Zhao Yi became a physics genius in the eyes of the crowd, and he didn't understand why.
Even in the academic conference, he pointed out the mistakes of the California Institute of Technology team, which should reflect his mathematical calculation ability and had only to do with mathematics.
The truth is he even didn't understand the team's report!
When people sung his praises, Zhao Yi bluntly said, "I'm not a physics genius, I don't even understand the reports, and the physics here is too complex for me."
"I know nothing about quantum physics, I just joined the team because it requires calculation."
That's the truth.
But not many people believe him after he said that. One man, a burly fellow with a full beard and seemingly Nordic style, solemnly said, "I understand the Chinese, they like being modest and low-key. That's no deception; it's a traditional courtesy."
Fine then!
Zhao Yi felt defeated.
