284 National TV Channel Interview, Can I Not Go?
“Thank you very much, Luo Feng.” Christine was incoherent. “I… I didn’t actually do anything… I really, thank you.”
When she was helping Luo Feng, Christine just wanted to learn something.
Now that she had become the second author, she was like a golden bowl that had fallen from the sky, smashing Christine until she was dizzy.
At this moment, a phone call interrupted their conversation.
“Good news, Luo Feng! The people from the National TV Channel want to interview you. They want to know when you’re free.” Ai Tingya called. Her happy voice was like a little kingfisher.
“National TV Channel? I don’t have time.” Luo Feng rejected decisively.
He was very busy and was not prepared to develop in mathematics.
He had already wasted a lot of time writing this thesis. He had almost put aside all his company matters and spent all day studying.
If not for Xie Yan and Cui Kun’s help, the company would have collapsed after losing contact with the CEO for so long.
After bidding Christine farewell, Luo Feng returned to the large flat.
“You’re back?” Ai Tingya was wearing an apron and holding a spatula. “I forgot to tell you to come home for dinner. I didn’t expect you to be back on time.”
Luo Feng looked at her busy back and recalled that Ai Tingya had been working harder than him recently.
While she was busy with the company, she also had to take care of her studies. She was also in charge of Luo Feng’s three meals a day. It could be said that it was a continuous cycle.
Originally, Luo Feng had asked her to order takeout, but Ai Tingya was worried that it was not nutritious. She was clearly not good at it, so she watched the tutorials and changed the way she cooked. Most of the time, Luo Feng was so engrossed in reading that he forgot to eat. She was not angry and silently changed to fresh food.
This silly girl might not even know what the thesis topic was, but she still silently protected Luo Feng and resisted the pressure without saying a word.
Now that Luo Feng was finally free, he naturally had to accept Ai Tingya’s work and let her rest for a few days.
Therefore, Luo Feng really did not have time to be interviewed.
“Luo Feng! I heard that you rejected the interview on the National TV Channel?” The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty and Dean Qi broke in and rushed in front of Luo Feng.
They actually came looking for him at home…
“You solved Hodge’s conjecture! It’s such an honor, don’t be so humble!” The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty was anxious.
“That’s right. Your honor is something that many people can’t achieve in their entire lives!” Dean Qi also joined in.
It was nothing more than giving Luo Feng an additional degree, but he was still from the Finance Faculty. Of course, he had to fight for Luo Feng’s honor.
Luo Feng understood what the two of them were thinking. If he accepted the interview, the school would also be glorious.
Such top-notch Achievement was also rare since the establishment of the school even though it was Oxford. They definitely had to seize the opportunity!
“Dean, it’s not that I don’t want to cooperate with the school, but look at this…” Luo Feng helplessly pointed at the information piled on the coffee table. It was all sent from Shanghai.
The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty and Dean Qi also had bitter expressions.
If it were any other student, they could use their status as elders and the Dean to suppress them. However, if it was Luo Feng… Who would dare to be arrogant in front of him?
“How about this? We’ll communicate with them and try to reduce the interview time as much as possible. It won’t take up too much of your time.” The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty said, “Get this interview done. I’ll arrange the thesis defense for you next week. How about that?”
“I should be the one arranging the thesis defense, right?” President Qi said.
No matter how the two Deans fought, this condition tempted Luo Feng.
It could save a lot of time by saving the cumbersome graduation process for Normal students.
“Alright! I’ll fully support the school’s work!” Luo Feng patted his chest and promised, looking very obedient.
“Kid, you’re still pretending to be innocent after taking advantage of us,” the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty scolded jokingly.
After settling the matter, the two of them returned home.
When he reached the door, President Qi was still conflicted. “Luo Feng is still a student of the Finance Faculty after all. The thesis defense should be arranged by us.”
The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty rolled his eyes at him. “Luo Feng’s graduation thesis is Hodge’s conjecture. Is there anyone in the Finance Faculty who can judge it?”
“You don’t have anyone either,” Dean Qi said. “Who has the right to judge Luo Feng’s thesis?”
“…” The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty scratched his head.
Come to think of it, he really didn’t. At least he couldn’t do it himself. Professor Vincent had also gotten over it…
He scratched his head, feeling that there was a piece of space above his head. In the past, he was always worried that the students would not be talented. Now that the students were too powerful, it was also a headache.
…
The next day, Yuan Yu from the national television station arrived at the interview spot on time.
“Teacher Luo arranged to meet here?” Yuan Yu was wearing a professional set of clothes. Her neat short hair made him look even more capable. She was wearing eight-centimeter high heels and looked very imposing.
She, who was dressed as an upper-class elite, looked at the sign above her head in confusion—Good Me Milk Tea Shop.
Yuan Yu, who had seen all kinds of interview subjects, was confused. Why was it a little different from what she had imagined?
She was in charge of science and technology news at the national television station, so she was quite famous. This time, when she heard that someone in the country had solved Hodge’s conjecture, the higher-ups immediately assigned this scope to the professional Yuan Yu, which showed how important this matter was.
Even though Yuan Yu was not from the Mathematics Faculty, she had also heard of Hodge’s conjecture.
Not only did she harden her heart and read basic mathematics-related books, she also consulted a few famous scholars in the country to prepare for this interview. She tried her best to have an academic exchange with Luo Feng.
For such a serious interview, Yuan Yu was thinking about the classroom, the laboratory, or even a café. However, the milk tea shop in front of her made her feel a little confused.
“Teacher Luo, your mentality is still quite young…” Yuan Yu smiled bitterly.
She had made many preparations. Due to time constraints, she had only briefly investigated Luo Feng.
In Yuan Yu’s understanding, people who could make major contributions were definitely very old. Academic work required time and experience after all.
It was not an exaggeration to describe him as “respectable”.
Therefore, as soon as Yuan Yu entered the door, she only cared about looking for the older people.
“Looks like we came too early.” Yuan Yu did not see the person she had imagined, so she said to the cameraman, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
The two of them walked to the street and looked around. They didn’t see anyone who met their expectations walking over.
Yuan Yu waited for more than 20 minutes and kept looking at her watch. 15 minutes had passed since the agreed time. Why was he not here yet?
“Did he forget about it while doing research?” Yuan Yu thought in a dilemma. “Or did he stand me up? I heard that Teacher Luo Feng didn’t want to be interviewed at first… Could it be that the appointment at the milk tea shop was a secret message to dissuade us?”
She looked at the impatient cameraman beside her and wondered if she should call him.
A beautiful female reporter and a man carrying a bulky camera stood at the door for almost half an hour, attracting the attention of many people.
“Forget it, I’ll give him a call!”
