Two days later, Xu Yun and his teammates took the high-speed train to Imperial Capital to participate in the expert group interview held at Imperial Capital University.
Xu Yun was holding an algebraic number theory textbook on his seat, and he was immersed in it and reading it with great interest.
Number theory, as a branch of mathematics, is an elective course in the Department of Mathematics at Peking University.
After he finished learning algebraic geometry, he became very interested in it and went to the library to borrow relevant textbooks to study, even on the way to the expert panel interview.
Learning this kind of thing is like sailing against the current. Once you start, you can't stop.
Otherwise the level will show a rapid downward trend.
Even if he has a photographic memory.
This is why many people gradually return the knowledge they have learned to their teachers after graduating from college and entering society.
The brain is an extremely sophisticated and powerful computer, which requires continuous operation to maintain good performance.
If you leave it there without needing it, you might not even be able to turn it on.
Because the expenses for their trip to the imperial capital were all reimbursed by the hospital.
Naturally, Xu Yun would not give Dean Qin any trouble. After the high-speed train arrived at the station, everyone got a room directly near Teito University.
At night, Xu Yun didn't have any psychological burden, lying alone on the big hotel bed and sleeping very soundly.
On the other hand, Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao couldn't do it. It was their first time to participate in an interview of this level. They were so excited that they couldn't calm down at night and couldn't sleep.
Although the interview did not require much effort from them, they still couldn't help but worry about Xu Yun.
the next day.
While having breakfast in the hotel lobby, Xu Yun noticed that the two people had dark circles under their eyes and they were both laughing and crying.
"You didn't sleep well last night?"
"It doesn't mean I didn't sleep well. I didn't sleep well at all." Zhu Liyan took a bite of the bun and replied.
"Today's interview is not over, I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep." Zheng Yuchao added immediately next to him.
Seeing this, Xu Yun said nothing more and went straight to the Imperial University expert interview site after breakfast.
…
The expert interviews for selecting the Higher Education Society Cup and Innovation Award are definitely far beyond the competition area defense lineup.
The titles placed on the judges' bench can be said to be more terrifying than the last.
He is the leader of the expert group of the National Mathematical Modeling Competition Organizing Committee, the dean of the Department of Mathematics of Imperial University, the chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society, and an academician of the Academy of Sciences.
If you are not mentally strong and confident, you may not perform well during the interview due to excessive nervousness.
By the time Xu Yun and the others arrived at the lounge outside the interview venue, it was already crowded.
In addition to participating teams from other competition regions, there are also some journalists from news media.
Many players are already being interviewed.
"This is too lively. I see there are several well-known media." Zhu Liyan looked around in the lounge and was indescribably shocked.
"After all, it's a national event, so it's normal to pay more attention to it." Xu Yun explained with a smile, and then looked at the empty seats not far away: "Let's go and sit down first. It should take some time before it's our turn."
This expert interview is centered on Xu Yun, and Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yu will not question Xu Yun's decision.
Hearing the sound, he immediately walked over.
When a few people sat down in the empty seats, they could hear other team members chatting with each other.
"Brother, which school are you from?"
"I am Jiaotong University."
"I envy you that you can take the opportunity to travel around at public expense. It's a pity that I have to attend an expert interview at my own school."
"How about we switch."
They were all non-nutritious topics related to school, and Xu Yun was too lazy to listen to them too much.
He took out the textbook again and started studying on his own.
Looking around the entire lounge, apart from chatting a few words, almost everyone participating in the interview was taking the time to review their papers.
Make sure it works properly later.
Someone like Xu Yun who was not in a hurry and was still reading textbooks that were not related to the interview seemed out of place.
Just then he suddenly heard someone calling his name, and the voice was familiar and full of surprise.
"Xu Yun."
Subconsciously he raised his eyes and saw Li Wenqing, a high school classmate, walking quickly towards him.
"Li Wenqing."
He quickly stood up and said hello to the other party.
He and Li Wenqing hadn't seen each other for a year since the application ended, and there was no obvious change at this time.
It's just that the dress is more intellectually beautiful.
When Li Hui and I were having dinner on New Year's Day, the other party mentioned that Li Wenqing should also participate in the competition. Unexpectedly, he was selected for the National Award like him.
Just when his thoughts were wandering, Li Wenqing in front of him took the lead in opening the topic.
"Congratulations on winning the national award."
"We should be happy together. Aren't you here for the expert interview today?" Xu Yun smiled on his face after hearing this and helped Li Wenqing correct the mistakes in his words.
"I was just lucky and joined a good group." Li Wenqing explained.
She had seen the list of teams participating in the interview today and knew that Xu Yun was participating as the team leader, so her status was naturally much higher than that of her, an ordinary team member.
Next to them, Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao looked like their buttocks were welded to the seats and did not get up.
For fear of disturbing Xu Yun and Li Wenqing.
The two of them didn't chat for a few words when another tall boy they knew came over to say hello.
Interrupt their conversation.
"You must be Xu Yun, the founder of Deepin Technology. I didn't expect to meet you in this way."
Xu Yun glanced around when he heard the sound, and was thinking about who this guy was when he suddenly heard Li Wenqing's voice again.
"Let me introduce you, this is our captain Pu Wenxing."
"Hello, classmate Pu."
Knowing that the other party was also a contestant, Xu Yun didn't put on airs and responded with a smile.
As a student of Qinghua, Pu Wenxing has some pride in his heart. He will not flatter Xu Yun just because of his status as the founder of Deepin Technology. He simply smiled and turned his attention to Li Wenqing.
"It's going to be our turn soon."
He said this as a reminder and turned away without any hesitation.
"Then I'll go to Xu Yun first." Li Wenqing was sure that his personal affairs would not affect the group, so he said to Xu Yun and hurriedly followed Pu Wenxing to enter the venue.
"Okay." Xu Yun nodded.
After the two figures disappeared from sight, Zhu Liyan stood up and couldn't help but ask.
"Xu Yun."
"Which school is this guy from? Does he look a bit awkward?"
"It's from Qinghua." Xu Yun turned his head and answered lightly.
Zhu Liyan: "That's okay."
After the simple interlude, Xu Yun was about to sit back, but was interrupted by a reporter holding a microphone.
"Hello, classmate, I am a reporter from New Youth. Can I briefly interview you?"
As a man who has been on several hot searches, Xu Yun really has nothing to fear from interviews now, not to mention that the other person is a reporter from New Youth.
So I agreed without much hesitation.
"Can."
"Do you think your team has a chance to win the highest prize in this year's Higher Education Club Cup?"
The female reporter first gestured to the camera crew behind her, then raised the microphone in front of Xu Yun and asked the first question.
If you come here to participate in expert interviews, you must be aiming for the highest award.
At this time, it would inevitably appear hypocritical to say that you don’t want to win the award.
Xu Yun was not modest either.
Answer directly and openly.
"Our dean said when we came here, we must take the trophy back."
…
After the simple interview ended, Xu Yun officially walked into the interview venue without waiting long.
And he happened to pass by Pu Wenxing.
In fact, the so-called expert interviews are more of a formality, and the list of winners has basically been decided in advance.
Relying on his experience in defense in the competition area, Xu Yun was able to answer questions from experts with ease and logic.
In particular, the focus is on the practicality of his own solution and examples of calculations using real data.
It can be said that no one on the judges' bench had a straight face throughout the whole process.
Among them, Academician Yuan Chengming, who holds the title of Academician of the Academy of Sciences and Chairman of the Mathematics Society, couldn't help but sigh: "There is a good talent coming out of Peking University this year."
This made him feel completely relieved. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to get at least a runner-up spot.
Because the final results would be released on the same day, Xu Yun and Zhu Liyan specially tasted the food in the Imperial University restaurant at noon.
It was not until around 3 p.m. that the results were officially announced at the venue and would also be broadcast on the evening news.
Xu Yun and his team undoubtedly won the highest award.
Pu Wenxing won the Innovation Award.
"How can this be?"
Staring at the results announced on the screen, Pu Wenxing really couldn't believe it.
He had heard about Xu Yun last year, and after forming the competition team, he learned some information from Li Wenqing.
He admitted that Xu Yun's achievements were very high, and that no matter whether he developed image restoration tools or established deep technology, he could not compare with him.
But mathematically he didn't think he would lose to the opponent.
But he never expected that this modeling competition would give him a slap in the face.
It's hard to accept.
However, a truly strong person will not be knocked down by setbacks. He adjusted his mentality a little, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then took the initiative to walk towards Xu Yun.
at the same time.
Li Wenqing looked at the screen in a daze.
After entering university, Xu Yun's performance became more and more outstanding, but in Qinghua, she seemed to be ignored by everyone.
But no matter what, this is her decision, and she will not regret it and cannot regret it.
It can only be said that from the moment she applied for Qinghua, she and Xu Yun were already in two different worlds. Even if they meet again now, they would at most wish each other the best.
The feelings that arise in youth do not have to have consequences.
Looking back many years later, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of my mouth, and that was enough.
——
"We really won the Higher Education Club Cup. I must be too sleepy and fell asleep to dream, right?"
Zhu Liyan repeatedly confirmed the name that appeared on the screen, but he still seemed a little dazed. Even though he had prepared his mind well last night, he still couldn't believe it when it really happened.
"Don't worry, you can never dream of winning a prize." Zheng Yuchao next to him said with a finishing blow.
After about three or four seconds of pause, Zhu Liyan came back to his senses, and then suddenly thought of something and asked Xu Yun.
"Where's our trophy? Can we take it directly back to school?"
"It would be nice to have a certificate. The trophy will be made in our hospital when the time comes." Xu Yun, with a happy smile on his face at this moment, answered Zhu Liyan's questions.
