220 Human Nature (3/3)

Chapter 220 Human Nature (33)

After being sent down to the awarding platform by applause, with his back to the venue, Lu Zhou even heard someone calling his name, and from the corner of his eye, he saw someone quietly wiping the sand from the corner of his eyes.

It was just an impromptu speech. He didn't make much preparation in advance. The only preparation was probably just a draft before going on stage.

As for why the sensationalism he didn't expect...

Maybe it was out of emotion.

The awards ceremony was not over yet. Lu Zhou, who walked off the podium, returned to the awarding platform together with other winners after the principal and vice-principal spoke.

Academician Xu shook hands with each award presenter and presented honorary certificates.

When it came to Lu Zhou, the old academician held his hand and paused for two or three seconds longer than the others.

Afterwards, the old man looked at him approvingly and said with a smile, "That's a good speech."

Lu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you."

The old academician smiled and said, "No, it should be me thanking you."

The awards ceremony came to an end.

On the occasion of the transition from old to new in 2015 and 2016, all the students at the scene took an oath to look forward to the new year in the "Oath of Pillars", never forgetting the original heart and chasing dreams bravely...

...

The evening dinner is still in the big restaurant on the top floor of the cafeteria.

After the awards ceremony came to an end, Lu Zhou who returned to the backstage lounge had just loosened his tie, and before he had time to change out of his suit, he saw a young and cute girl, encouraged by several roommates or girlfriends, He walked in pretending to be calm.

Glancing at her, thinking it belonged to the student union, Lu Zhou asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"God Lu...Senior Lu! Well, can you give me your contact information...?"

Her face was very red, her voice stuttered because of nervousness, she was obviously not ready, and she even forgot to report her name. Come to think of it, it was probably at the instigation of friends that he recklessly mustered up his courage.

Lu Zhou glanced at the curious, excited, and gossipy eyes behind the door, and didn't want to embarrass the little girl, so he replied, "Is Q okay?"

"Can!"

Because of excitement, her voice was out of tune.

Lu Zhou nodded, picked up the pen on the table, wrote a line of numbers on the sticky note, and handed it to her.

Many people know his Q number, and he doesn't use it much, so it's okay to give it away.

Anyway, he probably didn't have much time for small talk.

"thanks!"

The girl kept the note in her hand as if she had found a treasure, and ran away like a frightened deer.

Looking at the closed door, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

If handsome is a sin.

He is really a sinful man...

Turning around and looking at himself in the mirror for a while, Lu Zhou finally remembered that he had to return his suit, so he was about to start undressing.

However, at this moment, the door of the lounge opened again.

This time it was an acquaintance who came in, President Lin of the Student Union.

Lu Zhou guessed that she was probably here to collect the suit, and was about to let her go out to wait for a while, but this one spoke first.

"Senior, you performed so well just now, you made all my juniors cry." Looking at Lu Zhou, Lin Yuxiang said with a smile.

Lu Zhou coughed dryly and said, "...please don't use such misleading terms."

What is crying!

Also, can't you add "performance on stage" in front of it?

Lin Yuxiang tilted his head, pretending not to understand.

But it was obvious that the sly corners of her eyebrows revealed that she did it on purpose.

Lu Zhou didn't want to talk to her about anything, so he crossed the topic and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Well," Lin Yuxiang nodded with a smile, "Dean Qin asked me to ask you when you plan to go there? There are a few leaders from the city who want to get to know you."

"Then I'll go there now." Lu Zhou said with a smile.

Lin Yuxiang nodded.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on his neckline.

Her eyes lit up slightly, and she spoke.

"Well, then I'll reply to Dean Qin like this. Ah, senior, your tie is crooked, I'll help you..."

"It's okay, I'm going to change the suit and return it right away." Lu Zhou smiled, took off the tie casually, looked at Lin Yuxiang's half-stretched hand, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Would you like to help?" Am I going back?"

Lin Yuxiang: "..."

...

Jinling University is a 985 university, directly under the central Ministry of Education, and has no direct relationship with the local government. However, the position that a 985 institution occupies in the local talent training strategy is undoubtedly huge.

Lu Zhou's international honors and potential have reached a level worthy of making friends with some people. Regardless of whether it is sincere or pretending, scholars who have won glory for the country cannot be neglected.

And this is also part of politics.

Although Lu Zhou's score in this aspect is not high, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand at all.

In the future, he plans to develop in Jinling. If he wants to go to a higher level, it is quite necessary to establish a good relationship with the local government.

Lu Zhou could also feel Dean Qin's intentions.

The school is providing itself with a platform to help itself accumulate contacts outside the academic circle.

At the banquet in the evening, Lu Zhou became the focus of the banquet without any surprise.

The youngest Chern Prize in Mathematics and the winner of the Cole Number Theory Prize are blessed with these two medals, plus the aura of being a candidate for the Fields Popular Prize, not to mention young scholars of the same generation, even some old professors and professors, yes The young rookie is also interested in making friends.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Zhou had a party very late.

When he returned to the hotel, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

After sleeping until noon the next day, Lu Zhou got up and washed his face. After cleaning up, he opened the suitcase, found two boxes of gifts, and went out the door with them in his hand.

This is the fish oil he bought in a duty-free shop. It is a health product that can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and alleviate memory loss caused by aging.

As for who it was given to, it was naturally Academician Lu and Old Tang.

Lu Zhou went to Academician Lu's office first, but it is obvious that the old man is still in Belgium and has not returned. It is said that he will go to CERN for a while, saying that he has made some important discoveries, and he may spend Chinese New Year abroad this year.

So Lu Zhou put the gift on the table and left a note on it.

Although I don't know when he will come back, but when he comes back, we will definitely find out.

Then, Lu Zhou turned and left Academician Lu's office, and went to the laboratory building of several institutes.

...

The door of the office opened, looking at Lu Zhou who came in, and at the gift in Lu Zhou's hand, Old Tang put down the ballpoint pen in his hand and said with a smile.

"If you were my student, I would definitely give you a hard time!"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I was your student in the first place, it's not too late for you to scold me now, but you must accept this gift."

The gift is not expensive, just express your heart.

Moreover, I am no longer an undergraduate student, and I can't talk about style and discipline.

What's more, after completing the student registration procedures in the coming year, I will start a new journey across the ocean. It is human nature to see the teacher before leaving.

Looking at Lu Zhou, Professor Tang smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Next time I come to see me, I don't need to bring a gift, just come over. Xiao Wang, go and pour a cup of tea for your junior brother."

"okay."

Xiao Wang, who was sitting next to the door, got up and walked to the cabinet with tea sets and electric kettles on the side with ease.

Lu Zhou smiled and said thank you to his brother, then walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, and continued to talk to Professor Tang: "What does it mean to come here empty-handed? I always feel that something is missing when I come here without bringing anything...not to mention This is not only my wish, but also Senior Brother Luo's wish. There is also a photo he asked me to bring back in the handbag, which was taken during a trip to South America, and he said he would give you some artistic things."

"That boy, I haven't forgotten the old man in the United States," Professor Tang smiled. After a pause, he looked at Lu Zhou and continued, "How about it? Next year, you will go abroad to study. Intend?"

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "I plan to work there for a year or two after I get my doctorate in Princeton, and then return to Jinling University to teach."

"Well, I support you," Old Tang nodded, "Foreign scientific research experience, this level of qualifications is very important in China. Whether you plan to develop within the system, or go out and work alone... It seems that you already have As for my own plan, then I won’t ask you any more, just seize the opportunity.”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Well, it must."

Old Tang also smiled, and suddenly changed the subject, and said in a teasing tone: "By the way, when are you going to talk to someone?"

When asked this question suddenly, Lu Zhou was a little caught off guard, so he laughed and said, "This... this thing still depends on fate, so don't rush it."

Old Tang said with a smile: "You are not in a hurry, but someone is in a hurry for you. The last time Dean Qin told me about you, he kept expressing emotion. He is not worried about you, but worried about you staying outside for too long , Jiaan will not be coming across the Pacific Ocean. Also, do you know that several old professors in our college with granddaughters are here to inquire about your situation. Especially Director Lu, whose granddaughter is also graduating with a Ph.D. this year It's a few years older than you, why don't you think about it?"

Xiao Wang, who was sitting at the door, suppressed a smile, and Lu Zhou, who was drinking tea, almost choked out internal injuries from a sip of tea, coughed a few times and hurriedly said: "Don't... I don't object to you arranging a wedding room, but arranged marriages are not. The bad habits of the old society, this is unacceptable."

Professor Tang laughed and said, "Haha, I was just joking. I gave Lao Lu a hard time at that time. Even if I wanted to arrange a marriage, I didn't go through the back door like this."

Lu Zhou nodded quickly.

Yes, yes, Director Lu's granddaughter...

Although it might be rude to say so, but referring to Director Lu's appearance, he really couldn't imagine what the old man's granddaughter would look like.

After the joke was over, there was a moment of silence in the office.

Lu Zhou didn't say anything, just sat there drinking tea quietly.

Seeing that his former students had grown to where they are today, Professor Tang nodded in relief.

After a long time, he spoke.

"Go."

Lu Zhou got up and nodded solemnly: "Yeah!"
