Chapter 204 Interview

To Jingda and Wu Tong's surprise, the 4,000 places they reserved were not enough at all, and the number of people who eagerly signed up far exceeded the target!

After the time and place of the academic seminar on the proof of the Goldbach conjecture were determined, applications came in like snowflakes. The appeal of Wu Tong and the Goldbach conjecture together was beyond everyone's imagination.

After final statistics, in such a short period of time, the number of visitors who made appointments from home and abroad has reached nearly 10,000. The Shangjing Conference Center simply does not have the capacity to host meetings for so many people.

For a moment, the top leaders of Kyoto University didn't know whether they should be happy to have so many mathematicians visiting or worried about where to find a venue for so many people.

All the senior executives were stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Of course, after a brief moment of distress, they were secretly happy. This was a sweet little burden, not a problem.

After her parents officially started working, Wu Tong took a few days off and returned to school to prepare for a lecture. She also deduced another practical special steel direction in her previous research on projectile materials.

Just as they were listing venues that could accommodate 10,000 people for a meeting, a notice came from above that the largest 10,000-person conference hall in the Great Hall of the People would be loaned out for Wu Tong to hold an academic conference.

"The Great Hall of the People?" Wu Tong was a little incredulous when she heard the news Zhou Wenping told her in person. She could hold an academic seminar in such a sacred place? This was too glorious!

According to her grandfather, it was definitely a big surprise that brought honor to the family.

"Yes, the Great Hall of the People!" Zhou Wenping smiled and nodded in confirmation. He was not joking. Zhou Wenping was both surprised and expected by the above decision.

Wu Tong's achievements can be said to be the glory of China, which has made China stand out in the world. Wu Tong can now be said to have become a new name card for Chinese mathematics.

It is also said that Wu Tong's contribution to the country may be even greater in secret!

This is a normal arrangement to provide convenience for Wu Tong.

Compared to that, the next piece of news was even more shocking. He introduced Wu Tong to a man with a warm look and extraordinary temperament, "This is Secretary Yang from the Secretariat of the State Council!"

"Hello, Director Yang, thank you for your trouble!" Wu Tong thanked him, and the State Council sent someone to contact him. "I have caused trouble for the country!" The teachers had taught her that the secretaries of the secretariat were basically the directors of a certain office, so it should not be wrong to call him Director Yang.

"Hello, just call me Xiao Yang!" Having proved such a top-notch conjecture, Wu Tong's importance is now no longer equal to that of an academician, but is better than that of an academician. Although he does serve as the director of an office, he is not worthy of the honorific title of Director Yang from such a top scholar.

The Chinese mathematical community needs a sufficiently representative figure like Wu Tong, especially since Wu Tong is still very young and has been able to stay in the Chinese mathematical community for a long time. He is a true Chinese citizen.

They missed out on Mr. Qiu, Terence Tao and others before, and now Wu Tong has appeared. If they can't seize the opportunity, then they will be in trouble!

Today, Wu Tong has gained fame and attention on an international scale. She has received countless invitations from top international universities and mathematics-related organizations. The various favorable conditions they have promised her are temptations that have attracted countless people.

Compared with the temptations that are enough to dazzle people's eyes, there is also a more superior academic atmosphere! According to the latest developments they have learned, the mathematical sanctuary of Paris, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton...

These existences that so many people yearn for have all sent Wu Tong sincere invitations, and Wu Tong can set any conditions.

"Student Wu Tong, is your time convenient? The elder wants to see you, and I'm honored to receive you!"

As soon as the invitation came out, even Zhou Wenping couldn't help but feel envious. Although he was a senior official in Beijing University, he still had never personally talked to that person. He was not qualified to be received by that person.

Wu Tong already has such an opportunity. It is not based on the leader's time, but on Wu Tong's time. It is an enviable and proud treatment.

"Of course, I'm honored, please arrange it!" Wu Tong was so surprised to be received by the elder that she was a little overwhelmed. She really had no preparation and it was hard to take it lightly. After calming down her excitement, Wu Tong immediately nodded to confirm.

It's not like she hasn't met high-level leaders before. Leaders Wu and Liu who had visited before were both high-level leaders of the department/team. General Manager Lin and Director Chu were leaders of the aerospace and scientific research departments. However, this one was very different from those leaders.

"The car is waiting downstairs, please come in!" The genius scholar was not arrogant, and the work went smoothly. Secretary Yang's attitude became even more friendly.

Wu Tong packed up his things, said goodbye to Zhou Wenping, and followed Secretary Yang into the special car parked downstairs, heading to the National Academy. Secretary Yang had already reported before leaving.

After arriving at the National Academy, Secretary Yang led Wu Tong into a spacious reception room. The reception room was simply decorated but had a solemn atmosphere. The red flag plug-in on the table was the best embellishment here.

"The leader has made time as quickly as possible and will be here in ten minutes. Please wait!" Secretary Yang raised his hand to check the time and said softly.

"Leader, please focus on the affairs of the country first. I am not in a hurry!" Wu Tong nodded gently. She was not good at socializing to begin with, and she felt that she would not have any social interaction with Secretary Yang in the future. Naturally, she did not want to have any social interaction with Secretary Yang.

Wu Tong stared at the red flag on the table, and continued the previous deduction in her mind. The absence of a pen and notebook did not affect her performance. The deduction process and results would be firmly stored in her memory, and she would write them down when she had time.

Secretary Yang managed the time very accurately. Ten minutes later, the door of the reception room was gently pushed open from the outside. A familiar face often seen on TV news walked in. The elder, who was just over fifty years old and less than sixty years old, still had black hair and a remarkable demeanor.

He looked at Wu Tong and said in a gentle voice, "Student Wu Tong, I'm sorry to have to ask you to come here so hastily!"

Wu Tong's achievements and contributions deserved the honor of a national hero. He stretched out his hands and shook hands with Wu Tong. "Please forgive my impatience. I have been waiting for you to finish your work and find time to talk to you!"

Wu Tong shook hands with him and said excitedly: "It is my honor to meet you!"

"It's not rare to see me. Your achievements in mathematics and contributions to the country are something I should thank you for on behalf of the country!" The elder was very amiable when facing Wu Tong. At his age, if he were a few years older, he would be Wu Tong's grandfather. He smiled kindly and guided Wu Tong to sit down in the adjacent seat.

Secretary Yang made two cups of tea and left the meeting room.
