I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 236 Seeing the Parents

Shen Qi's itinerary in Hong Kong is coming to an end, he came in a hurry and left in a glorious way.

As the youngest winner of the Shiingshen Chern Mathematics Prize, he officially set foot in the high-end mathematics circle in China. He met Academician Wu, Professor Huang and other people of insight in the Chinese mathematics field. The circle of contacts continued to expand, and Shen Qi gained a lot.

Career and love are both harvested, Shen Qi and Ouye go to the banquet in pairs, Shen Qi's father is the host of the treat.

Shen Zhishan had just arrived in Hong Kong, and he was not qualified to attend the Chinese Mathematicians Conference, so he set up a banquet in Wanchai for his son and his girlfriend.

Shen Qi took Ouye's hand, pushed open the door of the dining room box, and joined his father.

"Dad, long time no see, I miss you so much, this is Ouye." Shen Qi formally introduced Ouye to his father.

"Hello, Uncle Shen." Ouye dressed elegantly today, without makeup, delicate and graceful.

"Hello, Xiao Ou, come and sit down." Shen Zhishan called Ouye to sit down, and ordered the waiter to serve the food.

Ouye was still a little nervous when he met Shen Qi's father for the first time.

Shen Zhishan had seen a group photo of Ouye and Shen Qi before, and it was the first time he saw Ouye himself in real life. Old Shen had a good first impression. This girl is gentle and quiet, and at first glance she looks like a serious girl.

"Shen Qi came back too late this time. He said he didn't have time to go back to Nangang City, so I came to Hong Kong to see you. Xiao Ou, your Auntie Fan was also coming here, but the work of her hospital I'm too busy, I can't leave. It's the first time to meet you, Auntie Fan and I. Please don't miss it." Shen Zhishan took out a red envelope from his handbag and handed it to Ouye.

The big red envelope was bulging, and Ouye calculated in his head based on the thickness of the red envelope that there would be no less than 200 banknotes inside.

Uncle Shen sent such a big gift without saying a word when they met for the first time, Ouye didn't dare to accept it, she looked at Shen Qi nervously, not knowing what to do.

"This is a wish from the elders, please accept Ouye." Shen Qi said, and then added: "Basic operation, normal process, please operate according to the process."

"Then... okay." Ouye accepted the red envelope with a blushing face, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shen and Aunt Fan."

It was the first time that Ouye received a red envelope from someone other than his parents and relatives, and Ouye was a little embarrassed, but also happy.

It is said that when a girl meets the man's parents for the first time, if the man's parents are satisfied, they will send a red envelope. The size of the red envelope represents satisfaction.

Some parents prepare several red envelopes of different thicknesses, and respond flexibly according to the actual situation.

Ouye thinks that a red envelope of no less than 200 banknotes is not a small gift, no matter whether it is RMB or Hong Kong dollars.

All in all, the basic process was completed, and Ouye was officially approved by Shen Qi's father.

"Xiao Ou is also a top student, right? He doesn't give in to a man." Shen Zhishan ate and chatted, asking a few questions from time to time.

"It's okay." Ouye has a good impression of Uncle Shen, who is much more talkative than her father.

"What do Xiao Ou's parents do?" Shen Zhishan asked again.

"My dad is the planner of the show, and my mom does the housework at home." Ouye replied, coming and going again and again no longer cramped.

"Her father was a soldier, an assaulter of the ace troop's Sharp Knife Company." Shen Qi added.

"Really, then Lao Ou and I are both soldiers. Come on, Xiao Ou, I'll toast your father and the comrades in the Sharp Sword Company, and you drink for him." Shen Zhishan raised his glass, feeling high.

"What kind of wine do you drink? Girls don't drink alcohol. Xiao Ou uses water instead of wine." Shen Qi poured a glass of mineral water for Ouye, and pushed his own portion of stewed snow clams with papaya in front of Ouye: "This is for you, Ouye. eat more."

"I wish Uncle Shen and Auntie Fan good health." Ouye used water instead of wine, and raised a glass to offer her blessings. She was not good at dealing with outsiders, and she performed well in front of Uncle Shen, with decent manners and appropriate conversation.

"Okay, okay, everything is fine, and I wish Xiaoou your parents good health." The more Shen Zhishan looked at Ouye, the more pleasing to his eyes, this girl didn't talk much, she was reserved and unaffected, showing good self-cultivation in her graceful manner, tutoring is okay .

The meal was more pleasant, and seeing the parents was not as awkward as Ouye imagined.

On January 1, Hong Kong Airport.

Shen Zhishan, Ouye, Sun Erxiong, Zhou Yuan and others went to the airport to see Shen Qi off.

Shen Qi hugged his father first: "You and mom should pay attention to your health, I will probably not return to China until the next Christmas holiday."

"Is there enough money to spend in America?" Shen Zhishan asked.

"That's enough. If it's not enough, I'll go for the bonus. The bonus can last for a while." Shen Qi said.

The prize money for the Chern Mathematics Award is 10 RMB, which is not too much.

International mathematics awards range from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and one million dollars is rewarded for solving the Millennium Puzzle.

It is unrealistic to make a fortune by relying on mathematics bonuses. To solve all the remaining six millennium problems, the bonus is only 600 million US dollars. The better villas in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are not more than this price.

The top mathematicians really want to make a lot of money, as long as they put down their morals, there are many ways to make money.Shen Qi didn't expect to be ranked among the top 10 Forbes rankings by relying on mathematics bonuses, let's spend some pocket money, honor is more important than money.

After hugging and bidding farewell to his father, Shen Qi hugged Ouye second: "You have to come to Princeton quickly, if you don't come, I should go back to China after finishing my Ph.D."

"I... work hard." Ouye is under a lot of pressure. With a boyfriend who is like a god, Shuji must work harder. After all, the number of admissions for the Princeton Mathematics Department in China is very small every year, so one or two lucky ones win the lottery .

If Ouye went to Yale, New York University, and Columbia University as the next best thing, even if New Haven, New York and Princeton are not far away, he would not be able to see Shen Qi every day, and it would still be a long-distance relationship.

What is even more unfortunate is that if Ouye goes to universities on the west coast of the United States, such as Berkeley, UCLA, and Caltech, he might as well stay in China.

Fortunately, Ouye scored 111 points in the TOEFL test and GPA4.0. These two indicators are enough to apply for Princeton.Now there is still a GRE score.

Ouye's advantage lies in her rich scientific research experience. She has published papers in four major international mathematics journals (the proof of Walsh's conjecture, she is also one of the authors), published SCI papers (SOS National Natural Science Foundation of China), and a Core journal papers (co-signed by Shen Qi and Shen Qi during the freshman year, this paper is actually led by Ouye with Shen Qifei, and the main discussion work is done by Ouye).

However, Shen Qi's progress in the past two years is too fast, so fast that it is difficult for a talented calculator like Ouye to catch up with Shen Qi.

The third person Shen Qi hugged was Sun Erxiong: "Thank you for your kindness, Professor Sun, Ouye is just begging you, you have to give her a lot of advice."

"When will you drink your wedding wine?" Sun Erxiong asked.

"The wedding is not that early, is it? I haven't reached the legal age of marriage yet."

"No one cares about you in the United States. The atmosphere there is open, and there will be no shortage of temptations. You have to be self-respecting and self-disciplined, Shen Qi." Sun Erxiong instructed earnestly.

Finally, Shen Qi hugged Zhou Yu'an: "Brother, take care."
