Chapter 419: Chapter 142: On the Generalized Modal Number Theory Axiomatic System in Multiple Transcendental Spaces
After this meal, Qiao Yu took Qiao Xi to play in Beijing for three days. Then Qiao Yu was informed that he couldn’t return to Star City this summer vacation.
Because next, Tian Yanzhen invited Professor Zhang Yuantang from the University of California, Santa Barbara to give a lecture.
For Qiao Yu, who is determined to solve the Twin Prime Conjecture, this lecture is certainly not to be missed.
Besides, at the end of August, there is also a Natural Science Foundation research review meeting, which Tian Yanzhen hopes Qiao Yu can attend to broaden his experience.
Going home in this situation is just a waste of time. So going back, it could only be Qiao Xi and Xia Keke.
Elder Yuan asked Qiao Xi to report to Huaqing in mid-September.
Unlike Qiao Yu’s situation, Qiao Xi might enroll in Huaqing through a 3+2+3 system.
So she needs to return to Star City to prepare a series of documents and corresponding evidence.
Then come to Huaqing and honestly follow the basic courses with the leading class, because Qiao Xi’s foundation in Advanced Mathematics is slightly weaker than Qiao Yu’s.
However, in Elder Yuan’s view, these are trivial matters, merely a matter of the lecturers and professors giving her extra guidance.
Elder Yuan believes those professors will be very happy to do so.
In engineering disciplines, not only are there fewer female students, but also fewer female professors. Qiao Xi is very beautiful and has an indescribable temperament, which according to Tan Lu Yuan, is like a star.
Yuan Zhengxin is even worried that after Qiao Xi comes, she might stir up feelings of love among the young, unmarried or even married professors.
The excellence of some people requires deep understanding to be recognized. But the excellence of others is apparent at first sight. It’s unfair, but that’s how it is, the world has never been truly fair since society was born.
At the age of 34 in the field of mathematics, from a research perspective, it’s not young anymore, but in terms of age alone, it’s actually not that old.
Even Ph.D. students who haven’t graduated by this age are not uncommon; Huaqing has existing examples.
Even if Qiao Xi has a child who is Qiao Yu, this is even considered a bonus.
Elder Yuan even feels he must keep an eye on Qiao Xi, making sure those professors with many ideas stay away from her.
…
As for Qiao Yu, if it weren’t for Elder Yuan bringing Qiao Xi to Huaqing, he would probably have mildly resisted Tian Yanzhen’s arrangements.
Finally getting to summer vacation, yet not being allowed to go home, is a bit too much. Even the donkey working in the production team needs proper rest, right?
However, considering Qiao Xi will be coming to Beijing in September, and they could see each other every day after that, the restlessness in the young man’s heart was soothed.
Forget it.
If he can’t go back, then so be it. Anyway, he isn’t the only one who can’t return to the Mathematical Research Center.
Qiao Yu felt it was nothing, but the most frustrated was Xia Keke.
On the last day of the summer camp, Qiao Yu took Xia Keke to visit Elder Yuan again.
To be fair, Xia Keke performed quite well. But with Qiao Xi as a jade example in front, she seemed a bit ordinary.
So Elder Yuan just encouraged her a bit.
Basically meaning she should focus on her studies and participate in the college entrance examination. But she doesn’t need to fixate solely on mathematics, or mathematical research.
It’s understandable.
After a mentor has been spoiled, there’s a tendency to overlook children with slightly less talent. After all, ordinary cleverness and genius-level cleverness are two different smarts.
If one must explain, perhaps it’s that the former’s ceiling can roughly be estimated, while the latter’s ceiling cannot be predicted at all.
Elder Yuan even mumbled at the farewell that Qiao Xi wasted over ten years. If she had met him ten years earlier, her achievements now would probably be limitless.
Qiao Yu loved hearing this. However, even if you push another decade forward, Qiao Xi would only be forty-four. Qiao Yu felt she actually is still quite young.
As for Xia Keke, she was probably shocked.
She could understand Qiao Yu not taking the college entrance exam and getting pre-admitted to Yanbei University. But she didn’t expect her Aunt Qiao could also be pre-admitted to Huaqing University, and even accepted as a student by Elder Yuan…
It was as if her young views were completely overturned.
She knew Aunt Qiao was remarkable, but never expected her to be this remarkable.
The only pity was that Qiao Xi repeatedly instructed her not to tell anyone about this matter for the time being.
She could only keep it to herself, which made Xia Keke feel terrible. Not telling Mr. Yang who came along was understandable, but Qiao Xi even asked her not to tell her own parents for the time being…
Fortunately, Xia Keke didn’t have to keep it bottled up for too long.
After returning to Star City, it wasn’t long before this matter inevitably spread out.
It’s impossible because the procedures for adults to enroll aren’t as simple as for current students.
She needed to deal with the community and various administrative departments in the jurisdiction, such as the district education bureau, the police station, and even handled some procedures at Qiao Xi’s high school alma mater.
Thanks to Qiao Yu’s reputation, Qiao Xi happens to be a celebrity in the vicinity, and the top officer of the district education bureau happens to be Principal Zhang who just got promoted from Xingtie First Middle School…
So, even though Xia Keke kept her mouth shut during the summer vacation and felt uncomfortable, Old Xia and Liu Lu still learned about the news from others.
There were too many sources of information.
…
“Keke, is it true that Qiao Yu’s mother is going to Huaqing to study? Did you know about this?”
“Oh, how did you guys know that?”
“I heard it from your Aunt Wang while on duty. She also said it was spreading all over the Railway First Middle School parents’ group.”
“Haha, I knew it. Of course, I knew. I not only knew Aunt Qiao was going to Huaqing to study but also knew that Academician Yuan was going to take Aunt Qiao as a student.”
