The End of Technology

When a proud person discovers that a problem that has stumped him for a long time can be solved in one day using mathematical methods proposed by others, he will easily fall into deep self-doubt.

Being easily defeated by others in the areas in which they are best at but not the best in areas is a huge blow to Dominite.

No less painful than losing a mother.

The moment the problem that troubled him was solved by Ning Zi's method, he fell into deep self-doubt. And suddenly I had a clearer and more thorough understanding of myself.

Why does he like rolls?

He actually just likes to win! I like the feeling of victory!

I like the admiring looks in people's eyes and compliments when they see him!

What he likes more is that someone sees him unhappy but looks helpless to him!

Instead of rolling to the end, he would look at others with reverence and compliment others, and there would be nothing others could do!

If this is the end result, wouldn't it be better for him to lie flat? Are you so hungry anyway? !

Dominette Duncan, who has long been accustomed to receiving positive feedback in the field of mathematics, is going crazy.

He began to have deeper suspicions.

How is it possible for a person to master so many mathematical skills at the age of 20? Has made achievements in so many directions?

He called Robert Caney and asked about his doubts.

"Duncan, I can probably understand how you feel, but... you know, some people really can't use common sense to speculate. And I know a little bit about Ning Zi's situation. He doesn't have the conditions you think of. .His family is very ordinary, so ordinary... Let me tell you, he is like those young people who grew up in single-parent families in small towns here. Their parents are divorced, they have no assets, and they live a hard life. They have been educated in public schools since childhood... …”

However, Robert Cairney's words did not completely dispel Dominic Duncan's doubts. He is recognized as an extremely talented player. Of course, he knows better than the average person how difficult it is to achieve success in mathematics. Talent does not mean Explain everything.

At this moment, he was eager to get to know Ning Zi, so he started to call again, and after asking several professors he had frequent contact with, he repeatedly got the numbers of Fan Zhenhua and Lu Zhengyue.

After all, Ning Zi is a rising star in mathematics. No matter how impressive his achievements are, he has not yet integrated into the mainstream Western academic circles, and everyone is unfamiliar with this young man.

Fan Zhenhua, Lu Zhengyue and Ning Ji were both from China. At the same time, they were both reviewers of Ning Ji's paper, so they naturally knew more about it.

The communication with Fan Zhenhua was quite satisfactory. After all, this old academician Fan had a quite satisfactory character. Knowing the purpose of Dominic Duncan's call, Fan Zhenhua didn't mind wasting more than ten minutes. He concealed some key information about his contact with Ning Zi and told Dominic about it.

But in fact, it sounds like nonsense to Dominic. Because it's pretty much what Robert Caney told him.

However, Dominit was inspired when he called Lu Zhengyue.

"You ask me? Am I still curious? Then I can only tell you that that kid is a genius, a real genius. I admit that you are also a genius, but I speak frankly, and you just can't compare to him. Of course this is not I'm not belittling you, because I can't compare to him, and even my tutor can't compare to him! But I have made a decision to go to his school next semester to keep an eye on him. If I find anything by then, I can tell you Let’s talk. But for now, all you need to know is that he is a genius!”

He does not mean that.

When Lu Zhengyue told Dominic Duncan about his idea, this talented mathematician suddenly had an extremely bold and crazy idea in his mind, but he still couldn't suppress it at all...

To understand a person, shouldn't you be by his side and see with your own eyes what he does every day?

…

"Duncan, are you crazy? I can understand if you want to go to Berkeley, Princeton, or even Columbia University. Now you tell me to go to China? Do you understand China? Can you adapt to life there? Now, immediately Take back your resignation letter and I will pretend this never happened."

"Mr. Lawrence Summers, this is a decision made after careful consideration. In fact, I already know about China. Many professors in the school have gone to China for academic exchanges. They told me that the capital of China is actually similar to Washington, and even many places It’s busier than Washington. Although some of their dishes are weird, I can definitely find a restaurant that suits my taste. And I’m not particular about food.”

Harvard University, in the president's office.

Dominette Duncan was sitting opposite the then principal Lawrence Summers. On the large desk was the resignation letter that Dominette had just submitted.

"Is it just a matter of food? You want to teach, not simply academic exchanges and academic visits! Once you make this decision, you need to stay there for a long time! Do you know what this is related to? It is related to whether you can continue Gaining attention! It affects whether you will be marginalized by mainstream academic circles! Dominic, don’t make fun of your future!”

Lawrence looked angry.

He was caught off guard by Dominic's extremely sudden resignation request.

Harvard has given this talented young man everything he needs, including fame, but apparently this young guy is not grateful.

For him, letting a star mathematics professor who is very likely to win the Fields Medal to leave would be irresponsible to Harvard. You may even be criticized. Principals of private colleges like him are appointed under an appointment system and are accountable to the school board.

He could imagine how angry the school directors would be when Dominic left. This is like a pig that you have worked hard to raise for a year, but someone else took it away before you could kill it and taste some of its meat.

"Don't worry, Mr. Summers. We often say that the world always opens its hands, ready to accept talents. China is still in this world, and it will be the same wherever I want to do research. Of course, when I come back in the future, I will definitely consider Harvard first, after all, I enjoy my stay here.”

…

After a full three-hour confrontation in the principal's office, Lawrence Summers was finally defeated.

But in the end the two discussed a compromise plan.

Dominique Duncan does not need to resign for the time being. Harvard University has promised to send Dominique to the school where Ning Zhe is studying through an official exchange professorship. For Dominit, this is obviously the most perfect plan. Anyway, he doesn't really want to stay in China for the rest of his life. He just wanted to take a closer look at Ning Zi and see how this guy cheated.

What finally convinced Lawrence was not only Dominic's resolute attitude, but also his words: "Think about it, Lawrence, maybe I can persuade Ning Zi to come to Harvard? If he is really that capable, he will be able to rise infinitely." The strength of the math department.”

how to say?

This idea is really possible.

Just like the American saying just mentioned by Dominic, Harvard has always opened its hands and is ready to accept talents.

It would be great if Dominic can really bring Ning Zi back during this trip to China. In fact, they already had a lot of thoughts about Ning Zi.

"Then that's it. I will facilitate this professor exchange activity in the near future. Maybe next month you will be able to embark on a journey to China. But, Dominic, you are a talented young man, don't take your eyes off It's too narrow. It's not good for your future."

"Of course, thank you, Mr. Summers."

…

Yanbei Sports University, Office of International Exchange and Cooperation.

Basically, this department is directly responsible for contact and management of all foreign-related affairs of Yanbei Sports University.

So even though it's summer, someone still has to be on duty.

First of all, the office is responsible for the management of international students. Even in the summer, there are many international students staying at the University of Physical Education. Secondly, although China is on summer vacation, some international exchange activities still require coordination and planning, including some overseas publicity work of the school and various tasks involving school teachers going abroad on official business, which require unified coordination and arrangements by the department.

Bei Xiaowei was sitting in front of her office, sorting out documents slowly.

Every winter and summer vacation, when the school becomes deserted and the teachers who still need to be on duty inevitably slack off a bit.

Fortunately, although there is still some work to be done, it is not too much.

As long as it's not too much, no one will care if you get off work an hour and a half or an hour early.

The computer showed that it was four o'clock in five minutes. This was just enough time for her to finish the work at hand, and then she planned to leave work early. The Xinzhongguan Shopping Center she often visits sent a message that there are relatively favorable discounts available today.

She had previously taken a fancy to a windbreaker in the Ryslade store in the mall. It was very flattering and could be bought as a birthday gift for her husband. However, the price was a bit expensive and she had been hesitant. This time, she was able to buy it at a discount. By the way, she also bought it. I can go shopping with my best friend I haven’t dated for a long time and pick out two dresses for myself. After all, a woman’s wardrobe is always missing a piece of seasonal clothing.

However, the fax machine in the corner of the office rang twice at an inappropriate time and started printing automatically.

Bei Xiaowei looked at the time, it was already 3:58.

She made an appointment with her best friend to meet at the entrance of the mall at five o'clock, and there was still time. So her hands moved faster, and after arranging all the documents on the table in three or two strokes, Bei Xiaowei stood up, went to the fax machine that had stopped working, and picked up the documents that had just been faxed. If you can work in the International Exchange Office, reading English will be no problem.

"Invitation letter for long-term academic exchange at Harvard University professor level?"

After seeing the header of this official letter, Bei Xiaowei quickly lowered her eyes to the bottom. It was indeed the seal of Harvard University. Bei Xiaowei also looked at the school name carefully, fearing that some pheasant school had changed one of the letters to pretend to be Harvard, which would be a joke.

After double-checking that there was nothing wrong with the school name, Bei Xiaowei began to read the text of the letter.

Probably Harvard University hopes to enhance understanding with Yanbei Sports University, so it proposed an academic exchange activity. The specific plan is for each party to send a professor from the school's dominant major to the other school for a tentative one-year exchange teaching activity. The main expenses incurred are borne by Harvard, including the salaries and subsidies for exchange professors from the university to the United States.

In addition, there are the materials and resumes of professors from Harvard who came to the National Sports University for exchange this time.

Dominic Duncan, a 26-year-old associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at Harvard, has a string of academic achievements and award-winning experiences behind him. What is more eye-catching is that this mathematics professor has won the Balzahn Prize in Mathematics and the Wiener Prize in Applied Mathematics awarded by the American Mathematical Society.

Of course, these are not important. At the age of 26, he was able to obtain the title of associate professor at Harvard. This resume is already dazzling enough.

Bei Xiaowei clearly remembered that when she was twenty-six years old, she had just finished her first year of Ph.D., and was still worried about how to choose a topic for her Ph.D. proposal. However, she was already an associate professor, and she could not be a full professor in another two years... Thirty Full professors before the age of 18 are very rare even in the world.

Of course, this kind of person will not be an unknown person. It is normal for him to have won several science awards.

However, Bei Xiaowei's focus is obviously not here, but a place to go to Harvard for a one-year exchange.

If this news is true, I am afraid that the professors of the dominant subjects in the school who are qualified to go there will fight over it, right?

There are not many opportunities for sports universities to go abroad for academic exchanges, not to mention that this time it is Harvard University in the United States, which is ranked among the top in the world. Not to mention being able to go to the United States for a year to experience the customs and customs there, this year alone is the world's top university. Various exchange experiences can make your resume more glamorous.

The only problem was that Bei Xiaowei couldn't figure out what Harvard University was thinking. It sent a mathematics professor to the university for exchange, which made her very doubtful about the authenticity of the fax.

Of course she knew that Yanbei University was assisting the National Sports University in setting up a mathematics department. It was said that it was for the sake of a child who was extremely talented in mathematics. The teachers in the office also had a special discussion at that time, and later Ning Zi became a hot search topic, which caused everyone in the office to speculate about this child.

But Chen Yonggang has not revealed to anyone that Lu Zhengyue is coming to the university.

Although Bei Xiaowei guessed that if Harvard University's professor exchange application was genuine, it would most likely be related to Ning Zi, she couldn't figure out why Harvard University would pay attention to it in this way.

But Bei Xiaowei hoped that the fax was true.

Because she knew the value of this news very well, this spot was too precious.

If she could confirm the authenticity of the news and reveal the news in advance to a professor with sufficient qualifications at the school, it would be a huge favor. Maybe I will use it when I need help in the future?

Now I couldn't take care of the shopping appointment I had made with my best friend.

Bei Xiaowei first found the contact information of Harvard University through the internal network, and verified it with the email address and phone number on the fax. After confirming that they were consistent, she made a special call.

The other person answered the phone, and an administrator named Thompson confirmed to her that the fax was from Harvard University. He also said that this is Harvard University’s most important long-term academic exchange event in the second half of the year.

And it was precisely because it was important that he sent this fax at five in the morning...

Yes, it was still early morning in Cambridge at this time, so my sincerity was immediately full.

The real situation is that yesterday this dear friend forgot what was repeatedly explained above, and made a temporary remedy after remembering it.

After getting a positive reply, Bei Xiaowei put down the phone and excitedly put the fax back into the fax machine. It was as if the fax machine received it automatically. No one had paid attention to it, but it suddenly occurred to her that she had just used it. The phone call between the office phone and Harvard made me feel a little uneasy.

After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the phone.

"Hey, Director Li, I have something to report to you. Harvard University just sent a fax, saying that it wants to conduct a one-year exchange professor academic exchange with us... Yes, yes... They appointed a mathematics professor, but they had no requirements for us. They only said that it was an exchange of dominant subjects... I had already verified the number and called the other party to confirm..."

Sure enough, the director on the other side of the phone was also confused and kept asking questions on the phone...

"As for the expenses, the other party said they are willing to pay, including the exchange professor's round-trip transportation, salary, bonus, and living allowance. What are the requirements? They didn't say there were any special requirements! Oh, by the way, the other party said on the phone that they hope we can provide access as soon as possible. The professor’s information is convenient for both parties to send invitation letters to each other for visa procedures, and strive to start this exchange activity before the new semester...Okay, I will take the photo for you."

Finally getting through it on the phone, as if the director was more curious than she was, Bei Xiaowei hung up the phone, picked up her phone and took a photo of Harvard's invitation, then sent it to Director Li, and then quickly He started to pack his things and then walked out of the office.

There was nothing she needed to worry about next.

Academic exchanges with Harvard University must be arranged personally. Bei Xiaowei filtered the names of familiar professors in her mind.

Professor Ma? No, my qualifications are too low and I probably can’t compete.

Professor Liu? Well, he is strict with his wife. She definitely doesn't want him to go abroad for a year. Maybe a good thing will turn into a bad thing.

Professor Zheng? Yes, Professor Zheng is a nice person, and his qualifications must be sufficient. He is just fifty this year, and his wife often needs to go on business trips. Anyway, the couple spends less time together and more time apart. Moreover, he has stayed in school for a long time and has many connections. When he wants to make a move in the future, his words will definitely help.

Just like that, when Bei Xiaowei got into the taxi, she had already thought of everything.

…

Chen Yonggang received a call from the head of the school’s International Office on the high-speed train.

He was having such an exciting time during this period that he needed to make some adjustments and think about the school's development ideas.

After all, a senior academician took the initiative to take up a teaching position in the school. If he did not take advantage of it, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part as the principal. This time he was going to northern China, and he planned to find an old friend who was now the president of a 985 university in the north to learn from him - for example, how to drain the resources of academician bosses.

For an academician to be willing to dedicate everything to the school, this is a profound knowledge that managers must master.

Chen Yonggang thought that after accepting the fact that Lu Zhengyue was coming to the National Sports University as a mathematics professor, no matter what happened, he would be able to face it calmly and would not be surprised anymore.

But the content of the report on the phone still made him lose his temper.

"Harvard is going to conduct a one-year professor exchange with us? Is it the Harvard in Cambridge?"

"Yes, Principal Chen, the office has already confirmed it, and I just confirmed it again. And the other party seems to be in a hurry. I hope we can send the invitation letter as soon as possible, as well as the professor information we exchanged."

"Which professor was sent from Harvard?"

"Professor Dominic Duncan, I have sent his resume to your email. He is a very young mathematics professor. I asked about it and heard that many people in the west are recommending him, and there is a saying that he I’m almost certain to win the Fields Medal next year.”

The tone on the phone was excited.

But Chen Yonggang is not excited at all...

Ha... Harvard University, a Philippine award-winning mathematics professor, came to be an exchange professor with the university.

These foreigners are too immodest. Can't they cover it up a little? Want to poach people and do it so openly...

Really, before today, Chen Yonggang never imagined that one day, Harvard University would take the initiative to conduct long-term professor-level exchange activities with the National Sports University, but the first thing that came to his mind was what legitimate reasons should be used to clearly refuse.

After hanging up the phone with Director Li, Chen Yonggang first opened his mailbox, downloaded Dominette Duncan's resume and browsed it for a while, then thought for a moment and simply called Lu Zhengyue.

This is a ready-made strategist. Anyway, he will report to the National Sports University next month. At this time, it is natural to refer to the opinion of this boss.

"Why does Dominic want to come to Physical Education University to be an exchange professor?"

"Yes, the formal invitation letter from Harvard today is tentatively scheduled for a one-year professor exchange activity."

"It's a good thing, let him come. The National Sports University just has a place for exchange to Harvard. By the way, you can tell them directly that the school has no budget. They proposed this event and all the expenses will be borne by them. . There are not many good opportunities like this. When you can get the wool of capitalism, don't be polite to them. I tell you, Harvard is very rich and doesn't care about such a small expense."

"Ahem, this... Actually, we don't need to mention it. They have already said that they will be responsible for all the expenses of this exchange activity, including the salaries, benefits and temporary living allowances of the professors from both sides during the exchange period. I am here Aren’t you worried about this? I heard that this professor might win the Fields Medal next year?”

"Well, I've also heard about this news, but as long as the conference hasn't started yet, the conclusion has not been sealed. I can only say that the possibility is very high, but whether he will win the Fields Medal or not depends on this inter-school professor exchange activity. What's up?"

"Mr. Lu, aren't you worried that he will come and abduct Ning Zi?"

"Haha, I mean, Principal Chen, you are really worrying about the gains and losses after you have tasted the benefits. Think about it, if a student like Ning Zi really wants to leave, can you stop him? You can do it while he is still in the University. When the time comes, just take advantage as soon as you can. Well, if you reject Harvard, they will turn around and hook up with Yanbei University for exchanges. If you come here, you can still run to the University of Science and Technology every day. Are you not dumbfounded? Already?"

This sentence was like an enlightenment, which instantly brought Chen Yonggang back to his senses.

As expected, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. He almost got in.

"Mr. Lu, if you don't tell me, I really didn't expect this. Okay, I'll ask the school to respond to Harvard as soon as possible and finalize this matter first. But think about it carefully, if Professor Duncan and Ning meet next year We all won the Fields Medal, so it’s time for our university to become famous around the world, right?”

“I don’t know whether the National University of Physical Education can become famous, but I believe that if you can keep these two people, recruit some more professors in the country, and build up the mathematics department in a serious way, the mathematics major of the National University of Physical Education in the future will be better. It’s not a big problem to squeeze into the top 50 in the global rankings.”

…

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yonggang was really confused.

I thought that when Ning Zi came, it would be a one-time deal in the past four years.

It doesn’t matter whether the mathematics major of the National Sports University can continue to be offered in four years’ time.

But now that Lu Zhengyue said this, his thoughts were different.

I have boasted about my awesomeness outside before, but now I really want to try it.

After all, excluding the martial arts major that is full of local characteristics, Yanbei University of Physical Education really does not have any advantageous major that can make it into the top 50 in the global professional rankings. Making mathematics the dominant subject of Yanbei University of Physical Education is more than just a slogan.

As for whether he can keep Dominic at the University of Sports, Chen Yonggang doesn't consider it at all. All he needs to do is win over Ning Jie. Harvard has set a precedent, maybe other schools will follow suit?

Leave a kindling there, and you're afraid the moths won't pounce on you?

…

Zhuo Mingqian was reading a book in the bedroom.

He has been in a low mood recently. Ever since he excitedly bought breakfast for Ning Zi that morning, but found that he couldn't knock the door, and after asking, he found out that Ning Zi had gone out, his mood has not been good.

The relationship between his brother-in-law and him has faded away!

It’s understandable that you have to go out for something urgent, but why can’t you take the time to tell him on WeChat?

Not to mention that after Ning Zi came back, she became much colder towards him.

Yes, Zhuo Mingqian's inner activities have always been extremely rich.

This probably has something to do with his delicate mind.

Of course, on the other hand, without such a delicate mind, it would be difficult to truly observe people in every detail and then say some heart-warming words.

Just when Zhuo Mingqian was feeling worried, his phone rang, and "The Controller of Destiny" was displayed on the screen.

This was a note he gave to his big boss, his doctoral supervisor. It was actually very appropriate. After all, it was this person who basically had the final say on whether he could graduate in a few years.

Not to mention that doctoral supervisors have the power of life and death over their students. Especially when it comes to opportunities such as studying abroad and joining a good project team during the doctoral study, the supervisor also has the right to decide whose turn it will be.

In short, once a doctoral supervisor is selected, at least the fate of the PhD years is basically out of your control. The supervisor basically has the final say. So meeting a good mentor is definitely a lifetime blessing. As for what happens if you encounter a scumbag mentor, unless you are a ruthless person who can spare the rest of his life, or you are a great person like Ning Zi, there is a high probability that you will live a miserable life in the past few years, and even affect your whole life.

Speaking of which, Lao Zheng is quite a good person and has a good reputation among students.

Of course, it was not all luck to choose Lao Zheng as his mentor. Zhuo Mingqian would never gamble on luck on such a key issue that determines fate. He studied at the National University of Physical Education during his undergraduate studies, and when he decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, he researched all the tutors in the school who had admission quotas.

The benefits of being thick-skinned are revealed in this process. At that time, he was squatting near the graduate building of the school, getting close to his senior brothers and sisters, and instigating his mentor in various ways, and finally set his sights on Zheng Guangming.

Facts also proved that his choice was correct, and the two of them got along very harmoniously.

…

"Hey, boss, what are your orders?" After answering the call, Zhuo Mingqian's tone instantly became enthusiastic.

"Ming Qian, I heard you say before that you have a good relationship with Ning Zi next door?"

Hearing this topic, Zhuo Mingqian immediately said: "Yes, boss, to tell you the truth, my relationship with Ning Zi is so good now that we almost wear a pair of pants to go out. Two days ago, he said he wanted to marry his cousin Introduce him to me so that you can be my brother-in-law."

"Haha, you kid. Okay, I'll give you a task. Harvard University is going to have a one-year professor exchange with our sports university, and I want to fight for this opportunity. You have a good relationship with Ning Zi, help me go there Talk to him and see if he can find an opportunity to talk to Principal Chen about this matter. As you can imagine, it is not convenient for me to talk to Ning Ju about this matter."

Zhuo Mingqian suddenly felt that he had been bitchy again. This bragging was a bit big and it was difficult to accept it.

Let Ning Zi go to the principal to intercede with his mentor?

How could he be sure whether Ning Zi would give him this face?

At the same time, these words made him a little confused.

When Harvard University communicates with the National Sports University, can Ning Zi still be able to speak?

We are all students, and he is still a doctoral student. Why can my brother-in-law be so arrogant?

Then he asked: "No, boss, would it be useful to approach Ning Ju for this kind of academic exchange? Can Principal Chen still listen to his advice?"

"I don't know about other situations, but I can't say that his words are really useful this time. The person appointed by Harvard University is a mathematics professor, do you understand? I just called the admissions office specifically to ask. Because I didn't have time to publicize this year. , and didn’t make any preparations, so there was only one freshman student in our school’s mathematics department throughout the school year, with more than a dozen people surrounding him, and this time there was an additional mathematics professor from Harvard.”

Zhuo Mingqian fell silent after hearing Lao Zheng's words.

He felt that he might have had a prosthesis, and he knew that Ning Zi was very good. But he really didn't expect to be so awesome.

For a moment, he even sympathized with Ning Zi.

As we all know, it is difficult for people who are too awesome to have true friends. After all, most of the people approaching this kind of awesome people have various purposes, whether for fame or profit, and it is difficult to be sincere.

However, Zhuo Mingqian felt that he could fill this gap.

After all, he really wanted Ning Zi to be his brother-in-law.

He was sighing in his heart, but he said bitterly: "Isn't it right? Boss, what will I do if you go out for a whole year?"

"What are you worrying about? I will arrange the topics and work for you before I leave. You just have to complete it step by step. Besides, how convenient is communication now? If you have any difficulties, you can contact me at any time as long as you calculate the time difference. By the way, Let me tell you one more thing. It has been confirmed that Academician Lu Zhengyue will also transfer to the Department of Mathematics of our University of Physical Education next month. Do you understand why? Having a good relationship with Ning Ju will only be good for you in the future. In short, this matter I leave it to you."

Zhuo Mingqian subconsciously agreed: "Okay, I'll talk to you later."

…

After hanging up the tutor's phone, Zhuo Mingqian was still sitting there, but he couldn't read the book anyway.

Zheng Guangming's words just now gave him a clearer understanding of how tyrannical his future brother-in-law was.

Now that Ning Zi has not officially entered school, who is the professor who can participate in suggesting that the school go to Harvard University for exchanges? In a few years, Ning Zi will be able to participate in suggesting things. Zhuo Mingqian simply dare not think about it. If someone tells him now In the future, Zhuo Mingqian will firmly believe that Ning Zi can decide who can become an academician.

He thought that the future university star not only lived next door to him, but also had a beautiful cousin. But he was worried because the university boss didn't say hello to him after going out for a few days, and Zhuo Mingqian wanted to slap him twice.

After sitting there silently to adjust his mood, Zhuo Mingqian stood up, walked out of the room, and came to Ning Ju's door.

It's good. There is light seeping out from the crack in the door, indicating that someone is there. So he raised his hand and knocked gently three times.

After waiting for a moment, I heard footsteps, and then the door was opened.

"Senior Brother Zhuo, what's wrong?" Ning Zi looked at Zhuo Mingqian and asked.

Normally Zhuo Mingqian would not come to his room at this time.

"Huh... Ning Zi, I really need your help with something. Our director Zheng just called me and asked me to tell you that he wants to exchange professors between Harvard and our school this time. See if you can Take a chance to talk to Principal Chen. Speaking of which, our boss is very pitiful. He is in his fifties. He is buried up to his chest in dirt and has not had a chance to go out and take a look..."

"stop……"

Ning Zi stopped Zhuo Mingqian from continuing, frowned, and asked in confusion: "Why does your advisor think that Harvard University's exchange professorship will be useful if I tell President Chen about it?"

"No, you don't even know yet? The exchange from Harvard University this time is a mathematics professor. Our university did not have a mathematics department before, and we are rushing to build one this year. You are the only student. Of course I'm here for you, and your opinion is of course useful. Besides, the way Principal Chen looks at you first, even if it doesn't matter, if you want to speak, he will have to obey!"

Ning Zi looked at Zhuo Mingqian's excitement and said, "Come in first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the room, came to the table, picked up his phone, looked at Zhuo Mingqian and asked: "I remember your instructor is named Zheng Guangming, right?"

Zhuo Mingqian was a little stunned when he saw Ning Zhe's series of actions, but he nodded hurriedly.

"OK."

Ning Zi answered, and then in front of Zhuo Mingqian, he found Chen Yonggang's phone number and dialed it. Then he asked directly: "Hello, Principal Chen, is there someone in the school who will go to Harvard University as an exchange professor recently?" Is there a quota?"

After hearing Ning Zi's words, Zhuo Mingqian didn't know how to evaluate it.

He didn't expect this to be done so directly.

However, the sound leakage on Ning Zi's phone was quite serious, and he could faintly hear the principal's tone of confusion.

"Yes, Ning Zi, how do you know this?"

Ning Zi replied: "Senior Brother Zhuo next door just came to me and said that his tutor, Mr. Zheng Guangming, hopes to get the opportunity to go to Harvard University for exchanges, and asked me to find an opportunity to ask about the school's intentions. Senior Brother Zhuo usually takes good care of me. , so help him ask Professor Zheng Guangming if he can go."

"What a coincidence, you name it. I was still thinking about who to send for such an important exchange event. Lao Zheng is a good person, very stable, with a relatively high teaching level, and can represent the image of the university. Okay, this The matter is settled for Lao Zheng. I'm still outside now. I will call the International Exchange Office later and ask them to prepare Lao Zheng's resume and send it to Harvard. This matter should be finalized in the next two days. .”

"Thank you, Principal Chen. Goodbye."

"Well, Ning Zi, please take some rest. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Zi looked at Zhuo Mingqian and said, "Principal Chen said that it is definitely Professor Zheng."

Zhuo Mingqian decided to change his previous evaluation.

Ning Zi's right is not to make suggestions at all, but to make decisions.

How can I be worried about who to send if there is anything right?

It would be a joke if the president didn’t have his favorite candidate for an exchange spot at Harvard.

What a great opportunity to win over people's hearts. If he were in Chen Yonggang's position, he would definitely appoint a confidant who usually follows his opinions.

In the end, Ning Zi made an appointment with his boss with just one phone call.

This face is a little too much.

"Huh...our boss has spent most of his life waiting for this opportunity. He will definitely be crazy with joy. I will go and inform him of the good news. By the way, Ning Zi, do you want my boss to come and thank you in person?"

Ning Zi shook his head and said, "This is really unnecessary. Just tell Director Zheng that it's for your own sake."

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

Zhuo Mingqian said with a sarcastic smile, and then said: "Then tell me, you have helped me so much, if there is anything you need me to do, just say it and I will do it for you right away."

Ning Zi said without hesitation: "Don't try to trick my cousin in the future."

Zhuo Mingqian shook his head decisively and seriously, and said: "I plan to launch a passionate and sincere love offensive against your cousin when she comes back from her hometown. I, my cousin-in-law, am determined. So this is the only one that won't work, so hurry up and change her." one."

Ning Zi looked at Zhuo Mingqian, speechless.

"Forget it if you don't say it. I won't disturb you anymore. You can keep this request. When I become your cousin-in-law in the future, we will be a family."

After Zhuo Mingqian finished speaking, he quickly ran out of Ning Zi's room. He was very excited and had to report the good news to the big boss. This time, thanks to Ning Zi's blessing, the big boss owed him a favor. This favor was enough to allow him to walk sideways in front of his senior brothers and sisters during the entire Ph.D.

The most important thing is Ning Zi's attitude.

Yes, this guy is always cold and cold, but at critical moments, this guy is really willing to help him!

Sure enough, when it comes to licking a dog, as long as you lick the right person, you will definitely not suffer any loss.

…

Ning Zi watched Zhuo Mingqian leave, shook his head, and then returned to the table.

If Zhuo Mingqian had come to visit him before going to Shen City, he might have considered it.

But after this trip to the deep city, Ning Zi finally had a different idea.

Since it was a simple task, he didn't mind helping those around him.

Of course, only the people around you.

Moreover, Zhuo Mingqian just interrupted a very important topic he was discussing with March, about his personal safety. But apparently March's mindset is weird.

"Meow, let's continue the topic just now. Think about it, when one day you become an enemy of all the reactionary forces in the world, how many people will want to make you lose your life?"

As soon as he sat down, he saw Mao Mao's words, which made Ning Zi fall into deep self-doubt for an instant...

"But... what is a reactionary force? And why should I be their enemy?"

"Meow, of course they are those bad guys who want to seize our property, steal our patents, and all the bad guys who have ill intentions towards us! Such people are not enemies, do you still want to be friends with them?"

Mao Mao posted an animated picture of her hands on her hips, looking upright...

But it seems to make sense...
