Chapter 121: Tang Feng Successfully Selected for the National Men’s Basketball Team! (Part 2/4)

Tang Feng’s strength had far surpassed his imagination.

“Wang Long, you’re giving him too much credit! Next time he comes, Yang Wei and I will team up against him. I refuse to believe the two of us together can’t handle him!”

Wang Long didn’t respond. His teammates, who were usually the top players in their respective teams, came to the national team and found it hard to accept being outclassed.

Now seeing Tang Feng’s exceptional skills, it was natural for them to feel somewhat unbalanced.

“Brother Feng, the news of you joining the China’s men’s basketball team will probably spread quickly. You should prepare in advance for treating everyone,” Su Xiaoli half-jokingly said.

“These are minor matters. When we get back, I need to visit the editorial office,” Tang Feng said.

“What are you going to do at the editorial office?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“I’ve prepared a set of mathematical problems to send to Professor Gao and the others,” Tang Feng answered.

“Mathematical problems? Are you planning to set up a mathematical research group?” Su Xiaoli guessed.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “Without long-term planning, there will be immediate worries. The future of China’s mathematics lies with the youth. So, I plan to establish a mathematical research group and invite a group of top mathematicians to teach them. Of course, as the head of this research group, I will also often give lectures.”

“If you do this, America might take similar measures. That is to say, in mathematics, it will be a confrontation between two research groups in the future,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Exactly! And the research group established by America will not only include members from their own country but likely also mathematical geniuses from other countries,” Tang Feng responded.

“Does that mean we’ll be using the strength of one country to confront a group led by America?” Su Xiaoli was quite surprised.

“There’s no other way! The current situation is just like this! Of course, you don’t need to worry. If we don’t establish a mathematical research group, many top mathematical talents will also flock to America. To keep these talents, we must establish such a research group,” Tang Feng said.

“It’s mainly because of your appearance. You’ve solved six world-class mathematical problems in a row, shocking the entire mathematical community! You’ve now become a leading figure in China’s mathematics community! Everyone believes in you, that’s why they’re willing to join the research group. I hope you won’t let everyone down,” Su Xiaoli said, her eyes filled with hope.

“Don’t worry! I will do my best! I will find a way to improve the mathematical level of all group members! I hope they can all achieve world-class results! Only then will the center of world mathematics return to our country,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

Su Xiaoli didn’t speak, just snuggled in his arms.

The two silently enjoyed a moment of peace.

Soon, they arrived at the mathematics department building.

Tang Feng met with Gao Mingzhou.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tang Feng took out the mathematical problems.

“I’ll have someone print them out later! Then distribute them to various universities and research institutes, asking them to organize students to take the test,” Gao Mingzhou said.

“Okay,” Tang Feng nodded, “Anyone scoring sixty or above can come to Jingcheng University for a second test.”

“Wouldn’t that mean too many people for the second test if the cutoff is sixty?” Gao Mingzhou was worried.

“By my estimation, it won’t exceed a hundred people,” Tang Feng answered.

“That few?” Gao Mingzhou was somewhat incredulous.

Tang Feng remained silent.

Gao Mingzhou looked at the content of the math paper.

His brows couldn’t help but furrow.

Clearly, the difficulty of the math paper Tang Feng had prepared was even greater than he had imagined!

Even if he were to take this math paper himself, he probably could only score around ninety points.

A perfect score was definitely impossible.

“Tang Feng, are you really sure about using this paper for the test? I feel like it might severely damage the students’ confidence,” Gao Mingzhou was worried.

“Don’t worry! The students’ psychological quality isn’t as bad as you think! Besides, this is a selection test, not everyone is meant to make it to the second test. Only a very few will,” Tang Feng smiled.

“When these students come for the second test, will the questions be harder than this?” Gao Mingzhou asked.

“That’s up to you. I was thinking of having you and Professor Qiu and others set the questions for the second test,” Tang Feng answered.

“Why is that?” Gao Mingzhou was puzzled.

“It’s mainly to avoid any conflict of interest. The other three people in my dorm are also preparing to participate in the selection. If I were to set the questions, and they were selected, there would definitely be serious doubts,” Tang Feng responded.

“But if we set the questions, wouldn’t it be the same? I think no matter who sets the questions, if everyone from your dorm is selected, the outside world will still suspect there’s an inside story. To shut these people up, your roommates need to produce even better results,” Gao Mingzhou said.

“That’s true. But no matter what, it’s better if you set the questions. That way, even if my roommates don’t get selected, they won’t blame me,” Tang Feng said.

“Alright!” Gao Mingzhou readily agreed.

Then, Tang Feng bid farewell and went to the cafeteria with Su Xiaoli to grab something to eat before heading back to the dorm.

Su Ming and the others were studying like their lives depended on it. Seeing him return, they quickly gathered around.

“Did you contact the courier company?” Tang Feng asked.

“We contacted three. Two of them refused outright when they heard we were mailing alcohol. Only SF Express was willing,” Su Ming answered.

“Call the SF Express salesperson to come and pick up the goods,” Tang Feng said.

“Boss, are you really planning to give each of us a box of Moutai?” Zhu Zihang was somewhat incredulous.

“Of course, it’s true. It’s just under two thousand yuan, not much,” Tang Feng replied.

“In that case, I’ll call my family to come and pick it up,” Zhu Zihang said.

“I forgot your family lives in Beijing. Is it okay to call them this late? Or they can come and pick it up tomorrow,” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“My parents should have just finished dinner, perfect for a walk. I’ll call them now,” Zhu Zihang was eager.

Zhang Hao also started calling the SF Express salesperson.

Soon, the SF Express salesperson arrived.

“Are all these wines to be packaged?” the salesperson asked.

“Except for this box, pack everything else,” Tang Feng replied.

The salesperson began to inspect the goods and fill out the express forms.

Soon, all the paperwork was completed.

Tang Feng paid the courier fees.

“Boss, you’ve already given us such expensive wine, let us pay the courier fees,” Su Ming felt somewhat embarrassed.
