To Jingda and Wu Tong's surprise, the 4,000 places they reserved were not enough at all, and the number of people who eagerly signed up far exceeded the quota!
After the time and place of the academic conference on the proof of the Goldbach conjecture were determined, applications poured in like snowflakes. The appeal of Wu Tong and the Goldbach conjecture together exceeded everyone's imagination.
According to the final statistics, in such a short period of time, the number of visitors who made appointments from home and abroad has reached nearly 10,000. The Shangjing Conference Center simply does not have the capacity to host meetings for so many people.
For a moment, the top leaders of Kyoto University didn't know whether they should be happy about the visit of so many mathematicians, or worried about where to find a venue for so many people.
The senior executives were all stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Of course, after a brief moment of distress, a smug euphoria took over. This was a sweet little burden, not a nuisance.
After her parents officially started working, Wu Tong took a few days off and returned to school to prepare for a lecture. She also deduced another practical special steel direction of her previous research on projectile materials.
Just as they were listing venues that could accommodate 10,000 people for a meeting, a notice came from above that the largest 10,000-person conference hall in the Great Hall of the People would be lent to Wu Tong for holding an academic lecture.
"The Great Hall of the People?" Wu Tong was a little incredulous when she heard Zhou Wenping's news in person. She could hold an academic seminar in such a sacred place? This was too glorious!
According to her grandfather, it was definitely a great surprise that brought honor to the family.
"Yes, the Great Hall of the People!" Zhou Wenping smiled and nodded in confirmation. He wasn't joking. Zhou Wenping was both surprised and expected by this decision.
Wu Tong's achievements can be said to be a glory for China, making China stand out in the world. It can be said that Wu Tong has become a new calling card for Chinese mathematics.
It is even said that Wu Tong's private contributions to the country may be even more significant!
This is a normal arrangement to provide convenience for Wu Tong.
Compared to that, the next piece of news was even more shocking. He introduced Wu Tong to a man next to him who had a warm expression and extraordinary temperament. "This is Secretary Yang from the Secretariat of the State Council!"
"Hello, Director Yang, thank you for your trouble!" Wu Tong expressed her gratitude, and the State Council even sent someone to contact her. "I'm sorry to have caused trouble for the country!" Her teachers had taught her that secretaries in the Secretariat were generally office directors, so addressing them as Director Yang was a safe bet.
"Hello, just call me Xiao Yang!" Having proved such a top-notch conjecture, Wu Tong's importance is now no longer equal to that of an academician, but is better than that of an academician. Although he does serve as the director of an office, he is not worthy of the honorific title of Director Yang from such a top scholar.
The Chinese mathematical community needs a sufficiently representative figure like Wu Tong, especially since Wu Tong is still very young and has been able to stay in the Chinese mathematical community for a long time. He is a true Chinese citizen.
They had missed out on Mr. Qiu, Terence Tao and others before, and now Wu Tong has appeared. If they can't seize the opportunity, then they really don't know what to do!
Wu Tong has now gained fame and attention on an international scale. She has received countless invitations from top international universities and mathematics-related organizations, and the various favorable conditions they offer are an enticement that has attracted countless people.
Compared to the temptations that can dazzle people's eyes, there is also an even more superior academic atmosphere! According to the latest developments they learned, the mathematical mecca of Paris, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton...
These existences that so many people yearn for have sent Wu Tong sincere invitations, and Wu Tong can set the conditions.
"Student Wu Tong, is your time convenient? Leader No. 3 wants to see you. I'm honored to receive you!"
Even Zhou Wenping couldn't help but feel envious when the invitation came out. Although he held a high-ranking position at Peking University, he still had never personally spoken to that person. He was not yet qualified to be received by that person.
Wu Tong already has such an opportunity. It is not based on the leader's time, but on Wu Tong's time. It is an enviable and proud treatment.
"Of course, I'm honored. Please arrange it!" Wu Tong was so surprised to be received by Leader No. 3 that she was a little overwhelmed. She was truly unprepared and couldn't take it lightly. After calming down a little, Wu Ting immediately nodded in confirmation.
It's not like she had never met high-ranking leaders before. Leaders Wu and Liu, who had visited before, were both high-ranking department/team leaders. General Manager Lin and Director Chu were both leaders of the Aerospace and Scientific Research Departments. However, this one was completely different from those leaders.
"The car is waiting downstairs, please come in!" The genius scholar was not arrogant, and the work went smoothly. Secretary Yang's attitude became even more friendly.
Wu Tong packed up his things, said goodbye to Zhou Wenping, and followed Secretary Yang into the special car parked downstairs, heading to the National Council. Secretary Yang had already reported to the court before leaving.
After arriving at the National Council, Secretary Yang ushered Wu Tong into a spacious reception room. The reception room was simply decorated yet had a solemn and majestic atmosphere. The red flag inserts on the tables were the best embellishment.
"The leader has made time as quickly as possible and will be here in ten minutes. Please wait!" Secretary Yang raised his hand to check the time and said softly.
"Leader, please take care of the affairs of state first. I am not in a hurry!" Wu Tong nodded gently. She was not good at socializing. She felt that there would be no socializing with Secretary Yang in the future. Naturally, she did not want to have any socializing with Secretary Yang.
Wu Tong stared intently at the red flag on the table, continuing her previous deduction in her mind. The lack of a pen and notebook didn't hinder her performance; the deduction process and results would be firmly stored in her memory, and she would write them down later.
Secretary Yang controlled the time precisely. Ten minutes later, the door of the reception room was gently pushed open from the outside. A familiar face often seen on TV news walked in. The No. 3 leader, who was just over 50 years old and less than 60 years old, still had black hair and an imposing demeanor.
He looked at Wu Tong and said in a gentle voice, "Student Wu Tong, I'm sorry to have asked you to come here so hastily!"
Wu Tong's achievements and contributions made him worthy of the title of a national hero. He extended his hands and shook hands with Wu Tong. "Please forgive my impatience. I've been wanting to wait for you to finish your work so I can find time to talk to you!"
Wu Tong shook hands with him and said excitedly, "It's my honor to meet you!"
"It's not unusual to see me. Your achievements in mathematics and contributions to the country are such that I should be the one to express my gratitude on behalf of the country!" Leader No. 3 was incredibly affable to Wu Tong. Given his age, if he were a few years older, he'd be Wu Tong's grandfather. He smiled graciously and guided Wu Tong to a seat next to him.
Secretary Yang made two cups of tea and left the meeting room.
