Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 700 - 273 Weakness and Persistence_3

Li Jiangao silently nodded.

He was still too young and didn't think about things as deeply as these older guys did.

"Chancellor Xu, then do you think Qiao Ze is aware of all this?"

Xu Dajiang curled his lips and said, "Qiao Ze... what doesn't he see clearly? It's crystal clear in his mind, he just can't be bothered to say it. That's why you see, he never makes truly excessive demands. Expressing dissatisfaction is just a gesture."

And do you think it was a coincidence that the first thing Qiao Ze did after taking leave was to brazenly head to Yuesheng Group, created Dou Dou's body, and incidentally snatched away the control of the Mathematics Research Institute? Do you think those Dou Dous hanging around there every day are just for show?

And those self-adaptive unmanned transport vehicles Dou Dou designed have already started mass production but are not equipped with systems, assembled ones are just stored in warehouses waiting. Let me tell you, there's a lot more going on here. Some things you just can't think too deeply about. Qiao Ze is now a national treasure, you know. To use an inappropriate analogy, you're like a zookeeper for a national treasure...hehe..."

Having said that, Xu Dajiang himself seemed to think that this metaphor was a bit too far-fetched and started chuckling to himself.

After he had his laugh, he continued, "Anyway, there's nothing much for you to worry about in your life. As long as Qiao Ze is here, you are as stable as Mount Tai. Let me put it this way, even if you blew up our university's administration building today, as long as no one got hurt, old Chen would still find an excuse that the building was due for demolition anyway, and cover for you. Really, if I were you, I would walk from the west gate of the school to the east gate every day with my nose in the air!"

After finishing his speech, the two had already walked out of the courtyard. Xu Dajiang, paying no attention to Li Jiangao, who had fallen into deep thought, patted Director Li's shoulder and said indicatively, "Jian Gao, listen to me, you can't be too modest and honest in your position now. Be bold, it's all right. But don't ever try to learn from Yu Chenggong. That guy is a real sly fox. If you start emulating him... then there will be big trouble, and you might even end up over the head of President Chen...haha!"

He could pour his heart out in saying these words, showing that he truly regarded Li Jiangao as kin, to the greatest extent.

As for whether Li Jiangao felt the same way, and how he would choose to tread the path ahead—if he still wanted to meddle, that would be overstepping.

In Xu Dajiang's view, Li Jiangao was all good except for being somewhat too honest.

But then again, if Li Jiangao wasn't this sincerely honest, Qiao Ze, a person rational to his bones, probably wouldn't show such special regard for Li Jiangao. It's as if their fates were predestined.

As for Li Jiangao...

He probably just felt that his values had been overturned once more.

Interpersonal relationships are indeed too complicated.

Perhaps Qiao Ze is the smart one, staying inside the Mathematics Research Institute, minding his own business, discussing only academics with others—this probably avoids ninety percent of the world's troubles, right?

Thinking about all these messy issues, he suddenly envied Qiao Ze. Just by closing his door, he could keep all the nonsense out. To be able to focus one hundred percent on his field of interest must be bliss, no?

After being stunned for quite a while, Li Jiangao shook his head and headed to his own office.

He admitted that Xu Dajiang might be making a lot of sense, but could a person's character change so easily?

As for learning from Yu Chenggong?

He didn't have that eloquence or the ability to read people and situations.

But if Qiao Ze was willing, he probably really could imitate him quite well, couldn't he?

...

Of course, Qiao Ze wouldn't be interested in these matters.

In the past few days, Su Mucheng's schedule was packed, or perhaps Su was enjoying herself immensely after letting loose.

Especially after Su learned that Edward Witten needed to use the office for some time, she found the perfect excuse.

If she kept to her usual routine of spending every day in the office with Qiao Ze, it would interfere with their academic discussions and might even impact the progress of human civilization. Therefore, this week she took on the mission of helping Li promote the institute, and decided to play with a sense of purpose.

Elevating the reason for her outing to this height, all of humanity should be thankful for Su's dedication.

Honestly, with such awareness, anyone else would give her a thumbs-up and commend Su for truly understanding the bigger picture, having insight, knowing how to sacrifice, the quintessential role model of the era.

Naturally, Qiao Ze had no objections.

Although he had little interest in wandering around, Qiao Ze didn't think enjoying these activities was wrong.

But on the other hand, Su Mucheng's absence indeed made Edward Witten much more at ease.

Frankly speaking, when the esteemed scholar learned that the other spot in Qiao Ze's office was dedicated for Qiao Ze's girlfriend to study, he was somewhat thrown off. He was much more comfortable when it was just the two of them.

Edward Witten's energy was still quite robust.

Most of the time, he would sit there quietly reading papers, and indeed, we should thank the AI translation tools for significantly lowering the language barrier to reading.

But there would definitely be places where the translation was imperfect.

If that didn't hinder translation into English, maybe Qiao Ze wouldn't be too proud to not write English papers.

When it comes to many definitive things, Qiao Ze couldn't be bothered to waste the brain cells.

That's when the advantages of crossing thousands of miles to come here became apparent.

With Qiao Ze within sight, Edward Witten always found time for face-to-face communication with Qiao Ze.

Whether it was during a meal break or a walk after dinner, Edward Witten could clarify the obscure concepts he encountered while reading papers and also discuss his understanding of the micro-world. Occasionally, they would even touch upon his proposed M-theory.
