Chen Zhou, who always looked puzzled, followed Dean Sun and completed the reporting procedures for the joint training.

Despite Chen Zhou's repeated questions, what kind of surprises will be there after the New Year.

But Dean Sun just didn't say it, he just told Chen Zhou that he would know then.

This made Chen Zhou very puzzled. What kind of surprise is worth keeping it so confidential?

Of course, Chen Zhou was quite helpless about this.

He can't stare at Dean Sun and ask, right?

I can only wait for the "time" that Dean Sun said.

After parting with Dean Sun, Chen Zhou went to find Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan.

Coincidentally, these two professors are together at the moment.

However, what surprised Chen Zhou was that the two of them had a good chat, but when they saw him, they suddenly stopped talking.

To be precise, these two people suddenly changed the topic.

From the original hot discussion, it has become a question and answer that speaks every word.

Looking at the two of them, Chen Zhou suddenly thought of the surprise that Dean Sun mentioned.

However, it is obvious that Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan did not tell him what he planned.

Seeing this, Chen Zhou didn't plan to ask in detail.

Anyway, I asked, I won't say anything.

I can't explain it clearly.

It's better to wait until then and he will see it with his own eyes.

So, Chen Zhou left without chatting with Wu Xiping for a long time.

What Chen Zhou didn't expect was that after he left, Wu Xiping and Zhang Zhongyuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them were not afraid of Chen Zhou asking questions, but were worried that Chen Zhou had heard their conversation just now outside the house.

Dean Sun repeatedly instructed them not to leak the news and to give Chen Zhou a surprise.

If the conversation between them was accidentally heard by Chen Zhou.

Then all the surprises prepared were ruined.

However, Wu Xiping felt that looking at Chen Zhou's appearance, he probably didn't hear it...

After leaving the administrative building, Chen Zhou planned to go and meet up with Yang Yiyi.

Chen Zhou has already completed all the work at Yan University.

Either this afternoon or tomorrow, he and Yang Yiyi can return to western Anhui.

Before he could reach the Yan University campus gate, Chen Zhou's cell phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Chen Zhou subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone.

However, I thought of the news that the other party brought to me before.

In addition, I seem to have said that if I win the award, I will accept her interview again...

In this case, I am really embarrassed to refuse the call from reporter Yao...

When the phone was connected, Chen Zhou asked politely: "Hello, reporter Yao, is there anything wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Yao Tongtong, who was still nervous, felt relieved when she heard Chen Zhou's voice.

In fact, she no longer knows how many times she had been hung up by Chen Zhou before.

Like today, you can count the number of times you answer the phone so smoothly.

"Mr. Chen Zhou, I heard that you have returned to China and are now in Yanjing?"

Hearing Yao Tongtong’s question, Chen Zhou thought for a while and replied: “Yes, I’m wandering around Yanda now…”

Yao Tongtong said, "Then is it convenient for you now? I'll take a walk with you... for a while?"

When Chen Zhou heard this, he shook his head gently.

Fortunately, Yang Yiyi was not around. If you want to interview me, just say something that makes people misunderstood...

It just so happened that Chen Zhou was planning to find out the conservative surprises from Yao Tongtong.

"Then I'll wait for you at Yanda for a while?" Chen Zhou replied.

Before he finished speaking, Yao Tongtong said, "Okay, wait for me a little, and I'll arrive soon!"

After saying that, Chen Zhou heard Yao Tongtong nervously packing up her things across the street.

It didn't take long after the phone hanged up.

Chen Zhou didn't even walk to the school gate.

Yao Tongtong appeared.

Looking at the anxious reporter Yao, Chen Zhou shook his head again.

It seems that I really left a bad impression on the other party.

The other party is obviously afraid that he will run away...

Walking to Chen Zhou, Yao Tongtong stopped and gasped in small breath.

Just as she was able to smooth out her breath, she wanted to speak.

But Chen Zhou interrupted: "Don't worry, I won't run away..."

Yao Tongtong was so funny that she immediately laughed out loud, and she was still muttering in her heart: "You know it's not easy to find you? It's rare that today is so easy to talk to. Are you afraid that you will run away?"

But she said, "No, I'm not worried that you will run away. I'm worried that you will waste your time. After all, the time of our Chinese mathematicians is still very precious."

Hearing this, Chen Zhou glanced at the woman who couldn't help but say this.

But Chen Zhou did not say anything, and he also wanted to get the news he wanted from Yao Tongtong.

After all, Dean Sun doesn’t say it, Wu Xiping doesn’t say it, and Zhang Zhongyuan doesn’t say it…

Chen Zhou had no choice but to think of another way.

In Chen Zhou's thoughts, it's not that you said it was a surprise, I have to stay here and wait for your surprise.

The rubber ball experiment on SLAC is what Chen Zhou values ​​more.

As if he knew that he was praising him a little awkwardly, Yao Tongtong changed the topic and said, "I just landed yesterday?"

Chen Zhou nodded gently: "I arrived in Yanjing last night."

Yao Tongtong asked again: "How is the rest? Is the jet lag adjustment okay?"

Chen Zhou glanced at Yao Tongtong and replied softly: "It's okay, the time difference has little impact on me."

When Yao Tongtong heard this, she chuckled softly and said, "I won the Cole Number Theory Prize before, but I didn't have the chance to interview you. Can I give me an interview now?"

Chen Zhou nodded with a smile: "No problem, just treat it as a thank you for the news you disclosed to me in advance."

After Chen Zhou finished speaking, he paid attention to Yao Tongtong's expression.

He tried to see from Yao Tongtong's face if there was any surprise in Dean Sun and the others.

Consistent with what Chen Zhou expected, Yao Tongtong's expression changed significantly when she heard Chen Zhou's words.

It was precisely this change in expression that made Chen Zhou sure.

Yao Tongtong may have some rumor.

Before Yao Tongtong could speak, Chen Zhou said first: "Reporter Yao, let's talk while walking?"

Yao Tongtong was stunned for a moment, but quickly said: "Okay, then let's talk while walking..."

As if Chen Zhou was afraid that he would regret it, Yao Tongtong immediately prepared herself.

Recorder, notebook, water pen...

There are many people who should bring.

Obviously, Yao Tongtong has made sufficient preparations for today's interview.

After Yao Tongtong prepared the things, she looked at Chen Zhou.

In that look, it seemed to be saying, "Let's go, hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait..."

After glanced at Yao Tongtong, Chen Zhou smiled slightly and took the initiative to walk in front.

Chen Zhou, who originally planned to leave directly, has now started to visit Yanyuan with Yao Tongtong.

Chen Zhou could almost guess the questions that Yao Tongtong might ask.

It's nothing more than "How would you feel as the youngest winner in the history of the Cole Award?"

"When I was interviewed by a reporter, how are the next goal I mentioned now?

"Are you confident of winning the Fields Medal next year..."

And the facts are indeed as Chen Zhou expected.

Yao Tongtong didn't ask any new questions.

However, Yao Tongtong is a little different from before.

In the past, when Chen Zhou talked about professional mathematical knowledge, Yao Tongtong couldn't even remember the notes.

Now, I can still say something to Chen Zhou.
