Chapter 176 This child is too strong!

"Today we are here mainly for two matters..."
After heaving a heavy sigh, Xu Dajiang began to speak.
Although he offered an explanation, the indifferent look on Qiao Ze's face made it clear that some prejudices are deeply ingrained.
So, he didn't bother to explain any further.
Geniuses probably don't understand, or don't care to understand, the importance of administrative work, and he didn't want to dwell on this point anymore.
All that mattered now was if Qiao Ze was willing to stay at Xilin University of Technology. With Daniel's endorsement and Dou Dou's viral sensation from yesterday coupled with his understanding of lithography technology, Qiao Ze was an untapped treasure.@@@@
As everyone knows, there's never enough scientific and educational funding to go around.
But if you have a label that stands out, resources will naturally gravitate towards it without much need for words.
For higher education institutions, an academician is such a label.
Xilin University of Technology had its share of these labels, and more than one at that.
The significance of Qiao Ze was that he had not only become such a prestigious label but also had the capability to produce more of them.
Well, if someone had told Xu Dajiang half a year ago that a person could become a member of the National Natural Science Foundation expert review panel at eighteen, he would have spat in their face.
Daydreaming, much?
However, Qiao Ze had indeed made it happen!
...
"Ah, Qiao Ze, you've really left us in a tough spot. The completion of the last project was quite sudden, and now you've already published a paper and concluded the current project just as we finished the proposal process, leaving me at a loss for words. Ah..."
Xu Dajiang sighed heavily.
Qiao Ze quietly watched Xu Dajiang without offering an explanation.
Qiao Ze answered, "Replace it."
That one line left both men stunned once again.
Especially Xu Djangjiang, who for a moment felt he was hallucinating and instinctively repeated, "Replace it?"
"Yes," Qiao Ze nodded and said.
"You mean our School of Mathematics?" Xu Dajiang asked in surprise.
"Princeton is a university," Qiao Ze casually corrected, then pulled a printed document from the table and handed it to Xu Dajiang, "These are some of my previous thoughts. They might be a bit idealistic, but I believe if successful, the future would not be far behind Princeton."
Xu Dajiang took the document from Qiao Ze, glanced at the title—"Thirteen Suggestions for the Natural Science Development towards Academic Growth at Xilin University of Technology."
The topic was undoubtedly grand.
After briefly skimming the first suggestion, he took a deep breath.
Indeed, it was a bit idealistic.
But seeing these suggestions at least eased Xu Dajiang's mind.
It indicated that Qiao Ze was leaning towards staying in the country.
That meant he needn't labor to persuade him further.
Not to mention, Qiao Ze's suggestions were in line with his own goals.
Especially from the general arguments, he could see that Qiao Ze's suggestions centered around a model of academic collaboration with the School of Mathematics and Statistics at its core.
If successful, the School's status within the university could soar.
This was indeed good news for him.
"I will study it seriously. No, I should say we will present it to the university for a collective study. If it's a bit idealistic, that's alright. We can take it step by step. Actually, if we really get down to it, our university's engineering student sources are quite strong. If we can also enhance the liberal arts area, surpassing Princeton in the future is not out of the question."
