Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 340: Rushed April
Xu Qingshan was still thinking about how to recruit people from inside and outside the school to do work.

But the development of things was beyond his expectations.

April 1st, April Fools' Day.

The National Key Laboratory of Mathematics at Beijing University has issued a recruitment notice for Xu Qingshan's team in the Number Theory and Computational Science Department of the Key Laboratory of Mathematics and Applied Sciences of the Ministry of Education.

He is one of the few scholars in China who has built a research team from scratch in a top 0 university.

Other big guys who are able to become academic leaders basically come with their own teams.

This may not be big news for researchers and students in other scientific fields in China, but in the mathematics community it is like a new horn, sounding the dawn song of the birth of new forces in mathematical research.

Just on the third day after the job posting was published.

More than a dozen resumes were sent to the email address left by Xu Qingshan to be responsible for the operation of the research team, and these resumes did not look bad.

Basically, they are from top universities such as Peking University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Jiangdong University.

Among them are not only young doctors in their twenties and almost thirty, but also senior scientific researchers in their nearly forties, including a young domestic researcher who is an assistant researcher at Jiangdong University.

Xu Qingshan was still a little surprised when he saw these resumes.

Judging from their resumes alone, many of them have actually received good offers, and some have even obtained long-term employment at the schools where they work. They have been successfully working there for several years. According to Tian Gang, they are all accumulating experience in preparation for further evaluation of professional titles.

Now they are actually thinking of giving up their stable jobs and lives and coming to try their luck with young scholars like me?

Xu Qingshan originally thought that he would still have to worry.

Unexpectedly, I still have to worry, but the worry is now how to choose the most suitable candidate.

But before he had time to read all the resumes and essays of the applicants, he took a nap and found dozens of more emails in his mailbox.

And this time it’s not just domestic applications.

When Xu Qingshan opened his mailbox and saw the email title mixed with English, he knew that the news might have spread.

as predicted.

When Xu Qingshan opened his email, he found that his foreign academic friends had all sent him greetings.

Some people are concerned about whether Xu Qingshan will encounter obstacles in his doctoral studies and position at Beijing University, and whether he has considered changing jobs.

Some people were surprised that Xu Qingshan was still a freshman in college when they last met him. They were still planning how to bring Xu Qingshan in directly to study for a doctorate after graduation. But now some small news in the academic world has come out. You tell me that Xu Qingshan has become a doctoral supervisor directly at Peking University?
This move by Kyoto University is not only shocking in China, but also unique in the international environment.

Although there are many geniuses abroad, and some of them complete their undergraduate studies in one or two years and their doctoral studies in their twenties, there are not many institutions that will give such treatment before awarding a doctoral degree.

Jingcheng University is so cunning!

Before Xu Qingshan finished dealing with these emails, the phone rang again.

"Junior brother, you have already started recruiting people, why didn't you look for me first?"

Liu Ruochuan shouted loudly, seeming to be sad that Xu Qingshan did not consider him first.

"Brother, stop making trouble. Haven't you already signed with the school?"

Xu Qingshan was busy and exhausted. He put his phone on the table and quickly went through the emailed resumes and paper collections. He needed to quickly dig out the applicants' main focus and research habits from the submitted paper collections and personal resumes to avoid the appearance of some scientific research veterans and scammers.

"Yes, I have signed it, but I signed for a teaching position in the School of Mathematics, and I won't start work until next year. I have to choose a research position as well as a teaching position. I was originally thinking of signing with the International Center for Mathematical Research. Now that you have started a new direction, shouldn't I, as your senior, give you my full support?"

Liu Ruochuan explained his situation.

Xu Qingshan pondered for a moment.

If he is to be a deputy in the research team, it would be better if he is familiar with him. Moreover, Liu Ruochuan is from Peking University, is my senior, and is working with me. He also has international relations and international vision. There are not many people in China who can go to MIT, Paris VII University, McGill University, Princeton University, University of Michigan and other schools like him.

He has strong abilities, solid background, extensive international connections and is very successful.

Moreover, his personality is complementary to mine to some extent. Isn't he the chosen one?

"How about you sign me here, Senior Brother? If you come, you will definitely be the core member and deputy. As for the treatment, since we are both here, can Old Tian take care of us?"

Xu Qingshan thought about it and said it out loud.

"Since you have invited me so sincerely, I will agree with all my heart! The topic of the research group..."

"I'll work with you to get into Hodges first. After we've established some preliminary results, submit your research proposal and I'll go find the director of the laboratory. Who is the director now?"

"It should be Old Zhang, right? Professor Zhang Pingwen, he seemed to have just been promoted to deputy director when I graduated. Your Old Chen was the deputy director when I was studying."

"Okay, then I'll go find Lao Chen."

"Is it settled? Do it?"

"Do it!"

The two brothers discussed it and in a few words decided on such an important position involving a million-dollar salary, and even added a research direction.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Ruochuan went to write the application and a research plan outline that met laboratory standards, while Xu Qingshan went to find Chen Dayue for help.

Chen Dayue was still calmly drinking tea in the office. When he saw Xu Qingshan come in, his old eyes became so resentful that he was speechless.

"Shouldn't you be busy recruiting people now? How can you still have the leisure to come visit an unpopular old man like me?"

Look, see the meaning of this sentence.

Xu Qingshan laughed out loud for a moment.

"How can that be possible? No matter how busy you are, can you come and visit my mentor? Everyone knows that my mentor, Xu Qingshan, is Director Chen."

It was already April 2010, and Chen Dayue had already taken office as the director of the Institute of Mathematics. Lao Zong ran back to the School of Mathematics to continue teaching students.

Chen Dayue raised his eyebrows and almost slammed the table to scold Xu Qingshan. His flattery didn't hit the butt, but the hoof.

"How dare you tell me this, kid?"

Chen Dayue blew his nose and glared.

"Didn't we agree on this? I'll come to the Institute of Mathematics, and together we'll be invincible. But as soon as I got to the Institute of Mathematics, you turned around and ran away, right?"

Xu Qingshan, however, was smiling playfully. He had been with Chen Dayue, Liu Ruochuan and their gang for a long time. Whenever he was with them, he would naturally be assimilated into their ways.

"Old Chen, you know me well. If it weren't for Dean Tian and Dean Xu's arrangement, I wouldn't have thought of graduating from college so early! This Mathematical Research Institute is so great, small and cute."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. You must have something to do if you come to me today. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Chen Dayue looked as if everything was under his control.

Only then did Xu Qingshan tell Liu Ruchuan that he was planning to join his research team.

"Liu Ruochuan?"

Chen Dayue looked strange.

"You two are going to get together?"

"Ahem, Lao Chen, watch your words." "That's fine, but um... it seems quite interesting. OK, I'll send a message to Zhang Pingwen and make an appointment for you. I know the procedures, and you can give it to him after I've done it for you."

Chen Dayue pondered for a moment and said.

"Can I take it myself?"

Xu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and Chen Dayue gave him a blank look.

"Nonsense, we just happened to get to know each other. If you need to apply for any projects or achievements in the future, or go through any procedures, or recruit or fire people, you can just send a message to Zhang Pingwen after you get to know him. Do you really want to come to me every time you have something to do?"

Chen Dayue patted his desk, pretending to be angry, and pointed at his name tag.

"Look carefully, I'm the director of the Institute of Mathematics, not the deputy director of the laboratory!"

"If you want me to run errands, no problem, just contribute a paper to me!"

"A little later next time!"

Xu Qingshan chuckled and disappeared in a flash.

Chen Dayue sat in his seat and shook his head helplessly. He really had no idea what to do with this student.

Xu Qingshan probably didn't expect that just as he and Liu Ruochuan took action, the leaders of the School of Mathematics at Peking University already knew about his and Liu Ruochuan's plan.

I even went there to hold a small meeting.

However, these two young men had no idea what was being discussed in this meeting attended by academicians, core leaders and veteran masters.

All they knew was that their applications went smoothly and were given the green light.

With the addition of Liu Ruchuan, who has more team experience, Xu Qingshan felt a lot more relaxed.

In the empty laboratory, Xu Qingshan and Liu Ruochuan each had a simple table and a chair that was about to fall apart.

The two of them didn't mind the dust everywhere, nor did they mind that the tables and chairs were probably older than they were. They just chatted and looked at the paper.

Liu Ruochuan talked freely.

"Look at this applicant. Although it seems that he has published many papers, if you look closely at the types of papers and journals he has published, you will find that he has two or three authors for creative and innovative papers. The only paper he has published as a first author with a high impact factor is a low-quality journal. Basically, you don't need to look at such a paper and just pass it up."

"Take a look at this. This person has a good algorithm level, good logical reasoning skills, and has won some related competition awards, including a gold medal in an informatics competition. You can consider putting this person on the candidate list first."

As expected, Liu Ruochuan spent two years after graduation studying at famous mathematics colleges in Europe and the United States. Although he stayed there for a short time, he received unanimous praise from many world-class professors.

That's why he was able to travel around and study abroad with a bunch of recommendation letters from the world's top professors.

What makes him popular is not only his academic ability, but also his communication skills and organizational and management abilities, which are highly praised.

Although there were so many people praising him, it was Xu Qingshan who benefited first.

"After this screening, my mailbox is much cleaner and I feel more comfortable."

Xu Qingshan sighed.

Just now, Liu Ruochuan listed all the criteria he used to screen candidates and asked Xu Qingshan to match them one by one. Sure enough, he successfully filtered out nearly 90% of the resumes.

"Oh, by the way, where did you learn these conditions? Although the screening effect is very good, I feel that the requirements are quite high for both domestic and foreign candidates."

Xu Qingshan asked casually.

"I combined the selection criteria of Princeton and École Normale Supérieure for doctoral students and researchers. I can almost say that for those who can pass my screening, it will not be a problem for them to apply to Princeton to study for a doctorate or become a teaching assistant."

Liu Ruochuan was very proud.

"what?"

Xu Qingshan almost didn't react.

"Why? Are you surprised? What kind of group are we? We are such a group with so much strength and potential, and our recruitment standards are not high. Can you screen them out?"

Liu Ruochuan shook the thick stack of resumes at his hand. Those were the basic information they had printed out first. There were too many collections of papers, so he could only look at the electronic version.

"alright."

"By the way, the two doctoral students you had at the Institute of Mathematics, I heard from them that they were studying for Lao Zong's doctorate, why did they leave it to you to take care of?"

Liu Ruochuan asked curiously.

"I just went to the Institute of Mathematics, and Lao Zong said he would arrange two students to help me. Oh, right. Now I have transferred to the laboratory, and Lao Zong has also left the Institute of Mathematics. So what are Xiao Xue and Xiao Wang doing now?"

Xu Qingshan suddenly reacted.

He hadn't seen the two girls for several days. It seemed that he was too busy and had not yet informed them about the move to the office.

But the question is, who will be responsible for their staffing now?

Liu Ruochuan and Xu Qingshan stared at each other.

"I'll give Lao Zong a call."

Xu Qingshan couldn't help it, so he quickly took out his cell phone, found Zong Chuanming's number and called him.

The phone rang for a long time before Lao Zong answered it.

"Hey, why is Researcher Xu calling me? What a rare visitor."

As soon as Lao Zong heard the voice, he knew that the person was in a good mood, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Ahem, that's too much. Teacher Zong, let's get down to business. I forgot to ask you something. My relationship should be transferred from the Institute of Mathematics to the laboratory, right?"

"Yes, but this should be done by your old man Chen, right? I withdrew before the New Year."

"That's not important. The main thing is, after I leave, what are you going to do with your two students, Mr. Zong?"

When Xu Qingshan asked this question, the person on the other end of the line suddenly fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Zong Chuanming's uncertain voice sounded again.

"My two students? Where did my two students come from?"

"?"

Xu Qingshan was speechless for a moment.

He has seen Wangzai Milk, the Wangzai couple, and today he also met Wangzai teacher.

"Oh oh oh! I remember now, you are talking about Xue Xueqing and Wang Wei, right?"

Zong Chuanming also reacted when he saw that Xu Qingshan had not responded for a long time.

"Don't you know yet? The two of them have now become your students. They should be considered the founding disciples of your sect?"

"Ah? Why didn't I know?"
