As soon as he saw Wu Tong step into the office, Li Yisheng couldn't help but smile and said excitedly, "Congratulations, Wu Tong, your paper has been accepted. The Annals of Mathematics has adjusted the publication order for you, and your paper will be published early next month. One of your reviewers, Mr. Andrew Wiles, called Professor Zhou last night and praised your paper very much and gave it a very high evaluation!"
That was Andrew Wiles, a Fields Medal winner and a world-leading scholar, someone most people could only admire from afar. He was thrilled to be able to speak with him, having become the kid's reviewer.
"Another reviewer should be Terence Tao, a top Chinese figure. He also gave high praise in his Facebook update today. I witnessed new progress in number theory today and am delighted that Zhou's conjecture has been proved. Let's look forward to the new issue of the Annals of Mathematics. I feel like I've witnessed the change of the youngest winner of the Fields Medal!"
"These seniors are too kind!" She had seen these big guys in the materials she had read. Compared with them, she was just a novice who had just entered the field.
"This must be Wu Tong, the young student is very modest! But he should be happy for proving Zhou's conjecture and publishing a paper in a top SCI journal!" Zhou Wenping, who was one of the people in the office, praised with a smile.
"Wu Tong, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Pan Wenxuan, the dean of the School of Mathematics of Peking University and vice president of Peking University. This is Professor Zhou Wenping, vice dean of the School of Mathematics and deputy director of the Center for Mathematical Research of Peking University. This is the head of the department... and this is..." Li Yisheng clapped his hands and quickly introduced them to Wu Tong.
"Everyone, this is Wu Tong, no need for me to introduce him too much!"
"No, no, we all know such an outstanding classmate!" Pan Wenxuan laughed loudly and walked forward to shake hands with Wu Tong.
From then on, this became the pride of their School of Mathematics. They had read Wu Tong’s basic information countless times.
I originally thought I had secured an excellent CMO with a promising future, but who would have thought that he was actually a hidden talent.
I just signed up for recommendation and haven't even officially started yet, but I've already achieved such an important accomplishment. The family next door must be so excited when they hear the news. Hahahaha... This is the happiest thing this year!
The leaders and professors in the office shook hands with Wu Tong one by one. Their school had produced such a young student, who might become a scholar standing shoulder to shoulder with them in a few years. Everyone was very enthusiastic.
"Student Wu, are you ready? The school has arranged a small academic lecture for you in the small auditorium. If possible, can it be held tomorrow afternoon?" Pan Wenxuan asked. If the time is not suitable, they can discuss it again.
"Of course, President Pan!" Wu Tong recognized this person as the school leader who had spoken so forcefully on behalf of Peking University students. The entire proof process was still fresh in her mind, so she didn't need to make any special preparations.
At 2:00 PM on April 16th, the auditorium at Peking University was packed. Banners were unfurled, and the official website was celebrating. Congratulations to our student Wu Tong for proving the world-renowned Zhou conjecture. This proof has been recognized by leading international scholars and will be published in the May issue of the SCI-indexed Annals of Mathematics!
The teachers and students who came to participate were all those who suddenly received the notice of today's lecture yesterday and quickly grabbed seats. When they saw the banners and the scrolling screen, they were all shocked and couldn't believe it!
Oh my god... When did their school produce such a genius? He actually proved Zhou's conjecture and won a prize in number theory. They are both Peking University students, why is there such a big difference?
At the beginning of the meeting, Pan Wenxuan, Dean of the School of Mathematics, personally presided over the meeting and delivered a joyful speech.
"Recently, Wu Tong, a student from our 10th class, launched an attack on Zhou's conjecture, which had been pending for nearly 20 years, and successfully proved it. This was recognized by top international scholars, including Fields Medal winners Andrew Wiles and Terence Tao...
Our school is delighted to have such an outstanding student. Let us all give a warm round of applause to welcome Wu Tong to the stage to share her achievements with everyone!"
Wu Tong stepped onto the podium from backstage, a rare occasion for her to freshen up. She wore a white silk shirt and a black, gold-threaded, horse-faced skirt. These were gifts from Teacher Jin and Comrade Wu for her sixteenth birthday. Perhaps because her grandmother had made the clothes herself when she was little, they retained the classics of her time, with their flared collar, side-lapels, and pleated skirts. These classical elements permeated Wu Tong's childhood and informed her budding aesthetic, giving her a preference for Chinese clothing.
Her sixteenth birthday, the threshold of adulthood, is also the age when a girl's youth begins to blossom. With the help of her fashionable sister-in-law, Xu Meifeng, Teacher Jin specially made this dress for Wu Tong, a fusion of ancient and modern styles. Her uncle had brought it over as a gift last time, and Wu Tong took it out today, feeling like she was surrounded by family.
This combination later became Wu Tong's classic outfit whenever he attended a meeting.
Andrew, Terence Tao... these eye-catching names once again shocked the teachers and students present. After the regret, Wu Tong came on stage. Seeing that even in formal clothes, Wu Tong still had a childish face, some people finally reacted quickly and realized that the 10th class, that is this year, refers to the batch of students who will be enrolled this fall. Isn't that batch of students not enrolled yet?
The college entrance examination hasn’t even started yet!
This is···
Some sharp-eyed students from the School of Physics who had been beaten by Wu Tong in class had already recognized that this was the future god-level junior schoolmate!
...Tsk, school, they're bringing glory to themselves! My junior sister hasn't even officially enrolled yet, and the school actually pulled out the 10th class and forcefully tied her to the class!
Logically, they should despise the school's shameless behavior, but this is a world problem, a major achievement in proving Zhou's conjecture. Not to mention the school, even they would rack their brains if they had the chance to get involved with their junior schoolmate!
They are already very proud that such a glorious thing was done by students from their school!
"Dear teachers, seniors, good afternoon. I am Wu Tong, a student of the 10th class. Please take some time out of your busy schedule to listen to my story about Zhou's conjecture and the distribution law of Mersenne primes, which originated in 1992..." Wu Tong talked leisurely.
It was her first time on such a stage with so many people watching. It was not a simple award ceremony, but she was required to report on the whole process.
Honestly, she was a little nervous at first. Neither in this life nor in the memories of her awakening had she ever stepped onto a stage like this, speaking before so many eyes. Fortunately, the subject of her story was something she was all too familiar with: her own journey of proof.
From being a little unfamiliar at first to becoming quite comfortable later on, Wu Tong adapted very quickly. His speech was completely impromptu, and the PowerPoint presentation on the big screen was mostly for demonstrations to the teachers and students in the audience.
