Super God-Level Top Student

Zhuo Wenyu had not expected Xu Dajiang to call him so soon.

According to his original plan, he intended to delay for half a month and, after the college entrance examination, take the initiative to talk to Xu Dajiang about this matter.

In the school, the deans of the various divisions might not have a strong say when it comes to resource allocation; they have to listen to the school administration.

But to put it plainly, that's also because of the checks and balances between the various departments.

Every year, there is only so much funding to go around. If one department gets a little more, and another gets a little less, there is a set of established rules. The people in charge at most only have the power to make minor adjustments. If anyone dares to make major changes, the faculties are not pushovers.

Since that guy Zhang wants to mess with him, he didn't mind using such tactics to give Zhang, the principal, a taste of his own medicine.

He might not be in a position to slam his hand on the deputy principal's desk now, but as the dean of a school, he still had the guts to do so.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoquan has a natural weakness; he was neither deployed from the higher authorities nor promoted from within the educational system. Simply put, Zhang Xiaoquan rose through the school's administrative system.

But after all, a university is a place for teaching and educating people. This type of vice-principal without teaching experience naturally has a disadvantage.

To put it bluntly, the school's professors actually don't have much respect for him.

When it doesn't involve interest disputes, everyone can maintain politeness and manage to save face.

But once they encounter something intolerable, intellectuals have many ways to make a fuss.

...

For Xu Dajiang, not talking to Li Jiangao first and asking the admissions office to hurry up and transfer Qiao Ze's records was a necessary move.

Just yesterday, Li Jian Gao had come to him asking for support.

He indeed wanted to support him.

But there really wasn't any money in the school's account right now.

Xilin University of Technology adopts a policy where each school rewards its own achievements.

After the cake is divided, whether professors from each faculty publish in domestic core journals, or world-leading journals, or other contents included in the reward criteria, the bonus that should be given is a financial burden on the faculty itself. There was a sum of money left, but several core papers suddenly emerged in the first half of the year.

So, under the condition that he couldn't fully meet Li Jian Gao's requirements, he had to transfer the child's school enrolment as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, it would be even simpler for Qiao Ze to leave.

Although they had signed an independent recruitment contract, if the student is determined to breach the contract, the price to pay isn't really that high, especially when there are schools vying to take them in, and those schools might even be more prestigious than Xilin University of Technology.

One can imagine how anxious Xu Dajiang was at this time.

And that was before he knew that Qiao Ze had completed a high-quality paper in eight hours.

If he knew...

Even more anxious!

...

Less than ten minutes later, Xu Dajiang barged into Zhuo Wenyu's office without any grace, "Zhuo, I don't care to deal with your and Zhang Xiaoquan's nonsense, but you must help me transfer the student's record over quickly."

Zhuo Wenyu stood up, planning to pour a cup of tea for Xu Dajiang first, "Dean Xu, don't worry, have some tea first, and we can talk things over slowly."

"Talk over what slowly? I'm telling you, this is urgent. I'm not joking," Xu Dajiang said seriously.

"Why the sudden rush? I've already sent the student over to your school, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhuo Wenyu asked in surprise.

He was certain that Qiao Ze was definitely an overlooked prospect by Yanbei and Huaqing. But normally, once a student contract is signed, the student has been received by the school, and even started attending classes, it's really not a big issue anymore.

After all, although universities compete for the best students, they still somewhat value face.

Every year, the best student sources are basically snatched up by those two schools, or the students go abroad directly. Letting other sibling schools pick up a few leftovers isn't going to wipe them out entirely.

Xu Dajiang heaved a sigh and said, "Ah... Zhuo, you don't know, Qiao Ze's mathematical foundation is truly terrifying. It might surpass my previous estimates by a lot, and I'm not even daring to guess his limit now. Especially since I might not be able to give him what he needs at the moment, I'm really afraid that our second-tier School of Mathematics might not be able to retain him.

Anyway, this time you must transfer his registration as soon as possible."

"Oh?!" Zhuo Wenyu looked at Xu Dajiang, who was anxious, with surprise and probed, "Don't tell me that a freshman just recruited can directly work on a research project? Publish in core journals?"

Xu Dajiang spoke gravely, "Based on the abilities he's exhibited so far, I speculate that with proper guidance, assistance, and support, he might indeed achieve results within six months, perhaps not even inferior to some of the professors at the university.

I dare not speak of international top journals, but making an appearance as a single author in domestic core journals, I think there should be no problem."

Zhuo Wenyu was taken aback, "What? He can complete a paper independently and publish in core journals within six months? Xu, you're not joking, right? No matter how strong he is, even if he has the natural mathematical intuition that Li says he does, he can't be defying the heavens to this extent, can he? By your account, wouldn't he qualify for a professorship by the end of these four years?"

"Whether he can become a professor is another matter, but the buzz about what Qiao Ze has done these past two days will lead to many shameless acts from those who want to poach him. Help me settle this matter, and consider that you owe me a favor," Xu Dajiang asserted.

He could still recall the tingling sensation on his scalp from just a moment ago.

Zhuo Wenyu thought for a while and then nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll call Yu Chenggong later and have him expedite the transfer. But I have some difficulties on my end too, and I'll need your help."

"Speak!"

"First, Yu has promised to arrange a dormitory administrator job for Qiao Ze's mother in the logistics department of the university. It'll make it convenient for her to take care of Qiao Ze..."

"No problem, I, Xu Dajiang, still hold some sway in the university logistics center," said Xu Dajiang, thumping his chest.

"Good, the second thing is about the student financial aid fund. Principal Zhang is holding up the approval with his signature..."

"I definitely don't have the money at the moment, but I believe you can handle this. Help me settle it as soon as possible, and next time Zhang Xiaoquan wants to do something, wherever I can lend a hand and have a say, I won't be vague," he responded.

"Is it a deal?"

"It's a deal!"

...

Qiao Ze was unaware that due to some things he inadvertently did, including his mentor Li, two professors, and a dean from the School of Mathematics were on the verge of breaking down.

After all, in his view, pointing out a paper's problems and expressing thoughts he had pondered was normal and ordinary.

Moreover, he now had a more important task.

Teaching Su Mucheng how to self-study mathematics.

Qiao Ze believed that as long as she learned his study method, no matter how difficult the teacher made the tests, it was always possible to score at least ninety points, if not a full score.

But at the moment, he was feeling a bit perplexed.

"Hmm? You still don't understand?"

Su Mucheng looked up, shook her head in confusion, then pointed at the chalkboard behind the paused video, "From that step just now, to this one... how did it jump to here?"

"Because the limit function of this Riemann integrable function sequence is Riemann integrable, so you can directly use the Arzela Theorem!"

"The Arzela Theorem?"

"Yes, this type of function can replace uniform convergence with the weaker condition of weak convergence."

"So how do you know that the limit function of this Riemann integrable function sequence is Riemann integrable?"

"Um... let's rewind ten minutes!"

...

Half an hour later, Su Mucheng stared at Qiao Ze and asked, "Qiao Ze, how long did it take you to understand this lesson when you first saw it?"

Qiao Ze pondered for a moment, then decided to double the time it had taken him to watch the video, "Hmm... eight, no, maybe it took ten minutes."

To his surprise, Su Mucheng seemed very cheerful.

"Wow, something you learned in eight minutes, I managed to fully understand in just forty minutes! It takes ninety minutes in class! Does that mean I'm a genius too?"

Qiao Ze: "?"
