Lu Zhou did not expect that only one day had passed.
The next night, he received an email from Mr. Francis.
[… The PDF format of the meeting notes is attached to this email. Although I feel like you probably don't need it anymore? Good luck, friend from across the Pacific Ocean.]
Lu Zhou:???
Why don't I need it anymore?
Did the Annual Mathematics Journal release a new issue?
Lu Zhou quickly logged onto the Annual Mathematics website. However, he did not see any new issues.
Lu Zhou thought about it. The Annual Mathematics Journal's publication cycle was "Bimonthly", which meant that it was published bimonthly. It was published every two months.
According to the last publication date, his thesis would not be published until the end of this month. Why don't I need it anymore? He was still waiting to use this meeting notes to smash the heads of his brainless fans.
While Lu Zhou was confused, he received a phone call.
Lu Zhou looked at the screen and saw that it was Professor Tang. He picked up the phone and placed it next to his ear. Before he could ask what was going on, Professor Tang spoke first.
"What did you do this time?"
Lu Zhou coughed awkwardly and said, "Even you know?"
He did not want to make a big deal out of this, so he did not tell anyone at the school. He did not expect Professor Tang to already know.
"What are you talking about? I'm not blind. Do you really think I don't go online? "said Professor Tang with a smile.
What?
From Professor Tang's tone, he does not seem to be in a hurry?
While Lu Zhou was wondering what happened after he woke up, Professor Tang continued to speak.
"To be honest, this matter is getting out of hand. That old man Wang Yuping's mouth isn't very tight. After he came back, he bragged about you everywhere. He even said that with this result alone, you will definitely win the Cole Prize for 2017. Guess what? "
Before Lu Zhou could speak, Professor Tang laughed and continued.
"I don't know how this matter reached the ears of the old guys in the publicity department. The Cole Prize! That was a joyous occasion! Everyone Daily has already written a press release. They're just waiting for your thesis to be published at the end of the month. In the end, heh, this face really hurts. "
Of course, it was not Lu Zhou who was in pain. It was the editorial department of Everyone Daily.
A local TV station's variety show actually copied this thing to pass time.
If this was not handled, who would be the one to write the proof of the twin prime conjecture? If anything went wrong, they would have to take responsibility!
It wasn't just Everyone Daily's editorial department that had an ugly expression on their faces, but the old guys in the publicity department also had an ugly expression on their faces. It could be imagined that the person with the ugliest expression was Mr. Wang from Yan University.
No matter what, someone was going to suffer.
Professor Tang could not help but say, "If something like this happens in the future, tell me immediately or tell Dean Qin. Don't always think about solving it yourself. Do you think the school will leave you alone? If your Senior Brother Luo hadn't told me about this, who knows when I would've found out about it! "
Lu Zhou asked, "Luo Wenxue?"
Professor Tang, "When Luo Wenxue heard about this, he immediately went to the Federal Mathematics Society and asked for a copy of the meeting notes. He then contacted several domestic media outlets to expose this matter. He also sent me an email. Look at what other people do. Give him a call later and thank him yourself. "
Lu Zhou immediately said, "Of course, I'll call him later!"
He finally understood why Mr. Francis replied to his email and said that he might not be able to use the meeting minutes. It turned out that someone had already sent the meeting minutes to China for him.
Therefore, I really have to thank Luo Wenxue.
Next time I go to Princeton, I'll have to buy him a drink.
Lu Zhou hung up the phone and looked at Wu Yan's fans on Weibo. He suddenly laughed out loud.
Shi Shang, who was sitting under his bed and playing with his guitar, was shocked by Lu Zhou's sudden laughter.
"Zhou, what's wrong now?"
"Nothing," said Lu Zhou as he shook his head. He then said, "It's good to be educated. I don't have to do it myself."
Liu Rui, who was studying, looked up and asked, "What? You solved your problem? "
Lu Zhou put his phone aside and said, "Sort of."
…
TV station, conference room.
Wu Ping had an awkward expression on her face.
No, more accurately speaking, the project team leaders did not have a good expression on their faces.
Honestly speaking, they did not expect things to develop to this point. They thought it was a perfect marketing campaign, but it seemed like the situation was not going to end well.
Especially Wu Ping. She felt like she was being f * cked by a dog.
Even though they didn't understand what the person on stage was doing, they still downloaded the thesis from the conference and read it.
Even though they did not understand the text, they could understand the abstract. That conference was clearly about the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers, so they asked experts in this area.
Therefore, when Wu Yan's agent came to her with the twin prime conjecture's proof paper and pointed to it, saying that it was Wu Yan's latest research result, she searched for the twin prime conjecture on the internet. She found that there was no news about the conjecture being proven, so she did not pay much attention to it.
Now that the program was effective, it seemed like they had lost their integrity.
Wu Yan's agent, Yang Feng, was sitting at the conference table. He coughed and spoke awkwardly.
"Isn't this a bit too much? It's just a show, it's not a real thesis. There's no way it's academic fraud, right? "
Director Zhang said angrily, "Why didn't you f * cking say that the process was copied?"
Yang Feng tried to appease him, "Director Zhang, we're on the same boat, it's not the time to argue. I asked Wu Yan, and he admitted that he was inspired by the proof process at the academic conference. However, he changed a lot of the details. We can say that the two of them solved the world's problems separately … "
"It's useless to talk about this now." Director Zhang's assistant interrupted Yang Feng and looked at Director Zhang. He said, "The key now is how do we solve this problem. My suggestion is to start the public relations process immediately and cool down the topic on Weibo. Then … How about we find a mathematics journal, pay them some money, and let them publish the proof first? "
Director Zhang thought for a bit and nodded.
"Makes sense."
It would be a pity to give up on a role that they had worked so hard to get. In any case, Wu Yan's thesis had not been published yet. Even if there was a video online, what could a video prove? The code rate was so low, and it was reflective. It was hard to even see what was written on the whiteboard.
Even if Wu Yan's thesis was published, it would still be copied, not to mention that Wu Yan's thesis had not been published yet.
Even if Wu Yan's thesis was published, it would still be fake!
Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open. A man in a suit walked into the conference room with a blank expression.
Zhang Yuanjie raised his eyebrows and said, "Which department are you from? We're in a meeting, did I give you permission to come in?"
The man ignored Director Zhang and threw a document on the table.
"Notice from the higher-ups. Starting today, your show will be suspended."
The atmosphere in the conference room froze.
There was not a single sound. It was as if one could hear a needle drop on the ground.
Zhang Yuanjie's eyes widened in disbelief. His breathing became faster and faster as he suddenly stood up.
"What's going on? Why is it suddenly suspended? This doesn't make sense … I, I'll talk to the director! "
It was almost the finals and rehearsals were over. If they suddenly suspended the show, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the entire show.
Zhang Yuanjie's face turned pale. He could not accept this fact.
The man only glanced at Zhang Yuanjie indifferently.
