Chapter 258 Interview
Su Yi also saw several familiar faces in the Institute of Mathematics. They were all old professors she had met with her teacher before, and even Professor Huang, her team leader when she took the IMO exam.
Professor Huang saw Gu Suyi and said with a smile, "Student Gu, you are really amazing!"
Su Yi smiled shyly: "Professor Huang, you are too polite."
"I originally thought you'd have to wait at least a few years before joining the Institute of Mathematics, but I didn't expect you to get in so quickly. I heard that you published the paper proving the new Mersenne conjecture?"
Su nodded.
"Well done, young and promising!" Professor Huang praised, feeling deeply moved. He knew from before that this girl was extraordinary, but he did not expect that she would progress so quickly. In just three years, she went from being the full score champion of IMO to independently proving a mathematical conjecture.
Then Mr. Yang personally took Su Yi to get to know people.
Actually, Su Yi is the youngest researcher in their Institute of Mathematics. He is very precious and needs to be taken good care of.
Just before the holiday, Su Yi was in the laboratory writing a paper when Vice President Wang suddenly came with some people.
"Su Yi, someone from the education channel is here and wants to do a brief interview with you."
"Interview?" Su was stunned.
"Yes, didn't you publish a paper in an SCI journal? They want to interview you," Vice Dean Wang said with a smile. "Just say a few words. You've brought honor to Qingdao University!"
The news that Su Yi published a paper in an SCI journal has spread, and it was in the most difficult section, proving the new Mason conjecture. Qingdao University's mathematics department also became popular again because of her, and its international ranking has risen a lot.
Now the entire mathematics department regards Su Yi as a delicious bun, and they wish everyone could have a bite of him. Maybe he can have some special effects like Tang Monk's meat, such as gaining some mathematical inspiration.
When the reporters and planners of the education channel heard that a student from Qingdao University had solved a world-class mathematical problem, they naturally could not miss the opportunity to interview him. Then, when they asked, they found out that the student was a freshman.
At first, they didn't connect the person with Gu Suyi, after all, she was from the Computer Department. However, when they heard the dean introduce her name, Planner Wang was a little confused.
"Is it Gu Suyi, the student who entered the school with full marks last year?"
"It's her." Vice President Wang nodded.
"But isn't she from the computer department?"
"She chose to major in both computer science and mathematics."
The planner couldn't help but recall that his leader was still somewhat dissatisfied with Su Yi's sudden decision not to participate in the finals. He also didn't quite understand why he suddenly gave up when he was just one step away from winning the championship.
Who would have thought that they were going there to solve difficult mathematical problems? Compared to publishing papers in SCI journals, their show is definitely not important!
"Hello, Mr. Gu, we meet again." The reporter was also a reporter whom he had met once before, and the other party greeted him with a smile.
"Hello." Su nodded.
At this time, Su Yi was still wearing a white coat, and his hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin that looked like chopsticks. His whole temperament became more gentle and confident.
The interview officially begins——
"Student Gu Suyi, as far as I know, you have just proved a new mathematical conjecture called the New Mersenne Conjecture. Why did you choose this conjecture to prove?"
"It was actually quite unexpected. I didn't actively try to prove this mathematical conjecture. Instead, I chose it to strengthen my computer studies while preparing for the National College Student Programming Contest. Plus, I'm good at number theory, so I proved it quite unexpectedly."
"How did you feel at that time?"
"I was actually very excited at the time, perhaps too excited, and ended up in the hospital. Fortunately, the examination showed nothing was wrong; it was just brain overexertion. It took me almost a week to actually prove it, and that was with the guidance of my teacher. So I'm very grateful to my teacher, Professor Zhang Yuan."
…
The interview was over in half an hour.
After returning home, Wang told his boss about this. The boss was in a daze for a while before coming back to his senses, his expression becoming complicated. "No wonder she insisted on rejecting our finals. Fortunately, we didn't insist on disturbing her, otherwise we would all have to leave the TV station by now."
This is a genius who has already entered the national spotlight. If they really interrupt her from making that mathematical conjecture, it would be an unforgivable crime.
Qingdao University reposted this video with the caption: No. 1 sister’s academic life, no explanation needed.
[What the hell, what the hell???]
[…Is this still a top student? This is simply a god of learning, okay?!]
[So, is this why the top female contestant wasn't in the finals of "The Strongest Scholar"? The production team kept explaining it, but now I think they just didn't dare to explain it!]
…
As expected, Weibo exploded again.
