Chapter 420: Dinner

Chapter 420
December 25th, Christmas.
Cheng Nuo, who had spent the night with He Youjun yesterday, slept until noon before crawling out of the bed in a daze.
Opening the window, the outside of the house was already covered in silver covered by a heavy snowfall last night. Many children wore thick coats, blushing, chasing awkwardly on the snow.
Looking further away, some people have already placed Christmas trees in their courtyards. There are various shining trinkets hanging on the trees. The children look out under the trees, raising longing eyes.
Cheng Nuo's eyes fell into a brief loss of consciousness.
I wonder, is it snowing over there?
Calculating carefully, it has been nearly five months since I left my hometown to study in the United States. The feeling of homesickness became stronger and stronger.
A few years ago when I was at Tsinghua University, I didn't have this feeling, but now facing an unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar culture, all the unsuitability has amplified Cheng Nuo's thoughts.
"This winter vacation, I must return home!" Cheng Nuo secretly decided in his heart.
Shaking his head and putting aside these sad thoughts, Cheng Nuo began to ponder today's dinner.
Cheng Nuo had received news from Professor Fresnel yesterday. A total of 76 people will attend this mathematics dinner. Four top universities in Cambridge: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Boston University, and Brandeis University. invite.
A total of 60 full professors, 16 associate professors and other outstanding young mathematicians participated.
Needless to say, the sixty full professors naturally.
Among the sixteen invited mathematicians under the title of full professor, the oldest is only thirty-five years old, all of whom are expected to receive the title of professor within five years.
This shows how rare it is for Cheng Nuo to get an invitation letter from it.
For the dinner at the International Congress of Mathematicians, Cheng Nuo did not catch up due to running away early. Therefore, the dinner banquet gathered by the bosses should be the highest grade banquet he has ever attended.
Cheng Nuo naturally attached great importance to it.
Putting on a straight suit, went to the barbershop downstairs to make a slightly mature haircut, and waited for Professor Fresnel to call.
…………
At six o'clock in the evening, a Chevrolet slowly parked under the door of the Rising Hotel, a five-star hotel in Cambridge.
Two people, one old and one young, got out of the car. They took the elevator and went directly to the eighteenth floor of the hotel, and handed the invitation letter to the waiter standing at the door.
"Two, please come in!" the waiter said politely.
"Is Professor Maas here?" Professor Fresnel asked casually.
"Not yet... uh, it's here now." The waiter glanced at the elevator entrance.
Professor Fresnel and Cheng Nuoqiqi turned around to look.
An old man with gray hair and a skinny complexion, supported by a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, walked slowly toward this side.
Needless to say, Cheng Nuo naturally knew that this was Professor Ma Si, the organizer of this dinner.
As a legendary figure who has made countless achievements in his life and once represented a glorious era in mathematics, he is no different from an ordinary old man in his dying years.
Professor Maas became famous in the last era when Professor Fresnel became famous. As a younger generation, Professor Fresnel greeted him.
"Mr. Mars, let us just watch this kind of thing, and I bother you to come here in person." Professor Fresnel and Professor Mars shook hands enthusiastically.
"Hey!" Professor Ma Si waved his hand, the wrinkles on his face deepened a bit, and said with a smile, "I organized it myself, and it can be regarded as a half master. There is no reason why it can't come."
"Besides, I heard that there was an interesting little guy here today, and I want to get acquainted." With that, Professor Ma Si moved his gaze away from Fresnel and fell on Cheng Nuo, who was standing silent. He said with a smile, "Fresnel, this should be the genius student you mentioned?"
"Well, Mr. Mars, this is this one." Fresnel winked at Cheng Nuo while saying.
Cheng Nuo immediately understood, and took a few steps forward, "Professor Ma Si, student Cheng Nuo."
"Yes, your deeds, I heard Kyle and a few others told me. You have such a talent, and the reason to devote yourself to our boring profession of mathematics is really a blessing in our mathematics world!"
"Students dare not be." Cheng Nuo naturally wouldn't pretend to be in front of this big man, and answered honestly, "Besides, math is not boring to me, but rather interesting."
"Oh?" Professor Ma Si showed a grandfather-like smile on his face, "I rarely see people who say math is interesting."
"Student Cheng Nuo, do you have any ideas to transfer to my school?" Professor Ma Si asked abruptly.
Professor Fresnel and Cheng Nuo were shocked almost at the same time.
Dig the foot of the wall, and dig the foot of the wall in person.
Cheng Nuo shrugged helplessly: Am I so popular?
Sure enough, being too good is not a good thing!
Professor Fresnel also had a pain on his face.
If someone were to change someone and dare to dig a wall in front of him, Professor Fresnel might be able to fight that person directly. Professor Comas...
Fresnel really doesn't have that courage.
Seeing the two change colors at the same time, Professor Mars couldn't help but laughed, "Don't be so nervous, just kidding. I'm so old, I don't have the time and energy to cultivate a mathematical genius."
"Following Professor Fresnel is the right choice."
Cheng Nuo and Professor Fresnel breathed a sigh of relief.
"But..." Professor Ma Si turned his words and lifted their hearts again.
"However, Cheng Nuo, you can often visit Harvard's Academy of Numbers. At least in terms of number theory, the development of our Academy of Numbers is not weaker than that of any university in the world."
In terms of hard power, Harvard's math major is not as good as MIT, but the gap is not that big.
When Professor Mas became famous, he focused on number theory ~EbookFREE.me~ Therefore, Harvard University has always been at the forefront of the world in the development and research of number theory, which is not comparable to MIT.
The middle-aged man who supported Professor Mars by the side whispered, "Teacher, it's almost time, we should go in."
"Oh, okay, okay." Professor Ma Si said, "Kyle, and Fresnel, let go, don't hold me, just let Cheng Nuo come. I have a lot to say. Talk to classmate Cheng Nuo."
"Teacher!" Kyle couldn't help raising his volume.
"Why, are you still afraid that I won't be able to fall?" Professor Ma Si stared.
Kyle took a step back silently.
Cheng Nuo quickly accepted, and slowly walked into the banquet hall with Professor Ma Si.
Therefore, under the surprised or bewildered eyes of everyone in the banquet hall, Cheng Nuo accompanied Professor Ma Si into the banquet hall simultaneously.
