Chapter 205 Ning Chen, let me tell you a secret

These poems are very beautifully written, and they are all poems that Ning Chen has never read before.

Ning Chen quickly thought that this was probably written by Qiu Chengtong himself, and it was a poem composed by Qiu Chengtong himself.

If Ning Chen guessed correctly, Qiu Chengtong should have used the four treasures of the study that he had given to Qiu Chengtong before to write these works.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen asked:

"Professor Qiu, is this a poem you composed yourself?"

When Qiu Chengtong saw this, he also smiled and said:

"Yes, they are some of my humble works. They were written casually and have no literary value."

Poetry creation is only Qiu Chengtong's hobby, but Ning Chen can also see from it that Qiu Chengtong does have some talent for poetry creation.

"Equations and figures are all said to be equal to business. Objects and galaxies make people intoxicated, and black holes make people sleepless when thinking... Professor Qiu's poetry style is really unique in that he can combine mathematics and physics so well into poetry creation."

"Okay, don't brag about me. Ning Chen, let me tell you a secret now."

Hearing that Qiu Chengtong suddenly wanted to tell him a secret, Ning Chen seemed a little at a loss.

"Professor Qiu...what's the secret?"

"I was one of the reviewers for the research paper on the Navier-Stokes equation that you submitted to the Journal of the American Mathematical Society."

Ning Chen was also very unexpected when he heard this, which was contrary to the normal review standards of academic journals.

"Professor Qiu, are you a reviewer of this paper? The relationship between us... you shouldn't be suitable to be a reviewer of this paper, right?"

Ning Chen felt that the Journal of the American Mathematical Society should know about his relationship with Qiu Chengtong, or at least that they knew each other.

Under such a situation, normally Qiu Chengtong would definitely not be selected as a reviewer for this paper, because if Qiu Chengtong knew that Ning Chen had submitted this paper before, then during the review process, there would be the possibility of favoritism.

"Yes, I thought so before. Because during the review process, I judged from some details that this paper was probably written by you. I also specifically told the Journal of the American Mathematical Society about this. However, they still insisted that I continue to review the paper.”

"Really? This is quite an incredible thing." Ning Chen said.

"Then I thought about it again, and finally figured out the reason. I think it's because the review of this paper is too difficult, and their "Journal of the American Mathematical Society" really can't find suitable reviewers. No. To exaggerate, I think there may not be more than two digits of people in the world who can fully understand this paper."

When Ning Chen heard the number Qiu Chengtong said, he couldn't believe it.

However, Ning Chen thought about it carefully and felt that Qiu Chengtong was not exaggerating.

When Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan chatted before, Tao Zhexuan himself said that it took Tao Zhexuan a lot of time and energy to understand this paper.

Even Fields Medal winners find it very difficult to understand this paper, let alone other people.

It is precisely for this reason that they are willing to risk the reviewer and the author of the paper to be familiar with each other to arrange the review work of the paper.

……

When it was time for the finals interview to begin, Ning Chen came to the interview room.

Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan sat on both sides of Qiu Chengtong. This interview review lineup can be said to be very luxurious.

A few people first roughly discussed some of the details and standards for today's interview, and the interview soon began.

At the beginning, Ning Chen felt a little uncomfortable with being an interview judge because many students were about the same age as herself, but Ning Chen was already sitting in the judge's seat.

However, as the interview progressed, Ning Chen gradually found his groove and could freely ask questions to the students.

Compared with Qiu Chengtong's seriousness, Ning Chen's attitude towards students is relatively friendly, and he will give students some encouragement when they are nervous during interviews.

Of course, this does not mean that Ning Chen's requirements for students are not strict enough. On the contrary, the questions Ning Chen asked are very professional questions, and it is difficult to answer them accurately without sufficient level.

When grading students, everyone will also have some communication with each other.

When Tao Zhexuan communicates with Qiu Chengtong, he not only uses English, but also sometimes uses Cantonese.

Ning Chen's understanding of Cantonese is not as good as English. When Tao Zhexuan and Qiu Chengtong communicate in Cantonese, Ning Chen even finds it difficult to accurately understand what the two people are talking about.Ning Chen thought to himself that when he had time later, he would also learn Cantonese.

Several people spent the whole morning completing the interview review of some outstanding candidates.

"Ning Chen, it's your first time doing an interview review. How do you feel?"

"I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but I quickly got used to it. The overall level of the participating students this time is pretty good. Not only do they have a good professional foundation, but they have also developed certain scientific research ideas."

"Well, Ning Chen, I hope you can adapt to it. You are the most well-known person who has participated in the autumn competition. If possible, I really hope that you can come and interview for every autumn competition in the future. Review.”

Ning Chen couldn't agree too much. After all, he had a lot of things to do, and he didn't know if he would be able to make time to come here every year.

"Professor Qiu, as long as I have time, I will definitely come over."

After the finals interview, the final results came out quickly.

Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan attended the final awards ceremony together and took photos with some winning students.

For some of the particularly outstanding students, Ning Chen also left his email addresses for them. If they have any math questions, they can communicate with him through the email.

After finishing the work for this autumn competition, Ning Chen returned to the hotel room.

"Huh... I finally got all this work done."

Ning Chen had to admit that he had underestimated the intensity of this work before.

At this time, Ning Chen also admired Qiu Chengtong more and more for being able to insist on setting up these competitions and training camps. If it were Ning Chen, he would not have the energy to do these things.

At this time, Ning Chen remembered that he should contact Song Xiyun now.

The last time Ning Chen came to Yanjing, because it was not convenient to disclose the itinerary, Ning Chen did not tell Song Xiyun about it in the end.

But this time, Ning Chen appeared at Shuimu University as a public guest, so it would be unreasonable not to contact Song Xiyun.

In addition, Ning Chen still missed Song Xiyun very much after not seeing her for so many days.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen sent a message to Song Xiyun, explaining that he was currently at Shuimu University and had just finished the interview and review work for the autumn competition.

Soon, Song Xiyun replied to the message.

"Ning Chen, you finally remembered to contact me."

Ning Chen suddenly felt that he had neglected Song Xiyun. In the recent period, Ning Chen had indeed not contacted Song Xiyun because he was busy with various tasks.

"I'm sorry, I've been busy at Shuimu University with the autumn games these past two days, so I didn't bother to go to Yan University to see you."

"Why are you nervous? I know you are very busy and I have no intention of complaining. So why don't you come to Yanda to find me now?"

"Okay, I'll go right now."

This time, the two of them made a tacit agreement not to mention the matter of looking for Lin You. Even if Ning Chen wanted to look for Lin You, there is a high probability that Lin You would not show up due to various reasons.

When Ning Chen went to Yan University, Song Xiyun did not wait at the same place. Instead, she walked towards the school gate nearest to Ning Chen and met Ning Chen.

Just when Ning Chen walked into the school gate, he saw Song Xiyun walking towards him.

After not seeing Song Xiyun for several months, Ning Chen felt that Song Xiyun had undergone some changes.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. I didn't expect you to become Teacher Ning." Song Xiyun said with a smile.

"Yes, time flies so fast. I remember when we first met, I was in my first year of college and you were in my first year of graduate school. Now that I have stayed in school, you... you don't seem to have graduated yet."

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun said aggrievedly:
"Life is already so difficult, so don't expose some things. You can't even run away from a girl, so I didn't say anything."

After the two made fun of each other, they finally found the feeling they had when they got along.

"Ning Chen, you are the interview judge for the autumn competition this time. Did you show any mercy to the students of Yanda during the interview?"
