Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 56 What are you still hesitating about?
Ning Chen knew how important Qiu Chengtong's words were.

Sitting in front of him was a Fields Medal winner with a very high reputation in the world of mathematics.

Such a mathematician personally invited Ning Chen to study at Shuimu University, and Ning Chen had no reason to refuse.

Qiu Chengtong saw that Ning Chen did not give an answer immediately and continued:
"I know you are only a freshman, but according to my evaluation, your ability has long exceeded the ability of undergraduates. I have read your two papers, and many masters and doctors in the Department of Mathematics of Shuimu University may not be able to It’s comparable to you. Instead of wasting time on undergraduate studies, I think it’s better to go directly to the postgraduate stage.”

Qiu Chengtong thought that Ning Chen did not answer immediately because he was worried that he could not keep up with the pace of graduate students, but he did not know that Ning Chen was thinking about more than that.

"Professor Qiu, I am very honored to receive your invitation, but... I still want to stay at Shengzhou University first."

Hearing Ning Chen's answer, Qiu Chengtong was also a little surprised.

"Why, you don't like Shuimu University?" Qiu Chengtong said in surprise.

"No, no, no, Shuimu University has always been a university that I never dared to think of. Of course I am very eager and cherish this opportunity..."

Before Ning Chen could finish speaking, Qiu Chengtong interrupted:

"Then why are you hesitating? To put it bluntly, the teaching environment and teaching resources of Shengzhou University are definitely incomparable to Shuimu University. It is not easy for you to stand out from there. I don't want to let A mathematical genius, his growth is delayed because he cannot enjoy the best resources."

Although Qiu Chengtong's words were not pleasant, they were indeed true.

It was precisely because of his admiration for Ning Chen that Qiu Chengtong specially called Ning Chen over late at night and gave Ning Chen an unusual opportunity to further his studies.

But even so, Ning Chen still didn't want to go to Shuimu University to study.

"Professor Qiu, it is true that as you said, the conditions of Shengzhou University cannot be compared with Shuimu University, but I think the environment of Shengzhou University may be more suitable for me. In addition, if all students like me, If you choose to go to a better school, then the strength of Shengzhou University will always stagnate."

Seeing Ning Chen politely rejecting him, Qiu Chengtong was not angry, but became more and more interested in this young man.

Over the years, Qiu Chengtong has never met a student who would choose to refuse the opportunity to go to a higher education institution.

"Shengzhou University is really lucky to have a student like you at Shengzhou University! But you have only been studying at Shengzhou University for less than a year, and you already have such a deep affection for the school."

After hearing Qiu Chengtong's words, Ning Chen also realized that his reasons just now were somewhat untenable.

In Ning Chen's subconscious, he always thought that he had been studying at Shengzhou University for several years, but in fact, Ning Chen had only stayed at Shengzhou University for more than half a year after his rebirth.

Ning Chen quickly calmed down and continued:
"The teachers at Shengzhou University are very good and are willing to do everything they can to help us grow. In particular, Professor Yang Lianhua gave me a deep impression. When faced with better employment opportunities, Professor Yang still chose to stay at Shengzhou University, it is because of these teachers that Shengzhou University can get better and better."

"Okay, since you have your own ideas in your heart, I will respect your choice. But even if you don't want to come to Shuimu University to study, I will always welcome you to come to Shuimu University for exchange and study."

"Thank you, Professor Qiu. I am also looking forward to this opportunity."

If he only came to Shuimu University for exchange and study, Ning Chen naturally had no reason to refuse.

Ning Chen will definitely gain a lot from being able to have close contact with teachers and students from top universities.

"Ning Chen, don't call me Professor Qiu in private from now on, just call me Teacher Qiu."

"Okay, Teacher Qiu." Ning Chen knew what Qiu Chengtong meant, which meant that Qiu Chengtong had regarded himself as his student.

"This is my mailbox. If you have any questions in the future, you can send me an email to communicate with me. If there is something urgent, you can also contact my assistant Feng Lan directly."

Ning Chen wrote down Qiu Chengtong's email address and Feng Lan's mobile phone number. After thanking Qiu Chengtong again, he left Qiu Chengtong's office.

Feng Lan arranges a car to take Ning Chen back to the hotel. On the way, Ning Chen thinks about Qiu Chengtong's invitation to study at Shuimu University.

Ning Chen knew that if he didn't have the system in hand, Ning Chen would definitely not refuse such an opportunity.

But with the help brought by the system, Ning Chen now relies more on self-study to improve. Even if he comes to a higher school, there will be no qualitative change for Ning Chen.

Of course, Ning Chen's reasons for answering Qiu Chengtong were not entirely evasive words.

Shengzhou University was Ning Chen’s alma mater in his previous life. Ning Chen had a very special feeling for Shengzhou University.

Ning Chen also wants to bring Shengzhou University to a new height through his own efforts.

Back at the hotel, Liao Jun and others couldn't wait to ask about Ning Chen.

"Ning Chen, what did Professor Qiu talk to you just now?"

"We talked about some things about study and life, and Professor Qiu also invited me to come to Shuimu University for exchange and study in the future."

Ning Chen did not mention that Qiu Chengtong wanted Ning Chen to come directly to Shuimu University to study for graduate school. Ning Chen felt that it was better not to talk about this matter. Ning Chen also rejected Qiu Chengtong's invitation anyway.

But even so, everyone was surprised and delighted by Ning Chen's attitude.

"Ning Chen, it seems that Professor Qiu must like you very much. It is a good thing to have the opportunity to exchange and study at Shuimu University. This is an opportunity that many people only dream of."

In fact, several teachers know that based on Ning Chen's current performance, it may be difficult for Shengzhou University to retain Ning Chen in the future.

It's just that as teachers of Shengzhou University, it's not easy for them to say this in front of Ning Chen.

After all, from the school's perspective, we definitely hope that outstanding students can stay in the school. Only by retaining outstanding talents can the school develop in a better direction.

……

After the three-day finals and awards ceremony, Ning Chen and others boarded the plane back to Shengzhou.

Ning Chen gained a lot from this trip to the competition. Not only did he get five gold medals and one silver medal, but it also allowed Ning Chen to get to know Qiu Chengtong, a top mathematician in the world.

Shengzhou University has also benefited a lot from this, because Ning Chen's excellent results made many people aware of the existence of Shengzhou University for the first time.

The topic about Ning Chen and Shengzhou University is extremely hot on the Internet.
