Super God-Level Top Student

Su Lixing sensitively noticed that Li Jiangao showed a moment of displeasure after looking at his phone.

However, he just smiled slightly and did not say much.

Su Lixing's approval of Qiao Ze had increased somewhat.

But it was only somewhat.

Although there was not much conversation with Qiao Ze during the meal, it was enough for him to see Qiao Ze's shortcomings in other areas.

He could also tell that Su Mucheng was truly very happy now.

But how long the enthusiasm of young people can last is a question.

Especially with a personality like Qiao Ze, it still made him, as a father, somewhat worried.

Su Lixing's thinking was quite open-minded.

He did not need the other party to be a perfect match in status.

As long as nothing outrageous, his daughter Chengzi should have enough money for the rest of her life.

The valuation of Licheng Software is not considered high, but there should always be a billion or so. If he really wanted to sell it, he would certainly need to discount it from the valuation—ten billion might be challenging, but seven or eight billion would definitely attract buyers.

Add to that the savings over the years and the company's cash flow, Su Lixing might not compare with those super-rich tycoons who get crowds of people calling them daddy on Weibo over a single word.

But he is definitely one of the top people standing at the apex of the pyramid in Huaxia.

It's just that Su Lixing is one of those people who actually don't have much ambition in business.

Those veterans under his command think about how to expand the company's scale every day, hire more people, grab more business.

There were even suggestions of setting up branches in other regions, trying to instill that non-progress is regress business logic into him every day, all suppressed by him forcefully.

What a joke?

Can money be earned thoroughly?

Are we to abandon life for money?

If they want to start their own business, they can leave anytime, and he would send them off with both hands raised.

If they want him to get busier, no way!

So Su Lixing truly did not mind if his future son-in-law's family matched the Su Family or could help him in any way.

But at least he should be a normal person, right?

If you're with a wooden person every day in the future, won't you get tired of it?!

...

"I think we've eaten quite a lot today. How about we call it a day? Thank you, Su, for your hospitality."

After putting down his phone and eating a few more bites of food, seeing that the two kids opposite had also stopped eating, Li Jiangao suggested with a smile.

Feeling somewhat heavy in his heart, he planned to talk to Qiao Ze about this matter in the afternoon.

"Ah... no rush, it's good to leave the two kids some space to chat."

Su Lixing said with a smile, "I just saw that Li seemed to have encountered some trouble? If I can be of any help, just let me know."

Hearing this, Su Mucheng looked up at Su Lixing and generously gave her father an approving look.

The connection between father and daughter was very subtle.

Although there was no vocal communication, Su Lixing still subconsciously looked over and received the approval, then he bitterly smiled.

Ignoring him for an entire meal, this comment actually made him happy.

Alas...

To his surprise, Li Jiangao just shook his head slightly and politely declined, "It's nothing. Although it was somewhat unexpected, it's not anything particularly troublesome. And to be honest, Su might not be very familiar with some of the things in the academic community, and it might be hard to help."

Clearly, Li Jiangao didn't even consider that Su Lixing's offer might be an attempt to sponsor Qiao Ze's research.

Corporate sponsorship of university research projects is not a novel concept in the current push for integration of industry, education, and research.

But who would dare to sponsor their type of pure mathematical theoretical projects?

Moreover, even if they managed to secure such special channel sponsorship funds, it's almost impossible to ensure that the money is spent exclusively for its intended purpose.

Unless the project leader is an academician, and not just any academician but one who is highly esteemed and respected by others, who would not dare to have designs on the money.

Otherwise, once the money enters the university's research pool...

How it's allocated is no longer up to Li Jiangao to say, and even the sponsor can't decide.

This was also the reason why, even though he felt Su Lixing was not short of money, he didn't consider this aspect at all.

"Oh? Is that so, that's a pity then." Su Lixing nodded, he could of course see that Li Jiangao had no intention of accepting his help.

He even specifically observed Qiao Ze's expression, which also did not change at all, not in the slightest.

Adults naturally don't speak as imprudently as children.

After hinting so much, and the other side not biting, Su Lixing found it inappropriate to say more.

To speak more bluntly would seem like charity, which might not bring any goodwill but instead cause displeasure.

However, this confirmed to him that sponsoring Qiao Ze's project was just his daughter's own one-sided wish.

At least this professor and Qiao Ze had truly never considered it, and neither was the type of person who is scheming and would go to any lengths for money.

"Well, Su might be very good at doing business, but the rules of academia..." Saying this, Li Jiangao subconsciously shook his head; he thought of Zhang Chunlei's words from last night, and couldn't help feeling uneasy, but it wasn't appropriate to fully express this in front of Su Lixing.

All his displeasure could only transform into a sigh, and then he looked toward Qiao Ze.

Just as their eyes met, Qiao Ze seemed to understand and said to Su, "Uncle Su, I'm full."

Qiao Ze's mind was not filled with convolutions.

He saw that Li Jian wanted a private chat with him and guessed what it would be about.

Qiao Ze thought Li might need his comfort.

Yes, Qiao Ze believed that in some matters, Uncle Li did not see as clearly as he did.

For example, rules are made for the day they are meant to be broken.

Qiao Ze's remark also made Su Lixing silently sigh in his heart.
