Chapter 346: None of It
After a quick meal, the second round of interviews began. There was another round of interviews in the afternoon, this time for doctoral students! Wu Tong only planned to recruit one doctoral student, and he also wanted to see if the doctoral student had sufficient hands-on skills and talent potential.
The doctoral students who were selected for their group interview must have been selected from the best of the best. It was not too difficult for Wu Tong to choose the doctoral student she wanted to decide on, He Mingquan, who had previously studied for his undergraduate and master's degrees in the Department of Mathematics at Jinan University and was also the third place in this doctoral recruitment.
Wu Tong could tell from his research that he had a solid theoretical foundation. He might not be the kind of gifted student who would make a big splash overnight, but from his words and deeds, Wu Tong could sense his hard work, his love and determination for mathematics, and his stable mentality.
Perhaps such a student may not be able to achieve great results in a short period of time, but Wu Tong believes that as long as he perseveres, he will achieve outstanding results sooner or later.
As for Wu Tong, neither the first-ranked interviewee nor the second-ranked interviewee with outstanding performance was selected. Instead, only the third-ranked interviewee whose performance could be said to be mediocre was selected. In fact, the professors present were all a little puzzled.
"Wu Tong, you really don't have to deliberately not choose the best talent just to accommodate us. You are the most outstanding scholar and the best student in our Peking University. It is a real win-win situation for both sides to have you guide us!" Professor Wen, who has met Wu Tong many times and is in the same class as Wu Tong and won the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, could not help but speak frankly.
They are all old guys, and seeing the flourishing development of Peking University's School of Mathematics and the domestic mathematics community is what they truly want. They really don't need Wu Tong to accommodate them.
"Professor Wen, don't worry. I'm really not trying to make concessions. The third candidate, He Mingquan, is more to my liking. I value his steadiness and want to give him a better platform!" There is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, and there is no shortage of mentors' attentive guidance. On the contrary, for people like He Mingquan, if they really don't meet a mentor who can recognize a gem, it is very likely that they will waste their entire lives in vain.
Wu Tong didn't know if she was the mentor who had a keen eye for talent, but she thought that she would do her best to fulfill her responsibilities as a mentor, hoping to help him make further progress in mathematical research.
"Okay, Wu Tong is straightforward, so let's not waste time and decide on the candidates we both value as soon as possible. Let's make a decision first, and don't compete recklessly!" Pan Wenhua made the final decision. He believed that Wu Tong had his own thoughts. Since Wu Tong had made his choice, they just needed to support him.
The last sentence was said by Pan Wenhua to other professors. It was not a request, but a joke. Before, there were two professors who exposed each other's shortcomings for a good student, and caused a lot of ridiculous things.
"Okay, don't worry, Dean Pan, we will take it easy and won't let our School of Mathematics become a laughing stock!" Everyone wants a good seedling. As for if two or three people are interested in the same student, they can compare them privately. The winner wins and the loser retreats. No one should be dissatisfied with each other.
We are all getting old, and if we continue to make fun of ourselves, how can we save our dignity? Some people don’t care about their dignity, they still want to save some dignity for themselves!
The interview for recruiting students was quickly completed. In fact, there should be other interviews, but Wu Tong had already successfully achieved her initial expectations, so she would not participate in the subsequent interviews. She just had to wait for the security department to complete the background check on the three students she had chosen. After there were no problems, they would send them a confirmation letter and arrange a time for them to report and study.
Wu Tong prepared the correspondence, and An Wenshu would help her deal with the rest. After the interview, it was still early, so Wu Tong did not go back to the institute, but went home directly. Her next step was to go to the Second Academy of Aeronautics and Astronautics to build the final DF-17 missile and supervise the development of the new scramjet engine, which she could not do at the Beijing University Interdisciplinary Research Institute.
Therefore, Wu Tong had to go on a business trip for a while. Before going on a business trip, Wu Tong still wanted to get together with his family. When he got home, Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu had not yet finished work, so naturally they had not returned yet.
Wu Tong went downstairs first to visit his grandma and grandpa. Jin Yongqing was working with his grandma on making a sweet soup. He had not studied this before, and started with the more common salty soup. Now that he felt his skills had improved, he began to challenge higher levels. Tongtong in his family is a sweet-toothed girl.
"Hey, Tongtong, why are you back so early today?" Wu Tong knocked on the door, and Jin Yongqing couldn't help but smile when he opened the door. It's been a long time since I saw Tongtong come back so early, and he has been in a hurry recently. Knowing that Tongtong is busy with work, he still insists on visiting them when he has time, and they are already quite satisfied.
He chose this time to research sweet soup in the hope that he could make some soup that is more palatable and fresher for Tongtong, to nourish her and help her regain her energy, so that she can be more confident in facing the research.
"Grandpa, grandma, I finished my work early today, so I came to talk to you first!" Wu Tong walked forward with a smile, took his grandpa's hand, and entered the house.
"Xiao Dan, Xiao Cai, you two are here to bring Tongtong up today, come in, I just cooked some sweet soup, you guys want to try it?" The four people who followed Wu Tong were all very familiar with the family, seeing each other almost every day, and the Wu family and their husband and wife also treated them as their own children and nephews, and when they saw the two people two steps behind Wu Tong, they couldn't help but greeted them familiarly.
Although these people did not accept every invitation, their enthusiasm was their heartfelt wishes, and they would not stop inviting them again just because they were rejected once. As long as it did not violate their discipline, they wanted to treat them better. First, they had been together for a long time and they were all hospitable people. Second, they hoped that their enthusiasm would make them take better care of their Tongtong.
The family's earnest care is evident in every little detail.
"No, Mr. Jin, we have other plans, so we won't go in today!" Cai Yi smiled and waved his hand. They had to prepare for Mr. Wu's travel arrangements tomorrow, make detailed and clear plans, and be fully prepared. As Mr. Wu is now facing a wider and wider situation, even if the investigation and confidentiality work is done well, they must be vigilant against the possibility of leaks in the foolproof situation.
Especially when traveling, you must be fully prepared. This is necessary and you cannot be lax at all. Mr. Wu’s safety cannot be neglected at all!
If they are careless in the slightest, it would be tantamount to committing a crime! Mr. Wu is very important and the matter is of great importance!
