Listening to Ye Lengan’s solution, Elder Sun’s eyes brightened more, and when he looked at her, his gaze was filled with even greater appreciation.

Zheng Anyang, who was listening to Ye Leng’an’s explanation at the side, felt like he was deciphering some cryptic text. Despite being the principal, it didn’t mean he was all-knowing. Even though he had some understanding of mathematical problems, the last question was a recent and highly challenging problem that he had never encountered before. Thus, as he listened, he remained somewhat perplexed.

After hearing Ye Leng’an’s explanation, Elder Sun had an epiphany, and when he looked at her, his eyes seemed to be radiating enthusiasm. “Truly, talent emerges in every generation! With your approach, I wonder why I hadn’t thought of it earlier. Ye Lengan, do you realize how substantial your contribution is to the field of mathematics?”

“The field of mathematics?” Ye Lengan appeared puzzled upon hearing Elder

Sun’s words. “Elder Sun, what do you mean by that?”

She had merely answered a competition question; how did that connect her to the field of mathematics?

“Oh, my bad.” Elder Sun exclaimed, lightly patting his head. He promptly disclosed the intricacies of the final question to Ye Lengan.

After learning of Elder Sun’s intention, Ye Leng’an’s mouth involuntarily twitched. She had never expected that this last question had been prompted by Elder Sun’s spontaneous idea. Even more surprising was that she was the only examinee who had correctly answered it.

“Ye Lengan, you are undeniably gifted in mathematics,” Elder Sun declared while gazing at her as though he had found a rare treasure. “So, my visit today primarily revolves around a specific question. Would you be interested in becoming my student?”

Upon hearing this proposition, Ye Lengan initially remained silent. However, Zheng Anyang, who was beside her, grew increasingly enthusiastic.

It was worth noting that Elder Sun was not only a leading figure in the mathematics field of this country, but he was also renowned globally. To be mentored by him would undoubtedly lead to significant achievements in the field of mathematics.

Currently, Elder Sun had only two students, both of whom had earned international acclaim as mathematicians. One of them had even received the Fields Medal.

However, Elder Sun had not taken on any new students for years. Unexpectedly, he had shown interest in Ye Lengan, which was a truly pleasant surprise!

Nonetheless, Ye Lengan didn’t exhibit the same excitement. After a moment of reflection, she replied, “Elder Sun, I appreciate your kind offer. But honestly, I don’t have that much passion for mathematics. Furthermore, I don’t plan to pursue a career in this field in the future, so I’m sorry, 1 can’t accept your offer.”

Elder Sun didn’t anticipate such a direct rejection from Ye Lengan. He quickly offered a persuasive retort, “Perhaps you are unaware of your own potential. Your mathematical talent is genuinely exceptional. After hearing your explanation, I am certain that, if you are willing to invest effort into mathematics, your future achievements will undoubtedly rival mine.”

In his many years of experience, Ye Lengan was the most naturally gifted student he had encountered. Consequently, he was reluctant to forfeit the opportunity to nurture such a promising talent.

Zheng Anyang, too, was growing increasingly anxious. He could tell that this was a remarkable opportunity for Ye Lengan.

He joined the plea. “Ye Lengan, Elder Sun is right. With your level of talent, it should not be squandered. Furthermore, interests can be cultivated.”

Despite the persuasive arguments from both, Ye Leng’an’s decision remained unwavering. She maintained a resolute stance, saying, “Elder Sun, Principal Zheng, 1 understand your intentions, but I truly have no plans to further my studies in mathematics. I have a clear direction, and I’m sorry.”

Seeing Ye Lengan’s firm resolve, Elder Sun was somewhat disappointed but didn’t insist. Instead, he inquired, “In that case, would you be willing to share what field of study you plan to pursue in the future?”

“Traditional Chinese medicine!” Ye Leng’an’s tone was firm. “Over the years, Western medicine has dominated the field of medicine. However, I believe that our traditional Chinese medicine is not inferior to Western medicine. The knowledge passed down by our ancestors is undoubtedly far superior to foreign practices..”
