Chapter 83 Interview with Yang Ma
Three friends ran over quickly and surrounded Xu Chuan.
"What's wrong with you, you are so excited today?" Xu Chuan asked curiously.
Hearing this, Fan Hong suddenly said with disdain: "Brother Chuan, just pretend, keep pretending."
"Brother Chuan, it's okay to pretend to be beta, but you've gone a little too far. It's already on the hot search, and you still pretend to be ignorant."
"A treat! You've solved world-class problems, why don't you treat me to a meal? I want to eat fish from Xiaoxianzhuang!"
"Yes, it's a bit unreasonable to not treat guests to a meal, isn't it?"
When Fan Hong and others said this, Xu Chuan roughly knew what it was. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, opened his scarf and searched it. Sure enough, the proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture had topped the trending search some time ago.
"Brother Chuan, haven't you been online in the past two days?"
Beside him, Kong Zhong came over to look at his phone and asked curiously.
"No, I've had a cold in the past two days. I was lying in bed without reading a book." Xu Chuan shook his head and replied.
"I mean, why haven't I seen you come to class in the past two days? At first, I thought you were pretending to be a beta during the interview. Let's go, Brother Chuan, go to Xiaoxianzhuang and order a fish head with chopped pepper. You'll be sweating all over, you have a cold. It will be fine.”
Kong Zhong said with a smile that he and Xu Chuan were both from southern Hunan, but he was from Changjun. They had met before when they were competing in the provincial competition.
Xu Chuan rolled his eyes. This is a unique way for people in southern Hunan to treat colds. After catching a cold, they eat chili peppers to make them sweat all over and then go back to sleep and it will be almost cured.
But his cold is almost gone, and he even ate a woolen chili pepper.
As for the treat, Xu Chuan was not stingy and took a few roommates to Xiaoxianzhuang at the gate of the school.
The name Xiaoxianzhuang sounds very high-end, and it sounds expensive, but in fact it is a restaurant specializing in fish cooking.
Although the price is a bit expensive, the taste is very good, and it is very popular among NTU students. Whenever they want to treat guests to dinner or something, they usually choose this place.
In Xiaoxian Village, several people gathered around an earthen stove, eating fish and chatting.
"Brother Chuan, you have proved a world-class problem. Do you want to concentrate on studying mathematics in the future?"
Kong Zhong asked while grabbing a piece of fish belly from under Fan Hong's chopsticks.
"No, this time it was just an accident. Let's do what we should do in the future."
Xu Chuan replied with a smile and picked out the coriander leaves stuck to the fish in the bowl.
The fish at Xiaoxianzhuang tastes good, and the fish meat used is of good quality. Unfortunately, it likes to put coriander in it. He doesn't like this strange taste very much, and basically doesn't eat coriander.
"Brother Chuan is still awesome. He is so calm when he solves world-class conjectures. If it were me, I would have to set up a few tables and eat for a few days."
"That's right, it doesn't make sense to set off thousands of firecrackers on the ancestral graves in my hometown."
"You have to burn money. If you don't burn money and just set off firecrackers, your ancestor will climb up from below and strangle you to death."
"How many gold ingots are there? How many houses are there?"
Beside the earthen stove, several people were laughing and joking around. Xu Chuan occasionally chimed in. In his opinion, youth should be like this, full of vitality.
As soon as I returned to the dormitory, my cell phone rang. It was my instructor Chen Zhengping who called me. "Hey, Xu Chuan, are you okay with your cold?"
"It's almost done. I'm worrying you, teacher."
"That's good. Can you move around tomorrow? There is an interview with CCTV here."
"CCTV interview?" Xu Chuan asked in surprise. Did this alarm 'mom'?
"Well, I've been waiting here all day, so it's hard to refuse."
"Okay, what time will it be tomorrow afternoon and where will it be?"
"One o'clock, in the teaching building."
"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow."
Xu Chuan responded and hung up the phone. He really didn't expect that Yang Ma would come over for an interview. It seemed that it was linked to his age and he was regarded as a typical representative by the superiors.
Just like Liu Lu, the student from Nanzhong University who independently solved the 'Sitapan Conjecture', not only was he awarded a million yuan, but three academicians including Li Banghe of the Academy of Sciences wrote letters to recommend him, asking him to be admitted as an exception. For graduate students, it is recommended that relevant departments immediately take special measures to strengthen their academic training.
This kind of treatment is unique among young students. Unexpectedly, he also enjoyed it.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Chuan arrived at the teaching building on time and was immediately startled by the battle in front of him.
In front of the teaching building, there was a large group of guns and cannons, densely packed with reporters.
Xu Chuan looked at the reporter in front of the administrative building with a puzzled look on his face. Didn't he say that it was only Yang Ma's interview? Why are there so many reporters?
What he didn't know was that this was arranged by the school. In order to expand the reputation of the school and the School of Mathematics, Nanda also took great pains.
In the past two days, he had been lying in the dormitory with a cold. The reporters who came to interview could not find anyone. Then he was gathered by Nanda and arranged to interview with Yang Ma today.
The Mathematics Department of Nanjing University is not easy. It has not produced any top talents since it was dismantled. This time, it is finally possible to produce one who can solve world-class conjectures at the age of seventeen. Why should we publicize it so much?
Seeing a group of reporters, Xu Chuan paused and was recognized by a young lady holding a black microphone.
Seeing Xu Chuan, the young lady's eyes lit up, she stretched out her hand to take a picture of the young man holding the camera beside her, and ran over quickly.
"Hello, classmate Xu Chuan, how did you solve the Weyl-Berry conjecture within one year? Do you have any special inspiration and methods?"
The young lady's actions quickly attracted the attention of other reporters, and the scene immediately became chaotic, with all the reporters surrounding her.
"Student Xu Chuan, how did you solve a world conjecture in less than a year after getting the top score in the college entrance examination and two gold medals in the math competition? Is there any special learning method? Can you and Shall we share it?”
"Classmate Xu Chuan, Professor Gowers of Cambridge University has publicly invited you to study at Cambridge University. Will you go?"
"Classmate Xu Chuan."
The reporters who swarmed up almost threw their microphones into Xu Chuan's mouth. The crowd surrounding him made it difficult for him to move forward, and the noisy questions made his scalp numb.
Fortunately, someone came to the rescue after a while. Several school security guards noticed the situation here and quickly rushed over to separate the crowd and welcome Xu Chuan into the teaching building.
In the teaching building, Dean Rong Zhizhuan of the School of Mathematics and school leaders were present. In addition, there were also three middle-aged and elderly men in formal suits, as well as reporters from Yangma.
As for why he could recognize this reporter as Yang Ma’s at a glance, Xu Chuan was not blind, and the huge logo on the photographic equipment was clearly there.
