Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 501 - 223: This Splashing Wealth!_2

Principal Chen said with a beaming smile,

As a principal, he truly didn’t care about Xu Dajiang’s petty schemes.

One of the perks of standing tall was that no matter which direction the school made progress in, it was his achievement.

Would he really fear that deans beneath him would vie for credit with him?

Now with an additional Key Engineering Research Center, a Mathematical Research Center, and two key disciplines, his resume would look splendid without peers when he eventually moved on.

Moreover, he was still 12 years from retirement and had a high likelihood of climbing even higher.

In that sense, he wished Xu Dajiang would be even more ambitious.

It would be best if he could quickly motivate Qiao Ze to step up and achieve something significant during his tenure.

As for the bad attitude, those were trivial matters; after all, this guy was schooled in the Sichuan opera’s art of face-changing, presenting a completely different demeanor when good news was at hand.

Sure enough, as soon as Principal Chen finished speaking, Xu Dajiang’s expression changed instantly, even showing a hint of respect, "Really?"

"Would I lie to you? Here, these are the documents, see for yourself." Chen Yuanzhi spoke as he picked up two documents from his desk and handed them over.

Xu Dajiang promptly stood up, walked over to Chen Yuanzhi’s desk to receive the documents from the principal, and read them over carefully.

Especially the official seal at the bottom, which he examined with great scrutiny.

Yes, they indeed looked genuine.

He could no longer control the muscles in his face, and it split into a wide grin, "Hehe, I just knew it, our leaders can’t be that blind. Our School of Mathematics has made significant contributions, earned so much glory for the country, how could they forget about us."

"Enough, look at your face," Chen Yuanzhi glared at Xu Dajiang, chiding him with disdain.

"Haha..." Xu Dajiang laughed it off, not minding the principal’s scorn at all, as long as he could have such good news every day.

After finally laughing to his heart’s content, Xu Dajiang then asked, "Principal Chen, have you informed Qiao Ze about these pieces of good news?"

Chen Yuanzhi glanced at Xu Dajiang, nodded, and said with slight sadness, "Don’t mention it, Qiao Ze is much more composed than you. I originally wanted him to come with you, but Qiao Ze simply said he was busy. I told him about this over the phone, and your Professor Qiao from the School of Mathematics just replied ’Understood’ to me."

"Pfft..."

After hearing Chen Yuanzhi’s story, Xu Dajiang couldn’t help but laugh out loud again, and then he opened the floodgates of conversation.

"No, Principal Chen, what were you thinking? Inviting Professor Qiao to your office? Who do you think Professor Qiao is? I’m not even talking about now. Back in the day, even before Qiao Ze started on projects, any good news would be actively communicated by a personal visit.

Do you remember when he applied for the school’s first project, the one after the Group Wisdom project, that mathematics project? Back then, I had to personally collect the project application forms. He couldn’t even bother to collect the research funds himself, would he make a special trip just for this paltry honor?"

Chen Yuanzhi glared at Xu Dajiang and said, "So you find this honorable? Yes, at our Xilin, he can be willful, and we all indulge him, but what about when he goes to the Capital later? Continue being willful? Offend everyone in the process?"

"Hold on." Having heard this, Xu Dajiang’s face froze, his expression turning serious as he asked, "What do you mean by that? I don’t follow. What about the Capital? Qiao Ze is doing well in Xilin, why would he go to the Capital?"

Chen Yuanzhi furrowed his brow and said, "Who’s being thoughtless now? Do you really just care about your own backyard without looking outside? Do you think Qiao Ze will always stay in Xilin? People in the Capital have been trying to poach him for a long time. I’ve stopped them several times already, and I’m almost unable to hold them back.

You have no idea how much influence Qiao Ze’s material model submissions have had. The Capital, Linhai, Shencheng... Experts from key labs in those major cities are nearly going mad. Do you know how much pressure is coming from the Ministry of Science and Technology? Do you know how many people have their eyes on that small courtyard where Qiao Ze currently resides?

The stakes are too high now. Material labs all over the country are scrambling for the testing codes of the models. Why? Because once they develop something and file a report, companies immediately come knocking with cash for collaborations. I’m not clear on the exact profit-sharing, but it’s an undeniable fact that everyone is fighting for a piece of the pie. Not to mention there are security considerations to account for.

In this context, you still want to keep Qiao Ze in Xilin forever? Based on your goodwill? Stop dwelling on your Xilin School. I anticipate Qiao Ze will at most remain in Xilin for another half year. Don’t believe me? Just wait and see."

After speaking so much in one breath, Chen Yuanzhi felt a bit thirsty, too annoyed to look at Xu Dajiang’s expression. He picked up the teacup on his desk and took a big gulp. Then, he heard Xu Dajiang mutter, "But what if Qiao Ze doesn’t want to leave?"

"That I do believe. But if Qiao Ze doesn’t want to leave, what about Su? Okay, you’ll say Su will definitely listen to Qiao Ze, but what about their families? What about Li Jiangao? Are you sure all these people want to stay in Xilin? Come on, Xu, don’t be so naive. Can’t you imagine what terms they might offer?"

Chen Yuanzhi gave Xu Dajiang a look and said.

Xu Dajiang was too dispirited to speak.

Indeed, there was nothing left to say, nor any reason to laugh anymore.

As expected, so-called good news from the leadership often came with pitfalls.

Half a year was far too short to build a viable talent circulation.

Even though Xu Dajiang was always working on this, there were so few people in the whole of Huaxia in the field of mathematics who had confirmed prospects for significant achievements in the future; establishing a complete talent echelon takes time.
