An He was suddenly called out during class. The classroom was quiet for a moment, but became noisy after everyone left. The teacher had to call for quiet several times before order was restored.
But everyone's minds were still not on the classroom. In fact, even the teacher had a guess that An Minghe was too special in the whole class.
After hearing the legendary story of the other party skipping grades, everyone was wondering how long An Minghe could stay in high school.
He quietly followed the teacher to the principal's office.
Seeing that several elderly people in front of him were looking at him, An Minghe was not afraid. He greeted the principal and teachers obediently, and then stood aside without saying a word.
The principal smiled kindly and asked him to sit on a stool nearby. In front of An Minghe were several elderly men.
The principal introduced them with some pride, "This is An Minghe from our school."
The old man sitting opposite An Minghe tried hard to put on a kind expression, "Hello, classmate An Minghe." However, as an academic researcher who was not good at speaking, his pretending to be kind made him look a little ferocious.
An Minghe was not frightened. He could sense the kindness of the old man opposite him. "Hello, old man. I am An Minghe."
The other person smiled even more kindly. "Hello. Do you know why we called you here today?"
An Minghe shook his head silently. The chairs in the office were a bit big, and when he sat on them, his legs could only hang in the air.
The principal stood up and took the initiative to introduce An Minghe. "Minghe, these are professors and scholars from various universities, as well as admissions teachers. They are here to learn about your situation."
"Hello everyone, feel free to ask whatever you want to ask," said An Minghe.
Seeing him so unassuming wasn't surprising to the others. An elderly man with thinning hair had a gleam in his eyes and greeted Minghe gently, "Minghe, have you thought about going to university? Our National University is one of the most prestigious universities in the country. If you'd like to come, Grandpa can arrange it for you."
When he opened the gate, it was like turning on a switch. The old men who were originally gentle instantly turned into quarreling aunties in the vegetable market.
"Your National University is a famous university in China? Isn't my Peking University also a famous university?" The other party first sneered at the gentle old man, then tried to appear more amiable and said to An Minghe, "Minghe, you are still young and may not know this. Let me introduce you to the mathematics department of our Peking University, which is the best in the country. If you want to further your studies in mathematics, then our Peking University is the best choice. If you have any questions later, I can also guide you."
The others couldn't help but twitch their lips. Kyoto University's mathematics was the best in the country, so they didn't have much to say, but they heard that An Minghe already had a teacher, and this old man was still blatantly poaching him.
An Minghe blinked and said, "Is Kyoto University's mathematics really the best in the country?"
The old man nodded happily, "Of course!" He glanced at his colleagues with pride, then smiled and said to An Minghe, "Everyone here is a professor, scholar, and admissions officer from various universities. Look, does anyone dare to refute what I say?" This is the empire that these mathematicians from the University of Tokyo have conquered bit by bit.
One of the old men couldn't help but look at the smug look on the Kyoto University professor's face. "Minghe, Kyoto University's math is impressive, but other schools' math isn't bad either. Ocean University has places for international exchange programs every year, where you can interact with the world's top mathematicians. These opportunities are rare and will be very helpful for your mathematical research. If you come to Ocean University, we can offer free room and board, and tuition, plus an annual scholarship!"
An Minghe didn't have much idea about other things, but when he heard that the other party could provide free food and accommodation, and also a scholarship, he couldn't help but be tempted.
"Grandpa, free room and board means I have to live on campus, right? And how much is the scholarship?"
Seeing that An Minghe had some unusual movements, the other party was very happy and said, "You don't have to live in school. It's just that you are too young and it is convenient for you to live in school. I heard that you live with your father, right? Then you can ask your father to live with you in school." Others would definitely not even think about it, but this is a possible future leader in Chinese mathematics, and geniuses can always enjoy some special treatment.
"There is also a scholarship. As long as you stay in our school, you will be given 500,000 yuan a year. You don't have to pay any money. Just go to school and we will arrange accommodation for you immediately. You will also get 500,000 yuan a year. How about it, Xiao Minghe?" The other party said with a kind face, like a wolf grandmother who coaxed Little Red Riding Hood.
The others had originally thought of giving up. After all, no matter how talented they were, it was an indisputable fact that their mathematics department was not as good as that of Peking University. They did not expect that the professor of Ocean University could find another way.
An Minghe saw a clear sign of struggle and hesitation on the little girl's face, and the other professors struck while the iron was hot and quickly said that their own school also had scholarships.
"Minghe, if you come to our Nanjing University, you will receive a 600,000 yuan scholarship every year, including room and board!"
"Come to our City University. Not only is room and board provided, we can also arrange a bachelor apartment for you. The scholarship is still NT$600,000 per year. City University is even closer to your hometown!"
Hearing that someone had kidnapped his favorite young genius, the professor from Kyoto University was furious. "You guys, if Minghe went to your school, would you be able to teach him? What if he was delayed?"
He turned to look at the professor from Haida and angrily said, "Isn't it just a scholarship with room and board? Can't we at Jingda afford it?"
Then he turned to look at the City University professor and said, "What do you mean by close distance? Planes and trains are quite convenient these days. What does distance have to do with it?"
He scolded everyone one by one, stood up, and slowly walked over to An Minghe. "Minghe, you should go to our Peking University. Peking University is definitely one of the best universities in the country, and its mathematics department is the most powerful in the country. Only at Peking University can you fully display your talents."
"As for the scholarship, Kyoto University can also give it to you. As long as you can produce an academic paper every year, Kyoto University can reward you with 1 million." The old man is also the honorary vice president of Kyoto University. Although he does not take charge of the affairs, he still has this power.
Many teachers from the admissions office came this time, but these teachers had no say from beginning to end.
The whole process relied on these old professors to engage in verbal battles and compete with each other.
An Minghe lowered his head and touched his fingers. After thinking for a while, he looked up and said, "Grandpa." He looked at everyone and said, "Thank you, but I have to go back and tell my dad. I will go wherever my dad tells me to go."
