He stayed throughout that meeting and naturally knew this behavior pattern. In fact, this behavior has many names.

For example, academic posters—

To put it bluntly, it is a poster exchange session. Write your research results on the poster, and when other mathematicians are wandering around and meet someone who is interested, everyone can exchange a few words.

People who do this include students and professors. Some conferences even charge fees specifically for this kind of behavior.

You have to pay money for poster exchange before you can set up a stall in the hall to sell your mathematical ideas during the conference.

"It's good to know. When Mr. Yuan took me shopping, he told me that few Chinese mathematicians chose to communicate with people in this way before. Because in the international mathematics community, including many of our own people in China, there are still many people

He believes that the soil for mathematics research in China is very poor and cannot produce great masters.

So they don’t care that much about many mathematical ideas of Chinese mathematicians. But Mr. Yuan told me that things have changed after you won the Fields Medal. During the International Congress of Mathematicians, Chinese mathematicians have already set up a curtain there.

And almost everyone is surrounded by many people. They are very curious about the progress of Chinese mathematics research. In particular, your generalized modal axiom system has triggered a lot of discussions.

In addition, Mr. Yuan took me to one lecture after another. The lectures with the most people this year were all attended by our Chinese mathematicians on stage.

I was most proud when I heard what Mr. Yuan said to me. I thought, look, there are many outstanding Chinese mathematicians. Because of my son, more international mathematicians are willing to speak now.

listen.

They have all taken advantage of my son!"

Qiao Yu looked at Qiao Xi blankly. Well, he was sure that his mother had not been brainwashed by Mr. Yuan, because when he talked about this matter, the proud look on his face could be seen.

But obviously this is not over yet. Before Qiao Yu could digest the meaning of Qiao Xi's words, dear mother asked again: "And do you know who the most concerned and popular young mathematician at this conference is, besides you?

Who?」

Qiao Yu thought for half a second and replied, "You're not going to say it's Senior Brother Chen, are you?"

"The answer is correct, but incomplete. It's your senior brother Chen and Professor Xue. You can't imagine how busy they are during the meeting. People visit them every day, and many very powerful international private universities offer them olive branches.

And all this is because of you, Qiao Yu. This is what makes me most proud. Even if a thousand or ten thousand people emphasize in front of me how amazing the Fields Medal winner is, they can't bring me this.

Such a feeling! So shocked, so excited, so proud!"

Qiao Xi's tone didn't actually fluctuate much, but it already surprised Qiao Yu.

After all, there have been ups and downs this time. The two have lived together for more than ten years. Of course, Qiao Yu knows how reserved Qiao Xi's temper is on weekdays. Even if she praises him, it has a taste of indifference.

Instead of directly expressing my mood at that time with my tone of voice like today.

"So when I was still in Philadelphia, I kept thinking, does your grandfather really want you to buy his community and put his statue at the entrance of the community? Actually, no.

If he could know about your achievements and know that because of you, the importance of Chinese mathematicians has been greatly improved in the world, and more people have to bend down and listen humbly to what Chinese mathematicians are saying, he would definitely be happy.

Gotta go crazy!

I believe you can understand. Because you know your grandpa best, you know better than me what he loves and hates most in his life!"

Hearing this, Qiao Yu nodded and said honestly: "Well, I remember, grandpa said,

What he is most proud of in his life is that he can always stand upright as a human being.

I hate the kind of people who live like dogs the most, and they tell me that I must be a man in the future and never be like Frank’s family. If I don’t do good things, I will be a dog for others and I will be very proud of it.”

Qiao Xi didn't answer this sentence. She seemed to be in a trance as she thought of something. It took a while before she realized what she was saying.

Rarely smiled gently at Qiao Yu.

"Yes, look, not only can you stand tall as a person, but you can also make many Chinese mathematicians do research and speak knowledge like you. You have done a good job!

Don't put too much pressure on yourself, at least don't put too much pressure on yourself to make money! I hope you can follow your heart, live a happy life, and do research happily.

To enjoy the process of life, rather than to do those things with a strong purpose. Or to face career and life with a calculating mentality. Can you understand what I mean?"

Qiao Yu nodded. What he was thinking about at this time was what Qiao Xi told him when he went to Xiaozhou to participate in the Little Li Baba Mathematics Competition with the good old man in the third year of junior high school.

"Outside, you must be more sincere and less calculating -

Qiao Xi nodded and said, "It's good if you understand. Mom hopes that you can find something you like, or find what you really want and want to pursue, so that you won't be able to do it when you are at my age.

Regret for anything."

Qiao Yu thought for a while and asked: "So even if I feel that I don't really like mathematics that much,

If I want to do other things in the future, will you support me?"

Qiao Xi smiled sweetly and replied: "As long as you feel happy, I will definitely support you. But you are not allowed to tell Director Tian and Mr. Yuan! After all, I am your mother. As long as you don't do things that are not in line with most people,

As long as the bad values ​​​​are."

"Mom, is this really what Mr. Yuan asked you to talk to me about?"

"Haha, of course not. But I am your mother, so of course I have the final say on how to discuss it."

"Oh!" Qiao Yu thought for a while, then stood up from the table, took the initiative to come over, hugged Qiao Xi, and whispered in her ear: "Thank you, mom, you can be proud of me!"

The warmth lasted only three seconds, and Qiao Yu said playfully: "Fortunately, I am quite interested in mathematics now. Otherwise, Director Tian and Mr. Yuan will definitely make trouble for you. But I will definitely think about it as you said.

, plan my life well.

Anyway, don’t worry, I will definitely not wrong myself! But have you ever thought about the possibility that I can actually do something that makes you proud, and I will feel very happy?"
