Chapter 84 Not Enough for This Honor

Director Lu really didn't lie to him. The last million cheque award was the last time. After that time, although the discussion about this matter on the Internet was still fermenting, no media entered the school and disturbed his daily life.

Only later did Lu Zhou know that the school had actually blocked a lot of interviews for him, including the several media that interviewed him some time ago, all of them are regular media with integrity. Many small media and freelancers want to enter the school's gate. Can't get in.

After all, a campus is still a place to learn.

Appropriate publicity will help to enhance the school's popularity and expand the school's student base, but if you don't grasp a degree, it will disturb the quietness of the campus and disperse a positive style of study. Regarding this point, the school leaders still have a steel scale in their hearts.

On Saturday, Lu Zhou went to ICBC and cashed the check for one million yuan under the personal reception of the president of the ICBC branch.

After sending away those who promoted insurance and wealth management products, Lu Zhou quickly left the bank. Until Didi sat at the door, he didn't fully recover, he just felt that his whole person was light and airy, as if he was in a dream.

He has never been so rich.

So suddenly so rich, he didn't know how to spend it.

Anyway, save first?

After getting out of the car at the school gate, Lu Zhou took out his mobile phone for the nth time and looked at the string of zeros in the transfer text message, his heart pounding violently.

"...One million is in hand, so it's only four million away from achieving the conditions for mission two."

After meditating for a few times, Lu Zhou put the phone back in his pocket and walked to the snack street at the school gate.

He casually found a small bowl restaurant to settle his lunch. When he crossed the school gate, it was already past two noon.

He remembered the phone call that Professor Tang gave him yesterday. Before returning to the dormitory building, he went to the laboratory building and found Lao Tang's office.

After knocking on the door, Lu Zhou opened the door and walked in when he heard a "please come in".

Seeing the person coming, Professor Tang smiled and teased: "You kid has been living a pretty cool day these days."

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "Teacher, don't make fun of me, I'm getting bored..."

The two graduate students working on the project in the office rolled their eyes and decided to ignore this shit.

bother?

Then you give me one million and let me worry about you!

The typical one gets cheap and sells well, it's so hateful!

Picking up the thermos cup and taking a sip of the hot tea, Professor Tang said with a smile, "Oh? I think you are quite happy. Are you going to enter the entertainment industry next?"

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and decided not to speak.

"Okay, I'll have a class in a while, I won't talk to you about anything else, let's get down to business." Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't speak, Lao Tang didn't continue to tease, paused for a moment, and continued, "I have an invitation here. The letter was sent from Princeton University, there will be an international number theory research conference in Princeton in February next year, and you are invited to give an academic report on your research results.”

Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Academic conference?"

Professor Tang said with a smile: "That's right. Academic progress lies in communication. If you have the opportunity to participate in as many international mathematics conferences as possible, it is only good for your personal development. Especially this conference has considerable influence in the field of international number theory. Li, you are the first undergraduate student in our school to receive an invitation from this conference to give an academic report, take advantage of this opportunity. The school will reimburse you for your round-trip airfare and room and board expenses, so you can go with confidence!"

Even if I take this opportunity to communicate with my peers, I will gain a lot.

Taking the written invitation from Professor Tang, Lu Zhou nodded.

"Then I'll go back and prepare."

"Take out your paper and revise it, just make a simple speech, and be concise and to the point. The focus is on the QA link that follows. It is estimated that many colleagues in the research are full of doubts and are ready to ask questions. To ask you a question, you have to prepare well for this!" Professor Tang urged.

"Understood... Then, I'll go back first?" Lu Zhou nodded.

"Don't rush, there is one more thing," Professor Tang smiled, paused for a moment, and continued: "Secretary Liu is going to recommend you to be selected as the top ten outstanding young people in China. Whether you can be selected in the end, at least it is a nomination. ."

Top Ten Outstanding Young People in China!

Lu Zhou's pupils shrank slightly.

He had heard of this "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in China" selection activity. It was said that it was creatively planned by the China Youth Federation and jointly sponsored by ten major news organizations. It aimed to recommend young talents and set a role model for the times. Only ten years have been selected...

Its influence is tied with the May Fourth Youth Medal!

Lu Zhou held his breath, his heart beat faster, but he quickly calmed down.

First of all, there is still a question mark on whether the proof of Zhou's conjecture is worthy of this award. After all, this award is not aimed at the field of scientific research, but is aimed at the selection of the whole industry in the whole country, and the audit standard is social contribution.

Moreover, as a political capital, the selection of such awards is often not as simple as it seems on the surface.

If he comes back with a Fields Medal, there is some hope.

Thirdly, there are no gratuitous gifts.

If the last time Secretary Liu came to the school to greet him, it was to show the importance that municipal work attaches to education and scientific research personnel. This time, he suddenly elected himself as the top ten outstanding young people in China. I'm afraid it is not as simple as it seems.

Thinking of this, the heat in Lu Zhou's heart faded a bit.

He never doubted his own intelligence.

but……

He is still somewhat self-aware about emotional intelligence.

Lu Zhou didn't give an answer, just smiled and asked respectfully: "Teacher, what is your opinion?"

Professor Tang said with a smile: "My opinion? It depends on where you want to develop in the future. If you plan to go into politics and develop in the system in the future, this is an opportunity. Secretary Liu may be a noble person in your career. Development Well, in the future, it will be no problem to be a big representative. It depends on your personal opportunities."

Lu Zhou was silent.

Professor Tang was not in a hurry and sat there drinking tea.

After a while, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled and shook his head: "I'm a student who has been on the edge of the passing line all the year round. I'm afraid it's not the material for this bowl of rice."

Although for the son of a worker whose father works within the system, the offer is quite tempting. If you can seize this opportunity and become the president of the university and even the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, plus his black technology system, you may not be able to walk out of a different kind of sunshine road.

But Lu Zhou felt that the most important thing is to have self-knowledge.

Moreover, he feels that he is used to doing whatever he wants, and the life in the system may not be what he wants.

"It seems that you are quite self-aware, and I don't think you are capable of doing this," Professor Tang smiled and put the thermos cup on the desk, watching Lu Zhou nodded approvingly, and said earnestly. , "Since you've made a decision, let it go. Remember to be euphemistic when you refuse."

Lu Zhou thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Students are not talented enough to take this honor... Is it okay to reply like this?"

Professor Tang smiled and nodded, and replied with only one word: "Wonderful."
