Chapter 133 Email from Princeton

It was said that he wanted to take back the Higher Education Society Cup trophy, but in fact the moment the final list was announced, the trophy was already in the Department of Mathematics of Kyungshu University.

According to the tradition of previous years, the competition organizing committee will only issue certificates.

Institutions that have won the Higher Education Society Cup and Innovation Award can make trophies and invite members of the organizing committee to present the awards.

Regarding the trophy, Dean Qin had already mentioned that he would keep it in the hospital, so Xu Yun didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, the school just gives out bonuses.

"So that's it, I still thought I could go back with the trophy." After Zhu Liyan heard the explanation, disappointment was visible on his face.

Next to him, Zheng Yuchao suppressed his inner excitement and expressed a bit of pride.

"This is definitely the happiest moment of my life."

Just as Xu Yun was about to answer the conversation, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Pu Wenxing, the captain of Li Wenqing's group, walking over again.

"Congratulations on winning the Higher Education Society Cup."

Looking at Pu Wenxing, who was standing half a meter away from him, he was briefly startled when he heard the sound, then quickly came back to his senses and expressed his gratitude to the other person with a smile on his face.

"Thanks."

He could reach out and not hit the smiling person, not to mention he could feel that the other person was congratulating him from the bottom of his heart.

He knew very little about Pu Wenxing, and was limited to a brief introduction by Li Wenqing in the morning.

However, as a student of the Jinghua Department of Mathematics, he led his team to the second place in the Mathematical Modeling Competition, so he is obviously a veritable academic master.

It's just that the desire to win is a little bit stronger.

Pu Wenxing recognized Xu Yun's strength and took the initiative to come over to congratulate him, but this did not mean that he gave up.

You must know that the mathematical modeling competition is more than just the Higher Education Society Cup.

"I thought that starting a company would delay your studies and waste such a good talent. Now it seems that I despise you."

But I will definitely not lose to you in the US competition next February, and we will meet again then."

Pu Wenxing specifically mentioned next year's US competition, not only to issue a challenge to Xu Yun, but also to motivate himself.

His original goal was to win the Higher Education Society Cup and the American Competition, prove his strength and bring glory to the Jinghua Mathematics Department.

Although I missed out on the Higher Education Society Cup now, it would be nice to win an overseas championship.

At least we won't lose too completely.

Unfortunately, Xu Yun's answer immediately disappointed him.

"I may not participate." Xu Yun gave such an answer seriously after thinking about it.

"Not participating?" Pu Wenxing was surprised.

As the winner of the highest award in this year's mathematical modeling competition, he would normally participate in overseas competitions to bring glory to the school.

It is indeed rare to give up voluntarily.

But soon a guess came to his mind and he asked Xu Yun in front of him.

"Are you scared?"

He knows that the style of overseas competitions is different from that in China, and if he wants to get a ranking, he must change his original thinking.

This is why it is difficult for many Higher Education Society Cup winners to achieve better competition results after participating in the US competition, let alone win a double crown.

Xu Yun didn't want to be embarrassed when his grades were too poor, so it was possible that he chose not to participate.

In this matter, Xu Yun had no intention of hiding anything. Seeing that Pu Wenxing was so interested in his own affairs, he explained one more sentence.

"It's not that I'm afraid."

"The main thing is that I have almost completed my credits now, and I may have to be busy with my graduation thesis and defense next year."

What he said was not wrong. Compared with others, he was actually entering his senior year.

The next main task is to complete the graduation thesis and defense, and draw a successful conclusion to my undergraduate career.

Naturally, I won’t participate in competitions everywhere.

What's more, after experiencing the Higher Education Society Cup, he also lost a large part of his interest in this type of competition.

Instead of simply getting a certificate, it is better to continue studying other unsolved problems in mathematics.

Otherwise it is a waste of resources.

At this moment, Pu Wenxing was completely speechless, and his whole body felt like his spirit had been hit hard.

When he entered his junior year, he had not yet thought about his graduation thesis, while Xu Yun was just about to graduate from his undergraduate degree in his sophomore year.

It turns out that the gap between the two of them is so huge.

"I see."

His mood instantly dropped, he muttered repeatedly in a daze, and then silently turned around and left.

Xu Yun felt somewhat embarrassed when he saw the other party suddenly acting like this. He wanted to call out to the other party before saying something else, but he finally swallowed the words as they reached his lips.

"This man is quite strong, but it's a pity that he chose the wrong opponent." Zheng Yuchao couldn't help but comment while looking at Pu Wenxing's back.

Next to him, Zhu Liyan smiled and said: "So what about Jinghua? Anyone who comes here will leave crying."

"Let's not talk about it for now. Hurry up and book the high-speed rail tickets. We will return to Jingzhou tomorrow."

Seeing that the two people were talking more and more exaggeratedly, Xu Yun hurriedly changed the topic.

Previously, he was hesitant to meet his old classmates, so he did not buy a return ticket in advance. Now that he happened to meet Li Wenqing at the expert interview, there was no need to continue to stay in the imperial capital.

The Imperial City is prosperous and nice, but after all, it doesn't have the same sense of belonging as Jingzhou City.

Currently, November is not a peak period, so even if you buy a ticket on the same day, you will not be without a ticket.

There is no need to worry about the return trip.

What is worth mentioning is that in the evening, with Li Wenqing's help, the two championship and runner-up teams had a dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Although Pu Wenxing's mood was still lower than during the day, fortunately, the overall atmosphere was pretty good.

Xu Yun and Li Wenqing only chatted with each other about what happened in the university, and especially mentioned that Li Hui was led by his senior to win the provincial second prize.

As for other topics, it seemed to be tacit, and no one took the initiative to bring them up.

…

…

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Yun returned to the hotel room.

After taking a shower and lying comfortably on the bed, he first picked up the algebra and number theory textbook he had been reading on the way.

After turning a few pages, I put it down again.

Take out your phone to check the news about today.

During the day, he was busy answering questions from experts, and in the evening he attended a dinner party for the two award-winning teams. He had no time to reply to messages.

The news that their group successfully won the Higher Education Society Cup in the afternoon had already been sent back to the school.

First of all, the liveliest thing is the dormitory group.

Qian Yudong and the other three chatted constantly in the group. In addition to congratulating him on winning the Higher Education Society Cup, they also mentioned the treat.

"I knew Xu Yun would be fine. I won't win it easily."

"Brother Yun is awesome."

"We must find a high-end restaurant this time. Even if Xu Yun gets the bonus to eat meat, he also wants his brothers to drink some soup."

"Brother Yun, when will you come back? I want to touch your trophy."

Seeing Zhao Yuefeng's last news, Xu Yun couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that he hadn't even touched the trophy yet.

He tapped the virtual button with his thumb to reply that they would be at school tomorrow, and then exited the chat window.

In addition, Li Hui and some high school classmates, as well as Chen Shihe and Yao Leyi, also sent congratulatory messages.

He responded in turn and expressed his gratitude.

But then when he was about to put down his phone, he suddenly noticed that there were two new email notifications on the notification bar. Because they were all in English, he almost ignored them as advertising emails.

I clicked on it and found out to my surprise that the email address came from Princeton.

"Eh~"

"Could it be that there is news about the paper?"

Suddenly thinking of something, he subconsciously sat up straight and started checking quickly.

Almost two months have passed since he submitted his article to the Annual Journal of Mathematics.
