Super God-Level Top Student

This is an event worthy of universal celebration.

As it has been proven, when professors want to trouble students, not to mention a semi-open book exam, even bringing a computer to the test hall isn't very useful.

However, this did not cause any waves within the school.

What most captured the children's attention was the news that Qiao Ze, a sophomore, was ready to graduate.

The news came from the School of Mathematics' sophomore basic mathematics class.

It was said that during the last class of Mathematical Analysis B this semester, the professor, faced with students' unreasonable demands to outline the key types of exam questions, sighed, "Hey, Qiao Ze even skipped a semester of classes and is preparing to graduate, yet you're still anxious about simple exam questions. Is that appropriate?"

Truly, this statement left the students of the basic mathematics class at a loss for words.

Their own professor actually had the nerve to compare them to Qiao Ze...

That's not how you lift someone up.

Yet it was only then that everyone remembered that Qiao Ze was still an undergraduate student like them. Although they had only encountered him in political science classes, they were actually classmates. Emotionally speaking, it was truly quite complicated.

But from Zhu's perspective, the final sigh was not without aim.

Interestingly, the professors for a few courses in the sophomore year were eager to become the advisor for Qiao Ze's undergraduate thesis.

The school hurriedly promoted Li Jiangao to a full professor and granted him doctoral advisor qualifications, which everyone understood as clear as a mirror, so it was certain that Qiao Ze's future advisor need not be considered, but the undergraduate thesis advisor was still up for grabs.

Without any effort, once the thesis was completed, following the standard format for graduation theses, one must thank the guidance teacher.

The acknowledgment in the thesis of the future youngest Fields Medalist could not only be flaunted but may also help with promotions and salary raises in the future.

Now, various competitions within the higher education sector are already fiercely competitive, and having been Qiao Ze's thesis advisor is definitely a bonus in academic standing which is otherwise similar among peers.

Zhu certainly had this in mind as well.

Unfortunately, he had no opportunity to see Qiao Ze, which made Li Jiangao very busy lately. There were always professors who wanted to invite him for meals, to the point of being inescapable. The semester was ending, and the School had set the beginning of the next term for Qiao Ze to graduate, so it was about time to finalize the thesis topic and direction.

Although an undergraduate thesis posed almost no difficulty for Qiao Ze and there were many possible directions to take, the process had always been as such.

However, what Qiao Ze's undergraduate thesis would be about had not yet been decided, but his paper on the Yang-Mills solution had already been published first in "Mathematics Annual."

This was the third paper Qiao Ze had published in "Mathematics Annual," making him the first mathematician in the world to publish three papers consecutively in "Mathematics Annual" within three months.

To be more precise, he was also the first mathematician in the world who managed to publish three papers consecutively in the top four mathematics journals within three months.

Many records are broken in such an imperceptible manner.

All the aforementioned messy matters did not affect the three-story small building of Xilin Mathematics Institute.

On an ordinary day, everyone still did whatever they had to do.

Especially for Qiao Ze, since moving here, he seldom returned to his home and dormitory.

He was allocated an entire floor of the small building, which, in addition to an office and a reception room, Xu Dajiang had also arranged a comfortable and spacious living room for Qiao. It was spacious enough to accommodate at least two people.

Qiao Ze had helped Liu Chenfeng secure a topic from the School on the applications of Calderón-Zygmund theory in PDEs, mainly studying things like singular integral operators, pseudodifferential operators, paradiifferential operators, and Fourier integral operators.

The School approved a research budget of 200,000 yuan.

For a Ph.D. student, having an independent topic and funding, plus the two free labor forces Qiao Ze found for him, it was time to move on.

Qiao Ze's new research had nothing to do with him, and the Institute wasn't planning on pursuing research in that area any time soon.

However, Liu Chenfeng was thick-skinned enough to move to the second floor and refused to leave.

Although strictly speaking, Liu Chenfeng was not considered a member of the Mathematics Institute, no one asked him to leave, so he stayed on.

Mainly because the newly established Mathematics Institute was still lacking in personnel.

There are only two leaders for the time being.

The director is Li Jiangao, but since his office is temporarily still at the School of Mathematics, he does not visit often.

Another deputy director is Professor Xu Changshu, who willingly transferred from Yanbei University. His primary work is currently on the application of cutting methods on the ζ function.

Qiao Ze is the designated chief researcher of the future but is only honorary for the time being, as he has yet to complete the procedures from graduating with a bachelor's degree to obtaining a doctorate.

Hanna was hired as a research assistant.

When Qiao Ze needed her to do something, he would email her directly.

It wasn't that no one was willing to join.

On the contrary, many wanted to join the research institute.

Numerous lecturers and professors from the Xilin Mathematics Institute and the Physics College were keen to join.

Not just because of Qiao Ze's reputation, but also because the newly established institute had numerous positions allocated.

It was said that they managed to secure three full professorships and seven associate professorships, in addition to over ten positions ranging from assistant researcher to researcher.

Simply put, if one could get into the institute, any accomplishment would be far easier to achieve compared to competing for a position at another school, particularly for lecturers in the "up or out" position.
