Chapter 202 Notification
"I found it. The one that was shown face-to-face this week is not the one interviewing you. It seems that it will be released next week."
Zhang Qiuyu soon searched for relevant information. After reading the information, he said with some disappointment.
At this time, Ding Daoliang was searching for today's news. It was already past 7:30, and the news network had finished playing. He was looking for replays on the Internet, so he could fast forward and drag the progress bar.
"Hey, look, look..."
Soon, Ding Daoliang showed his cell phone to the other roommates. At this time, the news on Ding Daoliang's cell phone was reporting about Zhao Xiancai, and Zhao Xiancai was being interviewed.
"Here I go, it really made the news. Wow, Ding Ding, send me the link to your video and I'll take a screenshot and send it to the group."
After seeing Zhao Xiancai in the news video on the screen of Ding Daoliang's mobile phone, Zhang Qiuyu said to Ding Daoliang.
"Gungungun, you are Ding Ding. Don't always call me that. You can call me Xiao Ding, Lao Ding, or Daoliang. Just don't call me Ding Ding."
Hearing Zhang Qiuyu call him that, Zhang Qiuyu said to him with a look of disgust while forwarding him the link to the news video.
When they were children and watched "The Adventures of Tintin", they didn't have any other feelings about the word "Tintin", but they don't know when it started to have another meaning, and they couldn't bear to mention it.
Stared straight.
"I have something else I want to tell you." Zhao Xiancai said again.
"What's up?"
After hearing what Zhao Xiancai said, Ding Daoliang and Cui Pingge looked at him curiously and asked.
"What you want to talk about is about the bonus, right?" Zhang Qiuyu, who was clicking on the video link sent to him by Ding Daoliang, also asked.
"No, you all know about the bonus aside from talking about it. What I want to say is that I have been quite happy to be roommates with you for more than a year, and I am very happy to be roommates with you."
Zhao Xiancai said that since he would graduate next year and leave school, he should explain some things clearly to Zhang Qiuyu and the others in advance, so as not to wait until before leaving.
However, Zhao Xiancai's sudden words left Zhang Qiuyu and the others a little confused.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly say this as if you're about to say goodbye? It's still early for us to graduate. We still have more than two years to go."
"You don't have a terminal illness and you don't have much time, do you?"
"Ah? Really? This is really jealous of Yingcai. How long do you have?"
"Okay, okay, what are you talking about? You have watched too many TV series. We are indeed about to say goodbye, but it doesn't mean that I am going to die."
Seeing that their topic seemed to have suddenly gone awry, Zhao Xiancai quickly stopped them.
"Then why did you say you were leaving? Could it be that you are going abroad to be an exchange student?"
Seeing that Zhao Xiancai had passed away not long ago, Zhang Qiuyu and the others asked curiously.
The so-called "exchange student", also known as the inter-school student exchange program, is a project with the purpose of strengthening mutual understanding and respect among students from different regions and countries, and cultivating young people's global outlook. Students learn in an international and diversified classroom environment
Studying abroad and becoming familiar with the learning environments in different countries will help you formulate future learning goals and plans after completing your university studies.
Many domestic universities have exchange student programs, among which Shuimu and Beijing University have the most exchange students. It is normal for Zhang Qiuyu and others to be the first to think of this.
“I wasn’t an exchange student, but the college saw that I had almost finished my undergraduate professional courses, so they asked me if I wanted to graduate early.
After careful consideration, I have made the decision that I will graduate before the summer vacation next year." Zhao Xiancai said.
"Graduation? Isn't it? You are about to graduate in your sophomore year?"
"Besides the professional courses, there are some courses that you cannot apply for exemption from, right? You haven't finished them yet? Can you graduate early?"
"Then what are your plans after graduation? Will you go abroad or continue your graduate studies in China?"
The word graduation seems to be quite far away for Zhang Qiuyu and the others, who have only been in college for a year and a half, so they never imagined that Zhao Xiancai would graduate so soon.
At this time, everyone's expressions were different, ranging from surprise to disappointment. Regardless of whether Zhao Xiancai would continue to study in China after graduation or go abroad for further study, it was unlikely that they would continue to live in the same dormitory.
"Go abroad." Zhao Xiancai said.
"Which university? Princeton or MIT? Or Harvard? Or the Ecole Normale Supérieure?"
Ding Daoliang asked Zhao Xiancai that the schools he mentioned were some of the most powerful universities in the world in mathematics departments.
"Right now, I have only received invitations from Princeton University, so I have decided on Princeton University for the time being. If schools like MIT and Harvard also send out invitations later, maybe it will be changed." Zhao Xiancai said with a smile, but he did not say anything.
If you stick to your words, it will be more or less embarrassing if you change your mind or fail to go due to some other reasons.
"Ah! It seems that I have to ask you more questions while you are still in school. Otherwise, when you leave, we will have to solve the problems ourselves."
"Then you might as well start writing your undergraduate thesis now, and let him teach you everything you don't know."
"In this case, it would be better to just ask him to write an undergraduate thesis for each of us. This is simply a piece of cake for a master like him who has published a paper in the "Annals of Mathematics".
Right, Zhao Shen."
Although they knew that Zhao Xiancai would graduate next year and they would not be able to see him when they came back after next year's summer vacation, everyone still laughed and joked.
"Then just be direct, or I will write a paper for each of you that will allow you to be directly promoted to full professor." Zhao Xiancai also said to them jokingly.
"Ah? This is not good. What are you going to write that will allow us to be directly promoted to full professors at Peking University before we even graduate from undergraduate degrees?"
"Yes, this is probably a more difficult study than proving Erdős's arithmetic sequence conjecture."
"Little things, like the Riemann Hypothesis, the Hodge Hypothesis, the Goldbach Hypothesis... If any of these conjectures are proved, let alone a full professor at any university in China, all universities around the world will open their doors."
…
When Zhao Xiancai finished chatting with his roommates and went to take a shower, when he turned on his phone after taking a shower and going to bed, he found that not everyone stopped reading the news.
Even before he returned to his dormitory, some of the groups he joined already had screenshots and animated pictures of him in the news, but he had never looked at the groups before that.
