Tian Yanzhen was not wrong about Qiao Yu at all. This guy is a person who is very good at enlightening himself, or in other words, very good at reconciling with himself.

Yes, in his life before he was eleven years old, Qiao Yu's grandfather told Qiao Yu what kind of man he should be through words and deeds.

For example, repay kindness with kindness and repay grievance with directness; for example, think twice before doing something and decide to take immediate action; for example, men should take on men's responsibilities, saving money is something women need to consider, and men should be responsible for making money; for example, responsibility only

For something worthwhile and...

Anyway, quite a lot.

It's all thanks to Qiao Yu's good memory, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to remember so much.

In the next five years of living independently, Qiao Yu learned to be good at reconciling and compromising with his stubborn temperament when appropriate.

Generally speaking, a person who clearly knows his own advantages will be very competitive, while a person who clearly knows his own shortcomings will be terrible. Qiao Yu has both.

Therefore, his competitiveness is really strong, and for his enemies, he is actually quite scary. People with good memory remember kindness and hatred.

After many people come into contact with Qiao Yu, they will think that this child is a person with high emotional intelligence. If he is willing, he can make everyone around him feel like a spring breeze. But in fact, everything is an illusion.

Separating IQ from EQ is actually a very funny thing.

Because people with high IQs can easily be backward compatible. It just depends on whether these people with high IQs are willing to accommodate themselves downwards. Just like when Qiao Yu was in Class 13, he could easily get along with his classmates and also

Can have excellent popularity.

This depends on strong observation and empathy.

Show yourself when you should show off, and hide your clumsiness when you should hide it. When you satisfy the self-esteem of your classmates, you can also gain friendship. For Qiao Yu, all these behaviors are subconscious actions to maximize interests based on logic and rational thinking.

.After all, he has a family to support.

This can be seen when the two eldest brothers in Class 13 argue about who invites Qiao Yu to go online more often.

Some people are like this. They clearly take advantage of the other person and make the other person feel like a spring breeze. I wish this person could make more money. In Qiao Xi's words, Qiao Yu has engraved rational calculation into his bones. What he lacks most is sincerity.

.

It's just that Qiao Yu hid this very cleverly.

He carefully hides his pride and looks harmless in front of everyone. He uses his occasional small pride to hit those close to him to maintain his innocent persona.

This way of dealing with others that maximizes strengths and avoids weaknesses has become almost instinctive for Qiao Yu.

Therefore, although there has been little progress on the two-dimensional generalization of Chevalet's theorem during this period, Qiao Yu is not in a hurry. He will carefully record the results of each failed attempt and then send it to Professor Li via email.

He will also attend the meetings of the research group on time. However, in every meeting, he has a strong idea in mind and will not overwhelm others. After all, it is their project. He will wait until the three professors have finished speaking before he makes a speech.

. He very humbly put forward some of his whimsical opinions and suggestions, kept a very low profile, and was very polite and respectful to the three professors and even the other graduate students attending the meeting.

This also allowed Qiao Yu to quickly win the favor of everyone in the entire research team from top to bottom.

A sixteen-year-old kid has just made an achievement that can be said to be eye-catching in the world of mathematics. He is not proud at all. He respects the professors very much. It is really easy to get a good impression. The other one is good.

The news is that Tian Yanzhen also directly submitted his paper to Invent.Math for him. It has now passed the editing stage and has entered the stage of finding reviewers.

The only difference is that when submitting this time, Tian Yanzhen called Qiao Yu to the office and taught Qiao Yu step by step how to submit a manuscript. Including introducing him to how to use the different submission systems of the four top journals. Same as last time.

The difference is that this time Tian Yanzhen did not put Qiao Yu's paper on the pre-release website.

I gave a special lecture in Huaqing, and there were at least five world-renowned experts in the field in the audience. If this situation can still cause controversy in the academic world, then it will really have to turn the table. As for Yuan Zhengxin, there is another

He praised Qiao Yu fiercely.

There is no doubt that from the perspective of Mr. Yuan, Qiao Yu is not only talented, but also extremely motivated. No matter how impressive his achievements are, he has never slacked off. This attitude towards mathematics is even worse in the eyes of the old man.

Talent is more valuable. Love is doubled.

Qiao Yu may not realize it himself, but at this time he told Mr. Yuan that he wanted the soil on the moon, and Mr. Yuan decided to help him find a way. Anyway, after not making so many demands for himself, Qiao Yu felt

It was actually quite easy.

I was too lazy to stay in his hut every day. I studied the class schedules of various departments of Yanbei University every night. When I saw classes that interested me, I went to listen to them during the day.

It is not limited to pure science and engineering courses such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. He will also listen to the content of literature, philosophy, sociology, communication and law. But when it comes to the humanities field, Qiao Yu will look at the students'

Evaluated.

Specially select the kind of boss-level professors whose lectures are very interesting according to students' evaluations and do not follow the textbooks.

For this reason, Qiao Yu even bought two pieces of veteran cadre clothing online, just to look more mature. After all, he just wanted to hide in the corner and listen to the class quietly, and had no other purpose.

And his young and handsome face always brings him some trouble - such as being teased by Yanbei's seniors. Really, boys must learn to protect themselves when they go out. This has never been so obvious.

Qiao Yu also thought that after all, he was now a celebrity in the field of mathematics, so many people should know him.

After all, the photos of him and two math giants are widely circulated on the Internet.

But it is a pity that on the Yanbei University campus, apart from being recognized when attending classes in the two colleges of Mathematics and Physics, few people in other departments have recognized him.

This also made Qiao Yu realize that many times the omnipotent Internet seems to give people an illusion... They always feel that they are already a big shot, but in fact they may not be as famous as they think. Everyone

The influence of mathematics is probably limited, especially in mathematics, where it seems quite difficult to break through.

Of course, it may also be that his appearance is not very recognizable, he is just ordinary handsome and ordinary confident. At the end of April, the visa for France was also issued.

Speaking of visas, there is a small episode.

On the day of the appointment for the interview, Professor Zhou, who had obtained Qiao Xi's power of attorney, accompanied Qiao Yu.

When talking face to face with the visa officer, it was obvious that the other person had some doubts about Qiao Yu's age and asked a few questions in this regard. "Hello, what kind of visa are you applying for?"

Professor Zhou stood by and helped Qiao Yu answer: "My student was invited to Paris to attend the World Conference on Algebraic Geometry next month. He is one of the speakers invited by the conference."

The visa officer looked at Qiao Yu and asked, "Oh, you are invited at such a young age? Qiao Yu, can you briefly tell me the purpose of attending this meeting and the content of your report?"

Qiao Yu patiently replied: "Do you know about the geometric Langlands conjecture? Recently, a mathematician claimed to have proved this problem, but I found a small mistake. Then they invited me to explain the mistake."

The visa officer nodded and continued to ask: "In other words, the importance of your participation in this meeting is to correct a mistake. Do you think such a report is worth bearing all the travel expenses? In addition, have you considered staying in China? Continue studying mathematics in France?"

Qiao Yu became a little impatient and said directly to the visa officer: "That's alright, what kind of questions are you asking? Didn't you study mathematics when you were in college? Do you know if you proved a certain widely accepted theorem? is wrong, how many mathematics papers will be removed from the shelves?

Also, have you stayed in this house every day since you came to Beijing and never gone out? If your country hadn't produced mathematicians like Poincarais, Hilbert, and Gauss, this algebraic geometry conference would be just the right time. Over there, how much do you think I want to go to your place?

You can’t have some idea of ​​what Paris is like now? The Seine River is like that. I don’t even dare to drink your tap water when I go there. Are you still afraid that I won’t come back if I stay there? Isn’t this confidence a bit inexplicable? I Now I am a student at Yanbei University. My teacher is a Chinese academician. Why should I stay with you to study?

Look at the invitation letter clearly. I decided to go after being invited by the organizing committee! I won’t go unless I sign. Do you think it’s my loss? That’s a loss to the world of mathematics!” Really, after hearing Qiao Yu suddenly said such words. Professor Zhou Liang, who was accompanying him at the time, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and for a moment he forgot to explain.

Fortunately, the visa officer on the opposite side was just stunned, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head expressionlessly and began to check the documents silently. After a while, he said directly: "Okay, your information looks very complete, and the visa will usually be issued within a week. As a result, you will be notified when the time comes."

Qiao Yu immediately stood up, turned around and left.

Professor Zhou stayed behind and added: "Mr. visa officer, the geometric Langlands conjecture is an important issue in cutting-edge research in the field of mathematics. Qiao Yu's speech this time can be said to be of great significance to the field of mathematics. I suggest you You can contact the organizing committee of this meeting before making a decision.

In addition, all the expenses for Qiao Yu’s participation in the conference were fully borne by the Yanbei International Mathematics Center. The materials we submitted included relevant financial certification information.”

The visa officer raised his head and glanced at Professor Zhou, and replied with an expressionless face: "Please believe in my professionalism. Personal emotions will not affect whether the visa is approved, sir."

After walking out of the visa center, Professor Zhou couldn't help but start scolding Qiao Yu: "No, Qiao Yu, your temper came suddenly, didn't it? What did I tell you before I came here? Just tell the truth when the visa officer asks you.

Just answer it."

Qiao Yu immediately lost his rebellious look, raised his head, with a sunny boy's smile on his face, and responded: "Professor Zhou, you are right. But respect is mutual. That guy just now was too annoying.

I was angry. Even though it was written in the information that I was from Yanbei University, he actually asked me if I wanted to stay in France to study mathematics?

Think about it, doesn’t this look down on our Yanbei University? That’s why I’m so angry. How is our School of Mathematics at Yanbei University worse than those universities in Paris? Who gave him the face? Really, it doesn’t matter if he looks down on me.

But I can’t bear to look down on my future alma mater, Director Tian, ​​Mr. Yuan and you.

Whether you can attend the meeting or not is not a big deal, the face of your alma mater and tutors is the big deal!" Professor Zhou opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.

Forget it, he didn't bother to say anything anymore, it was really no big deal.

If your visa is really rejected, you can contact the organizing committee of the conference to explain the situation and think of a solution. If it doesn't work, France is one of the Schengen countries, so you will have to change planes... Anyway, Qiao Yu's mentor has great powers.

The most important thing is that after listening to Qiao Yu's explanation, Professor Zhou also felt that the question was a bit too much. And it probably offended the two bosses, Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin. Anyway, he reported the situation truthfully, and the two bosses

Even if I don't say it, I'm probably satisfied in my heart.

On the way back, Professor Zhou's biggest emotion was that young people today are so amazing.

Just as Lao Zhou imagined, he reported this matter to Tian Yanzhen on the phone. Tian Yanzhen just said lightly on the phone: "Haha, this kid has a pretty bad temper. It's okay. I should be able to get the visa."

Yes, I really can’t get through it, so I’ll ask again.” Then nothing more happened.

But on the third day, Professor Zhou received a call informing him that Qiao Yu's visa had been approved.

I went there again and got Qiao Yu's passport. When I saw the label on Qiao Yu's passport indicating the validity period and the number of entries, Professor Zhou was filled with emotion. I always felt that he applied for a visa when he was studying abroad.

Sometimes, my attitude towards the visa officer was a bit too reserved, and I was really not relaxed at all.

Of course, he didn't have such a powerful teacher at that time who could tell everything.

But then again, Qiao Yu didn't ask Academician Tian to help, so that was too much.

It seems that what this kid said is right, respect should always be mutual.

There is really no need to be too polite when you can't gain respect.

When Qiao Yu learned that the visa had been approved, he was listening to a class in the philosophy department of Yanbei University. After checking WeChat, he obediently put his phone back in his pocket and continued to listen to the class seriously.

This is a big class, an introduction to Chinese and Western philosophy, but there don't seem to be many students studying philosophy, so it can definitely be seen on the stage if you are not paying attention to the class. And to be honest, the visa has just been approved, so Qiao Yu doesn't feel too excited.

Having had the experience of standing on a podium to give a report, Qiao Yu knew very well that the instructor was standing on top and could see all the little movements of all the students below at a glance. It was clear at a glance whether they were listening to the lecture or in a daze.
To be continued...
