Chapter 402 Tong Tong’s Choice

Lao Ai and the others are very professional.

Although they had informed them in advance, when Xu Qingshan returned to Yandong Garden, he found that they had already rented a house in Yandong Garden, which would be used as a temporary base for the documentary filming.

The vacation given to Xu Qingshan by the school has not ended. He came here this time to accompany Jiang Huanxi and Tong Tong to report to school.

According to the school schedule, the start time of freshman and sophomore years is only a few days apart.

It was not until the day before registration that Xu Qingshan found out that Tong Tong had also applied to Yuanpei College, and that he had chosen biology and computer science as his course options. Specifically, the corresponding future direction was nanorobots in biotechnology.

As for why Tong Tong was able to choose his future development direction so clearly when he was only a freshman, we have to start with Mr. Xu Chongren, the dean before Xu Qingshan.

After Tong Tong successfully won the gold medal in the International Chemistry Olympiad in Tokyo and returned safely, Dean Xu found Tong Tong immediately and had an in-depth chat with her about her future development path.

Considering that Dean Xu was the dean before his brother and had helped a lot, Tong Tong agreed to have a good chat with him.

At first, Xu Chongren wanted Tong Tong to enroll directly in the School of Life Sciences of Jingcheng University, which was also the school where he was studying.

He had already learned about Tong Tong’s learning ability and academic thinking in advance.

I have to say, she is worthy of being Xu Qingshan’s sister. In terms of academic thinking, even though she is just a senior high school student who has just graduated, her comprehensive quality is far superior to some of the new graduate students from 985 universities that Xu Chongren has seen.

Some people may be curious, how can academic thinking be directly seen?
But in fact, when scholars with high enough level chat with students, sometimes a simple question and just a few words can determine whether the student’s thinking is active enough.

Sometimes, they don’t like students who focus too much on preparing for interviews and treat academic questions as very rigid exam questions.

Because such overly rigid operations are not suitable for future scientific research work.

In short, there is a lack of innovation.

Xu Chongren had enough time to have a good chat with Tong Tong about her views on scientific research and her own areas of interest. In the end, he concluded that Tong Tong’s talent in biology was no worse than Xu Qingshan’s.

Dean Xu considered this to be a very high evaluation. He was not using Xu Qingshan’s talent in mathematics to refer to his talent in biology. In his mind, if Xu Qingshan did not study mathematics but studied biology instead, then biological research would also achieve great breakthroughs, just like the current carnival in the mathematics community.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Xu Qingshan’s potential at the beginning.

Otherwise, he would lock Xu Qingshan in Yuanpei Academy no matter what, and then take him to the School of Life Sciences to do research. Even if Xu Qingshan didn’t want to do it, he would find ways to make him do it, using coercion or inducement.

Of course, these words were spoken after the fact, and Xu Chongren just thought about it.

Now, in his opinion, the female version of Xu Qingshan is right in front of him, how could he not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Fearing that Tong Tong would be abducted by the School of Mathematics, Xu Chongren did not even discuss any conditions and just kept throwing his preferential treatment in Tong Tong’s face.

Things like guaranteed places in graduate school and conditions for direct doctoral studies are no big deal.

Xu Chongren even allowed Tong Tong to enter the laboratory during his freshman year and set up a team on his own, and he would provide sufficient R&D funds and manpower support.

In other words, Xu Qingshan needed to show certain results to get it, but now Xu Chongren is willing to provide it to Tong Tong unconditionally, as long as Tong Tong becomes his disciple.

Originally, Tong Tong still wanted to go to the School of Mathematics or the School of Information Science, so that she could better adjust her direction and follow up on Xu Qingshan’s research, and finally enter Xu Qingshan’s laboratory, so that she could be with him every day to do scientific research.

It was only after Xu Chongren talked to her that she compromised and chose Yuanpei Academy.

Because she changed her mind.

If she still chooses to run on the track of mathematics and computers now, she will never catch up with Jiang Huanxi, who has been on this path for more than a year, and Jiang Huanxi has already completed many projects and achieved many results with Xu Qingshan.

If I follow her now, I will only overlap with her position.

Moreover, there will not be much difference in what can be done at that time, which will make Xu Qingshan more difficult.

The conditions put forward by Xu Chongren made her see another possibility, that is, to be unique and take a path that the people around Xu Qingshan are not taking now, but Xu Qingshan will take in the future.

Biological sciences, life sciences, and a combination of biology and computer science.

She had a good chat with Xu Chongren and found that this approach was feasible.

Especially in the future, when Xu Qingshan’s laboratory wants to transform the machine learning theories they have mastered into practical applications, they will most likely use people in this direction. There are many applications in this direction. Nanorobots are just one example, mainly used in practical situations such as targeted drugs, as well as brain-computer interfaces, bionic human technology, and so on.

There was even one time when Tong Tong talked to Xu Qingshan indirectly about his future development direction at the dinner table. When she learned that Xu Qingshan was currently planning to set up his own research university, she became even more certain that she wanted to take this path.

In her opinion.

Only those who can provide sufficient help to his brother are qualified to stand by his side and accompany him.

Of course Xu Qingshan had no idea that Tong Tong had thought so much.

When he and Jiang Huanxi accompanied Tong Tong to report to Yuanpei Academy, he also went to Xu Chongren’s office to drink two glasses of water and happily chatted about the recent development of Yuanpei College.

It’s just that Xu Qingshan has been so popular recently that even at Beijing University, where he often hangs out, as long as students recognize him on the street, they will come up to him and want to take a photo with him or ask for his autograph.

In order not to interfere with his work, he put on a mask, which made him more conspicuous.

After all, most of the students of Jingcheng University have the opportunity to meet Xu Qingsheng in real life. I still have a deep impression of his height and figure. At this time, on a hot day when no one wears a mask, someone wears a mask. Judging from his figure and face shape, he looks very similar to Xu Shen. Who else could it be except Xu Shen?
There isn’t a lot of cosplay targeting people these days.

There was no way out. Xu Qingshan was surrounded on the road, so Jiang Huanxi had to lead Tong Tong to report to various places and check on the dormitory.

Although they have confirmed that Tong Tong will not live on campus, the school has already arranged a dormitory for him. They need to communicate with the dormitory manager and report to the counselor.

Fortunately, the president of Yuanpei Academy at that time was still Mr. Xu Chongren.

He gave the green light to his new apprentice.

Xu Qingshan finally got rid of the enthusiastic students, and he simply went back to his laboratory to take a look. To be honest, he hadn’t shown up in the laboratory for more than half a month, and he didn’t know how his senior was managing the laboratory.

But as soon as he arrived at the laboratory, he felt an atmosphere that was completely different from outside.

Xu Qingshan walked back and forth in the corridor several times. He saw students and researchers in the laboratory. When he heard footsteps outside, he would occasionally look up.

But when they saw me, they didn’t exclaim, nor did they crowd over to me. Instead, they continued to work on their own things. Only that look in their eyes said, “Oh, you’re back.”

“No, buddy, are you all so cold?”

Xu Qingshan, who had always been annoyed by being surrounded by people and asked for autographs, found it difficult to accept this at this moment.

Just then, Zhang Ke came out of the Information Science Laboratory with a thick stack of documents in his hand. As soon as he walked out the door, he heard Xu Qingshan’s puzzled sigh.

“Are you back? Are you indifferent? Are you okay? Didn’t everyone nod to you, Boss, just now?”

Zhang Ke answered with a smile, and planned to walk past Xu Qingshan and go downstairs.

“Hey, wait, Brother Zhang, don’t you have anything you want to tell me?”

Xu Qingshan quickly grabbed Zhang Ke, with an expression that looked like he was waiting for praise.

I don’t care whether outsiders praise me or not! But how can people in my team not praise me? Especially since we are all professionals and we all know the value of what I have done.

“no?”

Zhang Ke scratched his head and looked at Xu Qingshan with a calm expression.

“Oh, yes, maybe it’s that report that needs your approval, Boss.”

“What report?”

“Regarding the conversion of the first floor into a computer room, aren’t we planning to move the computer room database of the Information Science Laboratory to the first floor? It’s almost finished there, and it’s estimated to take about two months. If it can be arranged, QSKS can continue with subsequent development without having to worry about servers and data.”

“okay.”

Although Xu Qingshan still loved to play, business was more important. He waited for Zhang Ke to go in and get the report. He looked at it for a while and confirmed that there was no problem before signing it. Only then did he feel something was not right.

If an old hand like Zhang Ke can keep a steady mind, and since he is an information science major, not a mathematics major, it is understandable that he looks calm.

So what do all these little bastards in the math lab mean?

Especially those two who turned their heads away and deliberately didn’t look at me?
Xiao Wang and Xiao Xue?

Xu Qingshan could see from the window that the students in the mathematics laboratory were pretending not to see him and turning their heads to the other side. He felt that there was something strange about this.

Confused, he simply walked into the math lab.

As a result, I just stepped into the door.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The sound of a series of salutes suddenly startled Xu Qingshan.

Fortunately, he had already felt that there must be something strange here, so he made some mental preparation, so he was able to maintain his calm image in front of this group of students.

“What are you guys playing at?”

Xu Qingshan pretended to be calm when asking questions, but his voice was interrupted by students who suddenly jumped up from their seats. They were so noisy and chattering that Xu Qingshan only felt a ringing in his ears and could not hear what these guys were shouting at all.

But it’s lively enough here.

Wang Wei and Xue Xueqing, who had just turned their heads away and ignored him, jumped higher than anyone else at this time. They grabbed a bright yellow coat and put it on Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan had no choice but to let them do what they wanted. After a while, the noise quieted down a bit.

Xu Qingshan saw that in the laboratory, Liu Ruochuan and several other researchers had come to join in the fun at some point.

“Congratulations to my director for wearing the yellow robe and registering as the contemporary emperor of mathematics!”

Xue Xueqing’s face was flushed. She was holding a paper tube rolled up with the lab report as a microphone and standing at the side of the stage to host the show. Xu Qingshan was pulled onto the stage by her and Wang Wei.

Although Wang Wei couldn’t say much in such a situation, her strength in pulling people was not weak at all.

“Exaggerated, exaggerated.”

Xu Qingshan was not the kind of person who would ruin everyone’s fun. He cooperated with Xue Xueqing’s actions and waved towards the cheering students, while speaking modestly.

“Can you say a few words?”

Xue Xueqing instigated.

Before Xu Qingshan agreed, she had the courage to order her teacher’s senior brother around.

“Uncle Master, can you let me say a few words?”

Liu Ruochuan received the signal.

During the time when Xu Qingshan was away, he had a good contact with these two students of Xu Qingshan. It turned out that they were quite capable. Wang Wei had good practical ability in handling things, and Xue Xueqing had good organizational ability in maintaining situations.

Even though Xu Qingshan was not there, the laboratory was still running steadily.

Liu Ruochuan said with a smile.

“Qingshan, we were originally planning to celebrate for you the day after tomorrow when you come back to work. We prepared the fireworks and other things in advance, and the cake was also scheduled for that day. I didn’t expect you to be so restless and love us so much that you would come to see us in advance when you have a day off. We can only celebrate in such a hasty way. Otherwise, can you say a few words to everyone? Encourage everyone?”

Xu Qingshan understood.

He said why is it so weird?

It seems that these guys prepared a surprise for me, but my impulse and my early look disrupted my plan.

He nodded.

Without waiting for him to cough, everyone quieted down and gathered around the podium in the mathematics laboratory, waiting for Xu Qingshan’s first speech after receiving the award.

“Everyone knows that I am attending the International Mathematical Congress this time.”

“Fields Medal!”

“Riemann Hypothesis!”

As soon as Xu Qingshan finished speaking, Xue Xueqing and Fang Yunhai did not let him finish his words, and each of them continued with a sentence.

“You two are really good, you summarized it directly.”

Xu Qingshan smiled and pointed at the two funny guys.

“I won’t go into any more details. I just want to tell you a piece of news. The Fields Medal is just the beginning. The Riemann Hypothesis is our top priority next.”

“Next, our entire team will begin to devote all our efforts to the proof and verification of the Riemann hypothesis!”

“The solution to this century-old problem is not just mine, everyone has a share!”

“When I return to work the day after tomorrow, I will start breaking down the Riemann hypothesis into its components, and I will then break down the parts that you can do into their proper parts.”

“Everyone is working hard, students and researchers alike, to keep up with the pace.”

“When the time comes, all small achievements will be signed according to individual contributions. I will only record the correspondence. Do you understand?”

After the words were spoken, the laboratory fell silent for a moment.

Then, there were shouts of surprise and madness.

The boss is here to bring warmth to everyone!
Even though it’s still summer.
