If anyone knows the identity of "Uncle Chen", their jaws will probably be shocked by the hearty laughter and the joking and friendly tone. You must know the stormy appearance of this big boss when he criticized people at the National Education Work Conference.

It just makes people tremble.

Qin Ke didn't know Uncle Chen's "magnificent achievements", but he also knew that it was not a trivial matter for such a big shot to call, so he smiled and said: "I don't call you 'shengfen', but I respect you. What do you want from me?"

Something?"

"Brat, can't I chat with you if I have nothing to do?"

"Of course I am willing to listen to your teachings. Aren't you afraid of delaying your work? Your time is countless times more valuable than an idle college student like me."

"You're so sweet-talking. If it weren't for your outstanding academic achievements, I would have hired you to be my secretary after you graduate. By the way, I heard that you also declined PhD offers from Princeton University and Cambridge University.

What are the conditions for staying in school to teach? You kid has a good sense of consciousness."

Qin Ke smiled sheepishly: "I just want to return home early and listen to more of your and Uncle Yang's teachings."

"Okay, okay, uncle is calling you just to tell you that your choice is correct. You will definitely gain more in your motherland than you would at Princeton or Cambridge University."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen. No matter what, as long as you can stay in the motherland and contribute to the construction of the motherland, it doesn't matter whether you are treated well or not."

"You are still playing this trick in front of me, you brat. In short, your performance at Princeton this time is very good. I might as well tell you that your name has been mentioned by the superiors recently, and you have also given instructions at the meeting. If you are like this

Outstanding young students with both good character and academic performance should be focused on publicity and reporting... Therefore, what is yours will be yours. Also, come back early. If you have any difficulties that the school cannot solve, just call my secretary directly.

, don’t break up with your uncle. Please give me a call when you have time, Uncle Yang."

"Thank you Uncle Chen for your advice. I will report to Uncle Yang on my recent ideological life later."

Uncle Chen nodded with satisfaction. He is such a smart young man and can be taught: "Okay, have a good rest. The motherland will not forget your contribution. Work hard and don't be proud. I hope you will achieve better results."

…

Although "Uncle Chen" asked Qin Ke to have a good rest, Qin Ke really didn't have time to take a good rest.

Because the Princeton University student union invited him to be a guest, Qin Ke kept meeting, shaking hands, and taking photos with students from Princeton University all afternoon. He felt like his face was frozen with laughter.

Whenever an enthusiastic young lady wanted to kiss him or hug him, Qin Ke would avoid it with a smile: "Sorry, we don't have such etiquette in our country."

However, the results of this busy work are also very significant. His witty remarks when answering interviews with reporters and questions from the students of the University made him the protagonist that the students of the University talked about, and he also became the most popular guest in the school.

The status of Xia Guo students at Pudong University, such as Xu Jiyao and other graduate students, has also quietly risen, and there are many warm smiles around them.

It was not until the evening of that day that Qin Ke had time to ask the staff of the organizing committee for all the meeting minutes and report ppts these days. The staff was very polite to him, copied a stack of thick documents to him, and asked him if he needed them.

If necessary, you can burn the video of the report meeting to a CD or USB flash drive and give it to him.

Qin Ke declined. Paper documents should be enough.

That night, Qin Ke put aside all social activities and concentrated on reading these precious materials. He did not stop until he got into the car heading to the airport.

…

Just when Qin Ke, Sun Liwen, Chen Ming, and Zheng Haiqiao were taking an international flight back to Xia Kingdom.

In Xia Guo, Beijing, in the office building of the Mathematics Society, dozens of judges from various universities are busy making selections for the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award.

The Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award is the highest award for young and middle-aged mathematicians in China. It is awarded every two years and is called a term. Each term will select two candidates from more than a thousand candidates after three rounds of voting and screening.

List of winners.

Candidates must be mathematics scholars who are at least 18 years old and no more than 50 years old, and are engaged in mathematics research or mathematics teaching in China.

Candidates must also be recommended by domestic mathematics research units, colleges and universities, the National Association of Mathematics Groups, or jointly recommended by five full professors.

The selection criteria are mainly based on whether the candidates have made outstanding contributions to the basic theory or applied research of mathematics, and whether they have achieved excellent results, that is, academic achievements. In addition, they also look at reputation, conduct, evaluation, etc. in the academic world.

The selection work is carried out by the Xia Guo Mathematics Society, and the expert panel members are full professors of the Department of Mathematics selected by lot from across the country.

It has now reached the second round, and there are only one hundred and two candidates left from more than a thousand candidates - oh, there were only one hundred people originally, but then there were two special names, and they were submitted through a special channel.

And it will directly enter the second round results list.

Some experts can't help but murmur in their hearts about this.

In fact, before this, the expert group has basically decided on the selection of two scholars to win this award. One is a full professor of the Yan University School, a returnee from MIT who graduated from MIT, and is currently 43 years old and a full professor;

One is a 45-year-old Ph.D. in Mathematics from Aurora University. He is currently a senior researcher at the Xia Institute of Mathematics, Academy of Sciences, and is a leader of the Aurora School.

The winners of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize in every session are basically from these two factions.

But this time... there are two fierce dragons coming from across the river. They are from the Qingmu University faction, a "weak chicken" faction that they didn't even look at in the past.

The experts looked at the photos of the overly young college students in the two materials with some headaches: "Two of them, one is 18 years old, and the other has just turned 19 years old...are they too young?"

Hao Jianchang, president of the Mathematics Society, drank tea slowly, said nothing, and just glanced to the side.

A middle-aged director of the Mathematics Society standing next to him immediately stood up: "Age is not a problem. According to the selection criteria, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are fully qualified to enter the third round of voting."

"The problem is, doesn't the international academic community still not fully recognize the academic achievements of the two of them?" An expert from the Sinian Department continued to question.

"That's right, 18 or 19 years old. This is really too young. Many people with qualifications and achievements in the field of mathematics are afraid of dissatisfaction..."

"They are still young. I suggest we wait for another two years. If the international academic community can really recognize their achievements, it will not be too late to make the selection again."

More than a dozen experts from the Sinian Department spoke one after another.

An expert from the Department of Yan University suddenly stood up and said: "I have a different view. The so-called 'the international academic community has not officially recognized their academic achievements' is just a lack of process. There were so many international mathematicians attending the meeting the day before yesterday.

Even among the authorities in the world, none of them stood up to overthrow the 'fourth-order transformation method of lime number theory', and these six demonstration processes are enough to prove that the academic achievements of Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun are widely recognized."

Another expert from the Department of Yan University also stood up and said: "At least the 'Twin Prime Numbers-Qin Theorem' has been posted on the homepage of IU's official website. No one can deny this academic achievement. Based on this theorem alone, Qin will not be selected for this session.

It’s hard to stop the mouths of the world.”

"Ning Qingyun and Qin Ke jointly created the 'fourth-order transformation method of lime number theory', which proved three world-class conjectures and should also be selected."

"The complete video of the report meeting has been released. I have carefully studied all the argumentation processes. It is indeed very clever and there are no mistakes or omissions."

The experts from the Aurora Department looked at these people in surprise, thinking to themselves, hasn't Yanda University always been at odds with Qingmu University? Why did you suddenly come to support the students of Qingmu University?

"That's right, look at the voices on the Internet. If Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun fail to win this Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award, I'm afraid it will arouse strong protests and doubts from the public."

"I also support Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun entering the third round of voting."

"These two young men should be selected."

"The Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award should not be linked to seniority, faction, or age, but should only be based on academic achievements and character. In this regard, Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun are impeccable. I recommend them to enter the third round of voting."

, have a supportive attitude.”

Another twenty-odd neutral judges who had nothing to do with the Yan University or the Aurora Department also spoke out to support Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

Hao Jianchang, president of the Mathematical Society, spoke up at this time: "Since most people agree that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun will enter the third round of voting, let's prepare and vote in half an hour."

There will only be four candidates left in the third round, and all the judges will vote to select two people. These two people will be the winners of this year's Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award.

Seeing that President Hao Jianchang, who was usually cautious in his words and deeds and rarely expressed his opinions during the selection process, actually promoted this matter in such an obvious manner, the experts from the Sinian School discovered that something was wrong.

A certain Sinian expert had a close personal relationship with a professor from Yanda University and asked quietly. The professor winked at him and pointed upward.

The Cathay expert was shocked and secretly cursed himself for being so stupid for not asking about the most important wind direction after coming to the capital! After he returned to his seat, he whispered a few words, those Cathay experts who had selfish motives or were obstructed out of pure jealousy

They immediately broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

In the third round of voting, the seventy-three judges of the expert group picked up their pens and circled the names of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

Soon, the news that "Qingmu University freshmen Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun won this year's Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award with a unanimous vote" spread in the mathematics circle at an extremely fast speed...

…

Qin Ke, who was on the plane, naturally didn't know that he had won the award, and he didn't pay much attention to it. After receiving the call from Uncle Chen, he basically calmed down. It was his and no one could take it away.

Therefore, he has been studying the meeting minutes and ppt materials of the last two days of the Pudong University Academic Symposium very attentively.

The meeting minutes are based on the recording of the entire process, combined with the transcripts of the stenographer arranged by the University at the time, and the written materials will be archived together with the video materials, so there is no need to worry about the academic results shared at the report meeting.

It was plagiarized and published in an academic journal first.

Qin Ke kept reading for nearly a day before he finished reading all the information and digested the knowledge inside.

"Ding! You studied the academic report on mathematics and got 5 academic points (mathematics)!"
Chapter completed!
