Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 437 - 207: Talks in the Small Courtyard That Could Shake the Past and Dazzle the Present_2

Su Mucheng thought to herself, but her little mouth didn’t stop moving.

After all, she was really good at the consultation matters raised by the two academicians, and there was nothing she couldn’t discuss.

However, Su Mucheng was already thinking about how to arrogantly show off to her family’s Elder Su.

Two members of the Science Academy’s presidium, showing such warmth and even proactively adding her on WeChat... Would Elder Su be able to receive such treatment if she were with him?

"...That’s about it, Qiao Ze is actually really easy to get along with. The misunderstanding that he doesn’t like to talk is really just that, a misunderstanding. He simply doesn’t like to speak nonsense. In Qiao’s words, the very point of language is efficient communication, not wasting each other’s time with the opening and closing of our mouths."

So when you really discuss serious matters with him, especially academic matters, Qiao actually has a lot to say. If, while you’re talking to him, you suddenly find Qiao has stopped talking, that must mean you’ve said something completely pointless, you know, ’the more one speaks, the more likely they are to slip up.’

After listening to Su Mucheng’s summary, Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang looked at each other.

They feared this girl had the wrong idea of what ’easy to get along with’ meant, and the use of the idiom ’the more one speaks, the more likely they are to slip up’ here made their hearts surge with emotion.

Nonetheless, with a gentle voice, Zhang Mingrui said, "Thank you, Su, you’ve really helped us out a lot. It seems that this afternoon when we meet with Qiao Ze, Zhou and I will need to carefully consider how to chat with him, haha..."

The hearty laughter made everyone lift the corners of their mouths and join in with the laughter.

Just as everyone was laughing heartily, Su Mucheng’s eyes suddenly gleamed with a new idea, "Oh, right, there’s something you need to be particularly careful about when asking Qiao questions. It’s best not to use a rising intonation. Qiao is actually quite proud, and unless you’re truly stronger than him and make him concede, it’s best not to appear prouder than he is.

We have a research fellow named Hanna, and she is actually pretty nice, smart, and talented. But because she questioned Qiao with a rising intonation during their first meeting, although I begged Qiao to let her join the research institute, she’s been left out in the cold ever since.

Moreover, Qiao originally wanted Professor Xu to take the lead in cooperating with some international academic institutions, to derive the fundamental concepts and properties of superspiral algebra. But it all fell through simply because the invitees weren’t careful with the way they spoke, hence Qiao simply gave up on the idea."

With these words, the table fell into silence.

This was something even Xu Dajiang didn’t know about.

Was this the reason why there was no follow-up to that day’s report meeting?

Is Qiao Ze really that sensitive?

For a moment, even Xu Dajiang began to introspect, wondering if he had committed any faux pas before. Then he felt a bit relieved, it seemed he had not...

Fortunately, fortunately...

Otherwise, would the good impression he had hardly earned plummet?

As for Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang at today’s dinner, they felt that it was indeed not a mistake to bring Su Mucheng out for a chat in advance.

Such detailed information was simply something they hadn’t thought of, and probably only this young lady in front of them knew about it, right?

"Thank you, Su. Really, if we can talk about this matter with Qiao Ze successfully, you will have made a great contribution to the development of China’s mathematical theory! I must suggest that the Chinese Mathematical Society award you an honorary title!"

When Zhou Liang said this with utmost seriousness, everyone grew solemn.

Except for Su Mucheng...

The young girl could only think of one explanation—perhaps the old gentleman just wanted her to say a few good words on her behalf when she returned to the institute, right?

Also, what the hell is an honorary title?!

...

"Honorary title?"

In the institute’s office, Qiao Ze was also momentarily stumped by this title, then casually asked, "Dou Dou, what is an honorary title?"

In an instant, the newly installed speakers emitted Dou Dou’s unique childlike voice:

"Generally, it refers to a ceremonial title awarded by a university or a particular professional society to encourage distinguished scholars to participate in a field of research. It is recognized only by the awarding institution, valid for a period determined by the needs of the relevant institution, and can be revoked at any time, with no limit on the number of awards.

Quite often, generous donations to a research institution can also secure this honor. Simply put, its biggest use is that it sounds impressive, can be used to intimidate laypeople, and has no practical significance."

Su Mucheng blinked.

Oh...

So it’s used to impress people...

The young girl suddenly became interested.

After all, an academician title was something Su Mucheng couldn’t really accept; announcing it would only lead to being laughed at by insiders. But if it was just a title for show, it seemed quite fun.

And it was an honorary title from an esteemed institution like the Chinese Mathematical Society, perfect for tricking her dad.

What was most important was that it didn’t cost a dime, just a meal and a few words.

"Qiao, this honorary title sounds kind of fun," she commented.

Qiao Ze looked at Su Mucheng, "You want it?"

Su Mucheng quickly nodded.

"Oh, alright."

Qiao Ze agreed, as it wasn’t contrary to his decision; just a reminder after the afternoon’s discussion. Such cost-free, wholesale titles for currying favor with others could still be handed out even if negotiations broke down, and they probably wouldn’t hold a grudge over it.

And if they did, it wouldn’t matter; since a university could also award it, a title in the name of the Xilin University of Technology School of Mathematics would do just the same.
