From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 56 You are Lin Mo’s most suitable mentor

"Ok?"

Fang Boliang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

"You mean..."

"Ah."

Zhang Qihua nodded.

When he saw Zhang Qihua nodding, Fang Boliang was really tempted.

Although he had not been in contact with Lin Mo for a long time, Fang Boliang already knew something about Lin Mo.

After these two days of discussions with Lin Mo, Fang Boliang had already felt how powerful Lin Mo was.

Lin Mo's knowledge is very comprehensive. Whether it is in the field of number theory, topology, or differential equations, Lin Mo has almost no shortcomings.

In terms of talent, Lin Mo has a high talent in mathematics. Fang Boliang can tell that Lin Mo has not dabbled in some knowledge points before, but he just explained briefly, and Lin Mo has already learned by analogy and mastered the knowledge points.

At the same time, Lin Mo's thinking was extremely quick and flexible. Often when Fang Boliang had just started, Lin Mo would have already followed Fang Boliang's thoughts and thought of and listed all the possible possibilities.

Moreover, Lin Mo was extremely diligent and hard-working, and had a hard-working spirit that would not give up until a solution was solved, to the extent of forgetting to sleep and eat.

Fang Boliang also learned from Zhang Qihua that Lin Mo would spend more than ten hours a day studying in the library, rain or shine, day after day.

If this is not hard work, how can it be hard work?
If Fang Boliang were asked to sum up his impression of Lin Mo in one sentence, he would probably say:

Excellent talent, flexible mind, solid foundation, hard work and perseverance.

For students who are talented but are not afraid of hardship and are willing to work hard, success is just a matter of time.

Fang Boliang originally just admired Lin Mo and had no other thoughts, but now that Zhang Qihua brought it up, it was impossible not to be tempted in the face of such a rare and good young talent.

"Teacher Zhang, you..."

Zhang Qihua smiled helplessly.

"Professor Fang, you have also seen that with my level... I really don't want to delay him..."

In fact, Zhang Qihua had this idea when Fu Mingli was in charge.

It's just that Fu Mingli is too strong, so strong that he has become a schoolmaster. In order not to restrict Lin Mo's future development, Zhang Qihua rejected Fu Mingli.

But Fang Boliang is different. Although Fang Boliang is also a well-known scholar in the industry, he is not like Fu Mingli. He does not have a strong monopoly in the academic world like Fu Mingli. Instead, he has been doing research with peace of mind. His reputation is more It is academic, unlike Fu Mingli's reputation, which has extended to all aspects.

And because he focuses on academic research, Zhang Qihua believes that Fang Boliang is more suitable than Fu Mingli academically. This does not mean that Fu Mingli is not academically good, but that Fu Mingli has many other things besides academics, which take up too much of his time. time and effort.

Relatively speaking, as a mentor, Fang Boliang may be more suitable because he has more time and energy to devote to teaching Lin Mo.

Zhang Qihua believes that Fang Boliang will be happy to do this.

Zhang Qihua did a survey on Fang Boliang. Fang Boliang didn't have many disciples, but he did his best to train each one of them. This is a teacher who is willing to pay for his students. Of course, this may be because he doesn't have many disciples. s reason.

With sufficient academic attainments, enough time and energy, and willingness to contribute to the students, Zhang Qihua felt that there was no one more suitable than Fang Boliang.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, Fang Boliang, who does not have as many fetters and halos as Fu Mingli, will not become an obstacle to Lin Mo's future development, but an important boost to his development.

Fang Boliang would be the mentor who helped Lin Mo get on the horse and give him a ride.

This is the reason why Zhang Qihua thought about it for a long time before asking Fang Boliang to speak.

Fang Boliang was tempted, and he considered Zhang Qihua's words seriously.

"Teacher Zhang, I need to think about this matter carefully."

"There's no rush, Professor Fang. It's already late today. Why don't you go back and rest first and think about it carefully."

"Ah."

Fang Boliang nodded, said hello to Lin Mo, asked him to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and left the Mathematics Research Center with his thoughts on his mind.

Zhang Qihua also sent him out.

Lin Mo was the only one left in the office, sliding his pen tip across the paper from time to time, making rustling sounds.

……

"Lin Mo, it's time for me to go back..."

On this day, after discussing with Lin Mo for a while, Fang Boliang said.

Fang Boliang originally came to give a lecture and only planned to stay in Dongshan for one night, but he did not expect that he would stay here for three days because of Lin Mo's question.Now three days have passed, and Fang Boliang still has things to do at school, and it's time to leave.

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.

"Professor Fang, do you want to leave?"

"Yeah, I still have things to do at school, I need to go back."

"But……"

Before Lin Mo could speak, Fang Boliang waved his hand.

"As for your problem, I have said everything I can think of and need to say. If I stay here any longer, I won't be able to provide you with any more help. You can only rely on yourself for the rest."

"To put it bluntly, I'm drained by you."

Fang Boliang said this and laughed.

"Okay, Lin Mo, the next step is up to you. I look forward to one day hearing the news that you have proved Kratz's conjecture."

"At that time, I hope you won't refuse if I invite you to give a report at Shuimu University."

"No, Professor Fang, I will definitely go when the time comes!"

"And...I won't keep you waiting too long!"

"Hahaha, good, good, good, we do academic work, we must have this kind of confidence!"

"Come on, Lin Mo, see you at Shuimu University!"

"Thank you, Teacher Fang! See you at Shuimu University!"

Lin Mo bowed deeply to Fang Boliang to express his gratitude.

"Professor Fang, I'll see you off!"

Zhang Qihua chased Fang Boliang out, and the two walked side by side on the road of Dongshan University.

"How about it, Professor Fang? What do you think about that matter?"

Fang Boliang stopped and turned to look at Zhang Qihua solemnly.

"Teacher Zhang, I've thought about it. I'm sorry, but I can't promise you."

"why?"

"As I said just now, I have been hollowed out by Lin Mo. I have nothing to teach him."

Fang Boliang smiled helplessly.

"But……"

Fang Boliang waved his hand.

"Mr. Zhang, I have inquired about you these two days and learned about your relationship with Lin Mo. Have you ever thought that you are Lin Mo's best and most suitable mentor?"

"I?"

Zhang Qihua pointed at his nose in surprise.

"Professor Fang, you are joking. I know how much I weigh. I can't teach him anything. I will only delay him."

"Do not."

Fang Boliang interrupted Zhang Qihua with a wave of his hand.

"Teacher Zhang, I think you are a little presumptuous."

"I was able to discover Lin Mo's talent before he showed up, and have been silently supporting him and funding him. With this relationship, if I want Lin Mo to choose, he will only choose you to be his mentor."

"Moreover, in terms of knowledge, I think Lin Mo no longer needs to learn from anyone. He doesn't need to be someone's disciple, inherit someone's mantle, and inherit someone's academic theory. That will only limit his imagination. Strength and creativity, he has his own development and his own creation, he doesn’t need to be so and so, he just needs to be himself.”

"At present, what he needs is someone to escort him. In this regard, I think Mr. Zhang, you have done a good job."

"So, Teacher Zhang, you are Lin Mo's most suitable mentor."

"I……"
