Chapter 26 Why be so polite?
Li Ang suddenly realized.
So it seems that the "suggestion technique" only affected his first transaction with Martin, and that Martin initiated everything afterward.
No wonder Martin offered $800 for the Frank Kingdom silver coin the second time without haggling.
No wonder he seemed reluctant to part with the short sword today.
Moreover, he helped me resolve my identity issue, bought me a gun, and even flattered me to help me sell medicine.
It turns out Martin was a charlatan after all.
Thinking of this, Li Ang nodded, "Okay, I'll give it a try. We'll have further discussions when I go to the grocery store to get my identity the day after tomorrow."
"no problem."
"That's all for today? See you next time."
"Hey kid, aren't you really going to give it a try? The girls here are hot."
Li Ang walked outside, saying in a voice Martin could hear, "I think it's too much for you. How about this, I'll treat you next time I earn some money."
"Hey, you're right, it's too expensive. Wait, you're going to treat me, that would be too much trouble."
……
After parting ways with the cunning and stingy old charlatan, Li Ang headed home, pondering what he would do in America.
With Martin's help, he was able to do many more things after resolving his identity issue.
His primary focus is definitely on learning. The academic system is the foundation of his success, and everything he does serves the purpose of learning.
The work at the Danube Clinic can continue. With this cover, he might have more ways to sell the two new drugs Martin mentioned.
of course.
Even though Li Ang has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve, he still needs to thoroughly research the details of "Shuyue" and "Cardio" before making any further plans.
"And then there's fitness."
"Sigh, I'm so busy."
Is this the destiny of a wizard who strives for truth?
In 1960, Chicago nights were still relatively free of light pollution. After glancing at the starry sky and considering that he had to get up early the next day to go to work at the Danube Clinic, Li Ang ran home.
As he ran, he asked, "System, play a song."
The system did not respond.
……
The next morning.
Danube Clinic.
"Good morning, Lyle. Good morning, Harvey."
As before, Li Ang greeted the two hardworking employees of the Danube Clinic, only to find that their expressions were somewhat strange.
Then I looked inside the house.
Okay.
Besides Nicole, there was another beautiful woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a dark gray suit.
It was Keira Nolan, who had met Li Ang once before.
Judging from Lyle and Harvey's expressions, and considering what Li Ang "accidentally" overheard in front of Nicole's house a couple of days ago.
Li Ang didn't think Professor Nolan was an easy person to get along with at all.
But that has nothing to do with him.
He was just a lowly worker who earned $15 a day, helping Nicole with her tasks.
Thinking this, Li Ang stepped into the inner room.
Nicole whispered, "Teacher, Li Ang is here."
Kayla looked up at Li Ang but didn't say anything.
Nicole winked at Li Ang and introduced, "Li Ang, this is Professor Nolan from the University of Chicago, who is also the big boss of our clinic."
"Hello, Professor," Li Ang greeted him.
Kayla scrutinized Leon for a few seconds before pulling out a bound sheet of paper from her leather folder and saying, "Today's appointments will be handled by Lyle and Harvey, and the disposal of the bodies will be handled by Nicole. Leon, you don't need to get involved."
Kayla's voice was pleasant, but it lacked intonation.
the most critical.
What is she saying?
Could it be that she's still angry about the time she ate at Nicole's house a couple of days ago?
Now you want to fire yourself?
Please, that was a trap set by your niece Nicole, what does it have to do with me?
Thinking this way, Li Ang calmly asked, "What does Professor Nolan mean?"
"The teacher wants to test your math knowledge," Nicole whispered.
math?
How did this turn into math?
Then it dawned on Li Ang that before he went to Ioria last time, he had helped Nicole with an algebra problem.
Nicole said at the time that it was homework assigned to her by her teacher.
In hindsight, it was because of this question that Keira Knightley approached him.
As Li Ang pondered, Kayla turned to him and said, "I mainly want to test your grasp of advanced mathematics. You can think of this as a special admissions exam for the University of Chicago. It might be presumptuous of me to say this, but from what Nicole told me, you're a rare mathematical talent, but I need to confirm that further. Do you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ang didn't react much, but Nicole stared at Kayla with wide eyes as if she had seen a ghost.
She knew her aunt all too well.
When does a University of Chicago professor who has made great achievements in various fields need to be so polite to an 18-year-old?
Or was it that Auntie had already confirmed Li Ang was a mathematical genius before it even started?
She just wanted to go through the motions with the formal test?
Meeting Kayla's questioning gaze, Leon nodded. "I can, Professor Nolan."
"Okay, I have an FDA meeting scheduled for noon, so time is limited. Let's get started quickly. I have a math test here, a little more difficult than what third-year math students usually take. You can work on it for two hours, then we'll see the results and decide on the next steps, okay?"
I must say, talking to Keira Nolan is quite comfortable.
Although she had a stern, icy expression and a flat voice, the content of her words was still quite humane.
No wonder he became a professor at the University of Chicago at this age.
Li Ang admitted that his first impression of her was somewhat stereotypical.
Although Li Ang was unsure whether he would attend the University of Chicago, the opportunity to meet a professor would be of great help to his future studies and gaining a reputation in America.
Thinking of this, Li Ang nodded and said, "No problem, Professor Nolan."
Seeing that Li Ang agreed to do the questions, Kayla raised her eyebrows, handed over the test paper and draft paper in her hand, and then took out a pen from her coat pocket and handed it to Li Ang.
Li Ang didn't stand on ceremony, took the test paper, and went to his workstation to start reviewing the questions.
Since Kayla Nolan explicitly stated that this test was more difficult than the questions that Chicago juniors had encountered, Li Ang certainly wouldn't underestimate it.
He will give it his all.
Insert 1 learning coin to activate [Mental Focus].
In the United States, skills are used to get into a highly efficient learning state within an hour; they are not very helpful for exams alone.
But it can help Li Ang quickly enter a state of flow.
Ignoring all external distractions, Li Ang focused entirely on the exam paper and began answering the questions.
Question 1: "Let u(x, y) be a harmonic function on the unit disk D={z∈C:|z|<1}, and satisfy the boundary conditions:"
lim_（r→1）u(re^iθ)=f(θ)={1，0<θ<π；−1，π<θ<2π
Where f(θ) is a function on [0, 2π). Find the value of u(x, y) at the origin z=0.
The question was very simple and clear, but Li Ang could tell that it was definitely not easy to solve.
The difficulty was no less than the question Nicole had asked him a couple of days ago.
