Chapter 55 A Different Professor Qiu

The reason why Ning Chen has such a deep obsession with buying a house is because of the painful experience of being a house slave in the previous life.

After Ning Chen graduated from university, in just a few years, the housing prices in Shengzhou doubled several times, and the houses in various regions became very sought-after.

In order to prevent house prices from continuing to rise and unable to afford a house, Ning Chen also grabbed a house that he was not so satisfied with after constant searching.

Just a house outside the third ring road, less than 100 square meters, the total price of the house exceeds [-] million.

After paying 5000% of the down payment, Ning Chen still needs to bear a monthly mortgage loan of more than [-] yuan, which makes Ning Chen, who has a low salary, live a very tight life.

As a reborn person, Ning Chen didn't want to repeat the pain of the previous life.

While Ning Chen was thinking about this, Liao Jun's phone rang suddenly.

Liao Jun did not evade, and directly answered the phone.

"Yes, I am the competition director of Seongju University."

"Yes, we are still in the hotel?"

"now?"

"Okay, let me tell Ning Chen."

After hanging up the phone, Liao Jun said to Ning Chen:

"Ning Chen, Professor Qiu Chengtong would like to invite you over to have a face-to-face exchange."

Hearing Liao Jun's words, Ning Chen was also a little surprised.

It's so late, Qiu Chengtong still wants to communicate with him face to face, it seems that there are really some important things to tell him.

"Okay, then I'll go over now."

"No, they're arranging a car to pick you up now, we just go downstairs and wait."

Ning Chen also felt that such an arrangement would be better. After all, the campus of Shuimu University is too big, and it would take a lot of time to walk there.

Ning Chen and others came downstairs to the hotel, just as the car arranged by Qiu Chengtong also arrived.

A woman got out of the passenger seat of the car and recognized Ning Chen immediately after seeing her.

"Classmate Ning Chen, I am Professor Qiu's assistant Feng Lan. Please get in the car."

When Liao Jun and others saw this, they understood that Qiu Chengtong's intention was to only let Ning Chen pass.

"Don't worry, it will be over in a while, we will send Ning Chen back safely, don't worry."

Although this is a foreign place, Ning Chen is an adult after all, and Liao Jun is not worried about what will happen to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen was invited to the right back seat of the car by Feng Lan. Ning Chen knew that according to etiquette, this was the most distinguished seat in the car.

Along the way, Feng Lan didn't say anything to Ning Chen. Although Ning Chen had some doubts in his heart, he didn't ask Feng Lan.

Soon, the car arrived at its destination. Ning Chen opened the door and got out of the car without waiting for Feng Lan to open the door for him.

"Student Ning Chen, please come with me."

"Okay, Teacher Feng."

Following Feng Lan's guidance, Ning Chen came to a quaint building.

I saw the word "Jingzhai" written on the building. Ning Chen had no impression of this building before, but it seemed to be quite old.

Arriving at the end of the corridor on the second floor, Feng Lan gently knocked on the door:
"Professor Qiu, I brought Ning Chen here."

"Okay, please come in. Feng Lan, make us a pot of tea."

"Okay, Professor Qiu." At this time, Qiu Chengtong was reading the paper in the office, and filled the draft paper next to him with various formulas.

"Professor Qiu."

"Ning Chen, we meet again. Please sit down."

"Thank you, Professor Qiu."

After getting Qiu Chengtong's permission, Ning Chen sat on the chair opposite Qiu Chengtong, his body straight and upright.

Although Ning Chen only faced the same person as Qiu Cheng this time, compared to the previous oral interview, Ning Chen seemed a little more nervous.

"Ning Chen, I'm sorry, please give me a few more minutes, I still have some calculations to complete."

"It's okay, Professor Qiu, you go about your business first."

Naturally, Ning Chen would not feel uncomfortable because Qiu Chengtong neglected him. On the contrary, Qiu Chengtong had this kind of research spirit, which was what Ning Chen admired.

While Qiu Chengtong was making calculations, Ning Chen looked at Qiu Chengtong's office.

The entire office is not that big, but it is full of various materials.

Even on the ground, Ning Chen saw a pair of dumbbells, and it could be seen that Qiu Chengtong should often do various work here.

A few minutes passed, Qiu Chengtong seemed to have completed his calculation, and looked up at Ning Chen.

"Ning Chen, do you know how Jingzhai got its name?"

Just like the first time they met, Qiu Chengtong didn't directly talk about mathematics with Ning Chen, but chatted with Ning Chen.

Ning Chen knew that the "Jingzhai" that Qiu Chengtong said was the name of this building.

"Please give me Professor Qiu's advice."

"There is a saying in "University": Knowing to stop and then having samadhi, and then being able to be at peace. The so-called 'quiet fasting' comes from here..."

Listening to Qiu Chengtong's explanation, Ning Chen had a different impression of Qiu Chengtong.

Originally, Ning Chen thought that Qiu Chengtong would be a pure mathematician, not good at other fields.

Now it seems that Qiu Chengtong also has certain attainments in literature.

"Professor Qiu, I didn't expect you to like literature very much."

"You may not know, but I actually studied at Hong Kong Chinese University as an undergraduate. Of course, I majored in mathematics. As you said, I personally like literature very much. I have read all kinds of Chinese literature and history since I was a child. Until now I still I feel that no matter what kind of knowledge you are doing, you must have a profound cultural foundation..."

Through Qiu Chengtong's self-report, Ning Chen learned more about Qiu Chengtong, which also made Ning Chen more interested in this world-class mathematician.

"When I asked for all answers in this competition to be answered in English, some students also questioned why China's exams must be in English. It's not that our math level is not as good as theirs! If that day comes, Huaguo has become the country with the strongest mathematics level in the world, so foreigners are rushing to learn Chinese!"

Ning Chen also understood Qiu Chengtong's deep meaning and said:

"Yes, Professor Qiu, we do not learn English to worship foreign countries, but to understand the most advanced foreign knowledge. This does not conflict with promoting Chinese culture."

At the same time, Ning Chen also secretly determined in his heart that one day he must make China the academic center of the world and let foreigners write papers and answer questions in Chinese!

"Hey, it's good if you understand. At worst, it doesn't matter if you change the answer in Chinese from the next session. Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

Qiu Chengtong realized that he had said too many off-topic things, so he had no choice but to be more excited when he saw someone he admired.

"Ning Chen, I came to you this time because I want to tell you something. I am now officially inviting you to go to the Department of Mathematics of Shuimu University to study for graduate school under my name."

Hearing Qiu Chengtong's words, Ning Chen felt a little unbelievable for a moment.
