From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 87 Versailles

"Leader, I know that you have been worried about our mathematics research center. You have provided us with a favorable environment and generous treatment, and you have resisted all rumors for us, so that we can conduct research with peace of mind. …”

Tian Fangyi naturally knew that many people had complained to Qi Zhenhai.

A person who is not envied by others is a mediocre person. A big tree attracts the wind. Tian Fangyi naturally understands this truth.

"Hmph, it's good that you know."

When Qi Zhenhai heard that Tian Fang understood his difficulty, he felt much relieved. He breathed out from his nostrils and snorted coldly. Although his expression was still cold, he walked slowly back to the desk and put the notebook back on the table.

"Tell me, what's going on this time?"

“Let’s make it clear first, if you want resources or subsidies, don’t ask.”

Qi Zhenhai came up and blocked Tian Fangyi's road.

"How can I? Leader, am I the kind of person who only knows how to ask for things from you?"

Qi Zhenhai rolled his eyes and glanced at Tian Fangyi with disdain.

Tian Fang was not embarrassed at all and was still smiling.

"Leader, I really have good news to report to you this time."

Qi Zhenhai didn't speak, just looked at Tian Fangyi.

"Such a leader. Didn't we apply for a short-term project on Fourier transform before?"

"Ah."

Qi Zhenhai nodded. If it was about other projects, Qi Zhenhai might not know much about it, but he had paid special attention to the Mathematics Research Center project.Who asked the Mathematics Research Center to give the school a face?
"What? You're not going to tell us that your project is completed, are you?"

There was uncertainty in Qi Zhenhai's tone. He didn't quite believe that the Mathematics Research Center could complete this project in such a short time. Although he was not a mathematician, he knew something about it. The restrictive problem of Fourier transform was not that Easily solvable.

Qi Zhenhai didn't believe that the Mathematics Research Center could complete the project in such a short period of time.

"That's not it."

Hearing Tian Fangyi's words, Qi Zhenhai breathed a sigh of relief.

Because if Tian Fang Yizhen said it was completed, Qi Zhenhai would suspect that the Mathematics Research Center had committed academic fraud.

"Then what good news do you have?"

"That's it, leader, we made some mistakes in our research on the limitations of Fourier transform..."

"Huh? Something wrong?"

Qi Zhenhai frowned, this didn't sound like good news.

"Well, many scholars in the academic community said before that in order to solve the Fourier transform limitation problem, we must first solve the Kakeya conjecture. As long as we solve the Kakeya conjecture, we can solve the Fourier transform limitation problem, so we will mainly Focus on Kakeya’s conjecture..."

"Ah."

Qi Zhenhai nodded. He had heard this too, and Kakeya guessed that he also knew it. He just wanted to prove Kakeya's conjecture. How easy was it?
"So you want to change the project? You can't do this, Lao Tian. I'm not criticizing you. You can't give up when you encounter a little difficulty or setback. You must be brave enough to challenge and face difficulties head-on..."

"No, leader, we are not changing the project."

Seeing Qi Zhenhai's attitude of preaching, Tian Fang hurriedly interrupted Qi Zhenhai. If Qi Zhenhai was allowed to continue speaking, he would not have the chance to speak.

"It's like this. We carried out research on Kakeya's conjecture, but unexpectedly, we completed the proof of Kakeya's conjecture, but found that it did not substantially promote the solution of the Fourier transform problem. This shows our direction at that time A problem occurred and research time was wasted, so I am here to report the situation to you, principal."

"Please rest assured, leader, that we have reconfirmed the research direction, accelerated the research speed, and strive to catch up on the lost time."

"Uh-huh?"

Qi Zhenhai listened and nodded, but the more he listened, the more wrong he became.

Didn’t you say you were here to report the good news to me?
Why doesn't this sound like good news?
and many more……

Qi Zhenhai's eyes widened sharply, and he looked at Tian Fangyi in surprise. "You mean..."

Qi Zhenhai jumped up from his seat.

"Did you prove Kakeya's conjecture?"

"Yes, leader, we made mistakes in our research. Although we achieved some small results, we made directional errors and failed to live up to your expectations of us, leader. We..."

"To shut up!"

Qi Zhenhai shouted angrily.

By this time, if he can no longer hear Tian Fangyi's Versailles, he will be a stick.

Qi Zhenhai pointed at Tian Fangyi with his finger, his fingertips trembling, obviously very angry.

"you you you……"

Tian Fang hurriedly stepped forward to rub Qi Zhenhai's back and handed him water.

After a while, Qi Zhenhai finally regained his breath.

"You call this a research error? You call this a small achievement?"

Qi Zhenhai glared at Tian Fang angrily.

"Well, you old man, you don't want to learn anything, but you can learn Versailles!"

"hey-hey."

Tian Fang scratched his head and giggled.

"Are you sure you have proved Kakeya's conjecture?"

Qi Zhenhai asked again worriedly.

"Well, sure, the paper has been submitted to "Journal of Mathematics" and is confirmed to be published in the next issue."

Hearing Tian Fangyi's affirmative answer, Qi Zhenhai felt relieved. With the endorsement of "Journal of Mathematics", Qi Zhenhai naturally had nothing to doubt.

"Okay, okay, Lao Tian, ​​you have done a good job. It is worthy of my support for you in the school committee and suppressing those letters of complaints and reports against you. It seems that I did not misjudge the person."

Qi Zhenhai patted Tian Fangyi on the shoulder, feeling greatly comforted.

"Leader, look at how competitive our Mathematics Research Center is, can you..."

Naturally, Tian Fangyi would not let go of this opportunity to hit the snake and follow the stick. When it was time to ask for benefits, Tian Fangyi never let it go.

"Stop!"

Before Tian Fang could finish his words, Qi Zhenhai interrupted him.

"Old Tian, ​​your Mathematics Research Center has received too many benefits during this period. You should be satisfied. Look, these are all letters complaining about you. Any one of them can be enough for you to drink. , not to mention so much! You have already received enough, so don’t think about anything else in the short term.”

Qi Zhenhai patted a stack of documents on his desk and motioned to Tian Fangyi.

"But leader, isn't this what we deserve? The achievements of our Mathematics Research Center are obvious to all. We can't erase the achievements of our Mathematics Research Center just because of the jealousy of these people, right?"

"I don't mean to erase your achievements..."

"Aren't you trying to erase our achievements? Then, leader, you just said not to think about anything else in the short term. Leader, do you know how hurtful this is? Our researchers work so hard, day and night, every day 007 Yes, we finally achieved results, but because of these groundless complaints, our achievements are going to be wiped out?"

Tian Fang's words were filled with grievances.

Qi Zhenhai couldn't help but hold his forehead.
