When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First

275 How Bold! Do You Know What You’re Saying?

When Christine saw Luo Feng’s reply, she immediately smiled in surprise.

The two of them walked to the entrance of the library and casually swept the steps twice before sitting down.

Luo Feng held a pen in one hand and a draft paper in the other. He began to explain the proof process in detail.

Christine listened attentively. This question had been bothering her for weeks. She went to ask Professor Vincent and he said that Christine could solve it with her skills. Then, he ignored it.

It was a free-range education.

Christine flipped through the book for a long time. She did not expect Luo Feng to explain everything clearly in just five minutes.

She looked at Luo Feng with admiration.

“Done.” Luo Feng tore the entire draft paper to Christine.

This senior’s level was also quite high. Her foundation was solid and her comprehension ability was extremely strong. If it was someone slightly weaker, they might not be able to understand it even in an hour.

“Do you have any other questions?” Luo Feng said politely.

He was tired of reading the thesis. It was a good opportunity to change his mind by chatting with someone about the questions.

Then, he watched as Christine ran in happily and ran out with a thick notebook.

“…” The corners of Luo Feng’s mouth twitched. There was no need to be so relaxed…

Christine was also a little embarrassed. “These are all problems that I usually accumulate. There are some that I don’t understand… The Professor is a little busy…”

Luo Feng understood very well.

Being Professor Vincent’s student looked glorious and dignified, but it was actually extremely stressful.

He was a Professor after all. He still had his own topics to research and could not take care of his students so well. Moreover, Professor Vincent especially liked to encourage his students to think of ways to overcome their own difficulties.

Therefore, he disdained to talk about ordinary small matters.

However, he never thought that with his level, there might not be any questions worth talking about. This caused the students below to complain endlessly.

Therefore, Christine was too embarrassed to disturb him too much. She could only record it down first and take some time to specially study it.

“You… This is too much…”

Luo Feng did not dislike teaching others. He had basically spent his evening self-study on the podium in the second half of the Third High School. Moreover, he had consolidated his foundation while teaching others.

However, he was short of time now. There were less than three weeks left until he had to submit his thesis. He did not have much time to distribute to the studious seniors.

“I won’t take up too much of your time.” Christine quickly explained, “Just tell me when you’re free.”

Luo Feng thought for a while. “How about this? I’m about to write a thesis and need an assistant…”

“I can, I can!”

Christine rushed to answer, as if she was afraid that the opportunity would be snatched away if she was a second slower before he could finish speaking.

Luo Feng was not looking for an excuse, he really needed an assistant. Even though he did not have to squat in the laboratory for mathematical research, he could not do it behind closed doors after all.

He did not have much time. Having an assistant with passable professional knowledge to help him check the documents and filter the information could save Luo Feng a lot of things.

“Alright, I’m going to start writing from tomorrow onwards. It’s unrealistic for me to come to the library,” Luo Feng said. “I’ll give you an address. Come and find me tomorrow.”

“Okay!”

This was the first time Christine was happy since she met Luo Feng.

The next morning.

Christine stood under Luo Feng’s flat at seven o’clock sharp, like those times she had reported to the library.

Luo Feng did not stand on ceremony and gave her a list as soon as she entered. “Today, I’ll have to trouble you to help me print out these papers first. I want to use them.”

Christine held the long list of shopping receipts with 40 to 50 thesis titles written on it.

“Understood!” Christine was full of energy.

Luo Feng could not help but take a few more glances at her.

This senior might look older than Luo Feng, but she was quite simple-minded. As long as she felt that someone was powerful, she would admire them. She would cooperate as long as it was someone who could be of use to her.

But she would ignore you if you were inferior to her.

She would always look forward, and Luo Feng was standing in front of her.

Luo Feng would not know that Christine cherished this opportunity because participating in the process of a big shot’s thesis would also be beneficial to a researcher.

Even if she could not participate in the actual writing process of the thesis, the reference documents selected by Luo Feng were enough for Christine to read for a long time.

…

In the next few days, Luo Feng did not leave his house and crazily browsed through the relevant documents.

As an assistant, Christine was also secretly learning from his progress. Luo Feng would also answer her questions seriously when she encountered something she could not understand.

The two of them seemed to have just changed places, and their enthusiasm for learning was still the same.

After getting along for many days, the two of them became more and more familiar with each other.

Christine was also curious about Luo Feng’s thesis. “Speaking of which, Luo Feng, what exactly are you doing?”

She had mustered all the courage in her life to ask. After all, if she knew that Luo Feng’s research topic was very profound, Christine might doubt herself again.

Luo Feng smiled and looked up. “Don’t you know everything?”

Christine vaguely guessed something based on recent documents. She widened her eyes and said, “Are you really planning to solve Hodge’s conjecture?”

“That’s right.” Luo Feng nodded.

“No way…” Christine was stunned.

That was Hodge’s conjecture! One of the seven most difficult mathematics problems! The academic world had announced that anyone who could prove any one of these seven problems would be rewarded with a million United States Dollars!

Of course, the monetary reward was only the most insignificant part.

Hodge’s conjecture is a conjecture about the algebraic topology of a singular complex algebraic cluster and its geometry expressed by polynomial equations defining subclusters.

The more than 1,000 theorems derived from it directly affected the development of modern mathematics.

If the Nobel Prize established a mathematics award, the person who solves Hodge’s conjecture could win it twice.

This had always been a Holy and Untouchable domain in Christine’s eyes. Even Professor Vincent did not dare to have this thought.

Therefore, Christine felt that either Luo Feng was crazy or the world was crazy when she heard that.

Or perhaps both.

She pursed her lips and looked at Luo Feng’s calm expression, but she did not voice her thoughts out loud.

Luo Feng was already much stronger than Christine to have the courage to prove Hodge’s conjecture.

“Senior, are you tired?” Luo Feng sensed Christine’s gaze and asked casually. Christine immediately buried her head in her book, but she could not hide the shock in her eyes.

This was also why Luo Feng did not want to tell her.

He was not arrogant when he aimed at Hodge’s conjecture.

He was doing this mainly because his thesis had to satisfy Professor Vincent. Luo Feng thought about it seriously and finally came to the conclusion that it had to be something that “even a Professor can’t produce results on!”

In that case, Professor Vincent would have no reason to be dissatisfied with it.
