Chapter 344: Opening the Mountain
"You are the winner of the five gold medals and the individual all-around award of the Qiu Competition. Your academic achievements are amazing!" Wu Tong praised sincerely. "This is something I have never achieved!"
It’s embarrassing to say that after she entered university, she accidentally stepped into the field of materials, accidentally came into contact with aerospace, and touched upon confidential projects. Throughout her university years, she went off track in her research and was really not a good role model for a student!
"That's because you didn't participate in the Qiu Competition last year!" Su Dongyi was a little embarrassed by Wu Tong's praise. Compared with Professor Wu's brilliance, he only had the opportunity to win the all-around award and the other five gold awards because Professor Wu graduated early in April and didn't participate in the Qiu Competition in June. If Professor Wu participated, they would only have the chance to compete for the second place.
"Hehehe... Xiao Su's words are very honest!" The professors laughed out loud in good faith. I don't know if they should regret that Wu Tong graduated too quickly and was unable to collect the awards for the university competition. However, compared with the achievements Wu Tong had made, one conjecture after another, the university competitions seemed a bit like playing house to her.
"If Wu Tong participates, it will be a bit like bullying a kid!" Li Yisheng smiled brightly. It was not because he was unkind, but because Wu Tong's achievements were too shocking at home and abroad. Since Wu Tong entered school, no one treated him as an ordinary student. And Wu Tong's performance was beyond their imagination. The Goldbach conjecture was proved, so why did they keep Wu Tong in school?
Wouldn't that be humiliating to Wu Tong? Who else could the school find to teach the prover of the guess? If Wu Tong wasn't allowed to graduate, it would be Beijing University that would be embarrassed! Who could be Wu Tong's mentor? Therefore, the school had a very unified opinion at that time, and made special arrangements to let Wu Tong graduate early. Wu Tong deserved any degree!
Wu Tong asked Su Dongyi several basic and advanced questions. On the basic questions, Su Dongyi showed her the solid foundation of the winner of the five gold medals of the Qiu Sai Competition and the individual all-around award. On the advanced questions, although Su Dongyi's answers could not be said to be perfect, his direction and extension of thinking were correct. Wu Tong pointed out a few key points and he immediately solved the problem.
He truly demonstrated in front of everyone his keen mathematical thinking, associative ability, and comprehension ability, all of which are excellent.
"Why did you want to study mathematics?" After asking the question, Wu Tong asked some extended questions within the time limit.
"My parents both teach architecture. Maybe it was the influence of my family that I have been interested in learning since I was a child. Later, I read the book "Hualuokang Mathematics School" by chance. The content inside made me fall in love with mathematics. I participated in the Olympic training class in junior high and high school. The more I got into it, the more I wanted to find out more and go further on this road!" Su Dongyi smiled a little naively, but his grades were not ambiguous at all.
Therefore, Wu Tong did not hold back and asked directly and clearly: "I am very satisfied with your personal performance. You have truly proved your excellence. Thank you for your trust. Are you sure you want to apply to be my graduate student?
Even if I have a research project, I may not be able to take care of you. In addition, this is my first time to guide students, and I may not have much experience in guiding students. I am lacking in this aspect. I believe that with your resume, any mentor here would be willing to be your mentor and recruit you as a graduate student!"
She sensed Su Dongyi's sincerity and excellence. Choice is a two-way street, and she also wanted to let her students know about her shortcomings.
"Of course, I have a fairly independent ability to learn on my own. If you assign me learning tasks, I will definitely cooperate with the learning to the best of my ability. If you don't have time, I will list the problems first and try to find ways to solve them. If there is really no way to solve them, I will concentrate on asking you for advice!" Su Dongyi nodded in confirmation without any hesitation.
Of course, he knew that the teachers present would be willing to accept him as a student. Even before, he had never dared to imagine that Wu Tong would take ordinary graduate students. He thought that they, who were about to graduate from undergraduate school, would not have the opportunity to participate in Wu Tong's recruitment interview. Unexpectedly, Wu Tong's recruitment started from the most basic level, and they all had the opportunity, and the teacher also encouraged them to participate.
From a high vantage point, he must want to be Professor Wu's student to get the guidance of Wu Tong. Although Professor Wu is younger than him, the age of a teacher is never a problem! Professor Wu is a real person who makes people realize that there is always someone better than you.
When she was still somewhat happy about winning two IMO full score gold medals, Professor Wu, who was also 17 or 18 years old, had already conquered the world, proving Zhou's conjecture, twin prime conjecture, Polignac conjecture, infinite group theory, Goldbach's conjecture, and NS-equation...
The brilliant achievements made him sober up immediately, calm down, and devote himself to study with a more humble and open mind. Only then did he win the Qiu Saiwu Grand Prize and the Individual All-Around Award last summer, which gave him a solid foundation that Wu Tong praised. The person he should thank the most and admired the most was Professor Wu, so he was very sure that he was willing to become Professor Wu's student.
"Okay, thank you for your trust. Go back and wait for my notification. If nothing unexpected happens, we will get along well as future students and students!" Wu Tong smiled and announced the decision on the spot, leaving no room for suspense. Since it was confirmed, there was no need to hide it. This has always been Wu Tong's simple way of dealing with things.
"If I'm really busy with my research in the future, I'll ask Teacher Li and Professor Xu to help me with my teaching!" Although it was her first time to be a teacher, Wu Tong didn't intend to use this as an excuse to be perfunctory. Unfamiliarity and perfunctory are two different words. She still has to be careful and attentive to her students.
The school is willing to hand over such good seedlings and talents to her for education. She must be responsible to the school and the students themselves.
"Thank you, teacher. I will go back and prepare well!" After getting Wu Tong's permission on the spot, Su Dongyi couldn't help but smile with surprise. He didn't expect that Professor Wu would be so straightforward and tell him the result immediately without any delay. Such a character undoubtedly made him more determined in his choice.
There will definitely be no accidents, he won't allow himself to have any chance of accidents!
"Haha... Congratulations to Wu Tong for getting her first disciple!" Pan Wenhua and the others smiled and bowed their hands in celebration. The first student was from their Peking University. As expected, their Peking University students have achieved excellent results. The School of Mathematics will have another rising star in the future. They have one more leader! As long as you look at Wu Tong's cautious and clear attitude, no one will doubt that she is not a good mentor!
