I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"Yes, I need some new passion, like mathematical physics or algebraic geometry."

The Riemann conjecture was much more difficult than expected. Shen Qi felt that he needed to return to the right path temporarily. After all, mathematical physics and algebraic geometry were the two directions he chose first. Number theory was just a hobby and not a main job.

However, Shen Qi wrote two papers related to number theory, which were submitted to two of the four major mathematics journals, but he made no achievements in his main business. This made Shen Qi feel ashamed of his professionalism and original intention.

Jonas smiled helplessly: "Volvo has been bought by you Chinese, and the next one may be IKEA, if the Chinese are as crazy as you."

"Acquisition of this application-oriented field is not within the scope of my research." Shen Qi shrugged and said.

"By day your body and mind belong to the math, and at night, it belongs to you. So please forget about the math tonight, go dance and relax," Jonas said.

"Dance?"

"Your dance partner is waiting for you." Jonas pointed in the direction of the pool table.

There are several young girls with white skin, black skin, yellow skin, and red skin gathered together, reflecting the prosperity and harmony of the great unity of the people of the world.

"Shen Qi, you need girls, yes, girls with energy. Go dance and invite one of them. I don't think you've ever danced, that's not okay. In Princeton, dance Skills and academics are equally important." Jonas raised his glass and smiled gracefully at the group of girls.

The girls smiled back and waited for the invitation from the handsome guys.

Among them, the white-skinned girl and the red-skinned girl locked on Jonas, and their provocative eyes said everything.

The dark-skinned and yellow-skinned girls were more curious about Shen Qi, and they rubbed their fingers lightly on the wine glass, as if hinting at something.

The conditions for membership of the Tiger Hotel Dining Club are Pudong University students who have stayed in Pudong University for more than two years.

A student who has studied and lived at Pudong University for more than two years basically meets the legal drinking age stipulated by American law.

Tiger Hotel is a social place, how can you make friends without drinking?

The female students at the pool table are obviously veterans, not newbies.

"But I don't know how to dance." Shen Qi said in a dispirited manner.

"Then you should learn to dance more, right now, do you need me to teach you?" Jonas stretched out his right palm in a gentlemanly manner, as if asking Shen Qi to dance.

"No, thank you." Shen Qi got up and left the bar, walking towards the pool table.

At the pool table, the black girl said to the yellow girl, "Is this handsome guy with an oriental face yours or mine?"

"Of course it's mine." The girl of the yellow race said it as a matter of course.

Black girl: "Well, have a great night."

The yellow-race girl with hair dyed sorrel drank the wine in her glass in one gulp: "So-hot!"

It was too hot, the girl of the yellow race took off her small coat, and she wore a black camisole next to her. She swiped her fingers back and forth on the tweed, waiting for the man's invitation.

Shen Qi passed the pool table without stopping, and continued to walk towards the corner.

Shen Qi didn't invite any girls, he came to a table for two in the corner and sat down.

"This..." The girl of the yellow race felt disappointed and angry, why is this guy like this, you just show me this when I take off my clothes?

The light in this corner was very dim, and the owner of the dining table curled up in the corner drinking alone.

"Mary, are you celebrating something, or drinking away your worries?" Shen Qi asked, Mary was drinking at this dining table, and Shen Qi found Mary hiding in the darkness.

Mary looked up, her eyes dimmed with drunkenness: "What is there to celebrate?"

"That's to drink away your worries." Shen Qi saw that there was only one third of a bottle of Jack Daniel's left, and the second detail was that the wedding ring on Mary's finger was missing.

"Dancing or drinking...you choose one...or both." Mary, flushed, unbuttoned the second button of her slim white blouse. She was wearing a bra today with green trim.

"You drank too much." Shen Qi said, neither dancing nor drinking.

"No...boring man..." Mary lay down on the table, and then she didn't speak again, and fainted from drinking.

Jonas asked the waiter to carry Mary to the bar lounge, Shen Qi returned to the apartment, charged the phone and turned it on.

"It's hard for you to hide it from me!"

This is a WeChat message from Ouye.

Shen Qi wrote back: "Are you in class or self-study?"

Soon, Ouye made a phone call from overseas: "Is it past two o'clock in the morning in the United States?"

"Yes, how is your health recently?" Shen Qi asked.

Oh **** ok. "

Shen Qi: "Are you ready to take the TOEFL?"

"At the end of this month. Also, have you submitted your paper to JAMS?" Ouye asked.

JAMS stands for "Journal of the American Mathematical Society". Shen Qi said, "Yes, it's the one we signed together."

Ouye: "You don't even tell me, I just heard from Professor Sun."

"Hasn't this passed the trial yet? I want to surprise you... yawn..." Shen Qi yawned, feeling too sleepy.

Ouye: "Go to bed early, good night, don't work too hard!"

The next morning, Shen Qi received feedback from the Journal of the American Mathematical Society that the paper "Proof of the Walsh Conjecture for the Diophantine Equation" needed minor revision.

"Great!" Shen Qi rubbed his hands excitedly, which meant that he was about to have a paper in one of the four major journals.

Shen Qi immediately made minor revisions according to the experts' opinions. The amount of revisions was not large, and it was completed in one morning, and then uploaded the final version of the paper to the "Journal of the American Mathematical Society" submission system.

In the afternoon, Shen Qi went to the Luther Hall to attend a class on algebraic geometry.

There are more than a dozen students in the classroom, waiting for the teacher to arrive.

At two o'clock, a man wearing glasses entered the classroom with a thick book "String Theory" in his hand.

This professor has a natural wise temperament, he looks a bit like the American actor Bob Gunton, that is, the actor who played the warden in "The Shawshank Redemption".

"Mr. Weiteng, you have come to the wrong space, this place is three-dimensional!" The students shouted in surprise and joy.

Professor Edward Witten stepped onto the podium: "Three-dimensional is three-dimensional, and the class will start now. By the way, Professor Smith is temporarily busy, and I will be in charge of this class."

This was the first time Shen Qi met Edward Witten in reality. He had wanted to choose him as a mentor, but Witten did not accept him as a student.

As the only legend who won the Fields Medal as a physicist, Witten has his own unique style. He brings a copy of "String Theory" to teach mathematics to students: "Actually, I don't Knowing mathematics, if you make a mistake during the lecture, you can interrupt my lecture at any time."
