Chapter 539: Hello, Goodbye
"Yes, I have remarried Peter. Mary said.
Peter Schultz won the Fields Medal at the last World Congress of Mathematicians, and he received the highest honor in mathematics, and he also welcomed the return of his ex-wife.
Scholz, who had never won a Philippine Prize, ran away from his wife, and a group of German fellows besieged him, and the German mathematical genius was reduced to a villain.
And Schultz, who won the Fields Medal, is now in high spirits, his wife is back, and the German countrymen have forgiven him.
It seems that career is indeed the strongest foundation for men, and men with brilliant careers are omnipotent, exuding an attraction that is difficult to refuse.
Shen Qi said to Mary: "I didn't expect us to meet again, but we parted. Anyway, I wish you happiness. ”
"Thank you for your blessings, Qi. Mary smiled, a woman who regains her marriage is happy.
After saying goodbye to Mary, everyone went to the café on the third floor.
"The coffee break in the Department of Mathematics at the University is a good memory. Shen Qi touched the scene, he drank coffee here for five years, from an international student to a famous mathematician, chatting and laughing with all kinds of big bulls, and solving the problems of the century.
It's just that the big bulls who drank coffee with Shen Qi back then went their separate ways, and the golden generation of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Mathematics was dispersed like this, and Shen Qi was still a little inexplicably sad.
Director Peverman often sits by the window, and the current owner is Director Knox.
Two old German friends, Professor Faltings and Professor Müller, often argued at the round table under the blackboard.
The round table was the same one, and the people who discussed the mathematical problems were replaced by Professor Carter and his doctoral students.
As the so-called iron-clad battalion and flowing soldiers, the sign of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Mathematics is erected here, and the heroes of all parties will sing and I will appear.
The arrival of Shen Qi made the atmosphere of the café more enthusiastic.
"Hey, Qi, let's have a special latte, this is a specialty of the math department. The bearded Professor Carter had a loud voice.
"Isn't the specialty of the mathematics department Irish coffee?" said Shen Qi, taking the latte.
"We used to like to drink Irish coffee, but now our hobby is lattes. Professor Carter shrugged and said, finishing with Zhou Yu'an's warm greeting: "Zhou, I hope we can have a good time." ”
Zhou Yu'an nodded and said, "Of course." ”
The academic exchange group led by Shen Qi has members from mathematics, physics, chemistry and other majors.
During this visit to the United States, the members of the delegation will conduct a series of academic discussions with their American counterparts according to their own specialties.
Zhou Yu'an will have an in-depth exchange with Professor Carter in the field of partial differential equations and differential geometry. This is something that has been agreed upon in advance.
Li Zhenqiang also came with a project task, and he will exchange views with his American colleagues in the field of algebraic geometry.
The mustachioed Director Knox slapped his face and said, "Let's welcome Qi, Zhou, and Li again, I believe it will be a happy party." ”
Shen Qi, Zhou Yu'an, and Li Zhenqiang raised their coffee cups and thanked Director Knox for their warm welcome.
"Actually, I have one more thing to announce. Director Knox continued, "I'm from a polytechnic otaku gathering place, I've been crazy with a bunch of crazy scientists for the past five years, and then it's time to enjoy life, I want to meet some beautiful girls, yes, I'm ready to go, I'll go tomorrow." ”
"Walter?"
"So suddenly?"
Many people present showed surprised expressions, including Shen Qi.
Li Zhenqiang looked confused, he understood Director Knox's words, but he didn't understand the true meaning.
"Polytechnic otaku is a nickname for Washington state, and Mad Scientist and Beauty refer to New Jersey and Arizona respectively. Zhou Yu'an whispered in Li Zhenqiang's ear, he had been in the United States for several years and knew some black words in the United States.
"Oh. Li Zhenqiang seemed to understand a little.
After living and working in Washington State, Knox moved to Princeton University in New Jersey, where he worked for five years and became chair of the mathematics department.
Now, Director Knox wants to go to Arizona, where beautiful girls are gathered, and enjoy life happily.
Director Knox went to Arizona, did he crave an affair, or did he ...... Li Zhenqiang was pondering, and Director Knox said, "The school has approved my resignation, and my next position is ...... President of the University of Arizona. ”
I see, Director Knox resigned, and he was going to be the president of the University of Arizona, which was full of beautiful girls and was easily soaked.
The level of academic research at the University of Arizona is certainly not as good as that of Princeton University, but everyone has their own ambitions, and Director Knox is about to become president, which can be regarded as a promotion.
Everyone stood up and walked up to Director Knox, hugged him, and sent good wishes.
Shen Qi and Director Knox actually have little to do with each other, and a month after he returned to China, Director Knox jumped to Princeton.
"Director Knox, may every day of your time in Arizona be a happy hour. Shen Qi and Director Knox hugged goodbye and sent heartfelt blessings.
Shen Qi, professor emeritus of mathematics at Princeton, said goodbye to Knox as a colleague.
Zhou Yu'an and Li Zhenqiang did not hold any positions in Princeton, they just looked at it and didn't speak, drinking coffee and watching the excitement.
Shen Qi was smiling on the surface, but he was puzzled in his heart.
In less than an hour, Shen Qi encountered two things of a similar nature, Mary and Director Knox, both of whom said goodbye as soon as they met, what is this for, resigning en masse?
But in all fairness, whether it is the head of the department or the president, in the eyes of Americans, it is nothing more than a job.
For those young people who are on the rise in their careers, it is of course great to be able to work in a prestigious academic institution.
For an experienced veteran driver like Director Knox, enjoying life is, of course, the most important thing.
It's normal for jobs to change, so you Shen Qi are allowed to return to China to develop and get married and have children, and Director Knox is not allowed to go to Arizona to pursue a happy time?
"Director Knox, who will be the new head of the mathematics department after you leave?" Professor Carter asked in a loud voice.
"Guys, I'll have to dwell on a few more words, after all, my position at Princeton will last until six o'clock this afternoon. Director Knox said.
The crowd fell silent and listened.
"The university has consulted me about the new head of the Department of Mathematics, and hopes that I can recommend a few candidates among the current professors, honorary professors, and lectures in the Department of Mathematics. Director Knox looked around and locked his eyes on Shen Qi: "I have a suitable candidate in my heart, Qi." ”
Shen Qi: "Huh?" (https:)
