A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 129 It's not suitable for me to be your apprentice, how about I be your junior brother?
The seminar, originally scheduled for one hour, didn't end until 5:30 pm.

These elderly professors were all hungry and exhausted, but they were in good spirits, their eyes sparkling with energy.

All good things must come to an end. The problems raised by Yun Wei could not be solved by such a seminar. Although it did provide Chen Hui with many ideas, he still needed to keep trying and verifying them to completely solve these problems.

"Young Chen, please come to Yanbei University for exchanges more often when you have time!"

As Chen Hui left the conference room, Professor Chen Songxi of Yanbei University looked at him with a big smile and extended an invitation to him, as if he were about to pull Chen Hui directly to Yanbei University.

However, they all knew that Chen Hui was Yuan Xinyi's student, and it would be rather dishonest to poach him in front of Yuan Xinyi. Besides, given Yuan Xinyi's resources, they couldn't really poach him anyway, so they simply gave up.

Let's make a good connection.

"We at Tsinghua University would also like to welcome Xiao Chen anytime. You can come to Tsinghua for your master's and doctoral studies. Our mathematics department at Tsinghua has a very strong foundation, and we even have the only Philippine Nobel Prize winner in the country here..."

Not to be outdone, Tsinghua University professor Li Zhonghai also extended an invitation.

However, he swallowed his words halfway through, adding, "In short, coming to Tsinghua University will definitely not disappoint you!"

"sure!"

Chen Hui gave a polite reply and then saw the professors off one by one.

The professors left one after another, and the graduate students in the conference room followed them out.

Even after walking quite a distance from the conference room, Ma Weiyang was still somewhat dazed, unsure if it was because he hadn't rested well.

"This is a good thing!"

Deng Songyuan patted Ma Weiyang on the shoulder, "With this breakthrough, our research project can also take a big step forward and produce some more exciting results!"

He quite liked this student of his; he was intelligent, energetic, and, more importantly, had ideals and beliefs!
"You don't need to underestimate yourself. As Mr. Tian said, C30 is used for columns and walls, but our C20 can also be used for beams and slabs. Everyone should make the best use of their talents and resources. As long as you can find your place, you can shine just as well!"

“That kind of person is destined to work on theoretical mathematics. He lays the foundation for us, and we go on to work on applications. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

He certainly understood his student's confusion.

Even he himself was somewhat confused.

If he hadn't happened to be a professor researching condensed matter physics, he might not even have been qualified to sit at the table at this conference.

But the protagonist of this very seminar was actually a sixteen-year-old high school student!

Who can let this go?

The same scene unfolded for every graduate and doctoral student who left the conference room.

Those who were brought to this seminar were naturally the professors' star pupils. Anyone who could be a star pupil at Tsinghua or Yanbei University was a prodigy.

Even such a prodigy would find it hard not to have his Dao heart shattered when he watched helplessly as a child crushed him.

"Those guys in the admissions office are really useless. They didn't even notice such a good prospect, and Jiangcheng University beat them to it."

"If you ask me, they should all be given the worst performance ratings."

A professor from Yanbei University was so angry that he couldn't help but start cursing.

Congratulations, Xiao Yuan!

When Xing Jiguang left the meeting room, he patted Yuan Xinyi on the shoulder. His complicated expression made Yuan Xinyi feel a little amused.

"You're really lucky!"

Before leaving, Yun Wei sighed to Yuan Xinyi.

"What, are you jealous?"

Yuan Xinyi became much more lively in front of his friends. "If you're envious, you can give your junior colleague some pointers when you have time. When your junior colleague publishes a paper in the future, I'll ask him to mention you in the acknowledgments."

"Who cares?"

Yun Wei couldn't stand Yuan Xinyi's attitude, so he walked out of the conference room with his head held high.

He himself has several papers published in the top four journals, and he doesn't know what level of acknowledgment would make it special.

"Come to my office later."

Tian Yang whispered something in Yuan Xinyi's ear, then walked up to Chen Hui and said with a slight smile, "Well said!"

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the conference room.

Only then did Yuan Xinyi approach Chen Hui with a smile, "How are you feeling?"

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long, but suddenly everything becomes clear."

Chen Hui said without hesitation.

This seminar also had a great impact on him; he realized that doing mathematical research could be so interesting!
Yuan Xinyi shook his head. "I'm not asking how you feel about your next research direction. I'm asking how you feel about this seminar, about being the center of attention and being the center of attention."

Chen Hui was somewhat surprised.

Is this some kind of test of character?

However, he chose to follow his heart, saying, "Honestly, it feels pretty good!"

Yuan Xinyi smiled.

That would certainly feel great.

Every professor in this conference room is a highly influential figure in their respective fields.

With such praise, not only a sixteen-year-old boy, but even a thirty or forty-year-old adult would feel flattered.

This is also the feeling he wanted Chen Hui to experience.

Remember how you felt today!

Yuan Xinyi suppressed his smile and looked at Chen Hui seriously. "Mathematical research is destined to be a tedious process. In fact, the deeper you go into the research, the more difficult and tedious it becomes. It is very likely that you will not make any progress for several years or even decades."

When that time comes, look back on how you felt this afternoon, and it will give you even more motivation to move forward!

As someone who has been through it all, Yuan Xinyi felt it deeply. He was stuck at a bottleneck in the Langlands program for more than four years. As he got closer and closer to forty, he had achieved nothing. That feeling of loneliness and powerlessness would break even the most confident genius.

Therefore, Yuan Xinyi has put a lot of effort into today's seminar!
Chen Hui nodded, understanding his teacher's good intentions.

But he wasn't too worried.

dull?

difficulty?

Before he gained free attribute points, weren't these two things the main theme of his life for more than ten years?
He persevered through that time, and now, seeing the progress on the data panel every day, how could he possibly be defeated by boredom and difficulties?

Your math level has improved from Level 2 (84) to 85%.

Your math level has improved from Level 2 (85) to 86%.

Looking at the comments in front of him, Chen Hui was filled with motivation. Although the seminar he had just attended was only two hours long, it had greatly improved his mathematical proficiency. Just like a few months ago when Teacher An explained mathematical analysis problems to him, having an experienced teacher to guide him was much more efficient than self-study.

How could he possibly find it boring or difficult to watch the data increase every day?
"Alright, next, summarize the content of today's seminar, clarify the direction for the next step, and then you can start writing the paper. The title can be tentatively set as 'Application of the Langlands Program in the Realization of Fractional Chern Class Differential Geometry'."

Yuan Xinyi nodded in satisfaction. Chen Hui's performance today made him realize that his efforts had not been in vain. Such a genius was worth his time and effort.

"what?"

"Is this enough to write a thesis?"

Chen Hui was somewhat confused.

Judging from the topic the teacher gave him, this paper seems to only require him to express the differential geometric implementation of fractional Chern classes using the Langlands program, and does not require him to solve the problem raised by Yun Wei at the seminar.

He had already completed all of this in just over half an hour during Professor Adrien's lecture.

Is writing a thesis really that simple?

"Is this... a little watery?"

Chen Hui asked hesitantly. He had originally thought that he could start preparing to publish his paper only after he had resolved all the issues raised at the seminar.

"water?"

Yuan Xinyi was both amused and exasperated. "If this is considered 'water' (meaning low quality), then 99% of the papers in the world are garbage!"

"You're not planning to solve all the problems before publishing a paper, are you?"

Seeing Chen Hui's expression, he felt that Chen Hui most likely really thought that way.

"If we published papers like you, most researchers in the world would starve."

Yuan Xinyi shook his head, "The team I led spent fifteen years trying to solve the geometric Langlands conjecture!"

"If we wait until the final results are available before publishing the paper, how many people can persist like that for fifteen years?"

Over the years, their team has published four articles, including one of the top four journals. It is because of this that their team has been able to continuously obtain support from various grants, have sufficient research funding, and allow team members to enjoy a fairly good life.

He was never an ascetic. If researchers can't even make a living, how can they concentrate on doing research?

Yuan Xinyi looked at Chen Hui and said seriously, "Perhaps you can, but you are destined to lead a team in the future. Modern mathematical research is no longer about individual heroism. Even if you don't think about yourself, you will have to think about your team members."

"Moreover, your achievement itself is of high quality and has nothing to do with water. If you organize the proof process properly and fill in some content, it will be a very high-quality paper. Just think about how excited Professor Adrien is. You can imagine how popular your paper will be among condensed matter physics researchers after it is published."

"Can this really be called water?"

"If you solve all the problems Yunwei raised, you could be a top-tier job!"

Yuan Xinyi smiled bitterly.

Chen Hui nodded.

At the same time, I was also a little excited.

The Big Four?
Has he finally ventured into this field?

He hadn't forgotten the 500,000 yuan bonus that Wang Qiming had promised him.

If writing a paper is this simple, wouldn't it be possible to achieve freedom of attribute points in the future?
I don't know if there will be an experience penalty. Just like in games, when you reach a higher level, you often don't get much experience from refreshing the small monsters in the village.

But that's not important. What's important now is to write my first paper!

Yuan Xinyi took out his phone and said, "I sent you a contact on WeChat. That's your senior brother. If you have any questions about writing your paper, just ask him. Once you've finished writing it, give it to me to take a look. I'll publish it after I've reviewed it."

After explaining a lot of things, Yuan Xinyi left the meeting room, even he himself felt that he had been a bit long-winded.

He wasn't originally a patient person. As a genius, he cherished his time. But how could he not be patient with a student like this?

Just like the editors at a certain Chinese website, many struggling writers complain that the editors are aloof and rarely say more than two words a year. But for top-tier writers and platinum-level authors, the editors would love to talk to them every day.

Let alone top-tier authors with platinum status, even those with tens of thousands of subscribers will receive proactive comfort and guidance from editors to prevent them from ceasing updates.

The goddess you fawn over is someone else's simp; that's probably just how things are in this world.

Lost in thought, Yuan Xinyi went to the fifth floor and entered his teacher Tian Yang's office.

"Teacher, I'm here."

"Here you go, sit down."

Tian Yang sat on the office sofa, with a complete tea set on the coffee table in front of him.

In China, older people seem to enjoy drinking tea.

Yuan Xinyi knew about his teacher's habit, but today, besides a complete tea set and boiling water, there was also a bag of oranges on the coffee table.
"Try it, this was brought back from Huaibei by Xiao Cui."

Tian Yang noticed Yuan Xinyi's gaze and spoke up accordingly.

Yuan Xinyi didn't stand on ceremony. He took an orange, sat down on the sofa, pulled the trash can to his feet, and started peeling the orange.

As soon as Yuan Xinyi started playing, he sensed something was wrong.

This orange is a bit difficult to peel.

However, it only took a few minutes to peel an orange, and Yuan Xinyi subconsciously broke off half and handed it to the teacher.

Tian Yang waved his hand, "I just ate, you can eat by yourself."

Yuan Xinyi glanced at the empty trash can and had a feeling that the teacher's gesture of making him eat an orange had a deeper meaning.

hiss!
After taking one bite, Yuan Xinyi's facial features contorted.

acid!
So sour!
Yuan Xinyi felt like he was eating a lemon, not an orange!
"How about it?"

Tian Yang asked at the opportune moment.

"It's a little sour." Yuan Xinyi looked at the teacher with an innocent expression. Given his reaction just now, he really didn't have the courage to lie and say it was delicious.

"Sour is just right!"

Tian Yang nodded, "How could the oranges from Huaibei not be sour?"

He looked at Yuan Xinyi meaningfully, "Oranges grown south of the Huai River are sweet oranges, but those grown north of the Huai River are bitter oranges. Don't you understand this principle?"

Oh!
understood!

Yuan Xinyi suddenly realized.

But he pretended not to know, saying, "The teacher is right!"

"However, with today's advanced technology, we have long since achieved hybridization and grafting techniques, as well as greenhouse cultivation. Now, even in Huaibei, we can grow delicious oranges. It's just that you haven't encountered good oranges yet. Next time I go to Huaibei, I will definitely bring some delicious oranges back for you."

"I won't keep you in suspense any longer. You know that kid's talent. He's only sixteen years old, yet he can complete this level of research independently. Even Gauss wasn't that good back then. Sending him to Jiangcheng University would be a waste. Why don't we send him to Yanbei instead?"

Forget about Huaibei or not, these oranges were just bought by Tian Yang's assistant. The only criterion was that they had to be sour enough.

Since Yuan Xinyi was pretending to be ignorant, he decided to be frank and speak plainly.

Ok!

They want Chen Hui to come to Yanbei and become their junior brother!
Yuan Xinyi had a headache.

"Teacher, it's not that I'm unwilling, but Chen Hui has already signed a contract with Jiangcheng University. I can't make that decision for him."

"You don't need to worry about that. I'll go and communicate with Jiangcheng University."

Tian Yang waved his hand dismissively. Even if it meant using some resources to put pressure on Jiangcheng University and completely offending them, he didn't care. As long as he could get Chen Hui to Yanbei University, it would all be worth it.

"You don't need to be shy. As long as you agree, you can come to Yanbei. Chen Hui can be your student then. How about it?"

Tian Yang, of course, understood his student's little scheme, and without hiding anything, directly revealed his trump card.

Yuan Xinyi shook his head.

Not to mention that Jiangcheng University treated him well, the School of Mathematics fully supported his research. He might not have received such support if he had come to Yanbei University.

His team is also at Jiangcheng University. He himself can certainly come to Yanbei University. With his strength and honors, even without the help of teachers, there would be no obstacle for him to come to Yanbei University. But it is not certain for his team.

Although video conferencing technology is very advanced now, it is still far from face-to-face communication. Mathematicians need face-to-face communication to better inspire their ideas.

Otherwise, why would mathematicians need to fly all over the world to attend lectures? They could just watch videos at home.

"I think it's better to ask Chen Hui for his opinion on this kind of thing."

Yuan Xinyi also made some concessions.

He knew his teacher was right; Yanbei University could offer Chen Hui more and a better environment.

But for mathematical research, there really isn't much difference between Yanbei University and Jiangcheng University.

Therefore, he could compromise and let the teacher contact Chen Hui. If Chen Hui chose Yanbei University himself, he would have nothing to say.
