"I'm starting to wonder if you have some sadistic tendencies. Before long, the psychological counseling room will be lined up again. Every year, the students who are crying because of you can line up several times around the field…"
As she spoke, the red-haired woman saw Lu Weiming's serious expression and realized that something was wrong. She asked, "What happened? Why is your expression like this? Did something bad happen?"
"Nothing bad happened."
Lu Weiming hesitated for a few seconds and handed the paper to her. "You'll know after you take a look."
The red-haired woman was still in a teasing mood at first, but as she read further and further, her expression changed. "Old Lu, you didn't write this yourself, right?"
Her gaze glanced at the name on the leftmost column—Wang Dong.
What did this mean?
Could it be that this paper was written by a student?
Impossible!
She had never heard of a mathematics genius entering the finance department!
She looked at Lu Weiming uncertainly. "So…"
Lu Weiming nodded heavily and said, "That's right, this paper was written by a new student this year."
"How can this be?!"
The red-haired woman looked at the name in surprise again. "If he's really that impressive, wouldn't the math department have heard about it long ago and rushed over to snatch him?"
"Because his college entrance examination results are last in the class."
It was also because of this that it didn't attract their attention.
The red-haired woman widened her eyes. "Old Lu, when did you learn to joke? Is this an exam paper written by someone ranked last?"
"I've already confirmed it. Wang Dong's ranking is placed at the end. He's also the only student who can write all the answers to the questions!"
Lu Weiming was sure that he wasn't hallucinating. The two of them looked at each other in disbelief, but this was reality.
At this moment, a white-haired elder in casual clothes walked over with a cup of tea.
He was Zhuge Ziwei!
Not only was he the vice-principal of Lin Liu, but he was also the director of the research center. He was once Lu Weiming's professor. The students he taught could be said to be geniuses!
He could be said to have nurtured a lot of successful students.
Although there were many wrinkles on his face, the kind expression in his eyes was very obvious. Coupled with the tea cup in his hand, he looked like an idle old man outside!
"What are you guys discussing? Why is it so lively? Are you interested in letting me participate?" He said with a smile.
Seeing that he was here, Lu Weiming handed the paper in his hand to him. "Professor, you came here at the right time. Take a look!"
After roughly glancing at it, he was first shocked. Then, the more he looked at it, the more careful he examined it. The solution to this question was indeed exquisite!
He couldn't even think of some of the solutions.
His eyes instantly shot out a shocking light. "Interesting!"
The teacup in his arms fell to the ground with a bang. He grabbed the paper tightly with both hands and said, "Investigate! Investigate this student immediately! I want to know this student's background!"
He said excitedly, "Not only are these questions all correct, but some solutions are even better than the reference answers! Especially the final big question!"
"This is one of the seven major mathematics problems recognized by the American Clay Mathematics Institute, the Riemann hypothesis!
This student actually gave a feasible proof method. If this news is released, it will shake the global mathematics world! "
"No! The whole world!"
Zhuge Ziwei saw hope in this paper. His hands trembled as he said, "There's hope for my Lin Liu University!"
He seemed to have thought of something and said to Lu Weiming, "This matter must not be leaked!"
He didn't want the good seedling that his school had finally produced to be taken away by others just like that!
At the thought of this, he looked around sternly and said, "This student will become our secret weapon. Firstly, let's lock this paper in my safe. Tell the others that it received full marks, but don't reveal the answers!
"Also, don't tell anyone about the Riemann hypothesis!
"We have to recruit this genius into our research center and make him a researcher. He's born to be a good seedling in mathematics! By the way, I have to get him an assistant!"
All the teachers were shocked!
The few students who had come to watch the show were also stunned!
What was going on?!
The last place actually became a genius in the mouth of the vice principal?
Were they in a dream?
Moreover, the researchers at the research center would only specially assign someone an assistant when they reached a certain level.
But who was Wang Dong?
He was a freshman in the finance department.
Now, not only was he recruited by the vice principal, but he was also going to be assigned with an assistant as soon as he entered?
Unbelievable!
Lu Weiming, who was in the office, also became excited. He said, "Professor, this student is actually a freshman in our finance department! He's at the door!"
He looked at the calm Wang Dong and said, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come here quickly!"
Wang Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and walked in. He had never cared about these pleasant reputations.
All he cared about was money.
Zhuge Zi looked at him excitedly and asked, "Are you willing to enter the research center?"
"How much can you give me every month?"
Wang Dong went straight to the point.
Zhuge Zi said without hesitation, "If it's you, I can try to get a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan from the higher-ups. If you succeed in developing something, it's not impossible to reward millions."
The path of academia usually ended up in a dead end. Everyone knew that people in this field were all destined to be poor.
It was already good enough that one could maintain his livelihood as the results were often not proportional to one's efforts.
If he developed a big invention, then the results would be good. If he couldn't, he could only wait to starve.
Thirty thousand yuan per month was already a lot for a student.
However, Wang Dong was an entrepreneur in his previous life. The money he earned every month was close to ten million yuan. In his opinion, this thirty thousand yuan was probably not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!
He sighed in his heart. It seemed like he didn't have to think about academia anymore. He should find another way.
After all, even after his company was taken away, he still got 50,000 yuan a month from his new job.
"Alright, I agree."
"Actually, academia is all about passion. Think about it, when you develop something, the whole country and even the world will know your name…"
Zhuge Ziwei thought that he was going to refuse, so he advised. After hearing Wang Dong's words, he was stunned for a few seconds. "What!? What did you say just now?"
Did he hear wrongly?
The other party agreed?
In his previous life, Wang Dong had known that the vice-principal wanted to dabble in academia, but unfortunately, he had no successors.
To be honest, he liked Lin Liu University a lot, so he didn't mind helping the vice-principal.
It was all for his love for academia!
He smiled and said, "I'm willing to enter the research institute, Vice-Principal Zhuge."
