Rejection

Regardless of whether it was expected or not, the opening ceremony of this year's mathematics conference came to an end. The two Loo-Keng Hua and Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Awards were settled in the applause.

Someone was unhappy?

The rewards did not care about your feelings!

The shutter sound from cameras was loud as the second the opening ceremony ended, the reporters started to swarm toward the stage.

The reporter from Daily Mail asked a question first.

"Professor Qiu, there are rumors that you have had a disagreement with the mathematics department at Yan University. Is this true?"

With a smile, Professor Qiu Chengtong, "Of course it's fake. I'm Wang Shicheng's old friend, and we talk often. Wang Shicheng, don't you agree?"

Professor Wang Shicheng had a stiff smile as he said, "Of course. I admire Old Qiu's work on partial differential equations."
