When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

"Old Dong, I told you before that it's easy to hold a math competition, but if you really want to develop mathematics as a discipline, you can't rely on a competition alone."

"You are also an expert in this field, and you know better what is most important in scientific research. The contribution of a genius far exceeds that of countless ordinary people."

"Just like Donglai, out of so many people in the world, those few mathematical problems were left there, and over the years only Donglai was able to prove them."

"If it weren't for Donglai, these mathematical problems would have existed for who knows how many more years."

"This is the breakthrough brought about by a genius."

"Old Dong, I'm not trying to discourage you, but I know you want to achieve something. However, I really don't think the math competition will be very effective."

“Using competitions to recruit students through special means is nothing new, and many of these methods have already been overused.”

"No one can say for sure how effective it will be."

"But if we follow Dong's advice, what seems difficult may actually offer a glimmer of hope."

"You are now the president, and you bear this responsibility. You can think about it carefully."

At this moment, Xu Songyao also broke his silence.

He immediately followed behind Wang Donglai and began to persuade Dong Hua.

The expression on Dong Hua's face gradually calmed down from the initial embarrassment.

After a while, Dong Hua finally let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, Lao Xu, Academician Wang, it's easier said than done. Many things in this world are not as simple as we think."

"I know all this, but even for such a simple math competition, I still need to contact each university one by one and persuade them."

"The difficulty is actually not that easy, not to mention there are other things to do later, such as the holding of the competition."

"What should be done if something happens during the competition? What should be done if someone exploits loopholes in the system?"

"These are all troublesome matters."

"When I first came to Tangdu, I thought I could use Academician Wang's reputation to smoothly advance this matter."

"With Academician Wang's talent and age, it won't be long before the field of mathematics in China becomes Academician Wang's backyard."

"Organizing subsequent competitions will not be too difficult."

"I won't hide my little thoughts from you two."

Dong Hua was very frank and spoke her mind directly.

Wang Donglai and Xu Songyao were not surprised.

"Chairman Dong is also working for the development of the industry, and he is a role model for us all."

"It's only natural to have a few thoughts."

Wang Donglai smiled and comforted Dong Hua.

"call!"

“Academician Wang, you are providing subsidies to master’s and doctoral students in mathematics. Logically speaking, I should vigorously promote this.”

"However, this kind of thing is difficult to do."

"Because the higher-ups have many considerations. If it's given to mathematics, should it be given to physics? Should it be given to biology? Should it be given to chemistry?"

"It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality. When the government introduces a policy, it always has to consider many factors."

"So Galaxy Technology can do this, but I can't bring it up."

Just as Dong Hua was speaking, Wang Donglai interrupted, saying, "Chairman Dong, I actually have a suggestion."

"Galaxy Technology's thirst for high-end talent is evident to all, and it is also willing to invest resources to support some students."

"I wonder if we can reach some cooperation in this area."

"For example, we could establish a charitable association specifically to support mathematics scholars."

"At the same time, could we also use associations to increase the frequency and depth of communication and learning?"

"It is impossible for a discipline to develop in isolation."

"What does Chairman Dong think?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Hua immediately fell into thought.

After a moment's thought, Dong Hua realized that Wang Donglai was extending an olive branch to him.

All I have to do is go along with it, and I'll be sure of this great opportunity.

As a newly appointed official, he was under the watchful eyes of countless people, both above and below him.

If I do something wrong, I don't know how many people will report me to it immediately.

Only by producing some real results can one truly establish a firm foothold.

The proposal put forward by Wang Donglai is a very good solution.

It can perfectly solve the problem of one's own unstable footing.

Once this news gets out, young students and scholars in the domestic mathematics community will owe me a favor to some extent.

If I make a small change to my self-promotion, I could probably gain more fame and honor.

However, Dong Hua is not stupid and naturally would not do that.

As these thoughts raced through his mind, a smile involuntarily appeared on Dong Hua's face.

"Academician Wang's suggestion is excellent, but this is a very important matter. I need to go back and discuss it further before I can make a decision."

Even if Dong Hua was very satisfied, he couldn't possibly agree immediately.

And everyone is well aware of the true meaning behind this set of official words.

Wang Donglai didn't mind and nodded slightly.

"Old Dong, didn't you have something else to say? What is it?"

At this moment, Xu Songyao suddenly asked a question.

Upon hearing Xu Songyao's words, Dong Hua's smile deepened.

"This is a great thing."

"Speaking of which, I must congratulate Academician Wang."

"I received an invitation from the International Mathematical Union, which mentioned that they would like to invite Academician Wang to give an academic report at this year's International Congress of Mathematicians and to serve as an award presenter to this year's winners."

Dong Hua announced the news with a broad smile.

to be frank.

This honor meant nothing to Wang Donglai.

After all, Wang Donglai is someone who has won the three top mathematics awards.

Therefore, there is an hour for academic presentations and award presenters.

It's nothing at all.

However, this is not the case with Dong Hua.

If Wang Donglai agrees to this during his tenure, it will undoubtedly attract international attention.

This is what political achievement looks like!
Therefore, Dong Hua naturally hoped that Wang Donglai would agree.

Moreover, Dong Hua didn't really think Wang Donglai would refuse.

After all, this is a great opportunity to make a name for oneself in front of mathematicians around the world.

Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night!
Wang Donglai is still a young man, how could he possibly control his vanity?

however.

Dong Hua was wrong after all.

Wang Donglai shook his head without hesitation and said, "President Dong, let's postpone this matter!" "I won't say why I wasn't invited. I can give an academic report anywhere. To put it bluntly, if word got out that I was going to hold an academic conference, it would attract mathematicians from all over the world, no matter which city it was held in."

"I don't think Chairman Dong would doubt this, would he?"

Wang Donglai asked Dong Hua.

Dong Hua nodded quickly and said, "Of course. If Academician Wang were willing to hold an academic seminar, countless people would be tempted."

"Yes, if that's the case, why should I go to this International Congress of Mathematicians?"

“We always say that we need to integrate into the international community, but in the past, because we were backward, we suffered so much discrimination and unfair treatment.”

"Now that we've developed, why should we still put up with this?"

"Many people have not adapted to our development; their thinking is still outdated."

"Now that we have become strong, we must change our previous practices."

"Why do they ask me to give academic presentations? Because my academic achievements are strong, so they need to use them to enhance their image and elevate their prestige."

"As for me being the presenter, that would be even more ridiculous."

"My reputation and honors all come from my genuine talent and learning, which I have earned through my numerous papers."

"I am the one who bestows this honor upon it, not the other way around."

"The West prefers to use subtle means to gradually gain dominance."

"It might work for someone else, but it's impossible for me."

“We come from the East, and we are a country with a long history. Of course, we should use our own narrative methods to make our voices heard.”

"The top journals in mathematics are dominated by the West."

"It is an open secret that those white Anssa people hold power and suppress scholars of other races."

"Instead of enduring injustice within someone else's rules, we can step out and create our own rules."

"Only by confronting the rules with the rules can we gain respect."

"Chairman Dong, it's not that I'm disrespecting you, but from the very beginning, I was destined not to agree to this."

"This is just a test. If I agree, then there will be a more advanced test next time."

"Chairman Dong is probably aware that I have some rather sensitive projects. It's no exaggeration to say that I personally possess considerable value to the Bald Eagle Federation."

At the end, Wang Donglai half-jokingly and half-seriously boasted.

Dong Hua originally thought this was good news, and that Wang Donglai would agree without hesitation.

However, after hearing what Wang Donglai said, her feelings suddenly became somewhat complicated.

To be honest, he didn't really agree with what Wang Donglai said.

However, given Wang Donglai's impressive math scores, he couldn't lie to his conscience.

After holding back for a while, he finally spoke up and said, "Since Academician Wang is unwilling to participate, I will represent Academician Wang in refusing when I return."

It's clear that Dong Hua still doesn't quite understand or agree with it.

Wang Donglai did not offer any further explanation or persuasion.

Adults only screen, but don't educate.

It would be better if Dong Hua understood; if not, Wang Donglai wouldn't bother.

Those who fall behind the times will inevitably be abandoned by them.

Dong Hua had come for these two matters. After they finished speaking, the three chatted briefly before seeing Dong Hua off.

Xu Songyao did not rush back to Tangdu Jiaotong University, but stayed instead.

"Donglai, I've noticed you seem a little different!"

Xu Songyao looked at Wang Donglai, thought for a moment, and then suddenly spoke up.

Wang Donglai nodded and readily admitted it, saying, "Uncle Xu, I've also figured some things out."

"At my point, things were actually quite dangerous."

"In the business world, although Galaxy Technology has a high market value and its technology is far ahead, its business philosophy and attitude towards employees are definitely unconventional in China."

“I know many people are hoping that Galaxy Technology will collapse so they can take it over.”

"If Galaxy Technology were just a traditional internet company, it would probably have been completely taken advantage of long ago."

"I'm lucky that I was able to get a sum of money and be kicked out of the house with a clean record."

"But I also have considerable scientific research talent, and I've even come up with some things, which complicates the situation."

"For those in power, money is both important and unimportant. It is important because it represents the economy, but unimportant because it is printed."

"Compared to money, the higher-ups naturally value technology more."

"Because technology can bring more than just money; it can bring other things as well."

"The reason why Tangdu City and even Qin Province are willing to give Galaxy Technology such great support is precisely because of this."

“I am very familiar with these things.”

"I don't want a career in politics, nor do I want to be a pure businessman. I would rather use my skills to change the world."

"If this goal can be achieved, what does Galaxy Technology matter, and what does a fortune of hundreds of billions matter?"

"If I don't even care about these things, I won't care about anything else either."

Xu Songyao's expression was quite complicated as he listened to Wang Donglai's words.

There were feelings of emotion, envy, reflection, and a slight sense of loss.

"Indeed, you can now be considered a national treasure scientist."

"Moreover, you are so young, your future achievements are limitless."

"These things really aren't a big deal."

Xu Songyao wasn't some old fogey, so he naturally understood what Wang Donglai meant.

"Space station, lunar base, manned lunar landing."

"If you really manage to do all that, I can't even imagine what it will be like at that time."

As they talked, Xu Songyao brought up Galaxy Technology's aerospace goals.

Wang Dong smiled confidently and said, "Uncle Xu, this is just the beginning."

"My goal has always been to go to space."

"A lunar base is only the first step toward space exploration. Whether it's establishing a base on Mars or developing space warships, these are all things that need to be considered."

Hearing the confidence and determination in Wang Donglai's tone, and looking at Wang Donglai's youthful face.

Xu Songyao couldn't help but sigh again, his eyes filled with envy.

His first thought was how wonderful it is to be young.

Energetic and full of dreams.

There are endless possibilities.

But he is too old to be like Wang Donglai.

"Hearing you say that makes me feel all excited, I wish I were thirty years younger."

Wang Donglai also said with a smile, "Uncle Xu is still young and in his prime. Regardless of anything else, he can't lose his spirit. That's his reputation."

"If Uncle Xu weren't the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, I would have wanted to recruit him to work at Galaxy Technology and make money for me!!"

When Xu Songyao heard Wang Donglai say that, he burst into laughter: "Haha, you know what, I actually had that idea. Just don't look down on me when I retire."

"You'd be most welcome! We eagerly await your arrival!" Wang Donglai replied immediately. (End of Chapter)
