The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 135: Sour Grapes
Bang! Bang!
Lou Jianguo took a bus for more than 30 hours before finally returning to Chengdu, Sichuan. He then changed to other means of transportation and finally walked back to Wolong Village.

"Brother Jianguo? Is it really you?"

On the country road at the entrance of Wolong Village, when the villagers saw Lou Jianguo, they widened their eyes in disbelief for a moment.

It was not until a long time later that the villagers finally confirmed what was going on. A young boy nearby immediately ran towards the village.

More than ten minutes later, several old men and women, as well as some children, gathered at the gate of Lou Jianguo.

Lou Jianguo was kneeling in front of an old man, and next to him was a village woman, who seemed to be his wife.

Lou Jianguo's father was very distressed, both for his youngest son and his grandson.

The three-year-old grandson missed his mother, so he stumbled to find her by himself. As a result, he accidentally fell into a puddle in the stream and never got up again.

That's how the child died.

It’s very sad, but also very helpless.

Life is like this, eight out of ten things are not as good as you can do.

Lou Jianguo, who had traveled thousands of miles back from Ice City, was already exhausted. After learning how his son died, he became even more sad.

I couldn't hold on for a moment and fainted.

In an instant, the entire Wolong Village was in chaos.

Unlike Wolong Village, Dahonggou Village in Northeast China is particularly lively.

Wang Duoyu and his men went into the mountains to hunt for a day, and on the next morning they brought back a family of wild boars. A total of fourteen wild boars were killed by them.

When so many wild boars were carried back to Dahonggou Village, the whole village was in an uproar.

There are fourteen wild boars. Although there are only three wild boars weighing over a hundred kilograms, there are eight wild boars weighing seventy or eighty kilograms. The remaining three little wild boars also weigh thirty or forty kilograms.

All in all, this harvest is absolutely very satisfying.

That afternoon, all fourteen wild boars were plucked and cleaned. Those that needed to be made into sausages were made into sausages, and those that needed to be dried in bacon were dried in bacon. In any case, they were processed on the spot and would not be released.

It's April now, and pork can't be kept for long, so it has to be disposed of quickly.

"Old Yuan, should you be satisfied this time?"

While eating the pig-slaughtering meal in the afternoon, Wang Duoyu asked Yuan Jigang and the others with a smile.

The six people in dormitory 303 all nodded to show their satisfaction.

This time when they came to Wang Duoyu's hometown, they had a good experience of hunting. This spring hunt was very successful, and the fourteen wild boars were enough for them to brag about for a while.

Although Rong Guangxia and his men's shooting skills were very poor, Yuan Jigang's shooting skills were still very good. At least he shot and killed a wild boar by himself.

"Duoyu, this autumn, in the fall, I must come to your hometown to hunt, it would be so cool."

Yuan Jigang started making appointments again. He didn't know how much he had drunk, but he started talking nonsense:
"Next time I come to your hometown, I will definitely bring two boxes of white wine. I won't leave until I'm drunk."

Wang Duoyu was speechless for a moment. Could this be fake wine?
Zhu Hanting also said that he would sign up for this year's autumn hunt, but Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes at him:
"You still want to participate in the autumn hunt? Didn't you sign up for the program to study in the United States? After the exams, you'll probably be leaving the country in July or August, right? You're still participating in the autumn hunt!"

“At most I won’t go.”

"You said this, do you believe it yourself? Anyway, I don't believe it!"

Yu Xinyao chuckled and Rong Guangxia fell silent.

The latter also wants to participate in the autumn hunt, but at the same time he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to study in the United States, but he may not be selected.

Not everyone can go to study in the United States. Harbin Institute of Technology has a limited number of places and everyone must pass the exam. Only after passing the assessment can you go to study in the United States.

Wang Duoyu did not participate in this matter, but just watched them chatting with a smile.

Anyway, you chose your own path, so just don't regret it.

Happy times pass very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the next day, April 7th, and it was time to go back to school.

Wang Duoyu and his team returned with a full load. Both cars were filled with the specialties of Dahonggou Village, as well as wild boar sausages and bacon.

When he returned to Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu went to the security department with ten kilograms of bacon and went to the principal's office with fifteen kilograms of sausages.

Although he doesn't like this kind of welcoming and seeing off, he definitely knows how to behave and will definitely give gifts when they are necessary.

Besides, this is not a big gift.

At this point in time, it is no longer as difficult as before. A gift like ten kilograms of sausages is not too much, but not too little either. It is just right for giving as a gift.

Liu Deben didn't want to accept it, but Wang Duoyu was firm in his attitude, so he put the things down and left.

It is impossible not to collect it!
The Security Department has accepted it, so Principal Liu definitely can't refuse it.

Back in dormitory 303, Wang Duoyu took a look and asked, "Has Jianguo not returned yet?"

Today is already the 7th, and Lou Jianguo hasn't come back yet. It seems something really happened in his hometown.

Yuan Jigang and the others responded, but Wang Duoyu already knew the answer, so he did not continue the topic. Instead, he chatted with everyone for a while and then turned and left.

As soon as Wang Duoyu returned to the door of the teachers' dormitory building, he saw Xue Xiaoling waiting in the corridor. The latter was holding a book, looking down and muttering to herself.

"Why are you here? Another question?"

At this time, Wang Duoyu's tone was somewhat impatient.

It is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.

Although Xue Xiaoling only came to him to ask questions about mathematics, especially some problems related to topology, he was not a teacher, and why would she ask him for such basic knowledge?

Besides, Xue Xiaoling's thoughts are obvious to everyone.

Even though Wang Duoyu told Xue Xiaoling clearly many times, she still didn't give up, and it seemed that she was really just asking for advice.

But Wang Duoyu guessed that the other party was definitely planning something, but it was not very clear at the moment.

"Hey, Duoyu, you're back. I saw you guys in the library just now."

Xue Xiaoling was very surprised. After a few polite words, she immediately got to the point and asked a question about topology. Wang Duoyu saw this and said directly:
"For this question, you can refer to page 8 of the 17th journal in the list of books I gave you earlier. There is a related paper in it that you can read carefully."

"Besides, I just got home and the house is still a mess, so I won't entertain you. Please feel free to do as you please."

After saying that, Wang Duoyu closed the door without giving her any chance.

Some people have very low requirements for their significant other, or they cannot control their lower body, and they can eat any kind of woman.

But Wang Duoyu would never do that. He has very high demands on his partner, and he would never ruin his career because of a woman.

So even though he seems to be playing with both Liu Xiaoli and Zhu Ling now, in fact, the two of them have no intersection at all, and there is no possibility of being exposed.

As a mathematical researcher, he has a firm grasp of probability issues. The probability that Zhu Ling and Liu Xiaoli know each other is basically zero.

Xue Xiaoling is different, not only because her appearance and figure do not meet Wang Duoyu's aesthetic standards, but also because she and Wang Duoyu are classmates. In such a relationship, the two sides have a lot of intersections, and the possibility of being exposed is relatively large.

Well, just because she doesn't meet the aesthetic standards, Wang Duoyu will not give Xue Xiaoling any preferential treatment, let alone anything else.

Xue Xiaoling, who was locked at the door, was mentally prepared but still looked unhappy.

But she had no idea what to do.

Cold!

After turning around and leaving, Xue Xiaoling calmed down and left with a blank expression.

In her opinion, Wang Duoyu might have a partner, but she is not a person who just sits around and eats for free.

Over the past period of time, she often consulted Wang Duoyu for advice, and the results were very good. Her professional progress was rapid, and her understanding of topology has reached a new level.

This was a new and novel experience she had never had before.

Remember, this is topology!
As long as she learned it, she would definitely be able to understand Wang Duoyu's paper proving the Poincare conjecture. Studying in the United States might be a very good choice, but it would require competing with Jian Xianglan, Dai Yian, Zhu Hanting, and others. Xue Xiaoling couldn't be 100% sure that she could defeat them all on her own.

So she could only take a different approach and try to open up a smooth road from Wang Duoyu's side.

From the current perspective, asking Wang Duoyu for help with math problems is really very useful.

Although he didn't have much patience and always kept a very safe social distance from her, Xue Xiaoling was very frustrated at one point.

But her harvest was full and she was satisfied.

If, if possible, during the process of interacting with Wang Duoyu, she could make him feel a certain degree of favor towards her, or even make him willing to become her partner, then Xue Xiaoling believed that this strategy would have been over-achieved.

A mathematical genius who has the potential to win the Fields Medal is Xue Xiaoling's boyfriend. No matter how you look at it, she has made a fortune.

If this really happens, then she and Wang Duoyu will definitely be a perfect couple that everyone envies.

Therefore, even though Wang Duoyu didn't have much patience with her now, she was able to keep her composure.

Now all she has to do is to stick with Wang Duoyu and improve her math skills, and then she will make a lot of money.

As soon as Xue Xiaoling walked out of the first floor, she ran into Teacher Yang Xiuhua, who had a somewhat ambiguous smile:

"Xiaoling, you're here to see Duoyu again? Are you angry again?"

Yang Xiuhua is a teacher in the Department of Computational Mathematics. Actually, she is not a gossipy person, but there is nothing she can do. Who made Xue Xiaoling come here all the time recently?

This is the teachers' dormitory building, and the only student living here is Wang Duoyu.

Of course, Wang Duoyu is no longer a student now, but a teacher, the only difference is that he is not teaching.

Anyway, the leaders of Harbin Institute of Technology, such as Secretary Li Rui, President Liu Deben, Director Wu Congxin, etc., are all very kind to Wang Duoyu and have a special preference for him.

Therefore, even though Wang Duoyu lived in the teachers' dormitory building, few students dared to say anything about him.

Even if someone really said something, it is hard to say now. The two most powerful parents of Harbin Institute of Technology, Li Rui and Liu Deben, both blatantly favor Wang Duoyu. What will it matter what others say?
It doesn't work at all!
Xue Xiaoling always came to the teachers' dormitory building to look for Wang Duoyu, so Yang Xiuhua naturally started gossiping.

"Teacher Yang, I'm going back first." Xue Xiaoling did not chat with Teacher Yang Xiuhua, but just smiled and left.

After watching him leave, Yang Xiuhua did not continue gossiping, she just thought it was fun.

Wang Duoyu is undoubtedly a proud student, and I heard that he has been divorced before, so such a man must be difficult to conquer.

Although Xue Xiaoling is very good, Yang Xiuhua is not very optimistic about her. Anyway, there should be something good to watch.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Lou Jianguo still hadn't returned. However, a new piece of news caused an uproar in the mathematics class.

Jian Xianglan submitted her paper to Science China Mathematics, and it was successfully accepted.

This news was announced by Director Wu Congxin, so there is no need to question its authenticity.

As the third student in the Department of Computational Mathematics to successfully publish a paper, Jian Xianglan's success has inspired many people, such as Dai Yian and Xue Xiaoling.

Zhu Hanting had already successfully published a paper in the "Acta Mathematica Sinica", and Wang Duoyu had published many papers.

The students who are able to get into university are all gifted people who never give up.

Therefore, after learning that Jian Xianglan had actually published the paper, everyone came to Jian Xianglan to ask for the paper and wanted to study it.

This is no different from the scene when Zhu Hanting successfully published his paper.

Of course, some people have raised questions, that is, why did Zhu Hanting go to Shanghai to revise his thesis, but Jian Xianglan didn't need to?

Could it be that Zhu Hanting’s paper was too difficult, while Jian Xianglan’s paper was too easy?
This person is simply sour grapes because he can't eat them.

"Duoyu, can you help me? I have a paper here, can you review it for me?"

Inspired by Jian Xianglan, Rong Guangxia also walked into the office of the Department of Computational Mathematics with his thesis manuscript that afternoon, found Wang Duoyu, and asked him for advice secretly.

"Sure, Lao Rong, you chose the field of differential equations. Let me take a look."

After Wang Duoyu took it, he took a glance at it and quickly realized that the quality of the other party's paper was not very good, but for an undergraduate student, it was already very good.

"No need to revise it, you can submit it now."

After reading it, Wang Duoyu said with a smile. Upon hearing this, Rong Guangxia immediately showed an excited smile.

"By the way, Duoyu, I still have two papers that I haven't revised yet. How about you take a look at them for me?"

It's better not to bother two people with one thing. Rong Guangxia is well prepared.

Wang Duoyu did not refuse the next two papers. After reading them, he shook his head.

It's just because Rong Guangxia is a little overconfident and chose a very difficult thesis topic. Even a doctoral student might not be able to write it.

However, Rong Guangxia insisted on challenging such a high level of difficulty, so this draft paper is completely useless.

Even major changes are difficult.

And if it is a major change, it is better to rewrite it.

So Wang Duoyu directly rejected it and asked the other party to choose another direction to reduce the difficulty.

When Rong Guangxia heard this, he frowned and said unhappily:
"Duoyu, I've already written a lot of papers. I want to challenge myself with something more difficult. I can't just stay where I am. What do you think?"

"Jian Xianglan's paper was published a few days ago. We all read it. How difficult is it? Duoyu, you must know more about it than us."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person with a smile.

Judging from Rong Guangxia's tone, he seemed to look down on Jian Xianglan's paper. He probably thought her paper was very simple.

In fact, Rong Guangxia's idea is completely in line with the thinking logic of ordinary people.

As early as last year, after Zhu Hanting's paper was successfully published, a small class was held in Dormitory 303. At that time, Wang Duoyu had mentioned to everyone in Dormitory 303 how to write a paper.

From November last year to April now, both Rong Guangxia and Zhu Hanting have actually written quite a few papers.

Of course, not every paper can be published successfully, and not every paper can be published in top journals such as "Science China Mathematics" and "Acta Mathematica Sinica".

It would be great if it could even be successfully published in the school journal.

But even so, Rong Guangxia and his classmates in Room 303 are already far ahead of others.

After all, they already have two pioneers in dormitory 303, Wang Duoyu and Zhu Hanting, who have successfully published papers. In addition, Wang Duoyu has popularized some tips on writing papers, so it is of course different.

This is actually the same as the students who were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University and the top scorers in the college entrance examination in later generations.

Many college students who were admitted to Peking University through the college entrance examination and carried the hopes of the entire village, realized for the first time after entering the Peking University campus that there are more ways to get into Peking University than just the college entrance examination. There are also competitions in physics, mathematics, chemistry, winter camps, summer camps, the Strong Foundation Plan, and so on.

Due to their limited experience, many students from rural areas and small towns have no idea about these programs or competitions, and even if they do know about them, it is too late for them to prepare.

You have to know that some people start preparing right from elementary school or even from birth. They have already lost at the starting line. How can you compare with these people?

There's no way to compare!

Some primary school students in HD district want to learn swimming, and the coach who teaches them swimming is not an ordinary physical education teacher, but a world swimming champion.

For example, these primary school students wanted to learn how to be a director, so they directly invited international famous directors to help teach them.

Can it be the same?

The people in dormitory 303 are indeed far ahead, and of course it is very different.

"Okay, if you want to challenge yourself, then go ahead. But I told you last year that I won't help you revise your papers, so you'll have to work hard."

Wang Duoyu reiterated his attitude, and Rong Guangxia had no choice but to nod.

At this moment, not far away, Xue Xiaoling, who wanted to get closer, stopped immediately after hearing the words.
