I Am the President of the University

The phone was connected and Xu Chenyang's lazy voice came.

"Teacher, why did you call me so early in the morning..."

Tian Rou was furious, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "If I don't fight you quickly, I'm afraid I won't have time to fight you when you get to Guanghua."

There was silence on the other side.

Then a sigh sounded in the empty room.

"Teacher, I'm sorry to live up to your high expectations. It's really incredible to make this decision, but I don't regret it." Xu Chenyang said firmly.

People with their IQ usually make many assumptions when considering problems.

Joining Guanghua University is the best solution.

Choosing Guanghua is naturally not a choice made on the spur of the moment.

Tian Rou's face froze, and she asked incredulously: "Guanghua University is developing well, but it is completely different from Peking University! There is no comparison at all. If you choose to go to Guanghua, it will only waste your talent!"

"Then go to Peking University?" Xu Chenyang asked.

Tian Rou hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Well...even if you don't go back to Peking University, you can still go to Tsinghua or Fudan."

Xu Chenyang knew that his teacher, the vice president of Peking University and the chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society, was naturally good at what he did, but he still had some flaws.

"Teacher, it's not that I'm being harsh, but the schools you mentioned are not as good as Guanghua in some aspects." Xu Chenyang said lightly.

"Oh?" Professor Tian Rou laughed angrily, "In addition to money, I'd also like to hear what other aspects are there?"

Apart from being rich, what advantages does the guy from Guanghua University have?

Peking University and Guanghua University are like the difference between an elegant gentry and a nouveau riche.

"Teacher, do you really want to hear it?"

"All ears!"

Xu Chenyang couldn't help but shook his head and said calmly: "Money is indeed a characteristic of Guanghua, but the point is not the total amount of money, but the use."

"Does Peking University have no money? Yes! Peking University has a lot of financial allocations. Some research groups even have tens of millions of dollars, but what about the graduate students below?"

"There is a conference here in the beautiful country. Graduate students who attend can basically be reimbursed for everything. After several conferences, it is clear who is in the field and what their level is."

"As you know, the reimbursement for postgraduate students in our domestic public universities will not last long. The travel expenses are second-class trains and sleeper berths, not even air tickets."

Although Xu Chenyang is no longer a graduate student, as a former professor at Peking University, it is natural for him to reimburse for these things. However, as a student in China, he is well aware of the hardships of domestic graduate students.

Sometimes I have a meeting from Beijing to Shenzhen, but because I can't reimburse my air tickets, I have to take the high-speed train for eight or nine hours.

Don't underestimate graduate students. Most talented people will stand out from the graduate stage. You have free time and don't have to teach, and you don't have to write fund applications and other trivial matters. You can concentrate on reading books and finding topics to solve. It is said to be the stage with the highest creativity. Not an exaggeration.

However, the treatment for graduate students in China is only good at a few schools such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National University of Science and Technology.

“Not to mention Peking University’s seniority rankings, there are too many problems in Peking University’s logistics and administration.”

Seeing that scene during the meeting, Xu Chenyang took a deep breath. \b

"It must have been in 2013, not long after I returned to Peking University. At an occasion at the school, I heard a school leader in administrative affairs say to several postdoctoral fellows in the school with great disdain: You guys This guy is a postdoc who can't make it in the United States..."

Tian Rou was silent when she heard these words.

He knew all the situations Xu Chenyang mentioned, and this kind of thing would exist no matter which school he went to.

Tian Rou wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but she stopped talking. Guanghua could indeed reduce such problems.

Compared with public universities, private universities have much more flexible systems. It is difficult for public universities to expel someone just because they want to be admitted.

"Beijing University also has..."

Xu Chenyang continued to describe the facts one by one. Just like Ahri, a well-known domestic company, no one dared to imagine that Ahri’s ice-breaking culture was so bad.

Basically, every time Xu Chenyang said something, Tian Rou's face would darken.

Finally it turned into a sigh.

He was relieved.

But he still wanted to ask.

"Chen Yang, if you are willing to return to Peking University, we can work together to reform, let go of the old and welcome the new."

However, what was waiting was Xu Chenyang's resolute voice.

"Teacher, I'm sorry. Although Peking University is very good, it is not suitable for concentrating on academic research."

"Guanghua University is the final pure land!"

…

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chenyang's face looked a little melancholy, or inexplicably sad.

Peking University is his alma mater, and he doesn't want to return to his alma mater to teach.

But his reason told him that only Guanghua University was the most suitable place for him, and it was also the only place in China where mathematics knowledge could take root.

Not to mention there was Lu Zhou waiting for him there.

Chen Hao had a sentence that touched him very much.

There is no shortage of Chinese for the Fields Medal, but China needs a Fields Medal!

He has missed time, but Lu Zhou is still young and has great plasticity and growth potential.

Thinking of Lu Zhou, Xu Chenyang thought of Guanghua University.

The resignation procedures were already going through, but before returning to China, he still wanted to give it one more try.

Thinking of this, Xu Chenyang wiped away the tired look on his face and cheered up again.

Today, he has to lobby two friends.

It can also be said that he is a junior.

…

"Lao Xu, I'm sorry, I have no plans to return to China."

"I have no plans to return to China. My wife and children are all settled in the United States, and the domestic scientific research environment is indeed not good."

The two people speaking were named Yun Zhiwei and Zhang Wei.

There are four great geniuses in mathematics at Peking University, namely Yun Zhiwei, Zhang Wei, Xu Chenyang and Zhu Xinwen.

But now, as China's most outstanding generation of young mathematicians, these four are all in the United States.

Zhu Xinwen is a professor at Caltech;

Yun Zhiwei was previously a professor at Yale University;

Zhang Wei was previously a professor at Princeton University.

What’s interesting is that in 2018, MIT vigorously recruited three young 45-minute speakers from China in the field of algebraic geometry, namely Xu Chenyang, Yun Zhiwei and Zhang Wei.

The main reason is the unfortunate death of two Fields Medalists, and the fact that the mathematics department of MIT is very aging. There are still many old professors still teaching in the classroom.

Together with the previous Deng Xia, Huang Xu and several other Chinese mathematicians, they seem to occupy half of the mathematics department of MIT.

Listening to the conversation between the two, even though Xu Chenyang was prepared, he was still a little disappointed.

The level of Yun Zhiwei and Zhang Wei is similar to him, but there is a slight gap.

If these two people can be persuaded to come to Guanghua, then Guanghua's mathematics department will definitely have an all-star lineup!
