As Qiao Ze became busy with the arrival of his first child with Su, Xu Dajiang was also occupied with his own matters.
After learning that he might be transferred and receiving a promise from Qiao Ze, Xu Dajiang asked Li Jian Gao and Yu Chenggong to join him for a meal the next day.
Li Jian Gao, needless to say, was always easygoing.
He seemed indifferent about whether to continue as a professor or not.
His main work had already been leading a group at the institute to research Qiao's Algebraic Geometry. It was all the same to him wherever he did it.
He had long been deeply tied to Qiao Ze.
Inescapably so.
Now, when invited to conferences outside, people would introduce him directly as: "This is Qiao Ze's mentor, Li Jian Gao, a professor at the Xilin University of Technology School of Mathematics."
From this order of introduction, it was clear that the status of being a professor at Xilin University of Technology was not as significant as being Qiao Ze's mentor.
