Looking at the weeping teacher, Lu Dong felt tears welling up in his eyes.
After so many years of hard work, they finally saw the results.
“I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you.” Tian Hai wiped away the tears on his face. “I really didn’t expect to see a miracle happen in front of my eyes at my age. I’m so touched.”
Lu Dong nodded and was about to speak when Tian Hai interrupted him.
“I want to visit this student. Let’s set off for Haicheng University tonight. I’ll help this student get a degree from Beijing University immediately,” said Tian Hai. It might take a long time for her to be recognized internationally, but she should be able to get a master’s degree from Beijing University directly.
Tian Hai shook his head. “No, with such results, it’s possible to get a Ph.D.”
Every year, Beijing University would make an exception to admit some people who had made significant academic achievements. If Guo Miao’s discovery was at Beijing University, she could directly obtain a Ph.D. supervisor’s degree and stay in school to teach.
“But this student is a little special. She doesn’t have an undergraduate diploma,” Lu Dong said.
He knew that if the professor knew that Guo Miao was a high school student, he would be even more excited.
“No undergraduate degree? Could she be a junior college student or something?” Tian Hai frowned.
In the past few years, some students who had done well in junior college would also go to Haicheng University for an exchange. Could it be that she was a junior college student who was proficient in mathematics?
“No, you probably can’t imagine that the person who wrote this document would be Chang Yuan’s student.” Lu Dong’s words stunned Tian Hai.
He had a deep impression of Chang Yuan. Chang Yuan’s understanding of mathematics was extraordinary. He thought that Chang Yuan would stay in the research lab, but for some unknown reason, he left without saying goodbye and returned to Haicheng.
Tian Hai had always felt that it was a pity. If Chang Yuan were still around, their team would definitely be able to obtain better academic results.
However, Chang Yuan seemed to have returned to Haicheng to become a high school teacher.
In an instant, Tian Hai felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
“If I remember correctly, Chang Yuan is a high school math teacher, right?” Tian Hai looked at Lu Dong in shock. “Is this person a high school student?”
Under Tian Hai’s incredulous gaze, Lu Dong nodded.
He told Tian Hai in detail how he had mistakenly sent Kratz’s conjecture to Guo Miao and how she had proven the problem.
Tian Hai was silent for a moment, then he laughed out loud. “It’s true that there are talents in every generation. I didn’t expect that your mistake would help us discover a genius. I also didn’t expect that the problem that my student and I have been trying to solve for so many years would be solved by my student’s student!”
When Tian Hai said this, his body trembled slightly.
Lu Dong quickly held onto the excited Tian Hai. “Sir, don’t be so agitated. I’ll call and book a plane ticket now. We’ll go to Haicheng to meet this big shot later.”
At Haicheng High School’s morning homeroom session, Chang Yuan was sitting on the podium, watching the students memorize.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared at the door. Chang Yuan almost thought that he had seen it wrongly.
The white-haired old man held a walking stick. Although he looked to be in his seventies, his facial features were still the same as decades ago. He was in high spirits.
The memories of striving hard in the capital suddenly surged into his mind, and Chang Yuan felt his eyes sting.
The old man stopped at the door and waved at Chang Yuan.
Chang Yuan gestured for the students to continue memorizing as he walked out of the classroom.
“Long time no see, Professor Tian.” Chang Yuan took a deep breath.
“Long time no see, Chang Yuan. I didn’t expect that we would be able to meet again,” Tian Hai said.
Chang Yuan felt a little guilty towards Professor Tian Hai. Back then, Tian Hai had intended to groom him as his successor. If it wasn’t for his sudden departure, he would probably be a professor at Beijing University now.
“You’re here to look for Guo Miao, right?” Chang Yuan said.
He had been waiting for Lu Dong’s results for the past few days. The moment he saw Tian Hai, he knew that Guo Miao was about to create an academic miracle.
Tian Hai nodded. “To publish an international mathematics journal, you still need a professor as a referee. I’m willing to be the referee.”
The International Mathematics Journal was the most authoritative mathematics journal in the world. Many advanced results were first published there.
Tian Hai hoped that Guo Miao could submit her research results to this journal..
