Actually, Su Mucheng didn't quite understand Qiao Ze's words, as what was "simple" in his mind was indeed too difficult for the average person.
Re-auditing so many projects in such a short period of time and coming up with possible solutions, that was basically fantasy to others, who considered that the most difficult part. Conversely, it would probably be much easier to find the person behind all the trouble by going through those exposed group chat logs.
But obviously, what's normal for most people simply didn't apply to Qiao Ze.
Fortunately, this year the Department of Mathematics and Physics had only approved 23 projects. Subtracting the project applied for by Li Jiangao, there were only 22 left.
So, Su Mucheng watched as Qiao Ze directly opened the first project "Research on Nonlocal Nirenberg Problems and Other Critical Nonlinear Issues."
