Chapter 40

[Dear Lu Zhou, this is the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. First of all, thank you for your contribution to the Institute's official journal "Theoretical and Applied Mathematics Letters". Regarding your conclusions in your paper "Optimal Inversion Theory of Linear Operators and Linear Functionals", it is a key inspiration for the bottleneck we are encountering in our ongoing collaborative project with the Paul Schell Institute in Switzerland...]

[…that is a project on seismic wave echo spectrum analysis, which will be used in geological resource exploration and seismic research. The specific details are inconvenient to be disclosed in relation to confidentiality contracts, but we assure you that your research results are used for peaceful purposes. ...]

[…Professors Rodwell and Li of our institute expressed their surprise when they learned that you were only 19 years old, and at the same time admired your talent in the field of mathematics. While expressing our gratitude for your research achievements, we also sincerely invite you. If you are interested in studying for an undergraduate or a master's degree in the United States, please be sure to contact us. NYU is open to you. 】

In Shangjing City, next to Wudaokou Vocational College, in an old-fashioned apartment building.

Spread out on the table is the "Jinling Daily", which quoted a letter sent from New York University, excerpted some of the excerpts, and made a comprehensive report on the debate that occurred on the scarf some time ago.

As for the origin of this newspaper, it was sent by his old classmate who was the president of Jinling University.

A copy of the original English version of the thank you letter was also sent.

"It's just nonsense!"

After reading this newspaper, he took off the eyes on the bridge of his nose, the gray-haired old man shook his head, and his fingers resting on the table were shaking with anger.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked into the study. When he saw the expression on the old gentleman's face, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what makes you so angry?"

"Look for yourself." The old gentleman tapped the newspaper with his index finger.

Seeing the cover of the newspaper, a hint of surprise appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

Unlike his father who retired at home, walking his dog and playing chess all day, he still has regular access to the Internet, and naturally he has heard about these hot topics. Even just yesterday, he talked about it with his colleagues.

Regardless of whether the paper is really problematic or not, an "expert" who calls himself a folk scholar caught an undergraduate student, and the means of hyping it up is really sublime.

When I was younger, it was just telling lies and messing around.

In a big way, that is persecuting intellectuals, and their intentions can be punished!

"You know that too?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"A layman is pointing his finger at the side, this is not a nonsense or something? He also pointed out that the country is up? I can't stand it anymore!..."

Those turbid pupils seemed to be caught in the memories of the past.

The old man opened his mouth, suddenly sighed, and shook his head.

"Forget it, don't talk anymore, it's all over."

Then, he looked at the bottom of the newspaper and quoted some of the blog posts of the blogger named Zhu Fangcai.

"...This article is wonderfully written, it really has the legacy of the young generals back then, huh." The old gentleman snorted coldly, and stood up from the chair with his hands on the armrests of the chair.

The middle-aged man asked, "Dad, are you going out? It's about dinner time."

The old gentleman waved his hand and walked to the door: "Don't eat, today, I'm going to sit at the old classmate's house! I can't breathe, I'm so fucking uncomfortable!"

...

The thank you letter published in Jinling Daily took public opinion in another direction.

Could a talent recognized by NYU be a useless academic cancer?

The melon eaters who were skeptical of Lu Zhou now began to reflect again.

New York University ranks in the top 30 in the world. It's reasonable to say that Jinda is protecting its own people for the sake of the school's reputation, but there is no reason for foreigners to follow the Pacific Ocean to gain popularity And what kind of Swiss research institute, it sounds very high-end...

As soon as this report came out, Zhu Fangcai's nose was crooked.

Unable to sit still, he jumped out immediately and published his third blog post overnight.

This time, he no longer dwells on the academic value of the paper.

"Even if you can prove that the paper is fine, it can't prove that you wrote the paper!"

"How can a student who has not graduated from an undergraduate degree write such a thesis?"

"Who can prove it? Can Jinling University prove it? Just because you have been to the library a few times? I have been to more libraries than you have heard of! How can I not write ten papers a month?"

"You say you are a genius, I don't believe it!"

Seeing this blog post by Zhu Fangcai, Lu Zhou wanted to say something to him: "Because you are stupid..."

Unfortunately, the other party did not give him this opportunity at all.

This debate has developed to the present, and it already means that some shrews are scolding the streets.

However, just when Lu Zhou thought that this debate would continue to tug on, suddenly a report published in the "Hua Guo Youth Daily" broke the deadlocked farce.

The title of the article is domineering.

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, their ambitions are not old! 》

The article did not mention the debate on the Internet some time ago, but just reported an ordinary college student about the 11 SCI papers he published this year, as well as the objective evaluation of these papers by two Wudaokou University professors. And that thank you letter from across the ocean.

And his name is Lu Zhou.

This report was not only published in the print media, but also simultaneously published on the official WeChat account of the Huaguo Youth Daily.

In addition, it has been reprinted by the official Weibo of many media such as "Renren Daily".

This time, Lu Zhou was pushed to the hot search again.

But the nature is completely different...

Staring at the phone screen, Zhu Fangcai's wide eyes were burning with anger, but the cold sweat couldn't stop rushing down.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be playing a bit too big.

No one paid attention to him before. He jumped around at will, and all the people who paid attention to him were the same minor characters as him, or slightly stronger than him, but he was still far from being able to slap him to death.

But now...

The official media clearly intends to promote Lu Zhou as an outstanding college student in the new era and set him as an example for contemporary college students. And the argument that he wished someone was exactly the opposite of the propaganda above.

This is a little serious...

How to do?

Admit cowardice?

But it is impossible for fans to buy it, and the fans who have finally risen up will all be lost.

Don't admit it...

Zhu Fangcai was really afraid, and he was the next person to be named.

In the face of the above propaganda caliber, no matter how many fans you have, it is no different from grasshoppers, and at most you should be bigger. If you really want to slap him to death, it's just a slap in the face.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

The caller is also an education commentator, and his name is Zhong Bowen.

This guy occasionally writes articles, but his temperament is slightly milder, and his views are not as radical as Zhu Dazui's. People in the circle call him Lao Zhong, a kind and easy-going person.

"Pillar, it's enough... I'll close this thing when I see it. If you keep going down, I'm afraid something will go wrong." Lao Zhongyu said earnestly.

"Old Zhong, it's not that I don't want to stop, it's that it's difficult to ride a tiger." Zhu Fangcai sighed.

Old Zhong said with a heartache: "Do you think those 985s are easy to mess with? Bully others with few fans? Is this a problem with the number of fans! You say you, who is not good, have to go to a university, who has few alumni on it what?"

"I didn't even think about scolding Jinling University, that is, I said a few words with that little brat's paper. Anyone who sees 10 papers published in a month will feel abnormal? Who would have thought that they would react so much, I think There must be a problem!" Zhu Fangcai quibble.

"I don't think your brain is normal," Lao Zhong couldn't help but spit at him, "Just think about it with your brain, can an undergraduate who publish 10 papers a month be a normal person?"

Think about it this way...

It seems so.

But it's too late to regret it now.

"...Then what do you think I should do?" Zhu Fangcai sighed.

"This matter is easy to solve. Others just ask you to apologize. You just apologize and admit your mistake. Maybe this matter will pass." Lao Zhong said on the phone.

"Impossible, I'd rather go to a lawsuit, how much will I lose... If I admit to counseling, the loss will be even greater." The expression was a little struggling, and finally Zhu Fangcai shook his head, "At most, I will talk less next time. ."

It is impossible to apologize, it is impossible to apologize in this life.

At best, deal with it coldly, if it really doesn't work, just file a lawsuit!

What storm has he not seen?

He wrote an article saying that when drinking Longjing tea caused cancer, he even suffered a lawsuit from the local government, and in the end he only lost 600,000. How can I get him in the end? Can the court enforce him to lose money, but also force him to apologize?

Lao Zhong sighed and shook his head: "Then I won't advise you anymore, just do it yourself."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.
