Chapter 50



A national college entrance examination champion was directly selected, and the No. 1 Middle School in the city will hold a lecture for him, and professors from Tsinghua University and Nanjing University will also come.

Yan Tong is now in a difficult situation.

He really doesn't want to appear at any speech event. This is not showing off, but going to the execution ground. Especially when you have to deal with two professors from prestigious universities who come here specially.

Although Yan Tong has always been very confident, he still knows himself well. He can make friends, but being with these intellectual professors is simply a hellish survival mode.

Yan Tong felt extremely miserable, but he couldn't refuse.

When Fang Yandong rushed back and heard the news, his legs went weak and he sat down on the sofa. His mind went blank for a moment. As smart as he was, he couldn't remain calm.

But now that things have come to this, they have no choice but to go down this path.

"Go ahead. You can't refuse this speech. I'll ask Director Sun to get the answers to Liu Jia's paper. You should prepare your speech well before the speech. When the time comes, you can act according to circumstances and fool people..."

Fang Yandong pondered for a long time, and finally said.

Yan Tong was a little worried and looked hesitant.

Fang Qianhao was also very nervous, "Dad, will this work? The professors who will come will be from Tsinghua University and Nanjing University..."

Are professors from prestigious universities so easily fooled?

"What else can we do?" Fang Yandong said coldly, "At this point, we can only go ahead with it. Anyway, Liu Jia is not a student of No. 1 Middle School in the city, so it is impossible for him to go to the lecture. How can we find him on the spot?"

This is indeed the truth, and it is also said so.

But... Yan Tong and Fang Qianhao always had a bad feeling.

But now there is no other way except to go on. I have to go to the school's lecture meeting whether I want to or not, and I have to take the title of top scorer in the college entrance examination whether I want it or not.

Yan Tong had no choice.

I could only go back to my room to prepare my speech.

After Fang Yandong and the other two left, he sat in the living room of the villa and thought for a long time, his expression changing constantly, and finally he seemed to have made up his mind.

He left the living room, went to the garden, and called Sun Zhi.

"Hey, Sun Zhi. Listen to me now. There might be problems with the grade swap. If it really happens, you actively cooperate with the investigation and admit your guilt..."

"What? Mr. Fang, what are you talking about? Are you asking me to take on all the responsibility?!"

"No. Even if I ask you to resist everything, you can't resist. You pushed the blame on Fang Qianhao, but it was he who caused the incident in the first place. If he hadn't insisted, I wouldn't have cared about Yan Tong's affairs. He is the mastermind, and you are just an accomplice... I will give you a sum of money, enough for you to have food and clothing when you get out, and I will also take care of your wife and children."

"Fang Yandong, he's your own son. Are you really willing to let him go?"

"A thing born of a bastard, a brainless idiot. If it weren't for them, would I be in this situation now? He treated a troublemaker as a treasure and invited a wolf into the house. If he continues like this, I will be killed by this idiot sooner or later."

Fang Yandong's voice was filled with hatred.

"Director Sun, think about it carefully. If I betray you and I die with you, what will you face when you get out of prison?"

Facing what?

Of course, it is poverty and destitution with nothing.

If Fang Yandong hadn't suffered any harm, he could have gotten some hush money.

After a while.

Sun Zhi's depressed voice came from the other end of the phone.

"good……"

Since there was no way to refuse, the top scorer's speech at the city's No. 1 Middle School went smoothly.

Although No. 1 High School in Jiang City has always claimed to be the best high school in Jiang City, its status as the best still fluctuates from time to time, and the competition for the best title is very fierce.

Every school is working hard to compete for the best title.

It’s not like the No. 1 Middle School in the city has produced top scorers in the college entrance examination before, but they were basically from within the province. After all, although Jiang City is a quasi-first-tier city, compared with real first-tier cities, many resources are still insufficient. In the past, No. 1 Middle School could not get the position of the national top scholar.

However, the principal of the No. 1 Middle School in the city did not expect that the school would have a dark horse in this college entrance examination.

You should know that the difficulty of this year's college entrance examination was much higher than in previous years. When most students did not perform up to expectations, their school actually produced a national top scorer with 744 points. This surprise was almost like a pie in the sky!

Although he finally found out that the other person was Yan Tong, one of the protagonists who caused the school to fall into the public opinion storm, he felt a little complicated, but in the end he was overwhelmed by joy and ignored his previous dissatisfaction. After all, with the title of the national college entrance examination champion, their city’s No. 1 Middle School can be said to have made a great comeback.

Therefore, when the school received calls from two professors from Tsinghua University and Nanjing University asking about "Liu Jia".

The principal decisively decided to hold a speech meeting for Yan Tong!

In addition to students from the school, leaders from other schools and reporters from some news channels were also invited to the speech on the day to ensure that the No. 1 Middle School in the city would gain a good reputation this year.

When Fang Ziyang heard the news that the No. 1 Middle School in the city was holding a speech meeting, he laughed at home.

He was still thinking about how to give Yan Tong a surprise, but he didn't expect that No. 1 Middle School in the city would give him the opportunity. Although the school initially accepted Fang Yandong's instructions and handled the matter of his hot-search video unfairly, it is now doing a really great job!

How could he miss such a good opportunity?

Although no one in his class notified him, it didn't mean that he couldn't go back to school on his own initiative. After all, he was a student of the No. 1 Middle School in the city. Couldn't he visit his alma mater after graduation? Can’t I attend the top scorer’s speech in the college entrance examination in my grade?

In short.

On the day of the lecture, Fang Ziyang appeared in the city's No. 1 Middle School in a very high-profile manner.

When the teachers and classmates at school saw him, their expressions were extremely complicated.

Originally, they should have sympathized with Fang Ziyang's situation, but Fang Ziyang was too tough during the live broadcast, which had a great impact on the school's introduction.

Until now, when people talk about what happened back then, they still look down on No. 1 Middle School in the city, saying that their school is a den of filth, that their classmates are unfriendly... and so on. Anyway, in the past two months, everyone is embarrassed to say that they are students of No. 1 Middle School when they go out.

Therefore, even though they knew what Fang Ziyang had gone through, the teachers and classmates at school were very resentful of him and could not smile.

When everyone saw Fang Ziyang appear, they began to point fingers quietly.

But Fang Ziyang didn't care about these.

Didn’t people talk about him enough in his previous life? It's common to have things thrown at you when you go out. Whether in his previous life or this life, he had no close relationship with the teachers and classmates of the No. 1 Middle School in the city. There were many rumors about him in the school during his three years of high school.

Although the performance of No. 1 Middle School in Jiang City is among the best, its performance in students' moral education is far from satisfactory.

When the students and teachers saw Fang Ziyang, they all stood in the distance with subtle expressions and did not come over to say hello.

But the reporters who came here today were different. When they saw Fang Ziyang, their eyes lit up as if they had seen the God of Wealth.

Although it may sound a bit exaggerated, it is the fact!

Fang Ziyang's name is indeed very popular now, especially this time Fang Ziyang's college entrance examination result was also very good, 712 points, which was unexpected by no one outside.

Wasn’t it agreed that he was a useless student? 712 points is also called a poor student? You must be kidding.

In fact, the reporters came today not only to interview the national college entrance examination champion, but also for Fang Ziyang. After all, a poor student who could not even pass the exam before actually got such a high score in the end. This contrast is more eye-catching than the title of the national college entrance examination champion.

"Student Fang Ziyang, I'm very sorry if I can ask you a question. As far as we know, your grades are not very good. You only passed a few mock exams in the three years of high school. But you scored 712 in the college entrance examination this time. Can you tell us why?"

"Or, did you use any magical study methods during your review period..."

The reporter's questions were very tactful, but the meaning they expressed was very sharp.

It's almost like asking directly, with such a huge contrast, did you cheat, Young Master Fang? Otherwise why is it so scary!

Although it is a bit offensive, it is not unreasonable for people to be suspicious.

Fang Ziyang was well prepared, so he naturally did not feel guilty. Besides, his achievements were also the result of his own strength. Even though he had the advantage of being reborn, he still put in a lot of effort in reviewing during this period.

He smiled slightly and said casually,

"A magical study method? No, how could there be a study method in this world that can turn a poor student into a top student in a short period of time? Unless it's a daydream, this poor student was originally a top student."

The reporter was excited when he heard this, "So, Mr. Fang, you mean that you are a top student?"

"Of course. I failed the exams before only because I didn't want to take them. After all... you all know that I'm a father who gives you everything you want. I don't even know what the point of studying well is."

Fang Ziyang spread his hands helplessly and spoke in the same annoying way as always.

Everyone said they really wanted to beat him up.

Then Fang Ziyang continued,

"I know you may have some doubts about my results, but it doesn't matter. It's human nature and the facts will prove everything."

"Well, to avoid getting scolded, I'll demonstrate it to you now. You should know the full-score essays in this year's college entrance examination, right? One of them, "Tomorrow", is my Chinese composition. The text says, tomorrow I think that Country M will be caught in an economic storm..."

"In fact, this essay is not complete. Due to the word limit, it can only be abbreviated. However, the ending statement in it, I want to say, is that it is not just a bunch of empty talk, the conclusion is based on mathematical data."

"If you are willing to pay attention, you might as well wait and see. Based on my analysis and data forecast, I think Country M will be caught in an economic storm... It should happen within half a year."

Speaking of this.

Fang Ziyang smiled brilliantly, "From now on you can call me the Prophecy Emperor."

Then he turned and walked away towards the school hall.

The reporters stood there with their topics and cameras for a full minute before they reacted excitedly and quickly took out their recorders to record the gratitude at this moment.

Hot spot, this is the hot spot today! Fang Ziyang is indeed a traffic 'superstar'!

then.

Reporters began to frantically interview students and teachers from the No. 1 Middle School in the city, trying to find out more about Fang Ziyang's life at school. As for Yan Tong, the top scorer in the college entrance examination...well, let’s talk about it later. Traffic is important now.

The teachers and students at the school looked unhappy when they were asked this question, because it was not a pleasant feeling for them to see Fang Ziyang on TV.

But when it comes to reporters' questions, they didn't dare to talk nonsense openly and could only answer honestly.

Therefore, soon, the news that Fang Ziyang's grades had improved by leaps and bounds, and that he had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, spread in a small circle in the school. In fact, he was a super good student, and his scores in dozens of mock exams on the eve of the college entrance examination were all above 700, spread.

This completely confirms Fang Ziyang’s awesome statement that “The reason I failed the exam before was because I didn’t want to take it.”

Fang Ziyang did not stay with the reporters for too long. After clearing himself of suspicion of cheating, he quickly slipped into the school's auditorium to prepare for his speech.

Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu also returned to school today.

They didn't know that Fang Ziyang's college entrance examination scores had been changed. They simply rushed back to school to join in the fun because two professors from Tsinghua University and Nanjing University were coming. After all, these two schools were their college entrance examination choices.

As actual senior high school students, they were really excited to be able to see their future university professors before enrolling.

The three of them walked into the lobby, and before they even sat down, they ran into Yan Tong and Fang Qianhao.

As the saying goes, enemies become jealous of each other when they meet.

Fang Ziyang's heart was in turmoil, but he looked calm.

Yan Tong and Fang Qianhao simply couldn't control their emotions and showed them, especially Fang Qianhao. He couldn't control his temper before, and now even more so. Because of Fang Ziyang and Tang Xun, he now has nothing except the identity of Young Master Fang.

When he saw Fang Ziyang, Fang Qianhao's eyes suddenly shot out fire and he looked like he wanted to rush up and hit him.

Although Yan Tong next to him was not so impulsive, his expression could not hide the jealousy and pride. The continuous setbacks made it impossible for him to maintain the calmness that he had hidden his emotions before.

However, in front of everyone, no matter how much Fang Qianhao hated it, he couldn't really do anything. He could only snort coldly and leave.

Fang Ziyang didn't care about such childish behavior at all. He still found a seat and sat down in a good mood.

The rest of the students, teachers and reporters who came to watch the speech also entered the venue one after another.

When the time came, the school leaders and two professors from Tsinghua University and Nanjing University came in and sat down, and Yan Tong's college entrance examination champion speech officially began.

Because he was afraid of being exposed, Yan Tong prepared his speech today very carefully.

I specifically asked Director Sun to make a copy of Fang Ziyang's test paper and write down all the steps in detail in case anyone asked me any questions at the lecture.

Although he was still very nervous, but thinking that the main person Liu Jia would not come, and having made so many preparations, and having great trust in Fang Yandong's ability to do things, Yan Tong was still very confident when giving the speech.

However, to be on the safe side, Yan Tong's speech basically focused on encouraging younger classmates, motivating classmates of the same grade to work hard in college, etc. These are flashy and non-practical things, and there is relatively little content related to his own college entrance examination and study problems.

Principal Zhou of the No. 1 Middle School in the city and principals of other schools nodded repeatedly and thought the speech was very good.

Although they have a good level of education, they are not specialized in research after all, so it is normal that they cannot hear some deep things. I am very satisfied with Yan Tong's focus on speaking some flashy nonsense. That's what a speech is like.

Professor Meng from Tsinghua University and Professor Xu from Nanjing University frowned more and more as they listened.

They came today to listen to Yan Tong's talk about his own studies, his views on mathematics, and his analysis of his college entrance examination answering process, not to listen to nonsense.

They endured for a long time and finally heard Yan Tong start talking about study problems, but Yan Tong finished talking before two minutes had passed.

Then.

Then the official nonsense began again.

Professor Meng has an impatient temper. He had finally taken the time to fly here today, so there was no point in wasting time like this.

When Yan Tong finished talking nonsense again, he finally couldn't help but stand up and asked in a gentle manner,

"Student Yan, your speech just now was very exciting. We are very pleased that Jiangshi No. 1 Middle School can teach students of your level. I came here today because I have a question I want to ask you..."

Note that it is a request rather than an inquiry.

As a professor at Tsinghua University, Professor Meng actually used the word "ask for advice". It can be imagined that he attaches great importance to today's speech and recognizes Yan Tong's "ability".

Professor Meng is an old mathematics professor who is very obsessed with academics. In the eyes of an academic fanatic like him, he does not judge people by age or gender, he only looks at their abilities. If he recognized someone's mathematical ability, he would treat him as an equal even if the other person was an elementary school student.

When Yan Tong saw Professor Meng stand up, he felt a little panicked, but he couldn't ignore him.

I could only force myself to smile and say, "Professor Meng, you are too polite. If you have any questions, just ask directly. I will tell you everything I know."

Professor Meng was delighted when he heard this and immediately said,

"Okay, I won't go on and on. This is what I mean. I've seen your answer sheet for the college entrance exam. There was a geometry question in it. I want to ask you why you thought of setting another x number at that time?"

"This may seem redundant on the surface, but a careful analysis will add the finishing touch. It reduces the difficulty of the entire problem several times. I have used your method to advance the mathematical problem I am currently studying..."

Professor Meng is an academic fanatic and started talking about all kinds of professional terms.

Yan Tong had a smile on his face, but he was roaring madly inside.

He understood every word Professor Meng said, but when they put them together, he felt like he was listening to a foreign language. What on earth was he talking about? What x-number, what P-value... He couldn't understand anything at all!

In fact, in the entire auditorium, apart from Professor Xu from Nanjing University, who was at the same level as Professor Meng, Fang Ziyang was the only one who could understand what Professor Meng was saying.

Looking at Yan Tong, who was strong and calm and smiling on the stage, Fang Ziyang almost laughed out loud.

Although he is not as good as his brother and cannot prove one of the ten major conjectures in mathematics, his talent in mathematics is also extraordinary.

So when he took the math test, he had an extra thought.

When answering questions, all the answering processes used are remote and simple, which will not affect the teacher's correction, and can also allow "insiders" to understand what he wants to highlight.

That is, his seemingly ordinary answering process actually plays a driving role in the calculation of many difficult mathematical problems.

Now all countries in the world are paying more and more attention to scientific and technological development, and China is no exception.

Mathematics is the foundation of all scientific research, so he believes that top universities such as Tsinghua University and Nanjing University will definitely review the full-score mathematics test papers every year in order to select talented people in mathematics.

Now it is true. His idea was verified.

"…So, Mr. Yan, can you tell me in detail why you came up with this idea of ​​setting such an x ​​number? Your idea is really novel."

After talking about a bunch of professional terms, Professor Meng looked at Yan Tong with curiosity.

The enthusiasm for mathematics in the old man's eyes is so cute.

Yan Tong had no idea how to answer and his forehead was sweating.

What novel ideas? Can this method of solving the problem by randomly setting a number x be considered a novel idea? Can it also promote the calculation of difficult mathematical problems? Isn’t it a bit too fantasy?

Staring at Professor Meng's fanatical eyes, Yan Tong pinched his palm with his fingernails, and could only force a smile and answer with a panacea,

"This question... I'm very sorry, Professor Meng. Actually, I just had a flash of inspiration at that time. Now I just have a vague idea of ​​a new idea. I think there are still some questions that I haven't figured out. It's really embarrassing to tell you now. I want to sort out my thoughts and think clearly before discussing it with you. Is that okay?"

Although the reason is a bit far-fetched, the mathematical calculation is not without some inspiration.

Professor Meng was extremely disappointed, but Yan Tong had explained it so clearly, so he couldn't ask him about it. It was normal for him not to want to talk about it until he understood the situation.

"All right."

Professor Meng sat down a little unhappily. He came here today with full of hope.

Seeing the old man sit down, Yan Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, Professor Xu from Nanjing University stood up again.

Professor Xu is much younger than Professor Meng. He is a middle-aged man who wears black-rimmed glasses and looks like a nerd.

"Hello, Yan. I'm here today because I'm concerned about a question you answered in the college entrance examination. In your solution to question 3 of the application question, I saw some shadows of Dale's conjecture. I want to ask if you are conducting research on Dale's conjecture?"

When Professor Xu said this, the fanaticism in his eyes was no less than that of Professor Meng just now.

Dale's conjecture is also one of the top ten mathematical conjectures in the world. It is as famous as the Goldbach conjecture verified by Tang Xun before, and is also the focus of attention of mathematicians around the world.

Even if the students present do not understand the professional terms, they still have some understanding of this type of problem.

Suddenly, the eyes of everyone in the conference hall changed when they looked at Yan Tong.

Dale's conjecture! One of the ten great conjectures in mathematics! Yan Tong is actually researching this thing! They are both senior high school students, so is the gap that big?

The fiery gaze was fixed upon him.

Yan Tong almost fainted.

Of course he knew what Dale's conjecture was, and that was why he felt dizzy. Isn’t Liu Jia just an ordinary student with slightly better grades? Why is the other party so awesome in studying Dale's conjecture! This is going to kill him!

Yan Tong stood on the podium with a stiff smile, unable to utter a word, his mind blank.

But Professor Xu didn't notice anything was wrong with him.

Professor Xu was excited about discovering a like-minded mathematical genius. When he saw that Yan Tong did not answer for a while, he thought that Yan Tong did not know which question he was talking about.

He simply took off his suit jacket, climbed directly onto the podium, grabbed the computer and started typing.

Then the question he talked about and the process of solving the problem were projected on the podium through the PPT of the speech and appeared in front of everyone.

Professor Xu pointed at the PPT excitedly and said to Yan Tong enthusiastically,

"That's the question. Look, Student Yan. This is the answer on your test paper. I have restored all the steps for you..."

"Take a quick look, here and here, these steps are all habits that are often used when doing Dale's conjecture calculations. Only people who are studying this math problem will habitually solve the problem in this way. Student Yan, you must be studying the topic of Dale's conjecture now, right?"

Everyone held their breath and looked at Yan Tong.

Yan Tong stood there panicking, not knowing how to answer.

What can he say? Is that so? What if someone asks him what stage of research he has reached and gives him a few questions to solve on the spot?

Isn’t it? Then how does he explain why this problem-solving procedure conflicts with other people's research habits?

Yan Tong swallowed his saliva and was about to find another panacea to deal with it.

"Bang!"

There was a sound of tables and chairs colliding in the conference hall.

Everyone looked over in the direction of the sound.

Fang Ziyang stood up with a shocked and ugly expression, his eyes red, raised his hand and pointed at the PPT on the stage, and asked loudly,

"Yan Tong, why did my math test paper become yours? Why is your answer process exactly the same as mine, even the extra calculation step is the same!"

The words fell.

The whole audience was silent.

Yan Tong's brain exploded and he stood there in a daze.
