Chapter 37 How can mathematics deceive people? It must be people who deceive people!
"Wait! Why are you asking? Who needs you to ask?" Wang Ye was not a fool. He knew that Tang Dong had no good intentions, so he hurriedly stopped him.
Tang Dong ignored him.
The more Wu Tianming and Wang Ye tried to stop him, the more he wanted to find out.
Maybe Wu Tianming and Wang Ye are covering for Luo Yao!
If Wu Tianming and Wang Ye were eliminated in this interview, he could be 100% sure of getting into the project.
After Tang Dong told Xia Qing about Luo Yao's situation, he thought the other party would thank him for the reminder.
But Xia Qing didn't expect him to say to her seriously, "Don't ask about Luo Yao's affairs from now on."
Don’t ask?!
What is going on!
"But, Professor Xia, Luo Yao..."
"Okay, don't you have anything else to do? If you don't want to attend the interview this afternoon, I can send someone else." Xia Qing was busy preparing for the upcoming meeting with the Semiconductor Alliance, but who knew that Tang Dong was still here telling tales.
Tang Dong came out of Xia Qing's office, unable to understand why Xia Qing wouldn't let him mention Luo Yao.
But soon, he figured it out.
Luo Yao must have dropped out of school, so Professor Xia Qing didn't want to mention him.
After Tang Dong came to the conclusion, he did not forget to tell Wu Tianming and Wang Ye.
After Wu Tianming and Wang Ye found out, they thought it was Xia Qing who told him, so they hurried to the Luo family's restaurant, only to find that the door was locked and even the sign was removed, as if they had been dreaming about eating there before.
"Boss Ye, it seems Santu is really gone." Wu Tianming felt a little disappointed. They had not been together for long, but Luo Yao left without a word, which did make Wu Tianming a little sad.
"This kid is such a fucking jerk! If he leaves, will Luo Zhu leave too?!"
"No wonder I couldn't contact Luo Zhu recently. I thought she was busy with her studies and didn't have time to check messages." Wang Ye, a rough man, rarely showed his depression at this time and squatted on the side of the road.
"Forget it, since Santu has left, let's arrange our affairs properly."
"I have an important interview this afternoon. I wonder if I can pass it?"
Wang Ye said angrily, "Pass! Must pass! I want to show Santu how good we are!"
"He actually left without saying goodbye. He's totally heartless! I've been so good to him!"
Wu Tianming found Wang Ye venting his anger amusing and asked, "Are you blaming Luo Zhu for leaving?"
"Alas, I'm heartbroken before I even fall in love. I feel so sad." Wang Ye sighed.
"Come on, stop pretending to be so affectionate and get ready for the afternoon interview. If you're feeling frustrated in love, then make the afternoon interview a priority."
Wu Tianming was too lazy to pay any more attention to Wang Ye and stood up to leave. However, before he had gone far, he heard Wang Ye howling, "Come back and help me up! My legs are numb from squatting!"
Time quickly came to the afternoon, and Xia Qing sent Wu Tianming and the other two to the sixth slope.
The three people who saw Liu Shangpo for the first time exclaimed collectively.
"Tech companies are indeed different from ordinary companies. The supporting facilities here are far superior to my dad's company!"
"I never thought I was a bumpkin, but today, I've truly witnessed the arrogance of Hua Ji."
"I have to work here! I have to get the internship today!"
Xia Qing brought them to an enclosed terrace on the slope of the sixth floor. There were several white chairs on the terrace. A tall man was sitting on one of the chairs reading a book, and a middle-aged man was sitting next to him.
The cover of "Newton Research" blocked the other person's face, and Wang Ye stretched his neck but still couldn't see what the other person looked like.
"The interviewer is over there, just follow me."
The three of them followed Xia Qing and walked up to the other party.
The person who was reading had not yet noticed that someone had arrived.
"Luo Yao, bring all the people for the interview." Peng Xun reminded Luo Yao from the side.
etc?!
Who was that person calling just now?!
The person reading slowly raised his head from behind the book, revealing faces that were extremely familiar to Wang Ye and the other two.
"Luo...Luo Yao?" Wu Tianming's mind went blank, and everything he had prepared for the interview disappeared completely at this moment.
"Let me introduce Luo Yao to you. He is the head of the chip laboratory and your interviewer this time." Peng Xun introduced Luo Yao.
Wang Ye looked at Luo Yao's familiar face, took a deep breath, and then spoke: "No, how did you become the head of the laboratory? And our interviewer? Is there a mistake?"
"what happened?"
"The world is changing too fast. Am I not keeping up with the pace?"
Wu Tianming even looked at Peng Xun standing beside him, thinking that he should be the interviewer.
Luo Yao was silent.
He knew that it was difficult to explain now, and that the matter of Pangu EDA could not be explained openly, so he reminded them, "Are you still interviewing?"
"Noodles, noodles! How do we noodles? You tell me." Wang Ye was a little nervous at first, but all the nervousness disappeared when he saw Luo Yao.
Is there anything better than seeing your classmates during an interview?!
Not at all, okay?
"I'll ask you some random questions and you guys will answer them."
"Okay, then go ahead!" Wang Ye winked at the other party happily. He thought Luo Yao would take care of himself, but it turned out that the other party was a block of wood and didn't know what it meant to let him go.
Luo Yao picked up the questions he had prepared earlier and handed them to the three of them.
Wang Ye took it and looked at it, and almost fainted.
[Prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers of the form 4k + 3, where k is an integer.]
As we all know, in mathematics, the fewer words in the problem, the bigger the problem.
Wang Ye and Wu Tianming were not good at mathematics, and they stared at each other in surprise when they saw the question. Instead, Tang Dong picked up the pen and started writing quickly.
He had originally doubted that Luo Yao was the interviewer, but thinking that Xia Qing and another person were around, Luo Yao couldn't play tricks, so he cooperated and did the questions.
Luo Yao noticed Wang Ye biting his pen and reminded him, "You can also write down your ideas if you don't know how to do it. I mainly look at the ideas."
Luo Yao believes that if a person's logic is fine, then he can still be trained, but if his logic is wrong, then it is not a question of whether to train him or not, he has to be retrained.
Luo Yao gave the three of them half an hour, and when the time was up, Luo Yao asked them to hand in their papers.
Tang Dong had already finished writing. He looked at Luo Yao with a smug look on his face and said, "I believe I can definitely satisfy you this time."
Luo Yao glanced at him with emotionless eyes and took his answer sheet.
Then, under Xia Qing's gaze, Wang Ye and Wu Tianming gritted their teeth and handed in their answer sheets.
They thought that after submitting their answers, they would just go back and wait for notification, but Luo Yao took what they wrote and started reading it.
Wu Tianming and Wang Ye became nervous instantly.
Announce the interview results on the spot?!
Do you have to be so socially dead?
Wu Tianming and Wang Ye felt that it was normal for companies on the market to ask people to go back and wait for notification.
Aren't you afraid of others' opinions if you announce the interview results in person?!
After a moment of anxiety, Luo Yao finally raised his head.
"You two have good logic, but your calculations are wrong. I can explain it to you in detail later."
Wu Tianming and Wang Ye were stunned. Does this mean that they passed the interview?
After Luo Yao finished speaking, he turned to Tang Dong and said, "You used the wrong theorem when solving the problem. You should actually use Fermat's Little Theorem, not Fermat's Big Theorem."
Tang Dong stood up excitedly: "Impossible! How could I have calculated it wrong!"
"First, we assume that there are only a finite number of primes of the form 4k + 3. We can list these primes and denote them by p1, p2, p3, ..., pk."
"Then, we consider the number N = 4p1p2p3...pk-1. N is obviously an integer of the form 4k+3, since it is 4k+3 minus 1. Now, we wish to prove that N is not a multiple of any known prime number p1, p2, p3, ... pk of the form 4k+3."
"We can use a special case of Fermat's little theorem: if p is a prime number and a is a positive integer, then a^(p-1) ≡ 1 (mod p). This theorem states that if a is not a multiple of p, the remainder of a^(p-1) divided by p must be 1."
“Then N≡(-1)^(p1-1)(-1)^(p2-1)(-1)^(p3-1)…(-1)^(pk-1)(mod p1p2p3…pk)…”
Luo Yao wrote on the paper as he spoke.
As he explained, Tang Dong's expression became more and more ugly.
Luo Yao's logic is very smooth and you can tell it's correct at first glance.
The middle part of the answer he just wrote was indeed a bit far-fetched.
But Tang Dong thought it was unimportant: "At least my answer is correct, which proves that I am not wrong!"
Luo Yao kindly explained the problem to him, but he didn't expect that the other party would be like a dead duck and refused to admit his mistake.
The people Luo Yao hates most are those who make mistakes but are unwilling to admit them. Mathematics has told him that Tang Dong is wrong, so why doesn’t he admit it!
How can mathematics deceive people?
It must be human to deceive others!
He looked at Tang Dong who was trying to get away with it and gradually became impatient.
"I was able to solve this problem using Fermat's Little Theorem in elementary school, and you actually used it incorrectly?"
Hearing this, Tang Dong's face became even uglier.
Can you do it in elementary school?
What a joke!
Xia Qing, Wu Tianming, and Wang Ye standing beside them were also stunned. They hadn't expected Luo Yao to speak so harshly.
"So what if the result you get is correct?" Luo Yao continued talking without stopping.
"Is the 5 million yuan you robbed from the bank the same as the 5 million yuan you earned through hard work?"
"Sorry, I'm not a consequentialist."
"On the surface it looks like justice, but in reality it's a fight for the right to speak. It's just you trying to gain hegemony over the discourse and think you're right."
“For a mature product, if the process is not perfect, how can the result be good?”
“You can cheat on a test, but it’s impossible when it comes to product development!”
“Customers will never pay for your mistakes.”
Luo Yao spoke softly, but every word he said touched the hearts of Peng Xun and Xia Qing.
Huaji's products are aimed at individual and corporate customers. People spend real money to enjoy the service, not a bad experience.
No matter how fancy the product looks on the surface, people still won’t buy it if the system logic doesn’t make sense.
Electronic consumer products are expensive in themselves, and the cost of trial and error is high. Once customers are cheated once, they will develop a resistance. It will be dozens of times more difficult to get them to buy next time than to get new customers to buy!
Thinking of this, Peng Xun nodded repeatedly.
In his opinion, Luo Yao spoke a little too directly, but he made his point very clear.
Not to mention that Luo Yao wouldn't accept someone like Tang Dong, if he met such a person during an interview, he would not accept him either.
If you don't even know what your work objectives are, are you joining the laboratory just for experience?
At this moment, Tang Dong turned his head and looked at Xia Qing angrily, saying, "Professor Xia, I think Luo Yao is targeting me!"
When Xia Qing heard this, he immediately felt that this person was beyond saving.
In any case, blaming the interviewer during an interview is a sign of low emotional intelligence.
Luo Yao also has low emotional intelligence, but he has a high IQ to back it up.
And everything was explained clearly by others.
The products developed by the chip laboratory will definitely be sold to customers, otherwise why would Huaji support a laboratory for no reason?
Are you bored to death?
Since it is a customer-oriented product, it is indeed necessary to pay attention to the process.
She didn't expect that after Luo Yao's explanation, Tang Dong still thought that the other party was targeting him.
Just like a little kid.
Such a person cannot be entrusted with important tasks.
Xia Qing shook her head and said, "I think what Luo Yao said is right. I also believe that in this scenario, the process is more important than the result. You came to Huaji to create products, not just academic reports."
"If scientific research results cannot be converted into practical applications, then why should Hua Ji support this project?"
"Tang Dong, come back with me and study for a few more years before coming back here."
Xia Qing spoke tactfully, but Tang Dong knew that he had failed the interview.
Tang Dong was unwilling to accept the fact that Luo Yao was better than him and could see farther than him.
Although he was angry, Tang Dong soon calmed down. He knew that he would have to stay in East China University of Technology for a while, and now was not the time to offend Xia Qing.
Seeing that Tang Dong had stopped talking, Xia Qing decided to take him back to school. When she asked about the interview results of Wu Tianming and Wang Ye, Luo Yao said, "They both passed."
"Then we'll go back to school first. Wu Tianming and Wang Ye will stay. From now on, you will follow Luo Yao's arrangements every day. I'll help you apply for leave from school."
After Xia Qing took Tang Dong away, Peng Xun took Wu Tianming and Wang Ye to apply for intern employee cards, and then handed them over to Luo Yao.
"Santu, I feel like I'm dreaming now! I don't even know how I passed the interview." Wang Ye held his precious intern employee card and was reluctant to put it down for a moment.
Wu Tianming, still in shock, said, "I really didn't expect the interviewer to be you. That Tang Dong kid even told me you dropped out of school!"
Wang Ye got angry when he heard this and cursed, "That kid can't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth! Good job eliminating him!"
"Actually, I'm not biased towards anyone. Your answers are indeed better than Tang Dong's. Although they're not perfect, there's nothing wrong with your thinking."
Wang Ye saw that Luo Yao didn't want to go back to the question of how he became an interviewer , so he stopped dwelling on it.
He joked, "Boss Santu, we are all members of your lab now. What should we research next?"
“Chip EDA software.”
"This is quite difficult. I heard from my dad that many medical devices now dare not use domestically produced chips for fear of problems."
"If we create EDA design software, will anyone use it?"
Luo Yao silently looked at his phone, which contained a text message from Rao Xueling.
"They will be there. You'll regret it if you don't use them." Luo Yao put the phone into her bag.
