At least one thing Tian Yanzhen said was right: regardless of how people felt about his results, Qiao Yu, this sixteen-year-old boy, had become the star of this seminar.
Even in the lecture the next morning, some professors felt quite regretful about his absence, like Professor Everton.
When he attended Professor Phelps's lecture in the afternoon, he was surrounded in a physical sense, as many people wanted to discuss the ideas he had expressed the day before.
Before the lecture began, Professor Phelps even invited him to stand on the podium and take a photo with him. This briefly caused dissatisfaction from Professor Everton, until he also stood on the podium to take a photo with Qiao Yu, after which the lecture officially began.
Qiao Yu listened more attentively as well.
In fact, he had no choice but to be attentive, as the professors on stage occasionally directed their gaze at him. Well, this was something Director Tian specifically emphasized, as a basic form of respect.
