The classmates have changed a lot in the past few years. Some have obtained postgraduate degrees, some have passed the public examinations, some have entered very good foreign companies, and some have become hard-working teachers like Xu Shengzhou... In short, if you can come

Everyone attending the class reunion has their own success and story to tell. Although Xu Shengzhou has attracted a lot of attention, at this moment, he is not the only protagonist, and sometimes even acts as an NPC.

"I heard that you made an exception and got a graduate degree? Tutor or academician?"

The person who came to talk was Shi Tianen, the top student in his class. As a child of a teaching staff, he had received a good family education since he was a child. He had Xu Shengzhou pinned under him for three years in high school and could not move. Unexpectedly, he capsized during the college entrance examination and could only

He went to a 211 school in the province. He had been living with his fists in his hands these past years - holding his breath, waiting for a turnaround when he graduated from college, but he did not expect to be defeated in Maicheng again.

Xu Shengzhou didn't expect that he would come and strike up a conversation: "Ah, yes -"

"I have also been admitted to graduate school. In the School of Life Sciences at Aurora University, my supervisor, Professor Zheng Hetian, is a Ph.D. at UC San Diego and a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University. He was selected into the National High-Level Talent Program a few years ago and returned to Aurora University to establish

My own laboratory. Teacher Zheng is very good at scientific research. He has published 1 article in "Cell" and 2 articles in "PNAS" as the first author. He just won the first prize of the Hujiang Municipal Natural Science Award last year. With this achievement, my mentor this year

Jieqing is definitely stable!"

Shi Tianen was not bragging. The first prize of the Hujiang Municipal Natural Science Award is very valuable. Coupled with the influence of Aurora University, as long as there are no mistakes, the Outstanding Youth is really a sure winner. Xu Shengzhou agreed very much: "Your tutor is very powerful.

Ah! The first prize winners of the Hujiang Municipal Natural Science Award are all eligible to apply for the second prize of the National Natural Science Award, which is a stepping stone for being elected as an academician! Once you win, you can line up to participate in the co-election of academicians."

Shi Tianen thinks Xu Shengzhou is very wise.

He talked about this with others. Firstly, they were not interested. Secondly, even if they were interested, they didn't know what "Cell" or "PNAS" was, the first prize of the Hujiang Municipal Natural Science Award, what the outstanding youth meant, and they even regarded it as a compliment.

Not good. His view of Xu Shengzhou suddenly changed: "That's right! The key point is that my mentor is only 38 years old this year. He is in his prime years and will have more and greater achievements in the future. Distinguished Young Scholars, National Self-Professor II, Academician, Metropolis

Yes!"

Is 38 still the prime of life? In another two years, the Fields Medal will not be considered!

Sure enough, those who study mathematics and those who study biology have different concepts of time.

Soon another classmate joined the group chat: "Shengzhu, will you be in Jinling often? I entered the postgraduate entrance examination at Jinling Normal University. Because advanced mathematics was too difficult, I had to choose a different major. Now I am studying economic law."

Xu Shengzhou studied science in high school. After the college entrance examination, most people also chose science and engineering majors.

"I was also afraid of advanced math, so I just majored in Chinese history as a cross-major, which made me completely different from mathematics. However, when I was in high school, mathematics didn't seem to be very prominent. Now I'm majoring in computer science.

Mathematics major, and he has published so many mathematics papers, it’s really a surprise to see him after three days apart!”

Xu Shengzhou smiled and said: "You abandoned liberal arts and science, but now one of you is studying law and the other is studying history? People change. In fact, this principle is the same as when we look at the girls in the class. After three years in high school, I think they are just the same.

That way. When we met again in college, we found that they had transformed. They all had red lips and white teeth, and looked like gods. I regretted not taking action earlier in high school."

A group of people laughed: "Good day, pig!"

"What a hit!"

"I don't know if you will regret it in the future. Anyway, I almost regretted it!"

Xu Shengzhou found that those who joined this group chat were basically graduate students, because only people living in similar environments can better find topics of mutual interest. Just like other circles of classmates around, those who work in companies

We got together to talk about salaries and benefits, and a group of people who work in the school complained about their positions and ranks, and everyone had a great time chatting. Otherwise, if different circles get together, they can only keep chewing and reminiscing about the bits and pieces of high school. Memories are like tea leaves, brewed

The more times you use it, the less flavorful it will be.

As a result, the paths of life intersect in high school, diverge here, and drift apart.

Shi Tianci suddenly said: "Actually, one of you studies law and the other studies history. It's more like the 'barrel theory'. That is, how much water a barrel can hold does not depend on the highest wooden board on the wall of the barrel, but on the

The shortest piece on the wall of the barrel. The reason why you switched majors is not necessarily because you hate the original major and like the current major, but to a large extent because you have shortcomings in mathematics, which limits your professional development. In fact,

There is such a vivid example around me."

No one interrupted and waited quietly for him to finish telling the story.

"To be specific, it's not my side, but my dad's side. There is a young mathematics teacher in the No. 2 Middle School in the county where my dad is located. He seems to have graduated from the Mathematics Department of Jiangbei Normal University. He is very good at mathematics, and the head of their department is also very good.

He valued him and wanted him to be admitted to graduate school, but his biggest weakness was English. He only failed CET-4 only in his senior year. Because his English scores were not up to standard, he was not qualified to be admitted to graduate school. He was furious.

I plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination while working. The head of their department also said that as long as his score passes the cutoff, he will be the first to be admitted."

Shi Tianci took a sip of water and continued: "The job he was looking for was the No. 2 Middle School in the county where my dad was. In order to tutor in English, he specially asked an English teacher to teach him a small lesson. In the first year, his English was not above the line. In the second year, his English

Still didn't pass the line. In the third year, I passed the line in English, but not in politics. Last year was the fourth year, but I passed the line in politics, but not in English. I heard that we are now preparing for the fifth war. So

, a person’s future development must not only look at his strengths, but also clearly see where his shortcomings are.”

Is this because the graduate school looks down on those who are out of the norm? When I was in college, my grades were not good, and my English was average. Only under the care of the system boss, I could barely write a paper and appear to be out of the norm. But this is touching your cheese.

Or are you eating your rice?

——Well, if I had worked hard to read books, memorize words, and earn points for scholarships to get the postgraduate qualifications, I would still look down on someone who could break the rules with just a few essays!

But Xu Shengzhou's focus is not here: "That teacher insisted on taking the postgraduate entrance examination while working, and failed repeatedly. It's quite admirable."

Shi Tianci curled his lips: "What's there to admire? Because of the postgraduate entrance examination, he usually doesn't pay much attention to teaching, and the school and students are very dissatisfied. And he is already twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old, single, and he doesn't want to fall in love.

When I got married, I felt nervous and a little sloppy. I felt like I had some mental problem."

Xu Shengzhou asked: "What's that person's name?"

"It seems his name is Wu Yilin or something? Everyone calls him Teacher Wu anyway." Shi Tianci looked at Xu Shengzhou, "Why, Principal Xu cherishes each other and has a love for talents? It's not difficult for you to find him. He is concentrating on preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.

, it seems that I didn’t even go home during the winter vacation, and lived in the single teachers’ dormitory of No. 2 Middle School. You can find it when you go there.”

Xu Shengzhou said: "Everyone has a love for talents, not to mention sympathy for others with the same disease? If possible, I really want to see it."

The reunion of classmates who had just entered the society was nothing more than drinking, eating, and bragging. After the party was over, some classmates suggested singing. Xu Shengzhou, who had been drunk with two or three ounces of wine, felt a little overwhelmed, so he declined. After everyone left, he was alone

I stood for a moment in front of the hotel. The sun was giving off a thin warmth at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the streets were noisy, and the cars were constantly coming and going. I suddenly wanted to meet that teacher Wu Yilin.

Fueled by curiosity and the courage of alcohol, Xu Shengzhou instantly became a "social cow" and took a taxi straight to the County No. 2 Middle School. Then he passed the guard, asked the security guard, walked through the campus, went up the stairs, and arrived at the door of Wu Yilin's single dormitory.

At this time, the drunkenness had dissipated a little, and his mind had become clearer. He regretted his recklessness. What does one of the four great forgivenesses in China say: You have come! How can you imitate Dayu and get through?

He gathered his emotions and knocked on the door. The person inside said with a slight hesitation: "Who is it?"

This question was asked, and Xu Shengzhou didn't know how to answer it for a while. He said he was a graduate student of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Beijing Normal University and a disciple of Academician Cheng? Isn't this a visit to trouble someone during the Chinese New Year! He said he was the principal of China Science and Technology Vocational College?

It feels like a sales pitch! It doesn’t make sense to say that it’s a stranger who came here to see the fun after hearing the rumors.

Before he could think about it, the people in the room had already opened the door. A musty smell mixed with stale smell rushed towards him, almost stimulating the two or three ounces of wine that had settled in Xu Shengzhou's belly to spurt out.

Xu Shengzhou took a few steps back to calm down the turmoil in his stomach, and then he had time to look at the other person. The other person was tall and thin, and his clothes were dirty. He probably hadn't changed them for a long time. His hair was messy and greasy, his face was dark, and he had a long stubble on his chin.

He is tall, but his eyes are very bright, and he doesn’t look like he has a mental problem.

"Who are you?" Wu Yilin asked again.

Xu Shengzhou quickly replied: "I am Xu Shengzhou from the School of Mathematical Sciences of Beijing Normal University. My home is here. I heard that you are very good at mathematics when I went home during the winter vacation. I want to communicate with you. Do you think it is okay?"

He is from Jiangbei Normal University, and I am from Beijing Normal University. Normal schools all over the world are from the same family, and we all major in mathematics, so we can’t reject others thousands of miles away, right?

"Beijing Normal University, School of Mathematical Sciences, Xu Shengzhou?" Wu Yilin turned his head and thought for a few seconds, "I seem to have heard of this name?"

Do you know his own name? It seems that he often surfs the Internet. He is not the kind of nerd who immerses himself in studying and ignores worldly affairs. This makes communication much easier! Just as he was about to speak, Wu Yilin had already remembered: "You were in "Mathematics" last year.

Three papers were published in "Monthly", one of which was named the best paper of the year? Aren't you from the School of Computer Science? How did you become a student of the School of Mathematical Sciences?"

Xu Shengzhou quickly explained: "I graduated from the School of Computer Science last year and then went to the School of Mathematical Sciences for graduate school."
