Chapter 269 Nothing seems to have changed
It was Li Wenxi's turn to speak. She took a deep breath, stood up and walked to the podium. Professor Wang nodded to her with an encouraging smile. Li Wenxi felt the support from her teacher, and the slight tension in her heart gradually turned into calmness.
At Professor Wang's suggestion, Li Wenxi also spoke in English throughout the whole process. She had memorized the speech repeatedly before.
Standing under the spotlight, she began to explain her research and cracking process of the H47 cipher system in a firm and steady voice. From the weaknesses of the system architecture to the problems of the random number generation mechanism, and then to the final breakthrough, she explained every link in detail, with clear logic and a sense of hierarchy.
On the stage, she was no longer the fragile and helpless girl she once was, but a researcher who had already stepped onto the world stage. She had walked this path step by step with her own firm steps. When
she spoke to the key points, she also combined some diagrams and charts to make the whole process more intuitive and clear. The audience nodded from time to time, some took notes seriously, and some even smiled in appreciation.
At this time, Hao Sanmei in the glass translation room also saw Li Wenxi on the stage through the window. For a moment, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and her heart was in turmoil.
She didn't expect that Xiaoxi was now standing on such a stage and giving such an important academic speech. She was very excited, but she suppressed her emotions and concentrated on real-time translation for the Chinese audience on the scene. Her voice was slightly trembling, but she tried her best to calm herself down.
Now she was translating for Xiaoxi's speech. It was a magical thing. When they first met in the dormitory, they would never have thought that there would be such a day.
Li Wenxi noticed that many people cast curious and admiring glances at her. She turned these glances into motivation and spoke more and more fluently. She analyzed the mathematics and logic behind the decryption of the H47 cipher system clearly.
At the end of the speech, the audience applauded loudly. Li Wenxi bowed and felt more satisfied than ever before. She saw Professor Wang gave her a thumbs up. At this moment, Li Wenxi knew that her efforts were not in vain. She successfully demonstrated her research and stood on the world stage.
Maybe this is why hard work is addictive.
Amid the applause, she looked across the glass room again and saw that familiar face - Hao Sanmei was also smiling at her and giving her a thumbs up. Li Wenxi smiled at Hao Sanmei and nodded gently.
It was a great pleasure to meet old friends.
After the meeting ended that day, Li Wenxi and Professor Wang did not get a chance to rest. Many industry leaders came to communicate with them, especially about the decryption process of the H47 cipher system, with countless questions and curiosity. Li Wenxi never thought that she would attract so much attention.
Standing not far away, Hao Sanmei looked at Li Wenxi's busy figure with full of pride and excitement in her eyes. This little partner who once fought together has grown up to be able to stand on the podium of the International Cryptography Conference. How can people not be excited?
Hao Sanmei waited patiently until Li Wenxi finally had some free time after talking to a cryptographer. Hao Sanmei took this opportunity to walk over, patted Li Wenxi on the shoulder, and handed her a small note with the hotel room number written on it. Li Wenxi saw the number on the note and said hurriedly, "I'll come to see you tonight."
Hao Sanmei smiled and nodded, then turned around and continued to work. Li Wenxi had to follow Professor Wang to continue communicating with industry leaders.
The dinner was arranged by Professor Thomas, a well-known mathematics professor in the United States. The dinner location this time was chosen in a garden of the hotel, which was full of lush plants, decorating a quiet and comfortable atmosphere.
After Professor Thomas and Professor Wang exchanged a few pleasantries, they began to introduce the accompanying personnel to each other enthusiastically. When Professor Thomas introduced an Asian-looking man, he smiled proudly: "I want to introduce this man in particular. He is my favorite student, Chen Zhiyan. He is also a Chinese who studied at Tsinghua University. He is an alumnus of Professor Wang and you."
Li Wenxi had already seen Chen Zhiyan standing next to Professor Thomas. This slightly thin but still bookish young man was her ex-boyfriend, Chen Zhiyan. Although she hadn't seen him for several years, she still had a deep memory of this familiar face.
Chen Zhiyan had also seen Li Wenxi a long time ago. He nodded at her with a smile in his eyes and excitement.
"Nice to meet you, Zhiyan." Professor Wang nodded with a smile, "It seems that the talents of Tsinghua University are really all over the world."
Chen Zhiyan smiled gently: "Yes, Professor Wang, I am really happy to meet you and Xiaoxi here."
"Oh? You know our Wenxi?" Professor Wang asked curiously.
"Not only do we know each other, we are also classmates." Chen Zhiyan smiled.
After Professor Wang was surprised, he thought it was normal when he thought of their ages, and sighed: "Sure enough, they are both young and promising."
The two professors immediately started their communication, and Li Wenxi and Chen Zhiyan on the side also naturally started chatting.
Chen Zhiyan smiled and asked, "Xiaoxi, you are really great. I saw your speech today and I am so proud of you. I read your paper and it is really great."
Li Wenxi looked at him and said, "Thank you."
Li Wenxi asked about Chen Zhiyan's recent situation. Chen Zhiyan patiently described his recent research direction to her. Li Wenxi listened carefully and heard that he had made considerable achievements in the field of mathematics. It seems that Professor Thomas's respect for him is indeed justified.
After the two chatted about academic matters for a while, Chen Zhiyan suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Xiaoxi, are you still single now?" Li
Wenxi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I'm getting married soon."
Chen Zhiyan smiled gently: "Is it the boy named Han Yi?"
Li Wenxi asked curiously: "How do you know?"
Chen Zhiyan smiled, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "He likes you very much, I can see it at a glance. I can also see that he was very jealous of me at the time." At this point, there was a hint of smile in his voice, "After I left, how could he not seize this opportunity? I think he I should cherish you especially now. You look like you should be very happy."
Li Wenxi smiled and nodded gently after hearing this: "Yes, I am very happy now."
Chen Zhiyan looked at her expression and was very pleased: "That's great."
Li Wenxi asked curiously: "What about you?"
Chen Zhiyan smiled gently: "I'm getting married soon, and my girlfriend and I have a good relationship. She has always supported me and made me feel very happy."
Li Wenxi smiled sincerely and wished him well: "That's great too."
The two smiled knowingly, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on them, which was both warm and beautiful.
They have all changed, yet they seem to have not changed.
