When I left Professor Lui's side, it was almost seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Politely declining Professor Lu's invitation to dinner, Junxin walked briskly towards the school's faculty cafeteria.

It stands to reason that Mizuki's cafeteria was closed after dinner. However, the staff cafeteria, like the school cafeteria in later generations, opened late. Mizuki's professors often postpone meals because of the research work at hand, but not all professors go home to eat, so there is a rule that the faculty cafeteria closes later.

The masters in the faculty cafeteria all knew Junxin, after all, among a large group of professors and teachers, a boy who was only eighteen years old often came and went here, and he couldn't get noticed if he wanted to. Seeing Junxin hurriedly walking into the cafeteria empty-handed, the master greeted him warmly.

"Jun is here?" Junxin habitually stood in front of a window, and the master sitting inside greeted Junxin warmly, "Or the third child?" ”

"Well, the old three!" The master is a person from the Jianghuai region, and he cooks the best Huaiyang cuisine, because of the problem of origin and growth environment, so Junxin also prefers Huaiyang cuisine, and when choosing to eat, most of them choose this window. The so-called three things refer to the three things that Junxin likes to eat the most, one is tofu, the same is meatballs, and one is dumplings. Junxin's favorite thing to do is to eat dumplings with tofu and meatballs, and sometimes he saves rice.

The master quickly cooked a meal for Junxin, and when Junxin turned around to find a location, he suddenly heard the master say to Junxin mysteriously: "Xiaojun, go to the small private room on the left hand side on the second floor to have a look, there is a surprise!" ”

"Surprise? What is it? Junxin asked suspiciously.

"Wouldn't you just have to see?"

"Thank you, master, I'll go first!" Junxin nodded and walked towards the staircase.

"Surprise, it's in the cafeteria again, hehe, who could it be?" The only thing Junxin can think of is this possibility.

When Junxin came to the second floor with the food, he had not yet reached the door of the private room when he heard a familiar conversation coming from inside.

"It's Hua Lao!" Junxin was stunned, and then there was a burst of excitement. Hua Lao did not plan to visit the United States last year, but after seeing Junxin prove Modell's conjecture, he came up with the idea of visiting abroad, Tai Ban's idea was for Junxin's article, after all, even if it was to open up as a foreign country, no one would believe that this was the result of a seventeen-year-old boy. And Hua Lao's departure is nine months.

“… In the United States, I went to see Professor Chern Shiingshen, who was going to return to China, but in the end, because of the establishment of the American Society of Pure Mathematics, he was elected as the first director, so he had to be postponed until three years later, which is a bit of a pity. This voice is mellow and gentle, it is Hua Lao's voice.

"The teacher can just wait a little longer, Mr. Chen estimates that he will return to China after being the director for these three years, and it will not be difficult to meet again at that time." It was Professor Hu who spoke to persuade him.

"That's right." Hua Laoyu said with a smile, "When I chatted with Brother Chen, I talked about the current situation in China, but Brother Chen was not interested in domestic political trends at all, and finally I chatted with him about the current situation of education in China and some people who began to emerge after ****, Brother Chen was very interested in this topic." ”

"What did the teacher and Mr. Chen say?" Professor Hu asked with interest, and Junxin, who was standing outside the door, also stopped preparing to knock on the door, and Junxin still wanted to know the content of the conversation between Hua Lao and Chen Lao.

"Needless to say, Brother Chen's academic level is self-evident, but Brother Chen's vision of people is also unique and superior. He is very concerned about the academic trends in China in recent years, especially the evaluation of Junxin, I think it is to the point. ”

"He said, 'Not fast, not arrogant, not impatient, calm and introverted, quite like everyone's demeanor', which is quite similar to the feeling that Xiaojun gave me. But after all, I've been in contact with Xiaojun, so I know him relatively well. However, it is only through the exchange of letters with Xiaojun that you can guess Xiaojun's character inseparably, and it does have its own unique and extraordinary insight and insight. ”

"Jun gives me the feeling that this is indeed the case!" Professor Hu echoed, "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have been arrogant. Xiao Jun can't see this kind of arrogance, he is not only stricter with himself, but also has a wide range of involvement. ”

"I also heard it when I was in the United States, and he had linked Fermat's great theorem to the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, which is internationally recognized as Junxin's inference. Professor Ry-Beckett was chatting with me and told me that if Fermat's theorem could be proved successfully, then the Junxin inference would be the key they used to solve the problem. Hua Lao's voice was a little relieved, "Now, we have to be considered a successor in mathematics!" ”

Junxin was embarrassed for a while after hearing Hua Lao's evaluation outside the door, what he didn't expect was that Hua Lao actually had such a high evaluation and expectation for him, and even thought that he would be the hope of the Chinese mathematics community in the future.

"But recently, he has been doing research in physics, although when he was chatting with Professor Zhou, I heard him talk about some of Xiaojun's achievements in physics, but will this distract him? In terms of chemistry, Professor Cheng has personally asked us about the quasicrystalline materials research laboratory jointly established by the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Chemistry, and as the founder of this field, Xiaojun will devote a certain amount of energy and time to this aspect. Although I support all of these things, I am still very worried about whether he has enough energy to do more. ”

"Hehe, don't worry too much, after all, he is only eighteen years old, and there are still infinite possibilities, so don't limit him too much, let him choose for himself, we just need to help him at the right time, or guide him, so that he doesn't go the wrong way." In this regard, it is obvious that Hua Lao is more open-minded. It is true that after four years of working at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, during which he has seen too many cattle and geniuses, although Hua Lao has a preference for Junxin in his heart, it has not reached the level of Professor Hu.

Hearing Hua Lao's words, Professor Hu also calmed down and let go of all the worries in his heart.

And Junxin outside finally calmed down his excited mentality, took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door of the cubicle.
