"I basically know all the professors in the University of Science and Technology of China." Whether it is the School of Physics or the School of Mathematics, Zhuang Weiran can guarantee that he knows most of the professors.

Turning his head, he said to Professor Feffman, "Sorry, Professor Feffman, I met a junior, and I want to talk to him for a while. Professor Feuffman, can you go back to the hotel first?"

"Of course." Fei Fuman said with a smile, "Zhuang, then I'll come to you when I'm free."

"See you later, Professor Feuffman."

"By the way, Zhuang, there is a party tonight, I hope you don't forget to attend." Professor Feffman turned around and waved to Zhuang Weiran. The two looked at Professor Fefferman, then at Zhuang Weiran .

I was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"Take Professor Feuerman to the hotel first." Zhuang Weiran waved to the two Kyoto University students, "I still have something to do."

"Sorry, Mr. Zhuang." The two students breathed a sigh of relief. What they were most afraid of was that the two gentlemen needed them to follow.

After Feifman and the two students left, Zhuang Weiran looked at the person in front of him and said, "Which professor are you a graduate student?"

"Professor Ji Yuanzhou."

"Ah?" Zhuang Weiran was stunned for a moment. When he was studying in the junior class at Huatian University, the professor he followed was Ji Yuanzhou.He was originally going to study for a direct Ph.D. with Professor Ji Yuanzhou, if it wasn't for Professor Tao Hanhai who broke out halfway.It is estimated that he has already finished his Ph.D. with Professor Ji Yuanzhou, so this is really his junior.

He also scratched his head in embarrassment, "My name is Ji Anyi."

"Ji Anyi? What is your relationship with Professor Ji?"

"Um, I'm Professor Ji's grandson."

"Why didn't I hear Professor Ji mention it before?" Zhuang Weiran thought for a while, he had been under Professor Ji for a year, and went to Professor Ji's house every day for dinner.I never heard Professor Ji mention Ji Anyi.

No, he remembered that Professor Ji mentioned that there was a grandson who was a policeman in Luyang or something?At that time, Professor Ji was so angry that he wanted to throw the table.

"You are not the only grandson of Professor Ji."

Ji Anyi said with an ugly face, "I was actually forced to learn mathematics by the old man."

"Oh?" Zhuang Weiran looked at Ji Anyi sympathetically, Mr. Ji Lao is also considered a master in the domestic mathematics circle.He has dominated the mathematics world for decades and made many contributions to the mathematics of Huaguo.It's a pity that none of Professor Ji's son and daughter studied mathematics, let alone his grandson.

"The one you're talking about is my cousin, right? He's several years older than me. He was forced to learn mathematics by the old man before, and he didn't dare to see the old man for many years. As a result, he had a big fight with the old man when he went to see the old man a few years ago. "When he said this, Ji Anyi looked at Zhuang Weiran, "Brother Zhuang was there at the time, right?"

"Yes." Although Zhuang Weiran didn't want to admit that he saw such a thing, he was indeed there at the time.

Probably Ji Anyi wanted to open up the topic, or maybe he was very excited to see Zhuang Weiran, "I've been listening to grandpa talking about you before."

"Senior Brother Zhuang, you don't know that everyone in our family hates you."

"And this?" The corners of Zhuang Weiran's mouth twitched slightly, he seemed to be fine.

"The main reason is that every time the old man has a family gathering, he doesn't talk about anyone, but keeps talking about Senior Brother Zhuang, which makes my cousin want to beat Senior Brother Zhuang now."

"Is it my fault?" Zhuang Weiran remained silent, and Ji Anyi continued, "However, Senior Brother Zhuang, you are really good. I heard from the old man that you have already joined the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study?"

"Yes." Zhuang Weiran nodded.

Ji Anyi leaned close to Zhuang Weiran's ear and asked softly, "Can I ask Senior Brother Zhuang a question?"

"Ask." Zhuang Weiran spread his hands, even if he didn't let Ji Anyi ask, wouldn't Ji Anyi not ask?

"Brother Zhuang, are you going to be a professor and doctoral supervisor at Princeton University?"

"Yes." Zhuang Weiran bit the bullet and nodded, "The news from your country is too timely, and I just found out about it, how did you know about it?"

"Senior brother Zhuang, you forgot that there is also senior brother who also works at Princeton University."

"That's right." Zhuang Weiran patted his head. Professor Ji gave birth to countless children. It is not surprising that several students are professors at Princeton University.He even forgot to visit those brothers.

"However, Professor Zhang Shouwu told the old man the news." Ji Anyi said, "Brother ran to Beijing University, and made the old man angry for a long time."

"Every day you see that the family members are not pleasing to the eye, and you will scold people every time. You don't know, and you say that no one in our family can compare with you. No, several cousins ​​are gearing up."

"What else?" Zhuang Weiran was stunned for a moment, "Professor Ji really likes mathematics, but I didn't expect you to be told by Professor Ji at home."

"It's not because you are so outstanding, senior brother. After he taught senior brother, none of us liked it." Ji Anyi scratched his head, "Senior brother should receive the Fields Award."

"I don't know." Zhuang Weiran shook his head, "Are you waiting for Professor Ji here?"

"Yes. The old man is coming soon, isn't this just waiting for him?"

"I haven't seen Professor Ji for a long time." When he was at Peking University, he was busy with the Millennium Prize puzzle every day, and then he had some part-time jobs and so on. He hadn't contacted for a long time.

He didn't know the progress of Professor Ji's current research. He stood at the airport and asked Ji Anyi, "How is Professor Ji's current research progress?"

"It's still not ideal." Ji Anyi shook his head, "There are still a lot of difficulties to be overcome, mainly because we are far behind foreign countries in mathematics, and a big guy like you ran to Princeton again. Where is the old man's age?" , I couldn’t bear it anymore, and I was almost hospitalized.”

Zhuang Weiran was silent and did not speak.

"Actually, I encountered some things at Princeton University." Zhuang Weiran said vaguely, "Professor Ji is doing research for Huaguo right now?"

"As you know in our country, most of the research institutes are owned by the state." Ji Anyi said with a smile, "Unlike foreign countries, many research institutes are owned by enterprises or private individuals."

Zhuang Weiran nodded, "So, I don't know what Professor Ji is doing, right?"

"That's true." Ji Anyi nodded again, "You know, the principle of confidentiality."

"I don't ask." Zhuang Weiran exhaled, "How is Professor Ji's health now?"

"It's not particularly good." Ji Anyi said with some concern, "The old man's health is getting worse every year. Brother, you can persuade him when you see the old man later. He is not a young man anymore. If this goes on like this, I'm really worried about him. There will be ups and downs."

"I will persuade Professor Ji." I just don't know if Professor Ji will listen to his persuasion. Zhuang Weiran really understands Professor Ji very well.With the hard-working temperament of the older generation, there is something that has not been made.Even if you have to stay up for countless nights, you have to do it. When you are young, you are fine, but when you are old, you have all kinds of diseases.Especially many basic diseases, if they get worse, they may be fatal.

Of course he didn't want Professor Ji to go away so early.

The two waited for about an hour, chatting while waiting for Professor Ji.

With sharp eyes, Ji Anyi saw Professor Ji immediately.He waved his hand, "Master!"

Professor Ji glared at Ji Anyi, and another professor next to him smiled and whispered to Professor Ji.

"Hello, Professor Ji." Zhuang Weiran greeted Professor Ji respectfully, and Professor Ji said cheerfully, "Hey, Xiao Zhuang is here too."

"I just met An Yi, too."

"Mathematician of Zhuang University." The professor next to him looked at Zhuang Weiran. He had never seen this professor before, but Zhuang Weiran still stretched out his hand and said to him, "Hello, sir."

"My surname is Yan." Taking Zhuang Weiran's hand, he said, "Now I am a professor at the School of Physics, Hua University of Science and Technology."

"It's not as good as Zhuang University's mathematician. I heard that he will soon become a professor at Princeton University?"

"Where?" Zhuang Weiran became embarrassed, Professor Ji glanced at Professor Yan, "I said Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhuang is more than 20 years younger than you no matter what, what kind of tone is this?"

Professor Yan said with a smile, "Mr. Ji still protects the calf."

"Xiao Zhuang is the best student I have ever taught." Professor Ji said arrogantly, "I guess, Xiao Yan, you may never meet a student like Xiao Zhuang in the future."

"That's not true." Professor Yan sighed, "There are quite a few geniuses in our junior class, but none of them can be as amazing as Professor Xiao Zhuang. It's really amazing!"

"When I first saw Xiao Zhuang, I knew that this student was extraordinary."

Zhuang Weiran apologized beside him, and Professor Yan looked like he was about to cry.Mr. Ji is good at everything, has a high academic status, and does well academically, but he likes to brag about his students.In recent years, he especially likes to brag about Zhuang Weiran, a student. Many professors heard Ji Lao brag about his students when Zhuang Weiran was still in the junior class.

Not to mention, Ji Lao looks at people, that is really a thumbs up.At that time, there were so many students in the junior class, Mr. Ji fell in love with Zhuang Weiran at a glance.And Zhuang Weiran lived up to expectations and became famous at a young age.This is just an adult, and he is going to be a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University.At that time, few people in China University of Science and Technology believed that Zhuang Weiran would become one of the world's top mathematicians in the future.

For Ji Lao's self-promotion, most of them are just a few words of ridicule.

But Zhuang Weiran was too ambitious. He studied all the courses in the university by himself in one year, and when Ji Lao was about to let him continue to study with him, he killed Tao Hanhai halfway.

Over the past few years, Mr. Ji has always wanted to go to Beijing University and fight Tao Hanhai to the death!

Professor Yan said, "If I had known earlier, I would have to grab this student with Mr. Ji."

"Forget it." Professor Ji waved his hand, "Tao Hanhai almost became a professor in the Department of Mathematics at NYU Berkeley if he stayed in the Lighthouse Country. Compared with Tao Hanhai, you still have a little less skill."

"Mr. Ji, you are really raising the ambitions of others and destroying your prestige."

"When you are engaged in mathematics, you must seek truth from facts." Professor Ji smiled and said, "Xiao Zhuang, you are quite familiar with partial differential equations."
