Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 380 - 193: Take it for verification!

The school temporarily arranged for the research institute to use a small building on the south side of the campus; it was not large, with only a little over three hundred square meters per floor.

Previously, this place served as a warehouse for storing sports equipment, due to the old sports field being right next to it.

After the school expanded, the old sports field was redeveloped into a canteen and a teaching building, leaving this three-story warehouse barely used. It briefly served as a classroom for entrepreneurship courses at the school, but as student startups gradually lost traction, the space was vacated.

It was now conveniently repurposed for use by the research institute for a while.

Even if the approval and construction work were expedited, building a new structure would take at least one or two years.

This location was decided upon a month ago, but the building was too old, so the school spent over a month performing various renovations, particularly on the exterior walls, the small courtyard garden, and the restrooms.

After investing nearly a million, the small building handed over to Qiao Ze had significantly refurbished.

It even included a courtyard with bamboo and a small water feature, making it a very nice place to entertain guests.

Outside the courtyard, two guardhouses were deliberately arranged, along with security staff, ensuring that the building was manned 24 hours a day.

There was no sign indicating it was a secret facility, but nobody wanted to see Qiao Ze’s computer and drafts go missing.

The school had already begun consciously collecting Qiao Ze’s manuscripts. Even casual equations he jotted down were valuable.

As for the move, Qiao Ze did not resist.

Especially after visiting the small building once, Qiao Ze took a liking to the environment there.

Although there was a staff canteen fifty meters behind the small building, which got quite crowded during meal times, the school specifically transplanted several trees behind the building to provide lush greenery. With a wall to separate it, and with windows closed, it was quite serene, perfectly suitable for seclusion.

So, after moving in the next day, Qiao Ze arranged for the entire project team to be on the second floor while he took over the entire third floor.

As for the first floor, it had already been transformed into a modern small-sized conference room of about a hundred square meters and a reception room connected to the courtyard, as per Qiao Ze’s recommendation.

But for the time being, it was destined that the first floor would not be of much use.

Because after Qiao Ze moved to the new building on December 29th, he truly began his seclusion, simply taking residence on the third floor. Besides his office, a suite was also specially prepared for him to rest.

It’s been three days already!

Aside from Su Mucheng bringing him meals daily, he saw no one else.

At most, Su Mucheng would drag him up to the rooftop for some exercises, maintaining the bare minimum physical activity.

Therefore, Xu Dajiang was in a panic...

Seclusion?

Seclusion at a time like this?

That’s got to be a joke, right?

It was confirmed that the first group of scholars arriving would reach Huaxia by the 3rd.

Keep in mind, these scholars were leaders in academia, very busy people!

They were arriving two days early in hopes of engaging in academic exchange with Qiao Ze before the conference.

Among them were top scholars like Edward Whitten, as well as recognized mathematical prodigies of the new generation like Peter Schultz, and several chief editors of top journals, such as Roth Dugan and Rand Wilson.

Most importantly, Elder Yang would be arriving tomorrow, and he had specifically mentioned wanting to meet and chat with Qiao Ze.

These were reasonable requests, with no grounds for refusal.

But Qiao Ze was still in so-called seclusion... Continue your journey with novelbuddy

Xu Dajiang was so anxious he started developing pimples at the corner of his mouth.

He couldn’t get in touch with Qiao Ze at all because Qiao Ze had cut off all external lines of communication.

Even if he went to the building, he couldn’t get into the third floor.

He surely couldn’t have someone dismantle the anti-theft door in the hallway, right?

It wasn’t about the waste of money; it was the fear of annoying Qiao Ze.

What made things more troublesome was that even Li Jiangao couldn’t help this time.

Before deciding to seclude himself, Qiao Ze had specifically called Li Jiangao, mentioning that he needed to concentrate on a mathematical problem and didn’t want to be disturbed.

Actually, Li Jian had suggested that Qiao Ze engage in discussions with the scholars coming for the conference, as it might aid his research, but Qiao Ze bluntly refused.

"Li, I can’t get help with this problem from anyone; I have to figure it out on my own," said Qiao Ze.

If someone else had said it, Li Jiangao would probably have sneered, finding it too arrogant.

After all, mathematics truly is a discipline that requires communication.

However, when Qiao Ze said these words over the phone, Li Jiangao found he couldn’t really refute it and could only offer words of encouragement before hanging up.

There was nothing he could do. Li Jiangao had long resolved that the best help he could offer Qiao Ze was to unconditionally support his decisions.

Lucky for him, he was just an ordinary professor, and even though he had recently been promoted, he didn’t have to worry about as many things as Xu Dajiang did.

So once again, only Dean Xu felt aggrieved.

The higher management and school leadership wouldn’t care whether Qiao Ze was in seclusion or not; if the arriving academic dignitaries felt unsatisfied, even if they complained only a little, the blame would inevitably fall on him.

He had already prepared the reasoning for President Chen: "As the dean of the School of Mathematics, knowing about this in advance, why didn’t you coordinate with Qiao in advance?"

They wouldn’t consider how much he had to worry about, coordinate, and the sheer unexpectedness of Qiao Ze suddenly choosing to seclude himself...
