CHAPTER 625: CHAPTER 193: ARRIVED SMOOTHLY_2

Hmm, Qiao Yu probably understood what Director Tian meant by having invisible security personnel.

Not only are there bodyguards, but there’s also a dedicated team responsible for information collection and analysis, and even staging a public opinion battle if needed. This is likely the legendary full-spectrum protection?

Qiao Yu felt rather uninterested for a moment. With Britain’s troublemaking, his desire to go out would most likely be doomed to fail.

He mentally noted down Britain. Love to be a troublemaker, huh? Speaking of which, London is also Europe’s financial center. Once he settles this matter, London will be the first to pay protection fees!

Let them understand what being a troublemaker means—trouble will definitely backfire. Wait, he’s not the trouble; it’s so annoying!

Luckily, Qiao Yu didn’t care to dwell on the topic any further and turned to Professor Su to ask, "By the way, you mentioned some Structure Committee just now. What is it?"

Professor Su immediately explained, "It’s a newly established committee by the IMU, mainly responsible for selecting speakers and topics at the ICM. Being able to present at the International Mathematicians Conference is an honor.

So previously, when choosing speakers, there was some outside influence. The members of this newly established department have their identities kept confidential before the IMU conference to protect the committee from independent selection of qualified speakers for the conference."

Professor Su explained very thoroughly, as he came to pick up Qiao Yu for this specific reason; otherwise, he wouldn’t need to make a trip.

Zheng Xiweng and Zhang Mingyu, who were following closely behind Qiao Yu, were labeled as research entourage personnel but were really only responsible for Qiao Yu’s safety.

For various intricacies within the conference, it still required him to explain to Qiao Yu.

Seeing Qiao Yu nod continuously, Professor Su continued, "There are also meetings with some small teams, all currently mainstream mathematicians in the world.

Engaging in sufficient exchanges before the conference will greatly benefit you. In short, your schedule is packed tomorrow. So don’t even think about going out today—go back to the hotel and rest well."

Qiao Yu reluctantly nodded his head.

They chatted on and off with Professor Su for a while, and in less than half an hour, the car drove into a parking lot.

The three of them followed Professor Su to check in directly. Probably considering the convenience for Qiao Yu to receive visitors, they arranged a suite for him. Professor Su escorted Qiao Yu to the room and casually pulled open the curtains.

"The biggest advantage of this Days Inn is that the Pennsylvania Convention Center is right across the street. You can see the main structure from this room."

Qiao Yu looked out the window and had to admit the room offered a decent view.

At this point, it hadn’t completely darkened outside, and he could see the glass curtain wall on the opposite side reflecting the sun’s afterglow.

It looked like a very modern building, but in Beijing, he had seen many such buildings. It was actually the many seemingly historical buildings next to the convention center that piqued Qiao Yu’s interest.

But after glancing a few more times, Qiao Yu lost interest and casually asked, "Is Director Tian coming over later?"

"Hmm, Academician Tian is still chatting with some old friends today, telling you to rest early. I guess he won’t... come over tonight."

Before Professor Su could finish his words, someone peeked half their head into the room.

"Junior Brother."

"Huh, Senior Brother Chen, how did you know I arrived?"

"Director Tian told me."

Seeing a familiar face in a foreign country, Qiao Yu felt a warmth in his heart. He beckoned to Chen Zhuoyang.

Chen Zhuoyang walked into Qiao Yu’s room, curiously glancing at Zheng Xiweng and Zhang Mingyu by Qiao Yu’s side, but they ignored him. He wasn’t too curious either, just greeting Professor Su.

"Professor Su."

"Ah, Zhuoyang, you’re here. Well, if you have anything, just discuss it with Qiao Yu. I have some matters to attend to as well."

"Thank you for the hard work, Professor Su."

"Not at all. I’ll be off now, Qiao Yu, remember to have a good rest."

"Qiao Yu, we are staying in the room next to yours. Remember what I told you before if anything happens."

Knowing Qiao Yu wanted to chat with Chen Zhuoyang, Zheng Xiweng also took Zhang Mingyu and left.

After half a month of coordination, they were already very much in sync with each other. Even though there were no formal lessons, in case of any unexpected situations, there’s a complete plan for how to deal with it, which has also been explained to Qiao Yu.

They even simulated it many times, and with Qiao Yu’s intelligence, his on-the-spot reactions couldn’t be faulted.

And it’s basically impossible for any unexpected situation to occur in the hotel. Security work is never about responding swiftly to unforeseen circumstances but a task that requires preventing them in the first place,

Eliminating danger before it happens is the most perfect kind of security.

"Was it fun coming with Director Tian this time?" Once everyone had left, Qiao Yu immediately asked.

Chen Zhuoyang chuckled wryly, "Fun? Director Tian has been busy with meetings in Manhattan the whole time. I just came along to gain some exposure."

"Manhattan is great, an international metropolis. Did you visit Wall Street? Was it fun?" Qiao Yu asked with great curiosity.

"I just took a random look from the car, nothing special, just a bunch of skyscrapers. Doesn’t seem like much. Plus, the streets are narrow, and you have to zigzag through them."

Chen Zhuoyang thought about it carefully and replied. He genuinely felt it wasn’t anything special. The buildings in Beijing and Mingzhu aren’t inferior to those on Wall Street, and they even look newer.

Qiao Yu cast a contemptuous glance at his senior brother, saying, "Who said anything about the buildings! In places like that, you’re supposed to watch the people. I’ve heard the brokers there are crazy."
