Chapter 448: Chapter 274: He Really Proved Brother’s Guess!_2

After Lin Xiaoqing entered the campus, she stood by the entrance watching Zhao Yi drive away. Reflecting on the events of the past week, she blushed slightly and felt anger. The object of her anger was the people of Yanhua University.

"Ring ring ring..."

Her cell phone was ringing.

Lin Xiaoqing looked at the number and her expression darkened. She answered the call, trying to keep her tone steady, "Is this Doctor Yu?"

"It’s me."

The voice of Yu Zhen came over the phone, "I’m at Yanhua University, just wanted to check how Zhao Yi has been this week. Is he stable? How’s his mental state..."

"His mental condition is excellent!" Lin Xiaoqing shouted out each word, increasingly irritated, "Could you please stop making wild guesses, Zhao Yi is perfectly fine. It’s you all who have a problem, you should go and get your brains checked instead!"

"A bunch of idiots!"

Unable to control her temper any longer, Lin Xiaoqing spewed out a curse and then switched off her phone. She even blocked Yu Zhen’s number.

On the other end of the line.

Yu Zhen put down the phone looking confused, he had no clue why he was being scolded. A bit crestfallen, he then muttered, "She said Zhao Yi is perfectly fine and the problem is with us?"

"Wonder whether I am the doctor, or she is!"

Zhou Li shook his head and said, "Don’t take the words of a young girl to heart. Maybe the two of them had a squabble."

"You might be right, something might have indeed happened. But moving forward... let’s try to avoid bringing up the Goldbach Conjecture in front of Zhao Yi. If he initiates it, try to divert the topic. Gradually, he will forget about it." Yu Zhen gave these instructions about their approach for the future.

Zhou Li had immense faith in Yu Zhen and quickly conveyed this matter to many others.

All the people familiar to Zhao Yi were informed, even Fan Lei, Li Renzhe, and Meng Zheng were individually called over and given detailed instructions.

Monday.

Zhao Yi returned to campus and resumed a normal college life. Taking advantage of the fact that his two papers were yet to be published, he was quite relaxed, at least there were no journalists to interview him.

He was extremely excited about having solved the Goldbach Conjecture.

Although the peak period of his excitement was over, others would certainly ask about it, so he casually mentioned his proof for the Goldbach Conjecture while talking to other professors from the School of Sciences, especially the mathematics professors.

Zhao Yi soon realized that something was amiss.

Whenever he mentioned the Goldbach Conjecture, the conversation quickly veered off in another direction.

For example, after the advanced mathematics class was over.

Zhao Yi once again thanked Hu Zhibin, stating that his inspiring advanced mathematics class had sparked the inspiration in him to prove the Goldbach Conjecture.

Hu Zhibin just nodded indifferently. With a strange look in his eyes, he started talking about his ongoing research project dealing with a hyperbolic function problem. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Zhao Yi followed his lead and said a few words.

It was not strange that Hu Zhibin alone behaved this way, perhaps he just didn’t want to acknowledge his gratitude. But it was weird when other people behaved the same way.

While running into Qian Hong on the street, Zhao Yi expressed his gratitude for her help in bringing him meals. Instead, Qian Hong started discussing the difficulties of teaching students. "I’m teaching the computer science department’s operating system course this semester for the first time. The syllabus is so extensive that I have to prepare for each class for a long time."

"You’re definitely capable."

Zhao Yi encouraged Qian Hong and then asked, "Once you’ve completed your Ph.D., you’ll be able to stay on in the university, right?"

"Yes."

Qian Hong nodded, "But it’s hard to become an official lecturer immediately. Likely, I’ll have to start as a student counselor or an adjunct professor."

"That’s not bad either."

Zhao Yi gave a suggestion, "You could also work part-time at the Laboratory of Intelligence and Automation as a researcher and publish a few papers. That should definitely help in obtaining a permanent position, right?"

"That’s what I’ve been thinking too." Qian Hong said seriously.

They chatted a bit more and then separated.

Zhao Yi deeply pondered and found it unusual. Why was it so difficult to discuss the Goldbach Conjecture?

Also, no one else was bringing up the topic of Goldbach Conjecture. Even when Xu Chao called him, they only discussed the problem with the website and did not say a word about his research.

Something was definitely not right!

"Could it be that they are all envious of me and feeling threatened? After all, I used two different methods."

"Well, it can’t be helped."

"Outstanding people are often envied. No one talking about it could be a good thing, it feels quite a bit more relaxed..."

At the same time.

In an office at the University of Florida, Dunn and Thomson were preparing for an upcoming interview.

They had already fully understood Zhao Yi’s proof of the Goldbach Conjecture and confirmed that it was sound.

Now they were using the proof of the Goldbach Conjecture as a base to promote the upcoming new issue of the "Mathematics Society Magazine". The competitive nature of top-notch math journals sees them all striving to be number one. When they have groundbreaking results to publish, they make early announcements to increase anticipation among the academic community and the public for the new issue.

Soon, the journalists arrived.

With a broad smile on his face, Old Dengen looked at the camera and said, "I reveal yet another piece of news. The new issue of the ’Mathematics Society Magazine’ will publish the proof of the most compelling mathematical conjecture." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"I believe that it will mark a significant advancement in the exploration of mathematical theories!"

Sitting beside him, Thomson added, "This proof is linked to a very young mathematician, a universally acknowledged prodigy. For now, we won’t mention his name, you all can guess."
