Chapter 311: Chapter 122: Are These People All Crazy?_5This is still in the situation where the emphasis is no longer just on papers. If it were during his time as a Ph.D. student, the school might have directly offered him a position to keep him there. For a student like this, helping a familiar neighbor’s little sister secure a chance to train at a summer camp is probably just a matter of saying a word. As for two years later... Even if eighteen-year-old Qiao Yu is exceptionally promoted to a professor, Mr. Yang wouldn’t find it surprising. Being able to find loopholes in the proof process of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture at sixteen, it’s hard to imagine what he can do at eighteen. "Huh? Mr. Yang, how do you know my brother Qiao Yu also suggested I go to the summer camp to train a bit? However, he said that I must first have the ability to independently solve those advanced training problems he mailed me, otherwise there’s no point in going. I feel like I’m still a bit lacking." Keke replied with a hint of distress. Among those so-called advanced training problems Qiao Yu sent her, she could only solve about forty percent independently. In other words, out of a hundred points worth of problems, she could only score about forty, which was quite discouraging. Mr. Yang shook his head and said, "Don’t underestimate yourself. Those advanced problems Qiao Yu gave you are quite challenging. Generally speaking, the problems in the girls’ math Olympic competition are simpler than those advanced problems." After saying this, Mr. Yang glanced at the female classmate next to Keke and said with a smile, "Chen Xiweng, why don’t you head to the cafeteria first?" "Okay, Mr. Yang." The girl glanced at Keke and said, "I’ll wait for you at the cafeteria then." "Alright." Mr. Yang said, "It’s okay, you go ahead. I’ll finish chatting with Keke in just two minutes." After watching the girl leave, Mr. Yang finally spoke, "Keke, your grades are actually very good. You have to have confidence. This way, I’ll help you apply over this summer. Although it might not get selected, it’s also good to broaden your horizons. By the way, after submitting the materials, let Qiao Yu know." Keke blinked and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang." "Alright, go eat." Mr. Yang said to Keke with a smile and then walked into the teaching building. Actually, Chen Xiweng hadn’t gone far, and Keke quickly caught up with her. "Keke, what did Mr. Yang just say to you?" "Nothing much, just asked about my brother." "Hmph, you’re not being honest. I bet Mr. Yang asked your brother to help out. Honestly, doesn’t this mean you might go to the Yanbei University’s math summer camp this summer?" "Stop teasing, that’s impossible. My brother wouldn’t do such a thing. Even if I told him, he’d just say I have to rely on my own abilities!" Keke corrected her best friend’s words. Feeling proud inside but also a little flustered... Her brother Qiao Yu was progressing too fast, and she was already struggling to keep up. Such an outstanding brother can’t be snatched away by those dazzling senior sisters at Yanbei University, can he?! How annoying! ... Qiao Yu also had his own troubles. Many netizens online were worshiping him, envying his ability to sit at the center between two big-shots, but only he knew how uncomfortable it was to sit in this position during a meal. He had to be very cautious when talking to either side, rehearsing it several times in his mind. Even worse, what’s with piling all sorts of dishes into his bowl? Did the two big-shots enjoy watching him eat? Should he turn into a mukbang streamer? This was the most lively yet most troublesome meal Qiao Yu had since he arrived in Beijing. And that wasn’t the end of it. During the meal, Elder Yuan even mentioned in front of Director Tian that he hoped Qiao Yu could join his student Li Lixing, an associate professor at the research center, along with Professor Ronald from the University of California, Berkeley, and Professor Zhang Xinwen from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, on their research team. The current project research is on the two-dimensional extension of Chevalley’s theorem on all reductive Lie algebras and reductive algebraic groups. As Elder Yuan put it, hoping Qiao Yu to join this team wasn’t just his own idea, but Professor Li had already discussed it with the two collaborators, and both of them agreed. In other words, this could be considered the first official project team to invite Qiao Yu. The reason for inviting Qiao Yu to join the project was also made very clear by Elder Yuan. The key to solving this issue lies in how to compute global functions on the exchange heap. The team hopes to use Langlands Duality to transform it into calculations concerning the Whitaker layers in the affine Hecke category co-center. Langlands Duality is a core concept in the Geometric Langlands Conjecture, and Qiao Yu happens to have shown a deep understanding of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture. Furthermore, Qiao Yu’s thinking is very dynamic, which might bring some new ideas to their team. It was heard that they originally also intended to invite Professor Pan to join. But it was clear that Professor Pan didn’t have the time, as he would certainly need to devote a lot of time and effort into addressing the loopholes proposed by Qiao Yu in the upcoming time. Truly, Elder Yuan so openly poaching him, Qiao Yu was still slightly unaccustomed to it. After all, he was a Yanbei person and hadn’t yet experienced what it’s like to join someone else’s project team at Yanbei. It felt a bit like selling out. Fortunately, Director Tian simply said lightly, "Since Elder Yuan has spoken, you should agree. If you really achieve something and have contributions, then when the paper is published, just add your name. If you don’t contribute, consider it as gaining experience in the project team." With both big-shots saying this, Qiao Yu had no choice but to agree. So after the meal, on the way back to Yanbei University, Qiao Yu’s backpack was stuffed with a stack of manuscripts—besides that, there was also a bunch of information online.
