After the list of finalists is announced, it is time to award awards. Even if it is just a semi-final, in order to encourage everyone's inventions and creations, awards are also set up.
The top ten groups of twenty contestants all had prizes, and the first, second, and third place got prizes, which were one hundred yuan, eighty yuan, and fifty yuan respectively. The group of Su Qingyun and Ji Yue took the first place without hesitation and got a prize. A hundred dollar bonus.
The remaining seven groups of contestants received prizes. Each player received a pen and a hard-shell notebook, which were also worth a lot of money.
After receiving the prize, Su Qingyun and Ji Yue split the prize equally, fifty each. Teacher Qin watched with a smile as the two finished "dividing the spoils."
At this point, the semi-finals have been successfully concluded. They can live in the Children's Palace until tomorrow at the latest and move out. Su Qingyun and the others are not in a hurry to go back. She still has things to do.
"Where to go?" Teacher Qin asked with a frown. She is a little girl. What if something unexpected happens in such a big provincial city?
"Go to the provincial capital university." Su Qingyun said honestly.
"Provincial capital university?" Teacher Qin was stunned, but felt a little more relieved. There should be no danger in going to the school, "What are you going to do there?"
"There's something I need to find someone for."
"Okay, just come back soon." Teacher Qin didn't ask further. She glanced at Ji Yue next to her and said, "How about letting Ji Yue accompany you?"
"No need, teacher." Su Qingyun said, this is a private matter for her and it is not suitable for others to go with her.
Ji Yue pursed his lips, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go together."
"Huh?" Su Qingyun was confused.
"I'll go to the department store and buy something with the bonus."
"good."
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Teacher Qin still said uneasily, "Come back early and pay attention to safety."
Su Qingyun and Ji Yue nodded and left the Children's Palace. The direction of the provincial university was in the same direction as the department store, which was not too far away. They didn't take a ride and walked slowly.
"It's hard to come to the provincial capital. It's time to go to the bookstore." Su Qingyun suddenly remembered this.
Ji Yue: "I'll check it out later. What book do you want to buy?"
Su Qingyun thought for a moment, "About agronomy." Since she was helping in the experimental group, she still had to catch up on agronomy knowledge.
"Okay, let me help you keep an eye on it." Ji Yue nodded.
The two separated in front of the department store, and Su Qingyun continued walking to the provincial capital university.
Today's provincial capital universities recruit students through the recommendation channels of workers, peasants and soldiers. Their academic level is uneven, and there are many fewer majors. When Su Qingyun looks at the door plaque of the provincial capital university, it seems that it has lost a bit of luster.
She approached the reception room at the gate and said hello.
"Hello, brother."
The guard in the communication room looked sideways at her, "Who are you?"
"I'm here to find someone, and this is my letter of introduction." Su Qingyun took out his letter of introduction.
The guard looked carefully and saw that there was no problem with her identity, so he asked: "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for a professor from the Department of Mathematics. His name is Chen Zheyu. Do you know this person?"
"Professor Chen?"
"Yes." Su Qingyun said hurriedly, "Is he in school now?"
The guard thought for a while and said, "Wait for me to call and ask."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Su Qingyun said with a smile. She looked at the guard dialing with a smile.
"Hey, please pick me up Professor Chen from the Department of Mathematics. Oh, hello Professor Chen, I'm from the security department. There's a little girl here asking to see you, yes, her name is..." The security guard was stuck for a moment.
"Su Qingyun." Su Qingyun said hurriedly.
"Her name is Su Qingyun." The guard said, "Let her go directly to the office to find you, right? Okay, okay."
The guard hung up the phone and said, "Professor Chen asked you to go directly to the office of the Department of Mathematics to find him."
"Okay." Su Qingyun nodded quickly. She glanced at the huge campus, "Can I ask, how to get to the office?"
"If you go straight, turn left and then right, you will see the office building. The Department of Mathematics is the first room on the right on the third floor." The guard said in detail.
Su Qingyun nodded, "Sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome."
Su Qingyun turned around and walked in the direction he said.
In the Communications Office of the office building, Chen Zheyu returned to the office of the Department of Mathematics with a puzzled look on his face. He was not from this city and had no other friends except his colleagues. Who on earth would come to him at this time? Su Qingyun, this name is also quite unfamiliar to him.
"Professor Chen, what's wrong?" a colleague next to him asked him.
"Oh, it's nothing." Chen Zheyu replied.
"By the way, Professor Chen." A colleague approached him and said, "I heard that we are planning to set up a mathematics talent group to conduct some mathematical research. How about it? Are you interested?"
Chen Zheyu said expressionlessly: "Not interested."
"How could you not be interested?" My colleague said in disbelief, "This is a good opportunity. As long as we can be selected into that mathematics talent group, how can we still stay here? We must seize such a good opportunity and miss this village. But there is no such store anymore.”
Although their status as university teachers seems to be glamorous, today's universities are no longer the universities where hundreds of flowers bloomed and studied hard. What kind of students do these serious university graduates in their early years teach now?
There are too many things that make people criticize about the system of college admission recommendation by workers, peasants and soldiers. It does not distinguish between academic qualifications and only looks at contributions and recommendations.
Let’s just say that in their mathematics department, some of the students they recruit are those who have graduated from elementary school. Not only do they not understand the mathematics in class, they don’t even recognize the mathematical symbols. In class, they just play the piano to others.
As teachers, they naturally want to teach outstanding students and even cultivate talents for the country, but what about now? Day by day, I was just dawdling around. If I didn't get into their position, I really don't know how frustrating it would be. Now that I finally see a chance to leave, I have no reason not to seize it.
"What a good opportunity?" Chen Zheyu sneered, "In today's ever-changing situation, one second we talked about setting up this talent group, the next second it might be overthrown. Do you believe it or not? Can we afford these risks?"
How many of his former teachers and classmates were involved in this ever-changing situation. It was already very good that he could be alone as a university teacher. How could he expect more?
"Stop talking about us, even Mr. Hua..." Chen Zheyu didn't finish his words, but his colleagues knew what he was talking about.
Mr. Hua, a great mathematician of China, has made outstanding contributions to the cause of mathematics in China. He is an honorary professor in many famous universities in the world. When he became famous, he chose to return to China. After returning to China, he became a mathematician of China. Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working hard for the cause of mathematics in China.
He transformed the profound and complex mathematical principles into simple and easy-to-understand "dual methods", namely the "optimization method" and the "overall method". In recent years, Mr. Hua has been running around to promote the "double methods", aiming to make more people Learn some simple math.
Mr. Hua was overworked and even suffered from myocardial infarction in August last year. He was in a coma for six weeks and was critically ill at one point.
However, even such a great mathematician who serves the country and the people has been attacked by some "careful people", saying that he traveled to more than 20 provinces and cities to promote the "double method" as a tourist.
Such characters are treated like this, let alone ordinary people like them?
After hearing these words, my colleague was silent for a moment, "But are you really willing to do this?"
Chen Zheyu was stunned for a moment, and his hand holding the book tightened.
"Chen Zheyu, you are Professor Chu's student. Are you really willing to do so?" the colleague asked again, with fire in his eyes, "Mr. Chu did not give up mathematics even when he was in jail. As his student, Can you give up?"
Chen Zheyu fell silent, remembering his mentor's earnest teachings to him, hesitation and entanglement flashed in his eyes.
"Think about it carefully." Seeing that his words were almost finished, my colleague sat back in his seat.
Chen Zheyu was left alone and lost in thought. The book in his hand did not turn a page for a long time.
"Bang bang bang!" A rhythmic knock on the door sounded. People in the office looked up and saw a pretty girl standing there with a gentle and harmless smile on her face.
"Who are you looking for?"
The girl's voice was crisp, "Is Professor Chen Zheyu here?"
The teachers in the office all looked at Chen Zheyu, and the colleague next to him pushed him, who was still lost in thought.
"how?"
"Someone is looking for you." The colleague muttered toward the door.
Su Qingyun had already walked towards Chen Zheyu. She stood in front of him and said with a smile: "Are you Professor Chen Zheyu?"
Chen Zheyu looked her over and frowned, thinking of the phone call just now, "Are you Su Qingyun?"
"right."
"I do not know you."
"I know you." Su Qingyun said, "Professor Chu asked me to come to you." The Professor Chu she was talking about was naturally her teacher Chu Xianming. After knowing that she was coming to the provincial capital, Chu Xianming asked her to come to the provincial capital. The first thing is to come to the provincial capital university to find Chen Zheyu.
"Who are you talking about?" Chen Zheyu's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, "Who are you talking about asking you to come to me?"
"Professor Chu." Su Qingyun said word by word.
"You... you wait for me for a while." Chen Zheyu tried his best to stay calm and said to his colleague, "I'll go to the next class and help me."
"Okay." The colleague nodded and looked at Su Qingyun curiously. Does she know Professor Chu?
Chen Zheyu wiped his face and said to Su Qingyun, "Follow me."
Su Qingyun nodded and followed him to the school sports ground. The sports ground was empty and the two of them sat down in the stands.
Chen Zheyu looked at Su Qingyun, "Tell me, why did Professor Chu ask you to come to me?" He did not call Chu Xianming master, because if Su Qingyun didn't know about their relationship, he didn't want to expose it.
"Brother, don't be nervous." Su Qingyun had a relaxed smile on his face.
Chen Zheyu's body shook when she called her senior brother, and he looked at her in disbelief, "What did you call me?"
"Senior brother," Su Qingyun said in a straight tone, "I am also a student of Professor Chu."
Chen Zheyu opened his mouth and stared at her blankly, not knowing how to react for a long time.
