In addition, what I want to criticize you, Teacher Chen, is that as a new lecturer, you must also show some serious attitude in important meetings on teaching.

You can’t just say you’ve been hired and relax your requirements on yourself. You should pay more attention during the next meeting and don’t focus on your mobile phone.”

After saying that, without giving Chen Zhuoyang a chance to refute, Dean Zhang continued to call the names: "Ji Taining, Teacher Ji, you can also say something."

"Okay, Dean Zhang..."

The meeting lasted for two hours. As soon as it was announced that the meeting was over, Chen Zhuoyang stood up and walked out of the meeting room without answering anyone.

Chen Zhuoyang was too lazy to pay attention to these people, and he was too lazy to do any face-saving work. Anyway, he had already finished his lesson plan, and he could just follow the class step by step.

Even if there are any problems, they will be adjusted based on feedback from students after teaching. During this period, he still plans to focus on Qiao Yu's project.

Now Chen Zhuoyang really feels that what Qiao Yu said is right. After all, he still has to have good grades to gain a firm foothold in college.

However, Chen Zhuoyang's actions were obviously a bit out of line in the eyes of some people.

"Nowadays, those born in the 1990s are really unique."

"Dean Zhang, Xiao Chen is Academician Tian's student after all, and he is still very good."

"The new teachers recruited this time are all very good, and I haven't seen anyone with as bad a temper as him. Besides, what happened to Tian Yanzhen's students? They haven't figured out those things yet, and they can still control us? Last time...

"

"Okay, Lao Zhang, some things can be said among ourselves behind closed doors. Do you really plan on letting others listen? Make it a fuss and make people laugh?"

"I'm afraid that the temple in our college is too small to support such a big Buddha."

"..."

The discussion did not continue. The logic followed was that although everyone was on one side, some people still thought this statement was stupid, so they did not want to continue the exchange.

But there is no way. If everyone can stay rational, there won't be so many contradictions in the world.

…

"Chen Zhuoyang, Teacher Chen."

Chen Zhuoyang, who had just walked out of the administration building, suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. He stopped, turned around, took a look, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Teacher Zhou, what's the matter?"

The teacher who stopped him was named Zhou Yang. He came to Jinzhou University three years earlier than him. He also graduated from Yanbei University, but he had a PhD from the School of Mathematics.

Although the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center is built on the basis of Yanbei University, the teaching resources of both parties are often common and even complementary to a certain extent.

However, there are still some differences between the training methods for PhDs in the Mathematics Research Center and those in the School of Mathematics.

For example, the Mathematics Research Center focuses more on cutting-edge theoretical research in pure mathematics, and often provides doctoral students with some international collaborative theoretical research projects, but rarely covers applications.

Yanbei Mathematics College covers a wider scope. It involves a more comprehensive field of mathematics, pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, computational mathematics... are all under its training.

This is why Chen Zhuoyang often regrets when he arrives at the Numerical Research Center.

If he did not do pure mathematics research, it would not be that difficult for him to switch to an applied field early and graduate with relatively good grades.

After all, the latter focuses more on calculation methods, numerical analysis and modeling techniques. He is less talented in mathematical intuition. At least he does not need to do too much original thinking.

"It's almost dinner time, let's go have a meal together. I know a restaurant that makes pretty good beef." Zhou Yang said proactively.

Chen Zhuoyang hesitated for two seconds. He originally planned to go back to his dormitory to sort out the verification work of the past two days and send it to Qiao Yu first.

But in the end, he nodded and responded with a smile: "Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhou."

Junior Brother's project has just started, and there is no shortage of time for dinner.

After all, it was obvious that there was a teacher in the college who felt uncomfortable with the fact that he was uncomfortable with him, and was willing to invite him to dinner. Chen Zhuoyang felt that it was worth getting in touch with him.

On the way to dinner, the two casually chatted about something, and soon the topic turned to today's events.

"Dean Zhang is not in the right mood today, but you don't need to take it to heart. Just do your job well."

"Teacher Zhou, did I offend Dean Zhang?"

"How could you offend him when you first arrived? You just can't express your anger." Zhou Yang smiled and said.

"Excuse your anger?" Chen Zhuoyang was a little surprised. This answer was something he didn't expect.

Zhou Yang explained: "I heard that Dean Zhang is a very promising student. He received CSC funding and went to the University of Leuven to study for a Ph.D. He has always wanted to rely on our school to apply for the Qianqing Project. This is the third time this year. Just two days ago. The results came out and he was killed again."

Chen Zhuoyang suddenly understood, and he probably understood the logic, and also understood why everyone's attitude had become so mellow in the past two days.

The "Qianqing" in Zhou Yang's mouth was the previous customary name, but in fact it has been changed to the Overseas Excellent Youth Project. The Natural Science Foundation of China is also responsible for the selection and implementation.

Generally, application materials are submitted at the beginning of the year and the results will be announced around September.

The most important thing is that this project generally only accepts three applications. If you fail to apply three times in a row, it is basically impossible.

Coincidentally, at least in the eyes of many outsiders, my own tutor is really qualified enough to determine whether an applicant in the mathematics track can get the project.

"Dean Zhang is so petty? Besides, if his student failed to apply for Qianqing, what does it have to do with me? It can't just be reviewed by my boss, right?" Chen Zhuoyang said speechlessly.

Zhou Yang patted Chen Zhuoyang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Haha, there are even smaller ones! You will know after you stay for a long time. In our school, we can only say that those who are capable are really capable, and those who are messing around are really messing around.

You will know after attending a few lectures. The professors who give good lectures are really great. I feel that I have benefited a lot from listening to them. As for the poor lectures, haha... In short, at least the teaching level of the professors is very polarized.

But there is nothing that Dean Zhang can do. Nowadays, there are more people in our college wearing hats. The Yangtze River, Outstanding Youth, and Excellent Youth have marginalized his department. Finally, he has a student who is okay, but he cannot be promoted.

As for the slogans shouted at the meeting, about developing the School of Mathematics to a top ten level within five years, just listen to it. This slogan started five years ago. But to be honest, there has been some development in these years."

Chen Zhuoyang heard a slightly complaining tone in Zhou Yang's mouth, but he just nodded and said with emotion: "Now that I think about it, I feel more comfortable staying in Yanbei."

Knowing why he was targeted today made him feel much better. At least it wasn't because he was born to be disliked.

"Haha, if I really want you to go back and continue studying for a Ph.D., you will definitely not want to. Here we are, this is Twelfth House. Their flamed beef cubes and mixed pork cheeks taste very good. You can try it later."

…

I had a meal with Senior Brother Zhou who came first for more than an hour. I drank some wine, not much.

Mainly just chatting.

After all, everyone is from Yanbei, so they are naturally close to each other. Chen Zhuoyang also learned a lot about things in the college from Zhou Yang.

For example, who has left the college over the years, who has come, what achievements has the probability team made, and so on...

No matter what Zhou Yang's thoughts were, Chen Zhuoyang was still very grateful. At least he not only solved his doubts, but also gained a deeper understanding of the working environment.

Seeing that he was almost done eating, when Chen Zhuoyang was about to say goodbye and go back to work, Zhou Yang asked: "By the way, your junior brother Qiao, has he embarked on a big project recently?"

Chen Zhuoyang nodded and said with some surprise: "You know everything?"

"It was all discussed in the meeting, how could we not know? I heard that it was withdrawn on its own initiative. If this is really criticized, I don't know what will be said. After all, your junior brother is only sixteen years old, right?" Zhou Yang said

sentence.

Chen Zhuoyang thought about Dean Zhang's attitude at today's meeting and nodded in agreement.

"Well, yes, but don't underestimate him. Let's put it this way, Qiao Yu has changed my perception of genius. Sometimes I feel that he is a little wronged to be my boss's student."

Chen Zhuoyang said what was in his heart casually, and then suddenly felt that his words were inappropriate, and quickly added: "I'm not saying that Director Tian is not qualified to teach Qiao Yu, let's put it this way, even Tao Xuanzhi is probably not qualified to teach

Qiao Yu."

The reason why Tao Xuanzhi was brought out was because Chen Zhuoyang happened to think of the screenshot of the email Qiao Yu sent to the group during the meeting.

This big boss wanted to find an intermediary to express his intention to cooperate with Qiao Yu, but he was ruthlessly rejected by his junior brother, which is enough to explain everything.

"Do you have such a high opinion of him? Is it true that the paper he published in Ann.Math, as well as his questioning and supplementation of the geometric Langlands conjecture, were really his own work?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.

Chen Zhuoyang nodded and replied: "I know you may not believe it, but it was really him who did it. Qiao Yu lived downstairs from me when I was still here. Really, I saw every move he made.

"

Zhou Yang immediately asked, "How is your relationship with him going?"

Chen Zhuoyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied: "It's not bad, I usually have more contact with him, and we often chat a few words."

"Then you must not cut off contact. Talk to Qiao Yu more in the future. If he has a project and is willing to take you with him, then your future development will be better than teaching here."

Zhou Yang sighed with emotion.

Chen Zhuoyang smiled and then nodded.

It seems that Senior Brother Zhou only heard that Qiao Yu applied for a key project and then withdrew it, and did not know about the members of the research team.

But this is normal.

It's normal for gossip to spread, but it's not normal for all the details to be revealed.

However, today's experience and this meal also strengthened Chen Zhuoyang's determination to hold Qiao Yu's thigh tightly.

Although my junior brother is only sixteen years old, he is respected by the strong in the field of mathematics, and he will not succumb to the strong.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhuoyang suddenly wanted to go back and work hard.

"Professor Zhou, why don't you come here today? The semester is about to start, and I have to prepare lessons when I get back. Now that Dean Zhang sees that I'm not feeling well, I can't let him catch any mistakes in class in the future."

"Okay, then come here and let's go."

A meal can be regarded as a feast for the host and the guest.

…

At Yanbei University, Qiao Yu is sulking.
