Chapter 340: Chapter 127: No Choice but to Double the Efforts!_4

Yes, even though Qiao Yu @mentioned everyone, he didn’t forget to @mention Yu Yongjun one more time at the end.

After all, he had said so much in the group chat, and no one had replied. It was indeed quite embarrassing.

"Boss, Gong Jiatao pulled me into another group he created, and the two of them are bad-mouthing you there. They’re saying you’re not human!"

Ah, so that’s it. Qiao Yu really couldn’t believe those two could resist not getting sarcastic.

"Oh, then why haven’t you sent the chat screenshots over yet?"

"Hold on, boss. I’ll take a screenshot right now."

Gong Jiatao was the first to speak up: "@dayu I advise you to be kind."

Yu Wei: "..."

Unfortunately, these two were clearly not as intimidating as Qiao Yu.

Soon, a long screenshot of the WeChat conversation was posted in the friend group.

After Qiao Yu read it over, he felt satisfied and quickly replied: "Tsk tsk tsk, so sour! But @Chu Buzhi, this doesn’t seem like your style, huh? You haven’t even tried hard yet and you want to give up? How can that be? Last time you said if you can’t surpass my grades, you won’t get married...are you really planning to remain single for life? So don’t give up!"

Yu Wei: "Yes, you win. I’ve already decided to remain single for life!"

Qiao Yu: "Don’t speak too soon. What if you meet a girl you like in the future?"

Yu Wei: "I only said I won’t get married, not that I can’t date. I’ll date when I like someone, and break up when I don’t, that’s it!"

Qiao Yu: "Scumbag! You don’t understand that those fleeting and empty pleasures are nothing compared to the feeling of solving a difficult math problem! A real man seeks the joy of mastering truth! Not letting hormones control the brain to chase after those superficial pleasures!"

Yu Wei: "If you take back what you said above, I can guarantee to invest in one of your projects when I reach adulthood, as long as it’s within 40 million RMB."

Completely surprised by this unexpected offer, Qiao Yu retracted the previous message on the spot and asked, "40 million RMB? You call the shots?"

Yu Wei: "After I become an adult, my dad will give me this money, and I can use it freely. He won’t interfere at all."

Obviously, Qiao Yu wasn’t the only one shocked by Yu Wei’s words.

The two who had been lurking in the chat couldn’t help but show themselves.

One sent three question marks in a row, while the other sent three exclamation marks.

But clearly, these two shameless guys were completely ignored by Qiao Yu and Yu Wei.

Qiao Yu: "Um...although this might be impolite, I still want to ask if your dad is usually true to his word?"

Yu Wei: "My oldest brother received 30 million when he became an adult, and my second brother received 36 million, so it’s just me left."

Qiao Yu: "Your dad is really fair, huh? Did he even account for inflation?"

Yu Wei: "Yeah."

Qiao Yu felt a lot of emotions, thinking that the difference between dads in the world is just too big.

He was about to ask Yu Wei why he had this sudden change in mindset when the atmosphere in the group that was finally starting to build got ruined by someone.

Yu Yongjun: "@Chu Buzhi, brother, let me ask you something, does our dad still need a son?"

Yu Wei: "..."

Gong Jiatao: "@dayu People shouldn’t! Even if you just recognize an adoptive father, I could keep quiet! @Chu Buzhi, Brother Fu, nice to meet you again, do you need a sworn brother?"

Seeing those two shameless guys being so sycophantic, Qiao Yu couldn’t be bothered to chat in the group anymore and directly opened Yu Wei’s private chat window.

"Weren’t you unwilling to bet even a hundred bucks with me before? 40 million? Are you serious?"

"Not betting with you was because losing money to you is meaningless. Sponsoring your research projects, I’d be an investor joining your group; it’s a completely different matter. Even if you’re the project leader, you still have to call me ’boss’! At least the results of this project cannot be achieved without my help!"

Yu Wei’s words deeply impressed Qiao Yu, who sincerely remarked: "I finally understand why capitalists have such a bad reputation! If the logic of wealthy descendants were as rigid as yours, how could ordinary people like me ever make money? Take my advice, don’t make life so hard for yourself, from now on, seriously consider extravagant spending as what you should be doing!"

Yu Wei: "Get lost!"

The conversation ended, as always, with "get lost."

Qiao Yu really wanted to tell Yu Wei that scoundrel not to think a few stinky bucks could show off in front of a future great mathematician. But after thinking of his own bank balance, he thought better of it.

People can’t be compared after all.

While he was pondering how to earn several paper bonuses over the next two years from school, Yu Wei’s coming-of-age gift was worth tens of millions.

Of course, it’s merely 0.4 small goals; on the internet, that’s trivial. He might even be ridiculed as a pauper.

But Qiao Yu believes it’s definitely not small change because he’s actually earned money himself.

If he were to earn using the method of providing emotional value to elder brothers at internet cafes like before, assuming each brother is willing to contribute 20,000, the studio takes half, leaving him with 10,000, he would need to serve 4,000 brothers to earn that much.

Calculating at an average of being assigned three gigs a month, which means a monthly income of 30,000, it would take him about 1,333 months to earn 40 million, needing to work for approximately 111 years.

But realistically, he can’t save that much.

After all, living for over a century isn’t easy; food, clothing, housing, medical expenses, everything costs money.

Initially, Qiao Yu planned to go out for a stroll, but after chatting with Yu Wei, he suddenly felt he couldn’t slack off.

A family that can casually give over a billion total as coming-of-age gifts for three sons must have assets starting from tens of billions.

If even a wealthy second generation works hard studying advanced mathematics and participating in the IMO, a poor kid like him has no right to slack off.

After all, unused money doesn’t disappear into thin air; even if it’s devalued in a bank, it’s still money, its value remains.

But unused talent has no value at all.

To borrow the good guy’s words, Yu Wei is merely a second-generation rich kid at most able to show off until adulthood in front of him, while he’s meant to be a first-generation rich man!

So, Qiao Yu picked up "Principles of Algebraic Geometry" that had been lying on his desk since he borrowed it from the library a long time ago.

Starting this week, he would continue sending reading insights to Director Tian and Elder Yuan.

Besides, he couldn’t focus only on Old Li’s project; he also needed to continue working on the project Director Tian assigned. At least before going to the IMO, he needed to provide Director Tian with a passable random prime number model.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yu suddenly felt a headache.

He had just thought he could relax a bit recently, but thinking about it, his tasks were actually still quite heavy!

But there’s no choice; it’s his responsibility.

Some were born in Rome, what can he do? He can only rely on hard work to one day ride on Rome’s head and flaunt it proudly.
