Chapter 96: Tang Feng Openly Refuses the Invitation of a Tycoon! (Part 1/2)
Just as Tang Feng was signing autographs for the tycoons, several uninvited guests arrived from outside.
“Mr. Qiu!” Gao Mingzhou and Lin Zhiyuan greeted the newcomers.
“I’ve seen the publication you issued. I never expected that the mathematics department of Jingcheng University could produce someone who could prove the Riemann hypothesis. I heard these papers were written by a freshman from the math department. Mr. Gao, could you introduce me to this freshman?” the visitor stated his purpose.
“Mr. Qiu, your timing couldn’t be better. He is the author of those papers,” Gao Mingzhou pointed at Tang Feng not far away.
Tang Feng stepped forward to greet the visitor.
Gao Mingzhou then introduced the guest to everyone.
Only then did Tang Feng learn that the elderly man before him was the head of the mathematics department at Tsinghua University, the world-renowned mathematician, Academician Qiu Gang.
“Are those papers in ‘Mathematical Monthly’ really written by you?” Qiu Gang looked at Tang Feng with disbelief in his eyes.
“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “Genuine and authentic.”
“Amazing! Truly amazing! Mr. Gao, Mr. Lin, your school has found a treasure!” Qiu Gang couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
His tone was filled with envy.
Gao Mingzhou and Lin Zhiyuan exchanged smiles.
Tang Feng was indeed a treasure.
And could be considered the greatest talent Jingcheng University had recruited since its establishment!
No one could surpass him!
Recruiting such a talent for the mathematics department of Jingcheng University was truly a fortune for the university!
“Your name is Tang Feng, right? Would you be interested in transferring to our Tsinghua University’s mathematics department? I normally don’t take on students, but I can make an exception for you! As long as you’re willing, you can be my student, and the only one at that!” Qiu Gang directly extended an olive branch.
“Mr. Qiu, is it appropriate for you to poach talent so openly?” Gao Mingzhou’s expression showed some displeasure.
“What’s inappropriate about it! With his exceptional talent in mathematics, if I personally guide him, he’s bound to achieve even greater success!” Qiu Gang appeared nonchalant.
“Mr. Qiu, I admit your mathematical skills are high! But Tang Feng is already a student of Jingcheng University. Isn’t it somewhat indecent to do this?” Lin Zhiyuan suppressed his anger and questioned.
“What if it’s indecent? I’ve always been like this. You also know why I chose to teach at Tsinghua University! I want to make its mathematics department the best in the country, even the world! And this goal will soon be achieved!” Qiu Gang was full of arrogance.
Gao Mingzhou and Lin Zhiyuan remained silent.
The mathematics department of Tsinghua University, compared to ten years ago, had indeed undergone earth-shattering changes.
Originally, the ranking of Jingcheng University’s mathematics department was far ahead of Tsinghua University’s.
But now, the gap in the rankings had significantly narrowed.
If this trend continues, the mathematics department of Tsinghua University might actually surpass others and become the top-ranked department in the country!
“Tang Feng, I have high hopes for you! I believe under my guidance, your mathematical skills will improve even faster! You don’t need to waste your time here!” Qiu Gang continued to persuade him.
Tang Feng remained silent.
Gao Mingzhou and Lin Zhiyuan, seeing his expression, became more solemn.
They were well aware that if Tang Feng agreed to transfer, it would be an unbearable loss for Jingcheng University!
After a while, Tang Feng said to Qiu Gang, “Mr. Qiu, thank you for your kindness. I am a student of the mathematics department at Jingcheng University, now and in the future.”
“Is that your answer?” Qiu Gang looked at him, his face showing no change in expression.
“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded.
“Very well!” Qiu Gang huffed coldly and left!
Gao Mingzhou and Lin Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tang Feng, I don’t know what to say. If you’re willing, I can apply to the school to offer you my position as head of the department! I believe that under your leadership, the mathematics department of Jingcheng University can achieve even greater glory!” Gao Mingzhou offered.
“That’s not necessary!” Tang Feng hurriedly shook his head and said, “Although I have achieved some results in mathematics, I am still far from you. I am looking forward to learning from you.”
“Tang Feng, you are so young and yet so humble. I can’t even imagine what achievements you will reach in the future!” Lin Zhiyuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
Tang Feng smiled somewhat sheepishly.
“Qiu Gang’s mathematical skills are indeed very high. The International Mathematicians Association once ranked him, and he is the only Chinese mathematician to enter the top ten. If you became his student, you could indeed gain more resources,” Gao Mingzhou said.
“Mr. Gao, let me reiterate, I am a student of Jingcheng University,” Tang Feng said earnestly.
Gao Mingzhou’s eyes were slightly red.
Tang Feng’s actions truly moved him.
“Tang Feng, you haven’t signed my book yet!” One of the editors changed the subject upon seeing this scene.
“Coming!” Tang Feng quickly walked over.
The atmosphere became much more joyful.
After signing, Tang Feng said to Gao Mingzhou, “Mr. Gao, I have some good news to tell you. I was planning to wait a while longer before saying.”
“What good news?” Gao Mingzhou was instantly interested.
Lin Zhiyuan and the others also perked up their ears, afraid to miss anything.
“I have solved the NP-complete problem,” Tang Feng answered.
“What?” Gao Mingzhou’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this.
Lin Zhiyuan and the editors were also shockingly surprised.
Tang Feng had anticipated their reaction and said nothing, just quietly watching them.
“Tang Feng, are you serious? You really solved the NP-complete problem?” Gao Mingzhou’s voice rose in excitement.
“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “However, to save time, I directly used some formulas when solving the problem. I’m currently working on deriving these formulas so that others can verify them when published.”
“Tang Feng, I don’t even know what to say! The difficulty of the NP-complete problem is even greater than that of the Riemann hypothesis! I never dreamed that you would conquer two world-class mathematical problems in such a short time! I…” Gao Mingzhou was somewhat incoherent.
This was also understandable.
Mainly because Tang Feng’s achievements were simply too astonishing!
“Tang Feng, where is the manuscript for solving this problem?” Lin Zhiyuan asked.
“The manuscript is in the drawer of my dormitory,” Tang Feng answered.
“Could you go back to your dormitory and bring the manuscript over for us all to see?” Lin Zhiyuan negotiated.
“Mr. Lin, with all due respect, even if I bring the manuscript now, you wouldn’t be able to verify it. Wait until I write out the derivation process of those formulas, then you can verify it,” Tang Feng hesitated but eventually spoke up.
