CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 136: CAMPAIGN IN AUSTRALIA_4

However, Tian Yan Zhen didn’t speak up for him, he just gave him the number of Professor Luo, who was in charge of the summer camp review at the School of Mathematics.

Qiao Yu didn’t feel any psychological burden either, he just called right away and mentioned the matter.

Then he added the professor on WeChat, sent Keke Xia’s information to Professor Luo, and didn’t think about it again.

Two weeks later, he received a call from Keke Xia.

"Bro, I’ve really been selected for the Yanbei University summer camp, did you speak up for me?"

"Huh? Yanbei University’s summer camp enrollment already started? Oh no, I totally forgot about it. But it’s good that you got in, it means you’re capable enough and didn’t need me to put in a word."

"You’re definitely lying to me!"

"Why would I lie to you? I really forgot. By the way, what was your rank in the whole grade during the last exams?"

"Uh... 21st overall, and 17th in the elective subjects."

"See, there you go! What’s the concept of being ranked 21st in Changjun’s main branch? It’s like you’re more than halfway into Huaqing or Yanbei! It’s quite normal to pass the evaluation, isn’t it?"

"But..."

"No buts about it. By the way, my mom plans to visit me in Beijing at that time too, why don’t you come over with her? Then we can go back to Star City together."

"Auntie is going to Beijing too? That’s great."

"Yeah, okay then, let’s hang up."

"Okay!"

With this arranged, Qiao Yu is bound to have a very fulfilling July.

He even discussed all the itinerary arrangements with Director Tian and Elder Yuan.

This year’s IMO is from July 18th to July 26th. He will still attend as usual.

The delegation is estimated to depart on the 16th, arrive in Australia on the 18th, and return on the 26th. After returning, the Yanbei University Mathematics Science Summer Camp will start in two days.

This year’s schedule is from July 29th to August 1st, totaling four days. After the summer camp disperses, he can even take Qiao Xi and Xia Keke to play in Beijing for two days, then go back to Star City for more than half a month’s summer vacation.

Then in September, he will report to Yanbei University and officially start school.

After discussing it with Tian Yan Zhen, Qiao Yu still decided to transfer his student status into the talent class as usual.

However, Qiao Yu doesn’t need to attend classes. Instead, he will submit a written application and study plan to the school, and the department will assess his performance and ability in all subjects.

As long as he reaches the required credits, he can directly apply to the academic office for graduation and transition to research studies.

In simple terms, Qiao Yu can apply to take exams based on the talent class’s curriculum at any time, and his exam results will be recorded in his file and the system like other students, counting towards his credits and GPA.

If Qiao Yu is confident, he can complete all four years of the talent class curriculum in half a year or even less, directly obtain his graduation certificate and degree certificate, and formally start the joint training program at Yanbei and Huaqing’s two major research centers.

However, Qiao Yu’s plan for himself isn’t that urgent. He roughly estimated that given his study efficiency, it’s better to plan for one year for the undergraduate stage to ensure a solid foundation.

As for the master’s and doctoral stages, they can be appropriately accelerated. As long as the foundation is solid, when the time is right, he can write a sufficiently weighty paper and graduate directly when he comes of age.

At that time, having a professor’s identity will still be useful. Of course, it’s not just for being Qiao Xi’s teacher. The main thing is to act with more freedom.

In general, that’s roughly the plan. Qiao Yu hasn’t thought too much about the specific future.

However, at the beginning of July, there was another surprise.

Quite inexplicably, after Qiao Yu finished reading a book and was having dinner, he suddenly received a bank message notification, showing a large deposit, totaling 1,367,000.

Although Qiao Yu likes money, receiving money so suddenly still made him a bit bewildered.

So he quickly sent a screenshot of the transfer directly to Tian Yan Zhen on WeChat.

"Director Tian, I suddenly got a large amount of income just now, what’s going on?"

Qiao Yu didn’t have to wait long before Tian Yan Zhen called him.

"That money should be the consulting fee from Professor Zhang’s project group. He asked me for your bank account number and information a few days ago."

"Professor Zhang?"

"You forgot, the new cobalt-based catalyst project before, I asked you to help. Your consulting fee was supposed to be two million, but they paid the taxes for you when transferring the money. By next month, you should be able to see it in your personal income tax."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu instantly remembered.

A bit surprised.

He recalled that the problem was quite simple. He had just casually calculated it in a day, and he received a consulting fee of two million?

"Huh?"

"Don’t mind the high taxes. Paying taxes according to the law is an honorable thing. Besides, your situation is quite special, and it’s difficult to avoid taxes even if you wanted to. Since you’re not an adult yet, using other methods for tax would cause many troubles, so using casual labor income is the best way."

"No, I don’t really mind the taxes. But isn’t two million a bit too much?"

"Haha, Professor Zhang said you at least saved the project group two months of time, and the effect was particularly good. He even asked me to thank you properly. Anyway, the money’s already been transferred to you, so you can manage it yourself. Just don’t go around telling everyone."

"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t go around talking about it. But if Professor Zhang needs help with any future projects, I’m more than willing to assist."

"Don’t just dream about good things, projects that don’t lack money like these horizontal collaborations are rare. If it’s a vertical scientific research project, even if you help, you might only get an author’s spot on a paper and a few thousand in labor fees. Right now, your task is to focus on studying, don’t rush to make money. I’m hanging up now."
