Peking University was chaotic!
With such a big thing happening, Dean Pan and the rest couldn't possibly not report this to the higher-ups. The university president and several vice presidents were also startled by this news. After hearing about this matter, their expressions all changed!
"What sort of bad temper does this kid have?!"
"Hurry, get Old Pan to keep trying to contact him!"
"No matter what, this award can't be turned down!"
"It wasn't easy for our Chinese mathematicians to come so close to the Abel Prize, yet he intends to turn down the award? Why is this Zhang Ye always doing things that no one else dares to think about?!"
"Get me Little Zhang's contact number! I'll call him!"
As the matter blew up, it was impossible to keep it under wraps.
