Qiao Yu raised his finger and pointed at himself, and said aggrievedly: "You are happy, do you know how much training I received today? I advise you not to go to Director Tian today, and apply with your essay tomorrow Graduate, otherwise you will have to be punished!"

Chen Zhuoyang wanted to suppress the smile on his face, but he couldn't help it. This good news made him unable to control the expression on his face at all. It can only be said that not only is the IQ of an honest person a little lower than that of a genius, but his acting skills are also a lot lower.

.

"Thank you for your hard work, little junior brother! Senior brother, there is not much else to say. If there is any need for senior brother in the future, senior brother will never give up!"

After hearing this, Qiao Yu nodded and suddenly said: "There is really something that I need to trouble my senior brother. I want you to help me inquire about someone, but for the time being, I must not let anyone know that it was me who inquired. Is there any problem?

"

Chen Zhuoyang nodded without hesitation: "That's certainly no problem, junior brother. But who do you want to inquire about?"

Qiao Yu lowered his voice and said: "There is a professor at Berkeley named Professor Frank. His previous Chinese name seemed to be Feng Yu. Anyway, I want to know any information about him."

"Huh? I seem to have some impression of the professor you mentioned. If it is the same person, it would be easy to find out the information. He has a good reputation in the circle of Chinese mathematics students studying abroad. They say he has no pretensions and is approachable. Could it be that he

Offended you?"

Chen Zhuoyang asked in surprise.

Qiao Yu ignored his senior brother's question, but looked curious and asked, "Senior brother, have you heard of this professor who cares about China? Has Professor Frank ever been to Yanbei?"

Chen Zhuoyang shook his head and said: "That's not true. Aren't I in charge of academic conferences in the research center? We hold a lot of conferences and lectures, and I usually come into contact with a lot of international students, and our Yanbei University is already

We go out and communicate more frequently.

There are only so many good professors in the Chinese mathematics community from prestigious foreign universities, such as the two Professors Zhang from Princeton and Harvard, Professor Tao from the University of California, a few from Yanbei University, and this Professor Frank.

When students go out for exchanges, they often compare these professors. Anyway, everyone's evaluations of this professor are pretty good. He belongs to the category of a humble gentleman."

Qiao Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Then it seems I've entrusted the right person! I'll leave this matter to Senior Brother Chen. By the way, you can be more focused when asking. For example, Professor Frank is so powerful, and

A modest gentleman, wouldn't he be admired by some female international students?

"Ah?" Chen Zhuoyang was stunned.

Qiao Yu patted Chen Zhuoyang's shoulder and said seriously: "Brother Chen, we are our own people, right?" "That's for sure."

"Then don't ask me why! Just help me find out. In short, this matter is very important to me. And, I must not let anyone know for the time being." "Huh..." Chen Zhuoyang took a deep breath.

, looking into Qiao Yu's eyes, he didn't ask any more questions, but seriously promised: "Okay! I promise!"

..

After sending Brother Chen away, Qiao Yu returned to his room and began to search for information about Professor Frank on the external Internet through the omnipotent Google. In order to facilitate academic research, the research center provided a dedicated VPN, which made using Google easier.

Very convenient.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu was searching for the life of a mathematics professor, so there would be no misunderstanding.

The almighty Google is very powerful, and Qiao Yu soon saw the graduation photo shared by Professor Frank on Instagram when he was studying at MIT in his twenties. He was wearing a bachelor's uniform, looking youthful and wild. Yes, it was wild. , it’s not that I used the wrong word, it’s mainly that the word romantic has a positive meaning and Qiao Yu doesn’t want to use it.

But don't say it, don't say it. What Qiao Xi said is absolutely correct. When he saw it, he could recognize the right person at a glance! So you can't judge a book by its appearance... Who dares to believe that such a handsome and handsome appearance is behind the scenes? How can one hide a black heart?

Most mathematicians' hearts are a little dusty and dirty at most. But Qiao Yu felt that this mathematics professor's heart was probably full of rancid smell. To put it simply, his heart was broken.

While searching for information on Google, Yuan Zhengxin had already sent Professor Pan’s number. Qiao Yu immediately added Professor Pan as a WeChat friend and started chatting happily.

Naturally, it starts with asking questions.

As for math problems, Qiao Yu can ask a bunch of quality questions at will. After all, a math genius not only knows how to learn, but also knows what kind of questions are valuable and worth asking, and the professor also likes to answer them.

Don't underestimate this ability.

Questions raised at the mathematical level can often truly reflect the level of mathematicians. For example, those familiar mathematical conjectures are all raised by truly high-end math players.

I asked questions humbly, studied hard, and had a good relationship with my grandfather, and took advantage of his age to express some curiosity about the scientific research work of the mathematics team. For example, how do so many people study the same problem? How to communicate?

Soon, the two became familiar with each other.

In the process of humbly asking for advice, Qiao Yu found out many messy things.

The most valuable piece of information is that this wife’s father is a well-known physicist, and her grandfather is a Fields Medal winner and an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, and that grandfather is also active in the forefront of mathematics.

I just don't know if this old gentleman's heart is good or not, and whether he will be angry with this incompetent grandson-in-law in the future. But it doesn't matter, he is not his wife's grandfather anyway.

And Qiao Yu feels that he is really gentle. The other person wanted his physical life more than ten years ago, but now he just wants the other person's academic life. Really, Qiao Yu feels that compared to his grandfather, he is simply a Great good man!

Knowing how hard it was to learn about Professor Frank's life on the Internet and WeChat at the same time, Qiao Yu also downloaded all the professor's public papers from the beginning of his Ph.D. to the present, without missing a single one.

He even went to ArXiv specifically and downloaded all five papers that proved the geometric Langlands conjecture. He had to spend time reading these papers carefully.

If there is a problem, look for it. If there is no problem, of course you must find a way to find the problem.

After all, for a professor who has longed for the Fields Medal, it would be somewhat unjustifiable if all the articles were flooded with coverage. It is natural to be questioned. Qiao Yu always believes that no matter how good a person's reputation is, he still has potential enemies. of.

It's just that many people are concerned about their status and don't dare to come forward, but if someone really starts the conversation, someone will naturally follow quickly. Especially this kind of mathematician who has academic power behind him and wants to compete for the Fields Medal.

The more high-end the award, the more intense the competition, right? They are all gangsters, who can be kinder than whom?

By the way, Qiao Yu also searched for the mathematics team of Professor Frank's wife's grandfather, and downloaded all the papers of all the professors in the team. The legendary academic power, maybe he can really make his own professors The fruits of this are taken away from cultivating a grandson-in-law.

Therefore, professors with similar research directions to Professor Frank are all Qiao Yu's current focus.

The person in charge of the Yanbei International Mathematics Center is his own teacher, a mathematics team led by a Fields Medalist. Most of the professors in it should be somewhat famous. It is normal to be invited to the capital to give a lecture, right?

Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise then?

In short, Qiao Yu, who is already very motivated at this time, has made full preparations and has many ideas in his mind, but it may take some time to realize them all. But Qiao Yu doesn't care, he is only sixteen years old, and his future is so long that he can't even see it. Not to the end.

But it's different on the opposite side. A thirty-four-year-old old man only has six years left to win the Fields Medal, and only two World Congresses of Mathematicians. At least Qiao Yu really feels that, at present, the advantage is In me!

The first step is to become the father of the opposite party, the second step is to give him a few slaps and let him try the frustration of being a son; the third step is to drive him out of the house directly to experience the dangers of society; the fourth step is to , inform the society that I don’t want this son anymore, so that they can be more sinister towards this disobedient child.
