After receiving the medals, certificates and a bonus of US$100,000 from the Cole Prize in Number Theory, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun stayed at the University of California, Berkeley for three more days to accept interviews from Western media and exchange mathematics with Professor Tao.

I have to say that it is really beneficial to have academic discussions at such a close distance with the Philippine Prize winner, not to mention that the other person is Professor Tao, who is known for his profound knowledge of mathematics and his innovative spirit.

Qin Ke felt rather reluctant to miss Shu. Apart from interviews, he spent almost all the rest of his time on academic discussions with Professor Tao. Ning Qingyun would only join the discussion when it came to the fields she was good at. The rest of the time, she was responsible for the two of them.

Make tea.

Recently she has learned to make tea, and it seems to work well.

While the domestic Internet is in an uproar, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are accepting their last interview before returning to China.

The interview standards this time were particularly high. Thirty or forty of the country's first-class academic media, which are relatively strong in mathematics, gathered together to conduct a collective interview with Qin Ke.

It can be said that this interview has a huge influence on the two people's reputation in the international mathematics community.

If they perform well, their prestige in the international mathematics community will be higher than that of the real winner of the Cole Prize for Number Theory, and will also be of great help in competing for the Fields Medal next year.

So when Uncle Chen asked whether he wanted to promote such a high-profile interview to "build momentum," Qin Ke thought about it and decided to agree with Ning Qingyun.

To this end, the two also conducted repeated mock questions and answers, and discussed the best answers to possible tricky questions.

The entire interview process went relatively smoothly. Most of the media basically looked at AMS's sake and didn't ask any excessive questions. Just when Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

stand up:

"Mr. Qin, Miss Ning, I know that you regard yourself as a typical nationalist to the outside world, and for this reason you have rejected all opportunities to study abroad and participate in scientific research. I am very curious, then why do you still publish your academic results in "

In international journals such as "Annals of Mathematics" and "New Advances in Mathematics"? Instead of choosing to publish in your domestic mathematics journals? I may think that you are just nationalists in disguise on the surface, but in fact you lack the understanding of your own country and nation.

To have a sense of identity, do you need to seek real recognition internationally? In the words of your Xia country, that is - 'foreign-loving people who shout patriotism'?"

These words can be said to be malicious and dirty, and they are full of traps.

The international mathematics community basically knows that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun will not study abroad, teach abroad, or join foreign research institutions in mathematics. Indeed, there are many people who criticize this, thinking that they are conservative and xenophobic.

"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"

The reporter's words undoubtedly played an excellent role in sowing discord and pushed Qin Ke and Qin Ke to the brink of danger.

For a moment, all reporters' eyes and all photographers' lenses were focused on Qin Ke.

In such an important interview occasion, if Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun use a sentence or even a word incorrectly in their answers, it will be magnified infinitely, ultimately seriously damaging their international and even domestic images.

Ning Qingyun is not good at such rhetorical contests, and the two of them have never simulated such a problem before.

The girl's palms were so nervous that they were covered in cold sweat, and she couldn't help but look at Qin Ke.

Qin Ke glanced at the questioner in the audience. He was an Asian male. With his eyesight far beyond ordinary people, Qin Ke could even see his nationality and name from the reporter's badge hanging in front of him.

Oh, he is a reporter from the Han Kingdom, an old rival of the Xia Kingdom. This is an extremely arrogant and inferior nation, and has always been unfriendly to the Xia Kingdom.

Qin Ke took a deep breath, calmed down, and replied: "First of all, Qingjun and I have never said on any occasion that we are nationalists. Yes, we love our nation, our motherland, and our compatriots.

, but this does not mean that we are xenophobic nationalists.”

“The reason why we don’t study abroad or work abroad for the time being is based on our own considerations. Firstly, we are quite satisfied with our current learning environment in China. Secondly, we can also study through online channels and participate in such academic exchange conferences.

Looking at the academic achievements published by international mathematicians, I feel that there is no need to leave the motherland and go to unfamiliar places to acquire knowledge that can be obtained at home."

"As for submitting articles to international mathematics journals, it is naturally because we are confident in our academic results and want to share our academic results with mathematicians around the world, communicate with each other, and learn from each other's strengths. When submitting articles to international mathematics journals,

It just shows that we are not the so-called xenophobic nationalists. If we only send papers to China and keep it to ourselves, then we are narrow-minded nationalists and not confident in our own academic achievements."

At this point, Qin Ke saw that the reporter was about to ask another question, so he interrupted: "After all, we Xia people are different from you. We have cultural and national self-confidence. We don't need to use our country's traditional culture like you do.

They all forcefully claim it as their own and shamelessly apply for World Heritage status! Oh, I also remembered that you are best at making things far-fetched and make things out of nothing. No wonder you can make up the phrase 'I know you present yourself as a typical nationalist to the outside world.'"

What Qin Ke said last was known to most of the media reporters present, and they laughed happily. At the same time, they secretly praised Qin Ke's answer in a row.

The Han reporter's face immediately turned the color of pig liver. He wanted to refute again, but Qin Ke ignored him and directly asked another reporter's question.

This collective interview, which presented both opportunities and crises, finally ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere. The performance of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun won praise from most participants.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Professor Tao, in particular, did not hesitate to praise the two of them in front of the media, saying, "Their future achievements are limitless. What I have not been able to do, say

Maybe they can do it. Yes, I have a good conversation with them, and I agree with their knowledge and character. They are my good friends."

Professor Tao is a "keyboard warrior" in front of the media and on the Internet. It is rare for him to receive such a high evaluation. Therefore, most of the voices in the international media have biased evaluations of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

On the positive side.

…

At the end of the last interview, the "campaign" of Qin Ke and Qin Ke came to a successful end. Professor Tao had to return to UCLA because of other important matters, and he said goodbye to Qin Ke and Qin Ke.

Qin Ke also decided to resume the original plan and take Ning Qingyun to visit several scenic spots within a radius of 200 kilometers.

The first stop of this scenic spot tour is the most famous Chinatown, but Chinatown is confusing because of the large number of people. Chen Ming, who is accompanying them, tactfully expresses his request for the two of them to take a car tour. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are not willing to let others

After working hard for the fun of the two of them, he nodded and agreed.

Chinatown is indeed very lively, and compatriots with yellow skin and black hair can be seen everywhere, which makes Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun feel an indescribable sense of intimacy. Because many places are restricted to traffic, the two of them did not completely visit Chinatown.

The last thing that remained in their minds was the numerous restaurants, bathing and sauna centers, as well as the signs and red lanterns printed in both Chinese and English that could be seen everywhere, as well as the Guangdong Province that the local compatriots insisted on speaking somewhat stubbornly.

dialect.

While lively, there is also a sense of loneliness.

"What are you thinking about, Jun'er?" Qin Ke saw Ning Qingyun propped up her chin and looking at the scenery outside the car window in a daze, so he couldn't help but gently leaned over and asked.

Ning Qingyun sighed softly and whispered: "I'm thinking, why don't they go back to the country? Why do they insist on staying in a foreign country?"

Probably remembering some of the harsh questions raised by the Western media during the last group interview yesterday, Ning Qingyun felt a little more emotional. After all, she and Qin Ke had achieved such academic achievements, but they were still being made things difficult for them, let alone

When talking about the compatriots living in Chinatown, you can almost imagine the kind of glares they usually receive.

Qin Ke saw that the girl couldn't hide her sadness and sadness, so he stretched out his hand to rub her hair and said with a smile: "I guess it's because they are used to it and because there is no place to go back. They have been in this land for hundreds of years.

The fallen leaves have long taken root, and the motherland is stranger to them than this land. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. It proves that our Xia people are a very strong nation, and they are also the most adaptable and diligent nation. No matter where we are, we can achieve success.

Take root and spread the branches."

Ning Qingyun couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle: "You, no matter what happens, it can turn from bad to good in your mouth."

Qin Ke stretched out his hand to hold the girl's delicate little hand and said with a smile: "This is called a positive and optimistic attitude. Always let yourself and others realize the beauty of life and feel happy. Of course, the main reason why I am so happy now is because you are here

around."

Ning Qingyun secretly glanced at Chen Lan who was driving and Chen Ming who was sitting in the passenger seat. She couldn't help but have a shy blush on her face, but she felt sweet in her heart.

The next attraction was the Golden Gate Bridge. At this time, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were able to get out of the car and walk to the sidewalk beside the bridge.

The two of them walked hand in hand.

"Seeing the sound of the waves on the beach, I thought about taking you to the beach again, but unfortunately I never made it." Qin held the girl in his arms and stood on the edge of the guardrail on the sidewalk, watching the cruise ships buzzing under the bridge.

It sailed past with a whistle. The cool breeze blew, and the long hair of the girl next to him lightly brushed his face, bringing with it the familiar faint lime-like fragrance, which made him feel very comfortable both physically and mentally.

Ning Qingyun bit her lip lightly: "I always feel that when you mention the beach, you don't just want to play, but you have some kind of rogue purpose."

"I want to see you wearing a swimsuit. Are you considered a gangster?" Qin Ke said confidently.

"It's...it's not like I haven't seen it before." Ning Qingyun argued weakly with a red face.

"Every time you are very shy, you only show me a look for a while, and I don't appreciate it at all." Qin Ke always believes that his little cabbage has different beauty when he wears different clothes. Of course, if he doesn't wear them... ahem,

You can't say this, otherwise Ning Qingyun will be so embarrassed again. The two of them are obviously very close, but Qin Ke has never openly appreciated the most beautiful side of Ning Qingyun.

So, having a girlfriend who is very shy is really... interesting.

Every time he teased her and watched her give in little by little, Qin Ke felt very accomplished.

Anyway, Qin Ke felt that it was conservative girls like his own Xiao Baicai who attracted his heart the most, compared to those green teas who could easily play in various positions.

Qin Ke blinked: "By the way, Jun'er, I heard that the new hotel we are staying in tonight has a bathtub. Do you want to take a bath with me?"

Ning Qingyun blushed and widened her eyes. Why does this bad guy always say such embarrassing things so naturally?

"Just once, okay?"

"No...it won't work." Ning Qingyun shook her head vigorously. Just thinking about it made her feel like she would explode with shame, and this bad guy would definitely take the opportunity to do bad things.

"I promise not to do anything bad, otherwise, you can put on your swimsuit again."

Seeing Qin Ke giving in repeatedly, Ning Qingyun finally relented and said weakly: "I...I didn't bring a swimsuit."

Qin Ke knew that she agreed as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly said: "We will go shopping later, and I just happened to buy a pair of swimming trunks."

Ning Qingyun remained silent, and then she saw Qin pulling her back.

"Hey, Qin Xiaoke, are you leaving so soon?"

"I can't wait to check into the hotel."

…

Qin Ke said that it was just a joke to ask Ning Qingyun to return to the hotel. It was rare to take Ning Qingyun abroad to play, and the most important thing was to let her have a good time.

So they went to Jiuquhua Street and Fisherman's Wharf for some fun, and then the two of them checked into a quite luxurious hotel.

Walking into the gorgeous and spacious couple's suite, you will find beautiful decorations everywhere, and the decoration is even more luxurious, which makes people fascinated.

Ning Qingyun was a little uneasy and said: "Qin Xiaoke, the school arranges for us to stay in such a good hotel every time and never asks us to pay. Isn't it bad?"
