Chapter 238 The price of fate
In fact, before today, Frank was in a good mood.
Since he had a plan that day, the haze that had been hidden in his heart had been wiped out.
What I think about every day is how to find a suitable reason to visit Yanbei University in Huaxia, and then meet Qiao Xi first.
He has learned through his own channels that Qiao Xi has not yet been married. This gives you a lot of room for operation, and maybe Qiao Xi even has an old relationship with him.
Frank thinks he is very good at grasping women's minds. As long as Qiao Xi comes forward to speak for him and let Qiao Yu recognize his father, his future will be stable.
The first half of my life depends on my parents, and the middle part depends on my wife and son, and I will definitely win in life.
Who could have thought that this kind of change suddenly happened just after he had planned everything.
No one likes this emergencies, especially Frank also vaguely feels that Qiao Yu's decision may have something to do with him.
Otherwise, I can't think of the truth at all.
Including his colleagues, they couldn't understand why Qiao Yu suddenly couldn't get along with Berkeley, and felt indignant, which directly made Frank panic.
If Qiao Yu really suddenly attacked Berkeley because of his reasons, it means that he not only couldn't stay at Berkeley, but he might also be targeted after going to China at this time.
Just as Frank's mind was blank and his thoughts were mixed, the phone suddenly rang.
Frank took out his cell phone and looked at it, and suddenly felt that he was even worse because the phone was called by Lucas Eisen.
He certainly knew that Lucas Eisen was a member of the board of directors of the University of California System. At this time, the board of directors should be busy, but he still called him specifically.
This made Frank very nervous.
The reason why big bosses can become big bosses is mostly because they are extremely meticulous. He had a few limited contacts with Qiao Yu, and Lucas Eisen was all right next to him.
Frank wasn't sure if Lucas saw something or guessed something.
Especially when he was in a state of confusion, he was determined not to answer the phone, but this time Lucas was obviously very patient.
The phone kept ringing, and even after the first time came, the other person immediately dialed a second person.
Finally, Frank finally realized that he could not escape the call. He took two deep breaths and calmed down, and then answered the call.
"Hey..."
"Why don't you answer the phone?"
Before Frank finished speaking, Lucas Eisen came from the receiver. The joyful voice even had a hint of reprimand.
I didn't think so before, but at this time Frank just felt that he had enough of this old man with a strong desire to control.
He is already a professor in his thirties, and he will scold him even if he answers the phone slowly. It is simply unreasonable.
But when he opened his mouth, Frank still suppressed his anger and explained: "I was in the next office just now, and I didn't take my phone on the desk. I only came here when I heard the sound."
There is no choice. He is still under someone else's roof, but Frank has already sweared in his heart that as long as he becomes rich, he must let this old man know what it means to be humiliated when he is middle-aged!
"Oh, what are you doing in the next office at this time?"
"I heard a news today and everyone was talking about it, so I also went to chat for a few words."
" >
"Is that news about Qiao Yu?" "Yes. No one can understand why Qiao Yu suddenly attacked Berkeley. We don't think anyone in the school has offended him."
"What about you? Frank. We all know that if someone at Berkeley had an intersection with Qiao Yu, it would be you. If you didn't have a single shot in the project you worked with Dennis before, your future would be brighter than you are now. "
"No, grandpa, you know. This matter has passed long ago. I have no resentment, and I have never had any disputes with Qiao Yu about this matter. You should be the clearest thing."
"Yes, I know very well Frank. But to be honest, I always thought it was quite strange. But I didn't understand what the problem was.
It wasn't until now that I suddenly understood why I felt strange. This is not your personality! Frank, I know you very well. The results you have spent years and have been proven wrong by someone, and you will not accept them so calmly.
Obviously, your attitude towards Qiao Yu is a bit different. You seemed to accept it calmly, and didn't even look at Qiao Yu's research results specifically.
From my understanding of you, you will definitely spend a lot of time looking for loopholes in Qiao Yu's research. Even if there is no problem this time, you will be watching Qiao Yu's research for a long time. put.
But you didn't do that! This doesn't look like you at all, what do you think? So I'm really curious why this is, can you give me an explanation? ”
What is cunning?
That's it.
If Lucas Eisen was standing opposite him at this time, Frank swore that he would grab the old man's hair and ask him to repeat the words just now, and then ask him if he wants to listen to himself. say what?
Is there any problem with asking him to find the research results of the youngest Fields winner in history? Does it mean that his abilities are already stronger than those of Peter Schultz and Pierre Dellini?
None of these people can find the problem from Qiao Yu's research. Is it possible that he will find the problem?
Okay, although Frank knew that Qiao Yu was not so famous at that time, he just wanted to lose his temper!
He was angry at this old man, and Frank knew that this old guy never took him seriously; he was angry at this country because he had lived here for more than ten years but had never been treated equally!
He is even more angry with his biological parents!
If they hadn't necessarily brought him to the United States, his life now would definitely be better than it is now!
If he were alone, how could he live like this!
Everyone forces him at the most unsuitable time!
So Frank burst out at this moment.
"Explanation? How do you ask me to explain? Lucas! Have you forgotten what happened at that time? You forced me to go to the International Algebraic Geometry Conference to deal with Qiao Yu!
Maybe you have forgotten, but I remember clearly! I didn't plan to go, but if you call, I have to order the air ticket immediately!
Do you know what happened next? I bought it A low-cost economy class, stayed in a narrow and cramped space for eight hours.
But do you know what is the ridiculous thing? I rushed all the way and didn't even sleep. Just to say a few words to Qiao Yu, who was already very popular at the time, during the break of the conference!
And all of this is what you - Professor Eisen meant! Now you say you understand me in a high tone and ask me why I felt strange at that time?
So what answer do you want to give me? Because I can only suppress my anger due to your tyranny! Are you satisfied with this answer? "
Frank said very quickly. He took the initiative, and was even ready to pirate the old man opposite him in anger.
There is no choice but to put himself to death and then live. For the time being, he still has to keep his position as a professor of mathematics at Berkeley. Otherwise, he would not even have the right identity to go to China!
What he didn't expect was that the old man opposite was still calm. Almost as soon as he stopped talking, he asked again calmly: "So what you mean is that you have never offended Qiao Yu, nor have you ever had the same meaning as Qiao Yu. Is this true for any relationship? "
"Don't worry, think about it first before answering. I'm not sure if you know the seriousness of this incident. If I know later that you didn't tell the truth, I lied to me , the consequences will be very, very serious. Some people may even pay the price of their lives for this! "
The solemn voice and astonishing words made Frank subconsciously swallow his saliva, and he felt like his heart was about to pop out. The feeling of the chest.
Okay, Frank is really nervous at this time. He didn't expect to say such a terrible thing from Lucas Eisen when he was beaten to death.
The cost of life?
He is only 35 years old this year, in good health and energetic. In fact, this is the most precious golden age for a man. He has never considered death because it is still far away from him!
But just after this sentence popped out of Lucas Eisen's mouth, Frank finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
Then suddenly realized that Qiao Yu would not be able to get along with Berkeley because of his reasons, otherwise he might be in danger of life.
This country cannot continue to stay!
At least he can't stay here, especially if Qiao Yu doesn't change his mind, those crazy guys may really tear him to pieces.
Yes, those people will not go to trouble the initiator, because they cannot do anything to Qiao Yu in China, and will only take their anger on him.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
This group of damn guys have always been like this, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and fearing authority but not being virtuous.
Although I felt even more resentful, Frank unconsciously slowed down his tone because of fear.
"Lucas, what can I hide from you? Please think carefully, how could Qiao Yu have a conflict! At most, I just sent him a few emails, and they all discussed academic issues. . You can ask Qiao Yu directly in person about this."
"Okay, it's better, but Frank, I've warned you. No matter how you think of me, I always regard you as an ignorant junior. After all, you are my granddaughter's husband and we are a family.
It's just that this time the matter is too big. If it's because of you, I can't protect you, and no one can protect you. So my tone is a little heavier, if it makes you uncomfortable, I apologize! "
"No, no, um... I was out of control of my emotions, I'm sorry, grandpa." Frank, who had lost his courage, said stumbled. "Okay, then that's it. I've asked my friend to inquire, and I should know what's going on tonight. I hope we can solve this problem smoothly.
If If you have friends in China who can talk to Qiao Yu, you can also think of a solution. In fact, as long as he no longer targets Berkeley, all problems will be solved."
"Okay, but the time is not right now. I will call a few times later. I will ask you a few times. Professor Pan from Huaqing is very familiar with him. Maybe I can help you talk to Qiao Yu."
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
"Goodbye, grandpa."
Finally hung up the phone, Frank raised his hand and covered his chest. If someone was in this office at this time, he would see his face pale and sweating...
Frank could even feel that his back was completely soaked in cold sweat. The fear from death has already made him unable to breathe.
Even when it was most unsuccessful, he never thought that he might die.
Frank was scared at this time.
He turned around so violently that he planned to find his parents quickly, and then the family would return to China immediately.
But he suddenly stopped again as soon as he took a step.
No, if his whole family returns to China at this time, the goal will be too big.
Maybe you will be stopped just after booking the air ticket.
At this time, I can no longer control them. It is already very good that he can leave by himself, and he has to save himself.
I think these people are not so inhumane. If they can't find him, they will not cause trouble for his parents. Moreover, as long as he meets Qiao Xi and Qiao Yu, the mother and son will no longer cause trouble at Berkeley, the matter will be over.
Fastally, Frank convinced himself and decided to rush to San Francisco International Airport immediately. SFO is also one of the most important aviation hubs in the United States.
There are daily flights to all parts of the world. If there is a flight ticket to China that is about to take off, he will have to go to a third country first and then transfer to China.
Of course, the first thing to do is to go home and get your passport. However, his perfect plan ended from just leaving the office. "Hey, Frank, your face looks bad. Are you feeling uncomfortable?" "Yes, suddenly I have a stomachache. I have to go home to get some medicine." "I'm sorry, I'm here to inform you that there will be an extraordinary meeting in the Department of Mathematics ten minutes later, and no one in school's faculty and staff are allowed to be absent. However, there are still some tramadol in my office, which can effectively relieve pain. , do you need it? ”
“Oh, Jimmy, you are a good person, thank you so much.”
"I've already informed me about the small matter, so why don't you go to the office with me. Then we can go to the meeting together."
"Well... let's go."
...

Huaxia, Qiao Yu stretched out, picked up the phone that had set up a no-disturbance early and looked at it, and then found that the phone was about to explode.
More than a dozen missed calls, and a bunch of email prompts, it was like he poked a hornet's nest.
Qiao Yu only glanced at the email and knew that it was all about asking him why he suddenly wanted to trouble Berkeley.
It can only be said that the news spread too quickly. Sure enough, those large technology companies and people in these college circles have been interacting with each other.
He thought the incident would have to wait at least a few days.
It seems that he misunderstood the efficiency of the West, and in fact, it has really delayed some people's financial prospects, and they still reacted quite quickly.
But these are not important. What is important is that Qiao Yu thought of when he was ganging up with MIT, it can be said that the storm and waves didn't even start, and the matter was over.
But this time he hasn't exerted his strength yet, the storm is so big, isn't this too scary?
