Super God-Level Top Student

Linhai.

After hanging up Qiao Ze's call, Li Jiangao stood dazed in the hotel lobby.

Without a doubt, he was one of the people in the world who understood Qiao Ze's academic level the best.

He knew even more that Qiao Ze's interest in theoretical physics far exceeded his interest in mathematics.

So, he had no doubts that the data Qiao Ze had deduced really had tricked a group of elites in the world.

But it was precisely because he believed the truth that Li Jiangao was very hesitant.

Qiao Ze didn't recommend letting the dean know the truth.

The reason was quite sound.

In fact, Li Jiangao always felt that Xu Dajiang was a decent person, but it was also true that he always overacted a bit too much in dramas.

Perhaps he had been in academia for too long.

So how was he supposed to explain this to Xu Dajiang?

However, before Li Jiangao could figure it out, Xu Dajiang's call came again.

"Hello, Jian Gao, did Qiao Ze tell you exactly what is going on?"

The voice from the receiver sounded very urgent.

It made Li Jiangao want to advise him: Don't rush, being too eager won't make for a good performance.

"Yeah, he did."

"Phew... that's good. How did he put it? What's the situation? You don't know, the university is almost boiling over, several professors from the colleges related to optoelectronic chips, and those people doing materials research, are nearly driven mad by inquiries, and there's also the school leadership... you don't know, all the pressure is now on me, I'm going crazy!"

"Hmm, Dean Xu, have you considered the possibility that all the problems could be solved with a single 'no comment' from you?"

Li Jiangao's words immediately silenced the other end and quickly brought calm.

"This... Jian Gao, what do you mean by that?"

"Qiao Ze did indeed talk to me. But why he published this paper, and how his data came about, must be kept confidential for now. So I suggest that the best course of action is to claim 'no comment' publicly," Li Jiangao said sincerely.

He had no choice, at this point, if he wasn't sincere, he feared that Xu Dajiang wouldn't be able to cope.

But Li Jiangao feared even more that the paper Qiao Ze had worked so hard on would go to waste.

After all, the thought of fabricating data that could deceive was exhausting.

"No comment? Uh..."

"It's alright, in the end, they will definitely have to ask Qiao Ze. Why don't you just let Qiao Ze handle this himself?"

"Well... okay then. By the way, when does your conference end on your end?"

"The day after tomorrow, but I'm planning to go back today," Li Jiangao said.

He really couldn't participate anymore.

He vividly remembered his last experience and truly did not wish to go through it again.

Inside the academic community, news spread rapidly. Li Jiangao could imagine that if he went to listen to reports today, he would most likely be watched like a panda again. Various questions, enough to drive one insane.

Not to mention, Li Jiangao did not believe his acting skills were better than Xu Dajiang's.

"That's fine then, take leave as soon as you can. Anyway, you don't need to speak on stage later. Let's leave it at that."

"Yeah, then I'll hang up first."

...

After hanging up, Li Jiangao began to request leave from the committee bigwigs.

He had a ready-made excuse, he needed to go back and look after the child.

Although Qiao Ze spoke lightly of it, as if it were nothing substantial.

But with a simple thought, Li Jiangao knew how big an impact this matter would cause.

After sending the message, Li Jiangao was about to book tickets when he suddenly remembered the Austrian international student he met today. He had promised to take her to a mathematics conference, and since he suddenly had to go back, he should at least tell her. He directly used the front desk's phone to call her.

"Hello, Hanna."

"Hi, Professor Li."

If Hudson, who was far away in Austria, heard Hanna addressing him so politely, he would surely roll his eyes.

After all, at school, this young girl always called him by his name directly.

"It's like this, some emergencies at the school require my attention, so I can't attend the upcoming conferences. I have to return to the school today."

"Ah? Is it because of Qiao Ze's paper?"

"Hmm… it's somewhat related."

"Then... can I go to Xilin with you today?"

"Didn't you plan to play in Linhai for a couple of days?"

"I did, but I found out I wasn't well-prepared. I don't have a Huaxia phone or bank card, and although I've exchanged some cash, life doesn't seem too convenient. I can come back after I've gotten used to living in Huaxia."

"Then, okay. I'm in the hotel lobby. Bring down your passport, and I'll have the school book the tickets together. You can settle the high-speed rail ticket fee once you complete the enrollment procedures at school."

"Okay, I'll come down right away."

...

Huaxia, Xilin City, high-speed rail station exit.

"Wow, Qiao Ze, you really came to pick me up!"

Although Chen Yiwen had already smugly reported her achievements on WeChat, the moment Su Mucheng saw Qiao Ze at the exit, she still acted exceedingly surprised.

Especially the sense of superiority that she exuded, which made Chen Yiwen want to roll his eyes.

But his urge to roll his eyes was contained when he saw the person following behind Su Mucheng.

He couldn't help it, Su Lixing gave Chen Yiwen the impression of a very imposing man.

Chen Yiwen felt he couldn't show an unfriendly attitude towards the daughter in front of her father. He had learned from experience, having been beaten up for bullying his cousin once, with a severe scolding by his uncle and approval from his own father. According to his father, it was a Chen family tradition that boys needed strict discipline to grow into men.

There was no arguing there, since his father and uncle both grew up the same way.
