Su Qingyun first looked at the sender on the envelope, Benjamin, the editor-in-chief of "Mathematical Annals". She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she finally got a reply. If she didn't get a reply, she would have doubted whether her letter was sent to the right place.
Mr. Stevens had written the letter of recommendation for Su Qingyun when he was in Country E. He told Su Qingyun that if one day she wanted to submit a paper for publication, she should send the paper and this letter of recommendation to Benjamin. It was not until now that this letter of recommendation came in handy.
Su Qingyun opened Benjamin's reply.
Dear Su, hello, I am Benjamin, the editor-in-chief of Annals of Mathematics. I am very pleased to receive your paper entitled "On the Phased Proof and Ideas of the Riemann Hypothesis". After joint review and evaluation by multiple reviewers, we have confirmed that your paper has high research value and is of great significance to the study of the Riemann hypothesis.
After discussion, we have decided to publish your paper in the first edition of the August issue of the Annals of Mathematics. A sample copy will be mailed to you. If possible, please contact me. I will discuss the mysteries of mathematics with you with the most sincere heart and look forward to meeting you one day.
After reading the letter, Su Qingyun smiled and felt a little excited. This was the first paper she would publish in her life. She had spent so much time and effort on it and it finally paid off. She was very happy.
But looking at the phone number Benjamin left on the letter, Su Qingyun felt a headache again. It was not easy to make an international call in this day and age.
In their town, you can only make calls within the city. If you want to call other places, you need to go to the post office to apply. Making calls within the province is already so difficult, not to mention making calls abroad, which is basically impossible.
Su Qingyun estimated that he would have to go to the provincial capital at least before he could make a call abroad.
Forget it, it’s too troublesome. Su Qingyun thought about it and gave up.
She folded the letter and put it back into the envelope, then waited patiently for the August sample issue of the Annals of Mathematics to arrive.
The sample magazine arrived early, and their final exam results had already come out. On the day the results were announced, the senior students stood in front of the school bulletin board and began to look up their names and grades.
As usual, everyone started from the third name, because the first two names were Su Qingyun and Ji Yue, who were unshakable, so there was no need to look at them.
"My score this time was actually 20 points higher than my estimated score! That's great!"
"Me too. My score is higher than last time. That's great!"
"It's over, it's over! I failed the test this time and I definitely won't be assigned a good job!"
"I didn't perform well either. If I go back with this result, my dad will beat me to death."
Seeing the results announced, everyone's reactions varied, some happy, some sad. This was especially important because the results related to job assignments, so everyone took it very seriously.
"Let me see, let me see!"
Xia Qiu pulled Su Qingyun into the crowd. She first glanced at Su Qingyun's results and exclaimed, "Qingyun, you are first again, and Ji Yue is second again."
These two people are truly the eternal first and second.
Su Qingyun glanced at it, his expression indifferent, and searched the bulletin board, "Hurry up and find your grades."
Xia Qiu also started to read.
"Found it!" Xia Qiu shouted happily. "Oh my god, I got over 30 points higher than last time. That's great! That's great!"
Su Qingyun also smiled. She was happy for Xia Qiu. With Xia Qiu's performance, he should be assigned a good job. At least at this stage, a good job is the most important thing.
"Where is Ji Yue?" Xia Qiu turned around and asked.
"Outside, not coming in." Su Qingyun said.
"Oh, then let's go back to the classroom. The teacher is going to announce the work assignments."
After seeing the results, what everyone is most concerned about is of course the job assignment. In fact, the job assignment is not done by the school, but by the local neighborhood committee. The school only conveys the specific results.
The students in Class 1 of Grade 3 all returned to the classroom. Teacher Qin walked in and everyone's expressions became nervous. Except for Su Qingyun and Ji Yue, no one cared. Anyway, with their grades, the jobs assigned to them would definitely be the best, and they had no qualifications to compete with them.
Teacher Qin glanced at the nervous students in the audience and smiled. "I've said before that we've recorded all of your performance and achievements over the past three years. These all have a bearing on your current job assignments and future prospects."
She took out a piece of paper and said, "This is the job assignment list for our classmates. There are 35 students in our class, and 18 of them have been assigned jobs. Some are local, and some are out of town. The jobs vary, too. They range from factory workers to salespeople to teachers..."
It is impossible for every student in a class to have the opportunity to be assigned a job. With so many graduates and not so many jobs, there are more wolves than meat, so naturally the best students will be chosen.
Eighteen out of thirty-five were assigned jobs, which is a half probability, which is not bad. You know, in later generations, there are countless college graduates who cannot find jobs every year.
But when they heard that there were only eighteen people, everyone's expressions became even more uneasy, wondering if they were among these eighteen people.
Teacher Qin didn't waste any time and started reading out the names. "Shi Hongda, assigned to the Red Star Brick Factory in Luoshui County, as a skilled worker; Liu Xiaofang, assigned to the town department store, as a sales clerk; Chen Dali, assigned to the Luoshui County Chemical Plant, as a skilled worker; Zhang Ju, assigned to the First Primary School in Baiyun Town, as a Chinese teacher..."
Worker, department store clerk, teacher... These are all good jobs that everyone envies. They are not far from home, have high salaries, and are decent. Those whose names are called out breathe a sigh of relief and show excitement.
"Xia Qiu was assigned to the town bus station as a ticket seller. Chen Jia was assigned to Lanshan Farm as a ticket seller..."
Xia Qiu was worried for a long time, and finally heard her name. She immediately smiled widely. The job of a ticket seller at the town bus station was already very good, and she was very satisfied with it. It was close to home, leisurely and not too tiring.
Teacher Qin spoke quickly and read out the eighteen jobs. The results of the job assignments were finalized. Those whose names were not called looked disappointed. Others had results, so what was their future?
