From top stream to scholar

Lin Wei glanced at Xie Qing, "Junior also wants to study at Princeton University?"

"Uh..." Xie Qing smiled awkwardly. With his grades, it's really hard to say whether he can study at Princeton University.He wants to come, but is Princeton University willing to let him come?He thought he might hold Princeton back.

"Didn't I see that Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Yu are both studying at Princeton University? Besides, this is a sacred place for mathematics. I think Princeton University should be very good."

"Then you just want to study at Princeton University." Lin Wei smiled, "The environment is good, with a strong academic atmosphere, but if you yearn for a big city, you can try New York University, or Stanford University, etc. In Mathematics is also good, and in terms of prosperity, it must be much better than Princeton University.”

Xie Qing was silent for a while. These schools are all famous and famous schools. Whichever school he wants to go to, it is probably not easy to get into.

Professor Chen Yuan came, and Xie Qing got into the car.Lin Wei shook his head and smiled, opened the car door and let the professor enter the car first.

"Xiao Lin." Professor Chen Yuan fastened his seat belt and said to Lin Wei, "What does Wanzhou think? After graduation, should I go back to China?"

"The younger brother's idea should be to stay here in the United States for a few years first, and then return to China. I heard before that Princeton University has prepared to invite the younger brother to directly serve as a full professor and doctoral supervisor after graduation."

"Good thing." Professor Chen Yuan said with a smile, "He is smart, he knows that being a professor here for a few years can be gilded."

"Professor, you said that people like Junior Brother need to be gilded, don't I..."

Professor Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Your junior brother probably thinks a little differently from you." After finishing speaking, he didn't continue talking.

Lin Wei drove the car intently, while Xie Qing looked at the surrounding environment curiously. This was his first time in America.He was going to Princeton, the sacred place of mathematics, which really moved him a little.

"Lin Wei, give your junior brother a call." Professor Chen Yuan ordered, "Let him come out for dinner at night."

"Hey, the younger brother's family is also there, his sister and sister-in-law—do you want to call them out too?" Lin Wei asked Professor Chen Yuan politely.

"Call it out." Professor Chen Yuan thought for a while, since it is Yu Wanzhou's family, there is nothing wrong with calling it out.

"Okay, professor." Lin Wei nodded and continued driving.

Chen Yuan looked at Xie Qing behind and said, "Any thoughts about Princeton University?"

Xie Qing smiled awkwardly. Of course he has ideas about Princeton University, but it is not something he can get into if he wants to, such as his two senior brothers.Not to mention Yu Shen, he was also a monstrous character at Princeton University.Brother Lin, that is also a well-known math genius.Now he is also an associate professor at Princeton University, he—what kind of thing.Even I was not able to participate in the IMO competition that year, let alone enter Princeton University as a doctoral student.

How many people who study mathematics don't want to come to Princeton University?But not everyone has the opportunity to attend Princeton University.

I just hate that my IQ is too low to go to Princeton University.

"If you can publish a few SCI papers like Annals of Mathematics in the postgraduate stage, you still have the opportunity to study at Princeton University." Professor Chen Yuan said with a smile, "It depends on whether you can live up to your expectations."

"Forget it, I'll teach you to study for a Ph.D. here honestly."

Professor Chen Yuan was very angry by Xie Qing, "I don't have the backbone of your senior brother."

Lin Wei smiled and said, "Actually, it's not bad to study for a Ph.D. with you, Professor. If you hadn't insisted on driving me to Princeton University, I would have been a Ph.D. student with you too."

"What's the use of saying this now? If I knew it earlier, I should have let you study for a Ph.D. at Beijing University."

Lin Wei smiled, but did not speak.

The car came to Princeton and stopped at the hotel.Lin Wei brought Professor Chen Yuan and Xie Qing to the hotel, probably because Princeton University is a sacred place for mathematics.Almost every year, people go to Princeton University for pilgrimage, and Princeton University holds academic conferences every year. Scholars go there in an endless stream, and the hotel can accommodate so many people.

After completing the formalities and checking in, Lin Wei called Yu Wanzhou.

Yu Wanzhou who received the call said on the other end of the phone, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"The professor is here." Lin Wei said briefly, "I want you to come out for dinner tonight, are you free?"

"I'm free, of course I'm free!" If it's someone else, Yu Wanzhou may not be free, but if it's a professor, even if Yu Wanzhou isn't free, he must be free.

"That's good. By the way, I have already received your sister and sister-in-law. How is it with you?"

"It's okay, it's a little bit close, I have to continue to think about it." Yu Wanzhou sighed, what he was most afraid of was what he should do if he was stupid when he was bullied.

Thinking about it, it's really not easy to deal with.So he has to read more now, at least he can't get stuck, otherwise it will be a joke.

When Lin Wei sent him a message at night, Yu Wanzhou left the campus slowly.Many people greeted him, obviously, some even gray-haired old people asked Yu Wanzhou, "Yu, how are you preparing for your graduation debate?"

"It's okay, I won't disappoint everyone." Yu Wanzhou smiled and spoke to the group of people, and everyone nodded slightly in satisfaction.Since it can satisfy them, it is enough.

There seemed to be many more people arriving at Princeton University than he had imagined. Even when Yu Wanzhou left the campus of Princeton University, he saw Faltings standing in front of the Nassau Building.Yu Wanzhou came forward to greet Faltings, "Sir, long time no see."

Faltings still nodded indifferently and said, "Long time no see, Yu!"

Maybe Mr. Faltings has a little facial paralysis?Yu Wanzhou pondered that although he and Faltings did not see each other often, they could be regarded as acquaintances anyway.With this attitude, isn't it a bit too facial paralysis?

"Yu, how are you preparing?"

"Okay."

Faltings nodded slightly, "I haven't been back to Princeton University for a long time, and it's still the same here."

Yu Wanzhou had forgotten that this boss was also a professor at Princeton University, where he taught for many years, and finally returned to his own country, Germany.

As one of the top mathematicians, Faltings is well-deserved.

"Sir, do you want to have dinner together?"

"Okay." Faltings directly agreed to Yu Wanzhou without thinking, but Yu Wanzhou was a little caught off guard, thinking that the boss had already eaten, but he didn't expect that he hadn't.

The two walked out of Princeton University, and Faltins said, "Yu, maybe you should come to Bonn sometime."

"After this graduation defense is over, I will find time to go to Bonn." Yu Wanzhou responded to Faltings, what to do in Bonn, it is naturally to go to the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics, Bonn is the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics location.

Probably to give a lecture or something, "Mr. Faltins, I don't understand why I became the deputy director of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics?" It is really exciting to let him become the foreign deputy director of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics without reminding him.

"I sent you an email before, but you haven't responded, so we directly promoted you to the foreign deputy director. You are now the deputy director of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics, so you must go to the Max-Planck Mathematics Research Institute when you have time. Give a lecture." Faltins said calmly, "A person who joined the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics for more than a year and was promoted to deputy director has not been to the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics. The most surprising thing so far."

"Yu, let me tell you this. If you pass your graduation defense this time, we will consider promoting you as the first foreign director of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics." Faltins also disagreed with Yu Wanzhou. Speaking of other things, Yu Wanzhou's promotion to the director of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics seems to be just an announcement.

When they came to the dining room, Professor Chen Yuan, Lin Wei, Xie Qing and Yu Wanzhou's family members were already waiting. Yu Wanzhou briefly introduced, "Mr. Faltins, from the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics Director."

"This is Professor Chen Yuan, my professor when I was in college."

"Hello, Dr. Chen, you have taught a very good student." Faltings said in a deep voice, "This is a very wonderful thing."

"Thank you, Mr. Faltings." Professor Chen Yuan smiled and shook hands with Faltings.Then Yu Wanzhou introduced, "Lin Wei, associate professor of Princeton University, you should know him."

"Mr. Faltings, long time no see." Lin Wei greeted Faltings with a smile.

"Lin, you are still the same." Faltins agreed with Lin Wei and nodded slightly to him.

"Sir, please sit down." After everyone sat down, they chatted about academic issues while eating.Yu Wanzhou's family members couldn't get in the way either. Yu Chuwei was pulled by Yu Wanzhou's side and refused to let go.Yu Wanzhou smiled and hugged Yu Chuwei, then chatted with Faltins.

"Yu, this is?"

"My nephew, isn't he cute?" Yu Wanzhou smiled and pinched Yu Chuwei's face.

"It looks very smart, and maybe he can become an outstanding mathematician in the future." Faltings paused and said, "I believe that the surname Yu is a noble surname in mathematics."

"..." Professor Chen Yuan was a little speechless, Lin Wei smiled and did not speak.

Yu Wanzhou was a little embarrassed. It's not a day or two since foreigners are superstitious about bloodlines and nobility.Yu Wanzhou's name, in the eyes of Chinese people, the surname Yu is just an ordinary name.However, in the eyes of foreign people, Yu is a noble surname in mathematics. In the future, people with the surname Yu will become princes of mathematics like Yu Wanzhou.
