Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 382 - 135 This Reporter is Too Nasty...

Qiao Yu was busy on WeChat, and before he realized it, more and more people began to care about him.

Elder Yuan, Old Xue, Senior Brother Chen, several professors from Yanbei and Huaqing University who added him on WeChat, and his group of friends...

They all saw him in the news and used their own ways to congratulate him.

For example, his group of friends relied mainly on playful jealousy...

Xia Keke also sent him clips from the news, and Qiao Yu watched them from start to finish. I have to say, the central media is indeed quite professional when it comes to praising people. They didn’t emphasize the professional stuff he talked about; they simply listed the names of the big shots in the audience listening to his report...

A bunch of Fields Medalists sat below, and that feeling instantly came up.

At least those who know what the Fields Medal represents should be able to get that feeling.

So Qiao Yu naturally forwarded this video to his Weibo account.

Xu Shu no longer reminded him, but with such a glorious matter, Qiao Yu didn’t mind promoting himself.

The persona of being impressive despite my flaws is slowly being built this way.

Mainly because fewer people watch the seven o’clock news now; otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a hassle.

After posting, Qiao Yu routinely waited on Weibo for a few minutes.

This was an opportunity to see if he had more followers who admired him or those who criticized him.

Qiao Yu liked his critics, especially those who were skillful enough to hit the nail on the head. Because their doubt truly motivated him to move forward.

Just like Yu Wei, who always wanted to compete with him. Whenever he felt slack, just thinking about a rich kid catching up from behind would fill Qiao Yu with motivation. Unfortunately, this rich kid, much like his name, didn’t last long and conceded before the fight even started...

It’s not interesting.

He originally thought Yu Wei could become his lifelong rival... Actually, to be honest, Yu Wei is better suited for studying mathematics. With his favorable family conditions, no worries of life, a brother to inherit the family business, he could live for his interests forever.

Simply a born mathematician. The only pity is that by the age of sixteen, he still couldn’t understand some simple papers, directly shattering his confidence.

Qiao Yu thought to himself.

He even seriously considered Gong Jiatao’s final hypothesis in the friend group.

By the time they graduate, he should be able to become a professor, but he’s not sure if he’s qualified to take on graduate students. Of course, Qiao Yu isn’t interested in taking in three big guys, and actually finds it quite embarrassing.

However, if Qiao Xi really can keep up with undergraduate courses in mathematics...

Being a mentor to his mother, hmm... this seems feasible.

In the future, if they disagree at home, he could call Qiao Xi to the office and critique her on homework or papers. Just thinking about it makes life seem fair and perfect.

Sure enough, after posting the recording of the seven o’clock news on Weibo, it immediately stirred up a bunch of people who presumably never watched the seven o’clock news.

"Fake? Let me think, I don’t recall any competition champion going directly to an academic conference? What’s up? Now, the Olympic Competition directly tasks millennium problems?"

"Damn! Geometric Langlands Conjecture? A true sixteen-year-old genius!"

"Fields Medal support? Qiao Yu? There really seems to be something off here? Is this a real genius this time?"

"This big shot is seriously biased, needs to catch up on Language studies!"

"Really, it’s real, I just went to the central media’s website to watch the replay. Brothers, there’s nothing to criticize here, the wind is tight, pull out fast!"

...

Qiao Yu casually browsed a few comments and closed Weibo.

Mainly because there was not much of interest.

Constructive viewpoints were not many.

Of course, this is mainly because the conference was a bit high-end. Those who didn’t understand didn’t know how prestigious it was to give an opening report at such a conference, and those who did understand didn’t know from which angle to criticize.

Even though Qiao Yu’s teacher is Tian Yanzhen and has an unmistakably close relationship with Yuan Zhengxin, both of whom are truly influential academicians. But neither Tian Yanzhen nor Yuan Zhengxin were on the organizing committee of this conference.

Not to mention, the influence of these two is mainly in Huaxia.

Just in the first row shown on the seven o’clock news, there were five Fields Medalists given screen coverage.

There was also Peter Schultz, hailed as a genius of western mathematics; just relying on the face of Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin wouldn’t have drawn such a crowd.

Not to mention, anyone with a slight understanding of the Langlands Program knows how abstract it is. Not even average mathematicians would recklessly choose this direction.

Robert Langlands himself needs no mention.

Pierre Derini, who studied a part of the Langlands Program, even proved a part of the Weil Conjecture to win the Fields Medal. He was one of those in the audience during Qiao Yu’s report.

Laurent Laforgue, for his contributions in the Langlands Correspondence, especially in high-dimensional Langlands Correspondence, won the Fields Medal.

Richard Taylor, whose research in the field of modular forms and Galois representation is widely recognized, is also one of the big names in mathematics, previously held a position at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, and subsequently went to Stanford University.

There are other such mathematicians, like Peter Schultz, Edward Frenkel, Michael Hase, Danis... Mathematicians researching this stuff are mostly at the forefront of mathematics now.
