The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad
Chapter 60 I hereby declare that Goldbach's Conjecture has been proven!
The viewers in the live stream went wild!
"Witnessing history!!! We are witnessing history!!!"
"The Holy Son has attained enlightenment at the pinnacle of the Forbidden City! From this day forward, the history of mathematics will be rewritten!"
"I'm not a math major, I couldn't understand a single formula, but I cried while reading it!"
"From this day forward, I can tell everyone that I lived in the era that proved Goldbach's Conjecture!"
"Unprecedented! Ji Bai is awesome! China is awesome!"
……
Ten minutes passed, and still no one got up.
Academician Zhou straightened his suit, a professional smile on his face, and prepared to stand up and walk onto the stage to give a concluding speech according to the procedure, announcing the end of the first day's agenda.
He had only taken two steps when Ji Bai on the podium suddenly smirked and picked up the microphone.
"Since no one has any objections—"
"Therefore, I declare that Goldbach's Conjecture has been proven!"
boom--!
The moment the words were spoken, thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall.
Scholars from both China and abroad applauded sincerely at that moment.
This pinnacle problem in number theory, which has puzzled humanity for nearly three centuries, was solved today, in this auditorium, by an eighteen-year-old boy.
Half a day of Q&A was enough for most people to accept the certificate and the young man.
Academician Zhou paused for a moment, then smiled and continued walking forward.
They're young after all; they can't keep their composure.
So what if you made the announcement?
I still have to go through the process, I still have to write the summary, and I still have to make sure things look decent in the end.
With that thought in his mind, he kept walking and was about to step onto the steps of the podium.
Ji Bai sneered and picked up the microphone:
"Meeting adjourned!"
"To be continued tomorrow!"
After saying that, he left.
It was decisive and swift; he didn't even turn his head.
Who the hell wants to listen to your babbling anymore?
The scholars in the audience also stood up, packed their things, and left.
They were even less willing to listen to that awful London accent.
In the vast corridor, only Academician Zhou remained, one foot still on the step, unsure whether to go up or down, frozen in place, his smile almost fading.
Viewers in the live stream went wild with laughter, and the chat was even more lively than when they witnessed history:
"Hahahaha! The Emperor isn't following the script at all!"
"Old Deng, the red-haired guy, was completely stunned! I felt so embarrassed for him!"
"Academician Zhou: I prepared a closing speech for half an hour, and you're telling me the meeting is over?"
"Hilarious! Ji Shen doesn't bother with all the formalities. He'll get his certificate and leave without a word!"
"The Emperor is indeed the Emperor; he subdued that red-haired old man Deng in one move!"
"I love how you don't give the old foxes any face! It's so satisfying!"
……
It was six o'clock in the evening.
The conference dominated the trending topics on all major online platforms, with eight out of the top ten trending topics related to today's conference, and each of them generating millions of discussions.
#Goldbach's Conjecture Officially Proved#

#Which school is the MIT lecturer from?#
#Academician Zhou made to stand on the steps as punishment#
#Ji Bai adjourns#
#Young Emperor Dominates the Globe#
Countless short video clips went viral across the internet, with likes, shares, and comments skyrocketing, and every memorable moment being repeatedly reviewed and appreciated by netizens.
The most liked video is a ten-second shot of Ji Bai wearing a blue and white school uniform getting off a Hongqi state car, which has garnered nearly 20 million likes and over a million comments.
"This is what Chinese youth should be like! Riding in state limousines, wearing our alma mater's uniform, and reaching the top of the world!"
"I used to think school uniforms were ugly, but now I realize that the people who wear them are really cool; they're the most prestigious formal wear in the world."
"From Fucheng No. 99 Middle School to Renmin University Hall, he wore the same school uniform and walked a path that others could not finish in several lifetimes."
"CCTV's unfiltered, raw photos are stunning; this youthful energy is absolutely captivating!"
At this moment, all other campus-themed wish-fulfillment novels pale in comparison!
……
The second most popular moment was the famous scene of Ji Bai's first words when he took the stage.
No opening remarks, no pleasantries, just the line, "I have proven Goldbach's Conjecture, who disagrees?" and it started from zero frames!
"Wow! That's so awesome!"
"I could watch this sentence a hundred times! This is the confidence that home teams should have!"
"No servility, no pandering, just a straightforward argument – that's true cultural confidence!"
"Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this! Eighteen years old, challenging the world's top mathematicians to a standstill!"
"With just that one sentence, he regained the face he had lost tenfold, a hundredfold!"
……
The third most memorable scene was when the MIT lecturer was left speechless after being asked three questions in a row, and the comments section was full of jokes and mockery.
"Hahaha, is Massachusetts really that hard to talk about?"
Massachusetts: Disgusting! Can you please not mention the school? I can't bear the embarrassment!
Ji Bai: Which school are you from? Lecturer: Please, please stop asking. I'll drop out now, okay?
"I used to think MIT's math department was amazing, but they can't even figure out basic transformations? Is that all?"
"The most awkward attendee in history: Before coming, he wanted to find fault with the event, but after arriving, he didn't even dare to mention his alma mater."
"I suggest MIT give this lecturer a 'Best Invisibility Award,' since he didn't dare mention the school's name at all, which can be considered as protecting the school's reputation."
……
Another scene is when Academician Zhou stands on the steps, unsure whether to leave or stay.
Netizens have turned it into various memes, captioned with things like, "Who am I? Where am I? Am I still going to give my closing remarks?"
His opening remarks on his "helping guide theory" have also become widely known.
The comments section was filled with mockery:
"He started by fawning over foreigners in English, but ended up being left standing on the steps by a teenager. This is karma."
"You keep saying 'help Ji Bai complete the proof,' but he doesn't need your help at all and even thinks you're making him late for get off work."
"I suggest we thoroughly investigate this old man! He's already boosting others' morale and diminishing his own before the conference has even started—his intentions are despicable!"
"Stop his pension! Make him read English to foreigners every day!"
……
In short, the entire internet was in an uproar.
"Day 1 Results: Victory over Goldbach! Remaining Four Days: One conjecture each day, and I'll leave work on time."
"Ji Bai's latest titles updated: Goldbach's Conjecture Terminator, School Uniform Spokesperson, Meeting Dismissal Master, MIT Lecturer Career Killer, Global Mathematician Q&A Machine"
"Unlocking a century-old puzzle every day—this pace is even more satisfying than watching anime!"
"At this rate, Ji Bai will go from a high school student to the Pope of the mathematics world in four days."
……
Of course, many rational netizens also poured cold water on the idea online, reminding everyone not to be reckless:
"Don't be too happy yet! This is far from over. The foreigners won't just give up like this; they'll definitely have more tricks up their sleeves."
"The first four days are for proving yourself; the real test will be on the fifth day with open Q&A! That's where the real battle begins."
"Those people at IMU have been proud their whole lives. There's no way they'd willingly let a Chinese teenager put them above them. They're definitely up to no good."
"They're very likely to cause trouble!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the comments section immediately began to speculate.
"Stir up trouble? How?"
"I suspect that on the fifth day they might present a question on the spot! They might throw out a top-level difficult question under the guise of 'asking for advice,' and if you can't answer it, you'll be disqualified."
"You can do that? Isn't that cheating?"
"This is a long-standing tradition in academia. It's like defending your title. Proving your achievements isn't enough; you also have to withstand the scrutiny of your peers to truly establish yourself."
"Wait a minute... an impromptu question? Why does this script look so familiar?"
"The Highly Intellectual Alliance! Last time, the Highly Intellectual Alliance set a question on the spot, and Ji Bai answered it instantly!"
"Hahaha, the mention of the Highly Knowledgeable Alliance has instantly put my mind at ease! This is a classic case for Ji Bai, he knows it like the back of his hand!"
"Not only am I not worried, I'm even looking forward to it. I hope the foreigners prepare something challenging this time, so they don't fail to last more than three minutes and it won't be good enough to watch."
"Be bold! Let's go straight for the seven unsolved problems of the millennium! Otherwise, it won't even be enough for Ji Bai to warm up!"
"The world's seven largest? You really dare to dream of that!"
"Let's play it safe. Even if Ji Bai is a genius, he can't possibly prove a problem of the level of the world's seven greatest on the spot!"
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe Ji Bai will actually do it?"
"Don't even dream about it, it's impossible!"
