125: Public opinion ferments!

Hearing Li Xu’s words, President Tian, who had been engrossed in his work, suddenly looked up.

“Come, let me see it!”

President Tian was a little impatient.

During this time, President Tian had been looking forward to seeing Guo Hao’s thesis. It wasn't that he hadn't asked Professor Huang for it, but Professor Huang hadn't kept a copy either, and he couldn't just directly ask Guo Hao for it.

So he could only wait for the publication of Mathematical Inventions.

Until today.

President Tian quickly turned to the page where Guo Hao’s thesis was located.

He quickly scanned Guo Hao’s personal introduction.

Then the title.

Looking at the content, President Tian’s expression gradually turned serious. Although he was a political work leader, as the head of the Yanda Mathematics Institute, Dean Tian himself was also a very good mathematician.

His level was very good worldwide.

After a quick glance, President Tian understood why this thesis could be published in Mathematical Inventions.

After spending more than half an hour, President Tian finished reading the thesis.

“A very good thesis.”

President Tian’s eyes showed a look of admiration.

“Very good?”

Li Xu looked curiously at President Tian.

“Hmm,” President Tian nodded, saying with some emotion.

“In terms of mathematical depth, it’s still somewhat lacking, but the approach is very sound, or rather, very new. The perspective is clear; it’s an algorithm for building material models, very innovative. This is truly the idea of a young person.”

President Tian sighed with emotion.

“This Guo Hao is indeed a talent, extremely gifted. He just entered university…”

“Then, President, should we poach him? Let him directly be recommended for postgraduate study under an Academician?”

Li Xu said to President Tian.

“If only he was willing to come.”

President Tian looked at Li Xu with a wry smile.

“I personally tried to recruit him at Yan Aviation, but he didn’t agree. He wants to study Materials Science!”

As he spoke, President Tian looked a little helpless.

“How about this?”

At this moment, Li Xu had an idea, and his eyes lit up.

He looked at President Tian and said,

“What?”

President Tian, who was troubled, asked Li Xu curiously.

Li Xu smiled and said to President Tian,

“Young people nowadays care about appearances. How about this, we simply make a big deal out of this. A freshman publishing an SCI Q1 paper, this kind of thing is news in itself.

We can promote him as a mathematical genius, and then during a TV interview, you can subtly mention the disadvantages of Yan Aviation’s mathematics department and invite Guo Hao to directly come to Peking University for postgraduate studies!

When a young person is put on a pedestal, they might not be able to back down and just agree!”

Li Xu smiled and said to President Tian.

“Will your idea work?!”

President Tian was still a little hesitant.

Li Xu smiled and continued,

“Which school is better, Peking University or Yan Aviation, Student Guo Hao’s family and friends will surely know. As long as this matter gets big, they will also help us persuade him.”

“Then let’s try it?”

President Tian pondered for a moment. He didn't have any better ideas at the moment.

After all, he had already been rejected once in private. Inviting him again would likely result in another rejection. It was impossible to directly invite him; there was no chance of success.

Going through Yan Aviation’s official channels was even more impossible.

Yan Aviation would only respect Guo Hao’s own choice.

Influencing Guo Hao’s external friends and family, and having them in turn influence Guo Hao, might be a way.

“I’ll call the editor-in-chief of the Yanjing Daily.”

After pondering for a while, President Tian said to Li Xu.

Li Xu smiled and nodded.

At this moment, President Tian picked up the landline on the desk and dialed a number.

Soon, the call connected.

“Old Tian, how come you have time to call me!”

The hearty laughter of Editor-in-Chief Wang of the Yanjing Daily came from the other end of the line.

They were friends.

Of course, President Tian’s rank was also quite a bit higher than Editor-in-Chief Wang’s.

“It’s just that there’s some news, and I thought of you. This is very good news! How about it? Want to hear?”

President Tian smiled slightly and said to Editor-in-Chief Wang.

“Oh? President Tian also thinks it’s big news, then I must listen carefully!”

Editor-in-Chief Wang said with some surprise.

“I know a student, a freshman in Materials Engineering at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who just published a paper in Mathematical Inventions.”

Upon hearing President Tian’s words, Editor-in-Chief Wang was somewhat astonished.

“SCI Q1? Pure mathematics paper?”

“Yes! That’s right, this paper is right next to me, I just finished reading it!”

“That’s big news!”

Editor-in-Chief Wang’s tone was slightly excited.

“Then, I’ve decided to offer Student Guo Hao a recommendation slot, allowing him to be directly recommended for postgraduate study in the Yanjing University Mathematics Department!”

President Tian smiled slightly.

“Good, good, good, I’ll arrange for the editorial team to come find you right away!”

Without any hesitation, Editor-in-Chief Wang immediately said to President Tian.

Soon, editors from Yanjing Daily quickly arrived at Yanjing University and interviewed President Tian.

President Tian said that he had read Guo Hao’s thesis and praised it highly, then publicly invited Guo Hao through television!

This news was broadcast during the midday slot on Yanjing Satellite TV.

It quickly caused an uproar both online and offline.

The Internet was the fastest way to spread information.

Many media outlets reposted the news immediately, and the news soared in popularity on Weibo!

It quickly entered the top three on Weibo and was still continuously pushing towards the number one trending topic.

#Peking University President Actually Invited Him!#

#Freshman Actually Published a Top-Tier Mathematics Paper!#

#What Does SCI Q1 Mean?#

...

Various search terms kept rising on the trending topics list.

“Holy crap! Awesome!”

“What the hell, is it real or fake? Freshman? SCI Q1? Another god-making movement?? Why do I feel a little scared?”

“It does seem a bit strange. A freshman who just entered university not long ago actually published an SCI Q1 paper in the field of pure mathematics. No matter how you think about it, it feels a bit odd!”

“So, brothers, what does SCI Q1 mean? Can someone knowledgeable explain it?!”

“SCI divisions are based on a journal’s impact factor and its ranking within its field. Generally speaking, Q1 journals have higher impact factors, indicating that the journal has stronger authority in its field. Q1 journals are usually among the top five percent in their respective fields.

It can be said that being able to publish a paper in a Q1 journal means he has achieved relatively authoritative accomplishments in that field!”

“Holy crap? Awesome!”

“That explanation is very clear! Awesome! So, this Guo Hao, who just entered university, has already become an authoritative great god in the field of mathematics?? That amazing? This must be a god-making!”

“I also think it’s a bit fake! After all, with the review process of Mathematical Inventions, it often takes months to calculate, plus revisions and such, publishing a paper could easily take half a year. But Guo Hao is a freshman, he probably hasn’t even been in university for half a year, right?

How did he publish the paper?”
