Tian Yanzhen told Qiao Yu to get out quickly. After Qiao Yu obediently left the office, his mind started calculating.
The benefits of giving a presentation at the mathematics conference were obvious. Qiao Yu thought it was probably because his mentor and Elder Yuan felt embarrassed that they hadn't secured the previous project, so they fought for this opportunity.
Having him present this idea in front of everyone was somewhat like asking the entire mathematics community to weigh in.
It could be understood as shouting out to the Huaxia mathematics community: "Everyone come and see, we secured a major project opportunity for Qiao Yu, do we have any ulterior motives or not!"
But this, of course, was on the premise that he hadn't submitted it to Ann.Math. From the mentor's attitude, Qiao Yu could analyze that giving a presentation at a conference was still not as useful as publishing a paper in a top journal.
