Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 190 Let's go, it's my treat
What Dean Zhou was holding in his hand was the scholarship that was to be given to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou had been guessing when the scholarship would be issued. If it wasn’t issued, his freshman year would almost be over.
He even specifically asked Mr. Zhao Ming from the Admissions Office about this, but the other party was hesitant and told him to wait for the arrangements of the School of Mathematics.
But I didn't expect that the School of Mathematics would find such an opportunity.
Chen Zhou guessed that it was the female reporter from Yenching Daily who took the initiative to approach him, and then the leaders of the School of Mathematics decided to handle the Qiu Competition and the scholarship together.
Of course, Chen Zhou made his guess based on the amount of the scholarship.
Mr. Zhao Ming from the Admissions Office did not promise him so much scholarship.
That’s a full 100,000!
It is far more than the 50,000 yuan mentioned by Teacher Zhao Ming.
Chen Zhou took another look and confirmed that he was not mistaken. Suddenly, he felt that the medal was not that heavy...
Of course, Dean Zhou could not give the prize money directly to Chen Zhou, so he took out two scholarship certificates.
One is a full scholarship of 50,000 yuan for freshmen, and the other is a college scholarship of 50,000 yuan.
With the help of Huang Yemei, Chen Zhou put on the medal and held the trophy, waiting for Dean Zhou to give him the certificate and bonus.
Dean Zhou walked up to Chen Zhou with a smile and said, "Student Chen, this 50,000 full scholarship for freshmen was promised by the school. The other 50,000 is a scholarship given to you by the college, mainly to reward your outstanding performance in study."
Chen Zhou said with a smile: "Thank you, President Zhou."
Dean Zhou said: "You don't need to thank me for this, it's all your hard work."
The female reporter from the Yanjing Daily also said at the right time: "President Zhou, can I take a picture of you?"
Dean Zhou nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."
As he spoke, President Zhou called several other hospital leaders as well as Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan to his side, preparing to have everyone take a group photo first.
After taking the group photo, Chen Zhou placed the trophy on the table and waited to receive the certificates for the two scholarships.
After all, holding a trophy and then a certificate is something that is difficult to take.
Unexpectedly, Dean Zhou still did not rush to give the scholarship certificate to Chen Zhou. Instead, he reached out and took Chen Zhou's trophy and took a photo with Chen Zhou again.
Other hospital leaders also came over and took intimate photos with Chen Zhou.
Just when Chen Zhou couldn't help wanting to complain, Dean Zhou began to explain the distribution of the scholarship.
After a busy period, Chen Zhou finally put the 100,000 yuan scholarship into his pocket.
He has money now, he has money now. Chen Zhou’s pockets are fatter.
Knowledge is indeed the most valuable...
After receiving the scholarship, Chen Zhou became more enthusiastic about taking photos and always had a smile on his face.
Finally, after all the procedures were completed, Dean Zhou said, "Student Chen, I heard that you accepted reporter Yao's invitation for an interview. We will not waste your time. Let's see how to start."
Before Chen Zhou could speak, counselor Huang Yemei spoke first: "Dean Zhou, I have arranged an interview with Chen Zhou. I will take him and reporter Yao to the small conference room now."
Dean Zhou nodded and said, "Then go ahead. Manage your time well and don't delay Xiao Chen's studies. I'll wait for you in the office."
"Okay, Dean Zhou."
Several people responded, and Huang Yemei took Chen Zhou and reporter Yao to the small conference room.
On the way to the small meeting room, Chen Zhou completely understood the reason for this arrangement from Huang Yemei.
It turns out that according to the normal process, all students who received scholarships should be gathered together and then awarded the scholarships together.
It's not that there's a special award ceremony, but the awards are given out in the dean's office, similar to what we do now.
However, we will not invite our journalist friends. At most, we will take a few photos inside the college just for show.
However, because Chen Zhou broke history by winning the Grand Slam of the Qiu Open, and also because of the publication of Chen Zhou's paper.
The college has been postponing this arrangement, trying to find a suitable way to award Chen Zhou this high scholarship.
Moreover, Chen Zhou's original scholarship was only the usual 8,000 yuan. It was only after a meeting of the college leaders that it was decided to increase it to 50,000 yuan.
It is also because the scholarships have been increased that the college leaders feel that distributing the money hastily and without a sense of ceremony, so they have been dragging their feet.
At this time, reporter Yao from Yenching Daily took the initiative to contact the hospital leaders, which made them think of different arrangements.
Since there are journalist friends who offer it to you, why not use it?
At the same time, reporter Yao was worried about not being able to make an appointment with Chen Zhou, and the two hit it off.
Small meeting room.
Chen Zhou’s exclusive interview begins.
Reporter Yao: "Hello, Chen Zhou."
Chen Zhou: "Hello, reporter Yao."
Reporter Yao: "To be honest, it's not easy to get an appointment with you. If the School of Mathematics didn't happen to have such plans, I don't know when I would be able to get an appointment."
Chen Zhou smiled softly and explained, "Well... I am indeed a bit busy..."
Reporter Yao thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because of the hail?"
Chen Zhou nodded slightly.
Although he already knew that Chen Zhou was researching the hail hypothesis, reporter Yao was still surprised when he actually got the confirmation from Chen Zhou himself.
The guy in front of me is only a freshman, but he has actually started to attack world-class difficult problems.
If it were an ordinary person, she would definitely think that this person was crazy.
But looking at Chen Zhou with a calm face, she felt that this man should be studying difficult problems.
After a pause, reporter Yao asked again, "Excuse me, how is your research progressing?"
After that, she added: "If it's convenient to disclose."
Chen Zhou smiled. He didn't think there was anything inconvenient about this.
Although there are many people in the world who are studying this difficult problem, he doesn't think that just by saying this, he can inspire others to solve the conjecture.
So Chen Zhou told him truthfully about his research.
Although he didn't quite understand, reporter Yao still carefully took notes in his notebook.
Chen Zhou glanced at what she had recorded and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"Then I hope you can solve this world-class problem and let the world see the wisdom of Chinese mathematicians." Reporter Yao said this and started to ask the next question, "Can you talk about the Clifford analysis paper you have published?"
Chen Zhou thought about it. Hasn't the paper been published? What else is there to talk about?
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Zhou said, "This is my first independent research topic, and I feel it's pretty good."
Reporter Yao, who had expected this, was no longer surprised by Chen Zhou's brief answer, but instead keenly captured the information in Chen Zhou's brief words.
She asked, "You said this is your first independent research topic, do you have any other collaborative research topics?"
Chen Zhou said: "Well, I have participated in the research groups of Professor Wu Xiping and Professor Zhang Zhongyuan before."
Reporter Yao subconsciously wanted to ask about the relationship between these two professors and Chen Zhou, but suddenly remembered that when Chen Zhou was awarded the scholarship today, it seemed that these two professors were there.
Thinking carefully, he remembered that Dean Zhou had introduced these two people during his introduction.
Oh, I actually didn't remember it. I was just thinking that I finally got an interview with Chen Zhou, but I actually overlooked such important information...
Reporter Yao secretly blamed himself for his unprofessionalism and reminded himself not to make the same mistake again next time.
However, who would have thought that two professors would actually lead freshmen to do a research project...
To avoid embarrassment, reporter Yao naturally avoided the topic of Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan, and instead asked about what Chen Zhou was responsible for in the two projects.
Chen Zhou briefly talked about his work.
Reporter Yao had a headache again because Chen Zhou's answers were too professional, and mathematics was her weak point.
Just like this, I asked and answered questions, and then recorded the bumps and bruises.
Reporter Yao asked all the professional questions.
The topic also began to turn to the Qiu competition.
Because there were many rumors about Qiu Sai, she also wanted to verify it with the person involved.
Reporter Yao smiled and said, "Well, I have collected some questions that have been discussed a lot online since the Qiu competition ended, and I would like to verify them with you."
Chen Zhou: "You say."
Reporter Yao: "The first question is about the interview. It is said that during your interview, Professor Zhang Shouwu asked a question on behalf of a friend? And it is related to your Clifford analysis paper?"
Chen Zhou thought about it and felt that this should not violate Qiu Sai’s regulations on interview confidentiality, so he briefly recounted the questions that Zhang Shouwu asked during the interview.
Hearing this, reporter Yao smiled and said, "I don't know if this is Professor Zhang asking this or if he's really asking on behalf of a friend."
Chen Zhou also smiled but didn't say anything .
Afterwards, reporter Yao asked some other questions about Qiu Sai, such as the simplicity of the interview questions, the shortest time to complete the interview, breaking the history, and the invitation from Professor Zhang Shouwu, etc.
Chen Zhou was a little confused by the questions, but he still patiently answered them one by one.
Finally, reporter Yao looked at his notebook, closed it with satisfaction, and then said with a slightly apologetic smile: "Thank you for accepting my interview. I am sorry for taking up your precious time."
Chen Zhou said politely, "It's okay."
When Chen Zhou came out of the small conference room, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
He shook his head slightly, and the whole afternoon was wasted.
But when he thought about the 100,000 yuan scholarship, he felt that if he came a few more times, he could still accept it.
After walking out of the administrative building, Chen Zhou took out his cell phone and took a look at it.
Yang Yiyi replied with several messages.
[Well, go ahead.]
[President Yang also contacted me. I don’t know what it is about. If you are done with your work, please call me.]
[Wow, Chen Zhou, I got a scholarship. Come on, I'll treat you to a big meal! ]
【Hurry up, hurry up, tell me what you want to eat? 】
…
After reading the news, Chen Zhou smiled slightly. So the scholarships are awarded on selected dates?
His fingers quickly edited a message "I also received a scholarship" and sent it to Yang Yiyi.
As soon as the message was sent, Yang Yiyi called.
Chen Zhou answered the phone and said generously, "Let's go, Yiyi, let me take you to a big meal!"
Yang Yiyi smiled and said, "I'll treat you, since I give out more!"
Chen Zhou asked curiously, "How much scholarship did you give out?"
Yang Yiyi said: "70,000!"
Hearing this, Chen Zhou looked a little strange, and asked, "Where are you? I'm coming to find you."
Yang Yiyi told them a location and they hung up the phone.
However, before Chen Zhou walked far, he heard someone calling him from behind.
Chen Zhou turned his head and saw a group of people walking out of the administrative building.
The three guys from the dormitory were among them, walking towards him excitedly.
Chen Zhou keenly observed the certificates in the hands of the three people. It seemed that they were here to receive the scholarship just like him.
The dean will make arrangements this week. He will solve the problem himself first, and then call everyone to receive their scholarships, and the matter will be resolved.
When the three of them came up to him, Chen Zhou asked, "Are you here to receive the scholarship?"
The three of them nodded in unison, and then Zhao Qiqi asked in confusion: "Brother Chen, didn't you receive the scholarship?"
Chen Zhou: "I received it before you. Because reporter Yao from Qiu Sai was also there, he was pulled out for an interview."
Hearing this, the three nodded. They were wondering, how could Chen Zhou not be there when receiving the scholarship?
After taking a look at the three of them, Chen Zhou asked again, "How much scholarship did you get?"
Zhao Qiqi was the first to speak: "I got less than them, only 40,000."
Chen Zhou was surprised and asked, "One hundred thousand?"
Zhao Qiqi hurriedly shook her head: "It's 40,000, the four of one, two, three, four. If I could get 100,000, how could I speak like this..."
"Oh oh..." Chen Zhou was a little embarrassed. He thought Zhao Qiqi had done something secretly to get a scholarship of 100,000 yuan. It turned out that he had heard it wrong.
Zhu Mingli then said, "I only took 55,000 yuan. Li Li took the most among us. We will have a big dinner tonight."
Li Li chuckled and said, "Don't worry, your feast will not be short."
Chen Zhou asked, "Li Li, how much scholarship did you get?"
Li Li replied: "A little more than Lao Zhu, 65,000."
From the scholarships these three people received and combining his own situation, Chen Zhou can be sure that the amount of the scholarship is determined based on academic performance.
Apart from him, Li Li had the best performance among the three.
Not only Qiu Sai's results, but after Chen Zhou skipped classes this semester, Li Li was awarded the title of the questioner in the competition against Wu Xiping, and his position is relatively stable.
Naturally, Wu Xiping fulfilled his promise and invited Li Li to join the research team.
"Chen Zhou, what about you? You came here before us. How much scholarship did you get?"
Li Li's voice brought Chen Zhou back to his senses.
Touching his nose, Chen Zhou said softly, "One hundred thousand."
Zhao Qiqi said in surprise: "Impossible? Brother Chen, are you holding the same thing as me?"
Chen Zhou coughed lightly and explained, "It's not four, it's ten, a perfect ten."
"What the hell! One hundred thousand?!"
Hearing this, Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli couldn't help but let out a low cry.
Li Li looked at Chen Zhou again and again.
He originally thought that the difference wouldn't be that big, but he didn't expect that the difference in scholarships would be so huge!
"Uh..." Chen Zhou glanced at the three people, then looked at the students around him who were attracted by his gaze, and said in a brisk tone, "Let's go, it's my treat!"
