Zuo Chengzheng, upon seeing Qiao Ze, no longer felt any fatigue, because he thought that today's conversation would certainly have the opportunity to be recorded in the annals of history.
At the very least, when he wrote his memoirs in the future, today's dialogue would definitely merit special mention.
Therefore, he had specifically chosen to wait directly outside in the morning instead of visiting the research institute because it seemed more legendary that way.
Why should these conversations be known to so many people?
"Good morning, Principal Zuo, have you had breakfast yet?" Su Mucheng greeted Zuo Chengzheng cheerfully as usual.
In reality, it wasn't just so others could get on well with Qiao Ze; it was mainly because seeing these big shots from the school specially waiting for Qiao Ze made her happy involuntarily.
After all, this meant that Qiao Ze was getting more recognition.
Qiao Ze just nodded as usual, since he wasn't very familiar with Zuo Chengzheng.
Zuo Chengzheng didn't feel offended, as it was well known that Professor Qiao wasn't very good at dealing with people he didn't know well.
"Why are you waiting here?"
"Haha, I heard in the Capital that Qiao Ze doesn't like strangers visiting his home, so I thought that you'd probably leave around this time. I decided to just wait here," Zuo Chengzheng said cheerfully.
This was the absolute truth.
Not long ago, a certain Principal Zhang went to Qiao Ze's house inexplicably, and it didn't end very beautifully.
Everyone is a vice-chancellor, and there are certain things that should be avoided.
"It's not that you're unwelcome. As long as Qiao Ze is home, he is very welcoming, right, Qiao?"
"Mhm," Qiao Ze responded casually.
From this, it was evident that Qiao Ze was doting on Su Mucheng, even willing to state against his feelings.
"Then I'm truly honored. Why don't we walk and talk?"
"Uh, Principal Zuo, if you're discussing official matters, should I listen? Or should I leave first?"
"No need, no need, there's nothing inconvenient about it. It's nothing serious. You're with Qiao Ze every day; there's nothing you need to avoid," Zuo Chengzheng said with a smile.
A historical conversation with a witness by the side seemed rather good.
More of a sense of ceremony.
Not many people knew about this conversation, but just as Zuo Chengzheng anticipated, its impact was extremely far-reaching.
At least for Huaxia's material industry, it was so.
And without an ounce of exaggeration, it was as if a deep-sea bomb had been dropped.
The moment it exploded underwater was not dramatic, but when its influence began to spread, it was Earth-shattering. It even silenced the most argumentative ones on the internet, leaving them unable to say things like, "I earn a monthly salary of three thousand; what does this have to do with me?"
But for Xilin University of Technology, its impact was likely limited to Xilin University of Technology's National Deep Sea Exploration Engineering Research Center being officially established at the speed of light.
It couldn't get any faster, mainly because the rules of the universe discovered so far still don't allow information to be transmitted faster than the speed of light.
This was indeed great news for Xilin. It was just like someone had commented before; it really was like picking up a major national research center.
But honestly, not everyone was happy.
For example, Xu Dajiang always harbored grievances about this matter.
The school was ultimately biased.
Just as the School of Mathematics was starting to show some promise, they made a capable member trained by the School of Mathematics deal with some messy matters.
Well, actually, it couldn't be considered messy, but for the School of Mathematics, it was more harm than good.
After all, a person's energy is limited.
If you devote extra energy here, you'll inevitably have to give up on other things.
As Xu Dajiang saw it, Qiao Ze was bound to become a founder in the field of mathematics; of course, he should focus his main energy on mathematical research. By about the time he retired, the renowned Xilin School should be able to call the shots in the international mathematics community.
Wouldn't that ensure him a main seat wherever he went in the future?
Not to mention the fact that for a long time, it had been the School of Mathematics providing financial and manpower Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
The school hadn't invested many resources and often did things that reduced their favor.
So comrade Xu was quite displeased.
Until this day, when Xu was invited to Principal Chen's office.
"What's the matter, Principal Chen?" Xu Dajiang walked into the office and sat down on the sofa nonchalantly, displaying his dissatisfaction fully.
For a workplace newbie, such an attitude should be avoided.
But for an administrative old hand like Xu Dajiang, who had no ambitions and even less desire to move on, this was basic operation.
Not slamming his hands on the principal's desk was already giving enough face.
"Haha, Old Xu, it's a happy occasion. And it's a double celebration," Principal Chen said smilingly, unconcerned about Xu Dajiang's attitude.
"Oh? Good things falling in my lap in this day and age?" Although his interest was piqued, Xu Dajiang's attitude didn't change much, because for an old hand like him, a leader's words are to be trusted at most halfway.
No, wait, even if you believe half of that statement, it seems like there is good news?
Could it be even more over the top this time, should these words be taken in reverse?
"Haha, alright, I know you've been feeling upset lately. But you'll definitely be satisfied with this. First off, Xi Lin Mathematics Institute's basic mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistical mathematics have all been recognized as national key disciplines. Additionally, the Qiao Algebraic Geometry Research Center, led by Qiao Ze, has been designated a national key research center for mathematics. How about that? Feeling better now?"
