"Young man, in a hurry to go back to China?" I don't know when, an old man in Tang costume came up to the seat across the coffee table, in good spirits, looking at him with a smile.

"Ahh Li Jingwei was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the old man was talking to him, and subconsciously replied, "Yes." ”

This is an old man in Tang costume, which can be called a crane-haired childish face. For a moment, Li Jingwei seemed to have an illusion, just like his grandfather sitting in front of him.

"I've been watching you for a while, and I've seen you keep staring out the window at the rain. Do you think you can stop the rain?" quipped the old man, "and it is useless to be impatient in the face of a situation that cannot be changed by manpower. Calm down, young man. ”

Li Jingwei thought, this is probably the old man is also bored waiting, come to chat with himself to relieve his boredom. I am definitely not in the mood to chat now, but out of respect for the old man, I still responded: "You can see that I am impatient?"

"Several times you pick up the papers on your desk, turn a few pages, close them and put them down. The coffee on the table was untouched. You don't know, which beautiful waitress has already changed your coffee twice. ”

Li Jingwei turned his head and just saw that the waiter was also looking over, so he nodded to the other party and apologized, and he didn't know if the other party understood. When he entered the lounge, he spent most of his time staring at the rain outside the window, not even remembering that he had ordered coffee.

"How long has it been since you went back?

Li Jingwei originally planned to return to China in two weeks. Puhai High School, where he originally attended, was about to celebrate its 150th anniversary, and he also received an invitation to invite outstanding alumni to return to the school. A phone call from his father disrupted his plans.

"It's been more than two years. Li Jingwei didn't say that he went back to see his seriously ill grandfather, and he didn't want to believe it was true in his heart. He wished it was an excuse for his father to urge him to come back. But, apparently, my father would not use such a thing as an excuse.

The old man saw the reason why Li Jingwei was reluctant to mention it, so he didn't ask any questions, but asked, "Are you currently studying in the United States?"

"I've graduated and I'm working here. ”

"You look about the same age as my unsuccessful grandson, who has just started college. How old is the boy, and what do you do?"

The old man was a very talkative person, so he chatted with Li Jingwei familiarly. That posture was no different from that of an ordinary retired old man. However, Li Jingwei knows that the old man who can sit in the exclusive waiting room of Galaxy Airlines will definitely not be an ordinary old man.

Maybe he saw the shadow of his grandfather from the old man, or maybe he was depressed in his heart, Li Jingwei also answered all questions and chatted with the old man.

In Li Jingwei's tutoring, there are no similar teachings such as "only three points of words when you see people, and you can't throw away all your hearts".

My grandfather often said that honesty with others is the basis of being a human being. If you really can't say it or don't want to say it, you can not say it, but don't lie and say it. In the face of absolute strength, all intrigues and tricks are in vain.

When he was studying, even in the college entrance examination, Li Jingwei knew everything about his classmates' advice and said everything. When students borrow review materials or something, they are all generously lent to their classmates.

He always knew that his competitors were himself, not his classmates or colleagues. To this day, Li Jingwei firmly believes in this.

"Twenty-one years old. I have just started teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ”

Li Jingwei skipped grades many times during his studies, and when others were still in junior high school, 13-year-old Li Jingwei had already graduated from high school. When many high school students were still preparing for the exam, with the two gold medals in the International Olympiad in Mathematics and Physics, Li Jingwei locked in the admission qualification of Jinghua University, a top university in China, in advance.

However, he did not give up taking the college entrance examination, and the title of the top science student in the Puhai college entrance examination that year also confirmed his strength. With these achievements, Li Jingwei was indisputably admitted to the mathematics experimental class of the School of Science of Jinghua University.

At that time, Tenglong International, the leading private enterprise group in China, provided scholarships of 1 million yuan to each of the 9 students in the experimental class, and also donated 100 million yuan to the School of Science of Jinghua University to hire the top scholars from around the world to teach courses in the non-experimental class.

Each student in the experimental class is co-supervised by two Chinese and foreign academician-level professors. Such a super faculty lineup, in the words of the media at the time, was unprecedented, and it would be difficult to have anyone in the future. And every student in the experimental class has lived up to expectations and is now starting to make a name for themselves in the world of mathematics.

Li Jingwei is a leading scholar with research interests spanning multiple fields of mathematics. In his sophomore year, he solved the international mathematical problem "Sitapan Conjecture", and then made a breakthrough in the research of twin primes, graduated from Jinghua University one year ahead of schedule and entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study for a doctorate. During his Ph.D., he proved the existence of the Erdès discrepancy problem, which solved a problem that had plagued academia for more than 80 years.

During the doctoral dissertation defense, Li Jingwei raised several questions that made the five big-name professors blush. At the end of the defense, Paul Emerson, the chairman of the defense committee, quipped, "I think we passed the defense." The crowd burst into laughter.

After graduating, it was only natural for Li Jingwei to stay on the faculty at MIT, becoming a tenured professor just last month. At the age of twenty-one, he is a tenured professor and has also set a record for promotion to professor at MIT.

"Genius!

"The old gentleman is overrated. The boy's surname is Li, Li Jingwei. Li Jingwei replied with a smile.

Be humble in good times and be self-reliant in bad times. Li Jingwei has not experienced much adversity, and it has been smooth sailing since he was a child. In the face of praise from outsiders, especially for his achievements in mathematics, he also has a sense of accomplishment, but he never thinks of himself as a genius. When traveling around with my grandfather, I saw and heard a lot of amazing and talented characters, and that was the real genius.

"What's your surname, old man?"

"Tang Hurricane. Returning home to visit an old friend. Don't call me an old gentleman, an old gentleman, I'm afraid you'll call me old. You can call me Old Don. The old man said with a smile.

"'The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the honest minister. The brave man knows righteousness, and the wise man must be benevolent. 'Donald, the boy has been taught. Li Jingwei said respectfully. Only then did he notice that the gestures of the old man in front of him seemed random, but in fact, his every move was mellow and natural. I didn't expect this old man to have a cultivation realm that is not inferior to his grandfather.

"It's not that deep, the name is just a symbol. I was also in a hurry to go back to visit an old friend who was critically ill, but I didn't expect to be delayed by this sudden thunderstorm. The world seems impermanent, but there is a certain number of drinks and pecks. ”

Li Jingwei also lamented the impermanence of life, and his heart was depressed, so he was silent. In a trance, he seemed to hear Donald say, the coffee is cold, drink it quickly. I couldn't help but look at the coffee on the table, and I saw that the white and black coffee foam actually formed a Tai Chi pattern, and it was still magically rotating. The two points of yin and yang in the picture seem to be infinite gravitational force, which makes Li Jingwei deeply trapped.

Li Jingwei felt as if he was in a wonton world, not knowing where he was, he was just walking in it unconsciously.

A slender girl walked into the waiting room and walked straight towards the old man, followed by the eyes of many men. Although the people who can sit in the Galaxy Airlines exclusive waiting room are basically big names who have seen the world, the appearance of such a pure and refined beauty still attracts everyone's attention.

The woman seemed to be accustomed to this situation, and came to the old man's side with the same expression, and was about to speak, but was stopped by the old man shaking his head. At this time, she noticed Li Jingwei who was sitting next to her with dementia. Feeling the imperceptible and disorderly fluctuating airflow around Li Jingwei, he couldn't help but murmur, "Is this about to break through?"

Li Jingwei felt that he had been walking aimlessly for a long, long time, forgetting where he came from and where he was going. He felt as if he was about to dissolve into this chaotic world, and the original chaotic world seemed to be beginning to be black and white.

Wuji and Tai Chi is why it is easy to have Tai Chi and give birth to two instruments. Li Jingwei remembered that he once asked Zhang Longcheng what "Tao" was. Zhang Longcheng said that the road to virtue is natural and inaction. Li Jingwei only felt that the surrounding scenery was completely new, and there was a sense of calmness, tranquility, harmony and harmony in it.

Could it be that he has realized something? Li Jingwei looked up at Donald, who was looking at him approvingly. Li Jingwei stood up, bowed to Tang Laoshen, and said, "Thank you to Tang Lao for becoming a junior." ”

At this time, Li Jingwei was still Li Jingwei, but the temperament of the whole person has changed a lot, giving people a feeling of warmth and jade from the inside out. Less sharp, a little more restrained, giving people a kind of maturity and accessibility that does not match their age.

"It's your own understanding, I'm just going with the flow. You have achieved this at such a young age, and in time, the future is limitless. Donald said solemnly, "The Tao is natural, and seeking the Tao must also be natural and inactive." But inaction is not inaction. I hope you can follow the right path and make a difference in the future.

"The boy must remember Donald's teachings. ”

"Xiao Li, this is my granddaughter Tang Qiushui, don't you think it's beautiful?" As soon as the painting style changed, Donald suddenly asked with a smile.

"Ah...", Li Jingwei only felt that the camera switched too fast and couldn't keep up with the rhythm. It was still solemn and serious just now, and it became gossip in a blink of an eye. The old gentleman also changed too quickly.

Li Jingwei's eyes turned, and only then did he notice the amazement of the woman next to him. The facial features are exquisite, the complexion is fair, and the black hair is coiled up, which sets off the pink and slender neck, like a beautiful white swan. A khaki slim-fitting trench coat, black pencil pants, and moderately high heels outline the delicate and slender figure. And that elegant and tranquil temperament is like a hibiscus out of the water.

"Miss Tang, hello! I'm Li Jingwei, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Li Jingwei naturally can't evaluate whether the girl is beautiful or not when they meet for the first time, so it will be a bit of a violent wave, so he said it in a proper manner.

Tang Qiushui responded lightly: "Hello!" and then said to Old Man Tang, "Grandpa, the rain has stopped, and you will board the plane in 5 minutes." ”

When Li Jingwei heard this, he immediately looked out the window, although the sky was still gray, but the rain had stopped. Li Jingwei suddenly had an impulse to rush on the plane immediately. Thinking that I would see my grandfather immediately, tears couldn't help but roll in my eyes, and the complicated feelings of anxiety and anxiety came to my heart again.

"Donald, this is the kid's business card. I hope you can leave a contact information for the boy, and when you are at home, you will definitely come to thank you. Li Jingwei said respectfully again.

"You're welcome, young man. I hope to make you a little friend, and we will meet again in the future. Tang Lao said as he handed Li Jingwei a business card. It's a plain business card on paper, made from recycled paper, with a quaint pale yellow tinge, with only one name and a phone number on it.

At this moment, the waiter walked over and reminded the three of them to board the plane with a smile.

Since Tang Jifeng's grandfather and grandson's seats were platinum-level, while Li Jingwei's gold-level seats, after getting on the plane, the three of them separated.
