"Alas, since the news that proved Erdös's arithmetic sequence conjecture was reported, I can no longer study this well.

After this interview is over and the one million bonus is collected, the only thing that will happen after this year is the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award, right?"

Zhao Xiancai sighed and said to himself.

If the award ceremony didn't have the one million and only a name, Zhao Xiancai would definitely tell Dean Yang that he had something to do and couldn't go, so he would shirk it.

And if the interview wasn't from CCTV or Flower Club, Zhao Xiancai would probably have declined it.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Xian walked to the cafeteria.

After eating in the cafeteria, Zhao Xiancai returned to the library.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xiancai ran to the library again, and when the time was almost up, he rushed to the Beigong Building that Dean Yang mentioned yesterday.

The main building has a hilltop roof, with auxiliary buildings on both wings. It is located on a tall granite platform, with red columns and white walls, brackets and colorful paintings, and the colors are simple and elegant.

There are also Qilin and Danchi in front of the building.

Beigong Building is the office building of Peking University. It is the place where the president and party committee of Peking University work. It was built in 1926 and was originally named "Shide Building". In 1931, it was named by the Yenching University Building Naming Committee.

"Beigong Building", this is how the current name Beigong Building came into being.

Among them, the names "Shi De" and "Beigong" are both commemorating Bei Shide, the second president of Huiwen University, one of the predecessors of Yenching University.

"You are really good at timing. You're already over 50 years old. Let's go."

Dean Yang, who was standing at the door of the building, saw Zhao Xiancai and said to him with a smile while leading him into the office building.

"Actually, the school didn't originally plan to hold an award ceremony. It was mainly because reporters from CCTV were coming to do an exclusive interview with you, so we organized an award ceremony by the way.

The process of this award ceremony is very simple. When the time comes, you can go on stage and express your feelings, and then let people take a few photos."

When rushing to the conference room, Dean Yang probably told Zhao Xiancai about the award ceremony.

"I thought the meeting wouldn't start until nine o'clock anyway, so I went to the library to sit for a meeting in the morning. I'm not late, so there should be no problem, right?"

After hearing what Dean Yang said, Zhao Xiancai asked with some worry. He was mainly worried that the principal would be angry and take back the promised one million instead of giving it back, although this was unlikely.

"You, you, you, I'm almost sixty, and it's rare for me to meet students like you who race against time and don't miss every second to study.

Don't worry, it's nothing.

Don’t say you’re not late now, even if you’re really late for a while, no one will say anything.”

Dean Yang said.

After chatting for a few words, they quickly arrived at the conference room.

In the conference room, Dean Yang brought Zhao Xiancai to the principal.

"Young, you are indeed young.

Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years. This is really true.

I heard that you are not yet twenty?"

After being introduced by Dean Yang, Zhao Xiancai and the principal met for the first time.

After the meeting, the principal told Zhao Xiancai with a smile on his face that during his tenure, some students in the school solved world-class mathematical conjectures, which was also a great political achievement for him.

"I turned 18 this year." Zhao Xiancai said.

"You have just grown up. You can achieve such great achievements at this age. The future is limitless..."

The two chatted for a few words before Zhao Xiancai came on stage.

Soon the principal also came on stage. After he handed an enlarged foam sign of a check of one million Chinese National Bank to Zhao Xiancai, Zhao Xiancai said a few more acceptance speeches, and the award ceremony ended.

During the award ceremony, there were not many people taking photos.

The next time is for reporters to interview.

"Hello, I am Wang Jiamei, a reporter from CCTV. We would like to conduct an interview with you, is that okay?"

After getting off the stage, a smiling female reporter came to Zhao Xiancai and said to Zhao Xiancai.

"Okay, where can I go for the interview? Is it right here?"

Zhao Xiancai nodded and asked, he still wanted to start the interview early and end it early so that he could go about his own business.

"Is the library okay?" Reporter Wang asked.

She chose the library mainly because she felt that Zhao Xiancai was a student, and this time he wanted to appear on the screen as a super academic who solved world-class mathematical conjectures and be seen by the whole country.

Therefore, choosing the library as the location for the interview can better demonstrate Zhao Xiancai’s academic status.

However, Zhao Xiancai obviously didn't think that much. After hearing that reporter Wang chose the library as the interview location, he frowned and then said: "I don't think it's good to go to the library because it will disturb the study in the library."

classmates. Let’s just find a place where no one is around.”

In fact, if the interview is done in the library, it will be somewhat beneficial to Zhao Xiancai, because after the interview, Zhao Xiancai does not have to make another trip and can directly return to his previous position to continue studying. However, Zhao Xiancai is not such a selfish person.

"If you haven't chosen an interview location yet, you can go to my office for the interview. My office is quiet."

Dean Yang had also walked over at this time. He had obviously heard the conversation between Zhao Xiancai and Reporter Wang just now.

In this way, Zhao Xiancai and Reporter Wang followed Dean Yang to his office.

"...Do you have any ideas for the next step? Is there a direction? Can you tell us more specifically about this?"

"Do you feel that you are under pressure to solve this conjecture? Because you must achieve greater achievements than solving this conjecture in the future, otherwise people may have various other voices."

"Many people now think you are a genius. Do you think you are a genius?"

"Why do you think that for such a world-class problem, many scholars have been investing their energy in research for decades but have not been able to solve it, but it was you who solved it?"

"What makes you what you are today? Is it fun, curiosity, or hard work and diligence?"

…

Zhao Xiancai originally thought that this interview would be just like the last interview with the Flower Club, with a few simple questions and it would be over. Unexpectedly, the content of this interview was much longer than he thought. The interview lasted about an hour.

Finish.

"Excuse me, when will your interview be broadcast on which episode?"

After the interview, Zhao Xiancai couldn't help but ask reporter Wang.

The interview has been going on for so long. If he doesn’t even know which program and program of CCTV this interview will be broadcast on, wouldn’t it be a waste of more than an hour of his time?

"If it is produced quickly, the content of our interview will be broadcast on Xinwen Network tonight, but the content of the interview on Xinwen Network will only be ten or tens of seconds.

More interviews will still have to be specially reported in an interview program called "Face to Face" on Channel 13. The specific reporting time will be determined after returning to the station and according to the arrangements of the station leaders.

How about we add a contact information so that if the station wants to report, I can tell you in advance?"

Reporter Wang said.
