Chapter 307: Chapter 122: Have these people... all gone mad?Many people haven’t realized that in the era of mobile internet, as long as you own a smartphone, each person becomes an information node. This naturally includes the professors from Huaqing and Yanbei. Their initial intention was just to share some explosive gossip with colleagues, classmates, and friends. They didn’t really think it through before sending out the photos or videos. But the fact is, once a sufficiently explosive photo appears in a group chat with more than two people, the viral internet effect is unavoidable. Not to mention it’s not just a small group; many professors send it to groups of dozens or even a hundred people at once. They don’t just send one message, they broadcast it. As long as the two big shots aren’t in the group, they can send it. After all, even the mathematics professors from Huaxia’s top universities are normal people; their joys and sorrows are similar to ordinary people, and their nature to gossip is about the same. The only difference is that the things they’re usually interested in are different, and so are the ways and content of their gossiping. Thus, during Qiao Yu’s lecture, the picture of Yuan Zhengxin and Tian Yanzhen appearing together began to flood many professors’ social circles. At Yanbei University, Xue Song had just put down a paper, opened WeChat on his phone, planning to relax by looking through his circle of friends. As soon as he opened it, he saw a photo of Qiao Yu standing beside Elder Yuan, with a foreign professor on one side, and Tian Yanzhen standing opposite Elder Yuan. In the photo, Tian Yanzhen’s side profile is visible, but anyone who has met Tian Yanzhen can easily recognize him. The caption read: "Once again, a sight to behold, I thought I’d never see such a scene in my lifetime." Xue Song looked at the photo, somewhat lost in thought. Actually, ever since Qiao Yu nonchalantly made that call to Yuan Zhengxin and said a bunch of random things, Xue Song guessed this day would come. But he really didn’t expect the day to come so suddenly and so swiftly. He shook his head and continued scrolling through his circle of friends, and soon, more photos emerged... There was even a video. In the video, Qiao Yu and Elder Yuan stood in front of the large screen in the lecture hall. Elder Yuan was speaking, "...Qiao Yu, I’m sure you all know him by now. He is a rising star in the mathematical world and a student jointly trained by the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center and our Huaqing Mathematics Science Research Center..." After hearing this, Xue Song understood why Tian Yanzhen appeared at Qiao Yu’s lecture at Huaqing University today. What a joint training... Nevertheless, Xue Song thought this was great for Qiao Yu, as it meant in the future, no matter which side he used resources from, both would have little objection. Perhaps Tian Yanzhen thought the same way? Xue Song pondered... This is indeed very important. After all, although the two mathematical centers were both established by two leading figures, it doesn’t mean the big shots can completely ignore others’ opinions. At this stage, Qiao Yu doesn’t use too many resources, so no one has any objections. But who knows about the future. Qiao Yu is, after all, a student at Yanbei University. If he were to take resources from Huaqing, who would feel good about that? Indeed, the mathematical world needs geniuses, but if resources that might have belonged to someone else are taken, people’s thoughts might not be the same. Especially if you consider Elder Yuan’s age... Xue Song could only admire how foresighted the two big shots were and how much they cared about Qiao Yu. They think of everything he can and cannot think of. Did they really give up their grudge? Probably not. We can only say they’ve both chosen the future. Understanding this, Xue Song suddenly felt moved, his eyes involuntarily becoming slightly moist. The art of compromise in rivalry always stirs one’s emotions. He believed that neither of the big shots told Qiao Yu about this, but in a sense, both identified Qiao Yu as the future of Huaxia’s mathematical world. Who knows if that kid realizes it... So, Xue Song saved many different photos from his circle of friends to his phone and created a nine-grid post of his own... "Today is April 8th, 2025, Tuesday, the eleventh day of the third lunar month. I believe Huaxia’s mathematical history will surely remember this day, regardless of the form it takes." ... After Xue Song sent this message out, it spread throughout colleges, research institutes... the professor circles all over Huaxia. At Linhai’s Shuangdan University, Xiao Zhou’s Yujiang University, Jiang City’s Jiang City University, Star City’s Xingnan University, Deep State’s Shen Da, the northern Hacheng University of Technology, Xilin’s Gua College, and even the most western Boundary University... Even within the academicians’ circles at the Academy of Sciences, discussions began on this matter. Internal discussions were quite reserved, but it was different online. Qiao Yu’s lecture was only halfway through, yet there were already a bunch of similar inquiries on Dohu. "With Academician Tian Yanzhen historically appearing in the Century Hall of the Huaqing University Library alongside Mr. Yuan, does this mean the two mathematical leaders and former mentor-mentee reconciled after a decade of discord? It’s said that the reconciliation catalyst, seen in several photos, was Qiao Yu. Is this true?" No doubt, by this time the news had spread from the professor circle to the student circle. Don’t underestimate the potential hot topics on Dohu appealing to the youth. At least, in the eyes of mathematics students, this question was sure to reach the trending list because their group chats were buzzing, with notifications quickly accumulating to 99+ if not constantly checked.
