When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First
Chapter 288 - 288 Graduating On The Spot, So Many Certificates?288 Graduating On The Spot, So Many Certificates?
As the saying goes, those who poach others will always be poached.
The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty and Professor Vincent had poached Luo Feng from the Finance Department, and now Elder Tang was poaching him from them. Gold would always be coveted, such as the current Luo Feng.
Elder Tang really liked him. He liked him so much that he made a promise at the thesis defense. He didn’t even wait to say it in private.
The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty couldn’t help but wonder why he was here.
“…Elder Tang, we’re in thesis defense. I mean, do you have any questions for Luo Feng’s thesis?” The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty emphasized again helplessly.
“Well…” Elder Tang looked at his notebook seriously and shook his head. “I haven’t figured it out yet. I’m not qualified to ask questions.”
Don’t say it so bluntly!
Alright… All of them were wiped out, and the secret weapon he hired was not of much use. No matter who they found, the outcome would be the same. If he had known earlier, he would not have bothered.
“However, I spoke to Professor Joshua on the phone before I came. Now, internationally, I think the success rate of this paper is 85%…” Elder Tang brought useful information.
The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty was delighted hearing this.
Luo Feng’s previous speech was very successful, but the solution to the world’s problems still required a rigorous verification process.
From that day onwards, it was said that many scholars had taken photocopies of the thesis and studied it in seclusion until now. This was because confirming the correctness of Luo Feng’s thesis was also an achievement for them.
It was also because the thesis was in the research stage. No one could say if it would succeed or not.
Now that Elder Tang had brought news of an 80% success rate, it meant that Luo Feng’s thesis had already been recognized by most scholars.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuccess was only a matter of time.
“Actually, I’m not qualified to be your judge.” Elder Tang suddenly said to Luo Feng, “You did something I couldn’t do, but I still came. Do you know why?”
Elder Tang’s tone suddenly carried a hint of sadness.
He looked at Luo Feng, as if he could see far away through his face.
That was a place that someone of Elder Tang’s age could not reach.
“Our country has a large population of more than a billion people, accounting for one-fifth of the world’s population. However, our achievements in the mathematics world are not proportional to our population base. Weak strength means that we have little say. We can only study under the rules set by others. To be honest, I also studied abroad.”
Elder Tang suddenly said from afar, “But Luo Feng, you’re different. You’re still young and can still achieve more. Perhaps I won’t be able to see it at that time, but I still hope that you can change everything!”
At the mention of excitement, tears flashed in Elder Tang’s eyes as he walked shakily to Luo Feng. “I hope that you can become the center of the world’s mathematics one day and prove to the world! Our countrymen are not inferior to any country!”
After hearing Elder Tang’s words, everyone present fell silent for a long time.
It was not that they did not realize the phenomenon that Elder Tang mentioned, but they could not change it.
The country had experienced a special historical change. There were many things to be done and everything was in a state of reconstruction. Many scholars had gone overseas to practice their arts alone.
After experiencing all kinds of things in the world and seeing the coldness and warmth of the world, he finally gave up on the good conditions and treatment overseas and returned to the country to participate in development.
After so many years, the only Chinese who could truly be called a mathematician was Elder Tang.
Even Jian Yang was born overseas and received western education. Some things were already different.
His achievements had nothing to do with the country.
This made Elder Tang worried. Who would lead the development of mathematics in the country after him? He was almost 70 years old. How many years would it take for him to sit in the classroom and listen to the young people’s thesis defense like now?
He had been searching all these time and finally seemed to be getting closer to his goal today.
The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty suddenly understood.
Why would Elder Tang, who had not interacted with Oxford for a long time, suddenly participate in Luo Feng’s thesis defense willingly?
In the end, he saw something from Luo Feng— Hope!
“Luo Feng, do you understand what I mean?” Elder Tang asked weakly, probing carefully.
Luo Feng pondered for a moment. “I don’t dare to say that I will definitely specialize in academics in the future, but I can promise you that, Elder Tang, I will do my best!”
Elder Tang’s eyes were moist as he said happily, “Good, good, good. I was right about you.”
At the end of the classroom, Yuan Yu was extremely touched. “This is truly a moment worth recording. This is our duty.”
“That’s right.” The cameraman was enlightened. He picked up the camera and accurately captured the precious scene of Luo Feng shaking hands with Elder Tang.
At this moment, they might not be able to imagine that this original photo was sold for a total of two million United States dollars 40 years later, when Luo Feng announced his withdrawal from academia as the number one in the mathematics world.
The collector named it “Legacy”.
…
When the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty saw this, he was so excited that he almost cried.
“Congratulations, Luo Feng. You’ve passed the thesis defense. You’ve graduated today!” The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty took the lead and applauded.
He took out a graduation certificate that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Luo Feng with both hands. “Now, I’ll present Luo Feng the graduation certificate.”
“It should have been given by the principal, but because of the special situation, the principal can’t be here, so I’ll do it for him.” He explained
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn general, the certificate should be awarded by the principal at the graduation ceremony.
However, Luo Feng’s graduation time was special, so they could not hold a graduation ceremony for him alone. Therefore, he could only keep everything simple.
The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty scratched his head in distress. He felt that it was too perfunctory.
At this moment, Elder Tang smiled and said, “I wonder if I may have the honor?”
The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty’s eyes lit up.
It was great that Elder Tang was willing to help. There was no one more suitable than him!
“Then I’ll have to trouble you!” He handed the certificate to Elder Tang and went to the door to move a stack in. “I’ll have to trouble you with these too!”
“What’s all these?”
“The bachelor’s degree certificate!”
“Master’s degree certificate!”
“PhD degree certificate!”
“major contribution awards, honorary awards.”
“There’s also the Entrepreneurship Award that the Dean of the Finance Faculty asked me to hand over.”
The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty took out a bunch of certificates and awards as if it was an application for fake certifications.
Luo Feng could not help but be stunned. “You’re giving me a PhD directly too?”
He had come to university with some longing. He had originally wanted to come back to study for two years after the company stabilized and earn a higher degree.
He had only attended university for a year and a half even though he obtained a PhD.
“Why don’t…” The Dean of the Mathematics Faculty also felt that it was a little ridiculous. He turned to Professor Vincent and said, “Why don’t we only give him a bachelor’s degree first and you be Luo Feng’s postgraduate mentor?”
“… Farewell!” Professor Vincent turned around and left.
