Chapter 527 - Chinese is what Im good at! (2/2)

Zhang Ye replied: ”It's fine. Just wait for me at the carpark.”

He kept his cell phone and put his sungla.s.s and face mask on. He was looking for a chance to slip away since he had come out here today with the intention of going on a date with Wu Zeqing. To him, that was the main event.

But with this move, everyone's focus quickly s.h.i.+fted back to Zhang Ye again.

”Little Zhang, what are you doing?” Elder Rong was a little taken aback.

Zhang Ye said his farewell to them, ”I have to leave first. There are still some matters that I must attend to.”

Fellow Wan immediately came over and said, ”We will still need your cooperation in the verification work afterwards. Since there's still a lot to do, it's better if you could come with us and be around.”

Zhang Ye gave a wave of his hand, ”Don't mind me. All of you are top and famous seniors in the mathematics world. I'm just here to have fun and don't really have the necessary skills. Anyway, since the proof has already been written on the whiteboards, please help yourselves to it. Verify whatever you want and I won't bother to stop you. Just do as you all see fit.”

w.a.n.g Yiming: ”.....”

The mathematicians were all exasperated. Aren't you being a little too casual here!?

If it were any other mathematician, just having a chance to mingle and exchange knowledge with the top mathematicians in the country while validating a proof would be an opportunity they would surely jump at, but Zhang Ye did not. If there was reputation to be earned or if it united his fans through the solving of this math problem, he would definitely not turn down the opportunity, but since the proof had already been proposed, Zhang Ye did not want to do anymore validation with regards to it. This kind of work should be left to the professionals as it did not concern him anymore.

Seeing that Zhang Ye wasn't too interested in joining in, Professor Qu also shook his head helplessly, ”Forget it. Go if you want to, but please stay contactable at all times as we would still have to look for you if there are any problems.” Since all the information was already available to them, it did not really matter if Zhang Ye was there in person.

Zhang Ye said, ”Alright.”

Suddenly, Huang Lingling squeezed over to him and said, ”Teacher Zhang.”

Her brother, Huang Leilei, and the other youth partic.i.p.ants all came up to him. ”Congratulations! You're really smart.” At the beginning, when Zhang Ye had borrowed Huang Lingling's marker pen and claimed that he would teach these foreigners a lesson, they were at a loss at how they should react. They did not believe that Zhang Ye would be able to do it, but now that they witnessed such a miracle, they were all feeling extremely pumped up!

Zhang Ye smiled and patted the children on their heads. ”Big Bro has to go now. You are all the little geniuses of our country, so work hard and don't let your families down.”

Huang Leilei suddenly said, ”When I grow up, I want to become like you. Solving the math problems of the world so that my parents can be happy and I can gain honor for our country!”

”Great, you're ambitious.” Zhang Ye gave him a thumbs up as encouragement.

Huang Lingling hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth to speak, ”Teacher Zhang, when I am able to attend Peking University, could you teach me mathematics? I would like to learn from you.”

Zhang Ye smiled widely and said, ”You've played a part in the proving of Dale's Conjecture this time. I used your marker and the last whiteboard was chosen by you as well. Looks like I managed to rub off some of your glory. Alright, if you can make it to Peking University while I am still there, I will teach you for sure, whether it be mathematics or Chinese.”

Huang Lingling had a flash in her eyes. ”Chinese?”

Zhang Ye nodded. ”Hur hur, actually the Chinese Department isn't bad either. Especially when it's Peking University's Chinese Department. It is the top faculty among all of the top inst.i.tutes of higher learning in the country. Compared to the Mathematics Department, it is much better, so are you interested in the arts? Chinese is what I am good at, so if you wish to learn, I can....”

w.a.n.g Yiming coughed loudly!

All the other mathematicians were also in a state of speechlessness. This was the venue where the International Math Olympiad was being held at and where many of the members of the mathematics world had gathered today. How dare you try to use such underhanded means to take one of ours to your side? Convince our children to learn Chinese instead? Do you even know how to behave! How can there be anyone like you!?

And what do you mean by Chinese is what you're good at?

To them, this declaration sounded very strange!

You managed to prove a math conjecture that no one else in the world was capable of so effortlessly, but in the blink of an eye, you're claiming that you're just an amateur in mathematics? That Chinese was what you really excelled at? If you're a f**king amateur, then what the heck are the bunch of us researchers who have dedicated their whole lives to mathematics!

Shouldn't we just go off somewhere and die?!

”Alright, I'm off.” Zhang Ye took his leave.

Huang Lingling and the others looked at him with admiration and said, ”Teacher Zhang, goodbye!”

”Goodbye.” Zhang Ye waved back at her.

The other Chinese mathematicians, foreign experts, and reporters looked on as Zhang Ye left. Some of them had very doubtful looks on their faces as they wondered. What an unfathomable person, just where did he get all that talent from?
