Chapter 153 Dou Dou Goes Astray? _2
```
"Hmm? We have this kind of thing inside our group?" Hanna looked at Qiao Ze in surprise, who was deep in thought.
How many more things that she didn't know about were hidden in this amazing research group?
"You don't know yet? Oh, right, it hasn't been announced yet. No worries, after we finish eating, I'll take you to experience it and you'll see how smart Dou Dou is."
...
"This is the Pear Blossom Private Room, right?"
When Xu Dajiang pushed open the door of the private room and saw four men and a woman chatting animatedly inside, he instinctively stepped back and confirmed the plaque hanging on the door.
It seemed he hadn't gone to the wrong place.
"Dean Xu, this is the place, please come in." Chen Yiwen immediately stood up and greeted him warmly.
The four young ladies who had been chatting merrily instantly fell silent and looked at Chen Yiwen in amazement.
Yes, Chen Wenyi had not told the four young ladies that the Dean of the School would also be coming today.
He was afraid that if he told them, the juniors wouldn't dare to come.
After all, it was only after strategizing with the girl's roommates and leveraging the reputation of Qiao Ze, the School of Mathematics' prodigy, that he successfully got Deng Tingting to agree to have dinner with him.
"Oh, you're that little..."
Xu Dajiang began to rack his brains...
The young man looked familiar, but he was having trouble recalling his name.
"Yes, Dean Xu, I am Chen Yiwen, the 'Chen' who worked with Qiao Ze on the Qunzhi Framework."
Chen Yiwen quickly took the initiative to respond.
If he'd waited a few more seconds, he feared Dean Xu might accidentally call him by a completely wrong surname.
It didn't bother him that Xu Dajiang might not remember him, but his crush was there — being forgotten or having his last name mistaken would be a serious loss of face.
"Right, right, right, 'Chen', your paper was also published in the 'Duke Mathematical Journal', wasn't it?" The mature and composed Xu Dajiang glanced over the girls' cautious expressions and immediately seemed to grasp the situation and said with a smile.
Xu Dajiang was exceptionally tolerant of those close to Qiao Ze.
He trusted Qiao Ze's judgment. Anyone Qiao Ze included in his research group was bound to have their own brilliance.
Even if they didn't shine, it didn't matter.
Fact was proving that even without any brilliance, as long as Qiao Ze was willing to lend a hand, he could turn them to gold.
"Yes, Dean Xu, please take a seat. Oh, and let me introduce you, they're all freshmen from the Applied Mathematics major, class two of the School of Mathematics. This is Deng Tingting, and her roommate Han Jiaqi, Xu Wei..."
"Hello, Dean Xu." The four young ladies, still not entirely aware of the situation, hurried stood up to greet him.
"Hello, all of you. It's okay, please sit, no need to be so formal..."
Xu Dajiang smiled as he spoke, handling the situation with aplomb.
Although he had somewhat understood what today was about, he was still a bit puzzled.
Wasn't it Qiao Ze who had invited him for dinner?
What was with these kids showing up?
Fortunately, after the introductions, Chen Yiwen immediately said, "Dean Xu, Qiao Ze just told me on WeChat that they are on their way here and should arrive soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open again.
Three people entered in single file.
Qiao Ze, still pondering over the off-track intelligent assistant, followed Su Mucheng and sat down in their reserved spots.
"Qiao, boss lady, Hanna, you're all here. Let me introduce everyone again..."
...
There wasn't much to say about this dinner.
Xu Dajiang's status and the freshman group were inherently incompatible.

Moreover, with Qiao Ze's habit of not chatting while eating and with Xu Dajiang there, without anyone suggesting drinking, one could imagine how dull the meal was.
Thankfully, there were Su Mucheng and Chen Yiwen, who always managed to liven up the atmosphere appropriately at the dining table, ensuring that the private room never went completely silent.
However, during the dinner, the junior girls got the chance to observe up close the most legendary 'scholar-god' of the School of Mathematics.
Not only because of his previous internet fame.
Actually, all the commotions stirred up by the School of Mathematics had only been hot online for a day before the university forcefully suppressed it.
Mainly, it was because of the crafty strategies Xu Dajiang came up with, and the higher authorities couldn't be bothered to cooperate with him.
Otherwise, Qiao Ze's online fame would definitely have been much larger. Of course, Qiao Ze didn't need that kind of recognition.
For the new students of Xilin University of Technology, the biggest impact of the name Qiao Ze was that it forced them to endure an additional internal classification exam for their college due to his efforts alone, and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences was no exception.
It was somewhat annoying to people.
But once the stories of the final exams in the Mathematics foundation class from last semester spread throughout the school via the BBS, virtually everyone in the colleges of science and engineering started to tacitly avoid mentioning the name God Qiao.
People didn't know Qiao Ze well, but it was clear that although he was a freshman like them, he had the ability to pull stunts that could make others cry.
One wrong word about him, and another partially open-book exam could truly be maddening.
After all, the cruelty of a double first-class university had been felt by the freshmen during the classification exam.
So, the only outlet for venting, the Materials Science College, was nailed to the wall of shame on BBS.
It was said that within the Materials Science College, a vigorous search for the freshman culprit was underway.
There were even suggestions from senior students that the boastful freshman should turn themselves in for leniency.
