230: World Congress of Mathematicians

"There is something indeed.

If it's convenient for you, come to my office now, Dean Tian Gang from Peking University is also here."

"Okay."

Hearing President Huai's words, Guo Hao probably guessed what it was about.

He glanced at the paper that was only half-written.

Guo Hao sighed slightly and put the paper away.

He left the room.

Soon, he arrived at President Huai's office.

He knocked on the office door.

"You're here!"

Sitting on the sofa were only Dean Tian Gang and President Huai.

Seeing Guo Hao, the two immediately stood up, both smiling, and called out to Guo Hao.

"President Huai, Dean Tian."

Guo Hao smiled.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone sat down on the sofa.

"Two Leaders, is there something you needed me for today?"

Without waiting for President Huai and Dean Tian to speak, Guo Hao spoke first, asking the two Leaders next to him.

Hearing Guo Hao's words, President Huai and Dean Tian exchanged glances.

At this moment, President Huai smiled and looked at Guo Hao, saying.

"Actually, it's nothing much.

It's mainly regarding the enormous academic achievements you've made this time.

Dean Tian from Peking University, some Leaders from our school, and I have roughly discussed a reward method.

Yan Aviation will award you a 1 million special scholarship, and Peking University will also award you a 1 million special scholarship, to reward the significant achievements you have made in the academic field."

Hearing President Huai's words, Guo Hao was slightly surprised.

He looked at President Huai and Dean Tian next to him.

"Two million in scholarships?

Isn't that a bit too much?"

Guo Hao couldn't help but ask the two people before him.

"Hahahaha!"

Dean Tian and President Huai immediately burst into laughter.

"Not much!

Not at all.

As a sophomore student, you solved a world-renowned conjecture, and you even got a world-class journal like Mathematics Annals to publish a special issue just for you.

This kind of achievement is among the very best on a global scale.

One million in scholarship is not excessive.

And you are now considered both a student of Peking University and a student of Yan Aviation, so the reward is naturally double."

Dean Tian said with a smile, looking at Guo Hao.

Honestly, Dean Tian Gang also felt a bit dazed.

He had originally thought that although Guo Hao was a top genius, his talent in Mathematics was undoubtedly unquestionable.

However, Guo Hao was not currently putting his full focus solely on Mathematics.

His focus was still on Materials Science.

He spent the entire summer vacation doing experiments with Academician Jiang Lei.

Dean Tian Gang didn't doubt how important the experiments Academician Jiang Lei was doing were, but Dean Tian Gang felt that Guo Hao was wasting his time.

With his talent, he should be fully dedicated to studying Mathematics.

This would increase the probability of Guo Hao achieving results.

Dean Tian Gang was somewhat disappointed with Guo Hao's choice, but he couldn't really say anything.

After all, this was Guo Hao's private matter.

He never expected that Guo Hao would give him such a huge surprise.

While doing research with Academician Jiang Lei, he actually solved a world-class conjecture, the Warings Problem.

When Dean Tian Gang received this news, he sat stunned in his seat for a long time before coming back to his senses.

He felt a bit like he was doubting life itself.

Dean Tian Gang was also an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a world-renowned mathematician, and naturally, he had achieved many results.

But he truly hadn't expected there to be such a person.

While doing Materials Science, in just a few months, he also casually solved a world-class conjecture?

How intelligent must that be?

Dean Tian Gang was even starting to feel a little insecure about his own worldview.

"Alright then, thank you to the two Leaders."

Guo Hao smiled.

"Is there anything else, two Leaders?"

"It's like this."

At this point, President Huai hesitated slightly, looking at Guo Hao before him and saying.

"Recently, Student Guo Hao, your popularity is too high.

CCTV and many newspapers have all applied to the school, wanting to interview you.

President Tian and I feel that...

Perhaps we can take this opportunity to present the scholarship to you in front of the entire nation, showcasing our emphasis on academics to the people nationwide.

What do you think?

If you don't want to go, that's fine too, I can decline the interviews."

"Okay."

Guo Hao pondered for a moment, then directly nodded.

Interviews like this are likely unavoidable.

With so many news outlets reporting in a frenzy, how could it be without a signal from above?

Perhaps those above also want to set him up as an academic model, an academic example.

Accepting interviews should also be something the higher-ups want to see.

It is estimated that certain departments above have probably communicated this point with President Huai.

Otherwise, with President Huai's personality, he would definitely not make such a specific phone call to him.

"That's great!"

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Dean Tian and President Huai's faces clearly showed a hint of excitement.

Just as expected.

Guo Hao was thoughtful.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first.

If the interview time and location are confirmed, just call and let me know."

Guo Hao smiled and said to Dean Tian and President Huai next to him.

"Nothing else.

Then you go get busy!"

President Huai quickly said.

Saying that, Guo Hao stood up and left.

Watching Guo Hao's departing back, after the office door closed.

President Huai and Dean Tian exchanged glances.

"This child Guo Hao is truly too smart."

President Huai said with some emotion.

"I estimate he guessed it himself."

"Of course, this is a top genius who solved the Warings Problem in just a few months!

I don't even know how high his IQ is!"

Dean Tian's face was full of wry smiles.

"Seeing Student Guo Hao, I feel like I've lived most of my life in vain."

"You're exaggerating."

President Huai smiled.

"Let's call the station director now and discuss a time."

"Okay!"

...

After leaving President Huai's office.

Guo Hao received a phone call.

"Hello, my name is Morishige Bun, I am the Secretary-General of the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Are you Mr. Guo Hao?"

The person on the other end of the phone spoke with a strong Japanese-english accent, which made Guo Hao raise an eyebrow.

"I am.

Secretary-General Morishige Bun, is there something you need?"

"It's like this, we would like to invite you to give an hour-long lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians to be held in Seoul, South Korea next August, regarding your academic report on the Warings Problem.

I wonder if you have time?"

Morishige Bun spoke very politely, with the unique feeling of a Japanese person.

Guo Hao had no good feelings towards Japanese people in his heart.

The harm done by Japan to the people of Dragon Country was truly too great!

However, Guo Hao also knew very well that targeting such a Japanese person was meaningless.

"I have time."

"Okay, then I will arrange the lecture hall for you right away.

Thank you for your support!"

After speaking, Guo Hao hung up the phone.
