"Mom, are these two functions similar?"
Xia Keke, who was puzzled in the afternoon, did not go to class with Qiao Yu. Instead, she took Qiao Yu's manuscript and showed it to Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi turned her head and glanced, then nodded and said, "The structures are quite similar."
"Hey, I really can't see the resemblance." Xia Keke said with a sad face.
Qiao Xi smiled: "You haven't learned these things yet. The one above is Qiao Yu's modal integral function. You must have a certain knowledge of algebraic geometry to understand it. There is no need to be unhappy.
Just make learning a happy thing. Don't be stressed. You know? Mr. Yuan thinks that I came into contact with advanced mathematics too late. It may be difficult to achieve great achievements.
I didn’t feel anything unhappy. My final exam results were actually quite poor this time. I only got B’s in the three professional courses, but I still enjoyed it.
You are still so young, and there will be a lot of opportunities in the future, so why are you anxious? Besides, we have agreed that we should complement each other. Can we just choose separate majors in college and avoid mathematics?
Qiao Yu is great at math, but not so great in other aspects. When the time comes, you overtake him in a corner and impress him in other aspects, it’s the same.”
"Yeah!" Xia Ke nodded vigorously.
In fact, after being tested by Mr. Yuan during the summer vacation, Xia Keke knew that she might not have much talent in mathematics, although the old man didn't say it clearly.
Of course she can feel it too.
Xia Keke had never seen Qiao Yu studying those exercises with his head down, but he could get full marks in the Mathematical Olympiad competition casually.
Her math scores are pretty good, but they are all achieved through paper after paper. This comparison makes the difference.
So Xia Keke felt that Qiao Xi was right. She definitely didn't need to study hard at mathematics.
As long as I can get 140 points in the college entrance examination, it will be enough to get into Yanbei or Huaqing. At that time, I can choose a major.
"By the way, Mom, have you finished the business of opening the company a year ago?" Xia Keke asked.
"Well, I'm done. I've given all the information to Mr. Yuan, and Mr. Yuan is looking for someone to handle it. I don't know what Qiao Yu is doing. He suddenly wants to open a company."
"Qiao Yu told me that his company will definitely make a lot of money in the future. Why don't I go learn accounting? Then I can help Qiao Yu do the accounting in the future," Xia Keke said.
Qiao Xi glanced at Xia Keke, shook her head and said, "Silly girl, whatever you do in the future should be based on your own hobbies. Don't always think about who you want to help.
Listen to me, it’s too early to think about this now! People should live for themselves first, and then think about what they can do for others after they live well.
It took me many years to understand this truth. If you really like Qiao Yu, you must first be confident. Don't think about nonsense, you still have a long way to go in the future."
"Oh!" Xia Keke nodded. I don't know if he heard it or not...
Qiao Xi looked at Xia Keke and suddenly thought of herself when she was young. She suddenly wanted to find a fault and beat Qiao Yu.
Look at what this guy did to Lao Xia's daughter... If I had known, I wouldn't have let the two little guys play together every day when they were young.
Qiao Yu has liked to show off his talents since he was a child...
…
No matter how thoughtful Qiao Yu was, she couldn't understand the fact that Qiao Xi found an excuse to screw her ears after returning home happily from class.
He has been very well-behaved recently, why did he offend his mother again? Menopause can't be coming so soon, right?
Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it. I took Xia Keke to the mall for a walk in the evening.
Qiao Yu actually likes to take Xia Keke to shopping malls to bring back the feeling of being a child.
When Xia Keke was a child, Xia Keke was very greedy. Every time the two of them passed by a street store, they would drool looking at the spicy strips inside.
It's not that the family doesn't have money, but the adults don't want them to eat messy things, so they are always very careful with their pocket money.
Then Qiao Yu, who is older, always tries to find ways to get some money to satisfy the oral desires of a several-year-old child.
Now of course there is no need to take so much trouble. After all, I have money in my pocket and my mentality is naturally more expanded.
"Look, does this watch fit your dad?"
"Are you crazy? This watch costs tens of thousands?"
"Nonsense, how much did it cost Lao Xia to raise you like this? Tens of thousands? Buy him a good watch this time and let him be happy first, so that when I marry you in the future, I won't have to give you a bride price.
After all, we still made a profit."
Qiao Yu said seriously.
Xia Keke's face instantly turned red, and then she said softly: "My father said that he didn't want any gift when I got married. If my in-laws insist on giving it, he plans to give us some more."
Qiao Yu's face straightened up when he heard this, and he said: "My father-in-law is very generous! Then I need to give him something sweet to taste first. You don't understand, men like to brag the most!"
When you give this watch to him, remember to remind him of what you said before and strengthen his memory, so that he will not regret it later."
The words "father-in-law" made Xia Keke no longer able to voice any objections.
They just wanted to pull Qiao Yu away quickly, but the smile on the face of the lady across the counter who introduced this watch to them had begun to look less professional.
"Two watches, wrap them up for me, thank you."
"Okay, please pay here."
"No, why buy two pieces?"
"You want to buy one too?"
"No, when you go back, help me give it to the good old man. The good old man is quite good. He helped me find many ways to make money when I had no money. Now that I have money, I have to give him something sweet to taste."
"oh……"
…
"This set of skin care products is very good. I bought it for my mother-in-law. When you give it to me, be sure to praise me more and say that this is a good product that I selected after shopping all over the capital.
What? Do you think your mother is not worthy of using this kind of skin care product?"
"no!"
"That's right!"
"Beauty, please wrap up these two sets."
"Why buy two sets?"
"Why don't you go back and give my mother a set?"
"Then I should buy it, right?"
"Nonsense, how can you make money while you are still studying? You have no idea how easy it is for me to make money now. You will know when you come to college. You can get a bonus for just writing an essay! Go to the laboratory, people
I have to put money in your pocket, do you dare to believe it?"
"ah?!"
"This down jacket is good, you can try it on..."
"I have enough clothes."
"You try it first. You can't buy gifts for your father-in-law or mother-in-law, but not for you. What will they think? Besides, what is the purpose of making money? Isn't it just for spending?
You don’t know, I was almost exhausted in school! I had no place to spend the money I made! It was so painful! By the way, your figure is similar to Qiao Xi’s, help her pick out two pieces too.”
"Oh, okay then!"
"Hey, there's a Hermès store over there."
"If you don't like it, I don't want it! Which high school student have you ever seen wearing Hermès?"
Xia Keke exploded this time and directly dragged Qiao Yu away, who had swelled to the point of floating.
…
After a trip to the mall, Qiao Yu lost about 300,000 yuan in personal property. Instead, they had a bunch of large and small bags in their hands.
Xia Keke also spent 80% of the 10,000 yuan Liu Lu gave her when she came to the capital, and replaced it with the down jacket that Qiao Yu was already wearing. Well, it does feel quite warm...
Qiao Yu felt pretty good...
Although he has never been stingy, he was limited by the thickness of his wallet and could only be a little particular about his food.
Now that I have more money, I dare to look at and buy anything that is not on sale in large shopping malls. What my grandpa said is indeed true. Money makes men brave.
He even dared to take Xia Keke to visit even those famous luxury brands.
He remembered seeing those luxury brand advertisements on TV when he was a child and asking his grandfather.
Rich people must know about such expensive things, so why do they still need to advertise them?
Grandpa told him that those advertisements were not for the rich, but for ordinary people. Otherwise, how could ordinary people see that the clothes worn by the rich were so expensive?
Qiao Yu thought so.
So he really planned to arm Xia Keke from top to bottom.
Although he could not return home in fine clothes, Xia Keke returned home dressed like this, so everyone knew that he had done a good job in the capital.
Yes, Qiao Yu still has this kind of philistine mentality in his heart. Of course, these are not for the Xia family to see.
But let the neighbors who had secretly poked and laughed at Qiao Xi take a look.
Qiao Yu knew very well that when those people said with admiration and congratulations: "Oh, Qiao Yu is now successful, Qiao Xi has finally come to an end and can finally enjoy a happy life."
There must be all kinds of resentment building up in my heart.
In this way, those friends who scolded him and fought with him when he was young might be picked on again when they come home. Or even be scolded for no reason. Thinking about it makes him happy.
It's a pity that Xia Keke refused to cooperate. But it didn't matter, he bought a lot of good things for Liu Lu and Lao Xia.
With Lao Xia and Liu Lu's temperaments, they would definitely show off to their neighbors during their breaks.
"Hey, this is the watch Qiao Yu bought for me in the capital. It's a Longines watch. It's not expensive. It costs more than 80,000 yuan!"
Well, the effect should be about the same.
Just like this, the next day, when Qiao Yu and Qiao Xi sent Xia Keke to the station, they had a bunch of extra things.
Qiao Xi naturally had no objection to this.
When she and Qiao Yu were dependent on each other, the old Xia family actually helped a lot.
He even hinted to her several times that if she had any difficulties in life, there was no need to tell them if she had no money.
The little man's view of good and evil is always so simple. Qiao Xi always remembers the good things others do to him.
In fact, the same is true for Xia Keke.
When Qiao Yu joined Class 13, Xia Keke would come down and think of various ways to motivate Qiao Yu whenever she had time.
It can only be said that Qiu Yu pretended to be too decadent at that time. Except for her, no one really thought he would have much potential.
So there is nothing wrong with a small repayment when you are able. Both mother and son like money, and they both take money very lightly.
This is actually not a contradiction. I like money because I have no money. As for money, I spend it. Anyway, it is enough to live.
Of course, Qiao Xi doesn't know about Qiao Yu's little thoughts. If she knew, she would probably twist his ears out again...
We have been neighbors for so many years. How can we avoid people gossiping behind each other’s backs? I still have to remember this all the time. Isn’t it tiring?
…
Because she had agreed to send Xia Keke over in advance, after contacting her on WeChat, Liu Lu took the time to go out to pick up Xia Keke.
Although railway family members cannot ride the high-speed train for free, there are still benefits for internal employees who can find ways to buy a ticket.
You can't rest during the Chinese New Year, you have to follow the train, and you can't even spend money to buy a ticket for your daughter. It's really too inhumane.
After saying goodbye to Xia Keke, on the way back to school, Qiao Yu always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, which was quite important.
It wasn't until they got off the car and the two of them returned home and sat on the sofa that Qiao Yu suddenly slapped his thigh, remembered, and complained to himself: "Oh, why did I forget such an important thing?"
After saying that, he immediately took out his cell phone.
Qiao Xi next to her looked at Qiao Yu inexplicably: "What did you forget?"
"I forgot to ask Zhang Xiao what he thinks of Senior Brother Chen and whether there is any hope. If Zhang Xiao has no feelings for Senior Brother Chen, I have to quickly suggest that Senior Brother Chen change his goal."
Qiao Yu explained casually.
Qiao Xi frowned and said, "No, is it none of your business that Senior Brother Chen likes Zhang Xiao?"
"Now Senior Brother Chen and Zhang Xiao are my right-hand men. Before their tasks are completed, it will be bad if Senior Brother Chen falls out of love and affects his mentality in scientific research."
Qiao Xi shook her head and was too lazy to pay attention to Qiao Yu. This guy's brain circuit is always so strange, it will be fine if he gets used to it.
Qiao Yu didn't care what Qiao Xi thought. In his opinion, his mother was very lazy and didn't know how hard scientific research was.
Well, the main reason is that he can't control Qiao Xi. At present, the one who can control Qiao Xi the most is Chen Zhuoyang.
Not to mention that Senior Brother Chen is a good person who works hard without complaining.
After clicking on Zhang Xiao's dialog box on WeChat, Qiao Yu thought for a moment and then went straight to the point.
"Let me ask you something, Zhang Xiao, do you think the humorous Professor Chen is your ideal life partner?"
The other party replied to the message very quickly, but it was just one word with a punctuation mark: "Huh?"
When Qiao Yu was about to tell Zhang Xiao simply and directly that Chen Zhuoyang liked her, the other person replied again.
"Little teacher, is the Professor Chen you are talking about Chen Zhuoyang?"
Qiao Yu quickly deleted the line he just edited and replied, "Yes, do you know other Professor Chen?"
"You scared me to death. There is Professor Chen next door to my boss's office. He is over fifty this year and he happens to be quite humorous..."
He actually found the mathematics professor humorous, and Qiao Yu felt that Zhang Xiao's sense of humor must be very low.
"So, Chen Zhuoyang told me that he thinks you are pretty good, so I wanted to help him ask you what you think."
"Is that so? No wonder his words on WeChat have become strange recently. But are you sure that this is what Senior Brother Chen means?"
“Very sure!”
"Oh, then little teacher, don't you think that if we become a romantic relationship, it will have an impact on your project?"
"Why does it affect the subject? I'm also in love, so it doesn't affect anything!"
"Then I think we can give it a try! Senior Brother Chen is very humorous and a gentleman. As for whether he is an ideal life partner, I can't answer now. I think we have to wait until we get to know him initially."
To be honest, Qiao Yu was very surprised to see Zhang Xiao's answer. Senior Brother Chen actually had a chance?
So Qiao Yu couldn't help but be mean once.
"Um... I'm going to ask, do you mind Brother Chen's Mediterranean hairstyle? I think it's too ugly!"
"I do mind a little bit about his hairstyle. I think he should shave off all his hair. That way he would be more powerful, handsome, and easy to take care of. He would definitely look better.
Actually, I think Senior Brother Chen’s looks are pretty good, at least a five or six, which is about the same as me. Hey, I can’t have a five-point appearance and still want to find an eight or nine-point boyfriend, right?
And Senior Brother Chen is already an associate professor. To be honest, I think if Senior Brother Chen really wants to be single, he won’t be short of a girlfriend, right?"
Well, what a special aesthetic. As expected of a girl studying mathematics, she is very rational.
However, Qiao Yu thought for a moment, and it seemed that Senior Brother Chen might as well just remove all his hair or wear a wig.
"That's what I told Senior Brother Chen for you!"
"No, little teacher! That won't work. If you tell him this, will he chase me or shall I chase him? This can't be messed up! If he really likes me, he must let himself follow me.
explain.
This question is very strict! Otherwise, I won’t be able to quarrel with him in the future! My family is like this, because my mother chased my father back then, and then she suffered a loss every time we quarreled."
This sentence made Qiao Yu stand in awe...
Zhang Xiao's father is quite good, and quarreling can actually make his wife suffer. This reminds him of Lao Xia, who wouldn't even dare to smoke a cigarette at home, let alone quarrels. He's so cowardly.
"Oh, then I'll tell Senior Brother Chen that if you want to pursue a girl, confess it immediately. Don't hesitate all the time. Otherwise, I'll kick him out of the research group. Is that okay?"
"This is a good idea, thank you, little teacher."
…
Soon the WeChat chat interface reached Chen Zhuoyang, and Qiao Yu was no longer so patient with Senior Brother Chen.
"Senior Brother Chen, the New Year is almost over, have you confessed your love to Zhang Xiao?"
"No, little junior brother, you have never chased a girl before, so you don't understand. You have to take your time when chasing girls. If you confess your feelings rashly, what if you scare others?"
Qiao Yu sneered, he was really a coward with many excuses.
Take your time, it's been so long, Zhang Xiao doesn't even feel like he's being chased...
This reminded Qiao Yu of the scene that his former classmate Zhou Shuang told him - a little boy from Class 1 confessed to Xia Keke in front of a crowd of people at the school gate.
Although I am a little stupid, my courage is commendable!
"Do you know how Xia Keke chased me?! Before I was ready, she knelt down in front of me and begged me to be her boyfriend! Why are you so cowardly?
Forget it, just one sentence. If you don't express your feelings today, I have to give you a result. I have decided to kick you out of the research group! Don't blame me, Senior Brother Chen. The main reason is that I met a fortune teller when I went shopping with Xia Keke yesterday.
.
The fortune teller said that our scientific research project is about to enter an important stage. If there is a coward in the team who dare not even confess to a woman, the project is bound to fail.
So you pick one! If you confess your love, there is at least a 50% chance of rejection or acceptance. If you don’t confess your love, you will be kicked out of the research group directly, and you can do whatever you like in the future!"
Qiao Yu typed a long message domineeringly and sent it out.
"Ah? No, junior brother, there are fortune tellers in the capital? What are you doing? I'm all in Jinzhou, how can I confess my love? Why don't we wait until tomorrow?"
"Nonsense, can't we WeChat or call? Anyway, I don't care, there must be a result today. If there is no result tomorrow, you will be kicked out of the research group. We can't let you ruin the feng shui of our research group!
Let me tell you, I am very serious! The mailbox is full of people who want to join our research group! You have to think clearly! Also, don’t try to fool me, I will ask Zhang Xiao!”
Qiao Xi looked at Qiao Yu next to her and smiled like a fool after chatting on WeChat. She subconsciously reached out and pinched this guy's ears.
The most intolerable thing about Qiao Yu was probably his weird and bad taste. A more accurate way of saying it was that he liked to take pleasure in others' misfortunes.
I don’t know who I’m following, and I’m happier watching others being embarrassed than making money myself.
"Ouch... don't hold on, it's a good thing this time, a really good thing. That Zhang Xiao actually really likes Senior Brother Chen!"
"What do you enjoy when people see you right?"
"Senior Brother Chen didn't dare to confess, but I gave him endless courage!"
"Then let me thank you on behalf of Senior Brother Chen. Now go and do things. I am so busy every day in my junior year, but I know how to order others around and make them so busy. Are you embarrassed?"
Qiao Yu stood up obediently. He didn't know what to be embarrassed about. After all, he had helped Senior Brother Chen a lot.
But he knew that it was best not to argue with his mother who wanted to get angry, because he would not get any benefits anyway.
…
Of course Chen Zhuoyang is not stupid.
In fact, those who can get a PhD in mathematics from a top-notch university must have an IQ that is much higher than the average human level.
Even if he felt depressed, it was under a very special environment at the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.
In fact, after coming to Jinzhou University, he has regained a lot of confidence. It is not just because of Qiao Yu's paper, but also because of his daily listening to other professors' courses, and when the teaching and research groups communicate with each other, he can feel the
These people really have nothing to do...
The research done by many people and the papers written by many people are really not as good as his.
So he really felt something different from Qiao Yu's urging.
So after Qiao Yu stopped talking to him on WeChat, Chen Zhuoyang quickly figured out something.
Then I took out my mobile phone and booked a high-speed rail ticket to Beijing.
Although it was during the Spring Festival travel period, it was so close from Jinzhou to the capital, so tickets could always be bought. Of course, he couldn't, so he planned to take a taxi to the capital.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to grab a ticket at a suitable time, then I took a shower and went straight to the capital.
On the way there, Chen Zhuoyang also thought about it. Even if it wasn't what he guessed, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Qiao Yu had already found a reason for him, so he couldn't express his feelings! Otherwise, he would be kicked out of the project team and he would burst into tears.
By the time he arrived at Yanbei University, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Zhuoyang directly found the downstairs of the dormitory where he sent Zhang Xiao last time, then took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat...
After thinking about it, it seemed a bit too late to send a WeChat message at this time, so I simply made a voice call.
"Hello."
Hearing the crisp voice on the other side, Chen Zhuoyang was excited, then took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "Um...junior sister, I'm at Yanbei University, just outside your dormitory. Can you come out now? I'm a little bit
I want to talk to you face to face."
The other person replied simply: "No!"
Chen Zhuoyang was stunned...
It seems completely different from what he guessed...
So Chen Zhuoyang asked subconsciously: "Why?"
"Because I'm not in the dormitory right now! If you really have something important to tell me, please come to Zhihua Building, senior brother! I'll go down and wait for you later. See you at the door."
"Oh, I'll be there right away. See you later."
Chen Zhuoyang responded, then hung up the phone, scanned a small yellow car at the door of his dormitory, and hurried to Zhihua Building, where he saw Zhang Xiao already waiting for him downstairs.
"What's the matter, Senior Brother Chen, are you so anxious?" Zhang Xiao asked.
"Um……"
Chen Zhuoyang covered up his nervousness with seriousness and said seriously: "A very important thing, that... I found that I like you. Can we get to know each other better?"
Zhang Xiao looked at Chen Zhuoyang's sullen expression speechlessly, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Chen, is this considered a confession?"
Chen Zhuoyang was stunned for a moment and said, "This... should be counted, right?"
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Pfft... Haha... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, it's just the way you are... Senior Brother Chen, you are so funny."
"Forehead……"
"You came here from Jinzhou?"
"yes!"
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I haven't thought about eating yet."
"Let's go then. I'll treat you to a meal first to celebrate your successful confession today!"
"Ah...that...did I hear it correctly? Was it really successful?"
"Hmm... Then how about another testing period?"
"No, no, I'm just kidding, let's go and eat first. I'll treat you..."
"I said today is to celebrate your successful confession, so please wait until next time."
Chapter completed!
