Chapter 198: Rejection

Translator: Translated Henyee Editor:Translated Henyee


Regardless of whether it was expected or not, the opening ceremony of this year's math conference came to an end. Two Loo-Keng Hua and the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Awards were completed in applause.


Someone is unhappy?


The reward doesn't care about your feelings!


The shutter sound from the camera rang out loud as the second opening ceremony ended, the reporters started crowding towards the stage.


The reporter from the Daily Mail asked the question first.


“Professor Qiu, there is a rumor that you have disagreement with the mathematics department at Yan University. Is this true?"


With a smile, Professor Qiu Chengtong, “Of course it's fake. I'm an old friend of Wang Shicheng's, and we talk often. Wang Shicheng, do you disagree? "


Professor Wang Shicheng smiled stiffly as he said, “Of course. I admire Old Qiu's work on partial differential equations. ”


Professor Wang Shicheng did not lie because Professor Qiu Chengtong was one of the leading mathematicians in the country.


If it was another weakling?


Wang Shicheng will berate them.


Professor Qiu did not have a good temperament, and he disliked the values of domestic learning.


Everyone is an academic, so they have a certain attitude.


Not to mention, the President and Secretary General of the International Mathematical Union were here, so no matter how troublesome their own people were, he still had to calm down outside.


On the other hand, it was not only Professor Qiu Chengtong who was surrounded by reporters. Even the winners of Loo-Keng Hua and the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Awards were also under siege.


Especially Lu Zhou.


The 21-year-old winner is absolutely amazing!


This is big news for journalists.


A reporter rushed over and chased Lu Zhou to ask, "Mr. Lu Zhou, what do you think about winning the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award? ”


Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I'm very happy. I have no mind! "


A foreign journalist rushed over and asked in fluent Mandarin, "Mr. Lu Zhou, the rumor is that Professor Qiu and Professor Lu have beef and that this Shiing-Shen Chern Math Award was given to you by Qiu Chengtong. Is this true?"


Lu Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "This is my first meeting with Professor Qiu. He's an honorable scholar. I have no comment on personal matters! "


"Sir. Lu Zhou, can I get your WeChat? ”


A young female journalist from the journalism department of Beijing Normal University comes along.


However, would Lu Zhou be tempted by her beauty?


Of course not!


To avoid being entangled by this woman, Lu Zhou chose to be interviewed.


The question shot towards Lu Zhou, and he immediately felt numbness in his head. He quickly moved through the crowd.


Motherf* cker, why is it so difficult to receive awards ...


On the other hand, Professor Yang Zhiguang was comfortable with such a scene. He always had a smile on his face that did not offend anyone.


When Lu Zhou finally escaped from the auditorium of Beijing Normal University, he sat in Yan Xinjue's car.


"Where is Professor Lu?"


“Professor Lu went to eat with his old friends. We will eat back at the hotel, ”said Yan Xinjue.She smiled and said, “Lu Zhou!Not bad! 21-year-old Math Award winner Shiing-Shen Chern. You will probably get the Fields Medal by the time you turn thirty. "


Lu Zhou smiled and said, "By the way, how did you guys know in advance that I would win?"


“I accidentally found out because Professor Lu is very connected.I think he got it from Old Qiu. Then one day, he spilled the news while drunk and I heard it, ” Yan Xinjue said as he drove the car. He added, “I actually want to tell you, but Professor Lu won't let me. Don't blame me. "


Yan Xinju asked, "What's next?Are you still going to progress towards mathematical physics? "


"Yes," Lu Zhou said as he nodded.He then said, “Mathematics is an important scientific research tool. It is like a knife, and can be used in any discipline. The work of a mathematical researcher is like sharpening this knife. But, I am not only interested in sharpening knives, but I am also interested in using knives. "


Yan Xinjue said, “Not bad, that's good bullshit. I'm looking forward to seeing you on stage in Stockholm. "


Stockholm is where the Nobel Prize is awarded.


However, this award is only given to major scientific discoveries. It's not easy to get.


Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I hope."


...


The opening ceremony of the 12th Chinese Mathematical Society ended. An official congress was held in the afternoon and the next board of directors, as well as the secretary general and the next chairman, were elected.


While the conference was going on, Lu Zhou was on Weibo.


He had to admire the journalists.They had already sent out a press release.


Journalists attach short videos and interesting titles to clickbait.


[Shocked! 21-year-old Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award winner!]


[Named the Chinese Field Medal, whoever wins the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award is a genius.]


[Who could have thought that this year's Shiing-Shen Chern Math Award was given to him!]


[...]


Not surprisingly, this hot news is once again trending.


The short video shows Lu Zhou on stage. The first media outlet to post this video had their comment section explode.


[What is the Shiing-Shen Chern Math Award?]


[It's one of the most famous math prizes! How do you not know?]


[21 Years, isn't that a bit young?I remember most past winners in their forties ..]


[How many forty-year-olds can achieve this level of success? This fellow will probably win the Fields Medal!]


[Praise the Chinese Mathematical Society for not getting old!]


[Wu Yan and old dog Zhu must be very angry!]


[...]


Lu Zhou did not know about the online discussion.


In the evening, he went to a dinner hosted by the Chinese Mathematical Society.


As the winner of the Shiing-Shen Chern Math Award, and as the youngest winner of all time, Lu Zhou became the star at the party.


Many young scholars wanted to talk to him.


Even older scholars respected his humility and passion.


Even the academician of the Chinese Mathematical Society, Wang Shicheng, was eager to talk to him.


Not only that, Wang Shicheng praised Lu Zhou's work in front of many people.He also offered Lu Zhou to go to Yan University.


Lu Zhou was tempted because the mathematics department of Yan University was at the top of the list in the country. Not to mention, under Yan University, he might become the youngest academic ever.


However, he still had to keep his promise. Lu Zhou had already agreed to be part of the Jin Ling University training program.


Therefore, he subtly rejected this invitation and told Professor Wang the reason, which was that he had received an offer from Princeton and that he would leave next year to earn a PhD.


When Professor Wang heard his explanation, he understood. Professor Wang said that if Lu Zhou wanted to teach or speak at Yan University, he would be welcomed with both hands open.
