Chapter 88 Accept the invitation to be the editor of 'Mathematics Monthly'!
On the way home, Tang Feng looked very happy.
This is the first time he has driven such a good car.
Even before his rebirth, he had never driven such a good car.
After all, the price of 170,000 yuan is a quite high threshold for most families.
The private cars purchased by many families basically cost around 100,000 yuan.
Therefore, a car worth about 100,000 yuan is also called a grocery shopping cart.
Of course, since this is 2003, the number of private cars is not very large yet.
Especially in 18th-tier cities like Binjiang City, the number is even pitifully small.
There are still mostly bicycles on the road.
After all, two-wheeled electric vehicles are not yet popular, and there are not many motorcycles.
When people travel, they still prefer to ride bicycles.
Anyway, the distance is not very far, and riding a bicycle can also be a good exercise.
Tang Long and his wife were also very happy.
They sit in the car and see everything is new.
When Tang Feng goes to school, this car will be theirs.
They can drive out to do errands and visit relatives and friends, which gives them more face.
Although Tang Long didn't value these things very much, he would definitely be very happy if he could be praised in front of relatives and friends.
After all, he is also an ordinary person. He is also willing to enjoy the vanity brought by others' praise.
After a while, they returned home.
The old men and women who were enjoying the cool air downstairs greeted them one after another when they saw them getting out of the car.
Tang Long and his wife chatted with them for a while.
Tang Feng took Su Xiaoli back home directly.
"Xiaoli, time is tight! You have to hurry up and practice." Tang Feng told the other party.
"I know." Su Xiaoli nodded and said, "I will try my best to improve my calligraphy level in the shortest time."
Then, Su Xiaoli sat down at the study table.
Tang Feng stood behind her, holding her hand and giving careful instructions.
Time flies.
When it was lunch time, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli cooked together.
Originally Tang Feng wanted to do it by himself, but Su Xiaoli insisted on doing it with him.
In this case, Su Xiaoli can also learn some cooking skills from him.
Tang Feng saw that she was determined to do this, but he didn't stop her.
After all, when cooking, I have Su Xiaoli by my side, so the work is not too tiring.
After finishing their meal, they took a brief rest and then continued practicing.
Under Tang Feng's guidance, Su Xiaoli's calligraphy level improved dramatically.
It's like riding a rocket.
Tang Feng was very happy when he saw this situation.
According to this progress, Su Xiaoli's calligraphy level will soon reach level ten.
At that time, he can successfully complete the tasks issued by the system and obtain points rewards.
When he thought about having six thousand points, he seemed a little excited.
This state lasted for two days.
Tang Feng received a call from Lu Tao.
"Classmate Tang Feng, I have good news for you! Your proof process has successfully passed the verification!" Lu Tao looked extremely excited as he spoke!
After all, what Tang Feng proved was the Riemann Hypothesis! A world-class mathematical problem! For more than a hundred years, countless mathematicians have failed at this difficult mathematical problem and regretted it for the rest of their lives!
When Tang Feng heard the news, he seemed very calm.
When he gets the system reward, he knows that the proof process is correct.
"Classmate Tang Feng, why don't you speak? Are you too excited to speak?" Lu Tao suddenly became nervous.
"No." Tang Feng shook his head and said, "Since it has passed the verification, can it be published?"
"Publication is certain! I have communicated with Academician Gao and the others. According to their intention, a separate issue of the school's academic journal will be published! In addition to publishing the proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis, there will also be proofs of the formulas in it! After all,
The proofs of those formulas are also of great academic value! If an ordinary teacher can prove one of the formulas, he is fully qualified to be promoted to associate professor." Lu Tao replied.
"I don't know much about this aspect, just look at the arrangements." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Next, we will carry out detailed layout of this issue of the journal. However, Academician Gao specially requested that you also participate. Otherwise, if there are any mistakes in it, it is likely to make a joke.
Those foreign colleagues are watching the excitement," Lu Tao said.
"No problem! Xiaoli and I will report to Beijing University in two days! We will contact you then!" Tang Feng agreed happily.
"There is another matter that I want to discuss with you." Lu Tao changed the topic.
"you say."
"According to Academician Gao's wishes, he wants to invite you to be the editor of Mathematics Monthly." Lu Tao said.
"Editor?" Tang Feng was obviously stunned when he heard this position.
"Yes!" Lu Tao nodded and said, "The last time you came to Beijing University to explain the Five Formulas to everyone, you have proven your academic strength. Both Academician Gao and Academician Lin are full of praise for you. Gao
The academician feels that if you serve as the editor of Mathematics Monthly, the quality of the journal can be improved to a higher level."
"But if I serve as editor, can I still publish papers on it?" Tang Feng was a little worried.
"Yes! As long as the quality of your paper meets the requirements of the publication, it can definitely be published." Lu Tao responded.
"Is there a salary for this editor's job?" Tang Feng then asked.
"Yes! And this is a formal job! That is to say, during your tenure as editor, not only will you be paid a salary, but you will also be paid for pension insurance and medical insurance." Lu Tao replied.
"If you put it that way, it's really good! OK, after you tell Academician Gao, I am willing to serve as the editor of Mathematics Monthly." Tang Feng agreed.
"When you arrive, I will take you through the onboarding procedures." Lu Tao looked very happy.
"Wait a minute!" Tang Feng shouted.
"What's wrong?" Lu Tao asked.
"If I serve as the editor of Mathematics Monthly, what will happen to me in class? Will there be any conflict?" Tang Feng asked.
"No." Lu Tao shook his head and said: "Although you are the editor of Mathematics Monthly, most of the work you do not need to do. What you have to do is to work with Academician Gao to help other researchers.
The editors conduct the final review of the papers submitted to the newspaper.”
"With Academician Gao? Don't I have great power?" Tang Feng was very surprised.
"That's for sure. After all, your mathematics level is on display here. If you weren't too young, Academician Gao would have wanted you to be the editor-in-chief of Mathematics Monthly." Lu Tao's words were full of envy.
After all, he has taught at Beijing University for so many years and has never even become an editor.
Tang Feng has just graduated from high school. Not only has he become an editor, he will definitely become the editor-in-chief in the near future.
This gap is really too big!
You know, he also graduated from Beijing University! Although he was not the top scorer in the college entrance examination that year, he ranked very high!
In other words, in the eyes of others, he is also a genius!
Moreover, he not only completed his undergraduate studies at Beijing University, but also completed his master's and doctoral studies.
After obtaining his doctorate, he finally stayed at the school to teach.
After all, although the number of doctoral students who graduate from Beijing University every year is not very large, Beijing University cannot hire so many.
Therefore, many PhD students need to work in other schools or scientific research institutions.
Some even left the capital and went to other places.
Compared with these classmates, he is also one of the best.
But even if he is so powerful, compared with Tang Feng, he is simply nothing!
Facing a peerless genius like Tang Feng, he would be lying if he said he wasn't envious.
"I definitely can't be the editor-in-chief. Not to mention other things, I'm too far behind simply because of my age! If I were to be the editor-in-chief, there would definitely be people who would be dissatisfied! Besides, if I were to be the editor-in-chief, I would definitely have to do a lot of other things.
I don’t have so much time for administrative work." Tang Feng said with a slight smile.
"That's for sure! We have meetings almost every week. We also have to attend various seminars. Of course, you must be involved in these seminars. You have to be mentally prepared in advance." Lu Tao reminded the other party.
"Can I refuse to participate?" Tang Feng asked.
"Yes! But everyone still hopes that you can participate. In this case, everyone's mathematics level can be improved faster." Lu Tao replied.
"We'll talk about this later. Do you have anything else to do?" Tang Feng asked.
"No! Before you report to school, give me a call! I'll pick you up!" Lu Tao took the initiative.
"No need." Tang Feng shook his head and said, "Xiaoli's father said he would drive us there."
"Then I'll wait at the school gate. I happen to be familiar with the school environment and can help your class go through the admission procedures," Lu Tao said.
"Okay! I'll call you then." Tang Feng agreed.
After all, the other party has already said it to this point, and if he refuses again, it will be really unjustifiable.
You know, Lu Tao is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Beijing University. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not be able to enjoy this treatment.
call ended.
"Tang Feng, why did Professor Lu call you? Did your certification process pass the verification?" Su Xiaoli guessed.
"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and said, "Professor Lu called me. In addition to telling me this good news, he also had another good news, that is, he asked me to serve as the editor of Mathematics Monthly."
"Isn't Mathematics Monthly a publication of Beijing University? It seems to be quite influential." Su Xiaoli was a little surprised.
"That's the one you're talking about." Tang Feng responded.
"Did you agree?" Su Xiaoli asked.
"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and said, "This is what Academician Gao proposed. How can I not agree? If I don't agree, wouldn't I be living up to the old man's wishes?"
"But if you become an editor, what will you do with your studies? Is it possible that you don't go to college and work directly?" Su Xiaoli was shocked when she said this.
"This is impossible!" Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I still want to spend four wonderful years in college with you!"
"But when you become an editor, how do you balance the relationship with your studies?" Su Xiaoli was a little worried.
"Professor Lu has made it very clear to me that my working hours are not long. I can even work in my free time. Besides, in terms of academic work, I believe I can handle it with ease." Tang Feng looked confident.
"That's true. Your level in mathematics is already very high! Last time in the conference room of Beijing University, I saw that the professors were all listening to your lectures attentively. I have to say that you on the stage at that time were really impressive. It's so charming!" Su Xiaoli said this and smiled sheepishly.
"Charming? How charming?" Tang Feng asked with a smirk on his face.
"Humph! I won't tell you!" Su Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him.
Tang Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.
"Let's hurry up and practice! I think your current calligraphy level has improved very quickly! If you take the exam now, you will definitely reach level ten." Tang Feng changed the topic.
"I also feel that my handwriting is getting better and better. But for the grade exam, I don't think it is necessary. I don't rely on this to make a living. I just want to make my handwriting more beautiful. In this way, whether I read it by myself or Others will find it pleasing to the eye when they see it." Su Xiaoli responded.
"When I get to school, I'll find out how the welcome party will be held. We'll sign up in advance then." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Do you really want to participate?" Su Xiaoli became a little nervous.
"Yes!" Tang Feng nodded and said, "The New Year's Eve Party is a good opportunity to show off your talents. Don't you want to participate?"
"I want to participate. But I'm worried that if I don't write well, it will be troublesome if something happens to me!" Su Xiaoli replied.
"Don't worry! With me here, you will never be embarrassed! Besides, the words you write now are already quite elegant! There is still some time before the welcome party. As long as you practice diligently, your calligraphy skills will be improved." It's completely comparable to those calligraphy masters." Tang Feng looked confident.
"You told me on the phone that I would perform calligraphy and you would sing. How come I never saw you practicing?" Su Xiaoli asked curiously.
"Don't worry." Tang Feng smiled slightly and said, "It won't be too late for me to practice again when I go to Beijing University."
"But I don't seem to have heard you sing before! How about you sing one for me now?" Su Xiaoli discussed with the other party.
"Not now!" Tang Feng shook his head and said, "My voice has not been feeling well these days! I will sing to you in two days."
"Okay! Just don't forget it!" Su Xiaoli agreed.
"Let's hurry up and practice." Tang Feng changed the topic.
Su Xiaoli nodded and began to practice calligraphy seriously.
Although Tang Feng stood behind her, his thoughts were already far away.
How can I describe his current singing level?
Tone deaf?
Drake voice?
More or less a little bit of it!
This is also the reason why he dare not open his mouth to sing!
But the reason why he agreed to Su Xiaoli's singing on stage must be because he knew it well.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to make such a suggestion.
That's what he thought.
When Su Xiaoli's calligraphy level reaches level 10, he can get system rewards.
Six thousand points, plus the points he gets from signing in every day, are more than enough to exchange for a music book!
When that time comes, he can naturally show off his singing voice and amaze the audience!
Of course, the top priority now is to get Su Xiaoli's calligraphy level to level ten!
Otherwise, his plan will definitely fail!
Thinking of this, he quickly cheered up and started to give some advice to Su Xiaoli.
He didn't know how much time had passed before Tang Feng suddenly heard the sound coming from the system.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the task! The reward has been distributed to your account! Please check it!"
After Tang Feng heard this, he almost jumped for joy.
"Tang Feng, are you okay?" Su Xiaoli noticed his reaction and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I feel a little tired from standing, so I'll go and lie down on the bed for a while."
Then he lay down on the bed.
He opened the system's control panel at any time.
At this moment, he already has 7926 points in his account.
He was extremely excited.
This is the first time since he obtained the system that he has so many points in his account!
He opened the points mall.
I spent 4,000 points to redeem a song mystery book.
Soon, he felt that his throat had changed.
Although he didn't know exactly what this change looked like, he knew very well that it would definitely be good for his voice.
There are 3926 points left in the account.
He thought for a while and finally spent 3,000 points to redeem a bottle of wisdom potion.
As long as Su Xiaoli takes the wisdom potion, she can increase her IQ a little.
Of course, the effect of a bottle of wisdom potion will not be very great.
However, Tang Feng believes that as long as time passes, the points he earns can be exchanged for many bottles, allowing Su Xiaoli's IQ to reach an extremely high level!
"Xiaoli, come here, this is for you!" Tang Feng took out the wisdom potion.
"What is this?" Su Xiaoli asked as she took it.
"This is a nutritional supplement that can make your brain smarter." Tang Feng replied.
"Where did you get it?" Su Xiaoli then asked.
"This is a gift from a friend. I've had it a few times and I think it's pretty good! I just have one bottle left, so I'll give it to you."
"There's only one bottle like this? You'd better drink it." Su Xiaoli gave in.
"It is precisely because there is only one bottle like this that I give it to you. After you finish drinking it, you can feel it and see if there are any changes in your brain." Tang Feng said.
When Su Xiaoli saw what he said, she stopped refusing and opened it and drank it.
"It's sweet! It's cool! It's quite delicious." After Su Xiaoli finished drinking, she tasted it carefully.
"Is there anything else?" Tang Feng looked at her and asked eagerly.
"No more." Su Xiaoli shook her head.
There was a hint of disappointment in Tang Feng's eyes.
After all, this bottle of wisdom potion cost 3,000 points!
If it has no effect, then he will suffer a big loss!
"What's wrong? Is it possible that you had other feelings when you drank?" Su Xiaoli asked with interest.
"No." Tang Feng shook his head.
He has never drunk this stuff, so naturally he dare not express his opinions easily. If the secret is exposed, it will definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.
"You can continue to rest! I'll talk about it after I finish practicing this word!" As soon as Su Xiaoli finished speaking, she became busy.
Tang Feng lay on the bed again and began to close his eyes and rest.
