Chapter 50: Chapter 49 This Must Be Because the Enlightenment Education Was Not Done Well
From Su Mucheng's reaction, Qiao Ze suddenly realized something.
After pondering for a moment, he quickly wrote an equation on the paper and asked, "When you see this equation, can you imagine its geometric figure?"
Su Mucheng nodded and said, "Two intersecting lines, right?"
Qiao Ze nodded, then wrote another set of equations on the draft paper.
Su Mucheng still answered instantly, "This is a symmetrical wave pattern."
For the third one, Su Mucheng thought for about ten seconds, "Two irregular surfaces intersecting at point X."
Qiao Ze nodded again.
But with the fourth one, Su Mucheng thought for five minutes and only concluded that it represented two hexahedra with Qiao Ze's hint.
The fifth, the sixth... left Su Mucheng completely baffled.
She could only use her soft, endearing big eyes to look pitifully at Qiao Ze, while pouting her lips.
Well, if intelligence isn't enough, cuteness will do the trick.
Qiao Ze said sulkily, "It seems you can't envision the three-dimensional projections of high-dimensional geometric figures. Is this ability not something everyone possesses?"
"Really? Did you used to think that anyone who sees these sets of equations can immediately imagine the corresponding geometric figures in their mind?" Su Mucheng asked in surprise.
Qiao Ze nodded and said, "I thought anyone with normal intelligence could do it, I've been able to since sixth grade."
Su Mucheng blinked but didn't seem the slightest bit discouraged. On the contrary, her eyes were brimming with mirth.
See, she knew she had stumbled upon a treasure!
"Qiao Ze, you're right, people with normal intelligence should be like that! But you're a boy, and I'm a girl, it's normal for my spatial imagination to be weaker than a boy's!"
Qiao Ze scratched his head.
That statement from Su Mucheng was less believable.
The School of Mathematics at Westwood University of Technology wasn't particularly strong, only relative to other majors and compared with other top universities in Huaxia.
After all, it was one of the barely thirty Double First Class universities in Huaxia with independent enrollment rights; its status was there!
Since Su Mucheng managed to get into the University of Technology and even maintain the top score in the School of Mathematics foundational class for an entire academic year, outperforming all the boys in the basic mathematics class, her intelligence couldn't possibly be an issue.
But she was willing to try!
And she was so cute!
According to legend, cute girls never have too bad luck!
...
Xingcheng.
Yu Chenggong had just arrived in Xingcheng and was about to go to lunch when he received a call from Zhuo Wenyu.
"Director Zhuo, yeah, what? Rush to sort out Qiao Ze's records? Why are you changing ideas every day? Didn't you just tell me to wait yesterday?"
"Oh, Dean Xu visited you again? What? Qiao Ze's capabilities scared Dean Xu? Wow... how frightening must that be? Scared the dean of an institute?
Doesn't that mean I've performed a great service?"
"No, no, no, look at what you're saying. How could I possibly be eyeing your position! I'm actually quite happy being an admissions officer. Sure, I do travel a bit too often, but my wife and kids are used to it. If I were home every day, they would actually find me annoying. Haha..."
"What?! No way, you're joking with me, right? I just got lucky, and I owe it all to Professor Li!"
"Alright, don't tempt me with false promises. Rest assured, I'll handle this matter thoroughly and properly, from start to finish."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Chenggong was also fired up.
From the conversation with Zhuo Wenyu, it sounded like the director had heard some news and it was certain that a position would open up next year, and after leaving, he planned to recommend Yu Chenggong for the role of head of admissions.
He was also told he had struck lucky by unearthing a talent like Qiao Ze at a critical moment, and although promoting him used to be somewhat difficult, now the chances of success were over eighty percent!
This...
Although he claimed not to mind traveling, Yu Chenggong was still in his forties.
Who wouldn't prefer a nine-to-five job, lounging in the office when it's quiet, supervising people working overtime when it's busy—instead of running all over the world!
Now the opportunity was right in front of him, merely a hand's reach away; if he didn't seize it, he might as well change his name to Yu Shiba (Yu Failure)!
With these thoughts, Yu got so excited that he wasn't even hungry anymore!
He quickly picked up the phone: "Hello, Zhou, I'm back again! Do you remember that kid you asked me about last time? Haha, yeah, it's Qiao Ze! The school is already preparing to transfer his files. I'll head to your institute shortly!
"Haha, I should be the one thanking you for introducing such a fine prospect! Here's what we'll do, we'll meet at Cuiwei Residence tonight, I'll pick up Qiao Ze's mother, and I'll host! Let's have a good talk about this!"
