I've already flattered you before, so there's no need to emphasize it now.

Of course, Qiao Yu didn't even think that he was flattering his mentor. Strictly speaking, he was just stating a fact. It was just a little processed, and Senior Brother Chen, who played a role as a bridge in the middle, was deleted from the story.

"Okay, you go back to your room and read a book first. I'll call you when Reporter Zhang comes."

Qiao Yu obediently returned to his room, but within fifteen minutes he received a call from Tian Yanzhen.

When he arrived at Tian Yanzhen's room, his tutor had already changed into a set of clothes. The undetectable smell of alcohol on his body had dissipated.

There was also a young man in the room who looked to be in his thirties.

"Here, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Nuoke, the resident reporter of China News Service in Paris. This child is Qiao Yu, and he is also the star of hope for our future mathematics community in China!" "Hello, Zhang Reporter, Director Tian, ​​that's so flattering." Qiao Yu greeted politely.

I was a little bit embarrassed in my heart. Before accepting the interview, I told him to keep a low profile. However, when introducing him, he said that he is the star of hope in the future mathematics community of China. Well, he is very lax about self-discipline.

"Hello, Qiao Yu. I'm very glad that you agreed to be interviewed today. I saw your report at the scene today. Although I didn't understand it, I could feel that it was very impressive." Zhang Nuoke said with a smile.

Qiao Yu smiled shyly.

The description of momentum was too mysterious. He didn't believe that he could have any momentum. After another round of pleasantries, the three of them finally sat down.

Zhang Nuoke also asked: "How about we start now? Qiao Yu, do you need to warm up first?"

Qiao Yu shook his head and replied: "It's okay. In fact, I have been interviewed once and I am used to it."

After hearing this, Zhang Nuo was ridiculous and said, "I know. Before I came here, I watched the video of your previous interview with Star City Morning News, and your performance was very good. But your evaluation of MIT is very interesting."

It was difficult to answer this question, so Qiao Yu could only smile again.

Ever since he learned that the man left MIT after graduating with a master's degree, he had forgiven MIT. After all, MIT's attitude was much stronger than that of Berkeley. Not only did MIT let the man study for a Ph.D., he even allowed him to stay at MIT.

Became a professor in school.

After obtaining the consent of Qiao Yu and Tian Yanzhen, they took out a recording pen from their pockets and the interview officially began.

Before the interview officially started, Zhang Nuoke also gave a special reminder: "If you feel that the questions I ask are inappropriate or you don't want to answer them, you can choose not to answer them. It's just as easy as chatting between friends."

"Okay, Reporter Zhang."

"Stop being so formal, just call me Brother Zhang." "Brother Zhang, ask me."

"Well, I saw you said in an interview that Teacher Lan Jie was your first tutor in mathematics when you were in Star City Railway No. 1 Middle School, right? When you stand in your current perspective, how do you view your enlightenment?

Teacher’s?”

Zhang Nuoke's first question made Qiao Yu feel full of goodwill.

After all, this kind of question has a standard answer, which is easy to answer and can help him get into the state quickly.

"I have always been very grateful to Teacher Lan, just like I said last time..."

After praising the good old man and his former alma mater in a fancy way, and chatting with a few random questions, Zhang Nuoke gradually began to ask more in-depth questions.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you for having a paper that is about to be published in Ann.Math, the world's top mathematics journal. In addition to the report you gave today on the Langlands conjecture, these topics require very profound mathematical knowledge.

As a recognized mathematical genius, how do you choose your research direction? And what do you think is the biggest challenge you encounter when solving these problems? And how do you overcome these challenges?"

"Forehead.."

Qiao Yu subconsciously glanced at the smiling Tian Yanzhen next to him, and after thinking about it quickly, he answered: "As for the topic selection, it's actually about interest. I want to thank my teacher Tian Yanzhen for this.

With the master Yuan Zhengxin.

Since I came to Beijing, they have given me a high degree of freedom in my studies. They did not ask me to learn anything, but after finding out that I was interested, they helped me provide self-study materials.

For example, when he knew that I was interested in the geometric Langlands conjecture, Mr. Yuan introduced me to Professor Pan, who studied the geometric Langlands conjecture. As I said at the report meeting, Professor Pan provided me with a lot of help.

As for the challenges in research... I don't seem to feel any challenges. Because the tutors have no special requirements. I do these researches purely out of interest. I just find problems every day, think about them, and then solve them.

"

The answer to this question made Zhang Nuoke a little stuck...Is it okay if I don't feel challenged?

He subconsciously glanced at Tian Yanzhen next to him, but unfortunately the academician didn't have any expression.

"Is there any specific way of thinking or technique involved?"

Qiao Yu shook his head firmly and said, "There is really no such thing. If you can't think of it, just think about it. Of course, it's probably because I haven't encountered that particularly difficult problem. Or maybe the most difficult part has already been solved by someone.

It's done.

But in mathematics, sometimes we really rely on inspiration. My inspiration to solve the geometric Langlands conjecture is also thanks to my teacher Tian Yanzhen..."

Qiao Yu explained his method of dealing with those mathematicians again. Zhang Nuo was ridiculous.

"Just thinking", "I didn't encounter any difficulties", he didn't know whether to evaluate whether this was modesty or Versailles...

Although he is a liberal arts student, he has done homework in these aspects. Not to mention the Langlands conjecture of geometry, the problem of the upper bound of rational points on curves is definitely not simple. In other words, it is an article that can be valued by top mathematics journals.

The problems solved probably cannot be described as simple.

But he still likes such a straightforward way of expression...

"So what are your expectations or assumptions about future mathematical research?"

"After I talked with Professor Schultz yesterday, I found that my basic knowledge of mathematics is still very weak. In fact, Director Tian and Mr. Yuan also reminded me of this problem. So in the next period of time, I plan to focus on learning. Lay the foundation first.

Once you have a solid foundation, consider this issue again.”

"Well, a child with weak basic knowledge solved the geometric Langlands conjecture...

Zhang Nuoke thought to himself. Seeing Qiao Yu's cooperation, he suddenly became more courageous. He glanced at Tian Yanzhen next to him subconsciously, and then asked: "Just now, you thanked Professor Tian and Mr. Yuan more than once.

, then do you know that there was some unhappiness between Professor Tian and Mr. Yuan? So what do you think of the great reconciliation of the century in mathematics that has been hotly discussed on the Internet? "

Well, this question is very risky, Zhang Nuoke is already prepared to be kicked out by Tian Yanzhen.

Sure enough, he felt that Tian Yanzhen was about to speak. Fortunately, Qiao Yu asked curiously: "I don't know? What kind of reconciliation of the century? Hasn't the relationship between Director Tian and Mr. Yuan always been good?

?Where did you hear the news?"

"Well, there are related news on the Internet all the time." Zhang Nuoke said.

"That must be fake news!" Qiao Yu said firmly.

"But Mr. Yuan did criticize Professor Tian publicly." Zhang Nuoke couldn't help but said.

"Has Professor Na Tian publicly criticized Mr. Yuan?" Qiao Yu asked rhetorically.

Zhang Nuoke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"So, it's all fake news. Isn't it normal for tutors to criticize students? Haven't you been criticized by teachers when you were studying? Director Tian also criticized me. I can only listen at any time.

Ah, even after graduation.

After all, a teacher is always a teacher. So what you said just proves that Director Tian respects teachers and Mr. Yuan still cares about the students who have graduated. The relationship between teachers and students has always been very good."

Qiao Yu said with reason.

Well, in fact, when Zhang Nuoke mentioned the topic of the conflict between Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin and the reconciliation of the century, the material for this interview was almost enough.

Sensing that Academician Tian was no longer happy, Zhang Nuoke also stopped the interview at the right time, said goodbye and left in a sensible manner.

He dares to take such a risk because he is based in Paris anyway. This kind of world-class mathematician conference usually travels all over the world. I don’t know when the next one will be held in France, so I’m not too afraid to take this opportunity. A big math guy was offended.

However, reporters still have self-awareness. If they feel that they are no longer welcome, it is better to end the interview normally than to be kicked out.

Sure enough, when he said it was over, Tian Yanzhen just said a few words in a nonchalant manner and asked Qiao Yu to send him out.

The only thing that made him depressed was probably the answer given by Qiao Yu.

Reconciled.

If you just don’t admit that there was any conflict between the two people, then naturally there will be no big deal of the century.

In this regard, Zhang Nuoke can only give a thumbs up.

He is indeed a mathematical genius, and his ability to tell lies with open eyes is also very impressive!

However, after Zhang Nuoke left, only two teachers and students were left, and the atmosphere was still a little awkward. "You really don't know what happened back then?" Tian Yanzhen asked.

"I don't know." Qiao Yu shook his head confidently. Anyway, he really didn't care too much. As for the statements on the Internet, who can say whether they are true or false?

Seeing Qiao Yu's innocent look, Tian Yanzhen smiled to himself and said, "Actually, looking back now, there is really nothing to say. It's the same with any road. The higher you go, the narrower it becomes. Everyone You have your own ideas, but when you reach a high position, they are too narrow to accommodate the ideas of so many people. In the future, when you have a say in the mathematics world, you will face the same problem. There is no clear distinction between right and wrong. It’s just that you have to make a choice.”

Qiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Director Tian actually doesn't need to be so pessimistic. If the space is small, then we should find a way to expand it."

Tian Yanzhen glared at the young man, wanting to reprimand him a few words, but he couldn't bear to scold him, and finally just said: "Okay, rest early today. You still have to go and support Dennis and Professor Pan's report tomorrow morning. In the afternoon Yan You also want to go to the report meeting of Professor Zhou and Professor Li from Peking University."

"Okay, I'll go back first." "Yeah."

Seeing Qiao Yu leaving obediently, Tian Yanzhen sighed, and then laughed again. At least the road ahead is smooth now, so what's wrong?

Qiao Yu returned to the room and let out a sigh of relief.

Damn reporters are just asking random questions, it really tests people's adaptability... I really like which pot I don't open and pick up. If he hadn't been busy with making money since the fifth grade of elementary school, and developed the speaking skills to satisfy the funder, he would also I really don't know how to answer that question.

However, this also made Qiao Yu wary of the reporter industry. Next time he must try not to accept an interview. Even if he accepts an interview, he must first get the questions.
Chapter completed!
