Of course, Qiao Yu wouldn't possibly know that a bunch of big shots held a special meeting just for him. After all, every year the members of the Fields Award Evaluation Committee are strictly confidential, at least nominally strictly confidential...
That's to prevent anyone from getting any funny ideas.
In this world, there are people who don't care about winning awards, but there are also those who dream of winning one. And the former are few, while the latter are many.
After all, any top world prize, as long as you win one, your basic needs for a lifetime are pretty much taken care of.
Whether it's in the realm of science or any other category.
But even if Qiao Yu knew about this special meeting, he would probably think it was only fitting.
After all, he solved the Riemann Conjecture!
However, he did receive an official invitation from the International Mathematicians Conference Organizing Committee again.
