The effect is that now wherever Xu Dajiang goes to a conference, participants from several renowned Huaxia universities keep their distance from him, not even bothering to acknowledge him.
No way around it, can't beat him on achievements, can't outcurse him either, and talking to this guy only raises your blood pressure for nothing, it's not worth it.
Coincidentally, the newly appointed president of Xilin University of Technology, Zhang Mingrui, is also quite a character.
He can't be bothered to run around everywhere and just likes to stay within the 'one acre, three-quarters' of the school. His status is quite special, being a member of the presidium of the Science Academy, so for some less important meetings or those involving resource allocation, he simply lets Xu Dajiang attend in his stead.
The effect is indeed remarkable.
