Chapter 184 Am I crazy or is this world crazy!
"What a coincidence, we actually meet here!" Ran Na greeted Xu Qingzhou enthusiastically.
Xu Qingzhou was also a little surprised and asked, "Are you guys here to play?"
"Yes, we just arrived last night and are now preparing to go to the Church of St. Mary the Great." As she spoke, Ran Na looked at Xu Qingzhou and felt that he was even more sloppy than when she saw him on the plane that day.
Xu Qingzhou nodded and pointed to the road ahead, "Go straight along this street, turn left at the fourth intersection to Trinity Street, walk north along it for one kilometer, and you will see St. Mary's Church."
"Wow, you are so familiar with this place." Ran Na sighed, and then looked at the thick stack of documents in Xu Qingzhou's hand, pretending to be angry and said: "Didn't you say that you are not an international student?"
Familiar with the road and holding a pile of manuscripts, she thought Xu Qingzhou was an international student here.
Sun Qingli also complained in his heart. Sure enough, this guy is just a pretentious dog. He came to Cambridge to study abroad, so he came to Cambridge to study abroad. He even said he had something to do, haha.
Xu Qingzhou shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to attend the report meeting."
Sun Qingli's forehead was full of black lines. Studying abroad is fine, but he also has to attend a seminar? Brother, you are being too pretentious.
He had seen information before he came that Cambridge seemed to be holding a large-scale mathematics conference recently, and he heard that the participants were all top-notch experts.
However, he did not intend to expose the truth now, lest Xiao Ran think he was narrow-minded again. Instead, he wanted to put out the notice of the lecture to be held in Cambridge later so that Xiao Ran could see this man's true face.
What level of ability does it take to be able to attend a lecture of this scale like the big guys?
"Lecture meeting?" Ran Na was not familiar with these things. Instead, she was more concerned about Xu Qingzhou's name: "This is the second time we meet. It can be said that we are destined to meet. I don't even know your name yet."
Before Xu Qingzhou could say anything, he noticed Professor Maynard and another middle-aged man walking over.
"Good morning, Professor Maynard." Xu Qingzhou greeted.
"Good morning, Xu." Professor Maynard greeted Ranna and the other two, and then said with a smile: "Let me introduce you, this is Professor Barzel from Princeton."
Xu Qingzhou extended his hand: "Hello, Professor Bazel."
"Hello, Mr. Xu." Professor Basel smiled and shook hands with Xu Qingzhou.
Ran Na and Sun Qingli looked at the two foreigners who appeared and were a little confused. If this scene was a few big guys greeting each other, it would not be strange at all, but two middle-aged uncles and a young man around 20 years old...
The impact of this scene is hard to accept.
Professor Barzel: "Mr. Xu, I can't wait to listen to your lecture today."
Xu Qingzhou said: "Thank you, I believe you will not be disappointed."
Wait, this boy’s lecture?
Ranna was stunned, her brain didn't react for a moment. Her English was pretty good, so she could hear the conversation between the three people clearly.
Sun Qingli also had a dull expression on his face. He felt that this matter was a bit weird. The foreigners who were very enthusiastic about this pretentious guy, one of them was Professor Maynard, and this one with the surname Basel was a professor at Princeton?
He was going to give a lecture, and both professors came to listen.
What kind of fantasy beginning is this?
Isn’t Cambridge very awesome? Why did you invite a young man under 20 years old to give a report?
Am I crazy or is this world crazy?
At this time, he even suspected that he had not woken up yet and everything that was happening now was an illusion.
Professor Maynard recalled the exchange meeting a few days ago and sighed, "Barzel, Xu is not only good at number theory, but also very good at linear algebra and complex functions."
"I know."
Professor Basel looked at Xu Qingzhou and said, "I have an old friend who highly praises your article "The Classic Description of Einstein Coefficients in Quantum Optics". I have also had the honor of reading it and it is very well written." "Is your friend Mr. Steven?" Professor Maynard asked.
Professor Bazel nodded and said, "Steven also invited Mr. Xu to study for a degree at Princeton. Unfortunately, Mr. Xu refused."
Xu Qingzhou shrugged: "Sorry, going abroad is not in my plan."
"Even Mr. Steven was rejected. It seems that I shouldn't be so depressed."
Professor Maynard said jokingly, and then he sighed: "God is really unfair. Some people are born to do research. Maybe you are one of them."
“Thank you for the compliment. Actually, I am just very interested in these things and I am working hard to do them. There is still a lot to learn and improve.”
Xu Qingzhou smiled modestly.
At this time, a staff member came over and said, "Mr. Xu, the equipment for the lecture is ready."
"Okay, thank you." Xu Qingzhou nodded.
Seeing that the time was up, after saying hello to Xu Qingzhou, Professor Maynard and the other person said goodbye and left without any further delay.
Xu Qingzhou turned around and looked at Ran Na and the other person who had been stunned for a long time. "Sorry, I still have to go to make a report. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Ranna waved blankly.
Xu Qingzhou nodded, took two steps, seemed to have thought of something, turned to look at Ran Na, and said, "By the way, my name is Xu Qingzhou."
After saying that, he strode towards the lecture hall.
"Xu Qingzhou" Ran Na murmured to herself, feeling that the name sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, she looked up suddenly. This seemed to be the name she had heard some time ago!
She quickly took out her phone and searched for Xu Qingzhou's name. Sure enough, a large number of entries with the three words "Xu Qingzhou" appeared on the web page instantly.
Cramer's prover - Xu Qingzhou.
Seeing Ran Na's excited expression, Sun Qingli walked over with confusion. When he saw the information about Xu Qingzhou on the web page, his pupils froze and he stood there as if his soul had been drained.
The good news is that this guy is not really an international student at Cambridge.
The bad news is that this guy was invited by Cambridge to give a report!
On the other side, Xu Qingzhou had already walked into the lecture hall and found that there were quite a lot of people inside and it was almost full.
"Xiao Xu, this is your first time attending a seminar like this. Are you nervous?"
Academician Xu was waiting in front. He and Zhao Zhenglai went to London for a meeting yesterday. Because they were worried about Xu Qingzhou, they hurried back this morning.
Xu Qingzhou shook his head: "Not nervous."
Seeing that Xu Qingzhou was in a relatively relaxed state, Academician Xu felt relieved and said, "This is a very good attitude. Just treat this as an ordinary exchange meeting."
"Thank you, Academician Xu." Xu Qingzhou thanked.
Academician Xu shook his head. He was an honorary professor of Peking University and Xu Qingzhou was also his student. It was only natural for him to take care of his student.
"Junior brother, come on." Zhao Zhenglai cheered Xu Qingzhou.
Xu Qingzhou smiled and nodded, then walked to the podium holding the Q&A materials he had prepared a few days ago. As the minute hand stopped at position 6, his first math lecture officially began.
