The young master stopped being a CEO and started learning how to cook

"But considering your ability, the Stanford scholarship is pretty good, right?"

"Your question is a good one, but as you heard." Xi Yujia smiled and threw away the remaining breakfast, without answering Ji Beixiao's question in detail.

"It seems that there are very few students from our school who can get into Harvard."

"Quite a few? So far, among the people I know, among my elementary school classmates, only one is expected to come to Harvard. No one else around me is going to Harvard, not even MIT." Xi Yujia said, "You are also very good. After all, few people have the opportunity to study at Stanford. Maybe Stanford feels sad that I didn't choose it, so it lets me come here every year to play." Xi Yujia smiled, as if he had said a lie.

"It's easy to make people hate you when you talk like that. I thought you came here to study." Ji Beixiao seemed to understand what Xi Yujia meant. Since she had applied to Stanford and was given a chance, it could be said that they valued her talent and gave her some opportunities to come here, whether for fun or study.

"Yes!" Xi Yujia said affirmatively: "But, what can I say? You left after studying for only two days. What about you? Have you been at Stanford all this time?"

"There's no other way. This is my best choice. I have no other place to go." Ji Beixiao smiled and looked into Xi Yujia's eyes with some tenderness.

"Then you are quite pitiful. You know, sometimes people need to see more things in order to make better discoveries." Xi Yujia may also think that Ji Beixiao is a very smart person.

"I go out to play quite often, during summer and winter vacations, and on holidays."

"That's right, I'm traveling on public funds, hey! Except for being tired, everything is good." Xi Yujia said, and then added: "Actually, these are all jokes."

"Ah? I thought you were telling the truth." Ji Beixiao was not angry either.

"Well! Actually, it was because I was directly admitted to Harvard, but I felt that Boston was too far away. You know, the feeling of flying for four or five hours each time. Then, because I said I wanted to go to business school, Stanford extended an olive branch to me, but Harvard unilaterally rejected me." Xi Yujia smiled, "It's a bit helpless to say, I have never planned so much for myself, because I knew I didn't have that much money at the beginning, but the schools I attended were all planned." What Xi Yujia didn't mention was his later postgraduate studies and his current job.

"Sometimes you really don't consider other people's lives when you speak, but I think, no matter what, you can seize such an opportunity, right?" Ji Beixiao smiled, as if to comfort her.

"Maybe!" Xi Yujia said this with a smile and then knocked on the office door of the professor who received her.

For Ji Beixiao, studying is a gilding process for him. It doesn’t matter what kind of university he can get into or what kind of process and ending he has. It’s just a process.

Xi Yujia should be considered a child of other families since he was a child! Because he knew that Xi Yujia had never spent any money from elementary school to high school, so naturally those expenses were just a drop in the bucket compared to that.

Xi Yujia gave a speech about mathematics research today. After he came on stage, Xi Yujia smiled and said, "Before standing in this position, there were only one or two of my classmates. Thank you all for coming to listen to my academic report today. As for why I came here, there was an irresistible reason that I was really just a little bit away from becoming your alumnus. Next, at the request of the school, I will talk about a research result of mine many years ago. Naturally, I also think that this is a very old research result (outdated), and I hope everyone can refer to it together."

Xi Yujia's words made the audience laugh wildly. This is Stanford! What is this person thinking?

Xi Yujia first introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Xi Yujia. I am from the Harvard University Mathematical Research Institute. My mentor is not a very important person, but as his closed disciple, I am very honored to have a fellow student like you, professor."

Everyone looked like, "Are you going to start pretending?" Everyone smiled a little. I don't know why I am sitting here and being asked to listen to a graduate student's research results from a few years ago.

"Now, let's do a very, very simple math problem, a word problem for fifth graders in my country. Are there any international students from China here?" Xi Yujia said, "I don't mean anything else, I just want you to try it." Xi Yujia put the question on the PPT.

Ji Beixiao found a seat in the first row and soon everyone solved the problem. Xi Yujia smiled and said, "I think hundreds of people here have solved this math problem. So, should I ask you the answer? No, not really. I want to ask, how many ways do you have to solve this problem? It's very interesting that the elementary school problems we learned don't have a wide range of practical applications, but they definitely involve logical thinking."

Xi Yujia felt that everyone was now interested in listening, so he continued with a smile: "Someone has given a solution, two, three, I haven't seen four. If there is, we can ask you to come up and try it. This problem has a total of thirty-seven ways to solve. Oh." Xi Yujia said "Oh" with a frown, obviously disdaining everyone's surprise!

Xi Yujia heard a loud “oh” from the audience, “We have a consensus, that is, we can use formulas to solve problems. But if we don’t know the formula, we can also deduce such a formula, but we may not know the meaning of such a formula and its solution. We cannot know it quickly, but we will also find out how to quickly make a judgment after we know the solution, that is, how to recognize the approach to a problem?”

Xi Yujia did not smile, but said in a very serious tone, "In the process of mathematical research and exploration, we will find that everyone wants to take shortcuts when they encounter a problem. Yes, take shortcuts. The process of taking shortcuts is called exploring formulas. One or more unified formulas suitable for this type of question will allow us to quickly meet our own efficiency and quickly reach the problem-solving process. Then, we have officially embarked on the research journey."

After turning the page of the PPT, Xi Yujia said, "So, let's ask a question about this problem: how do we conduct mathematical research?"

The ppt went to the next page, and Xi Yujia smiled and said: "Let us first ask ourselves a question today, that is, the necessity of research and whether we can do breakthrough research. Now let's ask a question, that is, how do we know that this can be studied? And how to start the research. The first thing I want to introduce is about..." Xi Yujia followed up the question one step further.

In Ji Beixiao's impression, Xi Yujia seemed to have always been such a person. She always had a lot to say, making some people focus their attention on her.
