From child prodigy to chief scientist

The Youngton family has already booked a trip together and is about to begin their holiday.

Xu Xiao had no intention of taking a vacation. After returning to his hometown of Gangcheng from Yucai, he began preparing for his trip to Yanjing.

Upon learning of this, Yanda University took it very seriously and made a special trip to find out Xu Xiao's schedule in advance, preparing to send someone to pick them up at the station.

In those days, there were no high-speed trains or bullet trains, so Xu Xiao chose to take a sleeper train to Yanjing. This way, after sleeping on the train, he would arrive almost the next morning.

As soon as they came out of the station, Xu Xiao and his friends saw people holding up signs that read "Yanjing University".

The staff at Yenching University immediately noticed Xu Xiao and greeted her with smiles.

"Dear parents and Xu Xiao, hello. I am Yao Lei, the admissions officer from Yenching University."

Xu Xiao still had some impression of Yao Lei. She had a brief conversation with Yao Lei when she attended the CMO Awards Ceremony.

Afterwards, Yao Lei invited Xu Xiao and his family of three into the car and drove to Yenching University.

On the way, Yu Guilan couldn't help but chat with Yao Lei about the benefits and conditions offered by Yenching University.

"Professor Yao, is it possible for Xu Xiao to pursue a combined bachelor's and doctoral degree at Yenching University?"

"Yes, Xu Xiao's learning ability far surpasses that of ordinary people. We will develop a personalized teaching plan for him so that he can complete his undergraduate and graduate studies more efficiently. After Dr. Xu Xiao graduates, we will also give him priority in being offered a position at the university..."

"So, does that mean Xu Xiao might become a professor in the future?"

"Of course, the possibility is very high. Even the greatest mathematicians in history, at the same age, might not have been able to demonstrate mathematical talent like Xu Xiao."

Many university leaders at Yenching University already see Xu Xiao as the next Terence Tao.

They naturally understood what this mathematical talent meant, and no matter where Xu Xiao's future potential lay, they would do their best to provide him with the best resources to help him continue to grow.

"Teacher Yao, I have another question. I heard that your school can arrange jobs for both of us. What are the specific details?"

"You two can rest assured, we will arrange suitable on-campus jobs for you and provide formal contracts. We currently have some recommended positions, and of course, if you have other ideas, you can also discuss them with us..."

According to Yenching University's plan, they offered Xu Lang a position in the finance department and Yu Guilan a position in the university hospital.

In this way, their new jobs will have some connection with their previous ones, so they won't have much difficulty getting started.

While the salaries for these positions aren't exceptionally high, they are generally better than their previous jobs, especially considering the comprehensive benefits.

Moreover, the workload on campus is not too heavy, especially for Yu Guilan. If she becomes a nurse at the school hospital, she will no longer have to work night shifts so frequently.

After listening to Yao Lei's explanation, Xu Lang and Yu Guilan felt much more at ease and basically accepted the arrangement.

After the car arrived at Yenching University, Yao Lei did not rush to sign the agreement with Xu Xiao, but instead took them to a family compound outside the east gate of Yenching University.

This residential compound is called Yandongyuan, which is a residential area for the families of faculty and staff of Yenching University. It is only a few hundred meters away from Yenching University.

Leading them to one of the houses, Yao Lei took out her key, opened the door, and invited them in.

"Once Xu Xiao signs the agreement, this house will be yours. It's only a few minutes' walk from Yanda University, making it very convenient for commuting to and from get off work every day."

This is a small three-bedroom apartment of about 90 square meters. Although each room is a bit small, it is already very good overall, even larger than their house in the steel city.

Moreover, this is a house in Yanjing, and its value is incomparable to that of houses in Gangcheng.

What pleased them even more was that Yenching University not only promised them permanent residency in the house, but also ownership of it.

This situation, which has almost never occurred before, usually means that normal faculty and staff of Yenching University can only obtain the right to reside in the house for a certain period of time.

Given the current housing prices in Yanjing, this house should be worth at least 500,000 yuan.

The happiest person was Xu Xiao, because as a reborn person, he knew exactly how fast housing prices would rise in the future.

Following the normal trajectory, the price of this house could increase more than tenfold in the future, which would easily amount to nearly ten million.

Even though there are many restrictions on buying and selling houses here, owning such an asset always feels much more secure.

After showing them around the campus, Yao Lei led the three of them to the admissions office and took out the prepared agreement.

"These are the contents of the agreement. If you have any questions, please feel free to raise them."

Despite having great trust in Yanda and Yao Lei, Xu Xiao was still very careful when reviewing the agreement, scrutinizing every single word.

After reading through the entire agreement and discussing some details with Yao Lei, Xu Xiao finally signed his name and pressed his fingerprint on the agreement.

Following that, Xu Lang and Yu Guilan also completed the signing of the agreement.

"Congratulations everyone, from now on we are all members of Yenching University."

Having completed their transformation, the three of them felt somewhat unaccustomed to it, as if it were all a dream.

"Teacher Yao, we haven't finished our work in Gangcheng yet, so we probably won't be able to get back to work for a while."

Because they hadn't fully decided to work at Yenching University, they didn't immediately submit their resignation applications.

"It's okay, there's no rush. You can come over to complete the onboarding process after you've finished dealing with this."

Yenching University's provision of job positions for Xu Lang and Yu Guilan can be considered a special case. The university itself is not in urgent need of personnel for these positions, so naturally there is no rush for them to take up their posts immediately.

"Professor Yao, I mentioned to Professor Yuan before that I wanted to audit the course at Yenching University beforehand. Is that alright?"

"I know about this. Professor Yuan specifically emphasized it to me. You can study at Yenching University whenever you want. We can help you with the enrollment procedures in advance."

"It would be best if it could be done as soon as possible. I plan to spend two days with my parents in Yenching University, and then I'll go back to Yenching University to start studying."

Although Xu Xiao wasn't particularly interested in sightseeing in Yanjing, she felt she should still take her parents to do some activities since they had come all this way.
