I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Professor Cui and Chairman Zhu recommended Shen Qi as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physics. Shen Qi could not treat the two old men badly. He invited the two Nobel Prize winners to have a meal to show his heart.

Eating is secondary, the emphasis is on communication.

Cui and Zhu are quite old, but compared to the other four Chinese Nobel Prize winners in physics, they are young. They are in good health, can eat and drink, can chew steak, and can Have some red wine.

The youngest of the other four Nobel Prize winners is also close to 90 years old. They spend their days at home and are unable to show up.

Shen Qi won the Fields Medal in his twenties, and will hit the Nobel Prize next year. The two old men praised Shen Qi. The Chinese physics community needs a successor to carry the banner of the new era. They think Shen Qi is the most suitable candidates.

Mr. Cui smoked. He had been smoking all his life and couldn't quit. He lit a cigarette and said, "I was born in the countryside and worked in the fields since I was a child, but my academic performance has not been delayed. I have done farm work, and I have strong hands-on ability. I like to do physics experiments, and I will do them all my life. Experiments are more addictive than smoking."

"Mr. Cui is also a top student, amazing." Shen Qi and Professor Cui actually had a bit of a relationship. When he was a mathematics professor at Princeton, Professor Cui was a professor at the Department of Physics of Pudong University.

Chairman Zhu, who once held an important position in the U.S. energy sector, was born in the United States. His family is all scholars. His father and aunt are chemists, his mother is an economist, his elder brother is a medical scientist, and his younger brother is a political and legal scientist.

Schultz said that his family lacked a mathematician, so he studied mathematics and won the Fields Medal.

Chairman Zhu's situation is similar to Schultz's. His family lacked a physicist, so he studied physics and won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Shen Qi said: "Chairman Zhu, I have a little relationship with you. When I was in high school, I did a physics competition problem. The problem was adapted from your laser cooling experiment. It required me to calculate a physical parameter. Our competition team, I did it by myself, it was hard enough."

Chairman Zhu said with a smile: "It must be difficult. It was this experiment that won me the Nobel Prize. One year's IPhO finale was about this experiment."

Shen Qi raised his red wine glass: "I have a predestined relationship with the two seniors. I'm going to get married soon. If the two seniors are in China when I get married, I hope they will be honored to attend my wedding."

"Good thing."

"Congratulations."

The two old men raised their glasses to congratulate Shen Qi, wishing Shen Qi a smooth marriage and a beautiful home.

After having dinner with the two Nobel laureates, Shen Qi returned home in the elevator building.

Ouye was very diligent today. She cleaned the house, made some soup, and cooked some side dishes.

The soup is okay, the dishes are average, but this is Ouye's wish after all.

Shen Qi poured two ounces of white wine, and fried sweet potato leaves with a chopstick: "What day is it today, Mrs. Shen cooks in person?"

"I haven't become your wife yet." Ouye filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Shen Qi: "You really don't know?"

Shen Qi: "Know what?"

"You have entered the big list, and you have been added to the list of academicians." Ouye handed the mobile phone to Shen Qi, and asked Shen Qi to watch the news.

According to mobile phone news, the Academy of Sciences announced today that the communication review work for the co-opted academicians of the Academy of Sciences has ended.

150 people entered the preliminary candidate list, the youngest was Shen Qi, 26 years old, and the oldest was a medical professor, 86 years old.

There is a full 60 years difference between the youngest candidate and the oldest, one Jiazi, one era.

Shen Qi was nominated as an academician candidate of the Department of Mathematical Physics of the Academy of Sciences. After the correspondence review work, all academicians of the department will be voted for and reviewed at the meeting.

Correspondence review is the first selection, all academicians of the department vote for the second selection, and conference review is the third selection.

The third choice is to raise your hands and clap your hands. It's a formality, and the most important thing is the second choice.

It is said that after the announcement of the results of the first election, intensive preparations for the second election have begun, and the Academy of Sciences will announce the results of the second election soon.

"22 people were elected to the list of academicians of the Department of Mathematical Physics. Usually, more than half of the candidates were unsuccessful, and only one-third of them were finally selected as academicians. That is to say, I won one-third of all the academicians of the Department of Mathematical Physics. Only two or more votes can be elected as an academician." Shen Qi quickly calculated the probability of winning the bid.

"As the youngest, you have been selected into the list of 150 people, which is already very remarkable." Ouye still admired Shen Qi, and she gave Shen Qi a piece of potato chips as a sign of encouragement.

"The selection of academicians should be fair and just. There won't be any shady things, right?" Shen Qi knew that there were 153 academicians in the Department of Mathematical Physics, that is, 153 valid votes. Among them, nearly 20 academicians knew Shen Qi very well, and about 30 of them The academician had dealt with Shen Qi before.

Shen Qi is not familiar with the remaining 100 academicians in the fields of mathematics and physics, and he doesn't even have their contact information.

"I need to get more than 100 votes to be safe." Shen Qi called Academician Pan and turned off the phone.

Shen Qi called Academician Wang, the Dean of the School of Mathematics of Yanda University, but the number you called could not be connected temporarily.

"This... the academicians are all locked up to vote, and their mobile phones were confiscated?" Shen Qi was inexplicably worried. He longed to become an academician, but if he couldn't be rated as an academician, he would be too embarrassed to get married.

Ouye was more sober: "I can't even get in touch with you. Academician Pan and Dean Wang are very familiar with you. This shows that the selection of academicians is fair."

The next day, when Shen Qi went to work at Yanda University, he found that all the four academicians of the Academy of Sciences were missing.

Several academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences could not be contacted either.

This situation lasted for three days, and Shen Qi was out of his mind for three days.

Although the country has regulations, non-academic factors are resolutely eliminated in the process of co-opting academicians, and officials above the division level are not allowed to become candidates. All selections are based on academic achievements, contributions to the country, disciplines, and future impact, but Shen Qi is still worried. Ah, what if it's not selected?

On the fourth day, Shen Qi received a call.

"Hello, Professor Shen Qi?" The voice on the phone was a calm male voice.

"็ Hello Who are you?"

"I am Bai Jinyuan, the executive chairman of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences. I am here to inform Professor Shen verbally that I will go to the No. 1 conference hall of the Academy of Sciences at 9:00 tomorrow morning to participate in the announcement meeting of the co-opted academicians. Please be on time. The written notification will be within one to two hours. After that, the president of Yanda University will personally submit it to you, and that's it, see you tomorrow." The leader of the Academy of Sciences was very good, and hung up the phone after the notification.

Of course he is awesome, Shen Qi knows that another identity of Chairman Bai is Dean Bai, the dean of the Academy of Sciences.

"Principal Bai personally called, it seems there is something going on." Shen Qi returned home, embraced his fiancée who was taking a nap, and kissed her.
