Chapter 72: Ask her to endorse health products?

"Actually, the famous mathematical hermit Gregory previously published a paper proving the Poincaré conjecture. I've read it all. There are also quite a few mathematical groups internationally who are sorting out some details and loopholes in Gregory's proof. I was lucky enough to find one, and during discussions with the professor, I seem to have discovered another solution. However, it seems we've hit a bottleneck..."

Brother Li: “…”

What did he hear?

That's the Poincare conjecture, one of the seven great mathematical problems. Could this 15-year-old girl have actually deduced an alternative solution?!

It would be disastrous if this got out. I guess mathematicians all over the world would go crazy!

Su Yi seemed to have guessed what Brother Li was thinking and smiled. "Don't overthink it, Senior Brother. The professor was the one who actually came up with the important steps in the proof. I don't have the ability to independently prove such a great mathematical problem. After all, it's the Millennium Prize problem."

The Millennium Prize Problem, also known as the world's seven greatest mathematical problems, is a collection of seven mathematical conjectures selected and announced by the Clay Mathematics Institute in the United States. After Su Yi came into contact with mathematics, she became more and more interested in these problems. However, although she had a cheat, she was not good enough to solve the world's most difficult mathematical problems independently.

At least not now, maybe it will be possible after she opens the advanced points mall.

Professor Zhang Yuan is undoubtedly a guiding light in her mathematical research.

If she hadn't formally become a disciple yet, she would also call Professor Zhang Yuan "teacher".

After a long pause, Little Li said in a gloomy tone, "No wonder the teacher recommended you. It turns out he thinks we're useless. Before, we hadn't even figured out Gregory's proof of the Poincaré conjecture, but you've already figured out a second way to prove it."

Even though they were separated by the phone, Su Yi inexplicably heard a resentful tone from the other party's voice, like that of a nagging woman, and he felt the hairs on his body stand up.

They had been chatting for almost an hour. If Liu Mei hadn't knocked on the door and called her to eat, Brother Li would probably have continued chatting.

Soon, they finalized their thesis for the Holtz Prize in Mathematics. Brother Li was even confident that with the help of their teacher and the participation of their talented junior schoolmate, they would definitely be able to win the highest award!

…

On New Year's Eve, Su Yi unexpectedly received a call from Su Mingzhi, asking her to go back to Su's house for lunch. Gu Dashan and Liu Mei expressed their understanding and even asked her to bring the gift they had chosen.

Su Mingzhi's youngest son Su Ruicheng is about to turn one year old. He is now at the age of crawling on the ground. He is not shy towards Su Yi, his sister whom he has only met two or three times. He crawls to her side and hugs her legs.

Su Yi handed the gift to the nanny, then bent down and picked up the little guy: "Xiao Cheng has grown fat again, and sister can hardly hold him anymore."

He Yan smiled and said, "That's right. This little guy is almost 24 kilograms. The doctor said he needs to keep his weight under control."

"It's okay, you'll grow up when you grow up. We are so cute now, aren't we, Xiaocheng?" Su Yi teased him.

Su Ruicheng was amused and laughed.

After playing with the little guy for a while, Su Yi casually mentioned, "Where's Wanwan?"

The smile on He Yan's face faded a little: "Wanwan went to Fang's house and will be back in the evening."

Su Yi was surprised: "Have she and Fang Lingyi developed so quickly? They even went to each other's house for the New Year?"

"Let's get engaged after we graduate from high school. Since both families have communicated, it won't be a big deal." He Yan mentioned Su Wanwan, and her tone didn't seem as caring as before. She reached out and took her little son from her arms, "By the way, your dad is waiting for you in the study."

"Okay, I'll come down later to play with Xiao Cheng."

When Su Yi arrived at the study, before he knocked on the door, Su Mingzhi said, "Su Yi, come in."

"Godfather." Su Yi called out.

Su Mingzhi smiled and nodded, inviting her to sit over.

He first asked about Su Yi's recent academic performance and the Gu couple's recent business situation, and then talked about Xiao Cheng. After about ten minutes, he told them the purpose of asking Su Yi to return to the Su family today.

"Dad has a friend who works for a GG company. He wants to shoot a GG video about student health products and wants you to be the spokesperson. Of course, the endorsement fee will definitely be high."

Ever since Su Yi became a little famous for her impressive academic performance, many manufacturers have wanted her to endorse so-called brain-boosting health products, but she rejected them all on the grounds that "study is the most important thing, don't consider other things." Unexpectedly, they still didn't give up and actually came to her through Su Mingzhi.

"Sorry, I can't agree to that." Su Yi shook his head.

Su Mingzhi seemed to have guessed that Su Yi would refuse, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he asked, "Are you busy studying?"

"I will participate in the national team training for the Mathematical Olympiad in March next year, and then represent the country in the IMO in June. The training team has signed an agreement prohibiting members from participating in any commercial activities. Moreover, I recently joined Professor Zhang Yuan's team in the Department of Mathematics at C University and am preparing to compete in the next Holtz Prize in Mathematics, so I cannot agree to your friend's request." Su Yi directly gave the reason for Su Mingzhi to stop trying to persuade her.
