From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 67 Not everyone can be mentored by a Fields winner

The report meeting was a complete success.

After it was over, Qiu Chengtong took Lin Mo and introduced him to the experts and scholars in the front row one by one.

When Qiu Chengtong introduced Lin Mo, he praised Lin Mo so much that he almost felt embarrassed.

"This is Academician Qi from Yanbei University..."

"This is a single academician from Yanjing Teachers University..."

Both academicians laughed and praised Team Lin Mo for his hard work.

"This is Academician Fu from Tunghai University..."

Fu Mingli looked at Lin Mo with a complicated expression.

"Lin Mo, after more than a month, you gave me a big surprise!"

"When I see you now, I can only regret it. No matter how good you are, I will regret it."

"Hmm? Academician Fu, do you know him?"

Qiu Chengtong looked at Fu Mingli strangely.

"Yes, we have known each other for a long time."

"Lin Mo..."

Fu Mingli opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He knew that to this day, there was nothing more he could say. With Lin Mo's current grades, it would be impossible for him to go to Tunghai University.

"Lin Mo, if you need anything next time, you can contact me. Our Donghai University is no worse than Shuimu University. The door of Donghai University will always be open to you."

"Okay, Director Qiu, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Fu Mingli turned around and left.

"Between you and Academician Fu..."

Lin Mo shook his head.

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't want to talk, Qiu Chengtong didn't ask any more questions. He rolled his eyes slightly. Although he didn't know exactly what happened between Lin Mo and Fu Mingli, he could roughly guess something from their words.

Qiu Chengtong took Lin Mo with him and introduced all the scholars attending the meeting. This was actually helping Lin Mo accumulate contacts and supporting Lin Mo.

……

the other side.

Birkar looked at the paper in front of him, thought for a while, and picked up the phone.

"Oh, Madsen, I have already reviewed that paper. I don't think there are any problems. This paper is very helpful. It does completely prove the Kratz conjecture and can be published."

"Yes, yes, no need to doubt, what? You ask me why I am so sure?"

"Damn it, are you questioning my academic level? And if the author of the paper breaks the paper into pieces and explains it to me in front of me, and I'm still not sure, I think I can quit the world of mathematics. .”

"You asked me why I met the author of the paper?"

"My God, you don't know about today's report meeting, right? The author of today's paper held a special academic report meeting, including the entire proof process. I remember I sent you an invitation."

"What? You didn't pay attention? Damn it, what do you pay attention to every day!"

"Oh, by the way, I suggest you publish this paper as soon as possible this issue."

"What? You said it's already been printed? It's too late?"

"Then you can do whatever you want. They have already made reports, and there is no shortage of a paper like yours. But if there is another paper like this in the future, I think your journal will probably not be considered. Well, look. I have to seriously consider whether to submit articles to you in the future..."

After saying that, Bill Carr hung up the phone.

……

"Coucher, you can't do this!"

"Oh, damn it!"

Madsen angrily threw the phone aside.But after a while, Madsen grabbed the phone again.

"Inform the editorial department to add that paper and re-type it for printing!"

"Yes, let's put it in the first article."

"What? You said it's too late?"

"Then give me overtime and let them hurry up! Do you still need me to teach you?"

Madsen put down the phone angrily, suddenly remembered something, turned on the computer and started typing on the keyboard.

……

After seeing off the experts and scholars, Qiu Chengtong took Lin Mo to his office.

Tian Fangyi and Zhang Qihua wanted to follow, but Qiu Chengtong refused because they wanted to talk to Lin Mo alone.

"Xiao Lin, your report today was wonderful and very successful."

"I would also like to thank you, Teacher Qiu, for providing me with this opportunity."

Qiu Chengtong waved his hand.

"I just did what I should do. If the domestic mathematics community wants to develop, we seniors must keep an open mind and pave the way for the younger generations. Only in this way can mathematics flourish, let a hundred flowers bloom, and a hundred schools of thought contend."

Having said that, for Lin Mo, Qiu Chengtong did provide him with a lot of help. At least a large part of these experts and scholars who came today were to give Qiu Chengtong face. Otherwise, just one person would be able to help him. The gimmick of proving Kratz's conjecture is a fool's errand to attract so many experts and scholars.

Maybe one day, when Lin Mo's reputation reaches a certain level, these experts and scholars can sell this face, but for Lin Mo, who is currently unknown, there is still a long way to go.

Therefore, Lin Mo is sincerely grateful to Qiu Chengtong, and of course Professor Fang Boliang who worked hard for this matter.

"By the way, Xiaolin, what are your plans next? Are you going to research in that direction?"

"Continue to study number theory, topology? Or something else?"

"This one……"

Lin Mo didn't answer because he really hadn't had time to consider this question. When Qiu Chengtong asked him, Lin Mo was confused for a moment.

Looking at Lin Mo's blank eyes, Qiu Chengtong shook his head.

"Xiao Lin, what do you think of Shuimu University?"

"Um……"

Lin Mo thought about it.

"Shuimu University is very good. As one of the top universities in the country, it is among the top in terms of teachers, environment, academic resources, and academic atmosphere."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, a smile appeared on Qiu Chengtong's face.

"Oh? Then have you considered coming to Shuimu University?"

If Qiu Chengtong knew Lin Mo from Fang Boliang at first, he was just a little curious about Lin Mo and felt that Fang Boliang was bragging.

But after meeting Lin Mo, Qiu Chengtong did realize that Lin Mo was outstanding, with talent, hard work, and perseverance. Qiu Chengtong even saw the shadow of his own youth in Lin Mo.

After listening to Lin Mo's report, Qiu Chengtong admired Lin Mo even more, because Lin Mo's entire report, except for being slightly nervous at the beginning, became better and better in the end. Faced with a kind of expert scholar Neither humble nor arrogant, respond appropriately.

He has a big heart, treats people well, behaves well, and has an online emotional intelligence. This makes Qiu Chengtong value Lin Mo more and more.

Therefore, Qiu Chengtong became interested in talents and wanted to bring Lin Mo to Shuimulai to train him well.

"..."

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't answer, Qiu Chengtong continued.

"You said it yourself, we have the best teachers in the country here."

"You are still a graduate student. If you want, I can be your mentor. Of course, if you feel that I am old and there is a generation gap with you young people, I can also recommend Coucher to be your mentor. If you want to come to him I will definitely not refuse.”

“You know, not everyone can be mentored by a Fields Medal winner.”

Qiu Chengtong said half seriously and half jokingly.
