"It should be that we won the Higher Education Society Cup. Dean Qin and Professor Tang came here to pick us up." Zheng Yuchao was obviously familiar with Qin Xiangxin and Tang Yanshan. After clarifying their identities, he expressed his guess.
"It's possible." Zhu Liyan nodded in approval.
Thinking of the opportunity to be welcomed by the dean, Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao couldn't help but become a little excited.
The pace of his feet was obviously accelerated.
Although Xu Yun felt that it was not that simple, he had no choice but to follow the two of them.
"Dean Qin, Professor Tang."
"How can I bother you to come and pick us up in person?"
"This is just a short distance away and we can just take a taxi."
Maybe it was because he had just finished the expert interview and was led by Xu Yun to successfully win the Higher Education Society Cup Award.
Zhu Liyan walked up to him and greeted him very familiarly, and he did not forget to say a few polite words.
Zheng Yuchao was still a little reserved. He just said hello and stood aside obediently without saying anything else.
Qin Xiangxin brought Tang Yanshan here with a mission. He wanted to take Xu Yun to the principal Wu Zhongping.
Today, because Xu Yun unknowingly proved Hodge's conjecture, they were tortured for most of the day and even forgot to eat lunch. Now that they finally saw Xu Yun, they still had the patience to delay at the station.
Qin Xiangxin took the initiative to ignore the two people in front of him, Zhu Liyan, and looked at Xu Yun, who was one position behind.
He said in a rather anxious tone.
"The principal wants to see you, get in the car and follow us."
Before Xu Yun could react, he grabbed his arm and walked towards the parking lot.
Although Qin Xiangxin looks thin and he is the dean of the mathematics department, his hands are really strong.
I don’t know if it’s because I usually exercise.
Xu Yun was stunned and immediately lost control of his body, and had to passively follow Qin Xiangxin away.
Thinking that the luggage was still with Zhu Liyan, he subconsciously shouted.
"Dean Qin."
"Hey~"
"I haven't picked up my luggage yet!"
At this time, Tang Yanshan did not forget to remind Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao in front of him.
"You guys should take a taxi back first. The school will reimburse the fare."
After saying that, he quickly followed.
Looking at the backs of Qin Xiangxin, Tang Yanshan and Xu Yun, Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao reacted.
Ganqing simply came to pick up Xu Yun.
But it is normal to think about it. Although the Higher Education Society Cup Mathematical Modeling Competition is a valuable award, it is not something that the dean of the Department of Mathematics can bring to greet him in person.
As students from the School of Planning, they definitely do not have this qualification.
"Don't worry, Xu Yun."
"We will deliver your luggage to your dormitory."
Zhu Liyan came back to his senses and shouted at Xu Yun's back until he completely disappeared from sight. He turned back to Zheng Yuchao and couldn't help but sigh.
"There are not many students that the principal can be so anxious to meet. It seems that Xu Yun may not be as simple as winning an award on the surface."
"It must be a good thing anyway." Zheng Yuchao said.
With only the two of them and their luggage left, Zhu Liyan stopped wasting time.
He immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket and planned to take a taxi back to school.
Anyway, the fare will be reimbursed.
Speaking of which, the principal's office is on another campus. Even if they get in Dean Qin's car, they have to wait for Xu Yun to see the principal before they can go back.
It would be easier to take a taxi directly.
When they were sleeping on the high-speed train, they were afraid of being woken up, so they turned their phones to silent.
At this moment, press to brighten the screen, and a large number of messages will pop up on the lock screen interface.
Zhu Liyan was shocked.
"Why are there so many people sending messages? They all replied to them last night?"
Although he and Zheng Yuchao had the opportunity to go to the Imperial Capital for expert interviews and successfully received the Higher Education Society Cup Award because of Xu Yun's favor, they still had honorary certificates and bonuses from the school. Therefore, many people sent messages to express their congratulations yesterday, and he responded to all of these messages.
It stands to reason that it is already the second day after winning the award, so it is unlikely that many people would be so late in the news.
After unlocking the screen with a puzzled look, he immediately clicked on the new message to view the content.
It would have been nice not to have seen it, but after seeing it, my pupils suddenly trembled, and I couldn't help but utter a curse word.
"Hold the grass!"
It attracted the side glances of passers-by.
Zhu Liyan was immersed in it, holding the phone in both hands and quickly sliding his index finger on the screen.
Such a strange performance also made Zheng Yuchao feel strange.
"You've been stepped on, why are you so frightened and deceived?" He teased while leaning his face closer.
When his eyes touched the content on the phone, there was also another swear word, and the decibel was even louder than Zhu Liyan just now.
"Hold the grass!"
…
…
"Professor Tang, can you stop staring at me like that? I always feel a little scared."
In the back seat of the black car, Xu Yun faced Tang Yanshan's cannibalistic eyes and made sincere suggestions.
"The genius math boy who proved Hodge's conjecture, how can he do it if I don't take a closer look."
"There are countless mathematicians at home and abroad who want to communicate with you."
Tang Yanshan teased this with a smile on his lips, but after speaking, he temporarily withdrew his gaze.
When Xu Yun heard this, he suddenly looked embarrassed and a little embarrassed.
"Does the school already know?"
"Not just the school, the entire mathematics world is very lively." Tang Yanshan rolled his eyes at Xu Yun.
"Your silence proves Hodge's conjecture. Didn't you expect what would happen?" Qin Xiangxin, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but take over the conversation and added: "I received it in the school mailbox today. Lots of emails from overseas.”
In fact, after Xu Yun saw the Mathematics Annual and the email from Princeton University last night, he guessed that the school should already know about it.
But he didn't expect his influence to spread so quickly, and he even bothered Dean Qin to come and pick him up in person.
"It was also when I was studying algebraic geometry and topology that I accidentally discovered the special connection between them, and then I conducted an in-depth demonstration."
"The Hodge conjecture was proved unexpectedly. I actually feel quite surprised."
"If I were to study other difficult problems now, I would still be blind and unable to achieve any results."
Xu Yun knew what he must say at this time, so he briefly described the process of proving Hodge's conjecture.
After hearing all these words, Tang Yanshan was not surprised.
Problems in world mathematics such as Hodge's conjecture, no matter how high-level or powerful his talent is but lacks inspiration, it will still be in vain. It can only be said that Xu Yun was very lucky and he found the right way.
On the way to the principal's office, Tang Yanshan and Xu Yun introduced the current situation.
"The school and the math club at noon have released the news that you proved Hodge's conjecture. Now the whole Internet is discussing your deeds."
"As for the emails received by the school, they are basically from well-known overseas mathematicians and authoritative international universities. According to the principal's wishes, all the reply work of these emails will be left to you."
Xu Yun did not disclose his email address. If other people in the mathematics community want to discuss the content of his paper with him, they can only send it to the school's official email address.
However, this situation is normal in academic communication.
After all, only by accepting and resisting other people's doubts can the Hodge conjecture be truly proven.
Thinking of this, Xu Yun nodded and said: "Just leave these emails to me to reply."
"You can ask about the specific matters when you meet the principal, but it's best to be prepared for the interview first." Tang Yanshan stopped here and did not continue.
Xu Yun fell into silence immediately, looking out of the car window casually.
He has already accepted several interviews so far, so he has nothing to worry about. He just needs to cooperate with reporters and answer questions.
It didn't take long.
The vehicle drives directly into the campus administration building.
Xu Yun went to the principal's office under the leadership of Qin Xiangxin and Tang Yanshan.
During the opening ceremony for freshmen, Xu Yun met the principal, so he took the initiative to say hello after walking in.
"Hello, Principal Wu."
"Classmate Xu Yun is back, sit down quickly."
Wu Zhongping noticed Xu Yun coming in, and immediately stopped what he was doing, stood up, and warmly greeted Xu Yun to sit on the sofa in the office.
He personally picked up the water glass and walked to the water dispenser to get a cup of tea.
Pass it to Xu Yun.
Even Qin Xiangxin and Tang Yanshan next to them didn't receive this kind of treatment.
"It's been a hard journey back from the imperial capital. Let's have a cup of tea first. We'll talk about other things later."
"Thank you, Principal Wu."
Xu Yun stretched out his hands to take the water glass handed over by Wu Zhongping, and then sat down with everyone after expressing his sincere gratitude.
After half a day of mental construction, Wu Zhongping had completely accepted Xu Yun's proof of Huo Qi's conjecture. At this time, he was not as eager as Qin Xiangxin Tang Yanshan.
After Xu Yun took a few sips of water, he smiled and spoke slowly.
"Classmate Xu Yun."
"Please allow me to first express my gratitude to you on behalf of Jingzhou University and the domestic mathematics community and international mathematics."
"You have brought great honor to the school and the country this time."
"Of course this is also your personal honor."
Being awarded such a high praise by Wu Zhongping, Xu Yun quickly put down his water glass and answered humbly.
“As a member of the mathematics community, it is natural for me to use the knowledge I have learned to solve difficult problems.”
"I would also like to thank the school and all the teachers for their training in me."
Wu Zhongping was obviously very satisfied with Xu Yun's words, and the smile on his face seemed to be about to overflow.
"Well said."
It can be said that it is full of praise.
After saying that, he didn't forget to look at Qin Xiangxin and Tang Yanshan next to him, and they also gave high praise.
"Your mathematics department has trained a good student. I believe that Xu Yun's future achievements will be more than this."
In the following time, Wu Zhongping informed Xu Yun School and the Mathematical Society in detail about the rewards for proving Hodge's conjecture.
One million yuan respectively.
In addition, he will also apply for national awards in the future.
Compared with the huge prize money for proving Hodge's conjecture, the Higher Education Society Cup point seems insignificant.
To be honest, Xu Yun didn't care much about the bonus, he just wanted to make his mother happy and proud of his son.
It is also worth mentioning that Xu Yun also talked about the email sent to him by Princeton University, and made it clear that he has no current plans to go to Princeton to study for graduate school.
