Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 66

At Superiority College, a venerable and powerful institution sitting at the pinnacle of academia, a new post on social media was stirring up a storm of debate.

The comments below were filled with skepticism

“This student must be something special to get a direct admission offer, right?”

“Think a renowned mathematician can be bought with money? You gotta be kidding! Come on, enlighten us about the credentials of the one mentioned in the post!”

There followed a thread enlightening everyone about Frankie, a famous mathematician, listing the contributions he had made to the field over the years.

His research achievements were so significant that he could well be considered a national treasure!

There were doubters, and others who joined in calling for an explanation.

“Mathematicians aren’t human? Everyone loves money!”

“Some say Ms. Delaney is special, so here’s her background for you. Raised in an orphanage, no notable achievements until this year when she aced the Galaxy Math Whiz Competition and the National League.”

“Let’s be honest, two first places is impressive. If she had just followed the usual path and competed in the Mathematics Olympiad, her direct admission to Superiority College would be a no–brainer. But why the rush? Why not wait for more convincing results? From an outsider’s perspective, there has to be a backstory.”

“Conspiracy theory alert. Could it be that someone’s grades can’t stand up to scrutiny? After all, you can cheat in regional exams, but the Mathematics Olympiad is nationwide. Read between the lines.”

“In any case, we expect the admissions office to clarify!”

With the online community in an uproar, the social media team at Superiority College had already flagged the issue to the admissions office.

The admissions officer approached Frankie, “Mr. Thomas, if we don’t provide an explanation soon, we might even get inquiries from the national admissions authorities. Can’t we go public with her proof of Batra’s Conjecture?”

Frankie sighed, “To announce it before the journal publication wouldn’t be fair to her.”

Publishing a paper was a complex process. No one could be sure if someone else had submitted similar work before them or if the journal would indeed publish it in the next issue. What if something unexpected happened?
