The wine glass that Zhang Jianzhi brought to his mouth just stood there. If you look closely, you can see that the wine in the glass is shaking slightly. After a while, he raised the glass and said, "Come, congratulations on your second chapter of the four major achievements."

Manuscript, get rid of it!!" After saying that, he drank it all.

Ren Hongshan's thousands of words were all condensed into one sentence: "Xu Shen, Niubi!!" It was also the wine that was gone.

Xu Shengzhou was still calm. He swallowed the cup of burnt-tasting shabu-shabu water and asked Zhang Jianzhi: "Teacher Zhang, can you give me your opinion now? Should I study algebraic geometry or probability theory?" <

/p>

Zhang Jianzhi played with his wine glass and muttered: "From your personal perspective and from the perspective of the development of domestic mathematics, I suggest you learn algebraic geometry. After all, algebraic geometry will be in a very core position now and for a long time to come.

, there are a large number of unsolved problems in the field, and it is easier to make impressive achievements." Then he whispered: "But from my perspective, from the school's point of view, I hope you can learn probability theory. In the past, we

The school's introductory statistics are very good, but what about now? Seeing the subject that they admired, worked hard for, and settled in is declining and becoming silent, many teachers in the school sigh with regret. But that's the case with mathematics, if you don't know it, you don't know it, and there's nothing you can do about it.

We really need a genius like you, the kind who can publish two articles in the top four publications a year. I guess the old man thinks so too, right?"

With a bright future and sincere feelings, Xu Shengzhou is in a dilemma.

Ren Hongshan asked curiously: "Do I have to choose one of the two? Why can't I study both? I just checked on my mobile phone and found that many experts have studied for two Ph.D.s across disciplines, such as the Turing Award

The winner, Academician Yao, first studied for a Ph.D. in physics and then a Ph.D. in computer science. Why can’t Brother Zhou study two directions in the same subject at the same time? He is Xu Shen!"

Zhang Jianzhi glanced at him sideways: "Can you have some common sense? First study physics, and then study computer science. That's two Ph.D.s. Studying two directions in the same subject at the same time? Why, award him two Ph.D.s in mathematics?"

Ren Hongshan scratched his head: "Yes, you can't give two PhDs in mathematics at the same time."

Zhang Jianzhi picked up the wine glass again: "Let's see if we can find a way to have both sides in the future! But no matter what, our institute will always thank you."

Xu Shengzhou was startled: "Thank me? Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for publishing two articles on the 'Big Four'! You are living in this mountain and don't know the influence of the 'Big Four'. Do you know how many of the 'Big Four' articles can be published by so many colleges and departments across the country every year? No.

More than ten. How about those who can publish more than two articles? No more than one hand. With your two articles as the 'Four Big', our institute's status cannot be said to have skyrocketed, but at least it has stopped its decline in the short term."

Xu Shengzhou also raised his glass: "Speaking of gratitude, I am also grateful to the college for giving me the opportunity to continue studying. I am also grateful to Teacher Zhang for your eclectic mind and giving me the opportunity to publish my first paper. Without your guidance, I would not have been able to publish my first paper."

You can’t get to where you are today!”

Zhang Jianzhi raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp: "Thank you for what? It's what we teachers should do. But being able to publish your first paper, I believe that in a few years or decades, it will definitely become my lifelong

The most proud thing! Let me tell you another good news. Wasn’t your first paper "Matrix Coefficients of the Real Jacobi Group" published in the second issue of "Mathematical Monthly" this year? After research by the editorial department a few days ago, it was planned to be

It has been rated as the best paper of the year and has been sent to the judges for voting together with 13 other papers. I guess there will be no big problem."

Xu Shengzhou reluctantly followed and sipped the wine: "Thank you!"

"Don't look down on this award. Although our Mathematics Monthly is not comparable to the 'Big Four', it is still very influential in China. There are many outstanding young people, outstanding young people, and even doctoral students who are judging the award with you. You

For a computer science undergraduate to be among them, this alone is enough to be proud of!" Zhang Jiazhi pointed at Ren Hongshan, "Just like him, let alone publishing the best paper of the year, even if he graduates as a graduate student, he will be published in the "Mathematics Monthly"

》I am satisfied after posting 3 ordinary papers!”

Ren Hongshan: Meow meow meow? I am just a transparent person, why should I be involved? Besides, shouldn’t I just publish ordinary papers?

Zhang Jianzhi looked at the tin pot with only a trickle of remaining wine left, and took down his own wine glass: "In this weather, with good wine, good food, and such good news, I enjoyed my meal today! I hope to post next time

When the 'Big Four' comes, we can gather together and have a drink again."

Ren Hongshan smiled and said: "Xu Shen announced the 'Big Four', isn't that very easy? Just wait for Xu Shen to treat you in the future!"

When we walked out of the hotel, snow had begun to fall in the sky, and a thin layer had accumulated, barely covering the ground. The wind blew up the snowflakes, which were like broken jade, covering up the street lights. The campus of the Normal University opposite was a bit dark,

Only the lights in the teaching building flickered, and the crows perched on the branches of the French plane trees made hoarse calls from time to time. Xu Shengzhou put Zhang Jianzhi into a taxi, and then walked slowly back to the dormitory with Ren Hongshan. The warm Jimo old wine ironed his body.

It's so comfortable that I don't feel cold in the windy and snowy night.

Ren Hongshan said as he walked: "Brother Zhou, Teacher Zhang is very happy today! He is happier than when our classmates had dinner together."

Xu Shengzhou didn't speak for a while.

Ren Hongshan said again: "Brother Zhou, will you graduate from graduate school soon?"

Xu Shengzhou's voice was a little erratic in the cold wind: "Yes!"

"Then study for a Ph.D.?"

"Yes."

"Have you decided to study algebraic geometry or probability theory?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"I think Teacher Zhang wants you to learn these two directions at the same time, but he can't say it out loud."

Just as Xu Shengzhou was about to answer, his cell phone rang suddenly. He took it out and saw that it was Dean Zhang Anping. As soon as the call was connected, an excited voice rushed out of the phone: "I heard that you voted for "Ann. Math.

》The paper has been accepted, but they didn’t even tell us when it happened!”

Xu Shengzhou was influenced by him and also laughed: "I just checked the submission background and found out that it was accepted."

"Okay! Okay! Well done! The college is proud of you!" Zhang Anping must be dancing with joy at this moment, "The college keeps its word. When you get the official acceptance email, the college will hold a separate graduation ceremony for you!

It has been less than four months since you enrolled as a graduate student, right? It has definitely set a record for the shortest graduation time for graduate students in our school. It is unprecedented! It is probably also unprecedented! You will definitely be written into the history of the school!"

Zhang Anping's language is logically confusing, his thinking jumps, and he is passionate. You can imagine his mental state at this moment.

"Also, the school newspaper is expected to conduct an exclusive interview with you in the next few days. You must be prepared to fully demonstrate the good spirit of our Mathematics School students!" Zhang Anping said the word "Mathematics School" accurately.

, is also very important, "Also, although you have achieved gratifying results, don't slack off, continue to write, and write more and better high-quality articles! Strive to set another record for our school's doctoral graduates."

Shortest time record!"

Xu Shengzhou said: "When I can graduate, does the college have the final say?"

"Hahahaha, that's right, but in the final analysis, it's up to you! Didn't Teacher Cheng say that he will post another 'Four' articles so that you can graduate with your doctorate early? Come on! Your goal is to gather all the 'Four Big's"

', Summon the dragon, and strive to realize your dream before graduation!"

I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!

If I remember correctly, you made this goal up as a joke, right? Why did you end up on my head when you turned over? Xu Shengzhou was just trying to correct his memory bias when Zhang Anping's call came to an end: "Remember,

When you have time, hurry up and check out what procedures you still need to go through after receiving the paper. If you need help from the hospital, you must tell me in time and guarantee your full support and cooperation. Okay, I won’t disturb you to enjoy this wonderful evening. Goodbye!"
p>

"No -" Before Xu Shengzhou could speak, Zhang Anping hung up the phone anxiously.

Really, Xu Shengzhou once again felt that it would be a pity not to become a reporter in Hongkong because of Dean Zhang's gossip-loving personality, good ears, and fast running speed!

Returning to the dormitory in the snow with Ren Hongshan, Xu Shengzhou followed Zhang Anping's reminder and turned on the computer to start processing the procedures after the paper was accepted. Fortunately, the status had just been changed to Accepted yesterday, so there was not much time wasted. According to previous submission experience, papers are generally accepted.

After acceptance, even if the light begins to appear, the final victory has not yet come. There are still several procedures that need to be completed carefully before the paper is officially published, such as Proof (proofing), Copyright Transfer Agreement (signing of copyright transfer agreement), Payment (payment page)

(fee), don’t be careless at all, otherwise the consequences will be endless.

It took two or three hours to finish the process, and Xu Shengzhou got up and went to take a shower. In such weather, taking a nice hot bath before going to bed would definitely be a divine enjoyment. After taking a shower, he put on a bath towel and prepared to go straight to a clean and warm room.

When I was in bed, I saw Ren Hongshan standing there blankly, holding his mobile phone in his hand, already crying with tears streaming down his face. Xu Shengzhou was suddenly startled and asked hurriedly: "What's the matter? What happened?"

Originally Ren Hongshan was just crying silently, but when Xu Shengzhou asked him this question, he burst into tears: "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang..."

"What's wrong with him?" Xu Shengzhou was so anxious that he almost jumped.

Before Hongshan could say anything about Zi Chou Yin Mao, Xu Shengzhou's phone rang. He quickly picked up the phone and found that there were several missed calls. The caller now was Heng Ping. It must be something important: "Hello, Teacher Heng?

”

"Did you know? Something happened to Teacher Zhang Jianzhi!"

"What happened? I just came out of the shower and saw Ren Hongshan crying. What happened? Teacher Zhang was eating and drinking with us a few hours ago."

"On his way back, due to the slippery snowy conditions, the car he was riding in was hit by an out-of-control truck, causing a serious car accident. Teacher Zhang's injuries are very critical and he is currently being treated in the hospital. The situation is not optimistic. You have to be patient.

Prepare."
