Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 395: Going to MIT Together
The Goldbach conjecture holds an extraordinary affection in the hearts of the Chinese people.
For the Chinese people, it also has extraordinary significance.
Therefore, when the staff of the science and technology department received the information from Chen Zhou's application for the Goldbach conjecture as a research topic, their faces were filled with shock.
He didn't think Chen Zhou was being arrogant, he just felt that this moment came too suddenly.
To this end, he took all the materials submitted by Chen Zhou to Li Zhenbang for instructions.
Li Zhenbang is now the person in charge of the special project of the national "Thousand Talents Plan" in the science and technology department.
When he saw the information, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Hey, I was right. This kid has really started to work on the Goldbach conjecture..."
When the staff member heard what Li Zhenbang said, he subconsciously asked, "Director, did you know that he was going to apply for this project?"
Li Zhenbang shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. I'm just guessing. According to his research progress, he should have reached this point."
The staff listened carefully, but did not quite understand what Li Zhenbang meant.
Although he is a staff member of the science and technology department, when it comes to mathematical conjectures, basically no one knows anyone else.
I only know the name, but I have no idea what it looks like.
Therefore, he totally didn't understand what Li Zhenbang said about the research progress.
Li Zhenbang glanced at the staff member who seemed to understand and smiled softly, "Okay, leave this material here for me. I'll take a look first."
"Okay, Chief." The staff member responded and prepared to leave.
" Wait a moment ." Li Zhenbang called him again and reminded him, "I'll give you the materials first, but don't stop the subsequent procedures. Approve this project as soon as possible."
The staff member was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Do you mean that the material review and subsequent project approval should be done simultaneously?"
Li Zhenbang nodded: "That's about it, just don't delay his school. Isn't he going to MIT soon?"
"Oh, okay, Chief, I understand."
When the staff left Li Zhenbang's office, they were still secretly wondering in their hearts, why is Director Li so concerned about Chen Zhou's affairs?
Director Li has never treated any other candidate selected for the "Ten Thousand Talents Plan" like this...
After the staff member left, Li Zhenbang began to look at the project application materials submitted by Chen Zhou.
As he looked at it, Li Zhenbang smiled and shook his head. The mathematics written here were correct, and they all looked good, and the handwriting was also nice.
As for the content, I can't really understand it.
Generally speaking, applications for projects reviewed by science and technology departments will be reviewed by experts.
But Li Zhenbang believes that there is no need to go through this process and waste time for Chen Zhou's project application.
Originally, there had been no news about Chen Zhou since he graduated from Yan University.
After the last project was completed, it was left vacant for such a long time .
Li Zhenbang thought that Chen Zhou had forgotten about the "Ten Thousand Talents Plan".
Now people take the initiative to apply for a big project, which must have been after a long time and careful consideration.
So what's the problem here? Why don't we just quickly get the funding in place?
That's why Li Zhenbang gave those instructions just now.
Of course, not everyone trusts Chen Zhou as much as Li Zhenbang.
It can even be said that we are looking forward to Chen Zhou's project application.
The new topic that Chen Zhou applied for, which was about the Goldbach conjecture, quickly spread in the science and technology department .
Also spreading was Li Zhenbang's approach to this topic.
Naturally, Li Zhenbang's behavior caused dissatisfaction among many people.
Among them is Li Zhenbang’s immediate superior, who is also the third in command of the science and technology department.
"Zhu Haichang, did your Director Li approve Chen Zhou's project without any review?" When asking this, Song Shangyi stared at Zhu Haichang.
The third-in-command of the science and technology department is looking forward to getting an answer that satisfies him.
I also hope that this capable subordinate of Li Zhenbang can take the initiative to provide evidence.
However, what Song Shangyi did not expect was.
Zhu Haichang, who has always been good at observing people's words and expressions, remained calm this time and acted neither arrogant nor humble.
Zhu Haichang didn't say much, but just recounted what Li Zhenbang had done in a factual manner.
As for what Song Shangyi wanted, he didn't have it in the first place, so naturally he couldn't give it to him.
Moreover, even if he really had it, it would be impossible for him to take it out.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to climb up the big tree of Song Shangyi, but he always feels that the person behind Li Zhenbang is more reliable.
After Li Zhenbang’s last teaching, Zhu Haichang now feels that there is someone behind Li Zhenbang.
Especially this time, he felt that someone instructed Li Zhenbang to do this.
He didn't think that Li Zhenbang would do something that would give rise to criticism just because of his personal admiration for Chen Zhou.
Song Shangyi asked a few more questions without giving up.
But Zhu Haichang always adheres to the attitude of seeking truth from facts, is impartial and only speaks the facts.
Song Shangyi had no choice but to let Zhu Haichang go out first.
Although he failed to win over Zhu Haichang, Song Shangyi felt that he could make a move on Li Zhenbang based on this incident.
Thinking about how Li Zhenbang had been so strict in blocking the project approval before, and how he dared to do this now, Song Shangyi was furious.
Zhu Haichang breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the office.
It is really difficult to seek truth from facts and give up what I am best at, observing people's expressions...
However, the final result surprised Zhu Haichang.
He bet right!
Chen Zhou didn't know that his project application had caused so much trouble in the science and technology department.
He just felt that the speed of project approval this time was indeed a bit fast.
However, this is only a notification that the project application has been approved.
It will take some time for the specific funds to be allocated.
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi stayed in Yanjing for 4 days.
Chen Zhou took care of the project application, and Yang Yi also dealt with her own affairs.
Then Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi made an appointment with Peng Jia and others, as well as Zhao Qiqi and others, for a small gathering.
After all, when they return from Yanjing this time, they will pack their bags and head to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to start their study abroad career.
It will be even more difficult to meet at that time.
However, what Chen Zhou didn't expect was that Peng Jia and others wanted to call Dean Yang as well.
It is said that the team members of the particle accelerator experiment project have reunited.
Chen Zhou naturally had no objection, but he was worried that Dean Yang would not come.
After all, Chen Zhou still needs to have a good talk with Dean Yang about the issue of routine and anti-routine.
Regardless of whether he will wait until he returns to China in the future, the fact that Dean Yang tricked him into doing a physics project is an absolute fact.
This needs to be discussed in detail.
The result was, just as Chen Zhou thought, Dean Yang said he had something to do and did not come.
Chen Zhou said with a hint of regret: "It seems that I can only wait until next time I return to China to have a good reunion with Dean Yang..."
After returning home from Yanjing, I only stayed for one day.
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi set out again for Shanghai.
They plan to take a direct flight from Shanghai to Boston.
There are only two cities in China that have direct flights to Boston.
One was the one Chen Zhou had taken last time, departing from Yanjing.
The other one took off from Shanghai.
It is worth mentioning that the direct flights from these two places to Boston are all operated by Hainan Airlines.
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi went to Yenching University hand in hand, just like they did two years ago.
This time, the two will go to MIT together.
