CHAPTER 392: CHAPTER 136 CONQUERING AUSTRALIA_5

After saying that, Tian Yan just straightforwardly hung up the phone, cutting off Qiao Yu’s thoughts.

Well, it turns out earning money isn’t as easy as imagined. However, just by casually helping with some calculations, he could earn a two million service fee, which still gave Qiao Yu a little shock.

Although Senior Brother Chen calculated for him, if he received all the various paper bonuses and the scholarships awarded by the school, he might also have a million income in a year.

But after all, he hadn’t seen any of that money yet.

However, this 1,367,000 yuan had already been deposited into his bank account for real, and he had even paid 633,000 yuan in taxes.

This also means that his personal assets have already broken through the 1.6 million mark!

This is definitely something Qiao Yu never expected before coming to Yanbei University.

When he came, he had more than 250,000 in his card, and since arriving, he hadn’t really spent any money.

There’s still a six-figure amount on the card from Huaqing. The dining card here in Yanbei isn’t as extravagant, but there’s a fixed deposit of 3,000 yuan every month, which he never managed to finish using.

It’s rare for him to go out, and he never had to spend money. There was always someone around to settle the bill for him.

Including the two watches he bought in France to prepare for when Qiao Xi and Xia Keke come, Tian Yan did not accept his money afterward.

Plus, he has a lot of money outside, for example, with Senior Brother Chen and his alma mater.

If you add all this up, it’s more than two million.

Even though this amount of money seems trivial to many people online, for the current Qiao Yu, it’s definitely a significant number.

After all, he had never truly seen so much money.

If he didn’t consider his grand ideal, he could live a prosperous life in Star City for several years without doing anything.

His mood was naturally excellent.

Although Qiao Yu felt that for now, he didn’t really have anywhere to spend money, at least this income meant he was one step closer to his ideal.

The only frustrating part for Qiao Yu is that the interest on fixed deposits is frighteningly low. You never know when you might need money.

He didn’t want to touch things that were beyond his control like funds and stocks. So he straightforwardly got a smart seven-day notice deposit.

The interest was rather meager, but it was stable and flexible. He could use it as needed.

This money going into his card seemed like a signal, and events followed one after another.

The next day, he was pulled into the group for this IMO by Leader Professor Zhou.

Apparently, he was the last one to be added to the group, as he was last in the list.

The truth is that the group was actually set up after the second CMO training camp, but Zhou Liang hadn’t added Qiao Yu into the group yet.

This was also a request from Tian Yan. Many things that followed didn’t require Qiao Yu’s participation, afraid that the group chat content would disturb Qiao Yu’s study plan.

But now that it’s almost time to depart, it’s natural for Qiao Yu to rejoin the team.

To be honest, whether Qiao Yu could attend the event in Australia, even Zhou Liang the leader was unsure.

Before, no one had ever encountered the situation where an IMO candidate had the chance to give an opening report at a world-class mathematics conference before the competition.

Not only had no one encountered it, they couldn’t even imagine it.

Especially for this team’s leader Professor Zhou Liang from Yanbei University, the deputy leader Professor Zhang Zhuowei from Huaqing University’s Academy of Sciences, and Fu Shaohua the observer from Shuangdan University, the most embarrassing situation was although they were professors, their academic achievements didn’t quite match up to the sixteen-year-old Qiao Yu.

Although the number of published papers would definitely be more than Qiao Yu’s, the quality couldn’t be compared.

For example, none of the three had ever given a 60-minute opening report at a world-class academic conference. They also hadn’t had the chance to publish in the four top mathematics journals yet.

Nor had the two of them ever appeared on the Central Media’s seven-o’clock news.

They hadn’t even appeared in the official media’s newspapers.

It was clearly a difficult team to lead.

And so it seemed.

As soon as Qiao Yu entered the group, he said, "Hello everyone," and a bunch of young players started making a fuss.

Yu Yongjun was the first to jump out, sending a "Big Boss, please have some tea" emoji, then everyone started passing it on.

As the observer, Fu Shaohua could pretend he didn’t see it, but Leader Zhou naturally had to say something.

Well, honestly, Zhou Liang almost sent the same emoji out of habit, but caught himself and held back in time.

"Alright, quiet down everyone. All the members going to this IMO are now present. I will send the itinerary for this time to the group tonight, and there are a few things I need to emphasize to everyone first.

First is discipline. Representing the country in competition means every action and word should be particularly noted, not only to show our team’s good image but also to ensure focus during the competition period..."

As usual, he reiterated the key points of participating in the competition in the group, then sent the arrangements and regulations given by the committee to the group.

Zhou Liang made the final summary.

"Alright, now everyone should prepare individually to participate in the competition. Be especially mindful of your diet these days, and if you feel uncomfortable in any way, report to me immediately.

Lastly, I hope everyone can relax their mindset and just try your best. We’ve been working hard for so long, and now it’s time to showcase your strength. Regardless of the final results, I believe each one of you will be the best!"

...

The main group calmed down, and the friends’ group became lively.

Gong Jiatao: "Well, to speak the truth, Boss Qiao, haven’t you given up on IMO yet? Do you really have the nerve to go with us to Australia?"
