CHAPTER 650: CHAPTER 200 HIGH-LEVEL RECEPTION_3

"Thank you."

"This is..."

"Hello."

...

Seven or eight leaders of various ranks came, and Qiao Yu managed to become familiar with all of them.

Everyone said a few words, which took about ten minutes. Luckily, the arrival area was quite shady, or Qiao Yu might have lost his patience standing in the sun.

Finally, it was time to talk to Director Zhang and the good guy.

Seeing them made Qiao Yu’s smile much more sincere. After all, he truly appreciated the difference between offering help in times of need and just adding to one’s success.

"Principal Zhang, Teacher Lan, so glad to see you!"

"We can’t call him Principal Zhang anymore; now it’s Director Zhang! Also, congratulations, Qiao Yu!" Lan Jie eagerly picked up the conversation and corrected him.

"Hello, Director Zhang!"

"Oh, stop it, you’re embarrassing me. Congratulations, Qiao Yu! Your Fields Medal really boosted the prestige of Xingtie First Middle School! From now on, our school might have to rely on your help!"

Zhang Tiejun held onto Qiao Yu’s hand and refused to let go, beaming as he spoke.

He was confident that Qiao Yu would achieve great things in the future, but he never expected Qiao Yu would bring back a Fields Medal within just two years.

His imagination couldn’t even keep up.

Mentioning the Fields Medal made Qiao Yu immediately pull his hand away from Zhang Tiejun’s firm grip and turn to Lan Jie, sincerely starting to apologize.

"Teacher Lan, I’m really sorry. I promised you before that I’d invite you to the award ceremony when I won a Fields Medal. But I got too excited and forgot.

But don’t worry, I’m still young. Next time I win the Fields Medal, I must invite you! I won’t forget this time! I’ll even have Qiao Xi remind me!"

"Huh?" Qiao Yu’s words left Lan Jie stunned.

To be honest, when Qiao Yu was giving his acceptance speech on the international mathematician’s stage, Lan Jie never expected Qiao Yu would specially mention his name.

He almost cried while watching the live broadcast...

He had just been thinking about how to bring up the topic with Qiao Yu, but Qiao Yu’s words left him at a loss.

Somewhat unsure, he asked, "Did you really say that?"

Qiao Yu immediately replied, "Yes, you forgot, it was when you took me to Xiao Zhou for the Little Alibaba Mathematics Contest. I said it on the train."

After speaking, Qiao Yu solemnly promised, "Teacher Lan, rest assured, next time for sure!"

Qiao Yu’s words made even Zhang Tiejun a bit jealous, and the other leaders exchanged glances.

After all, this "next time for sure" was hard to comment on...

Just when Qiao Yu thought the welcoming ceremony was about over, and he could get in the car and leave, unexpectedly, the main event was still to come.

"Qiao Yu, don’t be in such a hurry; there’s still one more segment."

"One more segment?"

"Haha... Mr. Liu, why don’t you announce it."

"Alright. Qiao Yu, to commend your outstanding achievements, the Huaxia Technology BU has decided after research to award you the title of Outstanding Young Scientist and a two million RMB bonus."

When Qiao Yu heard this serious announcement from the big shot in the tech department, he almost couldn’t react.

Let’s just say our own people are really reliable!

This time, after traveling such a long way, the total prize money converted to RMB wasn’t even eleven million.

Our own people offered twenty million in one go! That’s double what the foreigners gave! Most important, there was no prior hint at all; it was a complete surprise.

How should I put it, this has way more significance than any title of Outstanding Young Scientist.

At this moment, the big shot continued speaking.

"This not only affirms your achievements but also hopes that you will continue to strive for greater heights in your future research, contributing more wisdom and results to mathematics research in Huaxia and the world.

We hope you will continue to pay attention to and support your country’s science and technology endeavors, engage with domestic research institutions and young scientists, and contribute to advancing the foundation of scientific research in our country..."

Honestly, Qiao Yu couldn’t quite remember what else the big shot said afterward, but he clearly remembered that the bonus was already deposited before dinner.

His exclusive bank relationship manager personally called him.

If he hadn’t been busy at the time, this sweet-voiced manager would have introduced him to some mature, stable, and high-yield financial products.

Can’t deny that this efficiency is much faster than those people in the west. He hadn’t even wrapped his head around it, and his family assets had already increased 1.5 times.

It was only because he took a private jet ride back this time, elevating his wealth threshold infinitely high, or he might have happily had a drink.

Still, he was quite happy, happy enough to insist on dragging the good guy to his small house in Huaqing to chat late into the night.

Then, naturally, the next day, he took the good guy to find Zheng Xiweng.

"Uncle Zheng, I was already planning to visit Star City. Principal Zhang and Teacher Lan happened to be going, too. They’ve already booked the high-speed rail tickets to Star City for noon, so I’ll go with them."

"Wait a minute, did your mentor agree?" Zheng Xiweng just felt a bit of a headache.

"Of course, he agreed. Before going to Philadelphia, Director Tian said that I could take a week’s holiday after returning to Star City. If you don’t believe me, I can call Director Tian right now," Qiao Yu argued confidently.

"Then let me make a call to confirm." Zheng Xiweng finally realized the biggest issue of bringing back Qiao Yu ahead of time.

Goodness, both the big shot and his mom were still abroad at the conference, and looking around in China, it seemed no one could control this kid.

"Alright, by the way, tell Director Tian that I’ve already booked my ticket," Qiao Yu said with a grin.

He really wasn’t lying; before going to Philadelphia, Tian Yan had indeed promised him.

Hearing this, Zheng Xiweng put his phone back down and sighed, "Alright, I’ll go with Xiao Zhang and accompany you to Star City. I’ll buy the tickets now."
