Lu Zhou didn’t really care about where the report was held.
For the stuff that was unrelated to academia, he would be happy for soone else to do it for him.
Normally speaking, an academic report was a very troubleso thing to host. Not only would one have to worry about the guests eating and sleeping, but they would also have to consider all of the possible unexpected situations that could happen. However, for Jin Ling University, this was the opposite.
Because of Lu Zhou’s international academic reputation and the reputation of the existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills equations in the mathematics and physics community, it was foreseeable that there were going to be many big nas that would be attending this report session.
Being able to host an academic conference of this caliber was obviously beneficial for the school’s academic status.
Especially for a school that was interested in showing themselves on the international academic stage, they were more than happy to help Lu Zhou host this report.
The organization of the report beca a top priority for the university. The administrative departnts held several days of etings, and they talked about everything from the safety of the eting to the placent of the water cups, to the dishes at the banquet.
Inside the principal’s office.
Principal Xu found several teachers who were involved in administrative work to further discuss so of the report arrangents.
However, he suddenly heard a knock at the door.
When Principal Xu saw Academician Wang Shicheng at his office door, he paused for a second.
Wang Shicheng was the chairman of the China Mathematics Society, and he was one of the leaders of the mathematics community at Yan University. Even though Principal Xu wasn’t a mathematician himself, he was still well aware of Academician Wang’s reputation in academia.
Principal Xu imdiately knew his intentions.
However, he pretended like he didn’t know anything.
“Oh, Old Wang, what brings you from Beijing? You didn’t even tell you were coming.”
Academician Wang Shicheng walked to the sofa and sat down. “I had a eting in Jiangsu. After the eting, I ca here to look at my old friend. What? Am I not welco?”
Haha!
You never talk to normally, now you think of as a friend?
Only a dumb*ss would believe you!
“What do you an?” Principal Xu smiled and looked at his assistant next to him. “Xiao Yang, go and get Academician Wang a cup of tea.”
“Okay.”
Xiao Yang imdiately stood up and walked to the cabinet. He then took out the tea set.
After the tea was ready, the two of them began to chat casually while drinking tea. The teachers that had administrative responsibilities were left aside. They looked at each other and didn’t know what was going on.
Half an hour had passed by, and Wang Shicheng finally couldn’t handle it anymore.
Even though he tried to divert the conversation to Lu Zhou and the Yang-Mills equations multiple tis, Principle Xu would always quickly avoid the conversation.
He put down the teacup and looked at Principal Xu.
“Old Xu, to be honest, I ca here to ask for help.”
Principal Xu said, “Oh yeah?”
Wang Shicheng cleared his throat. He then said, “A while ago, Professor Lu published a thesis in Annual Mathematics, right? It’s about the existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills equations. A lot of the professors in my departnt looked at it and felt that the thesis was very well written.”
No sh*t.
Who doesn’t know it’s good?
Did you win a Fields dal or a Crafoord Prize?
Principal Xu still smiled on the outside, but he didn’t say anything.
Wang Shicheng continued to speak slowly, “But I’m sure you also know the rules of academia. For this type of major mathematics proposition, a thesis is not enough. Surely one would have to host a few report sessions and express their views to other scholars? This proposition can only be considered solved after answering all of the questions.”
Xu Jian said, “Oh, what do you an?”
Professor Wang Shicheng stopped hiding his intentions, and he said, “I don’t an anything... It’s just that, Yan University wants to invite Professor Lu to do a report.”
“Oh sure, this is easy, I’ll ask Professor Lu for you.” Xu Jian smiled and said, “If he agrees, then I’ll allow it. The second report session will be at Yan University.”
Academician Wang, who had a smile on his face, nearly vomited.
“This... isn’t appropriate, right?”
Xu Jian asked confidently, “What’s wrong?”
Wang Shicheng said, “This kind of important international event shouldn’t be done in Jinling, it should be done in Beijing.”
Xu Jian: “Oh, are you looking down on Jinling?”
Wang Shicheng slapped his thigh and said, “No, that’s not what I ant. I ant that Yan University has a higher status in the international mathematics community, and we have experience in organizing international mathematics reports. Let us do it, we can show the international community the sophistication of the Chinese mathematics world!”
Xu Jian said, “We also have experience hosting international academic conferences, and it’s also our duty to show the world the strength of Chinese mathematicians. Don’t worry about this.”
Wang Shicheng said, “Old Xu, you know the level of mathematics at Jin Ling University, so why are you fighting this?”
Plus, Xu Jian, you’re a computer scientist, why are you stepping into the mathematics world?
However, Xu Jian wasn’t happy. He didn’t slap the table, but he spoke impolitely. “Does Yan University have a Fields dal?”
Wang Shicheng paused for a second and shook his head.
Xu Jian: “What about a Crafoord Prize?”
Wang Shicheng was muddled, and he shook his head.
Xu Jian said, “Oh yeah, we have both of them.”
Wang Shicheng: “...”
F*ck sake!
Can you just have a normal conversation with ?
Seeing how this conversation was going sideways, Wang Shicheng shook his head and stood up.
“Old man, you’re being unreasonable. I’m not going to talk to you. Where is Professor Lu? I’m going to talk to him.”
“Professor Lu is not here.”
“Where is he?”
Xu Jian rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t ask , find him yourself.”
Wang Shicheng: “...”
After Wang Shicheng left Principal Xu’s office, Principal Xu looked at the muddled teachers inside the room.
Principal Xu then asked in a stern manner, “Did you hear what that old piece of crap said?
“He thinks we can’t do it!
“I repeat again, this report will affect the glory of Jin Ling University! It will affect our future!
“If anything goes wrong, I’m blaming it on you guys!”
