A Single Mind, Two Uses

Ou Ye's BSD Conjecture research team had four members, who could be summed up as: the God of Mathematics's wife, two genetically gifted geniuses, and one inspirational native of the capital.

Zhou Yu'an suddenly dropped by the "BSD Conjecture War Room." He quickly surveyed the three students and everything in the room, then asked, "Who's Zhao Tian?"

"Zhao Tian, you got into the School of Mathematical Sciences' graduate program through recommendation, right?" Zhou Yu'an asked.

"Right. I'm supposed to start in September. My advisor will be Professor Liu Guoli. Of course I wanted to study under Sister Yezi, but unfortunately, she's not well and isn't taking graduate students."

"Oh, Lao Liu's a pretty good guy. He's kindhearted, considerate toward his students, and quite capable in his field." Zhou Yu'an nodded, then turned to Xiao Yun and Zeng Han. "What about you two? What year are you in?"
