Chapter 479

Chapter 479: National Shock.

Qian Ruifeng was the parent to a child that would be taking the college entrance exams this year.

He was an ordinary person and his wife was ordinary too. They both worked for the government for half of their life without any outstanding achievements so they were still small employees.

But his son’s grades were great.

According to his scores in exams, his son could probably score around 620 points, which was enough to guarantee him into a 985 or 211 universities.

(Some universities in China are classified into those two numbers due to some projects, 985 had the best universities such as Peking or Tsinghua while 211 had universities just a tier below those.)

But who didn’t want their children to get into the best school?

So from the third year in high school, he would aim for the first-tier universities.

Although he was a bit behind to be considered into the top three universities such as Peking, Tsinghua and Fudan, he would still aim for those three.

As for the other schools, it would be just in consideration.

They would consider when the time came if it was a good major in a good university.

Because of the rapid development of ecological agriculture in recent years, Qian Ruifeng ranked China Agriculture University as a school to consider among second-tier schools.

This was the first day of the New Year.

Early in the morning, Qian Ruifeng had breakfast before going to his computer to check various news about the universities.

It was the internet age now and each university had their own Weibo and website where they updated news about them.

Some news could be some time obtained there.

He opened those Weibo accounts and checked the news of his preferred schools one by one.

Xx University of Science and Tech had made a big breakthrough in electronic transistors and if his son could enter that university, it would be very promising if he searched in that area.

There was also xx Medical University as it was said that they would lower their requirement for their major this year and if it dropped, maybe this popular major could be attainable to their son.

The requirement for xx University would increase again this year, it was indeed not easy to get into a good university.

China Agriculture University announced that the great mathematician Chen Huan was joining their school.

What the hell is this? What great mathematician is that?

A great mathematician that is still studying? Shouldn’t he be teaching?

Even if it was written wrong, this was still a university!

The image in Qian Ruifeng’s mind went straight down.

Then he thought it suddenly stopped.

Uh!

This is not right!

I seem to have heard of Chen Huan before…

He immediately went to take a closer look at the post posted by Chinese Agriculture University’s Weibo.

The message was very lengthy.

“A warm welcome to Chen Huan, a great mathematician, who chose to study in our China Agriculture University. In the next few years, we believe Chen Huan will achieve even better results! And continue to win glory and honor for our country and for the school!”

The following post had nine pictures.

The first, second and third were all foreign magazines and it also showed an article in a magazine.

The fourth picture showed teenagers standing together laughing as they held a trophy.

Qian Ruifeng finally knew why it felt so familiar after seeing the teenager in the middle.

Wasn’t Chen Huan the person who was known as the most impressive genius in China and had the individual and team gold medal in the IMO as well as advancing the solving of ‘Fermat’s Theorem’ until the last step?

His son once said that Chen Huan was his idol and also the idol of many of his son’s classmates.

They dreamed of being in the same major as Chen Huan.

However, it was certain Chen Huan would choose the mathematics department in either Peking, Tsinghua or Fudan.

The mathematics departments in those schools were the hardest to get into with the harshest requirements.

So his son basically gave up on it.

But he didn’t expect Chen Huan to give up studying in those three universities and chose the less known China Agriculture University.

Of course, CAU wasn’t some unknown or second-rate university.

However, they weren’t even ranked in the top 30 for their mathematics department!

What were the reasons for Chen Huan to choose a university like that?

If it weren’t for being the official Weibo of CAU, Qian Ruifeng would’ve thought this was a prank!

Actually,

There were many people who felt like him this morning.

Many people felt there was something wrong.

Yu Dingbian, the dean of the mathematics department in Fudan University, and Chang Guancheng, the dean of the mathematics department in Peking University, all called the office of CAU and asked them how they could spread fake news like that.

In the end, they got assured it was real.

And they also learned that Chen Huan wasn’t taking the math major but a major in agriculture!

How was this not a makeup story?

The two professors couldn’t believe it, so called Chen Huan.

Chen Huan readily admitted his decisions and before the two old people could get angry, he said his reasons.

“I will soon be able to prove ‘Fermat’s Theorem’ so research on the world of mathematics, for me, came to a conclusion.”

“Now it’s the time for me to contribute to the food security of our country! When I think of that fact there are still so many people that can’t eat to their fill and there are so many problems with pesticides and fertilizers, I feel responsibility on my shoulders.”

“I’m willing to devote a lot of my time to the people living in this land in hope they live a better life in this era!”

Yu Dingbian and Chang Guancheng almost puked blood.

They found out that they had nothing to say to persuade him.

Could they say that mathematics was more important than the people’s food?

It wasn’t something they could say.

Moreover, Chen Huan’s reason was very good with his dedicated and determined mind.

Chen Huan also told them he was about to finish and get the glory of ‘Fermat’s Theorem’.

His studies in mathematics already reached that level and 99% of the mathematicians in the world couldn’t compare to Chen Huan anymore.

So Chen Huan’s desire to temporarily change the direction of his research was in line with the personality of a genius.

It was just…

So painful!

I want to cry!

Chen Huan could have been a mathematician without equal and the best mathematician across the age.

Now, he had given up that glory and let down the pursuit of the Chinese in mathematics!

It wasn’t only those two men who got depressed during the New Year as Chen Huan entrusted I Like Mantis Shrimp to post the same thing as what he said to those two.

The people already couldn’t believe it and now they were even more stunned.

“WTF! Is he playing around!?”

“Sister Xiaofeng, don’t be so arrogant, alright? We didn’t even start learning calculus but you’re saying that math doesn’t challenge you anymore?”

“It may be really the case as someone that mostly proved ‘Fermat’s Theorem’!”

“So nutty! A super Theorem that had plagued the mind of countless mathematicians for hundreds of years but when it comes to Sister Xiaofeng, could he even guarantee that it would be soon solved?”

“I know I can’t compare to genius but how does a genius’ brain work? Why is he going to agronomy? Did he get brainwashed?”

“So what? Can’t he do that? at least Sister Xiaofeng has the intention and followed it by action, isn’t it great?”

“Uh… it’s great but doesn’t he know what he should do or not? As for agronomy…”

“Tsk, which person knows about knowledge before they even start to study it? With Chen Huan’s outstanding genius, it won’t take a look before he can produce great results!”

“Hahaha, I want to laugh a bit, Sister Xiaofeng, a trend setter, actually went to farming to become a farmer and a breeder…Hahaha, I’m sorry, it’s not that I’m looking down on those profession but I’m sure Sister Xiaofeng will look very funny with those costume on!”
