Chapter 24: 24 Terrifying Request
"My plan is to start from my sophomore year."
When Xu Dajiang discussed with Qiao Ze how to arrange for him, Qiao Ze gave an unequivocal answer.
Xu Dajiang glanced at Li Jiangao, somewhat puzzled by this request.
"Why do you want to skip your freshman year?" Li Jiangao asked with a pleasant expression.
"Because starting from the sophomore year, you can directly apply to do research with a professor, Yu said it's the school's regulation. I think this regulation is good, it's smart. So I want to apply to do research with you as soon as possible, without breaking this rule," Qiao Ze said earnestly.
Ah, solved the mystery!
After thinking, Li Jiangao said, "Qiao Ze, you need to know that life isn't just about studying and research. If you open your heart, you'll discover there's a lot of beautiful things in this world to experience. Rather than you plunging into the arid environment of research immediately, I hope your life can be more complete in the future. So..."
Qiao Ze shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, Li, doing research won't take all my time. I can still attend classes with my classmates during my sophomore year, I did the same in high school. And those things you're talking about, they don't seem very interesting."
At this moment, the images of the Xilin Poetry Society reciting poems in front of the library echoed in Qiao Ze's mind.
To him the recitation sounded beautiful, passionate, and also noisy.
Standing to one side and listening to the discussion, Xu Dajiang shot Li Jiangao a look.
Nice one, when the kid wants to study, you want to distract him with all sorts of messy stuff?
Doing a project is great!
With this kid's level, if he can achieve something during his undergraduate stage, like publishing a few papers in core journals or the like, wouldn't that be a solid headline?
If it gets out on the internet, it might even draw uninformed netizens' criticism, such as those who associate it with academic corruption.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, what does an undergraduate know about math!
If this kid skips a grade and gets exposed, it might stir up even more trouble.
This damn... what kind of divine problem is this?
Xu Dajiang roared in his mind.
But moments later, he seriously agreed, "Don't worry, Qiao Ze, I guarantee that this year's School of Mathematics first-year final exam difficulty will meet your standards! I'm waiting for you to bring me a satisfactory answer sheet!"
Qiao Ze did not respond but simply nodded calmly.
After all, in his opinion, as long as the difficulty of the exam questions was up to par, allowing him to settle in and focus, scoring full marks was as natural as breathing for him, and there really was no need to make another solemn promise to the dean.
Of course, Qiao Ze hadn't thought about how the naturally simple task of breathing for him could make nearly all of this year's School of Mathematics's freshmen feel suffocated.
After all, with Li Jiangao's guidance, he had started to believe that there were indeed many intelligent people in this world.
These intelligent people would surely understand him.
"Alright, I'll call your student advisor right now. Later, just follow him to your classes. By the way, you already have Uncle Li's phone number, take mine as well. If you feel uncomfortable interacting with your peers as a normal student, call me anytime; I'll help you figure something out."
Xu Dajiang said earnestly, he was now just short of writing the word 'favoritism' directly on his face.
...
Liu Hao, upon receiving the call, rushed to the dean's office as if there was a fierce urgency.
After entering the room, he didn't even notice Qiao Ze's presence; facing Li Jian, all he did was smile.
After all, Liu Hao was unlike the professors of the faculty; for a student advisor hoping to move up the administrative ladder, the dean could truly decide his future.
So he quickly noticed the word 'favoritism' etched on Dean Xu's face and realized that this seemingly unremarkable student was far from ordinary!
"This is Qiao Ze. His student status will probably be sorted out next month, but starting tomorrow, he will join the first-year basic mathematics major students in their classes. Uh, find him a nice dormitory; pick roommates who are both good at their studies and have a good character.
I've prepared a note for you, take my note and get Qiao Ze's student card processed. And whatever methods you use, you need to settle Qiao Ze's situation today. No problem, right?"
"Rest assured, there will be no problem, Dean Xu."
