I’m Really a Superstar

Morning, eight o'clock.

Zhang Ye, who was in love with Lao Wu at home, suddenly received an unexpected phone call. He was so unexpected that he was not prepared at all. The news came out of the blue!

"Hello, is this Teacher Zhang?" There was a young male voice over there.

Zhang Ye asked: "It's me, who are you?"

The young man quickly said: "Hello, I am a staff member of Peking University."

Zhang Ye was confused, "Beijing University? Oh, hello."

The young man's voice was urgent, "I would like to ask, are you in Beijing now?"

Zhang Ye said: "I'm here."

"That's great! Can you please come to Peking University now?" The young man said immediately: "We just received a notice a few minutes ago. It was a fax from the OPM Foundation in the United States, informing you that you will be the student of this year's university. The responsible contact person for the winner of the Opp International Mathematics Prize is already on his way to Peking University, and we immediately notified the school and the School of Mathematical Sciences, and everyone is on the way!"

Zhang Ye was a little stunned, "OPP Mathematics Award?"

"Congratulations, Teacher Zhang!" The young man was very happy, and it could be heard from his tone that it was not a compliment, but really excited, "You have made our Peking University proud this time. This is the top name in the international mathematics community. Since the first OUP Mathematics Prize was held, you are the first person to obtain the nationality of the Republic of China! In the past 40 years, no Chinese has ever won the prize!"

"Yeah?"

"yes!"

"Thank you, okay, I'll be there in a moment."

"Wait a minute, you'd better go out now. Dean Pan and the others heard the news, canceled their vacation, and are all back!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

"Okay, we're waiting for you!"

As soon as I hung up the phone, I received a call from Dean Pan Yangpan of the School of Mathematics at Peking University.

"Professor Zhang, have you heard?" Pan Yang was very excited.

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "I just heard about it, but I didn't react."

Pan Yang laughed loudly, "Me too, I thought that this kind of international award would have to wait until the Dell conjecture you cracked was confirmed before you can have a chance. I didn't expect the award to come so early, but that's right, even if the Dell conjecture hasn't been announced yet, After the proof is completed, the basic idea has come out. The several constructive counter-proofs you proposed in it all have great mathematical value and significance. This is enough for you to win an exceptional award. I will give you the award before you have finished the proof. It’s not too much to say that Dell’s conjecture is one of the most difficult mathematical conjectures in the world!”

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Zhang Ye was very polite, "Thanks to Dean Pan for your guidance."

Dean Pan said happily: "Don't say that. I don't dare to take this merit at all. Congratulations."

"Same joy," Zhang Ye said.

Dean Pan said: "I'm almost at Peking University. You should come over quickly. We'll talk about other things later. By the way, wear formal attire. We have already notified reporters. Many people will come today!"

"Okay." Zhang Ye hung up the phone.

inside the house.

Wu Zeqing listened briefly and said, "Did you win the award?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "Tell me about the OUP Mathematics Award."

Old Wu nodded, turned around, opened his closet and rummaged through it, finding a suit for him, "Go quickly.

Wear a suit to look more formal, where is the tie? "without

"The small drawer below." Zhang Ye pointed.

After getting dressed and looking in the mirror, Old Wu tied Zhang Ye's tie carefully. After tying it once, it was actually quite good. However, Old Wu felt dissatisfied, so he untied it and tied it twice more before he was satisfied.

"Okay." Old Wu said humbly.

Zhang Ye was a little embarrassed, "I've been upset since I asked you to come here. Otherwise, you have a rest today anyway. Wait for me at home. I'll be back at noon after I finish my work."

Wu Zeqing said: "Okay."

"Then I'm leaving."

"What to eat for lunch?"

"I love everything you cook."

On the way to Peking University, while Zhang Ye was waiting at a red light, he took his mobile phone and searched the Internet for the so-called Opp Mathematics Award to learn more about this award. Maybe people on this earth are familiar with it, but Zhang Ye Ye is different. Strictly speaking, he himself is not a person of this world.

According to online information, this award is not the highest award in the field of mathematics. However, although it is not the highest, it is still a well-known international award in the field of mathematics. It has a relatively high gold content and very strict review standards. This is also the practice of all international awards. There is no It is impossible to award you a superhuman achievement, and this superhuman achievement is still a foreigner, or a Westerner. It is even more stringent for a republican to win such an international mathematics award. He must be a superman. Only first-class supermen have a chance to win. Judging from the quantification of past international awards, if a Westerner and a Republic person have roughly the same achievements, then the Westerner's probability of winning the award must be more than ten times that of a Republic person. Times, there are accidental factors, but there is no trace of stereotypes in it? Zhang Ye didn't believe it anyway.

Moreover, in the decades since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, mathematicians of the Republic have won some achievements and awards in the international field. However, awards of international importance such as the Opp Prize in Mathematics are still rare, and almost no one has received them. Mathematicians of the Republic have won The most they receive are some lightweight mathematics awards or domestic mathematics awards. Many well-known domestic mathematics masters have no chance of receiving international heavyweight awards!

Therefore, the OUP Mathematics Award that Zhang Ye is about to win is even more valuable. This is also the first time in the history of a person with nationality of the Republic of China to win this award. It has great historical significance. If it is higher, it can even be said that this is the Mathematics of the Republic of China. A big step forward for the world on the international stage!

…

Peking University.

When the car drove to the school gate, I saw a crowd of people!

"It's Zhang Ye's car!"

"Professor Zhang is here!"

"professor Zhang!"

As soon as more than 20 media reporters who came after hearing the news saw Zhang Ye's car, they swarmed over with cheers and surrounded him at the gate. Above the school gate, many Peking University students and school staff were also playing with banners. A big red banner was temporarily produced and said something like "Warm congratulations to Zhang Ye, associate professor of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University, for winning the International Olympiad Mathematics Award." It was already hung on the left side. On the right side of the banner, many people were standing on ladders to hang it on the school gate. Because time was tight, the scene was relatively simple, but it was very lively!

The dormitory Peking University students came out to watch the fun.

More and more people from the media came one after another. Many reporters drove here and ran down, all panting. Obviously, the news came too suddenly, and no one in China was prepared!

When Zhang Ye saw this, he naturally couldn't drive in directly and found a roadside stop.

"Professor Zhang, congratulations!" shouted a female reporter from the Beijing News Channel.

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "Thank you, I just learned the news."

A newspaper reporter held up a recording pen and said loudly: "Professor Zhang, this time you have become the first scholar to win the OUP Mathematics Award in the history of the Republic. What are your thoughts?" Because Zhang Ye has many identities, Therefore, when faced with different occasions, reporters call me different names. Sometimes they call me Teacher Zhang, and sometimes they call me Professor Zhang.

Zhang Ye said: "The awards have just been decided, but they haven't been awarded yet."

A reporter smiled and said: "We are just about to go to the United States to receive the award. Please tell us your feelings first."

Zhang Ye laughed and said, "We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later." He squeezed in and walked in.

If it were any other mathematician, a very low-key academic worker would obviously not be used to such a scene, and might not even be able to handle so many media people. However, Zhang Ye is obviously different. This guy is not only an academic but also an entertainer. A well-known figure in the industry, he has been dealing with reporters all year round, whether they are entertainment reporters, news reporters, or reporters from academic newspapers, he can handle them all.

Not long after, a group of teachers and professors from the Mathematics Department of Peking University came forward.

Dean Pan Yang took the lead, "Haha, Professor Zhang, congratulations!"

The teachers and professors from the School of Mathematical Sciences behind also expressed their congratulations.

"congratulations!"

"Professor Zhang, you have given Peking University no face!"

“This award is so unexpected and surprising!”

"We have all come out to greet you, Professor Zhang!"

Everyone was beaming with joy. Zhang Ye's honor in the international mathematics community was an honor for the mathematics community of the Republic of China. It was also an honor for the Department of Mathematics of Peking University. Everyone was very excited. The aura that Zhang Ye brought to the Department of Mathematics of Peking University was an honor for them. It's obviously not an ordinary one. The Opp Prize in Mathematics, which even so many academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have not won, has now been won by Zhang Ye from Peking University. What kind of honor is this?

However, Zhang Ye was flattered and hurriedly took a few steps, "No, I am so virtuous and capable. I asked all the senior teachers to come out to greet me. You are all trying to offend me."

An old professor from the Department of Mathematics stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, kid. If you can win more international mathematics awards for Peking University, I can welcome you every day!"

Pan Yang said with a smile: "Professor Sun, you are not winning an award for us at Peking University. That is a personal award."

The old professor glared, "Isn't Xiao Zhang from Peking University? If Xiao Zhang wins the award, then we will win the award! We are all one family, what's the difference?"

Everyone in the Mathematics Department laughed, thinking to themselves: How can anyone be so generous as you? But they also knew that Professor Sun had no other intentions. He was really happy, both for Peking University and for the mathematical community of the Republic. After so many years, the Republic finally produced a person as amazing and talented as Zhang Ye. , a height that few of their older generation have reached, has now been reached by a young mathematician in his twenties. The argument for Dell's conjecture is not over yet. It cannot be said that Dell's conjecture has been solved yet, but I think it will come This is only a matter of time. When Dell's conjecture is really proved and Zhang Ye's demonstration steps are confirmed, there is no doubt that Zhang Ye will reach higher heights. Maybe he will become the quadrennial figure in the international mathematics community. The highest award is no longer a dream, you can also compete for it!

Amid the joy, school leaders from Peking University arrived one after another. One school leader originally had a cold and took a few days off at home, but when he heard the news, he rushed over from home.

Several school leaders bumped heads at the door.

"Is the news true?"

"It's absolutely true! I've confirmed it with the OP Foundation!"

"Great. From now on, there is no need to question Peking University's status in the domestic mathematics community, and our international rankings will definitely jump up!"

"What happened to Zhang Ye's suspension of classes?"

"Classes resume! Do it now!"

"Yes, hurry up and tell the school office that it needs to be dealt with immediately. Don't write down the resumption time today, just last month, and then put it directly into the file. Otherwise, if the media picks up on this matter, our faces will not look good. As for the resumption of classes, I just followed Zhang Ye's wishes, but it seems that I can't set the class time for him. Let's do whatever you want. Come to Peking University to teach and talk about things when you have time. If you don't have time, don't force it. No need to press You have no control over class schedules!”

"Okay, I'll let someone do it!"

In a few words, Zhang Ye's reinstatement was settled. Now, no one has the nerve to suspend Zhang Ye's classes. In fact, when Zhang Ye was suspended from classes last time, it was actually to protect him. The matter of scolding a foreign guest for the first time was handled in a low-key manner. Otherwise, how about expelling him directly? There is no need to suspend the class to deal with it. As for those teachers and leaders at Peking University who have conflicts with Zhang Ye, they dare not say anything about the school’s decision to let Zhang Ye resume classes. At this time, Peking University has more teachers and they are not short of teachers. But people like Zhang Ye There is only one teacher who can win the Opp International Mathematics Award. Any fool knows which one is more important!

Ten minutes later, someone from the Mathematical Association arrived!

Ten minutes later, even the Chinese Academy of Sciences came to congratulate me! (To be continued) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Chuangshi to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
