Chapter 843 Me and My Big Boss Mentor

On the other side, after ending the call with Yuan Xiangya, until late that night, Chang Haonan received congratulatory calls from a series of acquaintances such as Fang Zhen, Du Yishan, Yao Mengna, Xu Yang, Guo Lin, etc.

In the meantime, Ding Gaoheng was invited to his home for dinner.

He didn't even sleep for long.

Fortunately, he had had enough rest in the previous week. Thanks to the ability of "storing sleep time" that Chang Haonan gained after his rebirth, this night was not bad.

In fact, he wanted to rest for two more days, after all, he was going to be very busy in the second half of the year.

However, in the end, there was one thing that forced him to suspend his vacation plan——

Li Yabo’s graduation defense.

Chang Haonan uploaded the paper to arXiv on May 24, and another week and one day passed.

Now, graduation season has officially entered...

So, early the next morning, Chang Haonan finally appeared in the office of the computing center.

Thanks to his status in the military industry system and his exceptional security level, his specific daily schedule and travel methods will not be disclosed casually.

Not even repeating the same route for long periods of time.

However, when it comes to keeping things secret, as long as you don't just build a separate city in a deserted place like you did with two bombs and one satellite, you are destined to be unable to reach the limit.

Therefore, although Chang Haonan did not attract much attention when he came to the school, Tang Lintian appeared at the door of the office in a hurry before he could get his butt warm.

"Professor Chang, you are willing to come to school..."

Tang Lintian was holding a bulging briefcase in his hand. Before he entered the door, a voice came from outside:

"You don't know how many times people who can't contact you have called me in the past four or five days. Now I don't have to do anything else when I go to work every day..."

While talking, he pulled up a chair and sat across from Chang Haonan.

Although he was complaining, judging from the red expression on his face and the corners of his mouth that couldn't be lowered, he was actually enjoying it.

"There's nothing you can do about it, you're the principal."

Chang Haonan also replied jokingly:

"Even if they can contact me, apart from expressing congratulations, if there is anything else, in principle, they still have to go through...or at least inform the school."

When Perelman visited and returned to China at the speed of light before, causing some minor public opinion turmoil, Ding Gaoheng specifically told him that he would hold a meeting for schools under the Science and Technology Commission system to formulate a mechanism to deal with similar situations.

Generally speaking, when facing major public opinion, no matter whether it is good or bad, the school should take the initiative first.

After things become clear, the next step will be decided based on the personal wishes of the frontline scientific researchers——

This is why Tang Lintian rushed over as soon as he heard Chang Haonan arrived at school.

"Professor Chang, I have asked the office to list some interview applications from ordinary media, as well as invitations for academic exchanges that are not very important."

He took out a folder from his bag and put it in front of Chang Haonan:

"Take a look and see if there is anything you need to participate in. If not, I will reject them all in the name of the school."

The latter opened the folder and took a casual look.

Indeed, as Tang Lintian said, they are all dispensable activities.

However, the ridiculous thickness made him feel a little frightened.

If this all comes directly to his head, I'm afraid he won't even be able to work normally.

For a moment, Chang Haonan even felt a little admired by Tang Lintian in front of him.

"There's nothing you need to participate in, so let's just push it all..."

He closed the folder again.

Tang Lintian nodded casually, not even taking the folder back——

In fact, this result was what he expected.

But out of respect for the teaching staff, the school must not overstep the mark.

What comes next is the point.

"Besides these things that are easier to get rid of, there are two other things."

Tang Lintian said and put the briefcase next to him:

"One is that CCTV will conduct an exclusive interview with our school again."

"Of course, I say it's for our school, but it's actually for you. So, I still have to trouble you to show your face. It doesn't need to be long, just two or three minutes. It's mainly to introduce the concept of the Poincaré conjecture and solve this problem. meaning.”

"Of course that's no problem."

As long as it is within a reasonable range, Chang Haonan is still willing to cooperate in some publicity.

These days, the Chinese people really need something that can make them stand up.

After all, most people who eat melons are ordinary people.

What kind of feedback they give depends entirely on what kind of guidance they receive.

It’s hard to maintain a positive attitude when the news is all about depressing news all day long.

"Speaking of which... Principal Tang."

After a brief pause, before Tang Lintian could say the second thing, Chang Haonan suddenly changed the subject:

"The main body of TV programs is still the broad masses. Isn't the concept of Poincaré's conjecture a little abstract?"

"Hmm... abstract indeed."

Tang Lintian looked deeply convinced.

When Chang Haonan said before that he was solving the Poincaré conjecture, he also specifically checked the information on this matter.

It took a long time to figure it out.

Ordinary people with no mathematical foundation may find it even more difficult to understand.

"But this is the requirement of the propaganda department, we just need to do it."

Tang Lintian explained:

"Besides, most people don't really need to understand the Poincare conjecture, as long as they know that it is very difficult..."

"That's right."

Chang Haonan smiled and nodded:

"Looking at it this way, I think I should explain it more complicated..."

"Not impossible..."

After a joke, Tang Lintian finally got back to the point:

"The second thing is that the Chinese Mathematical Society contacted you and invited you to attend the academic annual meeting at the end of this year and to present the sixth Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award."

"Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award?"

After all, Chang Haonan is not a mathematics major. He only knows one Chern Mathematics Award and one Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award in China.

"Yes, it is an award specifically given to outstanding graduate students in mathematics. In that year, graduates in the past two years can participate."

Tang Lintian explained.

In fact, he had never heard of this award before, but later he found out that it was one of the three major mathematics awards in China:

"Originally, the Mathematical Society wanted to give you one, after all, you graduated within two years, and you just graduated last year, so you meet the requirements."

"However, firstly, your doctoral thesis is not in mathematics, and secondly..."

"They also feel that it seems a bit unqualified to give you this award now... So they decided to wait until the next Chern Mathematics Award, and invite you as a guest this time."

Speaking of this, Tang Lintian smacked his lips with emotion-

Others are worried about whether they are qualified to be evaluated for a certain award.

For Chang Haonan, it became that he had to consider whether he was qualified enough to give him a certain award...

"If it is held in Beijing, it would be no problem to attend it by the way."

Chang Haonan thought seriously for a while, and then replied:

"But if it is held in other cities, I won't make a special trip there."

"Don't worry about that."

Tang Lintian waved his hand:

"Under normal circumstances, the annual meeting will be held in November. Even if it was not originally planned in Beijing, they have to move here with your words..."

"Knock knock--"

While the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The computing center originally had a separate access control, so those who could reach the door of Chang Haonan's office must be acquainted.

The door opened.

Half a second later, Li Yabo carefully moved in from outside:

"Congratulations, teacher..."

Just after greeting and congratulating, he saw Tang Lintian sitting opposite Chang Haonan:

"Uh...should I wait outside..."

"No, no..."

Chang Haonan called him over:

"Your graduation thesis should have been sorted out, right?"

"It's sorted out."

Li Yabo took out a printed and bound thesis from his schoolbag:

"Take a look."

"Is this the undergraduate you led?"

After Tang Lintian officially took office as the president, he had resigned from the position of dean of the School of Aeronautical Science and Engineering, so he didn't know the students that well.

"Yes, his name is Li Yabo."

After Chang Haonan finished speaking, he introduced Li Yabo:

"This is Tang Lintian, President Tang."

It is normal for college students not to know school leaders.

What's more, Tang Lintian was not the president when Li Yabo enrolled.

"Hello, President Tang."

"Hey, hello, hello."

Tang Lintian responded enthusiastically.

Then he looked at Chang Haonan:

"Has his defense committee been arranged?"

"Ah?"

The latter was so surprised that he almost dropped his paper:

"Isn't the college organizing the defense for undergraduates?"

"Of course for normal undergraduates."

Tang Lintian answered as a matter of course:

"But think about your graduation situation, there are still exceptions..."

"Wasn't my graduation also organized in a unified manner?"

It has only been three years since Chang Haonan graduated from undergraduate school, so he still has a deep impression.

"On the surface, of course, but think about it, how could there be two academicians for a normal undergraduate defense...so it was actually arranged specifically for you."

"Hmm..."

Chang Haonan turned around and thought about it, and felt that it made sense.

"Now your students have to defend, the standard...can't be worse than that of the past, right?"

Tang Lintian looked at Li Yabo with what he thought was a kind and gentle look.

But the latter felt a little cold on his back and couldn't help but take a step back.

"How about this, the two of us, and Academician Liu Zhenxiang, who is from our school, and Academician Wang Yuanguang, and Academician Huang Yunbo, who was just elected this year, are also in Beijing, I will invite them both to come..."

Li Yabo next to him slowly widened his eyes when he heard this-

What the hell?

I just graduated from college.

Three academicians are here?

Is it true?
