Chapter 647: Chapter 199 Returning without Accomplishment_3

“How about we go somewhere quiet and get a drink? You can get away from those boring mathematicians, and you can tell me more about how you usually bully people.”

I’m really curious about that. You know, I can hardly imagine how someone as brilliant as you bullies others!”

Qiao Yu only felt that the fragrance around him became more intense, he blinked instinctively and then said, “Um, Auntie…”

Hearing this address, the woman across from him was obviously stunned, and then she heard Qiao Yu’s piercing voice enter her ears.

“Well… my mom is right over there…”

As he spoke, Qiao Yu pointed in the direction where Qiao Xi was, then showed a shy teenage expression.

“Before we came, my mom specifically told me that if anyone wanted me to go out, I had to get her permission first. Later I need to go back with her.

Auntie, you might not know, but in Huaxia, at my age, I’m considered a minor. Whatever I do, I need to get my parents’ permission first.”

Grace felt a bit dizzy…

This guy called her Auntie? For a moment, Grace seemed to understand how Qiao Yu usually bullies people.

The most important thing is she’s only 23 years old this year. Can’t this damn guy see that she’s still a very young woman?

And what’s up with having to report back to his mom?

Just now, she thought this young man would be easy to handle, and the only trouble would be the middle-aged man with him. But she was still confident.

After all, a sidekick always has to listen to orders.

As long as she got Qiao Yu, she could always find some time alone with him. But now it seems like she was being a bit presumptuous.

This young guy seems a bit blind…

“Um, wait, did I hear you wrong? What did you just call me?”

Half a day later, Grace reacted and instinctively asked.

“Auntie? In Huaxia, this is a very respectful way to address women.” Qiao Yu said confidently.

“Damn it! I’m only twenty-three!”

Grace puffed up her chest and said angrily.

“Uh, I’m seventeen! In Huaxia, when we meet a woman six years older than us, teens like me always address them this way.”

Qiao Yu said with an innocent expression.

…

In the end, the beauty left angrily, probably holding back her anger from throwing the half glass of wine onto Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu then excitedly walked over to Zheng Xiweng and asked, “Uncle Zheng, could that have been the legendary sugar-coated bullet?”

Zheng Xiweng helplessly spread his hands and said, “How could I know? This is the United States, we can’t possibly investigate everyone who approaches you clearly.

But she did show up at the press conference this afternoon, sitting in the middle of the second row. But at that time she was wearing a black and white striped professional outfit.”

Hearing Zheng Xiweng’s words, Qiao Yu seemed a bit disappointed, suspiciously asking, “Does that mean Grace might actually be into me? Isn’t that a pity?”

“Although I can’t be sure, from this style of doing things… Hmm, wait, what are you pitying?”

Zheng Xiweng looked at the regretful Qiao Yu in shock and asked.

Qiao Yu disdainfully glanced at Zheng Xiweng and said, “We’re all men here, I don’t believe you don’t know what I’m talking about!”

Zheng Xiweng looked speechlessly at Qiao Yu, confirming with his eyes that this kid was really living the dream.

“Uh… Qiao Yu, you still have a girlfriend back in Huaxia.”

“Huh, you even know about that? But who said a man can only have one girlfriend in his life? Besides, how could a successful man possibly have only one woman behind him?”

Zheng Xiweng fell silent, not knowing how to answer this topic.

“Haha, just kidding with you. Old Zheng, you really aren’t humorous at all. Let’s go, say goodbye to my mom, and head back first. By the way, we’re leaving the day after tomorrow, right?”

“No, it’s at 3:10 PM tomorrow afternoon, taking a direct flight from Philadelphia International Airport to Beijing.”

“Huh? Didn’t they say there was no direct flight from Philadelphia to Beijing when we came? We even had a transfer.”

“Yes, it’s a large private jet, temporarily applied for an unscheduled flight permit.”

“Private jet? Can we leave two days later? Elder Yuan said that my mom wants to wait until the closing ceremony is over before leaving. She’s never flown a private jet in her life!”

“The flight path has already been applied for, the departure window’s time range is only three hours. Do you think it can wait a few days? Besides, we’re hitching a ride on someone else’s jet this time, a business team is returning to Beijing tomorrow.”

Moreover, if you work harder, your mom will have plenty of opportunities to fly private jets in the future. Really, there’ll be a bunch of people willing to help you hire them.”

This explanation pleased Qiao Yu, he nodded and said, “You have a point. Then I’ll follow your advice, Uncle Zheng, and go tell my mom.”

“The travel arrangements can be discussed at the farewell tomorrow. But it’s still necessary to go back early to rest today.”

“OK! I’ll listen to you, you’re the professional, Uncle Zheng.” Qiao Yu said eagerly.

After all, he was already tired of being in Philadelphia.

The food wasn’t tasty, and he was restricted from going out and having fun. He stayed in the hotel every day and got harassed by a group of people…

It was no fun at all. Going back would be different. He planned to take a trip to Star City while Director Tian, Elder Yuan, and his mom were still at the conference here; no one would be able to control him, and just thinking about it was exciting.

…

“Sorry sir, our agent failed to make contact with the target. We didn’t even find a chance to let the other party propose conditions.”

“What’s the reason, he doesn’t like this type?”

“Um, the target seems to find her too old…”

“Too old? Damn it, can’t you find someone younger?”

“Well, in fact, it’s very difficult to find someone of suitable age capable of attending a mathematicians’ dinner in such environments. You should know, a teenager can’t possibly be a reporter, let alone a genius mathematician. And the latter can’t be faked, possibly a few words would reveal too much… you know.”

“Don’t those old guys have daughters or granddaughters or something? Inserting an identity shouldn’t be too difficult for you.”

“Um… in fact, it’s quite difficult. You may not know, but in these highly specialized social events, participating mathematicians generally don’t bring family members.

And even if there’s someone of the right age, there are very few with enough status, and they still wouldn’t agree. We can’t force anyone, and it’s inconvenient to even approach, moreover, time is limited.”

“Alright then, was there any trouble caused?”

“No, it was just a very cautious attempt. Nothing troublesome happened, sir.”

“Alright then, let’s leave it at that. It’s just a theoretical mathematician, no need to worry too much, the mission is temporarily canceled. You know? These damn mathematicians, they think they can change the world, but they can’t change anything!”
