"I have to thank all the teachers for their kindness!" Wu Tong smiled in return. If it weren't for the teachers' concern for her, such a talented young talent, who had consistently performed as well as she did in the Olympiad, would have had more than one instructor taking notice. They would have even had a strong understanding of each other before their junior and senior years. With Su Dongyi's grades and abilities, once she had completed the basics, she would have had the opportunity to work on projects in her junior and senior years.
However, now, because of her sudden emergence, these teachers favored her and finally sent such a good seedling to her, allowing her to meet such a good student. Therefore, before feeling the joy of having her first student, Wu Tong sincerely thanked the teachers.
"Wu Tong's appeal is still strong!" The other professors were warmed by Wu Tong's attitude. Wu Tong's rise was directly attributed to the higher-ups, and he never competed with them for limited resources. Naturally, they were happy about it. It was just a small effort, and everyone was willing to carry Wu Tong's sedan chair.
Besides, it’s not like they are so selfless that they want to give the good seedling to Wu Tong.
When Su Dongyi entered the school, he was definitely under observation for the first year. When they wanted to contact him in the second year, Wu Tong had already risen miraculously. In the third year, Wu Tong became qualified to recruit students. Inspired by an outstanding role model like Wu Tong, Su Dongyi entered the graduation sequence a year earlier. With Wu Tong around, he would definitely be his first choice, and he would not consider anyone else.
Therefore, other professors who were originally interested just did a favor and maintained a relationship with top scholars like Wu Tong. There were only benefits and no disadvantages, which led to the harmonious situation we have today!
Su Dongyi left the stage for the time being, feeling pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected it to go so smoothly, to be recognized by Wu Tong, and to be a student of a world-class scholar like Wu Tong, a future Fields Medal winner. Although he was quite confident in himself, there were many outstanding talents in the country, and just because he was relatively outstanding, it didn't mean he had to be chosen as a student.
Sometimes, chemistry is also a condition for selecting students. Even the most excellent tutor and student can have no teacher-student relationship if their research directions are not consistent.
Fortunately, his postgraduate study direction is exactly what Wu Tong is good at, and he is very good at it. The top NS equations in this field have all been proved by the teacher.
The second candidate came in, a top student from Jinling University. His performance and resume were equally impressive, not much behind Su Dongyi. After all, he was only just about to graduate from university, and unless he was a miracle student like Wu Tong, few students at this age could achieve such astonishing results.
Wu Tong is the one who breaks reality. He cannot be compared to an ordinary person.
The third interviewee, like the second one, performed well, was very confident and had something to say. Although he was a little shallow compared to other people in their field, he was still pretty good considering his age.
Wu Tong had spoken with several candidates, but unlike the first candidate, Su Dongyi, he hadn't expressed a clear opinion on their inclusion. It wasn't until the seventh candidate that Wu Tong listened with interest to the girl's answers, who sounded quite thoughtful.
However, she also did not express a clear opinion, but only recorded her comments in the notebook in her hand. Eighth place, ninth place...
Each interviewee had an interview time of about twenty minutes. In one morning, Wu Tong and his team interviewed a total of about twenty students. All of them were excellent students, but the focus of some of them was not quite in line with Wu Tong's current main research direction.
While she wasn't completely unable to provide guidance, she certainly couldn't devote sufficient energy and time to the project. This was her first year teaching students, and out of responsibility for the students, Wu Tong only planned to recruit students with expertise in number theory and partial differential equations. If there were any outstanding candidates, Wu Tong might consider recruiting students with expertise in geometry.
With a clear direction in mind, Wu Tong quickly selected two candidates she favored at the end of the morning interviews. "Thanks to Dean Pan and the professors for their support, I've already confirmed two candidates. Besides the first candidate, Su Dongyi, who everyone knows, there's also the seventh candidate, Fang Ling."
"Fang Ling?" Was there anything particularly outstanding about his performance? Honestly, after interviewing so many students this morning, many professors couldn't quite recall the performance of those after the fifth, aside from the first few. Now, with this name suddenly mentioned, they couldn't help but reminisce.
"I remember you asked her a few questions about number theory?" Li Yishen flipped through the materials in his hand and quickly remembered the scene at that time. Fortunately, it was in the morning. Although they had a lot of interviews, if they really wanted to think about it, they could still come up with a lot.
"Yes, the answer is quite interesting. She has a good sensitivity to numbers!" Wu Tong nodded in confirmation. This is a good candidate for number theory. Moreover, this girl's thinking sensitivity is also very good. Therefore, Wu Tong finally decided on the second student. The interview order and graduate school grades are not actually a complete representation of a student's potential and ultimate ability.
"The other students are excellent too, but this is my first year teaching, and I'm not going to bite off more than I can chew. Thank you for all the hard work!" Those who managed to get into Peking University and were ranked in the top 20 were undoubtedly the rare and outstanding students in this class in China. Unashamedly, she accepted the humility of her seniors and made her selection first. However, Wu Tong didn't intend to be too greedy, nor did she want the seniors here to feel like she was picking over the rest of the class.
"Okay, okay!" After confirming that Wu Tong really wasn't choosing and wasn't picky at all, the other professors who were watching naturally felt very good.
Out of twenty people, Wu Tong only picked two, and they were the best, which made them even happier. Wu Tong was a really good person to get along with, very good at it!
After Wu Tong joined the company and announced the recruitment of students, what they were most worried about was that Wu Tong was a young genius with a rebellious nature, and the school was particularly supportive of her. They were worried that she would be domineering and eat the meat while others couldn't even get a sip of the soup, and that she would tyrannically take away all the good seedlings and leave them with only leftovers.
But now, after truly spending time with him, they felt they had been narrow-minded. How could a young genius capable of such remarkable achievements make such a low-level mistake? Wu Tong truly deserved praise for his gentle warmth, humility, respect, and understanding. They were truly overjoyed to share the same family as such a virtuous genius!
