He also had a certain reputation in the international mathematical community. That was the reason why New York University had invited Xu Changshu to take a teaching position last year.
Schools naturally wouldn't want to let go of such talents; that was only to be expected.
The only issue was that Xu Changshu's contract happened to have only a few months left this year, so bringing up resignation at this time couldn't exactly be said to be wrong. Moreover, he was going to a 985 university in the central region that wasn't very well-known.
To be honest, such a move indeed required some courage.
"Was it Qiao Ze who invited you?" Zhang Hongcai asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes." Xu Changshu nodded frankly and said, "When I read Qiao Ze's paper, I had some questions and talked to him about them. I originally wanted to invite him to Yanbei, but he said he even refused Princeton, let alone Yanbei."
"So you got the idea to go there?" Zhang Hongcai asked helplessly.
