Chen Zhou, who always had a puzzled expression on his face, followed behind Dean Sun and completed the reporting procedures for the joint training.

Although Chen Zhou repeatedly asked, what kind of surprises will there be after the year.

But Dean Sun just didn't say it, and only told Chen Zhou to know when the time came.

This made Chen Zhou wonder very much, what kind of surprise is worth keeping it secret?

Of course, Chen Zhou is also quite helpless about this.

He can't stare at Dean Sun and ask, right?

I can only wait for Dean Sun's "it's time".

After separating from Dean Sun, Chen Zhou went to find Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan.

Coincidentally, the two professors are together at the moment.

It's just that what makes Chen Zhou strange is that the two of them had a good chat, but when they saw him, they suddenly stopped talking.

To be precise, it should be that these two people suddenly changed the subject.

From the original heated discussion, it has become a question and answer with you and me.

Looking at the appearance of the two, Chen Zhou suddenly thought of the surprise in Dean Sun's mouth.

It's just that it is obvious that Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan did not tell him about their plans.

Seeing this, Chen Zhou didn't plan to ask in detail.

Anyway, I asked, but I didn't say.

I said it, but I can't tell.

It's better to wait and see for himself when the time comes.

Therefore, after chatting with Wu Xiping for a long time, Chen Zhou left.

What Chen Zhou didn't expect was that after he left, Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them weren't afraid of Chen Zhou's questioning, but they were just worried that Chen Zhou was outside the house just now and heard their conversation.

Dean Sun told them not to leak the news, and they must surprise Chen Zhou when the time comes.

If the conversation between the two of them was overheard by Chen Zhou.

Then all the surprises prepared are in vain.

However, Wu Xiping felt that looking at Chen Zhou's appearance, he should not have heard it......

Leaving the administrative building, Chen Zhou planned to go to Yang Yiyi to meet.

In Yanda, Chen Zhou has already done all the things.

Either this afternoon or tomorrow, he and Yang Yiyi can go back to western Anhui.

Before he reached the gate of Yan University, Chen Zhou's mobile phone rang.

Looking at this caller ID, Chen Zhou subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone.

However, thinking of the news that the other party brought to me earlier.

In addition, I seem to have said that if I win the award, I will be interviewed by her again......

In this case, I am really embarrassed to refuse this Yao reporter's call......

The phone was connected, and Chen Zhou politely asked, "Reporter Yao, hello, is there anything wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Yao Tongtong, who was still nervous, suddenly relieved when he heard Chen Zhou's voice.

In fact, she doesn't know how many times she has been hung up by Chen Zhou before.

Like today, the number of times you can make a phone call so smoothly can be counted on one hand.

"Mr. Chen Zhou, I heard that you have returned to China and are now in Yanjing?"

Hearing Yao Tongtong's question, Chen Zhou thought about it and replied, "Yes, I'm hanging out in Yanda now......

Yao Tongtong said, "Then is it convenient for you now? I'll accompany you...... Hang out for a while?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhou shook his head slightly.

Fortunately, Yang Yiyi was not around, so if she wanted to interview herself, she would just say it directly, and say something that would make people misunderstand......

It just so happened that Chen Zhou also planned to listen to Dean Sun's surprise from Yao Tongtong.

"Then I'll wait for you at Yan University for a while?" Chen Zhou replied.

Before the words fell, Yao Tongtong said: "Okay, you wait for me a little, I'll be there soon!"

After speaking, Chen Zhou heard the sound of Yao Tongtong on the other side nervously packing up his things.

After the phone hung up, it didn't take long.

Chen Zhou didn't even walk to the school gate.

Yao Tongtong appeared.

Looking at the anxious Yao reporter, Chen Zhou shook his head again.

It seems that he really left a bad impression on the other party.

The other party is obviously afraid that he will run away......

Walking in front of Chen Zhou, Yao Tongtong stopped and gasped for breath.

As soon as her breath cleared a little, she was about to speak.

was interrupted by Chen Zhou: "Don't worry, I won't run ...... again"

Yao Tongtong was amused by Chen Zhou's words and immediately laughed, still muttering in her heart: "You also know that it is not easy to find you? It's rare to talk so well today, do you think I'm afraid that you will run away?"

But she said, "No, it's not that I'm worried that you'll run, I'm worried about delaying your time." After all, the time of our mathematicians at Huaguo University is still very precious. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhou glanced at this woman who couldn't help but speak.

But Chen Zhou didn't say anything to debunk it, he also wanted to get the news he wanted from Yao Tongtong.

After all, Dean Sun didn't say it, Wu Xiping didn't say it, and Zhang Zhongyuan didn't say it......

Chen Zhou had to think of another way.

In Chen Zhou's thoughts, it's not that you say it's a surprise, I have to stay here and wait for your surprise.

The rubber ball experiment on the SLAC side is what Chen Zhou values more.

seemed to know that he was a little embarrassed to boast, so Yao Tongtong changed the topic and said, "You just landed yesterday?"

Chen Zhou nodded lightly: "Yanjing arrived last night." ”

Yao Tongtong asked again: "How is the rest?

Chen Zhou glanced at Yao Tongtong and replied softly: "It's okay, the jet lag doesn't have much impact on me." ”

When Yao Tongtong heard this, he smiled softly, and then said: "I didn't have the opportunity to interview you when I won the Cole Number Theory Award before, can you give me an interview now?"

Chen Zhou smiled and nodded: "No problem, just take it as a thank you for the news you revealed to me in advance." ”

After Chen Zhou finished speaking, he paid attention to Yao Tongtong's expression.

He tried to see from Yao Tongtong's face whether there was any surprise in Dean Sun's mouth.

As expected by Chen Zhou, Yao Tongtong's expression obviously changed a little when he heard Chen Zhou's words.

It was this change in expression that made Chen Zhou sure.

Yao Tongtong really has gossip here.

Without waiting for Yao Tongtong to speak, Chen Zhou said first: "Reporter Yao, let's talk while walking, right?"

Yao Tongtong was stunned for a moment, but quickly said: "Okay, then let's talk while walking......

For fear that Chen Zhou would regret it, Yao Tongtong immediately prepared himself.

Voice recorders, notebooks, pens......

The belt, one is not less.

Obviously, Yao Tongtong has also made full preparations for today's interview.

After Yao Tongtong prepared his things, he looked at Chen Zhou.

The look in his eyes seemed to say, "Let's go, hurry, hurry, I can't wait......"

Glancing at Yao Tongtong, Chen Zhou smiled slightly and took the initiative to walk in front.

Chen Zhou, who originally planned to leave directly, went to Yanyuan with Yao Tongtong.

As for the questions that Yao Tongtong might ask, Chen Zhou could almost guess it.

It's nothing more than "How would it feel to be the youngest winner in the history of the Cole Prize?"

"When I was interviewed by reporters, what was the next goal I said, how have we achieved it now?"

"Are you confident of winning next year's Fields Medal......

And the facts are indeed as Chen Zhou expected.

Yao Tongtong didn't ask any new questions.

It's just that the current Yao Tongtong is a little different from before.

In the past, when Chen Zhou talked about professional mathematical knowledge, Yao Tongtong couldn't even take notes.

It's good now, I can still say a word to Chen Zhou.

That's pretty little bit of math.

But for Yao Tongtong, it's really good.

Rao is Chen Zhou, after listening to Yao Tongtong's professional questions.

also praised the other party.

This is a compliment that Yao Tongtong has been proud of for a long time.

You know, Chen Zhou didn't pay attention to her before.

As a result, now, they are all praising her.

This gap simply made Yao Tongtong ecstatic.

"Mr. Chen Zhou, that's all for today's interview, thank you very much for accepting my interview again!"

After Yao Tongtong finished asking the questions of his interview, he put away his own set of equipment.

Seeing this, Chen Zhou deliberately looked into the distance and said casually: "Is this the end?

Yao Tongtong was slightly stunned when she heard Chen Zhou's words.

No problem?

Isn't that right?

No, no, no......

Could it be that the person in front of him is a fake?

Isn't he the least of his favorite to be interviewed?

How can you take the initiative to ask if there is a question to ask today?

And this interview, the whole process is so cooperative?

I didn't even hear a word......

Yao Tongtong was a little confused.

She had a deep suspicion at the moment that the person in front of her was Chen Zhou.

How is it possible for a person to transform so much before and after?

If it happens, there must be something quirky......

Yao Tongtong immediately thought of something.

Her pretty face was slightly red, and she raised her head slightly, looking at the handsome boy in front of her.

Could it be that I misunderstood what I said?

I'm just here for an interview, but I didn't mean to say anything to accompany you?

Can...... What if it's misunderstood? Isn't that okay?

Doesn't he have a girlfriend?

Is there a crisis in the relationship?

I don't know what it's like to fall in love with such a math genius?

Will you go out to eat, it's all equations?

Alas, my sister is a few years older than you, will this be said that the old cow eats tender grass?

In Yao Tongtong's mind, strange ideas all popped up.

Chen Zhou only felt that Yao Tongtong's expression was a little wrong after hearing his words.

And why is this face red?

didn't know that the other party had thought so much.

If you knew, it would be full of black lines.

I just want to find out the news, but I can also extend so much......

Seeing that the expression on Yao Tongtong's face changed, he didn't speak.

Chen Zhou had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "Reporter Yao, that, I'll ask you about something, okay?"

"Hmm......" Yao Tongtong hummed lightly, and then said to himself, "I think it's okay, although there is an age gap, it's nothing, and it's so handsome and talented, I can accept it......"

"What are you talking about?" asked Chen Zhou suspiciously.

"Huh? no...... It's nothing......" Yao Tongtong came back to his senses instantly, a little embarrassed, and a little nervous and said, "Didn't you just ask a question......?" You ask, right?"

Chen Zhou glanced at her with a strange expression, and said softly: "What news is there after the New Year, do you know? That is, it may be about me, and I can't tell what it is, so I want to inquire with you." ”

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Yao Tongtong raised his head and glanced at Chen Zhou a little confused.

That's it?

Is that what he's going to ask about?

This......

"What's the matter, Reporter Yao?" Chen Zhou met Yao Tongtong's gaze.

Yao Tongtong coughed lightly and explained, "No...... It's okay, you said the news, I do know some ......"

"What is it?" Chen Zhou then asked.

glanced at Chen Zhou again, and seeing that the other party didn't realize the meaning of his previous self-talk, Yao Tongtong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, there was also a trace of loss in her heart.

Perhaps, it's not that others didn't notice it, it's just that this is not what the other person pays attention to.

Yao Tongtong pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Just like last time, this time it's still gossip......

Chen Zhou repeated: "Grapevine?"

Could it be that it has something to do with the math prize?

The last time Yao Tongtong's gossip was the Kohl Number Theory Award.

Chen Zhou suddenly became a little curious.

If it's a math prize, there must be a prize.

If there is a bonus, it can indeed be called a surprise.

If it's for the prize money, oh no, stay a few more days for the math prize.

Chen Zhou was naturally willing.

When the time comes, after receiving the prize, go directly to SLAC, and it will be about the same......

As if he knew what Chen Zhou was thinking, Yao Tongtong continued: "It's about Huaguo's 'Fields Medal'." It was probably not until October next year that the awards could be awarded. ”

"But influenced by the International Mathematics Prize, to be precise, by the fact that you won the Kohl Prize in Number Theory. The Judging Committee decided to award the 16th edition of the award in advance......"

Yao Tongtong then told Chen Zhou all the news he knew.

After listening, Chen Zhou finally understood what the surprise in Dean Sun's mouth was.

The Chern's Prize in Mathematics, which was originally awarded every two years and is usually awarded in October and November, was brought forward to February.

That is, it came in advance after the Spring Festival.

As for the reason for this.

According to the gossip in Yao Tongtong's mouth, it was completely influenced by Chen Zhou.

Because Chen Zhou won the Kohl Number Theory Award, which is already the highest honor in the number theory field.

And in an interview, Chen Zhou also said that his next goal is the Fields Medal.

Judging from Chen Zhou's current growth pace, it will not be too late for Gechai to solve this problem.

If that's the case, then Chen Zhou, who solved Gochai, has almost already booked the 2018 Fields Medal.

At that time, the mathematics prize in China was almost meaningless to Chen Zhou.

So, after all things considered.

In recognition of Chen's achievements in the field of mathematics, the Chinese Mathematical Society decided to award the 2017 Chern's Prize in Mathematics in advance.

The Chern Prize in Mathematics was established to affirm Mr. Chen's achievements, encourage young and middle-aged mathematicians in China, and make contributions to the development of mathematics in China, and reward young and middle-aged mathematicians in China who have made outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics.

Since it was first awarded in 1987, the Chern Prize in Mathematics has been awarded every two years, that is, once a year.

No more than two winners will be selected for each award, and the winner must be under the age of 50 on January 1 of the year of awarding.

With the accumulation of influence of so many editions of the Chern Prize in Mathematics, this award has also had more and more influence in the mathematics community at home and abroad.

It is also known as a kind of "winning the prize" for young and middle-aged mathematicians with outstanding academic achievements in China.

Because of its similarity with the Fields Medal, the Chern-Chern Prize in Mathematics is also known as the Fields Medal of China.
