Early the next morning, the family area near Yanbei University.

Zhang Hongcai got up on time at half past six as usual, picked up the phone and looked at it, and found that there were already 5 missed calls.

Qian Yuhai called three, and Lu Changzheng called two, which made Zhang Hongcai feel good.

Last night, I had a rare amount of thought, and I turned my phone to do not disturb mode, and successfully intercepted two boring people who didn't rest in the early morning and had a chaotic schedule.

Actually, it wasn't that boring before.

But ever since the Princeton master launched the watermark challenge, the two men have been in a state of flux.

He proposed to simply call Xilin University of Technology to ask, but the two sternly refused! What to say about the results of cheating, it is not interesting!

It's really two demons.

Especially when Qian Yuhai made the first phone call, it was more than 4 o'clock in the morning.

This is not only a demon, but human nature is about to be worn out.

When Zhang Hongcai was thinking about whether to call the two of them back, the phone called again, and it was still Qian Yuhai.

Forget it, let's give my old colleague a face, take it.

casually pressed the call button, and before he could speak, the excited voice on the other side began to bombard his eardrums: "Why didn't you answer the phone just now?" ”

"Would you like to see what time it is? People don't have to sleep? Zhang Hongcai immediately choked back.

"Sleep? How can you still sleep? Lao Lu and I are all night! Never mind...... Can you believe it? Qiao Ze posted another paper on it, another top issue! The author is still those people! In May, I went to Xilin University of Technology, and now at the end of June, I have two top mathematics journals in a month! In the past, my students wanted to send out water magazines and mixed graduation certificates, but it was not so efficient! ”

"Huh?! Another one, huh? This ......" Zhang Hongcai was also a little confused.

"What's this, what's this? Last night the math circle was going to explode. Two heavyweight papers in a row, although they are both written about group theory to build a self-monitoring framework, how can they come up with so much data to support it without a year and a half? This is still the case that those foreigners don't know that Qiao Ze has only been going to Xilin University of Technology for more than a month, if they know, they still have it? Some people are beginning to doubt the authenticity of their papers! Fortunately, there is a watermark left by Qiao Ze to support it! ”

Qian Yuhai's voice became more and more excited.

"In addition, now even Xilin University of Technology is on fire abroad, last night no less than 20 foreign professors sent an email to ask me about Xilin University of Technology, and also asked me who is higher and lower than our research institute in the level of the School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology! How do you say that gives me an answer? By the way, you can also check your mailbox later, I guess someone has asked you too. ”

Zhang Hongcai felt that his brain was a little confused.

I couldn't help it, so I woke up, and this guy called. The brain is not in a normal state, and a bunch of mixed information is pouring in, which is indeed easy to shut down.

But there was one thing he understood.

The School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology suddenly became famous internationally because of Qiao Ze's two papers.

This is probably an absolute alternative upside down.

The reputation of a secondary college in a university abroad exceeds that of its reputation at home, even if it is only for a short period of time, the influence is enough to bluff people.

Of course, in helping Xilin University of Technology to publicize, Sumant Gyal contributed a lot.

If it weren't for the scolding war that lasted for more than ten hours, Qiao Ze and Li Jiangao's paper would not have had such a big impact so quickly, and naturally it would not have been noticed by everyone so quickly.

But the combination of these coincidences really makes it difficult to answer the straightforward questions of those foreign friends.

The cultural background is different, and sometimes I really can't tell whether these questions asked by these small openers who have grown up under the influence of different cultures are trying to stir up trouble.

"What's so hard to answer about that? Just answer truthfully. Zhang Hongcai said in a sullen voice: "What? Can the School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology catch up with us? ”

"That being said, but we haven't published a top issue for a year and a half, right? Even if people don't talk about it, we feel ashamed to think about it ourselves. It's not that I'm talking about you, you dragged me and Lao Lu to Xilin at that time, why did you return in vain? You couldn't have been more resolute then? Maybe they'll snatch someone? ”

This sentence directly made Zhang Hongcai angry, and immediately sarcastically said: "Heh, who said at that time that Qiao Ze had a bad temperament and was difficult to become a big man?" Hurt Zhongyong has spoken out, and now he blames me? ”

"Yes, that's what I said. But I'm the one who goes to make soy sauce, how to poach people is up to you, Director Zhang, right? If you hadn't given up, would Lao Lu and I have come back? ”

The shirking of responsibility is unassailable.

Zhang Hongcai didn't bother to pay attention to this demon, and said directly: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, there's nothing else, I'm going to get up." ”

"Wait...... It's really something. Do you think, Lao Zhang, it's okay for your child to go to Xilin University of Technology for undergraduate, and he will get a graduate diploma in the future, right? With his current ability, the meaning of the undergraduate is fine, I think it is quite shameless for Xilin to use children to engage in public opinion, I don't believe Qiao Ze is so smart I can't feel it, let's try to show goodwill first, see if we can cooperate? ”

The phone, which had already removed its ears, put it back again: "Well, this can be considered." You must have some thoughts after you haven't slept all night, tell me about it. ”

"Isn't there a lot of buzz on the Internet right now? Shall we let the graduate school see what way to express its position, call on everyone to be calm and calm, and give children a quiet research environment? Anyway, it's not a shame to say that, and it can be considerate. Speaking of pushing a child who is not yet twenty years old to the forefront, those people have done it. ”

"And then?"

"And then we don't have Joze's number. In the future, when the child is not busy, contact more, and it is best to add a WeChat. Next, let's take one step at a time, and play the emotional card slowly. If the child wants to do something again, maybe we can give some support, and this will gradually become familiar. ”

"I thought you had a great idea. Okay, I'll call the graduate school when I get back. And you and Lao Lu don't sleep at night, don't take me! In the future, unless the sky really falls, don't call me before 6 o'clock in the morning! On the trip to Xilin, although no one grabbed it, I still learned from the number blocking. ”

After speaking, Zhang Hongcai didn't bother to listen to Qian Yuhai's nonsense, and hung up the phone directly.

"Who? Calling so early? Seeing Zhang Hongcai put down his mobile phone, his wife next to him stretched lazily and asked casually.

"Old money." Zhang Hongcai replied.

"Old money? What's the matter? ”

"Remember the kid I mentioned to you the other day? I also made a special trip to Xilin for him. ”

"What's wrong with the kid? Last time I heard you say that kid was rude. ”

"It's one thing to be rude, but he has published two papers in a row this month, which are recognized as the top international journals of mathematics."

"What? That high school student? That's enough to rate a professor in our school, right? ”

"That's not all, he also did a project, I suspect that he was favored by Youwei Group, and the day before yesterday, Yu Hongwei also posted a Weibo for him, saying that it was a strong alliance."

"This ...... It means that he can still take the subject and pull funds? ”

"Yes! Lao Qian still wants to work hard, but he doesn't want to work hard at the undergraduate level, and hopes to invite people at the graduate level. ”

"That old money is a good thing! Last time, when the kid didn't have a good reputation, the three of you couldn't pull it on a special trip, and now in this situation, as long as the leaders of Xilin University of Technology still have a little brain, they will have to leave people in this school by smashing pots and selling iron. ”

The big truth is always hard to hear.

Zhang Hongcai glared at his wife and said, "You know a lot!" ”

After saying that, he got up from the bed sullenly, prepared to wash, and planned to go to the academy early.

You can't just do nothing if you don't have a chance, right?

……

Xilin University of Technology.

Entering July, the campus has gradually deserted.

Deserted in the physical sense, because with the end of the exams in various colleges, normal undergraduates can already go home to spend one of the few happy summer vacations in their lives.

The children who have already signed up for the professors' various scientific research projects have bid farewell to the summer vacation in advance, and can devote themselves to the laboratory to deal with various machines or bottles and cans, laying the foundation for the future.

But today, the professors in the school who have a little connections are in a burning mood, and they can even be described as boiling.

The newly recruited student from the previous math school published a top math journal, which has already made some splashes in the school.

But at that time, in addition to admiration, everyone was also occupied by the unspeakable manipulation of the Academy.

After that, it became popular in the mathematical community to find watermarks in Qiao Ze's papers, but in fact, it was not too broken. For the professors of other colleges, they just felt that the School of Mathematics had hit a big luck this time and actually poached such an excellent student.

But when the second paper was published in a top international journal less than two days later, the impact began to break the circle.

In the academic world, everyone is familiar with this kind of thing.

Many times it is not that I think about water, but I am forced.

Position, Title, Bonus, Rating...... When a series of personal honors and monetary interests are linked to the results of the paper, the page fee is not worth mentioning.

But generally the core of Nengshui is already a bigwig-level character.

There are really few people in the world who can water the top international journal, let alone mathematics.

If this time is reduced to a month, even the top bosses have never heard of such a game.

Unless there are a few capable people under him, but at most they will hang up a newsletter, and when they reach a certain status, they will always have to have face within the team, and they will not rob a work.

This is no longer excellent to describe, this is really too against the sky.

However, the leadership of the school and the school are still relatively calm.

Li Jiangao is a sincere person, and he has reported to Xu Dajiang before, and they first published two papers this time.

In addition, the senior management already knew that Youwei Group had taken a fancy to Qiao Ze's project. Compared to missing out on a project that might have made the school jump in place, the excitement of the two top publications has also been greatly diminished.

What made them even more vigilant was that the official Weibo of Yanbei Graduate School suddenly posted a Weibo early in the morning.

"Congratulations to Qiao Ze, a mathematical genius in China, for publishing another paper in the world's top journals of applied mathematics, and please ask the public to have more kind tolerance and less critical attention to the future mathematics of China, so that we can give a thriving seedling a quiet and excellent growth environment. Thank you. ”

Really, when I saw this Weibo, everyone couldn't say it on their lips, but MMP in their hearts!

My students are concerned, what is the learning environment, and what is the matter with your Yanbei University?

inexplicably posted such a Weibo, and the abacus beads inevitably hit too loudly.

The most direct effect is that Li Jiangao, who was just going to go out to study his thesis in the research group, received a call from Xu Dajiang: "Hey, Jiangao, the principal called just now and said, isn't Qiao Ze's mother coming in the afternoon?" Originally, he wanted to greet him in person, but there was a meeting that he really couldn't leave, so he had entrusted Principal Zheng and the two leaders of the school office to greet him. On the side of our college, there are just me, you and Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhuo from the admissions office is also going, and there is anyone else on the students' side who is going to pick it up except Qiao Ze, go back and send me the list, I can arrange the car conveniently. ”

Li Jiangao was a little confused, he didn't expect the school to greet Lu Xiuxiu with such fanfare.

I'm afraid this battle is going to scare other people's mothers, right?

"No, Dean Xu, it's not necessary, right? Shall we go and greet us? School leaders also need to come forward? ”

"Why is it unnecessary? Jiangao, have you been in contact with Qiao Ze every day during this time, and your thoughts are not sensitive? Two international top journals a month, what does it mean that the project performance can be better than chatGpt, students have no concept, don't you have a concept? Needless to say, your most important task anyway is to keep Joze. ”

"Besides, this year, your Jieqing can't run. I'll tell you something about it, just listen to it. Lao Chen has already spoken, and he will use all his resources to push you up. In fact, he is not for anything else, but to put a hat on you, then according to the current policy, at least no one else can poach you in the past few years when he has been in office. So you don't have to have any psychological pressure, thank Dade. ”

Li Jiangao replied blankly: "Oh." ”

"You know, just remember to send me the list of places to go later. It's hanging. ”

Hanging up the phone, Li Jiangao began to frown and ponder.

He remembered what José had told him that afternoon, about the reality of this universe.

How could he suddenly fast-forward to the point where he had to trot forward to keep up with the pace of the world?

After relieving himself, Li Jiangao thought of something, and simply called out again.

"Mr. Su, there is something I want to tell you......

……

Xilin University of Technology, outside the girls' dormitory.

Su Mucheng walked out of the dormitory building quickly and greeted the man who was standing at the door waiting for her.

"Dad, why did you come to me so early?"

"Come and say goodbye to you, I'll be going to the Deep City later."

"Huh? Didn't you say that you would pick up Qiao Ze's mother together in the afternoon? ”

"I decided to meet with Qiao Ze's mother before, because considering that the project was done by Qiao Ze after all, and he didn't want to take care of things, since I represent the two of you at the same time, I should at least listen to Qiao Ze's mother's thoughts to show respect. However, after communicating with Professor Li in the past two days, I feel that I may not be able to talk about anything with Qiao Ze's mother. Coupled with the fact that your relationship is not just a partnership, it is actually a bit inappropriate to meet on this occasion today. Su Lixing explained.

"Is there one?" Su Mucheng tilted his head and asked.

"Yes, I was going to invite you to have a meal with Qiao Ze's mother in the evening, but just now Professor Li called me again, saying that the welcome specifications have been improved this afternoon, and the school leaders and college leaders will go to greet me, so I don't need to join in the fun. Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you and Qiao Ze can really be together in the future, from the perspective of respect, the first time I meet my future mother-in-law shouldn't be this kind of occasion, right? Su Lixing said gently.

This time, Su Mucheng nodded suddenly, but still opened his mouth to correct: "Why do you want to take 10,000 steps back?" There is no need to retreat, Qiao Ze and I will definitely be together in the future. ”

"Alright, alright! I'm going to the deep city, so let's not talk about that for now. Su Lixing waved his hand, and then pretended to be unintentional and said, "By the way, did you tell Qiao Ze yesterday that you have already sent 660,000 red envelopes to everyone?" ”

Su Mucheng nodded and said, "Say, what's there to hide?" ”

"Then Qiao Ze didn't have any special reaction?"

"He's just as easy as usual, oh? How else can you react? “

As soon as he finished answering, Su Mucheng suddenly realized that something was wrong, looked at Su Lixing suspiciously, and asked, "Dad, what the hell are you trying to do?" You told me that you should send you a red envelope, and you came to ask me about Qiao Ze's reaction today? ”

Su Lixing smiled bitterly: "Can you think of Dad to order something good?" What the hell can I do? I'm going to negotiate with Youwei on behalf of you, I have to know if Qiao Ze really doesn't put his money at ease, right? You also told me that Qiao Ze's family is not rich, what if he just talks about not loving money, but doesn't think so in his heart? ”

Su Mucheng tilted his head and retorted, "Aren't they all the same?" Could it be that he really doesn't love money, and you still want to be greedy for him? Besides, you're not that kind of person, are you? ”

"I ......"

Su Lixing glared at Su Mucheng fiercely, very angry, but fortunately, there was a last sentence that made him angry.

But thinking of such a daughter, he patiently explained: "Your technology, and Youwei talk about cooperation, there are two general directions." The first is to get enough immediate profits at one time and give up the interests with unlimited possibilities in the later stage; Or maybe you want less or even no immediate profits, and look to the future. Only by grasping Qiao Ze's true mentality can I help negotiate a result that he is satisfied with. ”

"To put it simply, if Qiao Ze just pays lip service to the money and doesn't care about it, I would choose the first option. Because no matter how safe the technology is, once it involves huge R&D expenditures, hardware expenditures and various maintenance in the direction of technology and engineering, as well as in the face of the ever-changing market environment, it is unsafe to blindly seek future benefits, full of variables, it is better to make a sum of money first. If José really didn't care that much about money, I would try to lean in the second direction, after all, the potential of this technology is there. Got it? ”

"Then you can tell me directly, I'll just ask Qiao Ze directly, are you tired after making so many twists and turns?" Su Mucheng pouted.

Su Lixing smiled bitterly, how could he let this girl know that many times what people say is actually the opposite of what they really think? But Qiao Ze's guy really seems to have something to say, the combination of words and deeds is terrible, and he can't educate his children with all the positive case teaching materials!

Tired!
