The generation should be a little stronger, right? With this understanding, won’t the confidence come back?

In fact, learning is just like going to work. It is difficult for people to feel happy. If they cannot get enough positive feedback from such activities, it will be difficult for people to persist.

Just like the reason why if the salary is 3,000 per month, no one is willing to work overtime; but if the salary is 3,000 per month, limited overtime is acceptable. Salary is the most obvious and directly quantifiable positive and negative feedback channel of work. Salary is something good

There are still opportunities for continuous improvement as experience increases.

But mathematics is really hard to say. It can only be said that interest is often temporary, but the impact is eternal, even throughout the life of a mathematician. Even a genius mathematician like Fermat raised a question

, all rely on humor to alleviate the embarrassment of actually being unable to solve this problem.

This is probably one of the reasons why academic circles set up various awards. As long as they make achievements, they will be recognized, so that mathematicians can grit their teeth and persevere. Maybe there is hope ahead?

Qiao Yu felt the same way. After gaining enough energy from all kinds of envy and hatred on Weibo, he felt a lot more relaxed when watching those obscure function videos, and his brain started to feel itchy. It feels like...he must be starting to grow a brain again!

He studied until ten o'clock in the evening and went to bed on time. The next day, Sunday, he could rest at home for a day. Qiao Yu also maintained the rhythm of continuing to study in the morning and then in the evening and answering questions in the afternoon. There was just a small episode in the afternoon.

The group of friends who had been quite quiet suddenly became noisy again.

Naturally, Yu Yongjun, who had finally been quiet all day, started to cause trouble, but this time Qiao Yu was not exempt from the blame, because this time Yu Yongjun directly cut off the content posted by Qiao Yu on Weibo. Picture, and then sent it to the group, and then started @ Chan Zhi Shi Xue.

"Yu Wei, don't pretend to be dead. Come out quickly and see what my boss is questioning you. Do you have anything you want to say to my boss? I'll give you a chance to say it out loud!" Qiao Yu saw this familiar Weibo message Interface, decided to withdraw one star from the five-star negative review given to Yu Yongjun.

Speaking of which, it's quite cool to have such a younger brother who doesn't want Bilian.

To do something that he wanted to do but was too embarrassed to do so grandly.

So although he noticed the movement in the group, Qiao Yu didn't say anything and decided to peek at the screen first.

Sure enough, after a while, Yu Wei was really blown away, but he still only said two words: "Retard!"

"Fuck you, Yu Wei, how dare you call my boss mentally retarded? @yushulinfeng, boss, it's really not me who started the trouble. Xiao Weizi dares to call you mentally retarded!" Ha...

He actually @ him, and Qiao Yu was too lazy to peek at the screen and replied: "Huh? Yu Yongjun, are you still on Weibo?"

"Haha, boss, I don't use Weibo, but I have a classmate who does. When she saw your Weibo, she took a screenshot and gave it to me. She also asked me who the third CMO was this time. Guess what? I I happened to have a sign showing Yu Wei eating in my phone, so I sent it to my classmate!"

"Are you two sick?" It could be seen that Yu Wei could not bear it anymore.

"Don't be angry, Xiao Weizi. The one who asked me for your photo is a female classmate. She's very pretty. You know, we have a lot of beauties during our double celebration. She even praised you for being a bit handsome, even worse than my eldest brother! That's right. , I even put in a good word for you! Tell her that except for your low IQ, you are good at everything! Wait a minute, I also have a photo of her and I will send it to you. "

Then this guy actually sent a photo of a beautiful woman, which was taken in the classroom. In the photo, the girl probably just found out that she was secretly photographed, and was about to suppress her smile. Although she did not apply makeup, her facial features were exquisite, her eyes were bright, her teeth were bright, and her smile was Ming Ming. The blame lies with you... But obviously Yu Wei was not bewitched by the beautiful girl and still grasped the key point: "Low IQ? So you are saying that the third place has a lower IQ than the 21st place?"

Yu Yongjun quickly replied: "No, I mean you have a lower IQ than the boss. Um? Are you comparing yourself to me? No, you forgot that you called me mentally retarded before... So you think you are better than the one? Is it honorable for a mentally retarded person to have a slightly higher IQ?" Obviously, Yu Wei is really good at laning, or maybe he can't be embarrassed. After all, his opponents dare to claim to be mentally retarded. Just in terms of comparing the lower limit, he is... We have lost, completely.

The only thing that Qiao Yu couldn't figure out was that Yu Wei was often frustrated in this group, but he could hold back and never quit the group. This perseverance was really powerful.

However, Yu Wei stopped talking at this time, so he could just fill in the gap.

"Huh? I actually have female fans? This is too fast. As expected, beautiful girls have bright eyes."

"Ah? Boss, do you like it? Do you want me to push her WeChat account to you? Her name is Shen Linlin, and she was the class beauty of my previous class."

For a moment, Qiao Yu shamelessly wanted to say, "Push the WeChat nameplate over here," but before he could move his hand, the image of Xia Keke staring at him with a plaintive expression suddenly popped into his mind, and then he suddenly felt his mood waning. .

So I casually replied: "I just complimented her on her good taste. I have a girlfriend and she is the school beauty."

After replying this sentence, Qiao Yu planned to log out of WeChat and start answering a few questions.

Who knew that Yu Wei, who had been hiding just now, appeared again.

This time he also posted a photo of a character. The girl in the photo has the beauty of a princess in a fairy tale.

Then he said coldly: "She is chasing me."

The little boy's inexplicable desire to win confused Qiao Yu.

"Ahem, please pay attention to some people. A yellow card warning. We are a study group, discussing mathematical problems! It is not a love group, and it is not a CP group! So have you studied hard? You are chasing me all day long. I, I am chasing you, no wonder I can’t get full marks.”

"Heh... I'm sorry, it seems you were the first to say you had a girlfriend!" Yu Wei comforted him.

"Can the story between me and her be the same as your child's game of you chasing me and me chasing you?" Qiao Yu argued disdainfully.

"Haha... What difference does puppy love make?" Yu Wei asked his soul.

Qiao Yu felt that this was unbearable, so it was necessary to start making up a story.

After all, a man’s damn desire to win determines that he must never be overwhelmed by his imaginary opponent under any circumstances!

"Tsk, do you know why I chose to fail the high school entrance examination on purpose in my second year of junior high school just to avoid going to the best high school in Star City? It's because I know that falling in love early will delay my studies. In order for us to get together at the best university in China, so I deliberately got a low score.

In this way, when she is admitted to the best high school in Star City, she can study without any distractions! And in order not to delay her study, I chose to participate in the mathematics competition in Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, an ordinary middle school that none of you have heard of. I refused. Fall in love prematurely, so as not to delay your beloved, I am serious! Hey, forget it, my noble spirit of sacrifice and noble sentiments, it is impossible for a guy like you who is immersed in his own feelings to understand!

Obviously, one glance at the fake story will not impress Yu Wei.

"Haha, is it possible that someone is just okay in math but terrible in other subjects, so he can't even pass the general high school entrance examination?"

The debate finally entered the situation that Qiao Yu is best at. Qiao Yu stopped talking nonsense. He still kept the screenshot of the score check on the official account on his phone and sent it directly to the group.

"So you are questioning whether a top student who scored full marks in six cultural subjects in the high school entrance examination and only scored nine points in each place where he was born is not qualified to go to the best high school in the city? Well, Yu Wei, let me ask you weakly. Are the Chinese and English subjects of the high school entrance examination also full marks?

Aren't you the first to inquire about scores? Why don't you come to Star City to inquire about it? After the high school entrance examination that year, did the principal of our top high school in Star City cry and beg me to study in their school? But in order not to leave her with any unrealistic expectations Hope, that’s why I resolutely chose Tieyizhong, understand?!”

As soon as I finished typing this sentence and started talking about youth love, the enthusiastic little fat man who had been silent suddenly popped up again.

"Damn it, brother, it doesn't matter if you have good grades, but you can't still be a love saint! How can we play with you like this!"

Qiao Yu ignored the little fat man and waited for a few more minutes full of fighting spirit. As a result, Yu Wei was completely silent this time.

So Qiao Yu finally turned off his phone with satisfaction and returned to answering questions.

The establishment of this group back then was truly a stroke of genius. Every time he felt tired or exhausted, he could refuel here and regain a sense of motivation. In a sense, Yu Wei was simply his first foray into mathematics. Gas station. Of course, Qiao Yu at this time must not have thought that this is how many of the rumors in history actually came about!

The person involved was just bragging casually when he was young, but who would have thought that after becoming famous in the future, those bragging words would be recorded by someone with care? It’s as if Qiao Yu never thought of establishing any high-level status for himself. As for the character, he simply wanted to show off to the end in front of Yu Wei.

But unfortunately there are three people in the group! Things are unpredictable... Sigh.

There is really nothing to say about daily independent study life.

After returning from the winter camp, Qiao Yu resumed his regular daily life.

Go to bed at ten o'clock every night, get up on time at six-thirty in the morning, wash up, have breakfast, and clock in with the first-grade students before seven-twenty. Although Principal Zhang said hello, it doesn't matter if Qiao Yu comes late. Anyway, he will not disturb the normal teaching activities of the school.

However, Qiao Yu felt that there was no need to show privilege in such a trivial matter that would cause criticism, since it was not that he couldn't get up in the morning anyway.

Compared with those serious high school students, self-study class ends at 10:30 every night. If the homework is not finished, they have to continue to make up the homework when they go home. They have to arrive at school at 7:00 in the morning, and the early reading has officially started at 7:10. ..His sleep time is not only sufficient, but also abundant.

If you sleep well, your mental state will be better, and your efficiency will naturally be higher. At least you can gain something new every day. Naturally, you have not lost contact with Lao Xue.

Looking for a suitable opportunity, Qiao Yu told Lao Xue that he had decided to go to Yanbei University and had chosen a tutor. Qiao Yu could hear the news on the phone, and Lao Xue was very happy. When the winter vacation came, Lao Xue also brought him good news.

His paper has been reviewed by reviewers.

The editor of the journal found a total of four reviewers for him, three of whom gave him high evaluations and opinions that could be directly published. The other reviewer actually gave a positive evaluation, but he proposed Have some questions.

After Qiao Yu gave his answer, he also chose to pass. So now the paper is ready to be scheduled.

In fact, generally speaking, the more reviewers a journal editor looks for, it basically means that he is not so confident about the manuscript, or that the manuscript is too innovative and the editor is not sure about it. Qiao Yu is probably neither of the two situations. In the end, The main thing is that he is a pure newcomer in the academic world. You can't even find that kind of graduation thesis. It is normal for editors to be more cautious.

But the result was good, except that the time did stretch a little too long.

A paper that was not too long was reviewed from National Day to New Year's Day, almost before the winter vacation. This was indeed not very efficient. However, Lao Xue's words made Qiao Yu realize that this was probably the case. It's the norm.

"Actually, your review of this paper is not too slow. You must know that most of the reviewers work voluntarily for journal editors, and some professors have some quirks. They accepted the review task even though they had nothing to do. It will be thrown aside first.

It’s not because he has any conflicts with the contributor, or is deliberately making things difficult. I simply think that if he reviews the manuscript quickly, it will appear that he has no projects on hand and is too idle. In short, you may encounter any strange things in the review field in the future. Go up, just calm down and be at ease.

Of course, there is an exception. For example, if you write a paper that can make mathematicians around the world crazy, probably no one will neglect your paper in the future, and even the journal editorial department will actively ask you to submit the latest Submit your paper to them.

It’s just that great mathematicians who can reach this level are probably rarer than the national treasure. No, it should be said that they are rarer than giant pandas in China. You may not know that a great British mathematician claimed to have solved the Riemann Hypothesis in his later years. , God knows how many mathematicians have been driven crazy.

The end result was that he made a not-so-funny joke to everyone before he died. He died a few months after announcing the news. Really, if he had not announced his proof process at that time, he would probably have become another The mystery of the century like Fermat."

Anyway, when Lao Xue called him that day and informed him that the paper had been approved and the journal had started to schedule it, Qiao Yu felt a little strange. He always felt that Lao Xue was a little too excited and told him a lot of nonsense. of.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu felt that this was actually in line with his stereotype of Lao Xue. Although he seemed to be a cold and aloof professor, he actually talked a lot when the conversation started. He was also very courageous and dared to say anything. .In short, in a calm but exciting life, Qiao Yu ushered in the first long vacation of high school, and it was also his last long vacation in high school - the 2024 winter vacation!

Although the student status still needs to be retained in Tieyi Middle School for one semester, Yanbei University has already informed the school through the official level that Qiao Yu will go to the capital starting from the next semester, and this soon became known to the whole school. News. After all, this matter has its own uniqueness.

It is very common on the Internet for top students to be recommended to prestigious universities. Even in the first year of high school, they are guaranteed to be recommended to Huaqing and Yanbei. Although I don't know anyone around me, I have always heard of children from such and such families who have had this honor. But Qiao Yu

This time, the situation is different from other recommended students.

After all, universities usually accept recommended students in the new semester in September. I have never heard of anyone having to go to Yanbei University to enroll at the beginning of the spring semester. This seems to be the attitude of Yanbei University in seeking talents.

He was thirsty, as if he was afraid that Qiao Yu would be snatched away one semester late.

However, for Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, this is undoubtedly excellent news, and it is also an affirmation of the school's insistence on quality education. It is the kind of thing that is definitely worth writing about, so the school published a special article on this matter.

The colorful articles are simultaneously published on the school’s official account and education APP.

In fact, the general idea is to inform all students about Qiao Yu’s deeds, and then call on all students in the school to learn from Qiao Yu. As we all know, the first people to read such articles pushed by schools are never students, but the parents of those students.

them.

Railway New Village happens to have many families whose children are studying in junior high school at Tieyi Middle School.

As a result, the name Qiao Yu quickly spread in Tieyi Middle School. Even parents who were insensitive to these matters heard of this name. Then Qiao Yu naturally became the person in the name of the Railway New Village, and even in the mouths of parents in many communities five kilometers away.

Home children.

This is naturally a gratifying thing.

But not everyone is happy, such as classmate Xia Keke.
