Su Qingyun first looked at the sender on the envelope, Benjamin, editor-in-chief of "Annual Review of Mathematics". She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she finally received a reply. If she didn't reply, she would doubt whether her letter was sent to the right place.
Mr. Stevens' letter of recommendation was written to Su Qingyun when she was in country E. He told Su Qingyun that if one day she wanted to submit a paper for publication, she should send it together with the letter of recommendation. To Benjamin, this letter of recommendation has never come in handy until now.
Su Qingyun opened Benjamin's reply.
Dear Su, hello, I am Benjamin, the editor-in-chief of "Annals of Mathematics". I am very happy to receive your submitted paper titled "Stage Proofs and Ideas of Riemann Hypothesis". After joint review and evaluation by multiple reviewers, We can already confirm that your paper has high research value and is also of great significance to the study of the Riemann Hypothesis.
After discussion, we have decided to publish your paper on the first page of the August monthly issue of "Annals of Mathematics". At that time, we will mail you a sample issue. If possible, please contact me and I will give you my most sincere I would like to discuss the mysteries of mathematics with you and look forward to meeting you one day.
After Su Qingyun read the letter, she smiled and felt a little excited. This was the first paper she was about to publish in her life. She was very happy that she had finally paid off after spending so much time on it.
But looking at the phone number left by Benjamin on the letter, Su Qingyun had a headache again. In this era, international calls were not easy to make.
In their town, you can only make calls to local people. If you want to make calls to other places, you need to go to the post office to apply. It is so laborious to make calls within the province, let alone make calls abroad. It is basically impossible. things.
Su Qingyun estimated that he would have to go to the provincial capital at least before he could make phone calls abroad.
Let's forget it, it's too much trouble. Su Qingyun thought about it and gave up.
She folded the letter paper and put it back in the envelope, and waited calmly for the August sample issue of the "Annals of Mathematics" to be mailed.
The sample journals came early, and the results of their final exams were already out. On the day when the results were announced, the third-year students stood in front of the school bulletin board and began to look for their names and scores.
As always, everyone started reading from the third name, because the first and second names were the unbeatable Su Qingyun and Ji Yue, so there was no need to read them.
"My score this time was twenty points higher than the predicted score! That's great!"
"Me too, my grades are higher than last time, which is great!"
"It's over, it's over, I failed the exam this time, I won't be assigned a good job!"
"I didn't perform well either. If I get these results, my dad will beat me to death."
Seeing the results announced, everyone had different reactions. Some were happy and some were sad. Especially this time, the results are related to the distribution of work, and everyone pays more attention to it.
"Let me see, let me see!"
Xia Qiu pulled Su Qingyun and squeezed into the crowd. First she glanced at Su Qingyun's results. She praised: "Qingyun, you are first again, and Ji Yue is second again."
These two are truly the eternal number one and number two.
Su Qingyun glanced at it with a calm expression, looking for it on the bulletin board, "Quickly look for your own results."
Xia Qiu also looked at it.
"Found it!" Soon, Xia Qiu shouted happily, "Oh my god, I actually got more than thirty points higher than my last score. That's great! That's great!"
Su Qingyun also smiled. She was happy for Xia Qiu. With this result, Xia Qiu should be able to be assigned a good job. At least at this stage, a good job is the most important thing.
"Where is Ji Yue?" Xia Qiu turned around and asked.
"Outside, didn't come in." Su Qingyun said.
"Oh, let's go back to the classroom. The teacher is going to announce the work assignment."
After reading the results, what everyone is most concerned about is of course the allocation of work. In fact, it is not the school that is responsible for allocating work, but the local neighborhood committee. The school only conveys the specific results.
The students in Class 1, Grade 3, all returned to the classroom. Teacher Qin walked in. Everyone's expressions became tense. Except for Su Qingyun and Ji Yue, no one paid attention. Anyway, with the results of the two of them, the assigned work must be The best, they have no qualifications to compete with them.
Teacher Qin looked at the nervous students in the audience and smiled, "I have said before that we have recorded all your performance and various achievements in the past three years, which are related to your current work assignments and future. "
She took out a piece of paper and said, "This is the work assignment list for our class. There are a total of thirty-five students in our class. Eighteen of them are qualified to assign work. Some of the assigned locations are in Local, some are out of town, and the jobs are different, such as factory workers, salespersons, teachers..."
It is impossible for every student in a class to have the opportunity to be assigned a job. With so many graduates, there are not so many jobs. There are more wolves than meat, so it is natural to select the best students.
Eighteen of the thirty-five were assigned jobs, a half probability, which is not bad. You know, in future generations, countless college graduates will not be able to find jobs every year.
But when I heard that there were only eighteen people, everyone's expressions became even more uneasy. They didn't know if they were among the eighteen people.
Teacher Qin did not hesitate and started reading directly, "Shi Hongda was assigned to the Hongxing Brick Factory in Luoshui County as a technical worker; Liu Xiaofang was assigned to the town department store as a sales clerk; Chen Dali was assigned to the town department store as a sales clerk; Chen Dali was assigned to the town department store as a sales clerk. Assigned to Luoshui County Chemical Plant, working position, technical worker; Zhang Ju, assigned to Baiyun Town No. 1 Primary School, working position, Chinese teacher..."
Workers, department store clerks, teachers...these jobs that Teacher Qin is reading are all good jobs that everyone envies. They are not far from home, the wages are high, and they are decent. Those whose names are read are relieved and reveal their faces. Excited expression.
"Xia Qiu, was assigned to the town bus station, working as a conductor, Chen Jia, was assigned to the Blue Mountain Farm, working..."
Xia Qiu was worried for a long time, and finally heard her name. She immediately showed a big smile. This job as a conductor at the town bus station is already very good. She is very satisfied. It is close to home, and she is free and not tired.
Teacher Qin spoke slowly, and the eighteen tasks were quickly read out. The results of the work assignments were settled. Those whose names were not read out looked disappointed. Others had their results. Then the future of these people is still in the future. Where is it?
