Super God-Level Top Student

This Qiao Ze finally called him uncle.

This meal was worth it.

...

"Well then, Daddy, we'll head back to school now!" Outside the hotel, Su Mucheng sweetly greeted Su Lixing and was about to leave with Qiao Ze.

"Chengzi, there are no classes today since it's the weekend, and Daddy has to leave tomorrow. Don't you want to spend the day with Daddy?" Su Lixing looked at Su Mucheng with a smile.

Su Mucheng glanced at Su Lixing with suspicion and didn't say anything.

Li Jiangao chimed in, "Yeah, there's no class today. Su Mucheng, you should stay at the hotel and have a good time with Daddy. Summer vacation is still a while away."

Su Mucheng looked pitifully at Qiao Ze and mumbled, "But I have to study this afternoon, our final exams are coming up soon."

Qiao Ze seriously said, "It's okay, your laptop is in the car, you can take it to the hotel room to study, and if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me on WeChat, I'll reply when I see it."

This scene was almost too much for Su Lixing to bear.

He couldn't help but glare at Su Mucheng.

Is that the face of someone who wants to study?

Do you really think everyone else is blind?

And Qiao Ze seems to have really believed her, answering in such a serious and formal manner.

It's simply unbearable to watch.

Su Mucheng pouted and said, "Oh, then I'll call you tonight, it won't disturb you, right?"

Qiao Ze nodded, "Mhm, that works too, I can answer all your questions at once."

Unable to stand it any longer, Su Lixing coughed twice and forcefully interjected into this irritating farewell ceremony, "Ahem... Zhang, you go ahead and get Chengzi's laptop from the car and then just drop off Professor Li and Qiao Ze back at the school. Haha, Professor Li, Qiao Ze, I'm sorry for any shortcomings today.

Next time you have a chance to visit Lin Hai City, you must contact me, I'll take good care of you both."

Li Jiangao responded with a smile, "Mr. Su is too kind."

Qiao Ze looked at Su Lixing, feeling that Su Mucheng's father was somehow indescribably strange.

...

Su Mucheng, clutching her notebook, stood reluctantly outside the hotel, watching the A8 disappear at the end of the street...

"Enough, gazing after the car won't bring it back! Let's go upstairs, I need to have a serious talk with you." Su Lixing asserted his paternal authority quite strongly.

Su Mucheng turned to glare at Su Lixing and said, "We can talk about anything, but let me make it clear, you can't say anything bad about Qiao Ze."

"I..." Su Lixing's mouth twitched, but facing his most beloved daughter, he eventually held back and didn't lose his temper, "Okay, okay, my dear ancestor, your Qiao Ze is the best, happy now?"

"He is indeed the best, what do you mean 'happy now'?" Su Mucheng shot her father a glance and proudly turned away, walking ahead.

Su Lixing took a deep breath and quickly caught up to Su Mucheng, speaking placatingly, "My silly girl, don't you think that Qiao Ze comes across as quite passive? I even feel like he has little desire to communicate with the outside world and spends most of his time living in his own world. Doesn't that tire you out?"

"I know! But Daddy, have you ever seen him when he's concentrating? Do you know that when he focuses, he really shines? Have you ever met someone who can grasp the essentials after just one look at even the most difficult concepts, and then simplify complex issues and explain them clearly? Can you even understand the intelligence that resides in his eyes?"

Su Mucheng's stream of rhetorical questions left Su Lixing at a loss for words.

Yet the young girl beside him got more and more excited as she spoke.

"Daddy, whether you believe it or not, the first time I saw him, when he was making suggestions to the professors at the college, I was certain about him. You can't understand the feeling of being with him! It's truly like being enveloped in the warmth of his intelligence's glow. Does it matter that he doesn't like to express himself? Our thoughts are in sync.

Okay, I admit, I find it hard to follow his train of thought many times, but that's exactly what attracts me about him!"

"As for not wanting to communicate with the outside world, it's simply because the vast majority of people in this world simply don't deserve to communicate with him. He operates on such a high level of thought, it's so advanced that ordinary people can't understand, can that possibly be his fault?

If you still don't understand me, then please go buy a copy of 'Lie Algebra Particle Physics' by Howard George, try to comprehend its content, and then consider what it feels like for someone to read through the whole book in an afternoon and be able to offer a critique!"

The fast-paced speech and the excited tone that fell on Su Lixing's ears left the father instantly unsure what to say.

Especially since Su Lixing could see that as Su Mucheng spoke these words, her eyes were truly sparkling.

As someone who'd been through it all, he knew all too well what it meant when a woman's eyes sparkled while she spoke of another man.

With a deep sigh in his heart, he raised his hand and patted his daughter's shoulder, saying in a subdued voice, "You'll get very tired like this!"

"That's what you think; I'm not tired at all, and I'm very happy!" Su Mucheng shot back, giving Su Lixing a white look.

Having booked a suite with two rooms, Su Mucheng took his laptop and ran into her room, without any intention of continuing the conversation with Su Lixing. Su Lixing sat down on the sofa in the small living room, took a deep breath, and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Zhang, when you come back, find a bookstore for me and buy a copy of 'Lie Algebra Particle Physics,' authored by Howard George."

There was no other choice, he decided to first immerse himself in this feeling before he could communicate with his child!

Being a father is tough!

...

In the office of the Science Building.

Li Jiangao pulled up an email from 'Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications' on his computer.

The paper wasn't directly rejected, but the editor had sent over comments from two reviewers.

In short, if the paper was to be published in 'Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications,' it needed to address these reviewers' comments with a response and revisions of the paper.

After carefully reading the reviewers' comments, Qiao Ze chuckled, then tilted his head to look at Li Jiangao and asked with slight confusion, "Are the reviewers for this journal idiots?"

Li Jiangao helplessly shook his head and replied, "Remember when you talked about solving the quality gap hypothesis? I told you before... Maybe they're not idiots, they just think we're easy to bully."

"Oh!" Qiao Ze nodded, then asked, "Can I reply directly?"

Li Jiangao was somewhat surprised; he'd expected Qiao Ze to be angry or dismayed, but he had not anticipated this calm inquiry. After all, Li Jiangao had been thinking about how to console the young man before him, to tell him how to adjust his mentality, and how to deal with it.

"Of course, you can, it's your paper after all. However, I suggest..."

Li Jian Gao closed his mouth.

Because as soon as he had acknowledged that Qiao Ze could reply, Qiao Ze had already begun to type a response on the keyboard.

"'Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications' Editorial Department: I regret your academic cultivation and the choice of your reviewers. I will request the withdrawal of my paper shortly, please expedite its acceptance. Also, please forward the following text to the two reviewers who have suggested revisions."

"To the reviewers of 'A Mathematical Framework for Self Supervised Learning Based on Group Theory': Unprofessional review comments have already exposed your folly! Although my teacher always hopes I would understand and follow the rules here, after understanding them, I don't see these rules as absolute."

"Double-blind peer review doesn't hide you all; the limitations of the paper define a very small scope. I will persist in my way to make you reconsider the unprofessional review comments you provided today. I even feel this is significant because my mentor always lacks confidence, and through this event, I hope he can have more confidence in himself."

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"Qiao Ze."

Li Jiangao watched, dumbfounded, as Qiao Ze swiftly finished typing the letter and hit the send button...

He didn't even have time to speak up to stop him.

At this point, Qiao Ze was already turning around, speaking calmly to Li Jian Gao, "Uncle Li, actually, after you told me those things that day, I specifically looked through many cases. And I'm very certain that compromise won't solve any problems. It's just a paper, so don't be disheartened. At most, we'll just have to carry out the project directly."

Li Jian Gao: "?"

So is this kid comforting me?!

Isn't that backward?!
