"It seems that the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award originally intended for her is no longer appropriate..." The old man said to the middle-aged man thoughtfully, "I have to go meet the boss."
"Okay!" the middle-aged man responded.
The old man's name is Zhang Jinhong.
Zhang Jinhong quickly rushed to the boss's compound and met the boss.
"Boss, there may be some changes to the list of National Science and Technology Progress Awards in May." Zhang Jinhong said to the boss after a slight hesitation.
"Oh?" The big boss was slightly stunned and asked curiously.
"Boss, please take a look at this news." Zhang Jinhong hurriedly handed him the newspaper.
The big boss took the newspaper and saw the news that Lu Xuanxin solved the Goldbach conjecture, and his face immediately showed joy.
"Good! That's great!" said the big boss happily.
"Boss, should Lu Xuanxin be awarded the first prize of the National Natural Science Award this time?" Zhang Jinhong asked.
The big boss watched the news, tapping his fingers on the table, and thought for a moment.
"No, change it to the special prize!" the big boss said decisively.
When Zhang Jinhong heard this, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
"But the original person..." Zhang Jinhong hesitated.
"Can his achievements be compared with Lu Xuanxin's?" the big boss asked seriously.
Zhang Jinhong's face suddenly changed. Although that person had rich experience and considerable achievements, he was already over 70 years old, and this award was mainly based on seniority. If we really talk about contributions in the field of natural sciences, he can't compare with Lu Xuanxin.
"Lingna, our country's scientific community needs fresh blood and young forces. We can't always judge by seniority. Don't be stingy with an award! If our country loses an outstanding young mathematician like Lu Xuanxin, it will be a real loss to the country!" The big boss said solemnly to Zhang Jinhong.
"Okay, boss, I understand!" said Zhang Jinhong.
"Well, go ahead and get busy!" said the big guy.
After saying that, Zhang Jinhong turned around and left the boss's compound.
Ms. Lu Xuanxin successfully solved Goldbach's famous problem, but she did not stop exploring.
Over the next few days, her phone was almost constantly ringing with incoming calls.
Among them, one particularly important call came from President Gao.
"Student Lu Xuanxin, Principal Cai would like to know what you think about that proposal?" Dean Gao asked on the phone.
Lu Xuanxin smiled and replied, "Dean Gao, Shuimu University also called me a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, President Gao's heart tightened.
"What conditions did they offer?" Dean Gao asked directly.
Lu Xuanxin said without hiding anything: "The conditions are quite generous. They provide me with two properties in Yanjing, an annual salary of one million, and five million in research funding every year. If it is not enough, I can apply for more. Moreover, they also promised to give me ten Yanjing hukou quotas, and all laboratories are open to me."
After listening to this, President Gao nodded to indicate that he understood.
After hanging up the phone, President Gao immediately rushed to President Cai's office and reported the conditions offered by Shuimu University in detail.
After listening to this, Principal Cai frowned, obviously feeling that this condition was very tempting.
"This condition is indeed very high!" Principal Cai exclaimed.
"Our school can also provide an annual salary of one million and research funding of five million, but two properties and ten places for Yenching household registration..." Principal Cai was a little troubled.
"I'll find a way." Principal Cai said after thinking for a moment, "Tell Xuanxin that these conditions are acceptable to us at Yanda. Moreover, I can add one more condition, that is, after she comes to Yanda, she can choose whether to take students, and she can also decide the class hours by herself."
Dean Gao was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He looked at Principal Cai and said, "This condition... seems a bit too lenient, right?"
Principal Cai smiled and said, "No, you don't know. I visited Mr. Zhang Jinhong from the Ministry of Science and Technology yesterday, and he told me that Xuanxin has won the special prize of the National Natural Science Progress Award this time, and the list has been listed."
"Special prize!" President Gao exclaimed with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Therefore, the conditions we offer are very reasonable," Principal Cai said affirmatively.
Finally, President Cai smiled and said to President Gao, "Just tell Xuanxin according to these conditions. If she has other requirements, we will try our best to meet them as long as we can. If we can't meet them, please tell me. I believe that with the conditions of our Yanda University, Xuanxin should choose our school."
"After all, Yanda is her alma mater, so she should have some inclination in her heart," President Cai added.
"That's right!" President Gao nodded with a smile.
After the meeting in the principal's office, Dean Gao quickly turned around and left. He returned to his office and called Lu Xuanxin in a hurry before he could even sit down.
At this moment, it is a sunny day in China, but it is already late at night in America across the ocean.
Lu Xuanxin, the young woman, still kept her habit and was about to go to bed after reading a book. However, before she even reached the bed, Dean Gao called.
"Hello?" Lu Xuanxin asked softly.
On the other end of the phone, President Gao's eyes were gleaming with excitement.
"Student Lu Xuanxin, after discussion, the president has decided to give you the same conditions as Shuimu University, and has added an extra condition. If you choose to join Yanda, you can arrange your own courses freely, without the constraints of subject assessments, and your funding applications will be given priority!" Dean Gao said excitedly.
Hearing this, Lu Xuanxin was slightly stunned, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
Freely arrange courses? Doesn't that mean she can choose whether to attend classes and whether to recruit graduate students as she pleases? And there is no pressure of any assessment? These conditions are too loose!
"This condition is acceptable." Lu Xuanxin said after thinking for a moment.
Although she felt that if she fought harder, she might be able to get better treatment from Shuimu or Yanda, but the increase of one or two million yuan in annual salary was not very meaningful to her. Lu Xuanxin felt that such conditions were good enough and would not disgrace her talent.
"Great! That's settled!" Lu Xuanxin said to President Gao with a smile.
Dean Gao was a little stunned when he heard Lu Xuanxin agreed so readily. He originally thought that Lu Xuanxin would bargain for a while, but he didn't expect her to agree so directly.
"Do you really agree? Don't you want to reconsider it?" Dean Gao asked hesitantly.
"Haha!" Lu Xuanxin replied with a smile, "I am very satisfied with this condition. Although waiting for a better opportunity may get more money, greed will make people hate it. I don't want to be that kind of person!"
There was a determined light in Lu Xuanxin's eyes.
"Okay! That's settled!" President Gao also nodded with a smile.
Suddenly, he remembered something and told Lu Xuanxin: "By the way, classmate Lu Xuanxin, I just got the news from the principal that you won the special prize in the National Natural Science Progress Award in May!"
Hearing this, Lu Xuanxin was stunned.
"Me? Special prize?" she asked in disbelief.
"That's right!" Dean Gao also smiled. "This award is usually given to scientists with significant achievements, similar to the Lifetime Achievement Award. Generally, it is given to scientists who have made significant contributions in the past and can only be awarded when they reach a certain age. I didn't expect it to be awarded to you this year!"
"How dare I accept this title? The achievements of my predecessors are higher than mine." Lu Xuanxin said modestly.
"You are also very good!" Dean Gao said with a smile, "You have solved the Goldbach conjecture, and you are still so humble. If it were someone else, they would have been so proud of themselves!"
Dean Gao was very happy and successfully recruited Lu Xuanxin into Yanda University without much effort. This was a great thing for Yanda University and for him personally.
Lu Xuanxin smiled and said to Dean Gao: "Dean, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will take a rest."
"Oh! Okay, I'll hang up first." After President Gao said this, the two hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, President Gao's eyes were still shining with excitement.
Seven or eight days after the Goldbach conjecture was announced, Lu Xuanxin decided to submit her doctoral application to Princeton College. Soon after, the college readily agreed to her application, and her defense will be jointly reviewed by the masters of the School of Mathematics.
Her graduation thesis was the sensational Goldbach conjecture. The result was self-evident. Lu Xuanxin passed the defense easily with outstanding performance. So, on a sunny day in mid-April, she was honored to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University. The moment she received the degree, Lu Xuanxin changed into a solemn doctoral gown and stood in front of the Flint Library, leaving behind an important moment in her life. She returned to the dormitory with her degree certificate and graduation certificate in her hands, full of joy.
Then, she couldn't wait to upload a photo of herself with her degree certificate to Weibo, and wrote: "Am I not the fastest PhD graduate in history? Haha! Everyone, I have graduated! Are you surprised? Happy? Or a little excited?" After writing this, Lu Xuanxin smiled and clicked the send button.
Not long after, her Weibo post was approved and published successfully. Lu Xuanxin looked at the screen and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. She thought of herself in her previous life, when she was just a sophomore in an ordinary third-tier university, addicted to games every day and not making progress. However, now, with the help of the system and the accumulation of past life experience, she has stood at the pinnacle of the world's mathematics field!
Looking further down, there are already hundreds of comments on Weibo...
"Wow! Goddess Xuanxin is showing off again!"
"Take a seat in the front row!"
"Grab a couch!"
"How could Goddess Xuanxin be so amazing that she actually got a Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton! It's amazing!"
"Friends upstairs, you may not understand. A PhD in mathematics from Princeton is indeed amazing to ordinary people like us, but for Goddess Xuanxin, it is just an honor for Princeton!"
"That's right! We had some doubts about Goddess Xuanxin's ability before, but now it seems that she is definitely an important candidate for the 14th Fields Medal! Although I dare not assert it, I think she is very likely to win the prize!"
"That's right! This is the Goldbach conjecture! How could the Fields Medal not consider the mathematician who solved this conjecture? Otherwise, everyone will question the value of this award!"
"Yes! But then again, the speed at which Goddess Xuanxin graduated is truly amazing! She received her doctorate degree at the age of twenty. Even the geniuses in the junior classes are no better than her!"
"That's right! Goddess Xuanxin is so amazing!"
······
Looking at these comments, Lu Xuanxin couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Not long after, she received a call from the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, informing her to return to Yanjing before May 12 to prepare to receive the award.
Lu Xuanxin was busy packing her luggage in the house, when suddenly the doorbell rang, breaking the silence. She was slightly startled, put down the clothes in her hands, thought for a moment, and slowly walked to the door. The moment she opened the door, she saw a lady and a strange man standing outside. She knew the lady, Ms. Sheldman, but the man's face was completely new to her.
