It seems it was never the right time.
He Danchang originally planned to wait until Qiao Ze's expert application results were out before publishing, but when the expert results came out, news broke of a foreign mathematics authority crazily praising Qiao Ze on Facebook.
Considering that Qiao Ze had already become a trending topic, and even internet celebrities and streamers were flocking to Xilin University of Technology to find Qiao Ze, even to the point of disrupting normal teaching activities, He ultimately missed this opportunity.
For an eighteen-year-old kid, getting too much praise all at once is not necessarily a good thing.
Another newspaper might not have had such concerns, but Everybody Daily was, after all, different.
So, after discussing with the newspaper's leaders, He Danchang decided to wait a bit longer. Since Qiao Ze's paper was about to be published in "Mathematics Annual," they might as well wait for the paper's publication before releasing it.
