402 Always Have A Steelyard In My Heart (1/3)

Chapter 402: Always Have a Steelyard in My Heart (13)

After getting into the car, Wang Peng took Lu Zhou to Xianlin University City.

When passing through the school gate, Lu Zhou suddenly noticed that a banner was being pulled over the school gate.

[Congratulations to our honorary professor Lu Zhou for winning the first prize of the National Natural Science Award! 】

Looking at the banner with white characters on a red background, Lu Zhou suddenly looked nostalgic.

Speaking of which, is this the first time he has been hung up here?

He only vaguely remembers the first time he visited this place, it seems that it was because of the Higher Education Society Cup of the Mathematical Modeling Contest...

Obviously finally reached the banner on the school gate, Wang Peng said with a smile: "This is your alma mater."

Lu Zhou said with some emotion: "Yes."

Glancing at the nostalgic expression on Lu Zhou's face, Wang Peng asked with a smile: "Professor Lu plans to return to Jinling to work in the future?"

"That's right," Lu Zhou said casually, "Suzhou Province has good educational resources, and I have feelings for it. I plan to build an advanced research institute in Jinling, introduce the research experience from Princeton, and strive to make it To be number one in Asia, and even the strongest in the world."

Anyway, it's bragging, so he doesn't make drafts.

Whether it can be done is another matter.

But what Lu Zhou didn't expect, he was number one in Asia at one moment, and the strongest in the world at another moment, which made Wang Peng, a layman, stunned for a moment.

He must be bragging when others say this.

But Lu Zhou...

Even if it was bragging, he couldn't help but believe it!

After a while, Wang Peng came back to his senses and answered the sentence stiffly.

"...Professor Lu has lofty aspirations, I admire him!"

"Haha," Lu Zhou smiled, "Don't take it to heart, I just said it casually, just listen to it."

Learning is one thing, education is another.

Mr. Qiu tried for so many years, but failed to recreate a Harvard Department of Mathematics at Shuimu University. His Institute of Computational Materials is still in its infancy, and it may take some time to see the results.

Wang Peng didn't speak, but just wrote down these words silently, and prepared to report when the leader asked.

If it can be done.

As far as the country is concerned, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

The car quickly drove to the downstairs of the laboratory. After Lu Zhou got out of the car, he looked back at Wang Peng who also got out of the car.

"I may stay here for a few hours, can you find a place to touch fish for a while?"

Wang Peng was stunned for a moment: "Fishing?"

Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "I mean, find a place to pass the time."

After reacting, Wang Peng smiled and said, "No, I'll just wait in the car."

Seeing that Wang Peng said so, Lu Zhou didn't say anything more.

He took out a box of tea leaves from the trunk and walked towards the laboratory building.

As the exam month passed, the students on campus had all gone home one after another, and the whole laboratory building was deserted, and there seemed to be no one there.

When he came to the familiar door of the office, Lu Zhou reached out and knocked on the door.

Soon, a familiar voice came from the office.

"Please come in."

Pushing open the door, Lu Zhou walked in.

Seeing Lu Zhou appearing at the door, Tang Zhiwei was slightly taken aback, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"Didn't I tell you last time, if you want to see me, just come over, it's too vulgar to bring a gift."

"Let's be vulgar. I don't think it's appropriate to come here empty-handed," Lu Zhou smiled, and put the tea in his hand on the coffee table. , I bought some tea."

Old Tang smiled and shook his head, looking at the graduate student he brought.

"Xiao Wang, go to boil the pot of water and help make the tea."

"okay."

Xiao Wang, who was sitting by the door of the office, stood up and walked towards the cabinet in the corner of the office.

The water in the electric kettle boils quickly,

Holding the tea set in one hand and the electric kettle in the other, Xiao Wang walked to the tea table and sat down.

Seeing the brother who made tea more and more proficiently, Lu Zhou couldn't hold back, and asked, "Senior brother Wang hasn't graduated yet?"

Hearing Lu Shen's senior brother, Xiao Wang smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm graduating this year...I got an offer from Mizuki some time ago, and I plan to report there in May."

"PhD?"

"Uh, yes."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Hearing this heartfelt congratulations, although Xiao Wang was happier, he still felt a little melancholy in his heart.

Looking at the mist on the teacup, Xiao Wang sighed and said with emotion.

"Hey, I still can't compare to you. When I was in graduate school, I watched you study as an undergraduate. Now that my graduate student has finally survived to graduate, you have become a professor at Princeton."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou didn't know how to comfort him.

In fact, to be reasonable, for ordinary people, getting an offer from Shuimu University is already very good.

At least, it is already better than 99% of its peers.

Anyway, Lu Zhou couldn't understand why he was so melancholy.

Not long after, the tea was brewed, and the office was soon filled with the fragrance of tea.

After taking a sip, Old Tang sighed softly, "Good tea, where did you get this tea?"

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly, "It was made in the hotel where I stayed during the meeting, it seems that there is no brand."

The origin of this tea is a coincidence.

At that time, he just thought that the tea in the hotel was delicious, so he asked Manager Zhang of the hotel where to buy the tea.

In the end, Manager Zhang didn't tell him where he bought it, so he took a few pieces of tea and delivered them to his room. Although Lu Zhou wanted to pay for it, but the manager Zhang refused to accept his money, only saying that the unlicensed supply was not for sale, and he would rather give it to him than accept the money.

Since he couldn't refuse, Lu Zhou accepted it.

Even if he drank too little tea himself and couldn't finish drinking so much, it would be great to take it home as a gift.

Especially his dad.

Lu Zhou still remembered that Lao Lu had told him more than once that his greatest hobbies in life were blowing the wind, drinking tea, and sitting by the ditch to fish.

"Then I don't want to ask any more," Old Tang smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's useless if I ask about your unlicensed tea."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll bring some back for you when I have a chance."

Staring at his former students for a long time, Old Tang suddenly said with emotion: "In the past, I just thought that your future achievements must not be easy, but I didn't expect your ability to exceed my expectations. Back then I could Let me share my experience in mathematics with you, I'm afraid you can be my teacher now."

"Where is the matter?" Lu Zhou shook his head, "On the subject of applied mathematics, your advice to me is still useful to me even now."

Not only the help in study, but the help outside of study, Old Tang also helped him a lot.

Before he went to Princeton to attend the report meeting, he was a little transparent in the international academic circle. Even if he had received the attention of a small number of people, he was far from well-known. It was the lecture in Princeton that really made his name shine internationally.

And that report meeting was recommended by Professor Tang Zhiwei.

It is not easy to meet a good professor.

Lu Zhou was also very fortunate that he met Old Tang.

And for those who have helped him, no matter where he is, he will never forget it.

"Okay, if you don't blush, I'm going to blush," Old Tang smiled and waved his hands, "A teacher who is academically advanced is a teacher, and it's okay to admit your own shortcomings, not to mention my own level, I still have a number in my heart .”

After a pause, Old Tang continued.

"You are no longer the brat you were back then. It is not an exaggeration to say that you have achieved fame. Even if you return to China to become a scholar, you still have the capital. I have nothing to teach you about academics. But things other than academics , I can tell you a few words, but I don’t know if you are still willing to listen to it now.”

Restraining his joking expression, Lu Zhou sat upright and said, "Teacher, please tell me."

Instead of looking at Lu Zhou, Old Tang looked at Xiao Wang who was sitting opposite Lu Zhou.

As if admonishing his students, he spoke slowly.

"The first prize in natural science is recognized by the country, and it is also the highest honor that the country can bestow on you. With that red book, you can accomplish things that most researchers can't even imagine."

"In your field, no one has more say than you. As long as you don't go too far, or even go too far, no one can restrain you. But at the same time, you have to remember that at any time, honor is a double-edged Sword, when you use it, you have to be careful no matter what."

"If you want to climb higher academically, you must have a steelyard in your heart. You must be clear about what is worthwhile and what is not."

Being stared at by Old Tang, Xiao Wang, who was sitting upright, trembled when he heard it, but smiled wryly in his heart.

MMP!

Even if you tell me these things, I will never have a chance to worry about that in my life.

Not to mention the national award, he doesn't have the qualifications to judge the provincial award...

But Lu Zhou, who was sitting opposite him, had a thoughtful expression on his face.

What Old Tang said was actually what he had been pondering over the past few days.

"Don't be so serious, I'm just talking casually." Looking at Lu Zhou with a serious face, Professor Tang took a sip of hot tea from the thermos, and changed the subject with a smile, "By the way, there is something I want to talk about. I have to ask you about it."

Lu Zhou raised his head: "What's the matter?"

"How is Luo Wenxuan's kid doing now? Have you graduated yet?"

Hearing Senior Brother Luo's name, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile, and the serious expression on his face faded a bit.

"That guy has finally written his graduation thesis. It will probably be two months at the latest, and he will probably be able to get a doctorate from Professor Witten."

"Really? That's good," Professor Tang nodded when he heard that his students were doing well outside, with a comfortable smile on his face, "Then I'm relieved!"
