The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

The discharge procedures were completed in ten minutes. The hospital opened a green channel throughout the process, and even the settlement window specially set up a dedicated workstation, so the whole process was smooth and unobstructed.

Ji Bai put his phone and ID card in his pocket and walked out of the ward empty-handed, without even carrying a suitcase.

Following behind, Academician Wang and his group looked at the young man's relaxed demeanor and felt increasingly moved.

Those who truly accomplish great things are always single-minded and unburdened.

The car pulled up to the apartment building, and Ji Bai went upstairs for a quick look around before coming back down in less than ten minutes.

He carried only a plain black backpack, filled with two sets of clothes, and no extra bottles or jars.

"Is that all you brought?" Lin Boqian was taken aback.

Ji Bai raised an eyebrow and smiled: "It's just a meeting, not a move."

A young man's heart is as vast as mountains and seas; he needs no external possessions to rely on.

The convoy turned around and headed straight for the Fucheng Expressway entrance.

The fastest and most convenient way to get from Fucheng to Beijing is to first take the highway to the provincial capital, and then fly to Beijing.

At the highway entrance, a long line of people could be seen standing there.

Prefect Liu personally led the delegation, with the top officials from the Municipal Education Bureau and the Science and Technology Bureau all present, standing in neat rows, as if welcoming a state guest.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Prefect Liu strode forward, grasped Ji Bai's hand tightly, his grip brimming with emotion:

"Ji Bai! I won't bother with formalities! You're the first genius in Fucheng in all these years! Go to the capital and get to work!"

"Thank you, leader." Ji Bai nodded slightly, his tone composed.

The farewell words had barely faded when the grand ceremony officially began!

Three police SUVs led the way, lined up across the highway entrance, their red and blue lights flashing wildly, and their deep sirens piercing the air.

The two Coaster buses behind them had gleaming bodies and black windows, and followed steadily behind.

The entire convoy, like a silent and majestic black dragon, suddenly plunged onto the highway and sped northward.

Upon hearing the sirens and catching a glimpse of the police lights, all other vehicles along the route immediately moved aside, clearing a clear path for the main road.

Many drivers craned their necks to look outside, wondering to themselves: Who is this important person traveling? The procession is quite intimidating!

The tollbooth barrier is raised in advance, so you don't even need to stop to pay. The barrier is raised high, like a line of people bowing.

This kind of pomp and circumstance cannot be bought with money.

This is the highest honor the nation bestows upon its pillars of the country and its unparalleled geniuses.

The convoy sped along the highway, arriving at the provincial capital's highway exit in less than two hours.

The scale of the procession outside the port was several times larger than that in Fucheng!

The provincial governor was unable to attend due to official duties, but the deputy governor in charge of science, education, culture and health personally led the director of the education department and a group of academic officials from the provincial capital to stand solemnly.

Provincial security vehicles lined both sides, creating an unusually solemn scene.

As soon as the car came to a stop, the deputy governor strode forward and personally opened the car door.

"Ji Bai, you must be tired from your journey!"

"Heroes have emerged from among the young since ancient times! At the age of eighteen, you have dominated the global mathematics community, solved four century-old problems, and forced international authorities to bow down and give in!"

For the first time in a century, Chinese academia has never felt so proud and elated!

The grand event in the capital three days from now is your stage to become a legend!

I hope you will lecture with ease and defend your knowledge with pride, showcasing the integrity, demeanor, and profound knowledge of Chinese scholars to the world!

Let the world know that we, the young people of the East, can also reach the pinnacle of world academia!

A group of officials and scholars took turns stepping forward, offering words of encouragement that were both heartfelt and inspiring.

After a brief stop, the convoy set off again.

Two more police cars were dispatched from the provincial capital to escort them, and they headed straight for the provincial capital's international airport.

Ji Bai leaned back in the spacious leather seat of the Coaster, gazing out the window at the roadside trees rushing past.

The red and blue lights of the three police cars ahead flashed alternately, and their sirens blared as they led the way. Vehicles along the route gave way in unison, and the entire highway was like a green channel specially laid out for them.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

The "little happy thing that happened today" that I randomly picked this morning was actually waiting for him here.

It really is a rather "small" matter.

From Fucheng to the provincial capital, police cars led the way, officials escorted him, and academic luminaries accompanied him all the way. Such a grand spectacle was something he wouldn't have dared to even dream of in his previous life.

An old saying suddenly popped into Ji Bai's mind: "A true man should either live to eat from five tripods or die to be cooked in five tripods!"

Cool!

That was fucking awesome!

……

The convoy went directly to the airport's VIP tarmac, without even entering the terminal, and boarded the plane directly through the exclusive VIP channel.

At the cabin door, the flight attendants were already lined up and waiting. Upon seeing the group, the chief flight attendant, who was at the head, bowed slightly, her posture respectful and proper.

Academician Wang and Ji Bai were seated in the front row of first class.

The moment he sat down, Ji Bai thought to himself, "It's definitely different."

The seats are so spacious that they can be laid flat to become a bed, and the independent partitions make the space private and quiet. The small table is exquisite and sophisticated, and there are fresh-cut flowers and chilled drinks on the side. It's a completely different world from the cramped feeling of being crowded in economy class.

The flight attendant half-squatted down beside me, gently inquiring about my drink and meal preferences in a voice so tender it was almost sweet.

Ji Bai calmly ordered a glass of ice water, his expression unperturbed, but inwardly he gave this experience a perfect score.

The plane slowly taxied onto the runway, and the roar of its engines gradually rose.

Just then, the cabin intercom suddenly turned on, and a clear, pleasant, mature female voice rang out:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard this flight. This is the cabin crew announcement for this flight."

It is a great honor to inform you that we have a very special passenger on our flight today—

Ji Bai, a renowned Chinese mathematician, this year's top science student in the National College Entrance Examination, and the prover of four major world-class unsolved problems: Goldbach's Conjecture, the Collatz Conjecture, the Twin Prime Conjecture, and the Poincaré Conjecture!

A subtle commotion arose in the cabin—some people gasped in surprise, some craned their necks to look towards the first-class section, and some had already taken out their phones to secretly take pictures.

The flight attendant's voice continued to flow from the loudspeaker, gentle yet dignified.

"Three days later, Ji Bai will stand on the rostrum of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing and explain these four proofs to the world's top mathematicians."

This is his personal honor, the honor of the Chinese mathematics community, and the honor of all Chinese people.

On behalf of the entire crew of this flight, I wish Ji Bai a safe and successful trip, and I wish the verification conference a complete success!

The broadcast stopped.

The cabin was quiet for about a breath's time.

Then, from who knows which seat, a crisp clapping sound rang out first, followed by a second, a third, and then the entire cabin seemed to be set ablaze, with applause spreading from economy class to first class, rolling from the front rows to the back.

"Go Ji Bai!"

"come on!"

Ji Bai leaned back in the spacious leather seat of the first class cabin, his smile more difficult to suppress than a gun that hadn't been wiped for three days.

Grass!

There's a second level!
