Chapter 306: The First Meeting with the Big Guy

Chapter 306

The next day, Cheng Nuo had a full class in the morning.

The two meetings were arranged in the afternoon and evening.

The first thing Cheng Nuo attended was a meeting with Professor Fang's research group in the School of Mathematics.

Professor Fang, whose full name is Fang Ruoyu, is a top expert in the field of applied mathematics in China.

He is currently the deputy director of the Department of Mathematics in the School of Mathematics of Tsinghua University.

In 2012, he was named a Changjiang Scholar, becoming one of the first 200 Changjiang Scholars in China.

At the 26th International Congress of Mathematicians held in 2018, he was invited to give a 45-minute academic report on stage.

The following year, in 2019, Professor Fang, who was 57, won the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award.

As for the Chern Prize in Mathematics, Professor Fang had already won it 20 years ago.

Since then, Professor Fang has become one of the few mathematicians in the Chinese mathematics community to have won both the Chern Prize in Mathematics and the Hua Luogeng Prize in Mathematics.

The status in the academic world is naturally highly respected.

Cheng Nuo also learned yesterday that he was going to meet such a bigwig-level academic bull after being introduced by Senior Wang Jiji today.

The venue of the meeting was arranged at the residence of the professor in Tsinghua University.

According to the address given by Professor Lu, Cheng Nuo came to the high-end teacher's apartment in the northeast corner of the campus. Most of the people living in this apartment are teachers with professorial titles.

Knock knock~~!

Cheng Nuo came to the second floor and knocked on the door cautiously.

"Wait a minute, it's coming!"

A pleasant female voice rang out, and a few seconds later, the door was opened from within.

It was a girl with a ponytail, dressed in simple casual clothes, with no powder on her face, but she looked fresh and delicate. Judging by his appearance, he is a few years older than Cheng Nuo.

The girl was wearing an apron around her waist, and it looked like she had been cooking in the kitchen before. Bright eyes looked Cheng Nuo up and down curiously.

Cheng Nuo coughed dryly, "I'll come to see Professor Fang." ”

"Then you should be Cheng Nuo. The girl said Cheng Nuo's identity in one word.

Cheng Nuo nodded in acknowledgement.

Cheng Nuo glanced at the girl's outfit and said with a smile, "You should be the nanny of Professor Fang's family, right?" ”

Protect...... Nanny?!

The corners of Su Xuanqi's mouth twitched, and her face turned dark.

She took off her apron angrily, took out her student ID card from her pants pocket, pointed it to Cheng Nuo and said, "I'm not a nanny, my name is Su Xuanqi, and I'm a student of Professor Fang." Oh, look, I'm a graduate student in the class of 2019. ”

"By the rules, you should call me ...... Senior sister, right, Senior Brother Cheng Nuo?" Su Xuanqi opened her mouth with a smile and bit the last four words very hard.

"Uh...... That's true. Cheng Nuo was stunned for a moment, "But, senior sister, are you very short of money, and you have been reduced to being a little nanny for others?"

"Whew-" Su Xuanqi raised her fist, so angry that she didn't know what to say. She gritted her teeth and said in a warning tone, "Again, I'm your senior sister, not a little nanny!"

In order to study academics, Professor Fang has never married in his life, and he has few relatives next to him. Usually Professor Fang takes care of me, so if I have time, I will come over to help Professor Fang cook a meal and chat with him. As for the nanny, Professor Fang was afraid of spending money, so he didn't invite him. Su Xuanqi explained the reason.

"Respect for teachers, senior sister, this quality of yours is rare nowadays. Cheng Nuo smiled and complimented.

"That's it. Su Xuanqi clasped her hands in front of her chest and rolled her eyes arrogantly.

"Xiaoqi, is it Cheng Nuo at the door, if so, let him in. A slightly old but confident voice came from inside the room.

"Teacher, we'll come in right away. Su Xuanqi replied and dragged Cheng Nuo's clothes and walked in.

Inside, on the sofa, an old man was looking down and flipping through a newspaper.

Professor Fang's appearance was similar to what Cheng Nuo had in mind before he came.

A thin body, gray silver hair on sideburns, a wrinkled face, and eyes full of infinite wisdom. Although it is a little muddy, it cannot hide its fortitude.

Professor Fang Ruoyu, this is an old man who has dedicated his whole life to the cause of mathematics in China, full of peace.

"Teacher, this is Cheng Nuo. The two stood in front of Professor Fang, who was sitting on the sofa, and Su Xuanqi opened her mouth to introduce.

Professor Fang, who was flipping through the newspaper, looked up at Cheng Nuo.

"Hello professor!" Cheng Nuo greeted respectfully.

"Good, good. Professor Fang nodded with a smile and beckoned Cheng Nuo to sit down, "Sit down and talk." ”

Cheng Nuo sat obediently opposite Professor Fang, with a coffee table in between.

"Teacher, you talk first, there is still a soup in the kitchen that has not yet been made, I'll keep an eye on it. Su Xuanqi turned around and walked into the kitchen.

In the living room, only Professor Fang and Cheng Nuo were left.

Professor Fang put the newspaper aside, looked at Cheng Nuo, who was a little restrained with his hands on his knees, and said with a smile, "Cheng Nuo, don't be so nervous, you still have two seniors who haven't arrived, now let's talk as ordinary friends." ”

This is the first time that Cheng Nuo and the top bulls in the academic world are sitting together, and it is inevitable that he will be nervous.

But if you think about it carefully, you will become such a bombarding character in the future, and the uneasiness in your heart has dissipated a lot, but the sense of awe still exists.

Professor Fang personally poured a glass of water for Cheng Nuo, and Cheng Nuo was flattered to take it. Professor Fang looked at Cheng Nuo with deep eyes and said, "Cheng Nuo, I heard Professor Lu say that you are only a freshman this year, right?"

Cheng Nuo took a sip of saliva and nodded, "Well, I just entered Tsinghua last year. ”

"When Professor Lu introduced you to me, he said that you have a good talent in mathematics, and you won the first prize in last year's college entrance examination and this year's mathematics competition. The future is terrifying!" Professor Fang praised with a smile.

Cheng Nuo smiled and waved his hand, "A little achievement, it's far worse than teaching you." ”

"Don't say that. I'm an old man who has more than you do with decades of math experience. In terms of talent, I was not as good as you at that time. What others can figure out in an hour, I have to delve into it for three hours to understand. If it weren't for my thick skin and the fact that I hadn't been hit, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been the one sitting here chatting with you today. Professor Fang was a little emotional.

Cheng Nuo smiled, "Therefore, it is even more admirable that you can achieve such an achievement, professor." ”

"Hahaha, you kid, you're going to be flamboyant. Professor Fang laughed.

............

Knock knock~!

While the two were chatting happily in the living room, there was a knock at the door.

"It's supposed to be your two seniors here. Xiaoqi, go open the door. Professor Fang said to Cheng Nuo first, then turned around and shouted to the kitchen.

"No, Professor, I'll just open the door. Cheng Nuo got up and went to the door to open the door.

The door opened, and two boys, who were not very tall, entered.

Both are second-year students in the School of Mathematics, and both are students under Professor Fang.
