This scene wasn't just happening at Kyoto University; a similar situation unfolded in other universities as well.

The difference was that they weren't investigating their own students, but rather students from Kyoto University.

The academic circle isn't large, and if there's even a slight disturbance, the entire circle knows.

It's not that news travels quickly, but that there are very few people in this circle.

Fang Yuan's name thus became a hot topic in the mathematics departments of universities nationwide.

"Speaking of which, why does this name sound so familiar? It's like I've heard it somewhere before?" An old man in the Kyoto University Mathematics Department Director's office muttered to himself.

Ah, right, this old man's name is Yang Yong. Among all mathematicians in the country, his status can be ranked in the top five.

If it weren't for the lack of good candidates for the position of Director of the Mathematics Department at Kyoto University,

he should be at home enjoying his retirement now.

But it's precisely because of this situation that he places extra emphasis on talent cultivation.

Fang Yuan was still unaware that he had been targeted by professors in mathematics departments of universities across the country.

… …

"Speaking of which, are people so uninterested in academia these days? It's been so long since I published my paper, and no one has come to ask me about it?" Fang Yuan was wondering about this.

Actually, it's not surprising that people aren't paying attention to this.

Who would have thought that Fang Yuan, a computer science student, would publish a paper in a renowned international mathematics journal?

If this were said aloud, not many people would believe it.

Everyone is now looking for Fang Yuan.

But no one has yet realized that Fang Yuan is actually a computer science student.

Besides, there's more than one person named Fang Yuan in the entire Hua country.

That's why people haven't discovered him yet.

Also, his publication fee wasn't paid in vain.

At least Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics sent him a few copies of the June issue.

Fang Yuan didn't have anyone he wanted to give these journals to.

So he kept them as a memento, after all, it was his first time publishing an article in a journal of this level.

Actually, there were people he wanted to give them to.

One was Professor Li, and the other was Father Fang.

But after considering it, Professor Li and Father Fang weren't very proficient in mathematics.

If it were a computer science paper, he could show it to them.

Speaking of which, Fang Yuan received the review comments for his computer science paper.

The three reviewers all believed there were no problems with his paper.

If there were no accidents, his paper would be published in the July issue.

… …

The tense and exciting exam period slowly passed.

Just as Fang Yuan was reviewing, a phone call interrupted his thoughts.

Fang Yuan picked up his phone and looked.

Oh, isn't this Professor Li? Professor Li has contacted him very few times this semester.

But Fang Yuan still respected this teacher who had given him so much help.

"Hello! Professor Li," Fang Yuan answered the phone.

"Fang Yuan, did you submit a paper to Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics?" Professor Li's voice carried a hint of joy, as well as a hint of reproach.

"Yes, that was back in March!" Fang Yuan was very happy; this matter had finally been discovered.

"Good, good! Good lad! You've really made me proud this time! Let old Yang always look down on us!" Professor Li said happily.

"By the way, do you have time now? Come to my office!" Professor Li said.

"But, I'm reviewing right now!" Fang Yuan hesitated a bit.

"What are you reviewing for? Hurry over here. Today, I'm going to let old Yang see the treasure of our computer science department!

Let him always mock us. This time, I'll let him know that our computer science students are much stronger than their mathematics students," Professor Li's voice became excited.

"Okay… I'll go over now!" Fang Yuan agreed.

Actually, Fang Yuan could understand Professor Li's feelings.

After all, the mathematics department of Kyoto University is a true ace department.

But the computer science department is not yet among the best in the country.

Moreover, computer science is more like an extension of mathematics.

If you really think about it, mathematics is the father of computer science.

Looking at it this way, Professor Li must have been bullied a lot by that "old Yang" he mentioned.

Fang Yuan wanted to fulfill Professor Li's request as much as possible.

After all, he still had to continue in the computer science department.

It was only right to give Professor Li some face.

Moreover, this was the best opportunity to promote himself!

Professor Li was clearly giving him a chance to show off!

At this moment, Fang Yuan was truly grateful to Professor Li.

Judging from the other party's attitude, Fang Yuan knew that the reward for his main quest would exceed his expectations.

Fang Yuan didn't yet know what the journal Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics meant.

It was the most prestigious journal in the mathematics field, apart from the four top journals.

Its international influence would only exceed his expectations.

Taking Kyoto University, the top mathematics department in the country, as an example,

no more than three articles pass the review of Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics each year.

And none of these three articles are completed by current students.

Even extending to the national scope, no more than five articles pass the review.

That's right, it's that few, which shows how valuable Fang Yuan's paper is.

Now, Director Yang of the Mathematics Department had only one thought, and that was to snatch Fang Yuan over.

Such an excellent student wasn't studying mathematics, but instead ran off to study computer science?

He wasn't so old that he couldn't even snatch a student.

Moreover, he was confident that no one could refuse the olive branch of the Kyoto University Mathematics Department.

… …

Fang Yuan quickly arrived at Professor Li's office.

Fang Yuan was quite familiar with this office.

Last semester, he spent a very difficult time in this office.

Fang Yuan remembered Professor Li's help during that time.

After standing at the office door for a while, Fang Yuan knocked on the office door.

"Please come in!" Professor Li's voice came from inside.

If Fang Yuan didn't hear wrong, his voice also carried a hint of pride and joy.

Pushing open the office door, besides Professor Li, there was also an old man sitting on the sofa.

This was probably the "old Yang" that Professor Li was talking about, right?

Fang Yuan thought to himself.

Sure enough, Fang Yuan was right.

After Professor Li briefly introduced that the person was Fang Yuan, the smile on his face was like a flower.

"Fang Yuan! Let me introduce you, this is the Director of the Mathematics Department, Yang Yong, Professor Yang!" Professor Li said.

"This is the Fang Yuan I've been looking for, right?" Before Professor Li could continue, the old man sitting on the sofa couldn't wait to say.

"Yes, he is the Fang Yuan you're looking for," Professor Li generously admitted.
