Shangri-La, presidential suite.
The colorful night view, reflecting against the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, was like stars in the night sky, gorgeous and dazzling.
Lin Fan downed the XO in his glass in one gulp.
Then, he cast his gaze onto his phone.
Consumed 1.31 million, obtained 131 red envelopes, claim all?
Back at the IFC, Lin Fan had already received these red envelopes.
However, he did not claim them immediately.
Because Lin Fan did not know what exactly he would get.
At this moment, though, there were not so many misgivings.
"Yes!"
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 100 yuan.
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 99 yuan.
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Professor-level Mathematics Experience. Utilize excellent mathematical knowledge to solve difficult problems, displaying a fascinating charm.
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the skill Absolute Focus. Absolute focus, thereby possessing the ability to easily solve difficult problems. A 5 percent chance to trigger a Flash of Inspiration. A focused, earnest man is the handsomest, oh!
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 10,000 yuan.
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1 block of office space in Qiankun Building, Jiangbei City.
Out of 131 red envelopes, Lin Fan obtained nearly 500,000 yuan in total.
Next, he turned his attention to the Professor-level Mathematics Experience and the skill Absolute Focus.
Professor-level Mathematics Experience? It would have been great to have this when he was in school.
Absolute Focus? This seemed pretty good.
When Lin Fan looked up, a stack of property ownership certificates lay on the coffee table in front of him.
Qiankun Building 1st Floor A201, area 200 square meters, property owner Lin Fan.
Qiankun Building 1st Floor A202, area 150 square meters, property owner Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked at these property ownership certificates, a quirky expression appearing on his face.
"Qiankun Building? Isn't this the place where I work?"
"Ring-a-ling!"
At this moment, Lin Fan's phone rang with a shrill chime.
"Lin Fan, why didn't you come to work today?" The voice of his colleague, Ma Zhiyuan, came through the phone.
Only then did Lin Fan remember that today was a workday.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm planning to resign," Lin Fan said.
Even without the system appearing, Lin Fan had previously harbored intentions of resigning.
Now, it was just considered ahead of schedule.
"Resign?" Ma Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Alright, well if you have time, come over and hand over your work to me. Otherwise, the supervisor will probably withhold your salary from last month."
Lin Fan said, "Okay, I'll go over sometime these two days."
Naturally, Lin Fan did not care about any salary.
However, he had always been a person who saw things through to the end.
If he did not go to make the handoff, the person taking over his work would probably be in a lot of trouble.
After hanging up the phone, the phone vibrated slightly.
It turned out that Qin Yuxuan had sent a WeChat picture.
It was a face of peerless beauty, coupled with the dazzling Heart of the Deep Sea beneath her snow-white neck, the whole person faintly radiating a gorgeous glow.
Mysterious and alluring! Qin Yuxuan: I like it very much, thank you.
Lin Fan: Between us, why say thank you? As long as you like it.
Qin Yuxuan: En En! The project officially starts tomorrow, and for the next period of time, I might be quite busy, so I might not be able to accompany you to play in the Magic Capital.
Lin Fan: It's fine, you go ahead and be busy. However, you need to pay attention to combining work with rest.
Lin Fan: Right on time, I reckon I'll be heading back to Jiangbei tomorrow to handle some work matters, and we can play in the Magic Capital again another time.
Qin Yuxuan: Alright.
Jiangbei City, Qiankun Building.
Chang Kui looked at the lease contract and muttered, "It expires in another two months. Let's go find President Wang of property management first to renew next year's contract. Hopefully, the rent won't go up too much."
While speaking, Chang Kui walked out of his office and headed straight to the top floor of Qiankun Building.
"President Wang, long time no see! What are you busy with?" Chang Kui asked with a smile.
Wang Zhongde said, "Sorting out some contracts and documents. Right, is there something Chairman Chang needs me for?"
"Can't I come look for President Wang to drink tea if there's nothing?" Chang Kui laughed.
As he spoke, Chang Kui took out a canister of Da Hong Pao and said, "This is Da Hong Pao my friend brought from Wuyi. But I don't really drink tea, so I specially brought it for President Wang to taste."
Wang Zhongde was a tea lover, and his eyes lit up when he saw the Da Hong Pao.
Chang Kui then continued, "That's right, our company's rent expires in another two months. President Wang, do you think we could renew the contract?"
Wang Zhongde said helplessly, "Chairman Chang, then you might make a wasted trip today. Because Qiankun Building has already been sold to someone else."
"Sold to someone else?" Chang Kui widened his eyes and said in surprise.
It was no wonder he was this surprised.
Qiankun Building was located in the center of Jiangbei City, where every inch of land was worth gold.
The estimated price of the entire Qiankun Building was as high as 1 billion! Chang Kui simply could not imagine what kind of person could fork out such a huge sum of money.
Wang Zhongde nodded and said, "Therefore, renewing the contract can only be discussed after the new boss arrives."
"President Wang, would it be convenient to tell me who bought Qiankun Building?" Chang Kui asked.
Wang Zhongde hesitated for a moment before saying, "Anyway, you'll find out sooner or later, so I'll tell you first."
While speaking, Wang Zhongde took a document out of his drawer.
Chang Kui quickly flipped through it and said in surprise, "Lin Fan? The person who bought the building is actually this young?"
The next day.
After sending a message to Qin Yuxuan, Lin Fan bought a first-class air ticket and flew straight back to Jiangbei City.
By this time, it was already afternoon.
Lin Fan did not choose to head to the company, but instead returned to the Hilton Hotel, preparing to go hand over his work tomorrow morning.
When he walked into the lobby of the Hilton Hotel, however, he was attracted by a series of large posters.
"Welcome to the International Mathematics Research and Discussion Conference"
"Hu Chuan, Dean of Jiangbei University School of Mathematics..."
"Fang Zhengtang, Professor at Hanzhong University School of Mathematics..."
"When 2^(2^n)<p<2^(2^(n+1)), Mp has 2^(n+1)-1 as a prime number"
Lin Fan did not pay any attention to the introductions of those people in the front.
Yet when he saw the arithmetic problem further down, he grew interested.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Fan picked up the signature pen nearby and began writing rapidly on the broad signature board.
πMp(22n)^πMp(22n-1)=2n^1(a)πMp(22n)=2n+1^n-1...
"Tap tap tap!"
A series of hurried tapping sounds echoed throughout the entire lobby.
Initially, Lin Fan's writing speed was still very fast.
However, Zhou's Conjecture was, after all, a world-class difficult problem.
Even though Lin Fan possessed Professor-level Mathematics Experience, he was soon trapped, and his writing speed constantly slowed down.
This was like a rugged mountain road, difficult to scale.
Yet, Lin Fan enjoyed challenging difficulties and never gave up, silently calculating all along.
Ding! Absolute Focus, Flash of Inspiration triggered.
Instantly, it was as if a pair of wings had been attached to Lin Fan, and his previously slowed writing speed rapidly picked up once again.
Outside the Hilton Hotel.
Several men and women in suits and leather shoes, looking very scholarly and refined, strolled forward.
"The teachers, professors, and leaders from schools like Jiangzhong University, University of Science, and Jiangbei University of Technology are all coming to attend the mathematics seminar. The venue, dining, and everything else have been prepared, right?" Hu Chuan, Dean of the Mathematics Department, asked.
"Dean Hu, rest assured. I have already prepared all these logistical tasks, guaranteeing that this International Mathematics Conference can be held grandly and magnificently," Huang Zihao said.
He then flatteringly added, "We all know that Dean Hu has pushed the research on Zhou's Conjecture a huge step forward!"
"I believe that this seminar will definitely sensationalize the whole country, and even sensationalize the entire world!"
