278 Rejecting Of The Submission, Just A Newcomer’s Writing

Editors paid more attention to submissions from Oxford.

“FengLuo? I’ve never heard of him.” The editor curled his lips in disdain. He opened it and laughed. “Thesis on Hodge’s conjecture? Hahaha.”

He didn’t look at the rest of the content at all after his laughter. He directly sent the email into the recycling box and sent a standard rejection reply.

This matter was also thrown aside like the ma.n.u.script.

Editors have been in the business for many years and have seen many articles on cla.s.sic problems.

Many of them were trying to fish in troubled waters to gain fame. Therefore, they would immediately look at the name and past achievements of the contributor.

If it was a n.o.body who was studying a cla.s.sic topic, then this paper was no different from trash. It was only worthy of being mocked for two seconds.

…

Luo Feng felt relaxed ever since the thesis email was sent. He was not to the extent of squatting in front of the computer and waiting for the reply.

The outcome was very unexpected.

“Rejected?” Luo Feng frowned slightly.

He knew he had miscalculated.

He submitted to the Annals of Mathematics for no other reason than their authority. Their editing standards would definitely be much higher. If he submitted his ma.n.u.scripts to ordinary journals, they might not be able to understand the content at all.

However, the contradiction was that Luo Feng was not famous. Speaking of which, his main course of study was finance!

If the contributor to the thesis was not a big shot, it would be easily ignored by the editor.

Luo Feng was convinced that he was in a dilemma when he received the rejection letter.

If he wanted to publish the results of Hodge’s conjecture, he had to be recognized by Oxford and have them lead the way.

The problem was that Luo Feng was not famous, and he did not know any big shots in the mathematics world…

Wait a minute! Isn’t there a mathematics expert nearby?!

Luo Feng thought of Professor Vincent!

Christine glanced at Luo Feng. She offered the solution before he could say anything. “Professor Vincent will definitely be interested! I’ll go look for him!”

With that, she s.n.a.t.c.hed the paper from Luo Feng’s hand and ran out.

…

“Professor!” Christine ran back to the school just in time to hear the bell ring. She blocked Professor Vincent at the entrance of the school building.

Professor Vincent was also surprised to see Christine.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed like he hadn’t seen his graduate student for a long time. During this period of time, he had dismissed many people who came with him with their questions. It seemed like Christine wasn’t among them.

He actually approved of Christine. She suddenly came to look for him after not seeing him for so long, either because she had encountered a wonderful problem or because she had made great progress.

Either way, Professor Vincent was very happy.

“Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?”

“I… I…” Christine panted. “It’s not me. It’s about Luo Feng.”

Professor Vincent was stunned. “Luo Feng? You know him?”

He had long wanted Luo Feng to join his sect. It seemed like Luo Feng was unwilling, but it turned out that he had already interacted with his students in private.

Moreover, judging from how anxious Christine was for this junior, they must be getting along very well.

A good learning atmosphere was just like a friendly office environment. It could also keep people around! What if Luo Feng was already moved by the friendly senior?

Professor Vincent was a little happy when he thought about it.

He said amiably, “What’s wrong with Luo Feng? Tell me slowly.”

“It can’t be slow!” Christine was fl.u.s.tered. “Luo Feng’s thesis has been rejected!”

Hearing this news, Professor Vincent’s first reaction was, “Did that kid really write the thesis?” His second reaction was, “Could it be that he wrote it very badly?”

Calculating the time, the first draft of the thesis should be out.

Professor Vincent had not asked about it for a while and thought that Luo Feng had given up. He did not expect that he would be rejected after submitting the ma.n.u.script silently.

The professor was not surprised. “That’s normal. His knowledge is still shallow even though he is smart. It’s reasonable that his arguments are insufficient. Tell him not to be discouraged. There’s still a next time.”

He did not really want Luo Feng to write an SCI-level thesis, nor did he want Luo Feng to really drop out of school.

It was good that his ma.n.u.script had been rejected.

Luo Feng would study obediently in school, so Professor Vincent had more opportunities to poach him.

Christine shook her head and hurriedly said, “But Luo Feng’s thesis is really amazing! You have to take a look!”

“Hm?”

Professor Vincent had never seen Christine like this.

He knew about Christine’s arrogance after all. Why was she so convinced of Luo Feng? What had happened? Professor Vincent was very curious. “Let’s go back to the office first.”

The two of them returned to the office. Professor Vincent made two cups of coffee and prepared to slowly study this matter.

“Which journal did he submit to?”

“The Annals of Mathematics!”

“Huh?” Professor Vincent seemed to be hallucinating. “Again?”

“The Annals of Mathematics!” Christine shouted at the top of her lungs.

Professor Vincent picked up his coffee and put it down again. He had mixed feelings.

Luo Feng dared to invest in Annals of Mathematics as soon as he came up. He had a lot of ideas. It seemed reasonable to be rejected.

That was a top academic journal in the mathematics world. Perhaps no one in the country could pa.s.s it in a year. Anyone who was published even once could easily be evaluated as a young scholar.

Professor Vincent had always been envious because he had never sent it in.

Of course, he had published papers in other publications of the same level. Papers were not essays. They could not be written just like that.

“Are you in such a hurry because you think his thesis is qualified?” Professor Vincent asked tentatively.

“Yes!” Christine was very certain.

Only then did Professor Vincent notice the ma.n.u.script in Christine’s hand. “You came to me because you want me to help him?”

Could this child have been brainwashed by Luo Feng? Wasn’t she always busy with herself in the past?

Christine took a deep breath and her palms were sweating nervously. “Professor, you know my love for mathematics. I’m not helping Luo Feng. I just feel that if his thesis can’t be released, it will be a loss to the entire mathematics world!”

“…” The corners of Professor Vincent’s mouth twitched.

Why was it getting more and more exaggerated?

Was this child really brainwashed?

“Alright.” He was the student he admired the most after all. He still had to give him face. “Let me take a look at the thesis.”

He really did not think that Luo Feng could write something that could shake the world. No matter how talented he was, an undergraduate student who had been in school for less than a year… was simply a fantasy.

“Professor, look carefully. Some of the arguments are more novel.”

“… Are you looking down on your teacher?”

Professor Vincent really didn’t believe it! Was there anything he couldn’t understand about an undergraduate thesis?

If there really was, it must be a typo!

He took the thesis from Christine’s hand. It was as thick as a book. Professor Vincent felt that his att.i.tude was quite good if it was filled with Luo Feng’s research results.

However, att.i.tude was not the only thing that mattered when it came to learning.
