"The international students at the school went on strike today? What happened?"
After bidding farewell to Su Mucheng, He Dushang, who was extremely sensitive to news events, asked Xu Dajiang.
Xu Dajiang looked depressed.
Su Mucheng was good at everything, but she spoke too unscrupulously.
Can we just talk about things that require covering up?
"Haha, Dean Xu, actually I don't have any other ideas. There are too many short videos and essays these days. Even if the school handles it decisively, who knows if someone will post it online and trigger some controversy? I know the reason. Okay, maybe I can be of some help later."
Understanding Xu Dajiang's depression, He Duchang said with a smile.
This is also considered double insurance.
He expressed his goodwill. If Su Mucheng failed to ask Qiao Ze out, the dean would probably have to help him find a way.
After all, he now represents Renren Daily, and he is often able to characterize such insignificant public opinions.
"Hey, this matter has to start with our School of Mathematics..." Xu Dajiang sighed, probably moved by the sincerity of He Solo, so he simply told the truth.
…
After rejecting the school's warm invitation and having a casual meal with Xu Dajiang, He Duchang probably understood the reason for this incident.
Of course, if he really wanted to know the whole story, he would have to go to the International College to ask about the situation.
But He Duchang obviously didn't have that interest, and he believed 80% of Xu Dajiang's words.
Some public information can be found. For example, when colleges provide subsidies for graduate students, there will be news on the official websites of each college. Two-phase confirmation is enough.
Not to mention that He Duo Chang knew that international students were given preferential treatment in various schools.
In terms of larger decisions, through a series of early subsidies and discounts, we will attract a large number of international students to study in China. While improving the ranking of universities, it will also increase the influence of Huaxia University, thus attracting more international students to come to China.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to learn from the Western practices.
First use high-quality and low-priced education to attract talents, and then start raising prices when there is no shortage of students, and at the same time retain talents.
But to be honest, the current situation in many colleges and universities feels that He Duo is overkill.
When international public opinion does not dominate, it is actually difficult to see benefits from this propaganda model in the short term, and whether those in the West will give China enough time to complete its layout is a question.
Of course, this book is not about congratulating the soloist. He only needs to have a general understanding.
But what surprised him was that the international students' strike could also be related to Qiao Ze.
This is even more interesting.
It also made He Dushang look forward to meeting Qiao Ze even more.
…
After resting for an hour after dinner, He Duchan finally met Qiao Ze.
In fact, many profiles of Qiao Ze have been made in his mind, such as being taciturn, sharp-eyed, extreme-thinking, arrogant, etc.
If Su Mucheng knew that her introduction would leave such an impression on He Duchang on Qiao Ze, he probably would not have met Qiao Ze so smoothly.
After all, these impressions were completely different from Su Mucheng's feelings.
Today I went out for a walk an hour earlier than usual, which was Su Mucheng's suggestion.
But after meeting Qiao Ze, He Duchan finally understood why Qiao Ze made people have such contradictory evaluations.
For example, in He Solo's thoughts, Qiao Ze must be full of arrogance.
Because the words and perceptions he said do give people this feeling.
But after actually contacting Qiao Ze, he really didn't feel how arrogant Qiao Ze was. It's true that he is reticent in front of strangers, and it doesn't make any difference just because he is a reporter from Renren Daily.
The feeling of singing solo for He was that although Qiao Ze seemed to be walking beside him, his soul was not here at all.
The answers to his questions were indeed extremely concise.
"Um."
"No."
"yes."
"have not thought."
"right."
"Sure."
"Then find a way."
"have no idea."
…
How to describe these answers? They can only be described in concise and concise words.
The longest answer is no more than five words!
Really, for the first time, when he wanted to interview someone exclusively, he said more than the interviewee.
This is indeed an embarrassing thing.
For different reporters, facing this kind of interviewer may have completely different feelings.
Some people may feel that this article is completely impossible to write, but others may feel that there is too much room for reporters to play.
Because Qiao Ze would express his attitude on some issues, but he didn't bother to give any explanation at all. Why he thinks so is a matter of opinion.
Because of this, He Duochan was quite satisfied with the arrangements of the School of Mathematics.
It was his meeting with Su Mucheng in the afternoon that gave him his initial impression of Qiao Ze, and then meeting him in person gave him many ideas.
If he were asked to meet Qiao Ze directly, he probably wouldn't be able to stand this kind of communication mode.
The feeling of not being able to get the other person to say a few more words despite trying every possible means is indeed too bad for a serious reporter. And it's easy to offend people.
I walked around the campus for more than ninety minutes.
When the two of them were about to leave at the end, after asking for Qiao Ze's consent - which was actually the consent under Su Mucheng's persuasion - He Duchang took out his cell phone and took a photo of Qiao Ze.
But Qiao Ze didn't like to face the camera head-on, so he had no choice but to take a profile photo of Qiao Ze under the street lights on campus.
Although the light from the street lamp was a little dim, after the exposure was activated, the photo was still very clear, clearly outlining Qiao Ze's profile.
Don't tell me, he's still pretty handsome.
Especially the young man's eyes were cast into the deep darkness ahead, which made He Duchang feel that the photo was quite artistic.
…
Originally, He Duchang planned to take the high-speed train back to the capital early the next morning.
Unfortunately, the school is still too enthusiastic.
Stayed for lunch.
By the way, I would like to express my gratitude to the School of Mathematics.
Then he left without looking back.
For Xu Dajiang, he has passed another level.
At least I don't need to work in the library until I retire.
It’s not that I dislike working in the library. In fact, it’s quite relaxing.
But for Xu Dajiang, his current career can be said to have just begun, and he will never be able to endure the situation where people are transferred halfway through his career.
Not to mention whether someone else in the school can build a good relationship with Qiao Ze is still a matter of two people.
After sending the He Solo, Xu Dajiang talked to Principal Chen about He Solo's previous statement, which gave Chen Yuanzhi more confidence to promote the subsidy reform of the International Students College.
Although when they are in their position, they don't believe too much in those verbal promises. But Chen Yuanzhi feels that these arrangements for schools are reasonable.
Moreover, this is a good opportunity, which will not only alleviate the grievances of other graduate students, but also create divisions within the international students.
Students who participated in the strike will retain their student status but be punished. By taking this opportunity to promote the overall reduction of international student subsidies, at least some of the backlash and complaints can be pushed to those students who caused trouble. And psychologically speaking, there is happiness when there is comparison.
The vast majority of international students can retain at least half of their welfare benefits.
Those students who participated in the strike had all their benefits cut, and some were even expelled from school and deported directly. The sunk cost of continuing to cause trouble is there.
As for whether it will be easy to recruit international students next year, that is not something Chen Yuanzhi should consider.
Although he despised Xu Dajiang's various behaviors, Chen Yuanzhi really didn't mind using the mathematics academy to play the catfish effect.
Look for yourselves, the School of Mathematics has cut off all subsidies for international students, and can complete the tasks planned every year, while other colleges still retain at least half of the benefits, and there is no reason to stretch the crotch. As for whether the colleges below will look at the School of Mathematics in a different light, that is also not a question that Chen Yuanzhi needs to consider.
Not to mention that he still left a way out.
After all, the penalty period is tentatively set for one year. If it does have an impact on enrollment next year, it can be slightly modified. If it doesn't matter at all...there's always a way to save the money.
Of course, Chen Yuanzhi would never have done this two years ago.
But the international environment in recent years has been there, and another university has taken the lead in the past, which made Chen Yuanzhi bolder.
So after the office meeting the next day, Chen Yuanzhi really pushed for this resolution despite the opposition of many people. On the same day, the resolution was officially issued to the college as a unit, and all international students were notified directly through the International College system.
The good news is that there really wasn't any trouble, and it was even better than expected.
Although many international students still went to the International Affairs Bureau to consult and protest, the overall situation was still under control.
In fact, when the resolution was implemented at the office meeting, Chen Yuanzhi was already prepared to face the pressure of 5% of international students voluntarily dropping out of school, but the actual situation was far beyond the expectations of all those who opposed this policy at the time.
In the end, only two international students chose to drop out of school, and only one-fifteenth of those were directly persuaded to drop out by the School of Mathematics.
After a follow-up review, everyone discovered that this was actually thanks to Qiao Ze, and even the dean of the Princeton School of Mathematics.
After all, the cover of the paper is still hanging on the official website of "Annual Review of Mathematics" at this time, showing not only the title of the paper and Qiao Ze's name, but also the name of the unit.
The School of Mathematics is, after all, the School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology.
This also directly led to the school's reputation gradually gaining some influence internationally.
This has something to do with the thinking patterns of many people.
Seeing that a not-so-famous school is so valued, I naturally looked for the profile of Xilin University of Technology.
When you find out that the Department of Mathematics is not even the dominant subject of this school, you will be somewhat confused.
A non-advantage subject can recruit students of this level, so the value of diplomas from other advantage subjects cannot be worse than that of the School of Mathematics, right?
This also made Chen Yuanzhi more confident, and even experienced a hint of Xu Dajiang's happiness in the dead of night.
Of course, Chen Yuanzhi is not as unmotivated as Xu Dajiang.
But this was his chance.
If Xilin University of Technology can develop better in his hands, then at least the places he can strive for in the next step will not be worse.
In fact, it's not just Chen Yuanzhi, many people have already seen the opportunity.
After all, Qiao Ze is not just the Qiao Ze of the Mathematics Academy, but the Qiao Ze of the school, right?
…
September passed amid various accidents at school.
October is coming.
The first to bear the brunt is the eight-day long holiday starting from the end of September.
Of course this kind of vacation is for happy undergraduates.
The vast majority of graduate students with research tasks do not enjoy this benefit.
No laboratory can bear the loss of no one for seven days. If it can bear it, it means that there is no need for this laboratory to exist.
Not to mention that you have to consider graduation if you want to take a vacation.
Do you have enough data for the topic?
How many papers have you published?
Have you met the graduation requirements?
No way, this is labor pain.
As there are more and more graduate students, the workload will naturally become more severe.
Going on vacation twice a year is something you can only consider after you become successful.
If we look at it from a broad perspective, we can only say that every era has its own responsibilities.
After enjoying the relatively abundant supplies in modern times, we have to bear the pressure brought by the kings.
The same is true in the laboratory building.
Have a holiday?
nonexistent!
It’s not just Qiao Ze’s research team.
The engineers in the lithography machine project team of the entire building also did not take a day off.
Not to mention National Day, weekends also take turns to rest. Basically, the building is always manned around the clock.
No way, hundreds of people may sound like a lot, but they have thousands of spare parts to design.
This in turn involves countless complex calculation processes.
At the same time, data from other laboratories must be connected to determine the final design plan.
Not only is the project volume extremely large, but it also requires time.
In this kind of systematic large-scale project, various plans are linked one after another.
If one part design delays the progress, it may cause the entire project to be delayed.
Everyone can only choose to work day and night.
But then again, ordinary engineers really don't have the qualifications to enter this building.
Not only must various assessments be conducted, but extremely stringent political review conditions must be met.
The most important thing is that if this project can really be completed, it will have great significance.
It's so big that all the engineers involved in the design can probably get medals, so everyone is naturally very motivated.
Specifically, Qiao Ze’s research group.
Naturally, there is no rest.
Needless to say, Tan Jingrong, as a bridge of communication, still needs to stay on call.
There was no way, after all, the engineers at Youwei Group didn't have any holidays, so he naturally had to stay online at all times.
In addition, the thesis has been sent out, and Tan Jingrong plans to start preparing for his graduation thesis while the iron is hot. It can be said that he is very busy.
As for Hannah, she has no awareness of the National Day holiday.
The only one who is depressed is probably Liu Chenfeng.
Although he is not that eager for the National Day holiday, he still hopes to have two days off.
It's just that everyone else is like a perpetual motion machine, and he is too embarrassed to lose track.
Fortunately, there is good news on this National Day.
At the end of the festival, the paper Qiao Ze submitted to the "Annals of Mathematics" was finally officially published.
The editorial department was very considerate and sent me five sample copies of the issue.
This is a great benefit.
After all, under normal circumstances, foreign journals will not specifically mail sample issues if the author does not take the initiative to apply.
The moment I saw my name as a co-author.
It's all worth it!
