From university academician to chief academician

December 15, 2024!

Ye Fei walked in from outside the office, holding an invitation with a red cover in his hand.

"What?" Tan Lingling sat at her desk and looked at Ye Fei who walked in with a smile: "My ex-girlfriend is getting married. Can I send you a wedding invitation?"

Ye Fei shook his head funny and said: "What? It's an invitation letter to the annual meeting of the Number Theory Association."

Tan Lingling looked at Han Dong who was sitting in front and said, "Han Dong, why have I never seen you receive an invitation letter to the Annual Meeting of the Number Theory Association?"

Han Dong said in a low voice without looking back: "The Number Theory Association said that I am married and not suitable to play. Only single people are suitable to play."

But I felt bitter in my heart. I wanted to accept it, but the Number Theory Association wouldn't give it to me!

He did know that every year, newly promoted individual members would receive invitations to the annual meeting, only this time.

After becoming an honorary member, you can attend the annual meeting every year.

Tan Lingling pursed her lips and didn't believe Han Dong's words. Why, a bunch of old men went to a health care center!

I don’t even see if I can do it.

She looked at Ye Fei with a smile and said, "Can I bring my family members to the annual party?"

"Okay." Ye Fei said, "But my parents definitely don't want to go."

"Me!" Tan Lingling said with a smile, "I can pretend to be your girlfriend."

Ye Fei glanced at her, then shook his head and said, "Then I'd better not go."

"What?" Tan Lingling puffed her lips and said unconvinced: "Isn't it enough for me to pretend to be your girlfriend?"

Ye Fei said helplessly: "Sister Tan, I'm afraid my brother-in-law will beat me to death."

"Besides, when you and I go out, others treat us as siblings. How can we be boyfriend and girlfriend?"

During this period, Ye Fei read a lot of literature about the ABC conjecture and already had many ideas about the ABC conjecture.

The ABC conjecture has actually been basically proven by someone, but the most critical link is still missing.

As long as Ye Fei breaks through this key point, he can prove the ABC conjecture.

Ye Fei took a look at the system.

[Task: Prove ABC Conjecture (80%)

Reward: 1000 points]

"Only 20% is left, but now my thinking is stuck. It's difficult to move forward."

January 1, 2025!

Ye Fei took a plane to Chang'an City to attend the annual meeting of the Number Theory Association.

The headquarters of the Number Theory Association is located at Northwest University, so the annual annual meeting and most of the Number Theory Association activities are held in Chang'an.

Sofitel Chang'an!

Ye Fei climbed to the third floor of the Sofitel Hotel and came to the door of a private room. After the doorman read the invitation, he walked inside.

The large private room of more than 500 square meters is splendidly decorated, with a red carpet on the floor and crystal clear crystal lamps hanging from the top.

The circular tables are arranged neatly, with numbers posted on each position.

Ye Fei found his seat and sat down according to the number on the invitation.

The people at the same table with him were all middle-aged people in their forties or fifties. There were almost no young people in the audience. Ye Fei, a young man sitting among them, looked very awkward.

It's like a flower stuck on cow dung, so bright.

After Ye Fei sat down, he nodded friendly to the people at the same table and said hello.

When they saw Ye Fei, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.

They had never seen Ye Fei in the past.

A middle-aged man next to him looked at Ye Fei and asked: "Hello, I am Kang Jiachen, a professor of mathematics at Southwest University. Who are you?"

"Hello!" Ye Fei said: "I am Ye Fei, a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Zhonghu University."

"Ye Fei?" A trace of doubt flashed in Kang Jiachen's eyes. He had never heard of this name before, and he was also a lecturer. Almost all the people who could attend the annual meeting were professors!

Even though Ye Fei proved the continuum hypothesis and was in the news, there are still many people in the mathematics community who have never heard of him.

He is not Wu Dalang, the cuckold king who has been famous throughout the ages.

Oh, yes, he doesn’t have a girlfriend, and there is no such thing as a cuckold.

"Are you an individual member?"

"Yeah!" Ye Feidao: "Yes."

"This year's?"

"Yes!"

Kang Jiachen secretly calculated that he must have done significant research in number theory to become an individual member at such a young age.

And to have major research at such a young age is definitely not due to his personal abilities, so there is only one possibility: he has an incredibly powerful teacher.

His teacher took him to study together, so he was qualified to become an individual member of the Number Theory Association.

You can allow your students to become individual members, which are at least honorary members or above.

Such people are giants in the world of mathematics.

Kang Jiachen thought: "I know every honorary member. I'll ask him."

Kang Jiachen asked with a smile: "Who is your teacher?"

"Lu Yishan!"

Kang Jiachen frowned for a moment, who is this person? I have never heard of him!

"Isn't your teacher an honorary member of the Number Theory Association?"

Ye Fei shook his head slightly: "My teacher is Professor Lu Yishan from Zhonghu University. He studies set theory and algebra."

Kang Jiachen asked: "Honorary member of the Algebra Society?"

Number theory and algebra are the two most mainstream studies in mathematics, and they are also the most studied mathematicians. Therefore, number theory and algebra have their own associations.

There is a Number Theory Society for number theory, and an Algebraic Society for algebra.

He is not an honorary member of the Number Theory Association, but an honorary member of the Algebraic Association. They are also very powerful, and they are all big names in mathematics.

Ye Fei thought for a moment and shook his head: "It seems not."

Ye Fei had never heard that Lu Yishan was an honorary member of the Algebra Association.

"But he is a member of the Avengers!"

Kang Jiachen was stunned: "A member of the Women's Federation?"

Kang Jiachen sneered: "What is the use of this membership?"

The Women's Federation is an association of women, and his teacher is a woman?

Well, it doesn’t matter if you’re a woman, but being a member of the Women’s Federation doesn’t help with math, right?

“The discount for watching the Avengers premiere is huge, do you think it’s big?”

Ye Fei is a fan of the Avengers. Every time an Avengers movie comes out, he goes to the cinema to watch it.

Kang Jiachen looked confused. There must be something wrong with this person's brain. I asked you about the Algebra Association. You told me about the Avengers. What is the Avengers?

Did you fight with your father?

The person next to Kang Jiachen whispered something into his ear, and Kang Jiachen suddenly realized that Lu Yishan was him.

He was confused: "How did Ye Fei become an individual member? His teacher is just an ordinary mathematics professor!"

At this time, he saw the chairman of the Number Theory Association walking over. Everyone at the table stood up and said hello: "Hello, chairman!"

When Ye Fei saw everyone standing up, he also stood up and said hello: "Hello, Chairman!"

"Hello!" the chairman smiled.

He looked at Ye Fei again and said with a smile: "You must be Ye Fei, I am very fond of you!"

The Academy of Sciences is paying attention to Ye Fei, so he must come to say hello to Ye Fei and build a good relationship. It will be good for him.

"Chairman, you're welcome." Ye Fei smiled.

"Eat well and have fun today." He raised his eyebrows at Ye Fei and said, "Don't leave until after the annual meeting. I'll bring a bunch of old men to start a small business for you."

"Open a small stove?" Ye Fei was stunned, what kind of small stove?

Everyone around him looked at Ye Fei with envy. Look, how kind the chairman is to him!

Opening a small stove, the chairman has not done this for many years.

It seems that he likes this young man very much!

"Okay, I'm going to get busy."

The chairman nodded to the people present, then turned and left.

The way everyone looked at Ye Fei was wrong, like a wolf staring at a little white sheep, their eyes shining.

The chairman came to greet Ye Fei in person and even tried to make some small fuss for Ye Fei. The relationship between the chairman and Ye Fei was very hard!

The chairman is the top manager of the Number Theory Association and usually only talks to some honorary members.

Group members and individual members have almost no access to him.

Even with the thick legs of the chairman, he has not yet taken off in the Number Theory Association.

Looking further, to be the chairman of the Number Theory Association is not an ordinary person in the mathematics world.

This is equivalent to having such a big and thick leg as the chairman, who is soaring all the way in the mathematics world without getting back.

Kang Jiachen asked tentatively: "Are you familiar with the chairman?"

Ye Fei said with a smile: "You saw it too!"

Kang Jiachen suddenly realized it and said: "I understand, I understand!"

Looks familiar.

Ye Fei was speechless, you know nothing.

This is the first time I have met the chairman today. I don’t even know why the chairman knows me.

After that, Kang Jiachen took out his three-inch tongue and licked Ye Fei wildly.

Although I can't lick the chairman, I can still lick Ye Fei!

As long as I lick Ye Fei so well and Ye Fei gets to know the chairman well, sooner or later I will be able to lick the chairman too.

After licking the chairman to my satisfaction, I will reach the peak of my life.

There is always a group of people in academia who rely on connections to get to the top.

There are such people in every field, not just academia.

Ye Fei had a smile on his face, neither condescending nor arrogant in his words, and he grasped the balance of the relationship between the two parties very well.

Kang Jiachen licked his face and said with a smile: "What is Xiaoyou Ye studying recently?"

Look, this is a closer relationship between Ye Fei and Ye Xiaoyou.

"ABC guess!"

Kang Jiachen looked confused, then smiled and said: "Then success must not be far away. Let me first congratulate Ye Xiaoyou."

With disdain in mind, ABC guessed? just you? I can't even imagine that it will prove successful.

"Thank you, but I am still some distance away from proving the ABC conjecture."

Kang Jiachen said with a smile: "A certain distance is definitely not a problem for your intelligence, Xiaoyou Ye. You will be the winner of the Cole Prize in Number Theory next year, Xiaoyou Ye."

The Cole Prize is divided into the Cole Prize in Algebra and the Cole Prize in Number Theory, which are the highest awards in algebra and number theory respectively.

The ABC conjecture belongs to number theory. If it is proven successful, it will naturally win the Cole Prize in Number Theory.

Ye Fei was sweating in his heart. I don't know if I can win the Cole Award for Number Theory next year, but you will definitely win the Best Dog Licker Award next year.

Not to you, I am the first to disagree.

Soon, the annual meeting began, and the chairman went up to give a speech.

It was a long speech that made Ye Fei want to sleep.

The chairman spoke for half an hour before the banquet began.

ps: Change your writing style to write more relaxedly. How do you feel about this style?

I am also in the experimental stage, and the second half of the last chapter was also written in this style.

If possible, write in this style in the future.
