I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"Yes, I'm remarried to Peter," said Mary.

Peter Schultz won the Fields Medal at the last World Congress of Mathematicians. He received the highest honor in mathematics and also ushered in a change of heart from his ex-wife.

Schulz, who has never won the Philippine Award, his wife ran away, and a group of fellow Germans besieged him. The German mathematics genius was reduced to a villain.

And Schulz, who won the Fields Medal, is now in high spirits. His wife came back, and the fellow Germans forgave him one after another.

It seems that career is indeed the strongest foundation for a man. A man with a brilliant career is omnipotent and exudes an irresistible attraction all over his body.

Shen Qi said to Mary: "I didn't expect that we would meet again, but we would be separated. No matter what, I wish you happiness."

"Thank you for your blessing, Qi." Mary smiled sweetly. A woman who has remarried is a happy woman.

After saying goodbye to Mary, everyone came to the coffee shop on the third floor.

"Coffee time in the Mathematics Department of Pudong University, good memories." Shen Qi was touched by the scene. He drank coffee here for five years. From an international student to a famous mathematician, he chatted and laughed happily with all the big names, and solved the problems of the century.

It's just that the big cows who drank coffee with Shen Qi back then went their separate ways, and the golden generation of the Mathematics Department of Universities dispersed like this. Shen Qi still felt a little inexplicably sad.

The seat by the window where Director Fefferman used to sit is now owned by Director Knox.

Professor Faltings and Professor Müller, two old German friends, often argue endlessly at the round table under the blackboard.

The round table was still the same one, and the people who discussed the mathematics problems were replaced by Professor Carter and his doctoral students.

Just like the so-called iron-clad camp and flowing soldiers, the sign of the Department of Mathematics of Puda is erected here, and heroes from all walks of life will appear on the stage after you sing.

The arrival of Shen Qi made the atmosphere of the coffee shop more lively.

"Hey, Qi, let's have a special latte, which is a specialty of the Department of Mathematics." The bearded Professor Carter said loudly.

"Isn't Irish coffee a specialty of the Department of Mathematics?" Shen Qi took the latte and said.

"We used to like to drink Irish coffee, but now our hobby is latte." Professor Carter shrugged and said, after finishing the work, he greeted Zhou Yu'an warmly: "Zhou, I hope we can have a good time."

Zhou Yu'an nodded and said, "Of course."

The academic exchange team led by Shen Qi has members from mathematics, physics, chemistry and other majors.

During this visit to the United States, members of the delegation will conduct a series of academic discussions with their American counterparts according to their majors.

Zhou Yu'an will have an in-depth exchange with Professor Carter in the field of partial differential equations and differential geometry. This is something agreed in advance.

Li Zhenqiang also came with a task. He will exchange views with American colleagues in the field of algebraic geometry.

Director Knox, with a mustache, clapped his hands and said, "Let us welcome Qi, Zhou, and Li again. I believe it will be a joyful party."

Shen Qi, Zhou Yu'an, and Li Zhenqiang raised their coffee cups to express their gratitude to Director Knox for his warm welcome.

"Actually, I have to make an announcement." Director Knox continued, "I come from the gathering place of science and engineering nerds. I have been crazy with a group of mad scientists for five years. Next, it's time to enjoy life. I want to know Some beautiful girls, yes, I'm ready to go, tomorrow."

"Walter?"

"So suddenly?"

Many people present showed surprise expressions, including Shen Qi.

Li Zhenqiang was in a daze. He understood Director Knox's words, but he didn't understand the real meaning.

"Science and technology nerd is the nickname of Washington state, mad scientist and beautiful girl refer to New Jersey and Arizona respectively." Zhou Yu'an whispered in Li Zhenqiang's ear. He has stayed in the United States for several years and knows some slang words in the United States.

"Oh." Li Zhenqiang seemed to understand a little bit.

Director Knox used to work and live in Washington State, and later moved to Princeton University in New Jersey, where he worked for five years and became the chair of the Department of Mathematics.

Now, Director Knox wants to go to Arizona, where beautiful girls gather, to enjoy life happily.

Director Knox went to Arizona because he was eager for an affair, or...Li Zhenqiang was thinking about it, and Director Knox said: "The school has approved my resignation letter, and my next position is...the president of the University of Arizona. "

So it turned out that Director Knox had resigned, and he was going to become the president of the University of Arizona, which is full of beautiful girls and is easy to get picked up.

The level of academic research at the University of Arizona is definitely not as good as that of Princeton University, but everyone has their own ambitions. Director Knox is about to become the president. This is considered a promotion.

Everyone stood up one after another, walked up to Director Knox, hugged him, and sent their best wishes.

In fact, Shen Qi and Director Knox had nothing to do with each other. It was only one month after he returned to China that Director Knox jumped ship and came to Princeton.

"Director Knox, may every day of your stay in Arizona be a happy time." Shen Qi and Director Knox hugged goodbye and sent heartfelt blessings.

Shen Qi is an honorary professor of the Princeton Department of Mathematics. He bid farewell to Director Knox as a colleague.

Zhou Yu'an and Li Zhenqiang did not hold any positions in Princeton, they just watched without talking, drinking coffee and watching the fun.

Shen Qi was smiling on the surface, but he was puzzled in his heart.

In less than an hour, Shen Qi encountered two incidents of a similar nature. Director Mary and Director Knox both said goodbye as soon as they met. What is this, a collective resignation?

But in all fairness, whether it is the dean of the department or the principal, in the eyes of Americans, it is nothing more than a job.

For those young people who are on the rise in their careers, it is of course excellent to have a job at a prestigious academic institution.

For an experienced veteran driver like Director Knox, enjoying life is of course the most important thing.

It's normal for jobs to change, so you, Shen Qi, are allowed to return to China to develop marriage and have children, and director Knox is not allowed to go to Arizona to pursue a happy time?

"Director Knox, after you leave, who will be the new head of the mathematics department?" Professor Carter asked loudly.

"Guys, I have to say a few more words. After all, my position at Princeton will last until six o'clock this afternoon." Director Knox said.

Everyone quieted down and listened attentively.

"As for the new head of the mathematics department, the school has asked for my opinion. I hope that I can recommend some of the current professors or honorary professors and lectures in the mathematics department as candidates." Director Knox looked around for a week. Focus on Shen Qi: "I have a suitable candidate in my mind, Qi."

Shen Qi: "Huh?"
