Teamwork

The news of Shen Qi winning the Fields Medal reached China immediately, and his name ranked first in the online popularity index.

Entering Shen Qi's name into a search engine yields the following results:

Shen Qi, male, of Han ethnicity, is a renowned Chinese mathematician whose main research area is number theory.

Main research achievements: The theoretical system of prime number distribution of the Riemann zeta function.

Major awards: Fields Medal, Ramanujan Prize, etc.

The international and domestic Mathematics Community generally regard Shen Qi as a master of number theory. His most outstanding contribution is proving the Riemann Hypothesis and continuing to extend and expand it, establishing a complete theoretical system of prime number distribution of the Riemann zeta function.

Shen Qi stayed in Brazil for a few days, and tomorrow he and his team will return to the United States.

"Actually, number theory is not my main research area," Shen Qi said in an interview with Springer Publishing Group's Mathematician magazine.

A reporter from the magazine The Mathematician said, "However, your most outstanding and famous research comes from number theory, because of the Riemann Hypothesis."

"My research in number theory, proving the Riemann Hypothesis, and establishing the theoretical system of prime number distribution of the Riemann zeta function were all purely accidental." Shen Qi, who has already won the Fields Medal, revealed some of his thought process to the reporter, "My girlfriend studies number theory, and sometimes we talk about number theory problems together."

"So you proved the Riemann Hypothesis because of love?" the reporter asked.

"Half because of love, and the other half because I find the Riemann Hypothesis quite interesting." Shen Qi smiled, then said seriously, "My main research area for my master's and doctoral studies is Mathematical Physics, with Algebraic Geometry. I haven't forgotten my original aspirations."

"Of course, compared to my hobby of number theory, I haven't made any valuable research achievements in my major or minor fields. This will be the direction I strive for in the next few years."

"Dr. Shen, let's continue our conversation about your little hobby, number theory. You mentioned before that once the theory of prime number distribution using the Riemann zeta function is properly constructed, another famous problem concerning prime number distribution, Goldbach Conjecture, will be fully proven soon."

"Yes, I did say that."

"Could you provide a predicted timeframe for the proof of Goldbach Conjecture?"

"Since it's just a hobby, let's not set a deadline. I've provided some theoretical support for the distribution of prime numbers, and I look forward to all Goldbach Conjecture enthusiasts around the world launching an attack on this famous conjecture. I will also use my spare time to conduct divergent research on Goldbach Conjecture. Thank you, thank you for the interview." Shen Qi ended his conversation with the reporter.

The following day, Shen Qi, Ou Ye, Mary, Jonas, Muller, Faltings, Gong Changwei, and others went to the airport to prepare to return to the United States.

Shen Qi won the Fields Medal, and the names of his team members also appeared before mathematicians around the world.

"It seems everyone has gained something. Qi, you'll be a professor when you get back," Muller said to Shen Qi. "No need to go through the Associate Professor, a full professor at 22. Qi, you will become the youngest professor in Princeton's history, even younger than Tao back then."

Terence Tao, a prominent figure in the Mathematics Department at Princeton University, became a full professor at the young age of 24, though not at Princeton. Terence Tao was hired as a full professor at UCLA at the age of 24.

The system's recommended reference template for Math Level 14 is Terence Tao's.

Based on his experience leveling up from 1 to 13, Shen Qi believed that level 14 Terence Tao represented Terence Tao's peak performance.

At 22, Terence Tao was probably not at level 14 yet; he was still in the process of leveling up.

At 22, Shen Qi surpassed Terence Tao, who was in the same period, and his achievements and data speak for themselves.

Muller added, "Mary, Jonas, you will also be rewarded."

"I have to thank Qi for this. The part that Jonas and I were responsible for alone couldn't form a system, and we couldn't even write a complete paper." Mary objectively summarized herself. She used to call Shen Qi "Chinese boy" when she argued with him, then changed it to "Shen", and now, following the trend, Mary affectionately calls Shen Qi "Qi".

"Of course, Ou, you did a great job on your part too." Mary looked at Ou Ye and said, "We are a team, and this project was successfully completed. We look forward to the next collaboration."

Mission accomplished, recognized worldwide, the atmosphere within the Princeton University and Columbia University Ivy League joint team was harmonious.

Through teamwork, each person gained a deep understanding of the academic characteristics of others.

You may dislike someone, but you cannot deny their academic ability; in mathematics, results always speak for themselves.

Ou Ye nestled close to Shen Qi, linking her arm with Shen Qi, and said to Mary, "It's been a pleasure working with you."

Shen Qi stroked Ou Ye's long hair. Little Yezi has grown up, matured, and broadened her horizons. Why should women make things difficult for each other? Women should help each other.

As they were talking, Shen Qi saw a white man walking towards them in the distance.

The long-haired white man is Pete Schultz.

Schultz, who didn't win the Fields Medal, seemed to be in a bad mood. He walked up to Mary and said, "Mary, it's been a long time."

Mary said coldly, "It's better not to see him."

"When are you going back to Bonn?" Schultz opened his arms, wanting to hug Mary.

Mary took a few steps back to prevent him from hugging her. "My arrangements are none of your concern."

Schultz missed his target, and said seriously, "Mary, you are my wife."

Mary was equally serious. "I've already signed the divorce papers, Mr. Peter Schultz. You don't have to sign; according to German law, we automatically divorce after three years of separation. We'll reach three years in six months."

"What did I do wrong!" Schultz roared to the sky, his voice filled with pain and frustration.

"Pete, nobody did anything wrong." Muller stepped forward, blocking Mary's path, and said to Schultz directly, "Everyone has the right to choose their own life, and you should learn to respect that."

"Professor Muller, @*@...!" Schultz was quite familiar with Muller, and he started speaking German towards the end, his expression excited.

Muller was displeased. "@@!...ü!"

Another German legend, Faltings, slammed his fist on the table and angrily rebuked Schultz: "@!@...!"

Schultz seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and he yelled, "@@!... rz!"

Even Jonas, an outsider, couldn't stand it anymore; he was Swedish and spoke German.

Jonas switched to German mode and rebuked Schultz in a accusing tone. "@!... t!"

"@*@!...!ü!" Mary was furious. She took off her coat, threw it on a chair, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to go up and reason with Schultz.

"Mary, calm down!" Shen Qi jumped up, grabbed Mary's arm and pulled her back. If you want to cause trouble, do it back in America. This is a Brazilian airport, we don't know anyone here, so don't do anything reckless!

"@-@...!" Schultz glared at Shen Qi, then switched to English and said, "Let go of my wife! German affairs are none of your business!"
