Invited to be a Professor!

(Translated and Edited by: Nakahara)

As they made their way towards the Hilton Hotel, many people stopped to talk, their faces beaming with delight.

The following second, everyone's footsteps came to a complete halt all at once.

Because they were taken aback when they discovered a young guy on the signing board in the hall, meticulously putting down labor-intensive calculations.

When Huang Zihao saw this, a coating of cold perspiration poured from his forehead, and he instantly started to worry.

He had just informed Dean Hu Chuan that he had promised him that the International Mathematics Conference would be conducted in a magnificent and beautiful way,

However, in the blink of an eye, the signature board was scribbled.

How should he explain himself to Dean Hu Chuan?

"Tap!"

At this moment, two young students came from the distance.

When they saw, Hu Chuan, Huang Zihao, and the others, they couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Huang Zihao reprimanded them in a low voice: "Didn’t you arrange the venue? How come there are people here?!”

"We had a sudden stomachache and went to the bathroom..." the tall boy tried to explain.

"Stomach hurts, huh! Look at what the signature board looks like" Huang Zihao pointed towards it.

The two students hurriedly looked in the direction of the signature board.

"This... why would anyone write a calculation on it?" the tall boy inquired.

"Now, that you’ve seen him. Stop that bastard!" Huang Zihao scolded fiercely.

The two students reacted immediately, but just as they were ready to take a step forward, a sudden voice stopped them in their tracks

At this time, Hu Chuan, who had not spoken, said: "Don't bother him!"

Huang Zihao and the two students paused slightly, their faces full of puzzlement.

Hu Chuan, on the other hand, didn't say anything else and instead simply looked at Lin Fan, who was continuously jotting down numbers.

The old professor Song Guotao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but also look over.

The next moment, his pupils shrank slightly, and he spoke in a surprised tone: "He... is he answering Zhou's conjecture!?"

A young mathematics teacher called Hu Tian, asked: "Professor Song, do you think he’s capable of answering Zhou's conjecture?"

But, in this instant, Hu Chuan said excitedly: "He... has already answered it!"

Lin Fan wrote the final answer: When 2^(2^n)＜p＜2^(2^(n+1)), Mp has 2^(n+1)-1 is confirmed a prime number.

“Yours truly, Lin Fan" Lin Fan signed his name on the white panel and went directly to the elevator, eager to return to his rented room and relax.

He first took the plane for two hours to come back, and then solved an extremely complicated math problem, naturally, he was excited to finally sleep.

Hu Chuan hurriedly trotted to catch up with him. It was difficult to conceal the look of surprise he had on his face when he saw Lin Fan's features for the first time.

Then, he proactively stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, can I take a moment to get to know you? I’m Hu Chuan, Dean of the School of Mathematics for Jiangbei University."

Earlier, Hu Chuan guessed from Lin Fan's back that he was young

But, he never expected him to be so young.

‘I am afraid that he is younger than the two graduate students who set up the venue today.’

Respecting the old and loving the young was a traditional Chinese virtue.

Hu Chuan is over 80 years old yet he treats others with the respect they deserve.

Lin Fan naturally responded politely, and then reached out and shook his hand while saying: "Hello, my name is Lin Fan."

"Mr. Lin, It is really hard to imagine that you are so young but had studied prime numbers to this degree, and even solved Zhou’s conjecture." Hu Chuan sighed sincerely.

"If I may ask.. which university do you teach at, Mr. Lin?" Hu Chuan asked tentatively.

Lin Fan smiled and replied, "I am not a professor."

Hu Chuan’s reaction was not of disappointment, but rather one of excitement.

"Then Mr. Lin, are you interested in coming to our Jiangbei University as a mathematics professor?" Hu Chuan asked eagerly.

Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Hu Chuan to offer such an invitation.

When Hu Chuan noticed Lin Fan pondering for a moment, he hesitated before saying, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, Jiangbei University will definitely provide you with the best conditions."

"In addition, if Mr. Lin has other requirements, he can also make them, and we will try our best to satisfy you."

Lin Fan explained: "Dean Hu, you have misunderstood what I mean. I haven’t graduated from college but instead dropped out.

Hu Chuan hurriedly said: "This doesn't affect anything. With Mr. Lin's mathematical ability, he doesn't need a diploma to prove it!"

For the average person, education is really important.

But, the young man who directly answered Zhou's conjecture is obviously not an ordinary person.

No one knows how much he will achieve in the near future.

Now, Hu Chuan has finally encountered the chance to lighten up the mathematics world, so it was natural to grasp that opportunity!

Lin Fan saw the sincerity in Hu Chuan's eyes.

He is about to quit his job, but he didn’t know what to do in the future.

In addition, Lin Fan also held a trace of longing for college life in his heart.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan finally replied: "Professor of Jiangbei University, forget it. But, if I were to go to Jiangbei University to study, maybe I would still be interested."

A Professor needed to teach people, counsel, or even guide them to a correct path however it was extremely troublesome being one.

Obviously, being a student is more in line with Lin Fan's wish.

Relax, be at ease, and be unrestrained.

When Hu Chuan heard the first half of Lin Fan’s sentence, his face was full of regret.

However, after listening to the second half of Lin Fan's sentence, his whole old face like a crumpled manuscript paper, crumpled into a firm ball, and spoke in great joy: "Okay, I will go through the enrollment procedures for Mr. Lin later."

In fact, if Hu Chuan lets a person with only a high school degree become a mathematics professor at Jiangbei University, there will surely be problems about it.

Therefore, it was much simpler to recruit him as a student.

The two almost hit it off immediately.

Then, Hu Chuan said: "Yes, Mr. Lin, today the deans, professors and teachers of many universities in Jiang Province will all come to the hotel to participate in the math seminar. I don’t know if I can ask you to come to the stage and explain prime numbers. Would you like to?"

Lin Fan yawned and replied, "No, I have to go back to my room to sleep, so I won't participate."

For the average person, speaking in front of many deans and professors is definitely a very rare thing.

However, for Lin Fan, it was much better to sleep a bit longer.

Hu Chuan felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it too much, so as not to make Lin Fan unhappy.

Lin Fan entered the Hilton Presidential Suite and took a hot bath first.

Then, at a cost of 100,000 yuan, the waiter brought up a table full of seafood and a bottle of X0. ($15,551)

【Ding! The host has spent 100,000 yuan, therefore, you have received 10 red envelopes, would you like to open them all at once? 】

"Yes!"

Lin Fan clicked the OK button casually.

【Ding! Congratulations, you got 19,999 yuan. 】($3,102)

【Ding! Congratulations, you got 2,000 yuan. 】($310)

...

【Ding! Congratulations, you got 10,000 yuan. 】($1,551)

When the 10 red envelopes were all opened, Lin Fan received a total of 112,500 yuan. ($17,450)

In other words, he spent money to eat a big meal, but in return, he had made more than 10,000 yuan in one sitting.

Lin Fan looked at the SMS reminder from the bank, with a strange look on his face.

After eating and drinking, Lin Fan laid on the soft big bed and fell asleep contentedly.
