Members of the Number Theory Section of the International Association of Mathematicians voted, with ten out of sixteen agreeing, three abstaining, and three opposing.
"Ten votes in favor, then invite Lu Xuanxin to Princeton to give a one-hour speech at the meeting." Chairman Viana made the final decision.
The mathematicians showed expectant expressions on their faces. They wanted to see what kind of surprises this young female mathematician would bring to everyone.
Professor Dionysis had a sneer in his eyes. He had always disliked Asians, especially Chinese. He always believed that only white people were the best scientists in the world.
As soon as the experts of the Number Theory Branch made their decision, someone quickly wrote an invitation letter and sent it to the mailbox of the School of Mathematics of Yenching University via both email and paper letter.
Not long after, Dean Gao of the School of Mathematics at Yenching University saw the email.
He frowned and looked carefully at the content of the email on the computer screen.
This international number theory research conference mainly invited several famous professors from Yenching University who have done research in number theory, including Professor Miao Liyin and others.
Lu Xuanxin's name was also on the list. Dean Gao didn't find it strange when he saw it, but what surprised him was that this conference actually invited Lu Xuanxin to give an one-hour academic report at the meeting!
One hour!
You know, mathematicians don't usually speak for too long, which is almost the limit of a conference. Usually, it's only about half an hour.
Is this the honor Lu Xuanxin received for solving Zhou's conjecture?
Dean Gao's expression changed several times, and his eyes were full of hesitation.
Lu Xuanxin, a rising star in mathematics among the freshmen, successfully solved Zhou's conjecture with her perseverance and love for mathematics, shocking the entire mathematics community. She is usually low-key and introverted, but her talent and strength should not be underestimated.
This matter really has both advantages and disadvantages, making it difficult to judge.
The benefits are obvious. For a girl to be able to give an hour-long academic report at an international conference is a great qualification enhancement for herself, Yenching University, and the School of Mathematics. This is not only a recognition of her talent, but also an enhancement of the status of women in the field of mathematics.
But the disadvantages are also obvious.
The most obvious thing is that Lu Xuanxin is only a freshman after all, and he is not from a competition background and has never participated in such an international conference before.
Can she really speak for a full hour at the podium?
Dean Gao's heart was in turmoil, and his eyes were full of hesitation.
If she makes a mistake this time, it will have a huge impact on Lu Xuanxin's academic career. If she does not perform well, the International Mathematical Union may even question the authenticity of her paper.
But this meeting is really hard to refuse...
Thinking of this, President Gao felt a headache and a bitter smile flashed in his eyes.
"Forget it, let's ask classmate Lu Xuanxin what he thinks first!"
Dean Gao sighed, picked up the phone next to him and dialed Lu Xuanxin's number.
At the same time, Lu Xuanxin had just returned to the village where she grew up. She was surrounded by familiar villagers, and their eyes were filled with a hint of respect. The villagers who were close to Lu Xuanxin loved to ask her about things, such as how to get full marks in the college entrance examination, how to be on the news like her, and whether Lu Xuanxin had done anything great. After all, most of these villagers had lived in the countryside all their lives and rarely heard of anyone being on the news, so they were all very curious.
Lu Xuanxin smiled and patiently answered the villagers' questions. Suddenly, she felt her cell phone vibrating in her trouser pocket, so she took it out. The villagers gathered around curiously because it was 2005, when smartphones were not yet popular, and were rare in the countryside.
Fan Jialing was chatting with her neighbor. When she saw Lu Xuanxin take out his cell phone, she asked curiously, "Whose phone is this?"
Lu Xuanxin replied with a smile, "It's the dean of the School of Mathematics at Yenching University who called." After that, she answered the phone gracefully.
After hearing this, the originally noisy villagers quieted down, especially those who were close to Lu Xuanxin, who didn't even dare to breathe.
Their eyes were all focused on Lu Xuanxin, full of admiration and envy.
Lu Xuanxin wore simple clothes, but her temperament was outstanding, and she looked both friendly and generous. Her words and actions revealed confidence and composure, which made people admire her ability and charm.
The villagers looked at Lu Xuanxin and felt that she was no longer the little girl who used to play in the village. Now she was not only successful in her studies, but also had connections with such a big shot. It really made people sigh at the magic of fate and Lu Xuanxin's hard work.
Lu Xuanxin stood aside, feeling somewhat puzzled. How could she suddenly receive a call from the dean not long after the winter break? Was there something important? Although she was puzzled, her expression remained very calm.
"Hello, Dean, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lu Xuanxin asked softly on the other end of the phone.
Hearing Lu Xuanxin's voice, President Gao paused for a moment, then said, "Xuanxin, I just received a letter from the International Association of Mathematicians. They invite you to attend the International Conference on Number Theory Research and hope that you can give a one-hour speech at the conference. I want to know what you think?"
"International Conference on Number Theory Research?" Lu Xuanxin was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "What conference is that?"
"This is a conference organized by the International Union of Mathematicians. It is held every year. This year's conference is held at Princeton University."
"Oh!" Lu Xuanxin nodded and asked, "Doesn't that mean we are going abroad?"
This conference was the first conference of the Mathematicians' Union that Lu Xuanxin had come into contact with in her life. She felt both unfamiliar and novel about it, and her eyes were flashing with a desire for knowledge.
When Dean Gao saw Lu Xuanxin's curiosity and excitement, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, it's in America. If you're willing to participate, our school has special funding support. You just need to apply for a passport. But that's not the problem."
At this time, President Gao's expression became serious.
"What's the problem?" Lu Xuanxin asked softly.
"A one-hour speech is the highest standard at the conference. Usually only the most experienced or most outstanding mathematicians can get such an opportunity. Others usually only have ten to thirty minutes to speak." Dean Gao said to Lu Xuanxin seriously.
"Does that mean that the International Union of Mathematicians attaches great importance to my Zhou conjecture?" Lu Xuanxin asked.
"That's right!" President Gao nodded.
Lu Xuanxin nodded slightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, "Since they value it so much, I should go all out."
Dean Gao's worries were slightly alleviated when he saw Lu Xuanxin's confidence, but he still asked worriedly: "But can you ensure that the one-hour academic report will be foolproof? This conference is not a joke, and we can't take it lightly."
Lu Xuanxin smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, Dean, I will be fully prepared and will not let you down."
"Then I feel relieved." Dean Gao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since you are so confident, I will reply to the email and agree."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Lu Xuanxin replied politely.
"It's no trouble. This is your honor and the pride of our school." Dean Gao said with a smile.
On the other end of the phone, Dean Gao smiled happily and said to Lu Xuanxin, "There is one more thing. I wanted to wait until you return to school to tell you, but now that we are communicating on the phone, I will tell you first."
"What is it? Dean, please tell me in detail."
Lu Xuanxin was slightly stunned and asked curiously. Her voice was soft and firm, revealing a unique charm.
"After discussion between our college and school leaders, we have decided to reward you for your contribution to proving Zhou's conjecture by publishing a paper in the Annals of Mathematics. The college leaders unanimously agreed to award you a bonus of one million!"
"one million?"
When Lu Xuanxin heard the number, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the phone. A flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
God!
A mathematical conjecture is worth so much money?
"Yes!"
Dean Gao nodded and said to Lu Xuanxin with a smile: "In addition, we have discussed with the Yanjing government and decided to treat you according to the Yanjing First-Class Talent Introduction Plan. You can enjoy the right to settle in Yanjing, as well as preferential policies for buying houses. If you buy a house in Yanjing, you can enjoy a 30% discount on the house price! In addition, you will be honored as a Yanjing First-Class Talent!"
Hearing this, Lu Xuanxin's heartbeat began to accelerate, but she tried to stay calm. A confident smile appeared on her face, making her look even more charming.
Such conditions are not easily obtained!
The settlement policy in Yanjing is notoriously difficult, and even after ten years, it is still one of the best in China. If you are not a top talent, it is difficult to settle down even if you have worked in BJ for more than ten years.
Lu Xuanxin is well aware of his own value and understands that this honor is hard-earned.
"Thank you, Dean!"
she said gratefully.
"Haha! Don't be in a hurry to thank me, there are other things to do!"
Dean Gao smiled and continued, "According to the policy of our college, your current status is equivalent to that of a doctor. We have already allocated a single room with doctoral standards for you in the college. You can choose to move in, or continue to live in your current dormitory."
"Thank you, Dean!"
Lu Xuanxin expressed her gratitude again. Her voice was full of gratitude and joy.
"You're welcome. This is what you deserve. You have brought honor to our college, school, and even the entire China. We should be grateful to you!"
President Gao said with emotion.
Lu Xuanxin smiled slightly and said nothing more. She knew that her efforts and talents were recognized, which was her greatest pride.
At this time, Dean Gao said, "There is one more thing about the selection of your master's supervisor. According to your wishes, our college intends to select an academician-level supervisor for you who is proficient in mathematics and physics. There are currently three candidates. When you return to school, you can meet and communicate with these academicians. This choice is two-way, you can choose them, and they can also choose you. Student Lu Xuanxin, do you have any opinions?"
"no!"
Lu Xuanxin shook his head, his eyes flashing with determination.
God!
Academician wants to be my mentor? How dare I object? Such people are big names in the Chinese mathematics community, well-known and have founded their own schools. I am very lucky to have such a choice! How can others get such an opportunity so easily?
"Okay, we'll discuss the other things in detail when you return to school."
"Okay, Dean!"
Lu Xuanxin nodded and hung up the phone.
When Lu Xuanxin hung up the phone, she looked up and found that the elders and villagers around her were all focusing their eyes on her. Lu Xuanxin was slightly stunned and a little surprised.
"Everyone... why are you all looking at me?" Lu Xuanxin hesitated for a moment, then asked the elders who were watching.
At this time, an old man named Zhang Weng, who had watched Lu Xuanxin grow up, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xuanxin, are you going abroad? Why are you so successful all of a sudden?"
"Yes, Grandpa Zhang." Lu Xuanxin replied to Zhang Weng with a smile, "This March, the International Mathematics Symposium will be held at Princeton University in the United States, and I have been invited to attend."
