Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 379 - 134: Keen on Mathematics and Aspiring High Goals_4
The reason is simple, Yu Wei also has the habit of watching the 7 o’clock news.
Although he doesn’t watch every episode because of school, he will definitely watch it whenever he can.
This was his father’s requirement, and he has always led by example.
In Yu Wei’s father’s words, if in the future you want to achieve something in this world, you first need to know what those people standing at the top of the pyramid, who can decide the direction of the world, are thinking.
The easiest way in Huaxia to get this information is through the 7 o’clock news. Many times, the orientation of the news is the trend of future development.
The three sons of the Yu Family would usually keep the habit of finding half an hour each day in their spare time to watch the 7 o’clock news.
Of course, Yu Wei suspects that his dad has other sources of information, and watching the news is just to cross-verify with his information, but he has no evidence. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
So he was probably the first in his friends’ group to see this news.
To be honest, when Yu Wei saw this news during the live broadcast, he had really mixed feelings, but this time he quickly calmed down.
After all, he had decided not to compete with Qiao Yu anymore...
Chasing someone who isn’t on the same level has completely lost its meaning.
He even comforted himself that he studies mathematics just because he’s interested in the subject. Even if he loses interest later, he can still transfer from the talent class to the finance class or Guanghua College.
Just as Qiao Yu said, as long as he has the ability, there is still a family business he can inherit.
But what can I say, thinking that they are all friends, he couldn’t be the only one happy for Qiao Yu’s great achievement, so he found the replay clip of the news on the internet, recorded it, and silently sent it to the friends group.
The first to notice his message was Yu Yongjun, that Little Fatty did not disappoint Yu Wei, the first sentence was: "Is it fake? Although my big brother is amazing, I remember he said last time that it was just a thirty-minute report. How did it suddenly become the opening report? I have never heard of any conference opening report being only thirty minutes!"
"You just check the official website to know if it’s true. By the way, I looked into what you said, the organizing committee issued a statement yesterday, temporarily adjusting the report order for this conference. The original opening report was moved to the last day."
Just after Yu Wei finished speaking, Gong Jiatao jumped in.
"No way, really! Qiao Yu is incredibly scary. All those sitting in the audience are bigwigs! So many Fields Medalists sitting below watching him report, damn, that’s why I say this time CMO is unfair! This guy doesn’t qualify for a high school student competition, that’s cheating. I strongly demand Qiao Yu’s CMO results be invalidated!"
This angle was very fresh and unexpected for both Yu Wei and Yu Yongjun.
Sure enough, one has to be shameless enough to make it.
If Qiao Yu’s CMO results were annulled, he would be the only one with a full score last year.
That indeed sounds more prestigious.
"Although I just skipped it, I think what you said not only has no effect but would make Brother Qiao feel even more delighted seeing your teasing. Think about what you should say when Brother Qiao joins the group to celebrate! Right, @Qiao Shulin Feng."
Although Yu Yongjun specifically @ed Qiao Yu, he didn’t really expect Qiao Yu to reply. After all, Qiao Yu was still in France attending the mathematicians’ conference. He even doubted whether Qiao Yu’s phone could receive messages on WeChat now.
In fact, it was true; the message @ing Qiao Yu ended up like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response.
The few people chatted seemingly light-heartedly for a few more lines.
Of course, whether everyone’s mood was as easy-going as it seemed is hard to say.
It was indeed a bizarre matter.
Having been pre-admitted to the talent class of the School of Mathematics at Yanbei University should have been a delightful matter, and everyone indeed was very happy. The pressure of the college entrance examination was entirely gone, and just practicing for the Olympic Competition and preparing for the IMO was enough daily.
But when classmates around you constantly keep coming up with such big news, it really shakes one’s mindset!
Ah, hard to bear...
Until Gong Jiatao put forward a hypothesis, the group gradually quieted down...
"If it keeps going like this, by the time we finish the talent class, Qiao Yu could already be a professor at school? By the time we get to guarantee for graduate studies, maybe we can even choose him as a mentor! If that happens, it would be interesting, my classmate becomes my mentor! Hahaha..."
"Eh? Why aren’t you two speaking? Are you really starting to consider this possibility? Damn, wait, looking at this situation, it actually seems good to study for a graduate program under Qiao Yu if it’s true."
"Hey, hey, hey..."
This time, no one responded to him...
...
Qiao Xi’s judgment was correct, at this moment Qiao Yu was indeed basking in glory.
But this can’t entirely be blamed on Qiao Yu; in fact, he was in a position where he couldn’t help but show off.
The cultural habits from the east and west really differ in many ways.
For instance, in Huaxia Culture, a successful person proactively showing off is often labeled as not modest, too high profile, loves showing off, and other negative evaluations. But in Western culture, any success is something worth and supposed to be flaunted.
If a person is clearly successful, yet never shows off, it would instead make people suspicious, even wondering if he achieved success through means that are contrary to morals or even the law.
