For the reasons mentioned above, all he could do was awkwardly respond to his old friend's expectations. Although he verbally agreed to find an opportunity to talk to Qiao Ze about this matter, if the opportunity didn't present itself, there was nothing to be done.
As for Li Jiangao and Xu Dajiang, there's even less need to mention them.
Similarly, almost every day people bothered him, with the majority indirectly probing about when Qiao Ze would work out the new algebra's fundamental theories to clear up everyone's confusion.
Xu Dajiang even called Qiao Ze about it once.
If Qiao Ze were really willing to complete the entire set of theories, or even publish a textbook, it would seriously boost the school's prestige.
Especially since the school had always had some complaints about Qiao Ze signing with Huaqing on the artificial intelligence theory textbook deal, Xilin University of Technology had its own publishing house, and such matters really should be handled in-house.
