Chapter 12: Absolute Focus; Zhou’s Conjecture

In the presidential suite of Shangri-La.

The colorful night scene was reflected in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, like the stars in the night sky-gorgeous and bright.

Lin Fan finished the glass of XO in one gulp.

Then, his gaze fell on his phone.

[You’ve spent 1.31 million yuan and received 131 red packets. Do you want to collect all of them?]

Lin Fan had already received these red packets when he was at Guojin Center.

However, he did not accept them immediately.

That was because Lin Fan did not know what he would get.

At this moment, he did not have so many scruples.

“Yes!”

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 100 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 99 yuan.]

…

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve gained ‘Professor-Level Mathematics Experience’ (use excellent mathematical knowledge to solve difficult problems while showing a fascinating charm).]

…

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained the skill ‘Absolute Focus,’ and thus, the ability to easily answer difficult questions. There’s a 5% chance of triggering a flash of inspiration. A focused and serious man is the most handsome!]

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 10,000 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained Jiangbei City’s Qiankun building Office Block 1.]

…

Out of the 131 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 500,000 yuan.

Then, he focused on his Professor-Level Mathematics Experience and Absolute Focus.

Professor-Level Mathematics Experience? ‘If only I had this when I was in school.

‘Absolute Focus? This one seems pretty good.’

When Lin Fan raised his head, he saw a stack of property certificates on the coffee table in front of him.

[Qiankun building, Level 1, A201. Area of 200 square meters. Property owner: Lin Fan.]

[Qiankun building, Level 1, A202. Area of 150 square meters. Property owner: Lin Fan.]

…

Lin fan looked at these title deeds and revealed a strange expression.

“Qiankun building? Isn’t this where I work?”

Ring, ring, ring!

At that moment, Lin Fan’s phone rang urgently.

“Lin Fan, why didn’t you come to work today?” Ma Zhiyuan’s voice came from the phone.

Lin Fan then remembered that it was working hours today.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you that I’m going to resign,” Lin Fan said.

Even if the system had not appeared, Lin Fan had already thought of resigning.

Now, the plan was brought forward.

“Quit?” Ma Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment. “Alright, then if you have time, come over and carry out the handover process. Otherwise, the supervisor will probably cut your salary for last month.”

“Alright, I’ll head over in two days,” Lin Fan said.

Lin Fan naturally did not care about the salary.

However, he had always been a person who would finish what he started.

If he did not do the handover process, the person taking over his work would be in trouble.

After he hung up, his phone vibrated.

It was a WeChat photo from Qin Yuxuan.

The photo was of her beautiful face, and the Heart of the Deep Sea was seen around her snow-white neck. Her whole person was faintly blooming with a brilliant light.

Mysterious and beautiful!

Qin Yuxuan: [I like it very much. Thank you.]

Lin Fan: [There’s no need to say thanks between us. It’s good that you like it.]

Qin Yuxuan: [The project will officially start tomorrow. I’ll be quite busy for a while, so I might not be able to accompany you to go around Modu City.]

Lin Fan replied: [It’s okay, you do your thing. However, you have to balance work and rest.]

Lin Fan: [This is perfect timing too. I’ll probably have to return to Jiangbei tomorrow to settle some work matters. I’ll come back to Modu City to hang out with you in the future.]

Qin Yuxuan replied: [Okay.]

…

In Qiankun building, Jiangbei City.

Chang Kui looked at the lease contract and muttered, “It’ll be up in two months. Let’s go to Mr. Wang from the property management to renew the contract for next year. I hope the price won’t rise by too much.”

As he spoke, Chang Kui walked out of the office and went straight to the top floor of the Qiankun building.

“President Wang, long time no see! What are you busy with?” Chang Kui asked with a smile.

“I’m sorting out some contracts and documents,” Wang Zhongde said. “By the way, is there anything I can help you with, Director Chang?”

“Can’t I have some tea with you, President Wang?” Chang Kui laughed.

As he spoke, Chang Kui took out a jar of premium tea and said, “This is premium tea that my friend brought from Wu Yi. However, I don’t really drink tea, so I brought it here for you to try.

Wang Zhongde was a tea lover, and his eyes lit up when he saw the premium tea.

Chang Kui continued, “By the way, our company’s rent will be up in two months. Director Wang, do you think we should renew the contract?”

Wang Zhongde said helplessly, “Director Chang, you might have made a wasted trip today. Qiankun building has already been sold to someone else.”

“You sold it to someone else?” Chang Kui’s eyes widened in surprise.

It was no wonder he was so surprised.

Qiankun building was located in the center of Jiangbei City where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.

The estimated price of the entire Qiankun building was as high as one billion!

Chang Kui did not dare to imagine what kind of person could take out such a large sum of money.

“That’s right.” Wang Zhongde nodded and said, “So, we can only discuss the renewal of the contract after the new boss comes.”

“Director Wang, is it convenient for you to tell me who bought Qiankun building?” Chang Kui asked.

Wang Zhongde hesitated for a moment before saying, “You’ll find out sooner or later anyway, so I’ll tell you first.”

As he spoke, Wang Zhongde took out a document from the drawer.

Chang Kui quickly flipped through it and said in surprise, “Lin Fan? The person who bought the building is so young?”

…

The next day.

After sending a message to Qin Yuxuan, Lin Fan bought a first-class ticket and returned to Jiangbei City.

It was already afternoon.

Lin Fan did not choose to go to the company. Instead, he returned to the Hilton Hotel and prepared to hand over the work the next morning.

When he walked into the lobby of the Hilton Hotel, he was attracted by the large posters.

[International Mathematical Research and Discussion Conference Welcomes You]

[Hu Chuan, Dean of the School of Mathematics of Jiangbei University.

[Fang Zhengtang, Professor of the School of Mathematics at Hanzhong University.]

[When 2^(2^n) < p < 2^(2^(n+1)), MP has 2^(n+1) -1 as a prime number.]

Lin Fan did not pay much attention to the introductions of the people in front of him.

However, when he saw the math problem at the back, he was interested.

Lin Fan thought for a moment, then picked up the pen beside him and quickly wrote on the wide signature board.

[pMp(22n)^pMp(22n-1)=2n^1… (a)]

[pMp(22n)=2n+1^n-1]

…

Thud, thud, thud.

The entire lobby was filled with a series of rapid knocking sounds.

At the start, Lin fan's writing speed was still very fast.

However, Zhou's Conjecture was a world-class problem.

Even with Lin Fan's Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, he was soon stuck and his writing speed slowed down.

It was like a rugged mountain road that was difficult to cross.

However, Lin Fan loved to challenge difficulties and never gave up. He had been calculating silently.

[Ding! Absolute Focus triggered a flash of inspiration.]

Instantly, it was as if Lin Fan had grown a pair of wings. His initially slowed writing speed became even faster.

Outside the Hilton Hotel.

A few men and women in suits and leather shoes, who looked very refined and elegant, were walking forward.

"The teachers, professors, and leaders of Jiang Zhong University, the University of Science and Technology, and Jiangbei University of Technology will all be attending the seminar. Have you prepared the venue and meals?" The dean of the School of Mathematics, Hu Chuan, asked.

"President Hu, don't worry. I've already prepared all of the logistics. I guarantee that this international mathematics conference will be a grand event," Huang Zihao said.

"We all know that Dean Hu has taken a huge step forward in the research of Zhou's Conjecture!"

I believe that this seminar will definitely cause a sensation in the country or even the world!
