Chapter 74: Chapter 68: As Long as Everyone is Happy (4/10 for First Subscription, Asking for Monthly Pass)

Germany, University of Bonn.

As Ackerman Konietz was reading a piece of literature, his phone suddenly rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, Ackerman Konietz then picked up and answered the call.

"Professor Stein, what's the matter?"

"Ackerman, I think you should open your email now."

"Oh? Let me guess..."

"Don't guess, that author seems to have quite the temper."

"Haha... There are plenty with a temper. They're just too young."

"Maybe, but I just took a quick look, and the paper actually has some insight. So, Ackerman, do you still stand by your previous opinion?"

"Of course. Why, you're not getting cold feet, are you?"

"No, I just really want to meet this little guy who dares to speak his mind. Of course, I'll still support you!"

"Well, thank you."

...

New York University, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, the editorial office of "Pure and Applied Mathematics Communications" is inside the Courant building.

If Spider-Man were working on the outside wall at that moment, he could see through the glass curtain wall, the leisurely scene in the editorial office.

Five editors were either holding coffee or desserts, enjoying afternoon tea in the cafeteria while chatting about the interesting things that happened that day.

"Jack, has Professor Konietz from the University of Cologne and Professor Snet Roman from Sorbonne University replied to the message?"

"Haha... Jack, don't try to swindle our money! But won't that completely fall out with the University of Cologne? We have to admit the mathematics level at Cologne is pretty strong. Perhaps it's only slightly behind institutions like Princeton, Berkeley, Harvard. Of course, Germans' level in mathematics has been strong the entire century."

"No, no, no, Ackerman Konietz doesn't represent the University of Cologne, just as we can't represent the attitude of New York University. And just looking at their suggestions, you'd know what they mean. Maybe their research happened to clash, right?"

"Alright, folks, enough of that. We might need to change the topic. You know what? I don't like the Huaxia people, especially not the pushy ones. So let's talk about something else, shall we? No more discussing these mood-dampening topics."

"Hmm, okay, John, let's talk about something you're interested in. Did your wife say to you when you got home, 'Ah, John, not having you by my side is as painful as when you are here.'"

"Hahaha..."

This time, the laughter was even more joyful.

This damn American sense of humor!

Undoubtedly, it was a very amusing afternoon in the editing room. Perhaps years later when everyone reminisced, the memory would still be filled with the smell of aromatic coffee and the warmth of the afternoon sun.

And the paper?

It was just a piece from a mathematical desert, who would really care?!

But truthfully, the stances on both sides were quite amusing.

Really, it was hard to say what mood these editors would be in a month later when recalling this beautiful afternoon.

When Monday came around, heralding a fresh week, it was a special one for the students at Xilin University of Technology.

It was already June 5th, and for the students, it officially marked the final exam sprint season.

The official websites of each college had also begun posting the final exam schedules.
