68. Thirty seven
After the executive meeting, Jung-ho left the president’s office.
President Moo-sik Choi stuck out his tongue and said to Managing Director Sang-in Kim.
“It’s a thing. thing!”
Managing Director Kim Sang-in said with a smile.
“I went to work with me today, do you know what Jung-ho said in the car?”
“… ?”
“After the contract with Uruguay is over, they are saying that we should advance to Europe. Now that the exchange rate has plummeted, this is a great opportunity.”
“is that so?”
“We are analyzing the brands of Adidas, Kappa, and Puma. They said they would send me and CEO Choi together soon, and I’m already looking forward to what kind of data they will send. ha ha ha!”
“Five! It’s not normal.”
“You say you want to make Balhae Sports into a company like Nike, but when a young student says something like this, you have to think that you are just cute, but you have goosebumps all over your body. haha!”
After seeing Kim Sang-in’s happy expression, CEO Choi opened his mouth with a cautious expression.
“But, uncle.”
“yes?”
“What exactly is your relationship with Jung-ho?”
“haha! well.”
“Looking at today, it seems that Jungho is holding the neutral gear between you and me, just be honest.”
“He’s the kid I want to be son-in-law in the future.”
“Is that true? Then with Youngmi?”
“haha! It’s just my greed.”

Namseodong Pizza Hot.
“Are you Youngmi?”
Youngmi politely greeted the major’s sister’s question.
“Yes, sister. It’s been a long time. How is life in America?”
“Every day is just a war, huh? But are you really pretty?”
Young-mi smiled silently at her sister’s words, and her sister said to Ji-eun, who was with In-cheol.
“hi! You are the creator!”
“oh! Professor, how did you know my name?”
In response to Ji-eun’s question, the older sister pointed to In-cheol and said.
“In-cheol talks about you every 10 seconds, but you can’t understand it. But don’t call me professor, just call me sister.”
“Wow! really? From a long time ago, I thought it would be great to have an older sister!”
While saying hello, Yoon Seok-yi hyung arrived, and we ordered food.
When In-cheol and Ji-eun got up to get their salad, I asked the major sister.
“Noona, what happened to the file that In-cheol created?”
I looked into the laws against cyber crime in the US, and it is a crime for an individual, not a prosecutor or police, to hack into someone else’s computer arbitrarily for whatever reason.

Not only her sister, but the damage could also extend to In-cheol and Yun-seong-soft.
At my question, my sister smiled and said.
“Don’t worry too much. I’ll let you know when it’s all settled.”
At the words of my older sister who didn’t take it too seriously, I said to Yun-seok-hyung.
“This is not a light matter. In-cheol and Yun-seong-soft may also have an impact.”
Yoon-seok hyung shook his head at my words and said.
“As far as I know, it has nothing to do with Yoon Sung Soft. Jung-ho, you really don’t have to worry about it.”
The major older sister added to the older brother’s words.
“Jeong-ho, you have a girlfriend next to you, are you going to keep talking like this? yes?”
When my sister said that she was a girlfriend, I turned my head to look at Youngmi, and Youngmi smiled at me and said.
“why? no?”
“Oh, no.”
At my answer, the major older sister and Yun Seok-yi burst into laughter, and Ji-eun put the salad plate he had brought on the table and said,
“By the way, what are you doing research in America?”
While the older sister hesitated about how to explain, In-cheol intervened.
“That’s a study called Poincare, what is it? It’s a frighteningly important study to discover the shape of the universe, its secrets, and so on.”
“Oh my! Poincare! Elegance from the name. Sister, please let me know about Poincare too.”
In response to the author’s question, the major older sister said.
“That’s the math problem of Poincare’s conjecture, hmm… . How do you explain this?”
My sister looked around the restaurant, got up, went to the place that packs pizza boxes for delivery, and then returned to her seat.
In her sister’s hand was a packing string that tied the pizza box around.
My sister made a noose knot with the wrapping string, placed the knot on the table, and slowly pulled one end of the string, she said.
“If you keep pulling the ends of the knot like this, the round noose here will eventually come together into a single point. Is not it?”
We nodded, and my sister continued.
“We can do this on the surface of many three-dimensional objects. For example, you can do it on a plate here, or you can do it on a table.”
“… .”
“But when you make the lasso smaller and smaller, there are objects that don’t come together. What do you think is the case?”
After thinking for a moment, the author pointed under the table and said.
“Here are the table legs.”
“Five… ! Good idea.”
The older sister said as she wrapped the string around the legs of the table and made a noose.
“Are you saying this?”
“yes.”
“But if I could move this noose up and down freely, I could lower it all the way down to the legs of the table. Then we can bring the lasso back to one point.”
“ah… ! Yes.”
After thinking for a moment, Youngmi pointed to her mug and said.
“If you make a lasso on the handle of the mug here, I don’t think the lasso will come together in one spot.”
“Yeah, right! Youngmi, it’s even more amazing.”
At my sister’s words, I pointed my finger at Yeongmi and said.
“This is our Northwest High School ace, Kim Young-mi!”
Ugh… !
Youngmi had stabbed me in the side with her elbow.
The older sister smiled and started explaining again.
“As English and American say, cups with handles or donut-shaped objects do not have a lasso on one point. , this is Poincare’s conjecture.”
Youngmi said with a curious expression at her sister’s explanation.
“Sister, by the way, can you even call that kind of math? I think it’s a little bit like geometry, but it doesn’t seem like geometry again, and it’s a little strange.”
“Is not it? Isn’t it very strange? this is really weird This is called topology, but it doesn’t seem like math because there aren’t many numbers and there are a lot of abstract concepts, but it’s actually math. It has a lot to do with the set theory you learn in your first year.”
Youngmi smiled softly at her sister’s words.
“Still, I think it’s fun.”
The pizza we ordered just arrived, and we started eating.
While eating pizza, Yoon Seok-yi hyung said to his sister.
“The senior major wasn’t originally Poincare’s guess. It seems that your senior thesis was rather in the field of hermeneutics, right?”
“right. Do you remember?”
“But how did Poincare’s guess start?”
“There is a new doctoral student who has just joined, and as I was discussing research topics with that student, the Poincaré conjecture went away. haha!”
The older sister thought for a moment, then spoke again.
“I was originally going to give the student a different research topic, but after talking with him for a while, I want to make a Poincaré guess. ha ha ha–!”
“Then, was the senior persuaded by the graduate students?”
“I think so. Well persuaded ha ha ha!”
“Then, did that student choose a senior as their advisor even though he knew that his major wasn’t Poincare’s guess?”
“ah… ! That’s a bit of a story.”
“What is the story?”
“There is a thesis I wrote during my Ph.D. called the Yoon-Schultz theory.”
“Yes. I know.”
“He said that the first time he asked me for an interview was because of the name of the theory.”
“Because of the name of the theory?”
“Yeah, the student’s name is Mike Schultz. He said that my theoretical name was the same as his last name, and he wanted to meet me because he was so curious about it. So I met you. ha ha ha!”
The moment I listened to my sister, my whole body hardened.
‘The student’s name is Mike Schultz.’
‘The student’s name is Mike Schultz.’
‘The student’s name is Mike Schultz.’
These words kept running through my mind, and everything from the moment I first met Mike in my past life to the moment I heard the news of his suicide was painted like a flashlight before my eyes.
Mike Schultz.
It was the most painful finger of my past life, and when the painful memory of that time came to mind, it was the first name I tried to erase from my mind.
This life my help has helped my major sister detect errors in McLean’s theory in advance, but that doesn’t mean that the fact that he committed suicide in the past life is not erased by my poor advice.
Suddenly, I felt a warm hand stroking my back.
“Jeong-ho, are you okay?”
“Yes?”
it was young
Youngmi was looking at me with worried eyes.
I stared blankly at Youngmi like that, and opened my mouth with difficulty.
“it’s okay. I’ll go to the bathroom.”
restroom.
It seemed that he only regained consciousness after washing his face with cold water.
I took a deep breath and opened my mouth to mutter.
“Mike becomes the major’s sister’s disciple… . Mike becomes the major’s sister’s apprentice… . Mike Schultz becomes the major’s sister’s apprentice.”
After repeating this with my mouth a few times, I started to feel it, and I thought that it was better.
You’ll be able to hear about Mike through your sister.
Come to think of it, Mike has been very interested in the Poincaré conjecture in his past life.
Whenever he encountered me in the hallway, he would always ask me how far my research was going.
Mathematicians fall into two main categories.
One is mathematicians with good intuition, and the other is mathematicians with strong logic.
Of course, if you were born with both intuition and logic, you would become a mathematician of the century like Euler or Gauss.
The major older sister is a bit weak in logic, but she is very good at mathematical intuition.
For reference, mathematicians with great intuition like my sister are rare, and it is difficult to explain this mathematical intuition.
For example, given a mathematical problem, mathematicians with good intuition often come up with a solution or even guess the answer before solving the problem. It is said that there is
On the other hand, Mike Schultz is a mathematician who has stronger logic than intuition, and most mathematicians including myself in my past life belong to this group.
When mathematicians with strong logical power solve mathematical problems, they arrive at a solution by weighing each one, as if they were fighting numbers in Go, rather than relying on intuitive feelings.
Past Life Mike Schultz was able to spot subtle errors in McLean’s theory because of his tremendous logic.
A combination of a highly intuitive advisor and a graduate student with strong logic.
This is the ideal combination for graduate students in mathematics and it is true that most famous mathematicians of so-called modern mathematics studied for their degrees under highly intuitive advisors.
Major’s sister and Mike Schultz.
It occurred to me that these two might be able to prove Poincare’s conjecture before Perelmann.
If you can do that, that would be really cool.
When I came out of the bathroom after organizing my thoughts like this, Yoon Seok-hyung was waiting for me.
“Jeong-ho, are you okay?”
“yes I’m okay. I slept late last night, so I think it was because I was a little tired.”
“I see. Everyone was worried, but I’m happy.”
Yunseok hyung looked around and opened his mouth.
“Jeongho-ya, I actually got a call from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency this morning.”
“ah… ! Is it because of the contract next week?”
Yoon Seok-yi hyung nodded and said.
“Yeah, we did a background check. That’s the result, I think I should let you know… .”
“… ?”
Yoon-seok-hyung looked around once more and lowered his voice and continued.
“Has your father remarried?”
Yoon Seok-yi had known for a long time that my parents divorced and my father remarried.
I nodded my head indifferently, and my brother continued talking.
“There are records that his father defected to North Korea during the Korean War.”
“… !”
“His father still lives in North Korea, and it seems he is in a higher place.”
“High… where?”
Yoon Seok-yi hyung nodded his head in response to my question.
“I think that’s a pretty high party cadre in North Korea.”
“Then, do you know that lady too?”
“I don’t know about that either.”
“… .”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think your name will be listed in the Michael Security business.”
“ah… ! it’s okay. Isn’t the contract canceled because of me for nothing?”
“It’s not like that. Instead, I think I will have to go to the National Police Agency by myself next week when we are refining the details of the contract.”
