From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 79 Annual Meeting of the Society for Number Theory
October 2024, 12!
Ye Fei walked in from outside the office, holding an invitation letter with a red cover in his hand.

"What's wrong." Tan Lingling sat on her desk and looked at Ye Fei who walked in with a smile: "The ex-girlfriend is married, so I sent you a wedding invitation?"

Ye Fei shook his head amusedly and said, "What, it's an invitation letter for the annual meeting of the Number Theory Association."

Tan Lingling looked at Han Dong who was sitting in front, and said, "Han Dong, why have I never seen you receive the invitation letter for the annual meeting of the Number Theory Association?"

Han Dong said in a muffled voice without turning his head: "The Number Theory Association said that I am married and not suitable for playing. Only single is suitable for playing."

My heart is bitter, I want to accept it, but the Number Theory Association won't give it to me!
He did know that each newly promoted individual member would have an invitation to the annual meeting, only once.

After becoming an honorary member, you can attend the annual meeting every year.

Tan Lingling pursed her lips, she didn't believe Han Dong's words, what the hell, a bunch of old men went to the big health care!

I don't even see if I can do it.

She looked at Ye Fei with a smile, and said, "Can I bring my family to the annual meeting?"

"Yes." Ye Fei said, "But my parents definitely don't want to go."

"Me!" Tan Lingling laughed and said, "I can pretend to be your girlfriend."

Ye Fei glanced at her, and moved his eyes down. It's too small. I like big ones. Then he shook his head and said, "Then I'd better not go."

"What?" Tan Lingling puffed her lips, and said unconvinced: "Is it okay for me to pretend to be your girlfriend?"

"If I take you there, others will think that my golden cudgel is making troubles in the sea, turning the rivers and seas upside down."

While talking, Ye Fei walked to his desk and sat down.

"What do you mean?" Tan Lingling was puzzled.

Han Dong in front covered his mouth and let out a chuckle: "Hehehe..."

During this period of time, Ye Fei has read a lot of literature about the ABC conjecture, and already has many ideas about the ABC conjecture.

The ABC conjecture has already been basically proved, but the most critical link is still missing.

As long as Ye Fei breaks through this key point, he can prove the ABC conjecture.

Ye Fei glanced at the system.

[Task: Prove the ABC conjecture (80%)
Reward: 1000 points]

"There are only 20% left, but now the thinking is stuck, and it is difficult to move forward."

October 2025, 1!
Ye Fei flew to Chang'an City to attend the annual meeting of the Number Theory Association.

The headquarters of the Association of Number Theory is located in Northwest University, so the annual meeting and most of the activities of the Association of Number Theory are held in Chang'an.

Sofitel Chang'an!
Ye Fei boarded the third floor of the Sofitel Hotel, came to the door of a private room, and walked inside after the doorman read the invitation letter.

The 500-square-meter large private room is decorated with splendor, with a red carpet on the floor and a crystal chandelier hanging from the top.

The round tables are neatly arranged, with numbers pasted on each position.

Ye Fei found his seat and sat down according to the number on the invitation letter.

The people at the table with him were all middle-aged people in their 50s and [-]s, and there were hardly any young people in the audience. Ye Fei, a young man sitting among them, looked very awkward.

It's like a flower stuck in cow dung, it's so bright.

After Ye Fei sat down, he nodded friendly to the people at the same table to say hello.

When they saw Ye Fei, doubts flashed in their eyes.

They had never seen Ye Fei in the past.

A middle-aged man beside him looked at Ye Fei and asked, "Hello, my name is Kang Jiachen, a professor of mathematics at Southwest University. Who are you?"

"Hello!" Ye Fei said, "I am Ye Fei, a lecturer in the Mathematics Department of Zhonghu University."

"Ye Fei?" A trace of doubt flashed in Kang Jiachen's eyes. He had never heard of this name before, and he was still a lecturer. Almost all the people who could come to the annual meeting were professors!
Although Ye Fei proved the continuum hypothesis and was in the news, there are many people in the mathematics world who have never heard of him.

He is not Wu Dalang, the king of green hats is famous all over the world.

Oh, yes, he doesn't have a girlfriend, and there's no such thing as a cuckold.

"Are you an individual member?"

"Yeah!" Ye Fei said, "Yes."

"This year's?"

"Yes!"

Kang Jiachen secretly thought about it, to be able to become an individual member at such a young age must have had major research in number theory.

And it is definitely not his personal ability to have major research at such a young age, so there is only one possibility, he has a teacher who is so powerful.

His teacher took him to study together, so he is eligible to become an individual member of the Number Theory Association.

Allow your students to become individual members, at least honorary members or above.

Such a person is a bigwig in the mathematics world.

Kang Jiachen said in his heart: "I know every honorary member, I'll ask him."

Kang Jiachen asked with a smile, "Who is your teacher?"

"Lu Yishan!"

Kang Jiachen frowned instantly, who is this person, I've never heard of it!

"Isn't your teacher an honorary member of the Number Theory Society?"

Ye Fei shook his head slightly: "My teacher is Professor Lu Yishan from Zhonghu University, who studies set theory and algebra."

Kang Jiachen asked, "An honorary member of the Algebra Association?"

Number theory and algebra are the two most mainstream researches in the mathematics world, and they are also the most researched mathematicians, so number theory and algebra have their own associations.

Number theory has the Number Theory Society, and algebra has the Algebra Society.

Not an honorary member of the Number Theory Association, but an honorary member of the Algebra Association. They are also very powerful, and they are all big names in the mathematics world.

Ye Fei thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It seems not."

Ye Fei had never heard that Lu Yishan was an honorary member of the Algebra Association.

"But he is a member of the Fulian!"

Kang Jiachen was stunned: "A member of the Women's Federation?"

Kang Jiachen sneered and said, "What's the use of this member?"

The Women's Federation, a group of women's associations, is his teacher a woman?
Well, it doesn't matter if it's a woman, but members of the Women's Federation don't help math!

"Watch the Avengers Premiere discount, do you think it's big?"

Ye Fei is an avid fan of the Avengers. Every time the Avengers movie comes out, he will go to the cinema to watch it.

Kang Jiachen looked confused, this person must be out of his mind, let me ask you about the Algebra Association, you talk about the Avengers, what do the Avengers do?
Did you fight with your father?
The people beside Kang Jiachen whispered something in his ear, and Kang Jiachen suddenly realized that Lu Yishan was him.

He was puzzled: "How did Ye Fei become an individual member? His teacher is just an ordinary mathematics professor!"

At this time, he saw the chairman of the Association of Number Theory approaching, and everyone at the table stood up and said hello, "Hello, chairman!"

Seeing everyone standing up, Ye Fei also stood up and said hello, "Hello, chairman!"

"Hello!" The chairman smiled.

He looked at Ye Fei again and said with a smile: "You are Ye Fei, right? I love you like thunder!"

The Academy of Sciences has paid attention to Ye Fei, so he must come to say hello to Ye Fei. It is good for him to establish a good relationship.

"The chairman is polite." Ye Fei smiled.

"Eat well and play well today." He raised his eyebrows at Ye Fei and said, "Don't leave after the annual meeting is over. I'll pull a group of old men to cook for you."

"Open a small stove?" Ye Fei was stunned, what small stove?
Everyone around looked at Ye Fei enviously, look, how kind the chairman treats him!

It's a small matter, the chairman hasn't done this for many years.

It seems that he likes this young man very much!
"Okay, I'm busy."

The chairman nodded to the few people present, then turned and left.

Everyone looked at Ye Fei in the wrong way, like a wolf staring at a little white sheep, their eyes shining brightly.

The chairman came to greet Ye Fei in person, and even gave Ye Fei a little trouble. The relationship between the chairman and Ye Fei is very hard!
The chairman is the top manager of the Number Theory Association, and usually only talks to some honorary members.

Like group members and individual members, there is almost no contact with him.

With the big thick legs of the chairman, he has not yet been able to fly in the Association of Number Theory.

Looking deeper, being the chairman of the Number Theory Association is not an ordinary person in the mathematics world.

This is equivalent to, with the chairman's big thick legs, he will go all the way in the mathematics world without looking back.

Kang Jiachen tentatively asked, "Are you familiar with the chairman?"

Ye Fei smiled and said, "You saw it too!"

Kang Jiachen suddenly realized, and said, "I understand, I understand!"

Looks very familiar.

Ye Fei was speechless, you know what.

I also met the chairman for the first time today, and I don't even know why the chairman knows me.

After that, Kang Jiachen took out his three-inch tongue and licked Ye Fei frantically.

Although you can't lick the chairman, you can also lick Ye Fei!

As long as I lick Ye Fei well, Ye Fei is familiar with the chairman, and sooner or later I will be able to lick the chairman too.

After licking the chairman, I will reach the pinnacle of my life.

There are always such a group of people in academia who rely on connections to get to the top.

Not only in academia, there are such people in any field.

Ye Fei had a smile on his face, and his words were neither humble nor overbearing, and he grasped the relationship between the two parties very well.

Kang Jiachen licked his face and smiled, "What has Ye Xiaoyou been researching recently?"

Look, this is from Ye Fei's closer relationship to Ye Xiaoyou.

"ABC guess!"

Kang Jiachen looked confused, then smiled and said: "Then it must be not far from success, so let me congratulate Ye Xiaoyou first."

Disdainful, ABC guess?just you?I can't even imagine being able to prove success.

"Thank you, but I'm still some distance away from proving the ABC conjecture."

Kang Jiachen said with a smile: "A certain distance is definitely not a problem for your intelligence, Ye Xiaoyou. You will be the winner of the Cole Number Theory Prize next year."

The Cole Prize is divided into the Cole Prize in Algebra and the Cole Prize in Number Theory, which are the highest awards in algebra and number theory respectively.

The ABC conjecture belongs to number theory. If it proves successful, it will naturally win the Cole Prize in Number Theory.

Ye Fei was sweating in his heart. I don't know if I will win the Cole Number Theory Award next year, but you will definitely win the Best Dog Licking Award next year.

Not to you, I am the first to disagree.

Soon, the annual meeting began, and the chairman went up to speak.

Ye Fei fell asleep after listening to such a long speech.

The chairman spoke for half an hour before the banquet began.

ps: How do you feel about changing your writing style to a more relaxed one?
I am also in the experimental stage, and the second half of the last chapter is also written in this style.

Write in this style in the future if you can.
