"..." Taylor shook his head and said slowly: "If that's the case, then start voting now. The person with the highest number of votes is the winner of this Cole Prize."

vote?

When this was said, everyone smiled.

"Dean Taylor, there is no need to vote. We mean the same as Professor Schultz. We launch a campaign for the Cole Prize." Professor Stanley from Alexandria University, who is also the nominee for the Cole Prize, said with a smile.

"Yes, that's what we mean."

"And I……"

"..."

Including Professor Stanley, the remaining candidates for the Cole Prize have expressed their opinions.

All quit?

This Nima, is it still fun?

This move instantly stunned Taylor.

Voting for the winners is the tradition of the Keer Prize since its establishment.

For transparency and fairness.

But now, all the candidates have chosen to quit!

If it weren't for the associate dean of New York University and knowing that there is no inside story, Taylor would even think that someone was operating in the dark.

"Professors, you..."

"Professor Qin's achievements are well-deserved, and I will be far from it..." Stanley shook his head and said.

"..."

Gritting his teeth, Taylor said: "Professor Qin, please come on stage to accept the award!"

"Papa Papa~"

Amidst the tide of applause, Qin Luo got up again and walked onto the podium!

"Congratulations, professor~" Taylor picked up the trophy on the display cabinet and handed it to Qin Luo.

After taking both hands, Qin Luo shook hands with the vice president of New York University and nodded in thanks: "Thank you."

Applause sounded again.

This time, the applause was warmer than any previous time.

Deligne, Farjens, Henrik, Fu Zhendong... There are many unnamed professors.

They blushed and applauded desperately.

The Cole Prize for Number Theory, Qin Luo deserves it!

The melodious classical music sounded, and Qin Luo was honored by the warm applause.

Standing on the stage, feeling a heavy trophy in his hand, Qin Luo couldn't calm down for a long time.

To ask an academic worker when he is happiest, Qin Luo will answer without hesitation: when he wins the prize.

The meaning of an award is not just a trophy, or a medal, or a lot of money.

His true meaning lies in: honor!

Awards are recognition of your contribution!

"Thank you, thank you everyone..." Qin Luo bowed and said sincerely.

"Congratulations, Qin Luo..." Schultz stepped forward to Qin Luo, patted Qin Luo on the shoulder heavily.

"Thanks..."

"If Professor Qin meets sometimes, you can come to our Alexandria University to have a look..." Stanley came.

"sure."

"The door of our University of Porto is always open for professors..."

"I think Yenching University is very good..."

"Oh, that's a shame..."

Schultz, Stanley, Walton...

Every candidate for the Cole Prize came to Qin Luo, hugged and saluted.

Although they lost to Qin Luo, they were a little bit angry, because Qin Luo's strength is obvious to all, and he deserves the Cole Prize!

"I propose to celebrate at the next Hilton Hotel, and Professor Qin will pay for it!" Suddenly, Schultz shouted.

"Ohohoh, I agree..."

"Professor Qin's celebration banquet, I'm sure to come here..."

"I really want to see Professor Qin's most drunk look..."

"..."

For a time, everyone responded.
