Super God-Level Top Student

By the way, bring Qiao Ze two meals.

Aside from Qiao Ze, Tan Jingrong was still holding fast at the research institute.

Even though the institute was on holiday, for Tan Jingrong, who had no plans to return home anyway, it was better to continue working on his thesis there than waste time in his dorm room. After the dissolution of the Qunzhi Project Team, his presence hadn't been that strong, as he silently cooperated with the Group Wisdom interface department every day.

But when it comes to gains, his were the greatest.

Not just in terms of bonus, but more importantly, he had thoroughly broadened his path.

His graduation thesis was almost ready, and he would be able to graduate smoothly at the beginning of the year.

Jian Gao now qualified to accept doctoral students, and Tan Jingrong could choose to pursue a Ph.D. On the other hand, Youwei had already confirmed they could offer him a very generous position. Even without stock incentives, the annual salary would start from eighty thousand.

In an era when master's graduates are so competitive that major companies are thinking of layoffs, this treatment was already very generous.

Enough to keep him fully motivated.

However, Tan Jingrong was now more inclined to accept the offer from Youwei.

Although Qiao Ze had changed his life and made him realize the barriers to doing mathematical theory research were far higher than he had imagined.

Rather than doing miscellaneous tasks at the institute, it was better to start working earlier. At least hands-on work didn't demand such a high IQ.

As for his mentor, Li Jian Gao, he had simply sent out the thesis.

If nothing unexpected happened, after the holidays, his Jieqing project would be able to conclude directly.

After preparing a conclusion report and making a formal appearance in the Capital, he would be able to formally wear the Jieqing hat.

A 35-year-old Jieqing professor, his future was limitless.

This was actually to align with Qiao Ze's schedule.

After all, Qiao Ze intended to graduate with his Ph.D. in May, and as Qiao Ze's designated mentor, he couldn't let down his own student.

Just before this Spring Festival as well, Xu Dajiang officially submitted a proposal for the development of key disciplines at the School of Mathematics.

Once the new year passed, it would be time to divide the cake. The school's various policy supports for this year should at least double over last year to match the honors and achievements the School of Mathematics had earned.

In short, for many at Xilin University of Technology, the year 2023 had been a bountiful one.

...

The third day of the Lunar New Year, Xiyuan Community at Xilin University of Technology.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV, serving only as background noise.

Having snatched a brief moment of leisure, Su Lixing was fiddling with a model in his room early in the morning, one that Ms. Su had brought from Linhai on special request, while Ms. Su and Su Mucheng sat lazily on the couch, each playing with their phones and chatting sporadically.

"Oh, something just occurred to me. What did Scholar Sheng mean yesterday when he specifically came to ask you to persuade Qiao Ze to do some interpretation of what's this new algebra about?" Ms. Su asked casually.

"It's because Qiao Ze has come up with a new mathematical formalism and used this method to calculate a solution to the Yang-Mills Equations. But Qiao Ze hasn't provided a detailed public explanation of this new mathematical formalism. It's not just Scholar Sheng who's been looking for Qiao Ze; a lot of people have approached him recently."

Su Mucheng replied offhandedly.

She had actually seen numerous emails about this topic in the research institute recently, which she inadvertently noticed pestering Qiao Ze about this issue, and it even made Su Mucheng somewhat irritated.

Ah, why can't these people just understand the new algebra from the paper?!

"But why? Scholar Sheng isn't even in mathematics. Isn't he from the Academy of Engineering doing physics research? Why does he need to find Qiao Ze?"

"Physics research also requires mathematics as a tool! When you studied circuits in high school, calculating the current and voltage, wasn't that all done with mathematical formulas?"

"Ah... I've forgotten everything I learned in high school. By the way, don't mention this to your father. When I first took a fancy to him, it was because he was a top student. Back in our days, it was already quite impressive to be pursuing postgraduate studies."

"Hmm... Why shouldn't I mention that to him?"

"Because all these years, he's always believed that it was love at first sight between us, and love at first sight would have to be based on appearances. He always thought he was handsome and very charming when he was young. In reality, he was skinny as a rail back then, not good-looking at all, and quite clumsy with words. Considering how well he's taken care of us over the years, I wouldn't want to burst his bubble about his fond memories of youth."

"Uh... Mom, if that's the case, wouldn't you say Qiao Ze is even more handsome than Dad was when he was young?"

"I can't really comment on that, but back then, there were no scholars specifically seeking out your dad at home."

"Does that mean my taste is better than yours?"

"You're still young! Whether it's good or not, we should at least wait until you've reached our age to say. But from what I see, Qiao Ze is not bad. It's true, he speaks very little, but he speaks even less to others. However, I'm afraid that if Qiao Ze becomes more famous later on, there might be other women who will try to get close to him. You'll need to keep an eye on that."

"Mom... What are you talking about? Qiao Ze is definitely not that kind of person. Even if someone tried to get close, he'd just shoo them away."

"I believe that. But what if another woman has no shame? Ah well, let's drop it. Anyway, people are coming to our door looking for him, and still, Qiao Ze doesn't want to make the interpretation of that new algebra public? You plan to persuade him?"

"Qiao's really busy, you know. Where does he have the time for that?"

"Busy with what?"

"I don't really understand either. The stuff he researches is stuff ordinary people simply can't understand."

"Didn't you choose mathematics as your major? You can't understand it either?"
