Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

The reason why Ning Chen is so obsessed with buying a house is because of the painful experience of being a house slave in his previous life.

After Ning Chen graduated from university, housing prices in Shengzhou increased several times in just a few years, and housing in various areas became very popular.

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 with less than 100 square meters, the total price of the house exceeds one million.

After paying 30% of the down payment, Ning Chen still had to bear a monthly mortgage of more than 5,000 yuan, which made Ning Chen, who had a low salary, live a very tight life.

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

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

Liao Jun did not shy away and answered the phone directly.

"Yes, I am the competition director of Shengzhou 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 to come over and have a face-to-face communication."

Ning Chen was also a little surprised when he heard Liao Jun's words.

It was already so late, and Qiu Chengtong still wanted to communicate with him face to face. It seemed that he really had something important to tell him.

"Okay, I'll go there now."

"No, they are arranging a car to pick you up now. We can just go downstairs and wait."

Ning Chen also thinks that this arrangement is better. After all, the campus of Shuimu University is too big and it does 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 soon and we will send Ning Chen back safely. Don't worry."

Although this is a foreign country, Ning Chen is an adult after all, so 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 much to Ning Chen. Although Ning Chen had some questions, 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.

"Classmate 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 up 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 Qiucheng this time, compared to the previous oral examination, Ning Chen actually seemed 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 such a spirit of research, 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 very large, but it is filled with all kinds of information.

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

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

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

Just like the first meeting, Qiu Chengtong did not directly talk about mathematics with Ning Chen, but chatted with Ning Chen.

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

"Please give me Professor Qiu's advice."

"There is a saying in "The Great Learning": After knowing to stop, there will be concentration, and after concentration, one can be still. The so-called 'quiet studio' comes from here..."

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

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

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

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

"You may not know, but I actually studied at the Chinese University of Hong Kong as an undergraduate, majoring in mathematics. Indeed, as you said, I personally like literature very much. I have read all kinds of Chinese literature and history classics since I was a child. Even now I still I feel that no matter what field of study you are doing, you must have a deep cultural foundation..."

Through Qiu Chengtong's self-narration, Ning Chen learned more about Qiu Chengtong, which also made Ning Chen more and 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, China has become the country with the strongest mathematics level in the world, and foreigners are rushing to learn Chinese!"

Ning Chen also understood the profound meaning of Qiu Chengtong and said:

"Yes, Professor Qiu, we study English not to worship foreigners, 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 that you understand. At worst, we will still answer in Chinese from the next term. It doesn't matter. Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

Qiu Chengtong realized that he had said too many off-topic things, and he had no choice but to get 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.
