Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Exclusive
Lin Yimu looked at his father and uncle in confusion and asked, "Dad, what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bohan waved at him. When Lin Yimu sat down beside him, he asked, "Son, is the professor you just mentioned a professor at Peking University Yuanpei College? Is there anything I need to contact you by email?"
Even Jiang Wanlin who was sitting next to him and Jiang Mingxuan who was just in the second grade looked at Lin Yimu with some curiosity, but one's eyes were full of concern, while the other's were full of confusion. Jiang Mingxuan simply saw the adults staring at his cousin and then he looked at the other one.
After hearing his father's question, Lin Yimu did not hide anything and told his father that he had solved the mathematical conjecture and submitted it for publication, and that it had now passed peer review. However, after he finished explaining what happened, he did not receive any response.
Lin Yimu glanced at the two of them in confusion, only to find that his father and uncle were smiling and preparing to make a phone call.
Lin Yimu looked at their actions and asked in confusion, "Dad, uncle, what are you doing?"
Hearing the voice, they both turned their heads to look at Lin Yimu. While waiting for the call to be connected, Lin Bohan said, "Of course, I will call someone to confirm the news and ask when your paper will be published. Of course, I will also have a meal with your teachers and professors to thank them for their guidance."
"Your father is right. Although we don't know whether you can represent the country in the IMO competition, your current achievements are very good. We as parents can't just do nothing." Jiang Wanlin explained with a smile.
Lin Yimu looked at the two men and didn't know what to say. Although it seemed that there was nothing wrong with them doing this, Lin Yimu still hesitated and said, "Dad, there's no need to rush even if we want to treat the teachers to a meal. I still have training to attend in March next year, and I'm not sure what will happen then. What if I fail to make the national team? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Bohan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Your father is a university professor after all. I am sure he knows more about interpersonal relationships than you do. Let's confirm the news about your paper first. Let's not talk about your CMO competition results. Just talking about your paper on mathematical conjecture, if it is really published, then the teachers in the school will probably know about it. In addition, you have already signed a contract with Peking University to study in Peking University Yuanpei College, so interpersonal relationships will definitely be inevitable. However, you don't have to worry about these. These are all matters between me and your mother."
After Lin Bohan finished speaking, the call was connected. He stopped talking to Lin Yimu and started talking to the person on the other end of the phone.
Lin Yimu watched both sides talking on the phone, and knew that they were feeling happy but also a little bit unbelievable at the moment, especially his father Lin Bohan. After all, he knew his own son well.
Just before school started in September, his son was a student with average grades and didn't even care much about studying. However, only three or four months later, his son has transformed from a poor student into a top student. Now he directly claims that he has solved a mathematical conjecture and has even submitted a paper to a journal that has successfully passed the peer review process. Not to mention that the professor who reviewed Lin Yimu's paper also invited him to study at Princeton. If the person involved was not his own son, Lin Bohan would have felt like he was listening to a mindless YY article.
Of course, even if the person involved was his own son, Lin Bohan still had a very mysterious feeling, so after Lin Yimu finished explaining what happened, Jiang Bohan directly took out his cell phone to contact his friends to inquire about the news.
After Lin Bohan finally hung up the phone, Jiang Wanlin on the other side had also finished the call and sat back on the sofa, looking happier than before the call.
After Jiang Wanlin and Lin Bohan sat down on the sofa and calmed down the happy expressions on their faces, they turned their attention to Lin Yimu who was playing with Jiang Mingxuan. Finally, Lin Bohan, as the biological father, spoke up: "Not bad, kid, you are really promising now. I just called my friends at the School of Mathematics of Peking University to ask about the situation, and they have been praising you all the time. You finally know how to do well." As he spoke, a proud smile appeared on his face again, and the look he gave Lin Yimu was full of satisfaction.
After Lin Bohan happily finished talking about other people's compliments to Lin Yimu, he turned the topic back and said, "I have already inquired about it. Although the other party does not know when your paper will be published, based on past experience, as long as it passes peer review in mathematics journals, it is basically stable. The earliest it will be published is next month, and the latest will be March next year."
Jiang Wanlin, who was also very happy sitting next to him, gave the same answer, but he also gave Lin Yimu more specific information, that is, his peer review had basically passed, the paper had been handed over to the editor, and the only uncertainty was the publication date.
As for why Jiang Wanlin had such accurate information, it was of course because he himself was developing in Country M. Even though he had returned to China now, he still had some connections there. After all, as a high-end R&D talent, there were still many people who wanted to make friends with him.
When Lin Yimu heard the result, the tension in his heart finally eased and a smile appeared on his face.
Although he felt that he had answered the professor's questions correctly, he was still somewhat worried about the outcome of the review. Although he had been acting very well-behaved and calm, he was still thinking about the matter. He just didn't expect that his father and uncle could actually find out some information, otherwise he would have told the story long ago.
Jiang Wanlin looked at Lin Yimu's happy expression and couldn't help but joked, "Xiaomu, you look like a high school student now. You were so calm just now, you weren't cute at all. When I was your age, I was always very happy every time I got good grades. I wanted everyone to know and praise me, but I couldn't be as calm as you."
Lin Yimu's face turned red when he heard this, and he felt ashamed in his heart. He didn't dare to compare himself with his uncle.
Thinking about Jiang Wanlin's experience, which was even more amazing than his own with the help of the system, Lin Yimu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Uncle, please stop teasing me. How can my achievements compare with yours?"
He recently learned a lot about his uncle's deeds through his father. He has been a genius since he was young. He started skipping grades in elementary school. It only took him three years to go from elementary school to junior high school, and another year and a half to go from junior high school to high school. Although he skipped grades continuously, his academic performance was always the best and he was never squeezed out by others.
He accidentally came into contact with computers in high school and became very interested in this major. So when filling out his application form in his senior year, he chose the computer major at Peking University without hesitation. During his college years, he invented some small software while studying. He even wrote a paper on network security in his senior year, for which he received an admission letter from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. At that time, Jiang Wanlin was only 18 years old.
He went abroad to study when he was 18 years old. Now he is only in his thirties, but he has already obtained multiple degrees including a doctorate and a master's degree. He even worked in the advanced research institute of Country M for several years. If he had not been exposed to only non-programming programs, he might not have been able to return to China until now.
You have to know that the M country's advanced research institute is funded by the M country's government, and some of its research projects even cooperate with their national confidential projects, so it can be seen how difficult it is for Jiang Wanlin to come back.
As for how Jiang Wanlin got in, Lin Yimu did not ask.
Jiang Wanlin saw that Lin Yimu finally revealed a hint of youthfulness. Just when he was about to make a few more jokes, he was called over by Jiang Wanqiu and Alyssa who came out of the kitchen to help serve the dishes. It turned out that the food had been prepared while they were talking.
At the dinner table, Lin Bohan and Jiang Wanqiu talked about Lin Yimu's thesis, and they couldn't hide the relief and pride in their eyes.
Jiang Wanqiu, who had no prior knowledge of the situation, was in disbelief after hearing it, thinking they were having hysterics.
After all, as parents, Jiang Wanqiu and Lin Bohan know their son's character best. Although Lin Yimu was considered smart in the past, he never focused on studying. The fact that his grades were at a mid-level was due to his parents' encouragement and guidance.
Although Jiang Wanqiu had seen the changes in her son since the talent show, and his improvement in academic performance was obvious to all, it was hard for her to believe that her son had transformed from a poor student into a top student in just a few months, and now even transformed into a genius who could solve mathematical conjectures and publish papers. Even with the repeated confirmation of her younger brother, husband, and even Lin Yimu, Jiang Wanqiu still found it hard to believe it for a while.
After a long while, Jiang Wanqiu, who had digested the information, looked at Lin Yimu with a doubtful look, and then looked at Lin Bohan who had been very happy and Jiang Wanlin who was picking up food for his wife. After staring at them for a while, she did not see any other expressions on their faces, so she began to believe what they said.
Alyssa, who heard the news with Jiang Wanqiu, did not doubt anything, because in her opinion Lin Yimu was very outstanding and it was natural for him to be like this now, so she was a little puzzled when she saw Jiang Wanqiu's expression.
Seeing that Jiang Wanqiu finally came back to her senses and reacted, she said, "Sister, you should be happy that Xiaomu is so outstanding. He is the pride of our two families. Don't you think so?" As she spoke, she poked Jiang Wanlin who was sitting next to her.
Jiang Wanlin put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Jiang Wanqiu: “Sister, Alyssa is right. Xiaomu is so smart, you should have some confidence in him. Isn’t there a saying that nephews are like uncles? His brain is as smart as mine, and he will definitely be better than me in the future.”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Alyssa pinched him on the waist.
Jiang Wanqiu was not unhappy after hearing this, but Lin Bohan, who was sitting next to Jiang Wanqiu, was unhappy. "I don't object to your previous sentence, but I don't like the fact that my nephew looks like his uncle and is as smart as you. My son must take after me!"
Lin Yimu listened to the conversation of the adults at the dinner table, which had shifted from his thesis to who he looked like. He glanced at the two grown men speechlessly but did not say anything. Instead, he sat with Jiang Mingxuan and concentrated on eating in unison.
