Among the group heading to Hyderabad in Y Country, everyone except Zhou Li was unaware of Fan Lei's true background and believed he was some sort of math prodigy.
This was quite normal.
Who would have thought that Zhao Yi would let someone who didn't understand mathematics do the presentation on his behalf?
As a result, many were interested in Fan Lei, feeling they should nurture a member of the younger generation in the mathematical community. After all, the person was going to represent the top mathematician Zhao Yi at the International Mathematicians Conference. This experience would undoubtedly be unforgettable for him and would motivate him to devote himself more diligently to the study and research of mathematics.
Qiu Chengwen had a particular fondness for young geniuses. He knew that Fan Lei hoped to continue "following" Zhao Yi, but he still wanted to gauge Fan Lei's level in mathematics, so he kept bringing up mathematical topics in conversation.
