Chapter 62: Chapter 61 Loopholes in Security Against Internal Threats but Not External Ones

As Li Jiangao fell into deep thought due to Zhang Chunlei's words, a mentor and his student at the University of Bonn, Germany were having a special conversation.

"Kori, this is a manuscript sent by 'Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications' for me to review, about constructing a self-supervised mathematical framework based on Group Theory. Take a look for me first and see if it's worthwhile, I've sent the paper to your email."

"Sure, Mr. Konett."

The young student casually responded before immediately dragging his chair to the other side, ignoring the supercomputer operation station, and started fiddling with the laptop he had left aside.

Ackerman Konett, who hadn't gone far, inadvertently looked back and saw this, shook his head subconsciously, and couldn't help but remind him, "I meant for you to glance over the manuscript between your normal tasks, not to drop everything and focus on this. I've never heard of the authors of this essay, hmm, a paper from Huaxia, you know. There's no rush to read it."

"I know what to do, professor, but you know this job is boring, right? Can't I change my mind? Maybe it's an interesting paper, my dear Mr. Chair." The young man shrugged in response.

Ackerman Konett shook his head helplessly again, and then left him to it, returning to his own office.

Forget it, he definitely won't haphazardly take on a friend's child as a student again.

Unless the kid's talent could completely overshadow the fellow's attitude.

Afterward, Ackerman Konett put the whole thing out of his mind.

After all, he was really busy.

...

In Huaxia, at Xilin University of Technology.

The next morning, Su Mucheng hummed a tune as she got up, stepping onto the balcony.

"Ah... Chengzi, off to meet up with your man again? Not even sleeping in on the weekend." Lu Dandan poked her head out of the mosquito net, yawning as she asked.

"Yeah, today we're having a very important lunch together, so this morning is quite important. I'm going to self-study. My Qiao Ze has set lots of study tasks for me!" Su Mucheng casually answered and then entered the bathroom on the balcony.

Another head from the opposite bed popped up, glanced at the balcony, then sighed, "Dandan, please don't talk about this with Chengzi anymore. I'm going crazy, it's only been a few days, and she's already openly talking about Qiao Ze. Chengzi's lovesick brain is truly hopeless!"

"Right? Who says it isn't?" After sighing, the head withdrew.

Though they voiced their sympathy, seeing their roommate bask in the joy of love every day, they felt a touch of envy and longing in their hearts.

After all, it's the age to enjoy the fantasy of how beautiful love can be.

They really wished to fall in love passionately, just like Chengzi!

But this sudden plan to conduct research completely disrupted Xu Dajiang's rhythm!

He had no choice but to tell the truth, after all, no one's a fool these days.

"The admissions office scouted a genius for our School of Mathematics. Those people from Yanbei say they come for research, but it's more likely they want to poach our talent!" Xu Dajiang said straightforwardly.

"Really, Xu, aren't you overthinking it? It's just one student, and no matter how talented, what difference would it make? Is Yanbei University short on geniuses? Missing that one or two that you'd fight over?"

"Heh, what if the genius is already performing at a level not too far behind our professors, even before attending any official classes? How about this? You just return a call to that person surnamed Xiao, and tell them that Qiao Ze has already been sent back to Xingcheng, and won't be at the school next week, see if they change the timing of their survey.

If not for that student, why would they bother with a research visit? To listen to us spout nonsense and flatter them?"

Xu Dajiang retorted irritably.

This left the person on the other end taken aback.

Not a peep for a long while.

After all, it was indeed an anomaly.

For Yanbei University to make such a fuss over one student under the guise of research was a bit much.

After a long pause, a tentative voice came from the other end, "Is this kid really that incredible?"

"Let's put it this way, he's even more amazing than you can imagine. Here's the thing, the school keeps causing us troubles on top of troubles! The admissions office scouted him with difficulty, and we had promised to give him financial aid because he's poor, yet you guys are still holding it up, making me, with my old face, beg them!

I could have let that go, but now that they're openly poaching, can't you be a bit tougher? It really seems like you can't stand to see our School of Mathematics do well, right?"

Xu Dajiang was venting furiously.

After all, who wouldn't be angry?

It was only because Qiao Ze's enrollment issue was almost sorted out.

If that wasn't the case, Xu Dajiang might have already stormed into the school office in a rage.

"Is that really happening? That's a rare sight! But what's this about withholding financial aid? Heh... that's quite odd. To think so much has been happening recently and I didn't know about it.

Hmm, nice, seems like your security is tight internally but not externally, right?"

This retort was on point, leaving Xu Dajiang speechless in an instant!

Fuck, what bad luck!
