I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

After writing "History of Number Theory" for a few days, Shen Qi received a list and related materials from the department.

There were five names on the list, and Shen Qi reviewed their application materials one by one according to their names.

The owners of the five names are mathematics undergraduates who will become graduate students in Princeton's mathematics department next January.

The department asked Shen Qi to choose at least one and at most two of the five.

These 1~2 people will become the first batch of graduate students of Professor Shen Qi.

Take the graduate students first and practice your hands.

Shen Qi first locked the target quota to 2.

The third condition for promotion to Mathematics Level 14 is that Shen Qi’s students are required to complete the mathematics project independently and publish at least one paper in the four major international mathematics journals.

The reason is very simple, the more students Shen Qi has, the better, and the taller one among the short ones, there will always be a student with excellent academic level and strong independent thinking ability.

Shen Qi reviewed the information of the first student. The photo showed the face of an Asian male. His surname was written in English as Kim, and his nationality was Korean. He studied in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton.

"This Korean student surnamed Kim came to the Department of Mathematics of Pudong University to study abroad after finishing high school. During his undergraduate period, his grades were almost all A, and he published two SCI papers... I have to admit that the undergraduate education in Wang Zitun is too good. The Department of Mathematics here The academic level of undergraduates is equivalent to the graduate students of the other seven schools in the Ivy League."

After Shen Qi quickly read the two SCI papers written by Korean students surnamed Kim, he felt that Princeton is a melting pot, where he has undergone four years of transformation.

"Korean students put it aside and look at other people's information."

Shen Qi continued to review the files of the remaining four people.

The second place is also an undergraduate student from Wang Zitun, a native of the United States, with excellent grades in various mathematics courses, and published a high-quality paper during his undergraduate period.

Regardless of their major, undergraduates at Princeton have to participate in projects and write papers from their junior year.

Puda attaches great importance to undergraduates, who can access high-end experimental equipment that can only be accessed at the postgraduate stage of other universities.

The third place is a student from another school, French, who studied in the Department of Mathematics of MIT.

The fourth place is an international student, Polish, who studied at a Polish university as an undergraduate.

"The fifth place is also an international student, Chinese... oh, Chinese!" Shen Qi's eyes lit up, and he was very pleased. There are successors in Chinese mathematics, and the Chinese students who can be admitted to the graduate department of the Mathematics Department of Pudong University must be Chinese students. There are dragons and phoenixes among people.

The application materials were all in English, and Shen Qi could only guess and pronounce the Chinese student's name: "Yu-Lei, torpedo?"

"Brother Yulei is 21 years old this year. He is an undergraduate student in the Department of Mathematics of Mizuki University. Yes, Mizuki finally felt proud once."

"I participated in the IMO on behalf of the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad team and won the team gold medal and individual gold medal."

"It's pretty good, Brother Torpedo, your experience is very similar to mine."

Shen Qi is Chinese, and he will return to the motherland in the future to contribute to the country.

During the teaching period at Pudong University, borrowing the advantage platform of Princeton, I can train every Chinese mathematician to count as one.

Shen Qi became interested in talents, and he had already decided that Yu Lei from Shuimu University would be one of his first batch of graduate students.

"Wait..." Shen Qi found an unusual detail in the torpedo information.

According to data, Torpedo participated in the IMO five years ago, and the IMO was held in London.

"Five years ago, London... was the IMO where Zhou Yu'an and I represented the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad team!"

Shen Qi was too surprised, this torpedo boy is actually our teammate?

"Torpedo? Yu Lei?" Shen Qi suddenly realized, could the torpedo be Yu Lei?

"Looking at the photos, it doesn't look like Yu Lei at all." Shen Qi repeatedly studied the photos on Yu-Lei's profile.

Yu Lei was one year younger than Shen Qi and Zhou Yu'an. The three of them were selected for the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad team five years ago, representing China to win the team gold medal, and all three of them won individual gold medals.

After that, Shen Qi and Zhou Yu'an were escorted to Yanda University, and Yu Lei was escorted to Shuimu University.

Until here, Shen Qi's memory is still clear.

Yu Lei's young lady, with small eyes and round face, is very shy and dare not speak when she sees strangers.

In the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad training team five years ago, Director Liu questioned Yu Lei: "Yu Lei, I surrounded (ε, ζ) in a circle, and then removed it from the scoring area, so when the circle shrinks to ( ε, ζ), from the generalized Green's theorem?"

Yu Lei was terrified, he trembled for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why.

Recalling the past, Shen Qi smiled knowingly. He was 17 years old and Yu Lei was 16 years old at the time.

The memory stays in Shen Qi's sophomore year in high school.

Later, Shen Qi went to university a year earlier than Yu Lei. Shen Qi stayed at Yanda for two years, and then came to the United States to study.

Five years passed in a flash, and Shen Qi and Yu Lei never saw each other again.

Five years to carve a boy into a youth.

People, after all, will change, whether it is the heart or the appearance.

only……

This boy Yu Lei has changed too much!

Shen Qi couldn't believe that the 21-year-old Chinese youth in the photo in front of him was Yu Lei.

The Chinese young man in the photo has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a dignified appearance, and is very handsome. He is a handsome man with a prosperous beauty.

"Zhou Yu'an, come to my office." Shen Qi called Zhou Yu'an.

Zhou Yu'an arrived at Shen Qi's office half an hour later, with a pile of documents in his hands, looking very busy.

"Old Zhou, you're quite busy." Shen Qi poured Zhou Yu'an a cup of coffee.

"Talk about something quickly." Zhou Yu'an has entered a period of rapid academic advancement. He has recently followed Professor Figali to do big things, and he has a sense of accomplishment.

Shen Qi asked: "Do you still remember Yu Lei, the young lady who was selected for the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad team with us?"

Zhou Yu'an immediately replied: "Of course I remember. In the IMO in London, Yu Lei scored 30 points, I scored 32 points, and you were the worst, 42+1 points. After so many years, it doesn't matter how many points you got in the IMO back then. , anyway, the three of us are all gold medals."

Shen Qi handed Yu Lei's information to Zhou Yu'an: "Take a look, is the person in the photo Yu Lei?"

Zhou Yu'an glanced at it and immediately stated: "No, absolutely not! Yu Lei can't be so handsome! Back then, there were more than 20 people in our Mathematical Olympiad training team, and the ugliest one was Yu Lei."

"But the information shows that he is indeed Yu Lei. He participated in the London IMO with us and won the gold medal, and then recommended to the Department of Water and Wood Mathematics. There is no such coincidence in the world. There are only six official members of our Mathematical Olympiad team." Shen Qi speaks with data.

With a critical eye, Zhou Yu'an repeatedly reviewed Yu Lei's photos and information, and finally came to a conclusion: "If he is Yu Lei, then the photos are P, or plastic surgery was performed."

Shen Qi asked: "I left Yanda very early, you stayed in China for two more years, did you meet Yu Lei when you were in college?"

Zhou Yu'an shook his head: "You also know that Yanda University and Shuimu are just across the street, but the two families don't often walk around. After our Mathematical Olympiad team disbanded, I never saw Yu Lei again."

"It doesn't matter so much, I'll choose him as my graduate student." Shen Qi collected Yu-Lei's information like a treasure.

"Huh?" Zhou Yu'an understood what was going on, and he said, "We are teammates of the Mathematical Olympiad team. We have won honor for the motherland together and won the IMO team gold medal together. Shen Qi, now you are a professor, but Yu Lei Coming to be your student, will this cause psychological discomfort to Lei? Have you consulted Lei himself for his thoughts?"
