Starting from you are my glory

"Hey, I didn't expect to ask about a future junior brother." Guan Zai smiled and said to Academician Zhang in the first row of the audience: "Teacher, I can't answer this question. How about you come?"

"It's so cool. A high school student wants to be an academician!"

"You are young. It is normal to be young and energetic."

"We are not much older than him. Have you ever thought about finding an academician as a teacher?"

"Me?! Forget it. At my level, I would like to thank my supervisor at the end of the paper. He will call me. Please don't ruin his reputation!"

"Do you know him?" Academician Zhang stood up and walked to the stage, and asked in a low voice as he took the microphone from Guan Zai.

"I met him this morning. He's a very interesting young man."

"Then why don't you take it with you!" Academician Zhang looked at Guan Zai who was looking at the sky angrily, "You have such a weak temper, don't you know how to share the burden for me?!"

"This is Mr. Tu." After all, this was a lecture, and Academician Zhang couldn't waste his time complaining about his own students. He could only say to Yu Tu: "It's quite difficult to become my student."

"If nothing else, you must first become a bachelor's degree graduate of Tsinghua University's aerospace major, and then after passing the postgraduate entrance examination, you must rank first or second in each category."

"Is there anything else?" Yu Tu knew that this was just a basic stepping stone. When it came time to apply for Academician Zhang's studentship, these were just the most basic.

"In other words." Academician Zhang pointed to his gray hair, "I am not young anymore. Maybe by the time you take the postgraduate entrance examination, I will no longer teach graduate students. In recent years, I have taught projects, and most of them are doctoral students. Well, if I really want to do that, I can only say sorry."

"But I'm not a bad student." Academician Zhang patted him on the shoulder with a stunned look on his face, "I did my undergraduate and master's degrees at Tsinghua University, and I'm currently studying for a Ph.D. in the United States. Do you want to consider it?"

"Teacher Guan will only become my senior brother." Yu Tu's firm answer stunned Academician Zhang on the stage, and then said with a smile: "If you are ambitious, I hope you can get good results in the college entrance examination, and I also hope that I can get good results in the college entrance examination." I’ll see your name on the postgraduate application list next year.”

"I will!"

"What a great guy! If I hadn't been there, would you and I be a high school student? I could slap your face with the sole of my shoe!"

"Tsk, tsk, I feel like I have witnessed the rise of a big shot. There should be a video of this lecture, right? Maybe this video will be on TV in more than ten years!"

"I feel very sorry for you!"

After Academician Zhang finished speaking, he nodded towards Yu Tu, then handed the microphone to Guan Zai, stepped down from the stage and returned to his seat.

"How's it going?" Just when Yu Tu was about to hand the microphone to Teacher Li, Guan Zai on the stage spoke.

"Do you want to consider me? I haven't taught a graduate student yet. If you really come here, you will be my top disciple."

"The seniority is in chaos." Yu Tu raised his eyebrows, "Just wait to be my senior brother!"

"Hey, you have personality." Guan Zai nodded, no longer struggling, and after a few concluding remarks, he announced the end of the lecture.

"Come on, handsome boy!" Yu Tu was just about to get up and leave when he received the eager concern of the people around him.

"I hope you can achieve your goal!"

"Looking good at you!"

"Where there's a will, there's a way! Come on!"

"Handsome, how old are you? What's your cell phone number?"

Wait a minute, someone different from others will come in here.

Yu Tu hurriedly grabbed his schoolbag and ran outside the venue, leaving behind bursts of laughter.

"You are so bold!" After waiting for a while, Teacher Li hurried out of the venue and said when he saw Yu Tu: "I wasn't worried at all when you took the microphone."

"I almost lost my courage after what you said!"

"Senior is worried." Yu Tu smiled without explaining too much.

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner." Teacher Li didn't hesitate. The lecture was over, what else could happen?

"Junior, let me tell you, our roast duck and duck blood fans at NTU are the best!"

As he spoke, Teacher Li swallowed involuntarily, "I promise you will never forget it after eating it!"

"Then I have to try it!"

"Yu Tu!" As soon as he followed Teacher Li into the dining hall, a person next to him called Yu Tu's name and stretched out his hand to pull him.

"Teacher Guan?!" Yu Tu turned around and saw Guan Zai, and asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"

"Teacher Li." Guan Zai greeted Teacher Li, then patted Yu Tu on the shoulder and said, "Why are you still angry? Didn't you just want to be my junior brother?"

"You haven't become one yet." Yu Tu said with helpless hands, "In a few years I will apply to be a graduate student of Academician Zhang. Senior brother, please help me."

"Hey, you kid!" Guan Zai smiled and nodded at Yu Tu.

"Let's find a place to sit down and chat while we eat."

"Huh? Don't you want Teacher Guan to follow?" Teacher Li didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.

"I ran out." Guan Zai said as he glanced back, "That occasion didn't suit me. I didn't have enough to eat and had to drink, so I ran out."

"Okay, I just said that I want to take Yu Tu to eat NTU delicacies. Teacher Guan, please come with us." Teacher Li smiled and extended the invitation.

"You must not miss it!" Guan Zai said righteously: "Take me there quickly!"

Five minutes later, Yu Tu and the three of them sat at a table of four by the window on the second floor of the cafeteria with a bowl of duck blood and vermicelli soup. There were also stacks of chopped roast duck and a few sesame seed cakes placed on the table.

After a busy morning, everyone who was listening and talking was hungry. Without politeness, they drank half a bowl of duck blood vermicelli first. The three of them had something in their stomachs, so they slowed down and started chatting while eating.

"Didn't you participate in any competitions in high school?" Guan Zai took a bite of the roast duck, and the taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue. He couldn't help but stuff the rest into his mouth, and asked inarticulately: "I don't seem to have participated this year. I saw your name on some competition."

People like Guan Zai are top students in high school. Not to mention the national competition, they have even made it to the final six-man national team, so they have developed the habit of subconsciously paying attention to the competition list.

"I participated last year and won the first prize in the provincial mathematics competition." Yu Tu picked up a piece of sesame seed cake and put it into a bowl, letting the crispy sesame seed cake soak up the soup, which makes it more flavorful in the mouth.

"last year?"

"last year?!"

The same two words were spoken by Guan Zai and Teacher Li, but they expressed completely different meanings.

Guan Zai was thinking about last year's list of winners. Since he was the first in the province, he might have participated in the CMO later, and he should not have been able to join the training team, so he had no impression.

Teacher Li was surprised, "Last year! You participated in the competition as a freshman in high school and got the first provincial grade!!!"

"Ouch!" Guan Zai also reacted now, "Can you participate as a freshman in high school?"

"Well, my head teacher has the right to recommend, so I didn't take part in the preliminary test and went directly to the main competition." While the two of them were talking to him, Yu Tu ate a few more pieces of roast duck. Don't tell me, this roast duck is real. It's delicious, especially the roast duck skin, which is worth savoring.

"Wait a minute, you are a freshly graduated high school student." Teacher Li put down his chopsticks and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue. "If I remember correctly, the math competition starts in November."

"Well, November."

"You entered the first year of high school in September, and you participated in the main competition in November and directly won the first place in the province." Teacher Li's eyes flashed with complicated emotions. After all, he is also a counselor at NTU. It will definitely not work if his grades are not good, but It's just excellent. Compared with this junior high school student, the gap is too big and it's completely incomparable.
