Chapter 102: Talking about my thesis to my classmates? Forty yuan in subsidies, how should I choose between eight letters?
On the afternoon of October 3rd, Wang Duoyu took half a day off, and Zhu Ling also took half a day off. The two of them visited the Forbidden City for a while, and the whole afternoon was spent there.

They did not go to visit the Forbidden City purely, but chatted while walking around. After all, they had plenty of time and did not want to go anywhere else, so visiting the Forbidden City was the most suitable place for them.

I had dinner at five o'clock, bought gifts in Xidan, and took the train to leave Beijing on time at seven o'clock.

Bang! Bang!
The train headed north and arrived safely in Ice City after nearly twenty hours.

"Thank you, Lao Fan. I've already told you that there's absolutely no danger in taking a train. You're worrying too much."

Walking out of the Ice City Railway Station, Wang Duoyu said with a smile, but Fan Rongqing shook his head:
"It's no use telling me about this. You have to talk to your boss. It's not something I can handle anyway."

"It's great that you're safe, but I'm just worried about the worst. Okay, I'll get you back to school safely, and my mission will be accomplished."

"Okay, see you next time."

When Wang Duoyu returned to dormitory 303, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, there was no one in the dormitory.

After putting down the gift, he did not go to the library, but stayed in the dormitory reading.

This time when I went to Beijing, I didn’t read much while staying there, but I still finished reading several books while taking the train back and forth.

Even so, Director Wu Congxin has helped purchase so many foreign journals from abroad, so he will not be short of books in the next one or two months.

In the evening, Rong Guangxia, Yu Xinyao, Lou Jianguo and others came back. They were very surprised to see Wang Duoyu sitting in his seat reading a book.

Especially when they saw that Wang Duoyu had brought back a lot of gifts for them, they were so happy that they grinned from ear to ear.

"Wow, these are the cakes from the Guixiang Village Food Store that Old Yuan mentioned. Wow, they're delicious! This is my first time eating them."

Lou Jianguo has become a bad person and starts to spit out all kinds of dirty words.

But he was right, the pastries in Guixiangcun Food Store were indeed delicious.

There is no technology and hard work in this era. These pastries are all very exquisite and made with real ingredients.

People don’t have much oil in their stomachs and mostly eat vegetarian food, so they have no resistance to these pastries.

At the dormitory door, Yuan Jigang and Zhu Hanting also walked in.

The two were particularly exaggerated, especially Yuan Jigang, who had his eyes wide open when he saw more than ten boxes of cakes:
"Duoyu, you didn't go to the grocery store to buy some food, did you? My goodness, this is too much, isn't it? You can't pack food like this, you're breaking the law."

Since he was a child, Yuan Jigang had always wanted to eat the cakes from Guixiang Village Food Store, but he could not eat them often because although his family was not short of money, they lacked food coupons.

Even now, food is rationed and you can't eat as much as you want.

And what Wang Duoyu did was simply awesome to the extreme.

"Duoyu, where did you get so many food coupons?"

Zhu Hanting asked a crucial question. Wang Duoyu smiled and said, "It was given by the company. It can't have just fallen from the sky, right?"

"By the way, what exactly are you doing in the capital this time? You're not going to keep it a secret again, are you?"

"Didn't I say that?"

Wang Duoyu was stunned for a moment. Seeing Rong Guangxia and the others eating cakes and shaking their heads, he immediately slapped his forehead in surprise and said:
"You all know I'm a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics. This time I'm here to attend a seminar."

A group of people booed and glared, wondering why the disparity in this world was so huge.

Comparing people with each other is so annoying!

"Then tell me quickly, what important people did you meet? What did you learn?"

While Lou Jianguo was still asking questions in a naive manner, Zhu Hanting, Rong Guangxia and others had already sat down, took out their books and started to read them.

The gap between them and Wang Duoyu is already very large, and according to the current trend, it will only get bigger.

So we have to get closer.

Zhu Hanting stared at the book, listening to the casual conversation between Wang Duoyu and Lou Jianguo with his ears perked up, but in his mind he was thinking about the manuscript he submitted at the end of last month. He didn't know when it would be approved for publication.

Just wait, one day you will see my name in the journal!
The next day, Wang Duoyu went to the office of the Department of Computational Mathematics to get a book from Director Wu Congxin and return several journals he had borrowed before.

"Duoyu, you're back. Come here, come here. Is this the paper you wrote?"

When Wu Congxin saw Wang Duoyu, he immediately called him over with a smile on his face and pointed to the paper in the journal "Science China Mathematics" and said:

"I've seen it, your name is written on it, and your name is on several issues, it's really good."

"I was planning to give a lecture on mathematical models to my classmates in the professional class, and I found this paper in the journal. It just so happens that you're back now, so why don't you give the lecture later?"

Wang Duoyu glanced at the title of the journal, which was the paper "Mathematical Models Described from the Perspective of Order Structure and Lattice Topology Using Spatial Relationships". When he heard Director Wu's proposal, he immediately shook his head.

"Director, those are all my classmates. It's not appropriate for me to speak here. Besides, I have something else to do today."

"That's right, you still need to write your paper. Okay, I'll just do it."

Seeing this, Wu Congyin did not force it.

Mathematical models have been one of the most popular mathematical topics abroad in the past decade or so. Wu Congxin also keeps up with international trends and teaches such courses to students in professional classes.

Just when Wang Duoyu went to the library to read, Wu Congqin came to the classroom with a journal.

There are about forty people in the classroom, including Jian Xianglan, Xue Xiaoling, Dai Yian, Zhu Hanting and others, because they do not need to attend the basic class, this is a professional class.

"Hello, students. Today I'm going to talk to you about a paper. The title is 'Using Spatial Relationships.'"

On the podium, as soon as Wu Congqin finished speaking, a group of people below the stage were stunned. Why did the three words "Wang Duoyu" sound so familiar?
Especially Wang Duoyu's classmates like Jian Xianglan and Zhu Hanting, they all opened their mouths wide with a look of as if they had seen a ghost.

The paper published in the journal "Science China Mathematics" was actually written by their classmate? And Director Wu even used it as an example in class?
Wow, I’ve really broadened my horizons!

Zhu Hanting was completely confused and didn't react for a long time. Director Wu's explanation of the mathematical model described by topology made him very confused.

After Director Wu finished speaking, he couldn't help but raise his hand and ask, "Professor Wu, was this paper written by Wang Duoyu from our class? The same Wang Duoyu who shares my dorm room?"

"Yes, it's the paper he wrote. You've read it before, right?"

Shrimp and pig heart!
When had he read the paper? The whole dormitory only knew that Wang Duoyu had written an article in the Journal of Mathematics. Everyone thought he had written just one paper, and that was it. They never expected that there was more than one!

In the professional class of the Department of Computational Mathematics, Zhu Hanting, Jian Xianglan, Xue Xiaoling and others all felt the disparity in the world.

"Wang Duoyu has already published eight papers in the journal 'Science China Mathematics', but there should be two more in October, and another in the 'Acta Mathematica Sinica'."

"Classmates, you don't need to compare yourself with such a genius. Just be yourself."

Wu Congqin's words were still echoing in their ears, but Jian Xianglan and the others had no idea where their minds were going. This was truly shocking.

Ding Dong!

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and someone rang the bell outside the classroom building on time.

As soon as the get out of class was over, Zhu Hanting, Yu Xinyao, Tian Maohua and others were surrounded by Jian Xianglan and others. Because they were roommates with Wang Duoyu, they must know Wang Duoyu better.

After some inquiries, Zhu Hanting and the others were also very confused, because they only knew about the paper Wang Duoyu published in the Acta Mathematica Sinica.

"Can you tell us about that paper? I want to learn it!"

Xue Xiaoling asked with gritted teeth, pleading in her eyes.

There are not many girls in the Department of Computational Mathematics. Since Xue Xiaoling spoke so softly, Zhu Hanting and the others really wanted to agree. Unfortunately, they didn't quite understand the paper.

Perhaps it was because of shame, or perhaps because Wang Duoyu didn't often stay in the dormitory, so Zhu Hanting and the others never asked Wang Duoyu any help with math problems.

After all, we are all arrogant and proud, and we are all chosen by heaven. We always feel reluctant to ask for advice from our peers or even people who are younger than us.

Xue Xiaoling and the others were very disappointed when they heard Zhu Hanting's negative answer.

Jian Xianglan looked back at the content of the paper written by Professor Wu on the blackboard. Their eyes were complicated, but gradually became firm.

"He's already ahead of all of us. It's hard for me to catch up, but I won't give up. I still have the opportunity to study abroad. I will definitely catch up with him, or even surpass him!"

In the library, Tang Fengzhen came again to invite Wang Duoyu to participate in their physics department project, and also told him that Professor Dai Wenyue had offered him a monthly subsidy of 40 yuan.

In just over a week, the subsidy was increased by another ten yuan.

After hearing this, Wang Duoyu was stunned. He didn't intend to take advantage of Dai Wenyue and the others, but he was really busy writing his thesis at that time, so he refused.

But he was also right. Today was already the fifth, and he hadn't taken the initiative to go to the Physics Department to find Dai Wenyue, so he was misunderstood.

"Student Wang, we really need you for this project. The calculation methods you mentioned earlier are very suitable. Our Professor Dai has been praising you all the time."

Tang Fengzhen continued to persuade:
"So I hope you can consider this. Forty dollars a month is already a lot."

Suddenly, Wang Duoyu responded with a smile, "Sister Tang, do you know? I'm actually an intern researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and I get a salary of 62 yuan a month."

Wages and subsidies are two different things.

It’s just like the subsidies for college students, which are given by the state. As long as you are no longer a college student, the subsidies will be taken back immediately.

But the salary is different, because jobs in this era are stable jobs that can last a lifetime, and can even be passed down from father to son, son to grandson, and from generation to generation.

Project subsidies are one level lower than student subsidies. If the project is completed or the project runs out of money, the subsidies will definitely be cut off, which is a greater risk.

"No wonder you look down on our project. It turns out you have such a high salary." Tang Fengzhen's face was full of complexity and envy.

The junior student in front of him has a monthly salary of 62 yuan, which is a guaranteed income, plus a monthly subsidy of more than 20 yuan for college students. Of course, he looks down on the 30 yuan monthly subsidy mentioned by Dai Wenyue.

Without waiting for Wang Duoyu to speak, Tang Fengzhen turned and left. She had to go and report the matter to Professor Dai. Even forty dollars was not enough to invite Wang Duoyu, so it seemed that she had to think of other ways.

Wang Duoyu: “.”

He was speechless for a moment, feeling that he had messed up. He had originally thought about seeing if it was possible to get more subsidies, after all, the dual-axis gyroscope drift test bench project was almost finished.

If he joins in at this time, the project may be completed faster, so the subsidy that Dai Wenyue mentioned will not last long.

In that case, he might as well ask for more subsidies.

Unexpectedly, Tang Fengzhen turned around and slipped away without giving him a chance to speak.

Forget it, I am lucky to get it, but I am destined to lose it.

At noon, he went back to the cafeteria to have lunch. Because he was reading in the library, he could avoid the peak period of lunch and arrived at the cafeteria ten minutes earlier than other students, so he didn't have to queue.

After lunch, he went to the post office next to the school to pick up the mail, and sure enough, there was a letter.

It has been piling up for several days. After all, he returned to Harbin Institute of Technology yesterday afternoon and has been staying in the dormitory without going out.

After counting, there were eight letters in total. Three letters came from Liu Xiaoli, two were sent by old lady Zhou Yanru, one was written by Sun Shouyi, and the other two were sent by "People's Literature" and "Mathematical Annals".

Wang Duoyu first checked Liu Xiaoli's letters, three in total. He thought there was something going on, but it turned out not to be the case. They were just describing her recent troubles.

Although she didn't elaborate, Wang Duoyu could clearly see the longing revealed between the lines.

To be honest, he has already confirmed his relationship with Zhu Ling and they are just short of getting the marriage certificate, but deep down, he still prefers Liu Xiaoli.

why?
Because Liu Xiaoli is willing to have a baby, but Zhu Ling is not.

During their previous interactions, Wang Duoyu had already tentatively asked her about it, and she was more inclined not to have children.

Zhu Ling is not so paranoid now. Maybe if he tries, he should be able to convince her, even if he does it first and asks her later.

But Wang Duoyu can’t take care of the child by himself, right?
But Liu Xiaoli is different. Maybe she is like Zhu Ling, naturally beautiful and a very career-oriented woman, but she can have children and give up everything for her children, even her husband.

Of course, if he really chooses Liu Xiaoli, Wang Duoyu will definitely not let the other party give up on him.

"Fuck, why do I feel like a scumbag? No, no, no, I'm not a scumbag. I just haven't figured out who I am and what I want."

Reading Liu Xiaoli's letter, Wang Duoyu was filled with thoughts and thought of Zhu Ling again.

Ugh!
It’s difficult, how to choose?
