Professor Tan nodded. MIT's mathematics is not the best, but Xuejiao has always had the right idea, just as he did not choose Peking University and Fudan University, but chose Tsinghua University.
He just asked, "Is the teacher fixed?"
Xuejiao hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it, she still told the truth: "Academician Xi recommended me a teacher, James from Stanford, and he also suggested that I apply to Stanford. But in fact, I have another idea in my heart... MIT's Professor, but that person has never accepted students, and I don't know if my application will be successful."
Never accepted a student
This made Professor Tan a little surprised, and his eyes were puzzled: "Who is it?"
"Conard."
Professor Tan frowned almost subconsciously. He knew this person, a famous "madman", who was also a genius in his early years, and became a professor of MIT at the age of thirty. However, after the age of 30, it is said that he gave up mathematical research and focused on constellations. It has been like this for more than 20 years.
"Conrad has stopped doing research..."
"No." Xue Jiao's voice was firm, "He is still researching, but the results have not yet come out."
She also accidentally saw news of Conrad on the Internet. The constellation he has studied for more than 20 years is actually mathematics.
The constellation map that Cheng Mingze gave her and has been hanging on her bedside to accompany her through these years is Migalsi's "Constellation Mathematics".
Xuejiao called it like that for the time being, she didn't know how Conrad was called.
Her voice was firm, which surprised Professor Tan, but this was Xue Jiao's decision, and he didn't persuade him any further.
Teachers are guides, not decision-makers.
"Have you figured it out?"
"After thinking about it clearly, I want to apply first." She couldn't forget the picture, which was the first thing she was interested in when she stepped into the door of mathematics.
That's how life is, sometimes I want to be capricious.
Conrad is not a "madman", just an "idiot", and Xuejiao really wants to see him.
As before, he firmly wanted to follow Professor Tan.
She is so stubborn sometimes, but she doesn't want to give up her stubbornness.
Professor Tan did not persuade him. It has been several years since he understood what this student's temperament was.
"Okay, by the way, what is the theme of your project?"
"Analytical Problems in Celestial Geometry."
Professor Tan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his voice: "What constellation do you really want to study with Conrad?"
Xuejiao nodded seriously.
Professor Tan: "..."
…
Xuejiao was kicked out by Professor Tan. He usually acts like a teacher. He is familiar with Xuejiao, so he doesn't put on much pretence.
Just like just now, being stimulated, he directly blasted Xuejiao out.
Xuejiao was not angry either, and left Teacher Tan's office with a smile on her face.
However, thinking that he hadn't confessed to Lin Zhihua, his mood dropped again.
She actually didn't want to go out, but going out was the best choice, and studying with Professor Conrad for two years was also her new wish.
Originally, I didn't have much time to accompany Lin Zhihua, and now I have to go abroad for two years. I wonder if he will ignore her in anger
Xuejiao was a little tangled, and walked slowly with her head down.
When he arrived at the school gate, he remembered that he hadn't sent a message to Lin Zhihua.
After Xue Jiao sent the news, she sat on a bench in the school and waited, and then went out after he arrived.
The weather is still hot, but the new military training will start in two days.
The benches are in the shade, the afternoon sun is shaded by the trees, and in the distance, the fiery sunset is setting.
Xue Jiao's gaze was casually watching, and there were students walking around on the road ahead, both freshmen and old students.
She didn't know each other, so she couldn't tell what grade they were in.
Her eyes gradually drifted away, her project has not yet officially started, but this time she still intends to do it by herself, without forming a team.
After talking with her, Academician Xi felt that this project is a big project and a team needs to be formed.
In fact, it is not. In the past few years, Xuejiao has always taken the picture to explore from time to time, and has also inquired a lot of information and made simple calculations.
In fact, she already has a certain understanding of celestial geometry, and the rest is how to establish an analysis system...
Xuejiao has analyzed it clearly. She can do this project herself, so she will not form a team.
Speaking of the team, Xuejiao remembered the time when she and Zhang Han worked together on the "Speeding Theory" project.
Zhang Han went abroad to study for a doctorate. She just left on the front foot, and Yang Zhan caught up on the back foot. The same university, but one for Ph.D. and one for graduate school.
These two have been chasing each other for two years, and they are finally together.
Zheng Jiakun also went abroad this year to study at Stanford, which is also the school that Academician Xi has always recommended to Xuejiao.
But in the end she prefers to choose Professor Conrad of MIT.
Chu Sheng was also very busy. The last time Xuejiao sent him a message, she only replied to herself a day later.
After they completed the theory of flying cars, he formed a new team, all of them were physics students who were interested in flying cars and were ready to continue exploring.
Thinking of these hardworking people, Xue Jiao couldn't help but smile.
Everyone is great and is still trying to be better.
She was in a trance and didn't notice the two boys who were pushing and shouting.
"Senior, do you know her?"
"A little familiar, but I didn't see this person in my sophomore year, the same year as you?" The person was a little hesitant, but he really had never seen this person in school, so beautiful, he should have an impression of him...
"Senior... she's so pretty... "
"I'm not blind... If you want to strike up a conversation, just go!"
"Ah? Will it be bad?"
"What are you afraid of, you've already gone to college! Don't be afraid!" The sophomore tried his best to pretend to be calm, urging the freshman next to him, arranging his clothes silently in his hands, with a nervous expression on his face.
The freshman was also bold, took two steps forward, and sat down beside Xuejiao.
"Hello, classmate, are you from our school?"
Xue Jiao returned to her senses, turned her head, and sat next to a boy with glasses. This man's face looked very immature, and he was obviously still young.
Behind the man with glasses stood a boy with a baby face, showing her a cute smile and two little tiger teeth.
She politely replied: "Yes..."
"I'm a freshman in the mathematics department this year. This is my roommate, the sophomore senior in the mathematics department. How about you, beauty?" The young man with glasses smiled.
Xuejiao was a little surprised. She didn't expect to meet her junior here. She smiled slightly: "I'm also from the Department of Mathematics."
"That's a coincidence, we are classmates?" His eyes lit up.
Xuejiao shook her head, and the phone vibrated slightly at this time.
Her eyes lit up, Lin Zhihua is here!
Xuejiao stood up and replied, "I have something to do, junior, so I'll go first."
After speaking, he walked away.
apprentice
The glasses man and the baby face looked at each other with a confused look.
"Is this senior? Senior, you have never seen such a beautiful senior?"
The baby face touched his chin, and it seemed that the more he thought about it, the more familiar he looked.
For a moment, his pupils shrank, as if thinking of something, he took out his mobile phone in shock and clicked on the official website.
"Senior, why don't you speak?"
The man with glasses had just finished asking when he saw his senior holding his phone and jumping up on the spot, with a look of excitement and grief on his face...
"Ahhhh, I just saw Gu Shen! I even went up to talk to him! I'm talking!"
The man with glasses looked confused, and when the baby face calmed down, he directly opened the Baidu Encyclopedia "Gu Xuejiao" to show him.
For a moment, he fell into a life of doubt.
After a while, he opened his mouth: "Senior... Tsinghua's senior... Are you so good?"
He was a little suspicious of life, and began to feel like a rookie.
So from this day on, the legend of "Gu Shen" began to spread among the freshmen of Tsinghua University.
Of course, these snow jasmine do not know.
She went home in Lin Zhihua's car, and then the two prepared to cook together. Of course, she was mainly responsible for chores.
"Zijiao, that means you won't be so busy in your senior year?" Lin Zhihua's eyes brightened.
Xuejiao nodded: "Well, when I don't need to go to school, I can go to the company with you."
She felt a little guilty, because after this year, she might be going to study abroad.
Lin Zhihua smiled and said, "At last I won't be allowed to keep the empty room alone."
The last few words were bit lightly and ambiguous.
Xuejiao glared at him, but her cheeks were slightly red.
Lin Zhihua drove the car into the garage, Xuejiao opened her mouth, wanting to talk about her possible going abroad.
The first thing he did when he stopped the car was to loosen the seat belt, turn around, cover her body halfway, and lightly bit Xue Jiao's lips that she had just spoken.
She responded gently, Lin Zhihua paused, and the attack became fierce.
After a while, Xue Jiao panted and pushed him away.
"Let's go, go back and cook."
Lin Zhihua licked his lower and upper lip with a look of aftertaste.
Xuejiao blushed and pushed the door open, as if she had forgotten what she was going to say.
After that, she looked for several opportunities to talk about this, but was always interrupted by Lin Zhihua unconsciously.
Xuejiao thought for a while, then said nothing.
She wants to follow Professor Conrad, but the other party is not necessarily willing to accept her, wait and tell Lin Zhihua, it can be delayed for a day...
I waited until February, when the first draft of Xuejiao's thesis was completed.
This first draft was a bit rushed, but the MIT application was about to close, so she could only make it first, and then send it to Professor Conrad with an email.
Xuejiao took a deep breath, turned her head, and submitted all the recommendation letters and application materials written by Academician Xi and others.
She would send a message to Professor Conrad first, just to let him know that there is her, and explain in the letter her reasons and determination to study with him. Otherwise, she was afraid that her application had been submitted, and Professor Conrad would not be willing to take over her.
After all submissions, Xue Jiao began to feel a little uneasy, not only because of the application, but also... She didn't tell Lin Zhihua.
Xuejiao became anxious, and during this period, Lin Zhihua began to be busy. Xuejiao wanted to tell him about it several times, but he was very busy, so he dragged it down again.
At this time, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
Conrad said angrily to the students next to him: "Idiot! I let you watch, what are you doing? Do you know how important this is to me? Idiot!"
The white-skinned student lowered his head, quietly and silently.
"How could our school recruit someone as stupid as you? It's even more exaggerated that you are stupid and not serious! You know you..."
"Professor!" The student raised his head sharply.
Conrad froze for a moment and looked at the sneering student in front of him.
The man threw the thing in his hand on the ground and sneered: "My Professor Conrad, if you have been doing this for more than 20 years, you have already achieved results. You, a former genius, I'm out of power now, do you think I'd like to come to you? If I didn't offend Mal, how could I have been assigned to you! I called me stupid? No, professor, I think you're really stupid !"
"you… "
"I've had enough, just deduct points, I don't want to stay with you for a day, it's a waste of time with you! The whole math community knows that Professor Conrad has already been obsolete..."
After the student finished speaking, ignoring Conrad, who was gasping for breath, he walked away.
Conrad patted his heart and took a long time to recover.
Then slumped to sit on the ground, this is the first few? It seems to have persisted for more than 20 days, right? Now even these college kids are starting to laugh at him.
In his opinion, this student is really stupid. He does not expect these people to understand what he has been doing for so many years, but since he is here, he should have a serious attitude. Unfortunately, this student is stupid and not serious!
He just asked the student to look at the computer and export the data immediately when it was terminated, but the student sat next to it and played games. One hour after the termination, the data was invalid.
In fact, Conrad didn't want anyone to come to bother him, but recently, something he has been studying for more than 20 years has begun to light up. Conrad was anxious and wanted to speed up the progress, so he asked someone from the department to come over to help.
Who knows that the other party doesn't distinguish the strengths, and even sent a sophomore who doesn't understand anything!
Conrad was a little angry, but he was helpless. After more than 20 years, even the school finally gave up on him.
The computer beeped, and the unshaven Conrad immediately stood up and stepped forward.
Go to these idiots!
He has worked alone for more than twenty years, and then he will continue!
Soon, Conrad began to rework the previously scrapped data.
"Di Di..." the voice of the mail.
Conrad is irritably ready to turn it off directly, and which idiot is contacting him!
Just as I was about to close it, my eyes swept across the subject of this email...
"Migalsi, constellation chart."
Conrad was stunned and opened his eyebrows with a frown.
After a while, he stood up after reading all the content, and walked around the room even more annoyed.
As he walked round and round, the frown deepened.
In April, Xuejiao received an offer from MIT, followed by a word from Professor Conrad...
Hurry up, come here.
Xuejiao: "…"
For some reason, she vaguely felt that her master's career might be a little different from what she imagined.
But now, the most important thing is how will she tell Lin Zhihua that she is going abroad
Xuejiao rubbed her head, bald.
In the evening, Xuejiao first told Cheng Shuo and the others, and the three of them were stunned for a moment, then laughed.
They are also reluctant, but this is a good thing for Xuejiao, and there is no reason to stop it.
"Congratulations Jiaozi, our Jiaozi is really good!" Cheng Shuo said happily.
Li Sitong was even happier: "Zijiao is awesome!"
She had more to brag about when she and the other ladies went out for grooming.
Several people were happy for her, and after they were happy, they began to ask when to go abroad, and told this and that, and the joy turned into worry.
After chatting until very late, Cheng Shuo suddenly asked, "Does Lin Zhihua know?"
Xuejiao was silent.
"You haven't told him yet?" Cheng Shuo raised his voice.
Xuejiao nodded: "I don't know how to speak, I feel very sorry for him."
Several times when she mustered up her courage to speak, she was interrupted. Xue Jiao felt guilty, and she could always avoid it day by day, so it was delayed until now.
Cheng Shuo was silent for a while and said, "You still have to tell him about this..."
Xuejiao bit her lower lip for a moment, then stood up: "I'll go to his side."
After he finished speaking, he ran out.
Cheng Mingze was stunned and stood up subconsciously: "She ran to Lin Zhihua's place so late..."
Li Sitong grabbed him and smiled with a wink: "The two of them have already decided that they will be husband and wife sooner or later. The jasmine is not too small. If you want to live with Lin Zhihua, you should live there."
Cheng Mingze stopped talking and sat back.
Cheng Shuo didn't say anything. He couldn't tell whether it was good or bad in one year, and after two, three, and four years, he still couldn't tell.
Lin Zhihua... is indeed the person that Xuejiao has been with for a lifetime.
The Cheng family said a few more words, and they all fell asleep, and over there, Xue Jiao knocked on Lin Zhihua's door.
