Chapter 60 The Father-Daughter Dialogue
Probably the reason given by the daughter surprised the father on the other side of the phone, so he fell silent for a while.However, student Xiao Liu ignored the silence on the other side, and stated to himself: "I have thought clearly, whether it is learning music or piano, in fact, nothing can be changed.

Even if my piano level can reach Uncle Lin's level, win the Carter Board Award, and become a world-class pianist, it is actually meaningless to think about it carefully.Except for some applause on the stage, it doesn't mean anything.There are so many music masters in history, but there is actually not much they can do in chaotic times.So I think life should do something more meaningful. "

Speaking of this, classmate Xiao Liu changed into a coquettish tone: "Dad, anyway, I don't want to study music, and I don't want to study in Ryan anymore. You will support me, right?"

There was a response on the other side, but it seemed that the discussion was not the same thing.

"Hanhan, I heard from your mother that you got very close to a boy named Ning Qing recently. By the way, he also took you to participate in the mathematical modeling competition, right?"

Liu Xiaohan replied calmly: "Yes, I'm at Peking-Han University now, preparing to participate in the mathematical modeling competition."

"Well, so you're interested in math now?"

"No, actually I haven't figured out what to study, I just suddenly lost interest in music."

"That's it, can you talk to me about Ning Qing?"

Father's tone was full of pampering as usual, which only made people feel relaxed.Classmate Xiao Liu has also taken off his shoes, lying comfortably on the sofa, with his feet up, shaking while talking about the impression that magical boy gave him.

"He actually has a special personality. He was in the rocket class in the freshman year of high school, but his grades dropped to the point where he was sent to our class within a year. I didn't know him very well at that time, but there were rumors about him in the school. It's quite broad. It is said that he confessed his love to a girl in the rocket class. After being rejected, his grades began to deteriorate.

The real contact with him was when he came to me suddenly last month, saying that the Mathematical Modeling Contest requires a team to participate, and he has no teammates. He asked me if I could form a team with him, and I agreed.In fact, I just thought that the same life was boring. I wanted to see what the life of the competition was like, and I didn't think about what I could really achieve.

As a result, the topic he did alone was rated as an excellent paper, and he was also qualified to participate in the national competition.What surprised me the most was that he composed a melody on the first day of the competition. I sent it to Uncle Lin, and his evaluation was very high.From then on, I began to doubt my musical talent.

Really, Dad, you really felt that he had just finished arguing with the teacher in charge of the competition. The next day, when every second counted, he still had time to compose a piece of music and finally get a ticket to the national competition.Really, when I was in Haizhou, I already thought this guy was too exaggerated.But today is even more exaggerated. Guess who picked us up at the airport just now? "

The father who has been listening patiently and did not interrupt Xiao Liu's performance, not only responded cooperatively, but even joked: "Who? Don't call it the commander-in-chief!"

"What nonsense, it's Academician Chen Zeliang! At first I didn't recognize him until he introduced himself. The other one is Fan Sihan, who seems to be a foreign mathematics professor. Do you dare to think?"

"Chen Zeliang? Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. He was still there just now. Originally, the Haizhou team lived in a hotel outside Jinghan University. It was Academician Chen who arranged Ning Qing and me in the small guest house inside Jinghan University. The allocation was still a suite. Woolen cloth."

"Wait, that means Academician Chen Zeliang only took you and Ning Qing to the small guest house? Why?"

"Oh, there were some incidents at the airport when I came to Beijing. Dad, what are you concerned about? We live separately, and his room is opposite to mine!" Xiao Liu's tone became impatient, obviously for As a father, I feel dissatisfied that I can't grasp the key points in the chat.

"Oh, of course I know. Hey, I'm just asking casually. Isn't Dad curious? Academician Chen shouldn't pick you up at the airport in person because of a competition paper, and arrange an internal guest house for you, right?"

"Of course not! They were discussing a mathematical problem along the way, and I couldn't understand it. But I heard Academician Chen say that he hoped to announce the mathematical problem proposed by Ning Qing in the mathematical community, and he would directly name it as Ning’s conjecture, that Professor Fan also said that the question raised by Ning Qing is very helpful for the research on the performance of high-dimensional convex bodies in the mathematical community.”

"Ning's Conjecture? So Ning Qing was paid attention by Academician Chen because he raised a mathematical problem?"

"Not only did this question come up, Ning Qing also perfectly solved this problem. Just now Academician Chen encouraged Ning Qing to write the paper. He said that he would personally write the paper for the journal that Ning Qing contributed to. A letter of recommendation."

"That's really excellent. It seems that your classmate will definitely become a very famous mathematician in the future."

"I just knew you would think so too, but you're wrong!"

"Wrong? What do you mean?"

"Just now he said that he actually doesn't want to study mathematics in the future. Because purely academic research can't change everything that he feels unfair and wants to change. So he wants to learn other content instead of purely academic. research, but to be someone influential enough to make a difference in the world. Dad, I thought he was as handsome as you when he said that."

"Oh, it's really very personal. Haha, so after he said this, it made you feel that learning music is a boring thing, right?"

"Yeah. I'm so envious of his expression when he said these words, and I also want to live a more exciting life in the future. And I really don't want to play the piano to please people."

"Okay, Dad supports you, I only have one request. You can give up music and piano, but you have to think about what you want to do in the future before you plan to study abroad, then Dad will support you, okay? "

"It's okay, Dad, you're the best!"

"Haha, but if you are so careful, don't tell your Uncle Lin that if Uncle Lin knows that you think pianist is just a profession that pleases people, he may have to cut off relations with me. Haha..."

"Don't worry, Dad, definitely not!"

"Okay, it's getting late for you. You should rest early and think about your future plans."

"Okay, sweet daddy, bye."

"OK Bye Bye."

……

After hanging up the phone, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the executive suite on the 36th floor of the hotel, Liu Zhixin, who could almost overlook Luoao City in the Capital Region of Ruien, pondered for a moment before returning to the desk in the living room and pressing a button on the desk.

Then a young man in a suit and leather shoes walked in.

"Mr. Liu, what's the matter?"

"Cancel the next itinerary, arrange the plane, and I will leave for Jingzhou today."

"This... Mr. Liu, the next negotiation..."

"Tell those foreigners that if they still refuse to show their sincerity, don't talk about it! Damn, do you really think we are here to give them warmth?!"
