Chapter 233 Strongly recommended!

Zheng Xiwen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The main reason why I never talked to Qiao Yu about Frank was that I was afraid that Qiao Yu would clamor to go find his biological father if he knew that I had a biological father living abroad.

Without a doubt, this is the most troublesome thing. And from a human perspective, it is reasonable for Qiao Yu to have this idea.

Fortunately, it seems that Qiao Yu's reaction now is that he is clearly disdainful of Frank, and he even wants to teach him a lesson. He has no intention of looking for his father at all, which is actually quite good.

But at the same time, he was still very troubled. After all, it was difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs! He could hear the meaning behind Qiao Yu's words and wanted to make trouble for Frank.

To be honest, Zheng Xiwen also despised the behavior of that family. But they were a family after all, and he helped with this matter. What if the family reconciled in the future, what would he do?
So I could only play deaf and dumb and listen to Qiao Yu's indignant chatter all the way, and I just felt my head "buzzing".

Really, Zheng Xiwen has tried very hard to isolate the noise from his brain.

For example, along the way, he was not only alert to everyone around him, but also began to think about how to write today's report. However, he could not resist Qiao Yu's muttering, which was like a magic sound piercing his ears and always lingered in his ears.

Until he felt someone walking towards them. But after a quick glance, he relaxed his guard a little.

Although he had never seen Zheng Zefeng in person, he could recognize him at a glance after looking through his files and photos.

Although high-end security personnel like him do not necessarily need to have a photographic memory, the ability to quickly recognize people is the most basic requirement.

Not to mention that Zheng Xiwen is a leader in this industry. As long as you have seen the photo, you can basically recognize him in real life.

At this moment, Zheng Xiwen hoped very much that this relative in front of him could come over and chat with Qiao Yu.

It could divert Qiao Yu's attention and free him from the endless nagging of a teenage boy.

When I watched A Chinese Odyssey before, I always felt that people’s reactions to the character of Tang Monk were somewhat artistically exaggerated.

How much harm can nagging do?
But if there really is someone in life who likes to nag all the time like Tang Seng and Xianglin Sao, you will find that art really comes from life.

The feeling of that devilish sound constantly piercing your ears can really drive you crazy.

"Hello, Dr. Qiao. What a coincidence."

This relative did not disappoint Zheng Xiwen and came up to greet Qiao Yu.

"Who are you?" Qiao Yu stopped complaining, looked at the person who came and asked.

“Oh, I’m Zheng Zefeng from Yujiang Institute of Advanced Studies. I came to Yanbei University this time to take the project qualification exam.

I have seen you at the International Mathematicians Congress and at the conference the day before yesterday. But you rarely showed up at both conferences, so I didn’t have the chance to get to know you.”

Zheng Zefeng said quickly.

Qiao Yu nodded suddenly, then looked at Zheng Zefeng carefully.

Well, he is indeed considered a handsome old man in the mathematics world.

Well, in fact, even if we bring the physics community into the picture, he can still be considered handsome. With a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks very righteous, a bit like the Li Xunhuan in the TV show I watched when I was a child.

Although you can't judge a person by his appearance, this kind of appearance is suitable for playing villains in film and television works, and it is difficult for people to feel disgusted with him.

No wonder you can have two girlfriends when you attend a social gathering for international students.

But on the other hand, if he looks like this and couldn't keep two girlfriends, it seems that he really doesn't know how to fall in love.

"Oh, Professor Zheng! To be honest, I talked about you with Uncle Zheng when I was marking papers this afternoon. I heard that you won a national award in a physics competition in high school and were admitted to Shuangdan University. How come you started studying mathematics later?"

Qiao Yu asked immediately.

Zheng Zefeng was a little surprised that Qiao Yu knew about his previous experience, but he quickly replied: "Actually, I didn't want to participate in the competition at that time, but later my physics teacher got along well with me.

I was allowed to try the competition route. Who knew I would win a prize in my first year? Then I was admitted as a recommended student.

After I went to the Department of Physics at Shuangdan University, I realized that I was more interested in mathematics. But changing majors would delay me for a year, which I thought was unnecessary, so I just took a double degree.

So when I applied for postgraduate study, I naturally focused on mathematics. But I never neglected physics. Some of my previous research was to use algebraic geometry and fractional ideals to describe the analytical properties of singularities in general relativity.

At the same time, I am also very interested in the combination of quantum groups and algebraic geometry. For example, in low-dimensional topological quantum field theory, algebraic geometry is used to characterize gauge fields and topological invariants. "

That's a bit too much to extend.

However, for Zheng Zefeng, this is obviously a rare opportunity.

Although Qiao Yu is only seventeen years old, Qiao Yu's achievements are much higher than his, and whether one can join Qiao Yu's project can be completely decided by this seventeen-year-old boy.

So Zheng Zefeng completely treated today's chance encounter as an interview.

"Oh? In other words, you are not only very accomplished in algebraic geometry, but you are also researching the geometrization of quantum field theory and topological quantum field theory?"

Qiao Yu asked.

Zheng Zefeng nodded calmly and replied, "Yes, after all, I learned these systematically in college, so although I mainly focused on algebraic geometry, I also often dabbled in physics."

"That's really nice."

Qiao Yu smiled and asked, "Do you want to know how many points you got on the test?"

Zheng Zefeng smiled bitterly, and then answered sincerely: "Actually, it doesn't matter what score I get. I want to know more about whether I have the opportunity to join your project team.

After listening to your lecture the day before yesterday, I was really interested in Qiao Yu modal space and quantum simulation technology.

I think these two studies will even subvert the development of contemporary mathematical theory in algebraic geometry and modal logic.

Especially in promoting the cross-disciplinary research of logic, computer science and mathematical structures, it is of great significance and can be regarded as a benefit to the present and future generations.”

No matter how much these words came from the heart, Qiao Yu was naturally very satisfied when he heard them.

I even began to wonder if Professor Zheng had some other unspeakable secrets.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen...

He’s so good at talking, how could he not be able to coax girls?

With his rich experience in this area, girls are easy to coax. As long as you can talk and provide enough emotional value, it will be enough. These two points are actually very easy to do, and don't even cost too much money.

So from childhood to adulthood, Xia Keke was coaxed by him to the point of being at a loss.

Now it seems that Professor Zheng is fully capable of this. With this appearance, even coaxing two children should not be a big problem.

However, Qiao Yu did not continue to dwell on this formal question, but suddenly said: "Professor Zheng, let's discuss a situation. Suppose you are a child who grew up in a single-parent family.

You have been without a father since childhood. Your family has always told you that your father passed away unexpectedly before you were born. It was not until you grew up that you accidentally found out that he did not pass away, but abandoned his family to live a good life abroad.

So the question is, if this situation happened to you, what would you do to this man? Or, how would you treat this man? "

Zheng Zefeng subconsciously glanced at Zheng Xiwen, who was standing next to Qiao Yu with an expressionless face.

This question has taken a rather quick turn and sounds quite outrageous...

This kind of question involving values ​​is the most annoying, especially for people working in science and engineering.

Because it's too hard to answer, there is no correct answer at all. It's just like Chinese reading comprehension, you can only get a high score if you answer the question to the heart of the questioner.

Fortunately, when Zheng Zefeng just walked over, he vaguely heard some of Qiao Yu's complaints.

So I thought about it for a moment and quickly prepared a draft in my mind.

"I think these are two questions, the first is what I want to do, and the second is what I can do, Dr. Joe, right?

After all, the former does not need to bear any responsibility, while the latter is subject to some basic consensus and moral laws of human society. "

"Oh?" Qiao Yu blinked and said, "That sounds interesting. Let's go on."

"Anyway, if it were me, knowing all this, I would definitely want to rush up to him and beat him up first, then send him to the hospital.

In reality, I certainly can't be so reckless. But I will definitely do my best to make him regret and pay for the mistakes he has made."

After listening to this, Qiao Yu smiled and nodded, and replied: "Well, the answer is quite interesting. By the way, your test paper has been corrected. The bad news is that you did not pass, with only 58 points."

This score did make Zheng Zefeng a little upset. He knew that he didn't answer the question very well this time, but he really didn't expect it to be such a disgusting score.

But before he could say anything, Qiao Yu said, "The good news is that this score is not too low. After all, only three people passed, and none of them studied algebraic geometry.

It just so happens that our team needs a researcher who is familiar with both algebraic geometry and physics. So your hope is still great.”

This sentence surprised Zheng Zefeng.

He originally thought that the sighs and groans that were heard by the group of people in the afternoon as they were comparing answers were just acting.

What I didn’t expect was that they all didn’t do very well in the exam.

Ten questions in total, four hours in total, and only three passed? Well, this was indeed surprising to him.

After all, when he reviewed the exam later, he always felt that he should have done better. So he always felt that others might have performed better than him.

Now it seems that his heart is still a little dark and not sincere enough.

But there is no way. For him, this is definitely the most important opportunity in his life, no doubt about it.

And once you miss it, you will never find such a good opportunity again.

It is impossible to expect China to have another Fields Medal winner in a short period of time.

Even if it really appeared, it would be unlikely to directly create a completely new mathematical system like Qiao Yu did.

It is more likely that Chinese mathematicians will take advantage of their proximity to the main field and once again win these top mathematics awards in an era of rapid development of the generalized modal axiom system.

Obviously, this is definitely the best opportunity to join Qiao Yu's team.

So when he heard the news, all of Zheng Zefeng's depressed emotions instantly disappeared, and he became visibly excited.

"Thank you, Dr. Qiao. To be honest, after I knew I didn't take the exam, when we reviewed the exam together in the afternoon, I found that I had thought one-sidedly about three questions.

I have reviewed this with several professors who took the exam with me, and the main reason is that we are not yet accustomed to using the generalized modal axiom system to deal with uncertainty and modal logic gates in quantum systems.

If we were given the opportunity to take the test again, even with the same flexible question format, the number of people who could pass would definitely increase significantly.”

This is probably the reason why Qiao Yu doesn’t really like dealing with domestic mathematicians.

Although he knew that Zheng Zefeng was trying to flatter him by saying this and complimenting him on his good question, his expression was still too subtle...

He thinks that he should learn from foreign mathematics masters in this regard, such as Pierre Delini, Peter Schultz, Lotte Dugan and so on.

They really spare no effort in praising others, especially Peter Schultz, even praising him by belittling themselves.

Not to mention that they were sincere, even if they were just praising him too much, Qiao Yu would accept it. After all, the emotional value can really be maximized.

"Well, don't worry. Also, your comments just now are very constructive. I think you are a person with a very quick mind and very suitable for my project."

When Qiao Yu said this, he actually wanted to reach out and pat Zheng Zefeng on the shoulder like an adult, but after measuring the heights of both of them, Qiao Yu decisively changed his mind.

This old man not only has a good appearance, but he should also be about 1.8 meters tall. He will probably need another two years to grow that tall.

Zheng Zefeng naturally didn't know what Qiao Yu was thinking, so he nodded calmly.

But before he could say anything, Qiao Yu suddenly asked, "By the way, as far as you know, do Yujiang University and Berkeley have any official cooperation?"

Apparently, few people could keep up with Qiao Yu's leaping thoughts. Zheng Zefeng was no exception...

His brain paused for half a second before he answered, "Um, Berkeley? Well, from what I know, there do seem to be some official cooperation projects.

Well, there are joint doctoral training and summer school courses, but most of them are concentrated in social sciences and humanities. Including law, finance, communication, linguistics, etc. It is more difficult to promote cooperation in science and engineering now. "

Qiao Yu shook his head seriously, turned his head to look at Zheng Xiwen and said, "Look, what's the point of this kind of cooperation? Exchanging law courses with Berkeley?

I have never studied law, but I know that the continental law system and the maritime law system are not the same thing. After the exchange course, law students are asked to learn case law?
This is simply a joke! Can anyone give me a relevant channel to respond? I strongly suggest that this meaningless and valueless official education cooperation be stopped immediately! "
