Chapter 40: Pursuit of Mathematical Perfection 2(1/2)
During the break, Zheng Wen hurriedly ran to the back and prepared to explain to Liu Meng so that the two of them could eliminate the misunderstanding and resolve the past grudges. When they looked for it, Liu Meng didn't even have a figure in her seat and had no schoolbag. After calling again, he turned off the phone directly. He thought, Liu Meng wouldn't be so stingy.
Just left, she had no choice but to sit back in her seat.
I saw Du Yi and Teacher Kong Jidao chatting. Du Yi said: "I have heard that there is a teacher Kong from Bingcheng University of Technology who has profound math attainments. I have really benefited a lot from listening to a class today. When I first started studying "Advanced Mathematics", I suddenly felt like I was enlightened."
Du Yi’s words are not an exaggeration. Teacher Kong Jidao’s lectures are indeed very good, with clear ideas, and always use the most simple thinking to explain complex problems and point directly to the essence. Therefore, the more people who have studied listen to his lectures, the more they feel that they are so clever. Liu Meng also felt this way when he first listened to the lecture.
"I didn't expect you to join in the fun too. I've heard of you for a long time. The first prize in the Olympics and the international competitions were very good. I was even admitted to Shuimu University directly. I was one of the two people with the most talented mathematical talent in my old man in the years."
Kong Jidao was very happy to see these young juniors with outstanding mathematical talent and praised them with a smile.
"Haha, the other one is Liu Meng. I didn't expect that Teacher Kong's reputation for Liu Meng was as famous as Brother Du Yi. No wonder my dad admired Liu Meng so much, saying that he might really solve the Sitapan conjecture." Zheng Wen interrupted.
Kong Jidao nodded repeatedly and said yes. In private, when he communicated with Zheng Zhong, he talked about Liu Meng a lot. Both of them were looking forward to this young man.
"It turned out to be Liu Meng. I heard Gu Pan mention it. He is indeed a rare math genius. I really want to meet him if he has the chance. Didn't he come to class?" Du Yi suddenly became interested and asked.
"I'm here, but I haven't seen anyone before the class has finished. I guess I've been running away from the middle of the day." Zheng Wen curled her lips, feeling very unhappy Liu Meng's stingy.
"He just had some ideas and went to check the information. This kid respected me, the old man. Before slipping out, he explained it to me. This is how it is to do math. The most rare thing is thinking. Some people can be stuck at one point for more than ten years. If you have ideas, you should seize it." Kong Jidao explained for Liu Meng with a smile.
Zheng Wen felt suspicious. Is this true? It’s not because she is stingy? She looks like a stingy guy.
At this time, Du Yi was shocked. A freshman student was actually starting to solve the Sitapan conjecture. He also studied this conjecture in his junior year. It was indeed a very nonsensical problem. The conventional ideas could not be solved, so he could only find inspiration from the classical theory of mathematics and physics.
This conjecture is still a very popular conjecture in the mathematics community at present. Many math masters like to study it and have never solved it, but more people are happy with it. It is a very interesting topic.
He also studied for a while, but later he took a degree in the Department of Economics, and the time was scattered, so he did not continue to study.
There is no way, the family business needs him to inherit it, and his parents asked him to fill out the mathematics department, which was already a kind of indulgence. As a condition, he had to take the economics department elective.
Yu Guang looked at Gu Pan, and Du Yi felt a little uncomfortable. He knew Gu Pan's personality very well. From some of the words Zheng Wen said, it was not difficult for him to infer some information. Zheng Wen, Pan'er and Liu Meng, the three of them should be very familiar with each other, but when they mentioned Liu Meng, Pan'er was expressionless and still cold.
This is very abnormal.
Pan'er is indeed always a cold face in front of outsiders, as if wearing a mask, but when he is by his side, he is usually very relaxed.
It was very abnormal for her to go to school together today, and she still did this.
Du Yi felt something was wrong in his heart. This was also the reason why he was suddenly interested in sending Gu Pan over to class, and he also attended the math class.
He wanted to understand Gu Pan's current life and learning environment.
Now, he understood a little that Paner himself belongs to the kind of very strong girl. Naturally, he will inevitably appreciate boys with outstanding talents. If Liu Meng, who has a high talent, is sincerely lured, it is indeed difficult to keep Paner from being moved.
A girl of this age, when she first arrived in college, she yearned for romantic love the most.
Thinking of this, Du Yi suddenly felt a great sense of crisis, and suddenly felt that he might lose Gu Pan, and there was no reason for his nervousness.
He sighed in his heart. Gu Pan's family is well off. Even if he inherited the huge family business, Gu Pan would not appreciate it at all, not to mention that these wealth was not achieved by himself.
If I solve the Sitapan conjecture, Pan'er will definitely be proud of me. Du Yi made up his mind to concentrate on solving the Sitapan conjecture after returning to Shuimu University, and must solve it!
Listening to the chatting of several people, Gu Pan was very upset for no reason. She didn't want to interrupt and went out of the stairs classroom under the reason of going to the bathroom. She didn't know what was going on. When she heard several people talking about Liu Meng, she felt very upset.
"Pan'er, wait for me." Zheng Wen shouted from behind, Gu Pan pretended not to hear and quickly walked away.
Zheng Wen pouted her mouth instantly.
"Wenwen, my phone is out of battery, I'll use yours," Du Yi suddenly said to Zheng Wen. The little girl has always admired Du Yi since she was a child, so she naturally obeyed Du Yi and quickly handed over the phone.
Du Yi flipped open his phone and quickly searched Liu Meng. A phone number jumped out. He just glanced at it and immediately turned off the "contact person". With just one glance, he could instantly remember this eleven number. It is no exaggeration to say that he has shown extraordinary mathematical talent since he was a child. He is very sensitive to numbers. He can instantly remember more than fifty sets of numbers and can also perform mental arithmetics, which is no less than a calculator.
Since childhood, he has won numerous honors in mathematics.
When he got outside, Gu Pan took a few breaths of fresh air and felt a little more comfortable. He grabbed the handle tightly and said to himself: "Damn it, why is I so uncomfortable in my heart? I won't have a good impression of such a selfish stingy guy. Humph, still **! Not handsome! Still rustic! Still shameless!"
After hiding in the toilet for a while, he couldn't help but take out his cell phone. He called Liu Meng's cell phone number and immediately uploaded a message saying: "I'm sorry, the phone number you called has been turned off."
I quickly pressed the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't know why I called it. If it was connected, I really didn't know what to say. However, I felt a little uncomfortable if I didn't connect and I was really annoyed.
.............
Immersed in the world of mathematics and sat for eight hours. When Liu Meng relaxed his stiff body, he realized that the sky outside had already darkened.
"It's so cool!" He sighed inwardly. From the origin of modern mathematics, he gained more on this day than the twenty years he had read the textbook before. For example, the origin and proof of integral formulas, and the strange thinking is simply incredible.
It’s like opening up a new world and swimming in this world.
I didn’t eat lunch again, and my body felt hungry immediately. My stomach was roaring. I turned on my phone and received a message from Zheng Wen, “Stingy, where have you gone?”
Liu Meng smiled and stopped replying. He filled his stomach first. He went directly to the convenience cafeteria near Ximen and had three beef pies. It was just out of the pot. A beef fragrance came to his nose. He didn't stop his index finger and ate it in big mouthfuls. It was served with millet porridge. Although the combination was strange, it was excellent.
Millet porridge can first soak the stomach that has been hungry for too long, so that it can digest the beef pie well.
After dinner, I came out of the convenience cafeteria and the phone rang. I saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but I still picked it up.
A very magnetic voice said, "You are Liu Meng, Hello, I am Du Yi. You may have heard of me. Have you ever had time to meet me? I'm in your school."
"Okay!" is concise and concise.
"Where are you? I'll come to find you."
"Simon."
Du Yi was originally in school, so he did not go home like he told Gu Pan, but waited. He wanted to see Liu Meng, and he was a little hesitant. He thought of Gu Pan, and he had to meet this young man and first see if he could promise some benefits to persuade him to leave.
To the south of the canteen is the small woods on the left side of the main building. Not far from the road, there are stone tables and benches. The two of them are sitting here. Du Yi looked at this freshman in the first sight and felt very ordinary at first glance. After a few more glances, he could feel that the boy was neither humble nor arrogant, and he always maintained a calm temperament.
Although Liu Meng had no reaction on his face, he also paid attention to Du Yi. He only needed to take a few glances and contact him, and he could roughly know what kind of person he was. He immediately concluded in his heart, "This is a very principled gentleman. What do you mean by looking for me?"
"Liu Meng, I'm very presumptuous to bother you. Let me introduce myself first. I am Du Yi. Now in the Department of Mathematics at Shuimu University, you can call me senior or Du Yi." Du Yi spoke gently and elegantly.
"Hello, senior, I have heard of it for a long time. It is my honor to see you." Facing other people's humble and smiling faces, Liu Meng would not be ungrateful. He is also very friendly and polite.
After hesitating for a moment, Du Yi said again: "Gu Pan and I grew up together. She kept calling me brother. It may be very presumptuous to ask this, but I have to ask, are you pursuing Gu Pan? Do you like her? Do you know her?"
Liu Meng didn't expect him to be so direct. This is privacy and he felt a little unhappy. However, looking at his gentle attitude, he was still patient. "Senior, this is too personal. Please forgive me, I really don't want to answer."
"Pan'er, she has a strong personality and is difficult to get along with in private. She needs to be greatly accommodated, and there are many more..." Du Yi said a lot on his own. Rather than telling Liu Meng, he said it himself.
"Senior, what do you want to say?" Liu Meng was a little puzzled.
Du Yi was a little embarrassed and paused and said, "I hope you leave Gu Pan and don't have the idea of pursuing her. You won't make her happy. Of course, in the most rewarding way, I can guide you in mathematics, and even after you graduate, I can recommend you to my tutor, a famous mathematician in China. I can also get you a job that everyone envies through my family."
After hearing such words, Liu Meng felt a little angry. He was the least willing to listen to others say such words, although Du Yi said it very tactfully and had a sincere attitude.
"Senior, you are too worried. I don't mean to pursue Gu Pan. She doesn't feel anything about me. You are simply worried about it." Although I was angry, I still maintained a faint expression on my face.
"Pan'er is still too young, and I can't be with her side from time to time. I haven't seen her for more than two months. Her changes surprised me. I was afraid that I would not understand her and could not keep up with her transformation." Du Yi continued, "Liu Meng, you are very outstanding. Freshmen still have the habit of high school and will involuntarily have a good impression of outstanding students. I am very worried that Pan'er will do this to you. I also understand that it is very likely that I am worried about nothing, and I also hope that I am worried about nothing, but I can't afford to lose, so I must be careful before it happens."
Du Yi is also a determined person. He must insist on doing what he thinks of and will not give up or change easily. He really cannot imagine the second half of his life without looking back.
Marrying this girl is his dream that has always been sensible.
"Why do you arrange my future? If I like Gu Pan, I will chase me. If she likes me too, I will love me. Why do I change my thoughts and suppress my feelings because of the false things you promised me?" Liu Meng said lightly, but the corners of his mouth had risen slightly, which was a habitual expression of anger in his heart.
The atmosphere gradually became a little nervous.
Du Yi was originally a proud person. He felt that being able to talk to Liu Meng patiently today showed his greatest sincerity, but the other party didn't buy it, and he felt a little unhappy. He said in a hard tone: "As far as I know, you are a poor student and your family has limited income. I never look down on you. There is just an old saying, women rely on marriage and men rely on family. Even if you have strong math talent, what is the use? How many talented young people in China are? In the end, there are several famous internationals. What do you give Paner happiness? Their family will never agree, and in the end they will torture each other."
Liu Meng admitted that Du Yi was right, but he just couldn't stand the pressure of others and felt that he was humiliated. The more he did so, the more he could calm down. He just looked at Du Yi coldly. Du Yi has now become the one who annoyed him. Once he had the chance, he would completely defeat him.
"I personally saved up one million over the years. As long as you sign a contract with me, I can give it all to you. Think about it, this is a good deal. Paner may not like you at all, and you can get one million, which is enough for you to work hard for ten years or even twenty years to improve your life for your family, and I just buy a piece of peace of mind."
After talking about it, Du Yi simply offered a temptation. He believed that a poor student and family difficulties meant what this million mean? Can a farmer boy withstand such temptation? As long as Pan'er knows this contract skillfully, Yi Pan'er's personality will never have any favors to him anymore.
One million! It was indeed a lot in 2004. Even in 2014, it was not a small amount of money. Liu Meng was really shocked. Unexpectedly, Du Yi was willing to give him one million for a redundant worry. It was like a pie falling from the sky, almost like winning a big lottery.
If he was a freshman, he might not be able to resist this temptation. After all, the real money is real, and it is nothing he had with Gu Pan except for the passionate kiss from the grove. Du Yi was really worried. In terms of which aspect, this was a good deal.
However, if a person compromises because of money and changes his persistence and passion, then his mood will be affected. Liu Meng can predict that if he accepts it, it will be a shadow of his life and will always tell him that he is a soft boy who can change his life for money and will do nothing.
I can make money by myself and will never be merciless.
Thinking of this, Liu Meng stood up coldly, stared at Du Yi's handsome face, and said calmly: "I also understand that although money is not omnipotent, it is absolutely impossible to have no money. One million is really worth it, especially a poor boy like me who comes from a poor family, who understands the importance of money."
Du Yi's hard face gradually relaxed and felt a little proud. Finally, how could a poor boy withstand the temptation? One million? He could buy a luxury house in a big city like Bingcheng. He couldn't help but see the boy in front of him clearly.
Liu Meng showed a contemptuous smile on his lips and continued, "But, I can earn money by myself. Put away your condescending attitude and put away your gentle and gentleman look. I won't eat this."
With a sudden change in attitude, Du Yi's face turned bloody red, and the contrast was too large. Unexpectedly, Liu Meng changed his face suddenly and said unwillingly: "A illusory and a real money, you have to think clearly and not show off your enthusiasm for a while."
"Senior, I'll leave first if there's nothing else. Just think I'm pretending to be pretentious. My heart tells me that your conditions are unacceptable." Liu Meng said and stood up and left.
Du Yi said loudly: "Liu Meng, what are you proud of? Are you outstanding mathematical talent? I tell you, Sitapan guess, I have also studied it, and after returning to Kyoto, I will start research again. Maybe you will be dissatisfied with my wealth. My wealth is just the accumulation of my parents. You are just a bad background. Then I tell you that I will use the mathematics you are proud of to defeat you completely. At that time, I hope you will retain your current arrogance and take the initiative to retreat."
"What if I solve it first? Do you take the initiative to retreat?" Liu Meng turned around and looked at Du Yi coldly. His handsome face was just a matter of elegant temperament, but his arousal and shameless temperament was gone.
Facing Liu Meng's aggressive gaze, Du Yi opened his mouth, really not daring to bet on his own and Gu Pan as a bet. There is no need for this. The two were not in a similar position. Liu Meng, what else could he have besides some talent?
Liu Meng smiled contemptuously, full of contempt. What else can a person do without courage? Even if he is rich enough to compete with a country and is extremely smart, he is just a useless person.
Du Yi, who has been smooth sailing since childhood and has grown up with praise, faced with an aggressive gaze of two classes, felt a sense of frustration, and a bloody spirit rushed up and said fiercely: "I won't take Paner's happiness as a joke, so let's compete to see who is better at it."
"Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you, goodbye." After saying that, Liu Meng stepped forward.
Walking on the road, Liu Meng's heart was also rumbling, a sense of humiliation, and then he felt an impulse and excitement surged in his heart, a belief that he could not challenge and would win.
Unconsciously, I returned to the library, looked at the three big words on it, and walked in in diameter.
I sent Guo Yunting a leave message and turned off my phone.
Must focus.
To be continued...
