Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 222: One Person's Award Ceremony
When reporters were allowed to enter the award ceremony held by Yanda for Chen Zhou.
These reporters who had been chasing and blocking Chen Zhou but couldn't catch him finally saw the light of dawn.
With eyes shining, they waited for the award ceremony to begin.
By the day of the award ceremony, although Yanda had made preparations in advance, they still miscalculated.
There are too many journalist friends here...
The Yan University authorities had no choice but to move the award ceremony venue from the small auditorium to the large auditorium.
But in the end, it was still overcrowded.
There is no way. Chen Zhou's proof of the hail conjecture has become a hot topic that has attracted national attention.
And the popularity remains high.
On the Weibo hot search list, Chen Zhou has been at the top of the list for many consecutive days.
So much so that the stars behind him tried every possible means, but it was useless.
After all, an event that has been officially praised and has affected the entire world cannot be cooled down by public relations.
Naturally, Weibo officials do not dare to reduce the popularity without permission.
After arriving at the auditorium, President Qiu of Yanda could not help but sigh that scientific research talents like Chen Zhou are what Yanda should cultivate, and this is the most positive energy for society!
Several school leaders around President Qiu, including Dean Sun and Dean Zhou of the School of Mathematics, were also filled with emotion.
Today, it is only Chen Zhou who makes Yanda lively. It would be great if the School of Mathematics could produce a few more talents like Chen Zhou.
The students were all impressed to see President Qiu, Dean Sun and other Yanda heavyweights attending the award ceremony.
"I'm going, did you see it?"
"What did you see?"
"there!"
"What the hell! The principal, the dean, and so many other leaders, are they all here to present the award to the peerless god?"
"Of course! I just want to say, you are awesome!"
"I'm a little envious..."
"Who wouldn't be envious? It's an award ceremony for one person! But who can prove the hailstone conjecture? It's not like you can do it just because you are good at it. If you do it, you'll be in the dark..."
Chen Zhou, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but smile when he heard the discussions behind him.
I thought that these two were probably good friends of League of Legends. They should stick with it and not be like Zhao Qiqi, Zhu Mingli, and Huang Jiayi who gave up League of Legends.
"Student Chen Zhou, thank you for bringing honor to Yanda University and Chinese mathematicians."
Principal Qiu's voice pulled Chen Zhou back from his reverie.
Chen Zhou was really flattered by Principal Qiu's thanks.
Speaking of bringing honor, in fact every outstanding student of Yanda University is bringing honor to the school.
Chen Zhou said modestly: "President, you are too polite. I just did what a mathematics student should do."
Upon hearing this, Principal Qiu said with admiration: "What a great job! It seems that our student Chen Zhou is not only good at mathematical research, but also has a high level of ideological awareness."
Chen Zhou smiled and said nothing, still maintaining a humble expression on his face.
Principal Qiu looked at Chen Zhou and continued, "President Sun has already reported your situation to the school. The school held a special meeting to study it and also fully consulted the opinions of the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics, and finally formed a plan."
This was unexpected news. Chen Zhou originally thought that today's award ceremony would only give him the one million bonus.
But I didn’t expect that even the plan for joint training had been discussed.
It had only been a few days when Chen Zhou immediately said, "Principal, you have worked hard!"
President Qiu smiled and said, "The final plan we discussed is to complete your undergraduate studies in mathematics and physics at Yanda University, and then recommend you to study for a master's degree in mathematics and physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States."
At this point, Principal Qiu paused for a moment before continuing, "As for the doctoral degree, whether you can continue to study for a double major in mathematics and physics is up to you."
After Principal Qiu finished speaking , Chen Zhou immediately said, "Principal, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Chen Zhou didn't expect that the school would recommend him to MIT to study for a dual master's degree. The difficulty of this operation is extremely high.
Given MIT's ranking and status among world universities, it should not be a problem for Chen Zhou to pursue a master's or doctoral degree in mathematics after completing his undergraduate studies.
However, Chen Zhou felt that almost no one would accept a double degree, especially a master's degree in mathematics and physics from MIT.
After all, these two majors at MIT are both ranked among the top three in the world!
And there are many geniuses in MIT.
You should know that at least 50 Nobel Prize winners have studied or worked at MIT.
This is where geniuses gather.
In fact, Chen Zhou originally thought that the school would arrange for him to complete a dual-degree master's program at the school, then recommend him to go abroad, and strive for a dual-degree doctoral program opportunity for him.
But now, the school has actually secured for him the opportunity to study for a double master's degree in mathematics and physics at MIT.
This surprise is quite big.
Principal Qiu waved his hand and encouraged: "The school will fight for you if it can, but it is still you who seizes the opportunity. I am optimistic about you!"
At this time, the award ceremony is about to begin.
Principal Qiu said no more and looked towards the stage in the auditorium, waiting for the award ceremony to begin.
By the way, this is the first time that Yanda has held an award ceremony for a sophomore undergraduate student.
Yanda has made history again because of Chen Zhou.
In fact, from a certain perspective, everyone who came to attend the award ceremony today is witnessing history.
With the voice of the host, the award ceremony officially began.
Although it is an award ceremony for one person, the proper ceremonial process still needs to be followed.
First of all, of course, there is the principal’s speech.
Principal Qiu walked up to the podium with steady steps. Starting with the origin of the hail conjecture, he explained in detail the research process of the mathematical community on the hail conjecture. Finally, he summarized Chen Zhou's research work and gave high praise.
Then, President Sun, the Dean of the School of Mathematics, will give another speech at the school level.
After that, there will be a prize awarding ceremony.
Finally waited until this step.
Chen Zhou walked up to the podium quickly.
This one million is finally going to go into his pocket.
So excited.
So nervous.
So excited.
Chen Zhou tried his best to control his facial expression, and told himself in his heart that this was only the first million, and there would definitely be a second, third, and fourth in the future...
We must stay calm!
I must be able to take this one million!
A good start for the next one million!
Following the host teacher's voice, Principal Qiu took the bonus check for one million.
In the presence of a group of students, reporters and leaders, Principal Qiu handed the check for the one million bonus to Chen Zhou.
At this moment, there was one more millionaire in the world.
