Chapter 217 Pretending to Be Aggressive Is Not a Good Habit

From the reaction of the little girl, Lu Zhou can probably guess the whole story.

Sighing slightly, he cut off a piece of grilled rib and stuffed it into his mouth.

"poor child……"

The world has never been peaceful.

Just because he happened to be born in a peaceful country.

Try to stuff the food on the plate into your mouth. As for the food that you really can't eat, Lu Zhou has no choice but to give up.

Seeing more than half of the ribs remaining, he secretly thought it was a pity in his heart.

If I had known that the portion of this thing was so big, I should have called Senior Brother Luo to eat it together.

As for the taste...

Actually not bad.

After leaving the rib shop, that episode was quickly put aside by Lu Zhou.

Back at the hotel, he began to sort out today's notes.

However, at this moment, Lu Zhou's cell phone rang suddenly.

After pressing the connect button, Old Tang's voice came from the other end of the phone immediately, and two questions were thrown at him in succession.

"When do you plan to return to China? Will you return to Jinda before the year?"

Hearing these two questions, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and quickly understood why Old Tang asked this question, so he coughed dryly and said, "New Year's Day is coming soon, I plan to go home directly."

Old Tang didn't seem surprised by Lu Zhou's answer. He smiled and said, "You're not coming back? We're still waiting to present you with an award."

Lu Zhou: "Awards?"

Old Tang smiled and said, "Didn't you just study for a master's degree? This year's Person of the Year can be judged once more. You don't need to write any materials like last year, just go on stage to receive an award."

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said with a smile: "This...let's give it to someone else who needs it more. I've already taken it once! I won't grab it from the seniors!"

Jinda’s annual figures and special scholarships are still very valuable in China.

With this thing, as long as the major is basically the right one, you don't have to worry about finding a job, and you will be rushing to get it in any company.

He has even won an international award like the Cole Award, so naturally he is not as concerned about this person of the year as he was last year.

Old Tang: "You really don't want it?"

Lu Zhou: "No need!"

Old Tang smiled, but didn't insist, and said: "That's fine...you are about to graduate, and I will give you a bonus of one million yuan. I feel sorry for the school! If you don't want it, then don't, I support you. "

"puff!"

Lu Zhou, who was drinking water, almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Patting his chest and coughing several times, he hurriedly said, "How much?"

Old Tang smiled and said, "How much is it? Why are you asking about this scholarship even if you're not here?"

Lu Zhou asked: "Isn't the special scholarship only more than 10,000 yuan? What's the matter with one million?"

"Others' scholarship is 10,000, while yours is 1 million," Old Tang said with a smile, "This is a decision made after discussion in the school, and I also heard from Dean Qin."

Lu Zhou: "..."

After Lu Zhou didn't speak for a long time, Old Tang laughed and put down the thermos in his hand.

After a pause, he sighed, and said earnestly, "You kid has changed too fast, but one thing has never changed, that is, you love money too much! Loving money is not a bad thing, you can't do it without money Scientific research, you can't marry a wife... But you have to remember that when facing money, you must have a steelyard in your heart, otherwise, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later."

"I know teacher!" Lu Zhou received the old professor's good intentions, and said with a serious face, "The academic conference will end on the 23rd, but if the organization needs me, I will fly back immediately!"

"You boy," Old Tang shook his head with a smile, then continued after a pause, "it's okay, you can continue to finish this meeting. It's not a big deal to postpone the selection of this year's person for two days, anyway, it's all in Before New Year's Day, I can just have a reaction with Principal Xu."

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "Then teacher, the 1 million...is there any more?"

"Have!"

Things are different from last year.

Before Lu Zhou won the Shiingshen Chern Mathematics Award and the Cole Award, he was gold-plated for the Grand Prize, but now Lu Zhou, who is already well-known in the world, won this award, not for himself. Gold-plate the special prize of Jinda University and the school badge of Jinda University!

Just like Einstein's Nobel Prize is not Einstein's honor, but the Nobel Prize's honor.

A school-level honor is already dispensable to Lu Zhou, so in order to invite Lu Zhou back to receive the award, it is reasonable for the school to increase the amount of the scholarship by "a little bit".

What's more, it's not a big deal to postpone the award presentation for two days to match his schedule.

...

It has been a week since I came to California, and two days before Christmas, the academic conference finally came to an end.

As usual, this academic conference also awarded the best young speaker award.

The winner was a French professor in his thirties, and his report was about a breakthrough research achievement in the field of partial differential equations.

Due to the time conflict, Lu Zhou unfortunately missed this report meeting. However, judging from the downloaded papers, the speaker's level is indeed worthy of this award.

In addition, there is also a best speaker award for all speakers.

And this award is also without suspense, and it was awarded to Professor Helfgott.

His research in the field of Goldbach's conjecture and the proof of conjecture B will become one of the most eye-catching research results in the field of number theory this year.

If it wasn't for the fact that this old man had already won the Cole Award, Lu Zhou might have been a little bit stuck this year.

Although for the old man, the "Best Reporter Award" is dispensable, but after all, it means that his peers recognize his research results, and he still accepts it with a smile.

What's more, the bonus of 20,000 US dollars is not a small sum compared to his salary.

After attending the closing ceremony, Lu Zhou bought a ticket to return home.

Originally, he planned to land in Shanghai, and then fly directly to Jiangcheng after a connecting flight.

However, his alma mater's warm invitation to go back to accept the award was really hard to refuse, so he agreed.

Just as he was using his knowledge of geometry to stuff everything into the suitcase as skillfully as possible, Xiaotong's WeChat call suddenly came.

After pressing the connect button, Lu Zhou put the phone on the bedside table and turned on the speakerphone.

In the video, Xiaotong in pajamas lay on the bed kicking his calves boredly, yawning, and asked lazily.

"Brother, when are you coming back?"

It happens to be night in China right now, and it looks like the little guy just fell asleep.

While stuffing the chocolates for his sister into the suitcase, Lu Zhou replied casually.

"Come back before New Year's Day, what's the matter?"

Xiaotong rolled her eyes and said, "Two good news, which one do you want to hear?"

"The monthly exam results are the first in the class?"

Xiao Tong's eyes widened in surprise, "Brother, you are... amazing!"

As expected of his sister, she has half of his talent.

Lu Zhou smiled, "At this point in time, besides the monthly exam, what good news do you have? Tell me, what is the other good news?"

Xiaotong smiled and said, "Lao Ma asked me to ask you, do you want to go back to your alma mater to give a speech?"

Lu Zhou was speechless: "...what kind of good news is this?"

Xiaotong: "Of course it's good news! Brother, are you going?"

Lu Zhou was too lazy to go, but he still asked.

"You want me to go?"

Xiaotong's eyes sparkled: "I want to!"

Unable to hold back the expectant gaze, Lu Zhou sighed, and smiled helplessly at her: "Then go."

Xiaotong cheered, hugged the pillow and rolled a few times: "Yeah! Brother, you are the best!"

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

This little guy, he has a bit of skill in being smart, but he likes to show off a little.

Pretending to be aggressive is not a good habit, it will be fine when she can learn to keep a low profile.
