ”

"Something to do with the future?"

Wang Ning was slightly stunned, it was just to participate in a college student mathematics competition, how could it have anything to do with future development?

"Well, I heard the elders in the family say that every scientist has to make a choice before becoming famous!"

Zhang Jing's answer made Wang Ning even more confused: "Choice? What are the options? ”

"I don't know the specifics, but a few years ago one of my senior brothers seemed to have made these choices, and he vaguely told me the words roots and branches. Later, I asked the elders in the family what the roots and branches represented. It's a pity that the elder in the family didn't say it explicitly, he just looked at me with a complicated expression, saying that I could only be a branch, and then there was no discussion of this topic! ”

Not only Wang Ning, but even Zhang Jing felt inexplicable. Do branches, roots, have anything to do with scientists? Why does every scholar make this decision before they grow up?

Zhang Jing was a little confused, but after Wang Ning heard Zhang Jing's description, his whole body couldn't help but shock. Looking at the trees that were thriving around me, an idea slowly emerged in my heart.

"Classmate Zhang Jing, have you seen that senior brother since that day?"

Wang Ning didn't know if his thoughts were right, he could only deduce the truth through Zhang Jing's description.

Zhang Jing hesitated slightly, and said uncertainly: "I seem to have seen it, I heard from my parents that that senior brother joined a certain scientific research group." As a national-level scientific research group, it is not easy for the members of the group to come out, so we rarely have the opportunity to meet. But I seem to have seen him at one of the holidays, and when I greeted him, he just smiled at me and then turned away! What, what's the problem? ”

"No, no, I may know the reason for Professor Wu's hesitation!" Zhang Jing's statement made the thoughts in Wang Ning's heart clearer.

"What is the reason?"

Zhang Jing also wanted to know the truth about his brother's departure, but unfortunately no one told him, as if someone had cut off his contact with some places, even if he couldn't get in touch.

"It's nothing, it's just for growth!" Touching the dry and wrinkled bark around him, Wang Ning said with emotion.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. It's already noon, and Zhang Jing hasn't eaten. To thank you for taking me to the math club, I treat you to a meal! Turning his head to look at Zhang Jing, Wang Ning said.

"Okay, then I'm welcome!" Zhang Jing is still very interested in Wang Ning, whether it is in terms of knowledge or being recognized by Shen Chongfeng, he is very curious about Wang Ning. In addition, the other party will indeed give him a lot of help in terms of knowledge, and he does not hate to establish a good friendship with Wang Ning.

"That's okay, I'll invite Zhang Jing to have a good meal!" Wang Ning has a good feeling for Zhang Jing, and it can be seen from Zhang Jing's ability to know Shen Chongfeng and Wu Bingbai that the other party's family background is definitely not ordinary.

It seems that the descendants of scientists are not as good as the second generation of rich officials, but they should not be underestimated. Especially the scientific family standing at the top, they are a group that the bigwigs are unwilling to offend, Zhang Jing, as their descendant, has not developed a domineering character, which is different from the other second generations, Wang Ning is also willing to contact such people.
