Chapter 32

After he entered the room and explained everything to his colleagues in the old leader's words, everyone present immediately understood.

One of the staff members responsible for internet regulation immediately stood up and said, "Minister, I'll go look into that Weibo influencer's background right away."

As soon as he finished, several others chimed in.

"I'll check his bank transactions."

"I'll check his call records."

The assistant suddenly cut in. "Minister, what should we do to turn public opinion around online? Should we give the public the same explanation you just gave us?"

Zhang Puze pondered for a moment. "That explanation alone isn't enough. If we want to turn public opinion around in one stroke, the best way is to wait for him to solve the Seven Millennium Prize Problems he's working on now."

The minister's solution immediately made everyone's eyes light up.

Indeed, the main suspicion outside was that the country was backing him.

Although the explanation just given made sense, it naturally wouldn't have as much impact as Jiang Ye demonstrating his abilities again.

After all, even if someone insisted on arguing, there might be people in the country willing to hand over Zhou's Conjecture, the Beal Conjecture, Goldbach's Conjecture, and the like.

But what about the Seven Millennium Prize Problems?

These were different from the previous three conjectures.

Proving the Seven Millennium Prize Problems could bring not only money and status, but also supreme honor and a chance to have one's name recorded in history.

On that point alone, would the country go looking for someone to negotiate terms? Even if it did, what could it offer as compensation that would compare?

If anyone kept arguing under those circumstances, they really would have to be invited in for tea!

Then Zhang Puze sighed. "Let's hope he can do it. If he fails to solve them, we'll have no choice but to use the explanation I just gave in an official statement."

"He can do it!" someone said.

Meanwhile.

The DuPont Consortium's representative, the person in overall charge among the Ten Conglomerates, was watching the direction of international public opinion.

At first, when he saw more and more people questioning Dragon Country and even telling Jiang Ye to get out of the show, he couldn't help looking pleased.

The Dragon Country man he'd found had done a fine job. He'd have to reward him with a bigger service fee and give him a few more green cards later.

But then certain opinions began to emerge.

After viewers from various countries offered a series of explanations, such as Dragon Country having agents planted in the Ten Conglomerates and Jiang Ye knowing about the show while he was in it.

The DuPont Consortium representative's expression gradually began to change.

Could that really be the case?

He was starting to believe those theories himself...

Outside, the winds and clouds were shifting, but not much time had passed inside the classroom.

Though that was only relative.

From the time he entered the classroom at seven thirty to now, at eight o'clock sharp.

Only half an hour had passed.

In half an hour, an ordinary person could play at most two matches of Honor of Kings or one match of League of Legends.

But Jiang Ye had already completed three Millennium Problems.

An average of ten minutes per problem.

It was unbelievably fast.

The mathematicians outside in particular had their understanding collectively turned upside down.

They had never seen anyone solve conjectures like this, much less the Seven Millennium Prize Problems.

If they hadn't taken screenshots of every A4 page Jiang Ye wrote and carefully studied and analyzed them.

They might really have stopped watching.

Likewise, Jiang Ye's lightning speed made the outside viewers even more convinced that he was copying.

Copying the answers provided by Dragon Country.

"He probably crammed all those proofs into his head from the start. How else could he write so fast?!"

"No way. Does anyone really think proofs for the Seven Millennium Prize Problems are as common as cabbages? And producing seven of them at once, at that. Anyone who believes it is a complete fucking idiot."

"My friends in academia say the same thing. Those are seven Millennium Problems, not seven elementary school homework questions."

"I don't want to watch anymore. I'd rather go watch the other five. Dragon Country viewers, come with me and stir things up."

Inside a villa somewhere in Dragon Country.

The handsome young man was named Chen Haoyu.

He was very pleased with the state of public opinion online.

He had actually been planning this article for a long time.

Since yesterday, when he had watched Jiang Ye's performance for the whole day.

He had been very upset. Why wasn't he the one on screen?

Why had the Ten Conglomerates chosen Jiang Ye?

And besides, if Jiang Ye was really that outstanding, why would the Ten Conglomerates have chosen him!?

Chen Haoyu knew the production team's purpose very well.

So he went online and called his friends in the media to look for information about Jiang Ye.

After reading it, he became even more certain of his suspicions.

A young man who had been utterly ordinary for his first twenty years had suddenly shone brilliantly on the very first day of the show!

Was that possible?

So he wanted to expose it, to reveal some kind of deal that might exist behind the scenes.
