The plane flew across the sky, leaving a long tail in the sky, and finally landed at Shangjing International Airport.

Although this is an international flight, this flight is inconspicuous for the Capital Airport, which ranks among the top ten airports in the world in terms of passenger traffic in 2020.

Of course, the people who come down from above are not so ordinary.

The seventeen-year-old mathematical genius returned to his motherland today.

As Xiao Yi and Hu Guangde left the plane and entered the pick-up hall, a group of people immediately surrounded them.

This group of people are all journalists, including various online media and even state-run media.

Looking at the microphones, Xiao Yi didn't react. No one told him that this would be the case after returning to China?

"Xiao Yi, classmate, what do you think of being considered the most outstanding mathematical genius in China in recent years?"

"Xiao Yi, how do you usually study? Why do you have such a deep understanding of mathematics at such an age?"

"Xiao Yi classmate..."

All kinds of questions besieged Xiao Yi one after another, which caught Xiao Yi off guard, having never experienced such a scene before.

Other tourists around looked at him in surprise. Is this man so young? Is he some kind of celebrity? 

Why are there still reporters?

I don't see any pick-up fan groups.

Of course, someone soon recognized him from the reporters' names and Xiao Yi's appearance, especially some students who often surfed the Internet, and they immediately started talking.

"I'll go! Isn't this the genius mathematician who was in the news a few days ago?"

"It's true! I heard that he is only seventeen years old! He looks really young!"

"Looking at him like this, he must have just returned from a meeting in Germany, right? When he was on the trending search two days ago, didn't he say that he killed the Japanese mathematician in Germany?"

"I really envy those people who are good at math."

There are also some parents with children who say to their children, "Look at others, you can attend international academic conferences at the age of 17. You should learn more from others!"

The child pointed at himself in confusion. "Me? Imitate him?"

What a joke!

I'm going to learn about commerce!

Can people learn from this guy?

These children suddenly felt resentful.

After being surrounded by these reporters for a long time, Xiao Yi and Hu Guangde left the arcade hall and got in the car.

The person who came to pick them up was a researcher named Bai Lu from the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Researcher refers to a professional title, not a title. From a hierarchical perspective, a researcher is equivalent to a professor.

Therefore, Bai Lu, who came to pick them up, is not simple at all. Not only does he have a senior professional title, he was rated Outstanding Young Scholar at the age of 36. He is only 38 years old this year and is an important leader among the young generation of Chinese mathematics circles.

As for why he, Outstanding Young Scholar, came to pick them up, first of all, it was because he was Hu Guangde's student, and he was also the student that Hu Guangde was most proud of. Secondly, it was because of their Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science's arrangement.

[Be sure to bring Xiao Yi to our Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science], this is what their dean said to Bai Lu when he came over.

"This is Junior Brother Xiao Yi, right? He is indeed a talented person! At first glance, he is destined to study mathematics."

After getting in the car, Bai Lu smiled and said hello to Xiao Yi.

"Don't yell haha, Xiao Xiao hasn't become my student yet." Hu Guangde corrected.

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, and then apologized. "I'm sorry."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Xiao Yi waved his hands repeatedly, "Actually, if Academician Hu is willing, I can definitely become Academician Hu's student. I don't think there was a message in the class group saying that our students this year are ready to start choosing tutors."

"Let's talk about this later."

Hu Guangde waved his hand, not showing too much anxiety about this matter.

Then he asked Xiang Bailu: "Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, do you have any arrangements there?"

"That's right." Bai Lu said, "The hospital hopes that Xiao Yi can give a report. The report is very simple. You only need Xiao Yi to tell you what happened at the discussion meeting on the 13th, and then Xiao Yi will explain the problems in Shinichi Mochizuki's theory again. The report time is about 30 to 45 minutes. After these things are finished, Xiao Yi can also speak freely and talk about anything related."

"That's it." Hu Guangde nodded with a smile, then patted Xiao Yi and said, "How do you think? This is also a good opportunity to introduce you to our domestic mathematics community. Of course, everything is up to you. If you find it troublesome, there is no need to go."

However, what surprised Hu Guangde was that Xiao Yi did not hesitate and nodded directly.

"I agree to make this report."

In order to study the method of further combining Far Abelian Geometry with Automorphic Forms in the past few days, he also thought that it was necessary to review the content of Far Abelian Geometry.

Therefore, during the review process, it would not be a hindrance to rethink what happened at the discussion that day. It might also help him gain a better understanding of Far Abelian Geometry.

"Haha, that's fine." Hu Guangde smiled and nodded.

Bai Lu also smiled and said, "Okay, many mathematicians in the domestic mathematics community will probably come over to read your report. I will leave a deep impression on them when the time comes."

"I'll try my best." Xiao Yi nodded slightly.

Next, the car became quiet. Hu Guangde closed his eyes and rested, while Xiao Yi continued to think about the problem in his mind.

Time passed quickly, and the car finally drove into Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science.

The Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was originally a merger of four research institutes, and was referred to as Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science. Of course, some older generations like to call it Institute of Mathematics.

In addition, it is also one of the four most powerful research institutes in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with a total of 15 academicians, as well as a lot of Changjiang Scholar and Outstanding Young Scholar.

It was founded by Hua Loo-keng. Many famous mathematicians in history belong to this institute. It is now the most authoritative academic unit in the field of mathematics in China. After all, the 15 academicians are basically unique.

In this way, all the way to Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, the dean of Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, academician Xi Lan, led the leaders of Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, large and small, to welcome the two people in.

Hu Guangde used to be from Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, so he was considered an old acquaintance here, so he was quickly pushed aside by these leaders.

The most important thing they welcomed was Xiao Yi, a young man who became famous in the entire international mathematics circle once he went abroad.

After a welcome party, Xiao Yi also had a hard time. It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that he checked into the hotel room specially arranged by Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science.

"Well... even though I'm a little tired, I finally got to eat hometown food."

After touching his still full belly, Xiao Yi sighed.

"By the way, I almost forgot to send an email to Professor Maynard!"
