Zhao Yi had thought that the question-and-answer session would be quite tedious, but in reality, because the proof process was so clear, those who could understand it had no questions, and those who couldn’t understand it were too embarrassed to ask simple questions.
So, the question-and-answer session didn’t take much ti.
When no one raised their hand to ask questions, the presentation report was essentially over. Under the gaze of everyone in the venue, Zhao Yi bowed slightly towards the audience and stepped down from the stage with a relaxed smile.
Applause rang out again.
Many people in the front row took the initiative to greet him, offering their congratulations to Zhao Yi --
"Congratulations, Zhao Yi!"
"It’s so successful, so perfect. From now on, the study of theoretical mathematics has taken another step forward."
"You integrated group theory and sieve thods perfectly!"
"This is the most direct and clear proof I’ve heard in over a decade!"
"..."
Zhao Yi shook hands with the people who ca over, thanking them for coming a long way to listen to his presentation.
Hu Zhibin stood by and introduced Zhao Yi. He had t many of the people for the first ti himself, but before the presentation began, he had morized the nas of all the VIPs.
Now every person can be matched with a na.
Everyone’s face was full of smiles and their words were full of goodwill, but the content made Yasnhua University’s side quite upset.
The chief editor of "Mathematics Society Magazine", Professor Thomson from the University of Florida, made an invitation to Zhao Yi, "Have you considered changing the environnt? I really hope to beco a colleague with you so we can often discuss mathematical problems together."
"The University of Florida would certainly not mind offering you a full professorship." Professor Thomson said with a full face of smile.
The people around were a bit surprised to hear this.
It’s not easy to be a full professor at a world-class university. It requires having highly influential achievents in your research field.
The full professors at top universities can be considered as the world’s top in their respective fields, such as so Nobel Prize winners, who are full professors at top universities.
This is already the highest position.
Zhao Yi’s achievents are enough but his age to receive such an invitation is indeed very enviable.
"Florida? What’s in Florida? Sunbathing at the beach?" A sharp voice sounded, containing so disdain and dissatisfaction.
Others looked and found it was Professor Hughes from Princeton University.
Hughes strode indignantly over and seriously said, "Princeton University is the heaven for mathematics. You could only find companions for mathematical research there."
"Florida is for playing beach gas. The life there is very leisurely, truly, very nice. They also study mathematics, just like playing gas. Like, a few children, together, learned the multiplication table, and then started researching the multiplication of two-digit numbers."
"They may have a breakthrough in understanding multiplication, but it’s still multiplication..."
Hughes has no idea what it’s like to be rciful with his words. His descriptions made Thomson’s face darken. He was preparing to rush over. Considering Hughes’s age, he could only endure it and didn’t know what to do in the mont.
Watching the two about to start a fight, Zhao Yi said with a bitter smile, "Both of you, both of you, I don’t have plans to go abroad for the ti being."
"Why?"
"What’s the point in staying here? I’ve never heard of this university."
Hughes and Thomson asked together.
"Because..."
Zhao Yi said lightly, "I’m still a student. I won’t be a sophomore until September. I’m still a student and I don’t want to work yet."
"..."
"..."
The people around looked at each other after hearing this.
This explanation was completely unexpected and they didn’t know how to react.
The mathematical genius who proved the Goldbach Conjecture by two thods is still studying at a university that does not rank in the world... studying?
What the hell?
Zhao Yi continued to explain, "I am studying biological science, not mathematics. I plan to develop in the field of biological research in the future, so... I’m sorry."
Thomson didn’t give up and said, "You can also transfer to the University of Florida. Our biology departnt is one of the top in the world."
This ti, Hughes also nodded in agreent.
Zhao Yi simply said, "But I just want to study in my own country. I’m familiar and comfortable with the environnt here. Maybe I will consider going abroad in the future, but definitely not now."
"Thank you, but I really don’t plan to go abroad."
"I’m sorry."
Zhao Yi didn’t want to continue this topic and directly said the closing remarks.
Hughes and Thomson looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They ca to China to hear the report and actually intended to poach Zhao Yi. Now it seems that they will certainly not succeed.
At the sa ti.
A few people from Yanhua University, including Vice-Chancellor Tang Rongxiu, were considering a question: Should they raise Zhao Yi’s professor level?
He has already proved the Goldbach Conjecture and is recognized as one of the world’s top mathematicians, and so many famous schools want to poach him. Should he continue to be a Rank-4 professor, which seems to not quite fit?
At least...Rank-2, right?
This issue needs to be discussed in depth.
The professor’s title rating is a policy within the system. Rank-4 is already a full professor.
Zhao Yi was promoted to full professor through the Education Bureau’s special promotion. Entering the system should follow the rules of the system. After accumulating certain years, qualifications, and achievents, he can be further promoted.
