Chapter 78: Chapter 70 The Smart and the Not-So-Smart! (6/10 for first order, seeking monthly pass)

Under the guidance of Li Jiangao, Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng signed their first contract with each other, while Xu Dajiang was enthusiastically entertaining guests from the Capital.

The world of adults was still a bit hypocritical after all.

When the people hadn't arrived, Xu Dajiang refused in all sorts of ways, wishing he could just send them back.

But when he actually met the professors from the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Institute at the station, Xu Dajiang's enthusiasm was so great that his face was all wrinkles with smiles.

It was impossible to tell that the smile was forced.

"Professor Zhang, hello, hello, welcome, welcome! I'm Xu Dajiang from the Xilin Mathematics Institute."

"Director Xu, I've heard much about you. Let me introduce you, these two are my colleagues who have come to your school for research, Qian Yuhai and Lu Changzheng."

"Professor Qian, Professor Lu, welcome to both of you."

...

After a round of superficial pleasantries that were barely substantial, Xu Dajiang took the three professors, who had specifically come from the Capital, onto the car provided by the school.

By the time they reached the school, the school leaders had already prepared a dinner.

The Vice Chancellor in charge of teaching, Zheng Luhua, was present to accompany them personally.

Several senior professors from the mathematics department were also waiting in the private room.

After another round of implicit flattery, everyone finally took their seats.

Seizing the local specialty Xi Shisan, which had been prepared in advance, Zheng Luhua planned to pour wine for the guests.

"Today we invite the three professors to try our Xilin specialty. It's not much of a fine wine, but it's quite famous locally."

It could even be said that Li Jiangao had already begun to re-plan his life.

Because rationally, Li Jiangao had finally realized that the mathematical community didn't really need him, an assistant professor, to engage in any profound research.

In the future, the papers he wrote were likely to occupy some public storage space, waste some paper, and perhaps earn 2 or 3 citations a year, without making any positive impact on the development of world mathematics.

Therefore, he would rather focus his main effort on researching teaching methods and serving students well.

Especially starting by serving Qiao Ze well.

Yes, Li Jiangao felt that a mentor should have the dedication of a mentor.

He couldn't let miscellaneous things delay a student's research work.

So he volunteered to undertake a series of preparatory work for projects.

Such as helping Qiao Ze write project plans, renting reliable servers, looking for companies that provide supercomputing to buy computing power as needed, recruiting staff, holding regular group meetings, assisting Qiao Ze in summarizing various project reports, weekly reports...

This would minimize Qiao Ze's involvement in other minor details, saving more time to dedicate to research for the project.

Li Jiangao even felt a bit excited.

To know, the most well-funded project he had led at Xilin University of Technology over the years was only 150,000. .net

This time it was a big project worth 2 million.

And the first step in doing all these things was recruiting.

...

"The main reason I've called you in today is that one of my students is going to work on a project, and I want to see if you're interested. The goal of the project is to develop a decoupling framework using Group Theory, and what you need to do is to cooperate with me and the project initiator to complete the assigned tasks. Such tasks include testing, debugging, recording data, and so forth."

"Another thing is, if during the progress of this project you have any insight that could help you define the direction of your thesis. That's also why I didn't call your senior classmates, as you know, they are already preparing their thesis."
