Super God-Level Top Student
Chapter 856 - 322: Su Should Have a Medal

Dou Dou's project proposal wasn't exactly a secret; come to think of it, after all, it was a civilian project that truly didn't require confidentiality.

So the task released last night spread rapidly within the school by the next day.

The key point is that this distributed wireless charging cluster system, implemented alongside the road without detection, wasn't announced in advance to anyone, nor had there been any formal applications for project initiation and funding allocation with the superior departments. It can be understood as a mission self-initiated by the Mathematics Research Institute.

Thus, the school leaders who received calls early in the morning, after a brief moment of confusion, became incredibly anxious.

Especially Chen Yuanzhi.

As the president of Xilin University of Technology, his biggest regret during his tenure was that he was completely unaware when Li Jian Gao proposed the Group Wisdom project to the school. The university did not invest in it, leading to subsequent impacts that are better left unmentioned.

But this time...

...

"What? A distributed wireless charging cluster system alongside the road without detection? For charging electric vehicles?"

"Not just electric cars... here, I'll send you a screenshot of the task system, you'll understand once you see it. I am simply wondering if the school is involved in this project, nothing more. But since you haven't heard of it, I assume you don't know."

"Right, I really don't know, I'll have a look first."

Before he could rush to the lab, Chen Yuanzhi, who just got up early in the morning, dashed into his study and opened his email to check the project details.

He then immediately grabbed his phone and called Xu Dajiang, confronting him as soon as the call was connected: "Xu, what's going on with the Mathematics Research Institute? Do you know about that distributed wireless charging cluster system along the road without detection?"

From Chen Yuanzhi's perspective, the more he looked at Xu Dajiang, the more uncomfortable he felt.

He could understand Xu Dajiang's thoughts on building the School of Mathematics—it was simply the desire to be remembered after a hundred years.

Life is but a brief few decades long. Once reaching a certain level, who wouldn't hope that a hundred years later, more people would remember one for a while, cherishing one's goodwill?

But this guy, Xu Dajiang, his pace was clearly mismatched with the school's!

He always just thought about reaping benefits for his little plot of land, but never considered notifying them about any issues at Qiao Ze's end.

Only discussing the gains, not the contributions—this was indeed too much.

This was also the reason why Chen Yuanzhi really didn't bother with Xu. Naturally, his tone on the call wasn't going to be pleasant.

"Oh, about this matter, I just found out when I woke up too."

"You just found out? Such a big project and not a whisper of it beforehand? Do you think I'd believe that? How are you fulfilling your role as the dean of the School of Mathematics?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I just got to know too! Rumors? That was a task autonomously published by artificial intelligence; where am I supposed to hear any rumors from? However, if you're talking about rumors, there are some—I just learned about them this morning too, that last night Qiao Ze took Su to the hospital for a check-up, and it turns out Su is pregnant."

"Su is pregnant? What do you mean?" Chen Yuanzhi asked in astonishment.

"I mean it exactly as it sounds! Pregnant. Anyway, the information I got is just that last night Professor Qiao took Su to the affiliate hospital for a check-up and that very night Dou Dou released this task. That's as much as I know. Speaking of which, Chen, my head is still spinning! Got woken up by calls at six in the morning and haven't snapped out of it yet."

"This, this, this..." Chen Yuanzhi was momentarily at a loss for words, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information. For an old-school principal, it was difficult to straighten out the logic at first glance.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first, I'm in a bit of chaos here. Been bombarded with calls all morning, everyone's asking questions, and you know that recently several companies made directed donations to our School of Mathematics, I have to talk to them more, right?"

"Hold on, that matter... regarding Su's pregnancy, how does the School of Mathematics plan to handle it?"

"Handle it? C'mon, 'handle' sounds so harsh, don't you mean how do we plan to arrange it? Look, I've been busy since I got up, how to arrange it has yet to be discussed at the Mathematics Research Institute with Professor Qiao to make a decision. We'll see if Professor Qiao decides to let Su take a leave of absence or what."

"Hmm, you're right, this matter truly requires Professor Qiao's opinion to be respected. So, when will you go to the Mathematics Research Institute? I'll join you."

"Why would you join in? Once I've discussed it with Professor Qiao, I just need to inform the school. Besides, though Su's contribution is indeed significant, it's not something to publicize widely, right? I think an internal commendation would suffice."

"Xu Dajiang, stop beating around the bush. Don't you really understand why I'm going? We have to settle what exactly this project is, is it the Mathematics Research Institute's project or what? We can't always rely on Professor Qiao to dip into his own pocket to fund the project, can we?"

"Ah... there you go, always with far-reaching wisdom. I'm honestly not that big-picture, getting busy and forgetting about these things in such situations. Well, I need to return a few more calls. Shall we meet at nine?"

"Good! Let's meet on the east end of the road by the Mathematics Research Institute." After a brief response, Chen Yuanzhi hung up.

He could certainly detect the sarcastic tone in Xu Dajiang's seemingly sincere voice, but he really couldn't be bothered to bicker with Xu any longer.
