Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 377 - 134: Keen on Mathematics and Aspiring High Goals_2

This kind of unexpected, sudden news is usually not very good. But this time, the situation is obviously different.

News came from France...

As a result, the entire Star City, or rather the entire Xiangnan system, Xingtie First Middle School and Qiao Yu both became famous, completely blew up.

Of course, not everyone is happy at this moment, some are both happy and conflicted.

For example, Principal He...

"...Today, a journalist claiming to be from Central Media called the school to verify some information about Qiao Yu, but he didn’t say what it was about, and I didn’t receive any news here, I even thought..."

"Yes, yes, yes, I shouldn’t have assumed, it’s my fault for being insensitive to these situations. Sigh, I really had no idea, who would have thought Qiao Yu would suddenly go and give the opening report at the French Mathematicians’ Conference."

"Hmm, don’t worry, the school will definitely seize this opportunity, focus on our distinctive education, especially start targeted development of the school’s advantaged subjects... yes, yes, understood..."

It took a while before He Duchang hung up the phone.

Watching TV, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He was actually feeling a bit wronged inside, I mean, who could’ve imagined something like this!

He had at most hoped that in July, Qiao Yu would make an appearance at the IMO competition, so the school could get a bit of spotlight in the news and gain some attention. Who would have thought Qiao Yu would directly bring him something big...

It was the 7 o’clock news, and it mentioned the school three whole times! Pressure maxed out...

He Duchang felt that if he couldn’t achieve something after this, there’s a high likelihood he couldn’t hold onto his principal position anymore.

After the leader on the other side finally hung up, He Duchang directly dialed Lan Jie’s number.

His relationship with Qiao Yu was distant, but Lan Jie had a good relationship with Qiao Yu.

When Qiao Yu returns this time, no matter what, he must invite this kid back to the school.

Forget about giving a moral boost to the students, Qiao Yu just gave a lecture at the end of March. But this time, when Qiao Yu comes, he plans to find a way to invite some journalists, and district or city leaders to come.

In front of a sixteen-year-old mathematics genius who appeared on the Central Media’s 7 o’clock news, promising special treatment and policies for the genius’s alma mater should be no problem, right?

It’s just a pity, Lan Jie’s line was busy...

Sigh, maybe I’ll call again later! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

...

Lan Jie was making a call to Qiao Xi...

In fact, Lan Jie didn’t have the habit of sitting in front of the TV to watch the 7 o’clock news, he found out from a group.

In this era, the internet is so developed, it wasn’t even 7:30 yet, and the part just introducing Qiao Yu had already been clipped into a short video. In fact, such videos are really easy to spread, only a little over a minute long, it doesn’t waste much of anyone’s patience.

After watching it, Lan Jie was stunned. After coming back to his senses, his first reaction was to try to forward the video to Qiao Xi, but unfortunately, he didn’t have Qiao Xi’s WeChat, only Qiao Xi’s phone number.

This made Lan Jie a bit hesitant, if he directly added Qiao Xi on WeChat, it always felt strange, so he chose to call her first.

"Teacher Lan, hello, what’s the matter?"

Qiao Xi’s voice always had a kind of casual laziness, but it sounded very pleasant.

This is probably also why Lan Jie never added Qiao Xi.

A woman about the same age as him, whose looks and figure almost perfectly meet his aesthetic standards, or rather, very beautiful and single, and has a genius son, if interacted with too much, it might cause her unnecessary trouble.

As Qiao Yu said, good guys often have little courage in this regard, especially when the other party is a woman he can nearly find no flaws in.

"Oh, it’s like this, Qiao Yu’s mom, you might not know, um, Qiao Yu, yes, Qiao Yu just appeared on the 7 o’clock news, my classmate clipped the video of him being on the news, guessing you might not have seen it yet, so I plan to send it to you on WeChat. So could you add me on WeChat?"

Lan Jie was a bit nervous, stuttering slightly when he spoke, completely unlike his usual confident self in the classroom.

"Huh? Qiao Yu was on the 7 o’clock news? Didn’t he go to France for a math conference?"

"What? Brother was on the 7 o’clock news? Really?"

Lan Jie heard another voice on the other end of the phone, but it didn’t seem to concern him, he immediately explained: "Yes, that French conference, he made the opening report as an invited guest. This is a great honor in the mathematics world, probably because of this, Central Media’s 7 o’clock news gave Qiao Yu a lot of camera time."

Okay, by this time Lan Jie had already calmed down.

In fact, thinking about it, he really wasn’t trying to get anything from her, there’s no need to be so nervous.

"Thank you so much, Teacher Lan, my WeChat ID is this phone number. Are you adding me now?"

"Okay, I’ll add you on WeChat right after we hang up."

"Alright."

...

In Railway New Village, in Qiao Yu’s room, Qiao Xi put down the phone and looked at Xia Keke, who was sitting beside her with a physics book in hand, and said with a smile: "Don’t worry, that Teacher Lan said he’s adding me on WeChat soon to send me the video."

"Wow, it must be true then, Qiao Yu’s brother is too amazing, isn’t he? He’s only been at Yanbei University for a few months and he’s already able to give a report at the World Mathematics Conference and appeared on the 7 o’clock news, he’s just...he’s just..."
