Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Exclusive
After the midterm exam, the students of Yancheng No. 1 High School relaxed and were in the mood to discuss some gossip inside and outside the school. Of course, the most important thing for good students is their own grades.
Lin Yimu's submitted paper finally received the news that it had been published in early December.
Lin Yi Mu once again became the subject of discussion among students. Even some teachers in the school couldn't help but praise Lin Yi Mu when they saw him, and often mentioned the name Lin Yi Mu to educate students.
As a result, many students who were originally unaware of the situation now know that Lin Yimu has solved a mathematical conjecture, and his paper has even been published in a Zone 2 journal. This has put even more pressure on the former top students in Lin Yimu's class, and they couldn't help but start complaining in front of him that he is not a human being.
The midterm exam papers were handed out that day, and the head teacher said with a smile on his face: "I believe everyone has already known the results of this midterm exam. The average score of our class is much higher than the last monthly exam, and some students have even made great progress in their grades."
Then he looked in the direction of Mo Shanshan and said, "Especially Mo Shanshan, her score in this exam ranked among the top 50 in the grade, which is a significant improvement compared to last time."
When Mo Shanshan heard what the teacher said, a bit of joy appeared on her face. Before, she was addicted to reading novels which affected her performance and she did not advance in the competition. Her parents even scolded her for this. Since then, she has been studying hard and her performance has gradually improved from outside the top 100 at the beginning.
After praising Mo Shanshan, the head teacher changed the subject and talked about Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei.
"However, the most commendable students this time are Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei. Even though they have been absent from classes for such a long time, they have still maintained their first and second place in the grade in this exam. But even so, you can't be complacent." The head teacher paused here, glanced at the other students in the class, smiled and joked, "I also hope that the students can learn from Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei, and strive to have a student knock them off the list in the next test!"
The students who were originally listening to the head teacher quietly complained half-seriously as soon as the head teacher finished speaking: "Teacher, I think it's more realistic for you to let them perform poorly in the exam or get a stomachache instead of pinning your hopes on us getting rid of these two monsters. With these two here, we can only dream of getting first or second place."
"That's right. You know how talented they are. Maybe even if they get sick and have diarrhea on the day of the exam, it won't stop them from getting first place."
"Teacher, please stop teasing us. With these two monsters, Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei, our class's average score and ranking are always first. You're lucky you're not secretly happy about it."
Because Zhou Shaoyuan, the head teacher and math teacher, is not much older than these students, the relationship between teacher and students is not as restrained and tense as that between ordinary teachers and students. They get along very casually and have more common topics, so occasional jokes like this are common, and neither side takes it seriously at all.
Zhou Shaoyuan listened to the students' joking complaints, but he actually knew that they were just talking. Students in Class 1 had basically been excellent since childhood so they were also proud of themselves. Even if their grades were not as good as Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei, they definitely didn't have any bad intentions, otherwise they would have taken action this semester.
"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet. Class is about to start. Whoever makes trouble again will be made to stand outside as punishment." Zhou Shaoyuan said helplessly, waving his hand at a group of naughty boys below.
In the following days, in addition to attending classes peacefully, Lin Yimu absorbed the knowledge he needed to learn according to the system's requirements. He often went to the library with Huang Minglei and Mo Shanshan to borrow books. Whenever the people with him saw the list of books Lin Yimu borrowed, even though they knew that he was a genius who could solve mathematical conjectures, they still felt that their cognition was being refreshed. Even Huang Minglei, who considered himself a genius, was no exception.
Because Lin Yimu borrowed not only books on mathematics, but also some advanced books on physics, chemistry, and biology. They had never even heard of some of the titles.
Of course, because he was about to attend a training camp, Lin Yimu read the most books and knowledge points on mathematics.
After Lin Yimu spent two days studying or reading, he received a call from Professor Wan. The purpose of the call surprised Lin Yimu.
"Professor, are you really not kidding?" Lin Yimu asked again in disbelief.
On the other end of the phone, Professor Wan's kind and gentle voice came slowly, "Of course I'm not joking. This is the result agreed upon by our Yancheng Mathematics Association. This academic discussion is mainly for you to explain your ideas and process of solving mathematical conjectures. We may invite some foreign scholars to come, and some people may raise questions. You just need to answer them well at that time."
Lin Yimu listened to Professor Wan's instructions and inevitably felt a little nervous. "But, Professor Wan, I have never been exposed to these things. I only listened to them for a while when I attended the Beijing University. I'm afraid that I will mess it up."
Professor Wan laughed when he heard this and said, "I believe that with Lin Yimu's ability, you will be fine. This is something that every student will experience, but yours may be particularly special."
When Lin Yimu heard Professor Wan's last sentence, he was speechless for a moment. The other students were just defending their graduation thesis, but his was an academic seminar, and he would be facing a group of Yangtze River Scholars and big names. How could they be the same?
However, Lin Yimu also knew that Professor Wan and the others had good intentions. Although he was a little hesitant and nervous, he still agreed.
After Lin Yimu agreed, Professor Wan on the other end of the phone happily told him the address and time and hung up the phone. He then immediately boasted about it to a professor at the School of Mathematics of Peking University who was also his good friend.
Lin Yimu looked at the hung up phone, thinking about going to the auditorium of Yancheng University to attend an academic seminar next Saturday. He nervously held the phone in his hand, but felt that he still had to write a draft and think over the argumentation process again just in case. It would be embarrassing if he forgot to do it because of nervousness.
…
Saturday was the day Lin Yimu went to Yan University to attend a seminar.
Lin Yimu got up early in the morning, feeling both excited and nervous. After checking again and again that he had nothing left out, he gathered his thoughts and headed towards Yanda.
Arriving at the gate of Yan University, as today was Saturday, there were neither too many nor too few students on campus. Lin Yimu, dressed in casual clothes, had just entered the school gate and had not taken a few steps when he was stopped by Pei Yuchen who suddenly appeared.
"Student Lin Yimu, you are finally here. Professor Wan is waiting for you in the office." As he said this, he pulled Lin Yimu and strode into the school.
Confused, Lin Yimu quickly followed the other person and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Pei, is there something urgent that Professor Wan wants to talk to me about?"
Pei Yuchen didn't step forward at all when he heard that, but he said, "I don't know about that. The professor just asked me to take you to his office."
Lin Yimu picked up the folder that he almost dropped, and reluctantly slowed down his pace and said, "Teacher Pei, you don't have to be so anxious. It's only 7:30 now. Even if Professor Wan wants to see me, I still have to eat breakfast."
Pei Yuchen slowed down his pace and said, "I just wanted to send you to Professor Wan's office as soon as possible so that we can have enough time to discuss anything. The seminar will start at 9 o'clock in the morning, and don't you see that there are already foreigners coming and going on campus? They are all scholars in the field of mathematics from various countries. They arrived in Yancheng two days ago and have been urging the school to hold the seminar earlier so that they can meet you earlier. But they have annoyed the dean and the president."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yimu turned around and looked around. Just now he was so nervous and focused on checking the documents in his hands that he didn't even notice some foreign faces occasionally walking on campus. It was only now that he noticed them after being reminded by Teacher Pei.
"Are they all so anxious? I've been preparing since I received Professor Wan's call, but I'm still a little nervous now." Lin Yimu took a deep breath to ease his emotions and couldn't help but complain.
Pei Yuchen laughed and scolded him when he heard this: "You kid, you are really taking advantage of me. Do you know how many graduate students dream of such an opportunity?"
After that, he began to explain to Lin Yimu why this seminar was held. "After your paper was published, it not only had a significant impact on the mathematics field in our country, but it can be said that mathematicians all over the world are paying attention to you. Many people want to discuss the twin prime conjecture with you. Otherwise, why do you think the Mathematical Association held this seminar, and even held it so grandly, and invited so many foreign scholars? It's not that our Yancheng Mathematical Association has a big reputation, but that many people are waiting to embarrass you."
After listening to Pei Yuchen's explanation, Lin Yimu couldn't help but sigh. Although he was still nervous, he might have gotten used to being nervous, so he was not so nervous at the moment.
"Teacher Pei, I'm not being rude. I'm really nervous because I have no experience. But after your explanation, I'm not so nervous anymore. True gold is not afraid of fire. I'm not afraid of questions when I explain what I calculated myself."
