Chapter 73: Speed
After asking Wu Tong to leave his account number, Dean Pan let Wu Tong go back first.
A genius’ time is precious. If they delay too much, the children may miss out on some inspiration, which means the loss of world-class achievements. They would be committing a sin!
Wu Tong thought that the matter had ended there, but things fermented and spread faster than Wu Tong had imagined. Wu Tong then received a call from home.
"Tongtong, are you the one who proved the world's difficult problem as mentioned in the official newspaper?" Wu Jingzhong's phone call came in while Wu Tong was on his way to the IMO training classroom.
“If there hadn’t been another Wu Tong proving another difficult problem these past two days, it would have been me who was right!” Wu Tong spread her hands. Her father seemed to have realized it a little late.
The county bureau should subscribe to official newspapers, and reading newspapers should be a compulsory course for them. She thought that her family should have known about it yesterday.
"I went to the countryside yesterday and didn't have time to read the official newspapers, but then I heard someone mention that there was a Wu Tong at Peking University who proved some math problem. It caused quite a sensation, and the official newspapers even reported it extensively!" Wu Jingzhong slapped his head, wondering why he didn't ask a few more questions and missed the opportunity to know such great news about his daughter first.
At that time, he thought that there was a child with the same name and surname as his daughter at Beijing University!
Ouch, this is really wrong. He didn’t even react when he heard his son Tongtong’s name. He really deserves to be beaten!
That was a special report in the official media and official newspapers. What an honor! And more importantly, the report was about his daughter proving a world-class problem and being praised by top international experts!
It’s a huge loss!
"I just started working today, and the county magistrate and secretary suddenly came to our office and praised me for raising a good girl who would bring glory to the country internationally... They also said they would do more research and give me more responsibilities!" Wu Jingzhong felt like he was on a roller coaster at the time, completely confused.
After vaguely seeing his leader off and before he had time to respond to his colleagues' congratulations, he grabbed an official newspaper and read it carefully. Only then did he realize how great a thing his precious daughter had done and how great an honor she had won.
He thought that it was a great honor for his daughter to hold a special report meeting at the school before she officially enrolled in Peking University!
"It's just that I solved a rare problem. As for the work, it depends on what you like, so don't worry about it. I should be able to get a lot of bonus this time. After I get it, you can find some vacation time to take mom and grandpa out for a walk. Let's keep up with the trend and travel!
Recently, I may not have time to go out with you, you have fun, I will reimburse all the expenses!" Wu Tong smiled and comforted, colorful clothes entertained parents,
She hadn't thought that solving such a math problem would cause such a big social sensation. There was no movement at home yesterday, so she thought it hadn't been reported to them, and planned to share it with them later when everything was settled.
"It must be a coincidence that the official newspaper used my story as an editorial to inspire young people to study. Let's just be calm about it!" Wu Tong still doesn't think that she has done anything big.
Since the millennium, China's international status has been rising. Last year's Olympic Games made China famous around the world. She felt that the official media may have spread her story as an inspiring example.
Just be a gong for the official newspapers!
However, solving such problems and getting those generous rewards still made her very excited.
No matter how others say she is a god, she is still just an ordinary person with an ordinary mentality. She has not reached the supreme saint realm of having no desires and no demands. She is just a little more special than ordinary people.
"Dad thanks Tongtong. Tongtong, you are alone in Beijing, please take good care of yourself..." Rather than being attracted by the sensational reports, Wu Jingzhong was more concerned about the safety of his precious daughter living alone. As soon as the topic changed, he began to give her advice.
In early June, Tongtong and Xiaoxin will take the college entrance examination, and at the end of June they will have to apply for college admission. In early July, Tongtong will fly abroad for a competition... They are very busy in these two months and probably don't have the mood to go out and play!
"Dad, everything is fine here. Today, some official media came to do some simple interviews, and the leaders here came to meet us... There may be some movement later, and it may be a bit busy these few days. You guys will have to bear with it, Dad!" Wu Tong gave more instructions and asked her father to give some words to her mother and grandfather. She would go into the training classroom soon, so it might not be convenient for her to answer the phone.
"Okay, okay, okay! This is an honor. We are so proud of it. It won't be a problem. Tongtong, just focus on your studies!" Wu Jingzhong hung up the phone happily and hurried home to tell the good news.
·····
As the report spread, Wu Tong received many congratulatory calls from Xincheng No. 1 High School, Xincheng County, Tianzhong City, and even the Education Department of Zhongyuan Province.
These units did not disturb Wu Tong too much. They just sent her congratulations and asked if she had any difficulties or needed help... to let Wu Tong know that the people in her hometown are thinking about her and caring about her.
After all, this is a child who comes from our own place. She is so promising and has become a successful person. We cannot let her misunderstand that her family ignores her.
If they can get Wu Tong to stay, then they must keep him. Even if they have to compete with Shangjing, they will stand tall because this is a child from their province.
Wu Tong responded politely, saying that there were no difficulties, everything was normal, and thanked her for her concern. As for the calls from the media, Wu Tong no longer answered them and turned off his phone. His family had Teacher Li's phone number, so if there was anything urgent, they would contact Teacher Li and pass it on to her.
As Wu Tong took the initiative to hide herself, she did not leave the Peking University campus, and the noise and commotion of the outside world had nothing to do with her...
Training classroom, library, dormitory, her route was fixed and safe. Most of the students of Beijing University knew their limits. When they saw Wu Tong, they would watch from a distance, but they would not crowd around her. Accustomed to these stares, Wu Tong took it for granted, and it was only a rarity for a while.
Wu Tong's attitude of concentrating on his studies and not being disturbed by the noise made all the professors and teachers at Kyoto University very happy. This is the attitude of doing research. Kyoto University has achieved a great harvest this year. I am really happy!
Jingda was very happy and quickly collected the rewards from the Shangjing City Bureau. Within three working days, Wu Tong's account had an additional 1.5 million bonus credited to it. This amazing speed really shocked Wu Tong, who still had a lot of experience.
She was not afraid that Kyoto University would default on the debt, but it seemed that Kyoto University was afraid that she would not pay.
