Chapter 159 Chapter 159 [The problem is solved]
He Xiuji took Lin Yimu to the restaurant where they had eaten hotpot last time, because he still remembered that Lin Yimu said the food here was delicious and even ate too much, so He Xiuji made a reservation early and planned to bring him over in the evening.
This time, Lin Yimu lived up to everyone's expectations and ate his fill, and the two of them started their street trip again.
"If you walk with me, then what about the car you brought?" Lin Yimu asked He Xiuji, who had stood up and was about to walk with him to digest his food.
He Xiu Ji smiled and said, "It's okay. If you leave it here for the time being, it won't be stolen. Just relax." Then he pulled Lin Yi Mu up from his seat and walked out.
Lin Yimu looked at the man who was very active and was about to pull him out as soon as he finished speaking, and followed him slowly out of the private room with some amusement.
The two of them were walking on the neon-lit city streets, looking at the people coming and going around them, and then looking at He Xiu Ji beside him, Lin Yimu had a feeling that the years were peaceful and quiet.
The two walked along the way, sharing their daily life experiences. However, the lives of both of them were very monotonous. One was busy working in the company all day long, and the other was in school every day, either in the classroom or in the library laboratory. There was nothing interesting happening at all. However, the two said some boring words to each other, but they felt very satisfied.
The two walked to a street corner in the city, and Lin Yi Mu saw a newly opened ice cream shop. Looking at the beautiful promotional brochure at the door of the store, Lin Yi Mu suddenly wanted to eat ice cream, and his eyes were fixed on the promotional picture at the door of the store.
He Xiuji, who had been paying attention to Lin Yimu's movements, of course noticed it. He glanced at the store next to him, smiled, and pulled him into the store.
Lin Yimu looked at He Xiuji who had pulled him over with some surprise, "Why did you pull me here?"
He Xiuji turned around and tapped his forehead lovingly, saying, "Look how greedy you are. You're staring at other people's store and you can hardly move." Then he walked into the store, found a table and sat down.
Lin Yimu laughed a little embarrassedly when he heard this, "I just suddenly saw it and wanted to eat it. After all, the weather is hot now. I just finished eating hot pot and wanted to eat something cold."
"I know. Look quickly and see what you want to eat. But don't eat too much. You just ate spicy food, and if you eat too much cold food, you'll get diarrhea. That's not good." He Xiuji looked at Lin Yimu's hand holding the menu helplessly and smiled.
"Yeah, I got it, I got it." Lin Yimu responded perfunctorily while looking at the list, then quickly flipped through the menu and ordered an ice cream hotpot with a wide variety of dishes.
When He Xiuji saw the large serving of ice cream hotpot brought over by the waiter, his expression became a little helpless and unpleasant, and he no longer looked as cool and noble as before.
"You, order such a big portion, can you finish it? You don't even consider whether your stomach can handle it."
"Hehe, don't worry, I know my limits." After saying this with a smile, he filled a bowl for He Xiuji and placed it in front of him. Lin Yimu then filled his own bowl while continuing, "Besides, we've been on the road for so long just now, and the food we ate has been almost digested."
As Lin Yimu spoke, he scooped out a large ball of ice cream and swallowed it in one gulp. He was then startled by the cold, but squinted his eyes in enjoyment. He was reluctant to spit it out, which made He Xiuji feel helpless and amused.
"Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch the food from you." He then called the waiter and asked for a glass of warm water for Lin Yimu to warm him up.
Lin Yimu refused the hot water brought by the waiter, and said while enjoying the ice cream: "No need for hot water, I like the cool and smooth taste of ice cream, don't eat it too much."
He Xiu Ji sighed helplessly upon hearing this, and did not try to persuade him anymore. Instead, he went to the waiter to help him buy some medicine just in case.
When the two came out of the store, He Xiuji was holding a bag of medicine in his hand, while Lin Yimu was walking slowly, rubbing his bloated stomach.
He Xiuji also followed Lin Yimu with a helpless look on his face. Seeing that he kept rubbing his stomach, he shook his head and said, "You must have eaten too much. Take some digestive tablets. Don't eat like this next time. If you do this too often, even the best stomach won't be able to handle it."
He Xiuji said good-temperedly as he took out the box of digestive tablets from the bag, broke off a few pills and handed them to Lin Yimu.
Lin Yimu listened to He Xiuji's mumbling with a bitter face, but he also obediently took the digestive tablets handed to him and ate them obediently. Then he said pitifully: "I just couldn't help it for a moment. I thought it would be okay to eat more, so this is it."
Upon hearing this, He Xiu Ji just rubbed his forehead lovingly and said nothing more. Instead, he held his hand and continued walking on the road to digest the food. However, the direction they walked was not the way back, but to the restaurant where they had eaten hot pot before, intending to drive the car back and just in time to digest the food when they arrived.
…
The next day, Lin Yimu returned to school and before he had time to put down his things, Director Jia from the Mathematical Research Center of Peking University called him to his office.
"Director, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Lin Yimu asked curiously as soon as he arrived at Director Jia's office.
Director Jia looked at the young man in front of him with his eyes wide open, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
He had agreed to let Lin Yimu join the Digital Research Center because of his great potential. Now, watching the young man achieve his current success step by step, Director Jia felt not only emotion, but also pride and relief.
Although he is not a professor or scholar engaged in research, he is also engaged in a related profession and is very concerned about the scientific research situation in his country. Ever since Lin Yimu emerged, Director Jia has firmly believed that Lin Yimu will achieve great success in the future, and now he has really lived up to everyone's expectations.
Although he was filled with emotion, Director Jia did not forget the purpose of calling him here. He smiled amiably and said, "Don't worry. I have good news for you today."
At this point, Director Jia paused and looked at Lin Yimu, who looked puzzled. Seeing that he really didn't know, he continued, "Your application for the prize for your second mathematical conjecture has been approved. It is said that the prize money this time is a full two million US dollars."
Director Jia stopped talking here and looked at Lin Yi Mu for a while as if he was looking at a rare species. Although he didn't know why the Renault Research Laboratory suddenly released the withheld bonus, Director Jia felt that this was a good thing. After all, it indirectly proved Lin Yi Mu's innocence. It was just a pity that he still couldn't apply for the award this year.
"Ah? Didn't they say before that the thesis theft incident would affect the distribution of bonuses and the application for awards? Why is the bonus being distributed again now?" Lin Yimu asked in confusion and surprise.
Upon hearing this, Director Jia collected his thoughts and looked at Lin Yimu, who was in surprise and confusion, and said: "No matter what the reason is that Renault Laboratory changed its decision, it is a good thing for you. It also proves your innocence. Although the progress of the award application has not changed, the situation is generally improving. Maybe the progress of the award review will be pushed forward soon." Director Jia smiled optimistically and expressed his thoughts.
When Lin Yimu heard this, he was thinking about something else. Since his application for the prize for mathematical conjectures was approved, did it mean that the previous accusation that he had stolen other people's papers had been investigated?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi Mu chatted with Director Jia about his newly published paper related to drug experiments. Then Lin Yi Mu quickly returned to the dormitory and called Zhang Hechang.
After listening to Zhang Hechang's explanation, Lin Yimu finally understood why Renault Laboratory changed its decision.
Because of this incident, Country Z won the competition. Even Country M's Minister of Propaganda, who was causing trouble, became the abandoned chess piece because Country M lost the competition between the two countries and took away his position as the other party's Minister of Propaganda.
In fact, many countries have seen the trick in this matter, so they have been watching the development of the situation.
Now that the results are out, they have also seen that Country Z is gradually becoming stronger, but after all, they don't take Country Z completely to heart. For the sake of their own status and their attitude of doing things impartially, they gave the bonus that they had been holding back to Lin Yimu.
As for the organizing committees of the award applications, they are protecting their reputation and will not relax their review of Lin Yimu until the final result is out. Some professors and scholars simply do not pay attention to these things and are still investigating out of responsibility for the awards. This is also the reason why Lin Yimu still cannot apply for the award this year.
However, Lin Yimu doesn't care so much about these things now. He just wants to know when the final truth of this matter will be announced. Although this matter can no longer affect him now, he actually doesn't want to carry this kind of reputation forever. After all, people look at him with strange eyes wherever he goes, and that feeling is not something that can be completely ignored.
What's more, when the incident just happened, Lin Yimu was verbally abused and even ridiculed by his alumni in front of him, which is still fresh in his memory.
Hearing Lin Yimu's question, Zhang Hechang hesitated for a moment, fearing that Lin Yimu would be disappointed, but still said: "The truth of this matter is still being discussed on how to expose it appropriately, so it may not be announced for a while, you need to be patient and wait."
Lin Yi Mu was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled happily for a while and then said, "It doesn't matter. I've waited for so long, I don't mind waiting a little longer." After saying that, Lin Yi Mu was so happy that he wanted to share his joy with He Xiu Ji immediately.
However, before hanging up the phone, Lin Yimu still thanked Zhang Hechang who had always helped him and was always available at his call, and then happily told He Xiuji the good news of the day.
But Lin Yimu didn’t have to wait too long. Two days later, CCTV.com suddenly posted a Weibo post, which aroused discussions among netizens and made them understand that Lin Yimu had the support of the country.
However, what is attracting more attention now is the paper on drug research that Lin Yimu uploaded to arXIV last night.
