My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Chapter 652 Little Li, are you teaching me how to do things?

"Professor Qi, you can't say that, can you?"

Why can't we say it that way?

Qi Bei glanced at Lu Hongwei casually, then chuckled and asked, "Am I not telling the truth?"

"fact?"

Lu Hongwei also lost his temper and argued logically: "Professor Qi, your achievements in the field of mathematics are indeed higher than our dean's, and no one can deny that. But why is our School of Mathematics not qualified to compete with your Q-Mathematics Department for students?"

"Compared to Q-numbers, the School of Mathematics also has one Level 5 mathematician, three Level 4 mathematicians, and more than twenty Level 3 mathematicians; all things considered, it is no weaker than Q-numbers!"

"Only strong, not weak?"

Before Qi Bei could speak, Xu Yichun interrupted, her expression full of disdain, "Hey, Mr. Lu, please get this straight: your School of Mathematics is an official organization, while Q-Mathematics is just a private mathematics team. What's the point of comparing the two?"

"How not……"

"A comparison of money? Or a comparison of freedom?"

"..."

Lu Hongwei was interrupted by Xu Yichun halfway through his sentence.

Faced with Xu Yichun's words, Lu Hongwei wanted to refute them, but he could not deny the facts.

Even so, so what?

Seeing that his companion was losing the argument, Huang Hai couldn't help but speak up in support, "No matter what, the School of Mathematics is an official organization..."

"Official organization?"

Xu Yichun's attitude was very assertive. Before Huang Hai could finish speaking, she directly retorted, "It is true that the School of Mathematics is an official organization, but doesn't the School of Mathematics also take on projects from various research institutions?"

"Doing the same work, but earning seven or eight times less. Don't talk to me about status or anything like that. As long as you have food in your pocket, you won't panic. Money in your pocket is what really matters. Before talking about dreams, you have to fill your stomach first."

"Besides, once you join the School of Mathematics, you'll be subject to all kinds of controls. It's not quite like clocking in and out to work, but it's not much different. Under these circumstances, how can you even have the nerve to invite An Youyu to join the School of Mathematics?"

Do you think young people are easy to fool?

The attack power of these words is undeniably strong!

Huang Hai was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

The tense atmosphere gave Ye Hongjun a headache, and he quickly spoke up to defuse the situation: "Brother Xu, in terms of treatment, the School of Mathematics is indeed not as good as the School of Quantitative Mathematics, but that doesn't mean we can't try to win over An Youyu. We can each rely on our own abilities."

"Who's your brother? Who are you calling brother?"

Xu Yichun glared at him, "Ye Hongjun, you know better than anyone how much effort we put into you back then, but you turned around and left Q-numbers to join the School of Mathematics. How is this any different from being an ingrate?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongjun's face showed a hint of shame. "Brother Xu, about that matter back then... I also had my own unspeakable difficulties!"

Xu Yichun's expression softened slightly. "We, Qi Lao and I, heard about the unspeakable trouble you mentioned, but why didn't you tell us? We could have worked together to find a solution."

Qi Bei nodded. "That's right."

Ye Hongjun couldn't help but sigh.

Qi Bei didn't want to talk too much about this issue. The matter had already happened, and there was no point in debating right and wrong now.

His gaze returned to An Youyu. "Girl, on behalf of Q-numbers, I formally invite you to join us. I can promise you that once you join Q-numbers, our senior mathematicians will wholeheartedly mentor you."

"Feel free to tell us what you need, and we will do our best to meet your needs."

Seeing this, Ye Hongjun and the other two were all helpless.

At that moment, none of them had the right to speak.

An Youyu pointed at Lin Mo, "Teacher, you can discuss this with Lin Mo. If he wants me to join, I will join."

Qi Bei wasn't surprised by the girl's answer, and shifted his gaze to Lin Mo, "How about it?"

"can."

The next second, Lin Mo changed the subject: "But before that, I think we can discuss some details again."

"for example?"

"For example, the issue of freedom."

Lin Mo spoke his mind, "Even if Q number is relatively flexible, there are still tasks. It's okay for Xiaoyuer to join Q number, but the premise is that Q number cannot assign her any tasks."

"Of course, it's not that she does nothing..."

"agree!"

Lin Mo looked surprised. "Professor Qi, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"It goes without saying."

Qi Bei took a sip of water. "Lin Mo, you may not be clear about the differentiation of Q numbers."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "I'm not really sure about that. I'd appreciate it if Professor Qi could inform me."

"Q is divided into two groups. The team of ten Level 3 mathematicians is responsible for bounty projects at various research institutions, while I and the four Level 4 mathematicians are responsible for the difficult problems that we cannot solve. At the end of the month, we will hold a half-day academic exchange meeting."

“We’ve discussed it, and once An joins Q-numbers, she won’t need to do anything. Whether it’s a bounty project from a major research institution or a problem that a third-level mathematician can’t solve, she won’t have to worry about it.”

Upon hearing Qi Bei's assurance, Lin Mo's expression of astonishment deepened.

Not only him, but even An Youyu was stunned, blinking blankly and muttering softly, "You can get paid without doing anything?"

Qi Bei laughed, "That's right! You can get paid without doing anything."

Upon hearing Qi Bei's confirmation, Lin Mo frowned slightly. "Professor Qi, if it's really as you say, isn't that unfair to the other members of Q?"

As Qi Bei previously stated, Q's revenue is distributed based on the number of people. If there is an extra person in the team who doesn't work but still gets a share of the money, it clearly infringes on the interests of others.

"Who says it's unfair?"

Qi Bei shook his head and chuckled, "Our Q-number team is in a league of its own among domestic math teams, but it lacks international recognition."

"Letting this girl join Q is mainly an investment. We believe that she will grow to a very high level in the future."

"Not only that, but I can also learn a lot from the imaginative thinking this girl displays in mathematics. She has to attend the monthly exchange meeting at the end of each month. Her participation will definitely benefit all members of Q number."

Hearing this, Lin Mo looked surprised. "Professor Qi, you are a Level 5 mathematician. There are only a handful of Level 5 mathematicians in the world. With you here, Q-number should not lack recognition."

A deep sense of helplessness appeared on Qi Bei's face, which was etched with the marks of time. "There are indeed not many Level 5 mathematicians in the world right now, but the status of mathematicians is too low and they are too much of a 'entertainment' subject."

"Many international math teams collaborate with celebrities, even if they lack the ability. But in this day and age, it seems that ability is not valued, only popularity."

“Those research institutions often boast about their collaborations with the math studios of certain celebrities, as if the bigger the celebrity’s fame, the more capable the math team they are in collaborating with.”

At this point, the mathematicians present all showed signs of frustration.

It is truly tragic to be born in this era!

Qi Bei smiled sheepishly, "Actually, there's another reason for inviting An Yatou to join Q Number. She has over 50 million followers on Jiaoke, so Q Number can leverage her fame to go international."

"Her joining will greatly increase Q-Shu's popularity. In fact, with this girl's current fan base, Q-Shu would have to pay her at least ten million yuan for a name-listing fee if they cooperated according to market prices. So, Q-Shu would actually get a great deal. How could we possibly assign her any tasks?"

"In short, she can do whatever she wants in the Q-number math team without any constraints."

Lin Mo chuckled softly, "Okay, I have no further questions. When do we sign the contract?"

Qi Bei opened the coffee table drawer and took out a contract that had been prepared in advance. "We can do it now."

Lin Mo picked up the contract, quickly glanced at it, and then handed it to An Youyu, saying, "Sign your name."

"okay."

"and many more!"

Seeing that An Youyu was about to sign the contract, Lu Hongwei hurriedly stopped her.

An Youyu blinked blankly, "Waiting for what?"

Qi Bei glared at Lu Hongwei, "That's enough, don't force me to kick you out of Xia Bei."

Faced with Qi Bei's reprimand, Lu Hongwei chuckled, "Professor Qi, An Youyu; perhaps you don't know yet, but our dean is currently on his way to Xia Bei. Perhaps you should wait until our dean arrives..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Bei gave Lin Mo a look.

Lin Mo smiled faintly, "Sign."

"it is good."

An Youyu quickly signed her name on the two copies of the contract, handed one to Qi Bei, and asked with curiosity in her eyes, "Teacher, don't we need to put our fingerprints on it?"

"Need not."

Qi Bei picked up the contract and deliberately waved it in front of Lu Hongwei. "Sigh, you're really getting old. Your memory is terrible. Little Lu, what did you just say?"

Lu Hongwei: "..."

It’s heartbreaking to kill someone!

But since the person in front of him was Qi Bei, no matter how unhappy he was, he dared not show it at all.

"No, he didn't say anything."

Lu Hongwei glanced at Huang Hai and Ye Hongjun, his face full of helplessness.

It's too late to say anything now that things have come to this!

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and an old man walked in.

The old man had gray hair, but he gave off a spirited feeling, and a kind smile was on his face.

Li Hongzhang, Dean of the School of Mathematics!

After Li Hongzhang entered the office, he saw the people on the sofa, adjusted his reading glasses, and exclaimed, "Wow, such a grand display!"

Qi Bei glanced at Li Hongzhang and said, "Go out, knock on the door before you come in."

Li Hongzhang: "..."

This was a very direct and forceful show of force!

"cough--"

Li Hongzhang seemed not to hear Qi Bei's words at all, his smile only widening. "Old Qi, it's been so long, why are you still so angry?"

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

But Qi Bei insisted on doing the opposite. Facing Li Hongzhang's smiling face, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and his voice was full of questioning.
