Chapter 876 Lu Xun Once Said

Nothing that troubled the little girl happened.

Because that night, she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and finally took the initiative to ask her sister out on WeChat, and went out to watch a movie together the next night.

As for Lu Zhou, he didn't have any special arrangements for this day. He sat in the office as usual, doing the things he usually does step by step.

When he was in Princeton before, he went to the countryside to celebrate this festival, but it seems that he has not celebrated it since returning to China.

Of course, this may also be because there is no one who can spend this festival together.

After all, most of these "imported" foreign festivals will be labeled as Valentine's Day. For those who don't have a date, of course, it's better to be as far away from crowded places as possible on this day.

But at this moment, a movie ticket was stuffed in front of him.

"Shall we go to the movies together?"

Glancing at the movie ticket, Lu Zhou raised his head, and saw Senior Brother Luo, who was holding the desk with his right hand and smiling, giving him wild winks, as if he was crazily hinting at something.

Seeing this expression, Lu Zhou hesitated a little.

It seems to mean...

Insinuating that he refuses?

In an uncertain tone, he spoke.

"I'm busy?"

"Ah...you're not free, I bought two tickets specially to treat you to a movie," Luo Wenxuan put his right hand on his head and scratched his hair exaggeratedly, Luo Wenxuan looked at the office Looking around for the figure of Assistant Kong, he continued in that exaggerated tone, "What a headache..."

Lu Zhou: "..."

No, no, no...

He couldn't help but want to throw up.

This guy is not a beginner who has never seen the world, how could he come up with such a stubborn old trick to ask girls out to watch a movie. Even Lu Zhou, who had never seen the world, was almost made to cry by this guy's tricks.

Madness hinted for a while, Assistant Kong who was sitting by the window was still indifferent, and didn't even notice his side at all. Just when Luo Wenxuan was about to despair, Assistant Lin happened to walk in from the outside.

"Midnight show?" Hearing the commotion here, Lin Yuxiang walked over to look at the movie tickets, suddenly glanced suspiciously at Luo Wenxuan, then at Professor Lu who was sitting behind the desk, and finally looked at him with a strange expression. Luo Wenxuan continued, "You invited Professor Lu to the movies...why buy the midnight show?"

"Two big men watch the midnight show together, it's not the premiere yet..."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou, who was drinking tea, almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

Fuck, this guy is a werewolf!

Buy a ticket to the midnight show for the first time?

Luo Wenxuan, who was standing by the desk, was also overwhelmed by this sentence, and hurriedly explained.

"No, this... I think the midnight show is cheaper, so I bought it."

But it's no use explaining.

What's more, this explanation is too blunt.

A professor who has returned to China with a research start-up fund of millions of people, would he care about the price difference of ten or twenty yuan?

Just kidding!

Then I think that this guy always runs to Professor Lu's office when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't do anything when he comes, except for a cup of tea.

Could it be...

Luo Wenxuan immediately regretted this hastily spoken words.

However, it was obviously too late to regret it at this time.

He has already noticed that several people in the office look at him in a somewhat unnatural way.

In particular, the one who hurt his heart the most was Assistant Kong, with a look of surprise in his unexpected eyes, he almost poked at his heart, making him almost cry.

It's fine if you have an interest in this area, but the problem is that I'm not that kind of person!

Lin Yuxiang said sharply: "Isn't it? You all have the money to decorate the office, but you still don't have the money to reimburse the invoice for the movie theater?"

Luo Wenxuan: "..."

At this moment, he didn't want to say a word.

Looking at Professor Luo who fell into silence, Lin Yuxiang rolled his eyes and suddenly pursed his lips into a smile.

"Why don't you just sell the ticket to me, and I'll go with Professor Lu to see it, no problem."

Luo Wenxuan, who just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding at this moment, naturally didn't have any opinion, so he decisively sold his teammate without saying anything.

"Okay! I have no objection!"

Han Mengqi: "!!!???"

Seeing the mess in the office, Lu Zhou coughed heavily.

"You...you don't seem to have asked my opinion yet."

There was anticipation in Yingying's eyes, Lin Yuxiang immediately looked over and clapped her hands together in front of her chest.

"That……"

Lu Zhou: "No time, no going."

Lin Yuxiang: "..."

Kong Jie, who couldn't hold back, who was sitting by the window not far away, burst out laughing.

That smile, like the spring breeze blowing on the face, seemed to blow away the winter snow.

Feeling that the surrounding area became quieter, Lu Zhou glanced at Senior Brother Luo who was standing across from the desk, and shook his head helplessly as he looked at the petrification-like appearance.

This guy……

The eyes are almost growing on other people...

...

Movies are impossible to watch.

Not to mention the midnight show.

Apart from mathematics, there is nothing worth keeping his eyes open until twelve o'clock. Even if you step back 10,000 steps and add another one, you can only add one physics at most.

The work rhythm was not disrupted by the episode caused by the two movie tickets. He was busy until dusk, when most people in the office had finished walking, Lu Zhou stretched himself and stood up from his desk. stand up.

However, within two seconds of standing up, a WeChat call came to his mobile phone.

He took out his phone and saw that the video request was from Xiaotong, so Lu Zhou pressed the connect button.

As soon as the video was connected, that familiar face instantly came into view.

"Brother! I miss you so much!"

A clear voice came from the other end of the video, and Xiaotong, who was wearing loose pajamas at home, leaned excitedly in front of the screen of the mobile phone.

Haven't seen each other for almost a year.

When we parted from the last time, the little guy looked a little thinner, but there was no other obvious change.

Looking at his sister at the other end of the video, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"If you think about it, I can just look in the mirror. Anyway, we were born by the same mother. Even if we are not carved in the same mold, we are almost alike."

Xiao Tong: "Bah, bah, don't try to take advantage of me!"

Looking at Xiaotong who was strongly resisting, Lu Zhou smiled and did not speak.

Although Xiaotong is unwilling to deny it vigorously, what's the use of denying it? As for who took advantage of whom, of course he still knows in his heart.

After all, didn't Lu Xun once said that a girl with a handsome and charming brother usually doesn't disappoint the audience too much.

"Come on, why did you suddenly think of calling your brother?"

Hearing Lu Zhou's question, Xiaotong on the other side of the video rolled his eyes, and instantly put on a flattering expression, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Brother, it will be New Year's Day in a few days~"

"Um."

"I want a present!"

"No problem," Lu Zhou smiled, "Tell me, what do you want, as long as I can afford it."

"Hee hee, it's done, then I'll send you the list of gifts!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a light ding-dong sound from the computer on the table, and then a string of bubbles popped up in the lower right corner, and Xiao Ai popped out in good time.

【Master, there is new mail~()】

Do you have such a big appetite?

Too many emails to send...

But Lu Zhou has nothing to worry about. With his current savings, let alone buying some expensive bags or clothes, even buying a smaller investment bank for her to practice is no problem.

Holding the right hand of the mouse and double-clicking, Lu Zhou clicked on the mailbox and followed the title of the email.

However, when he saw the title and attachment content of the email, he was slightly taken aback.

[Research on the impact of welfare policies on macroeconomics based on the Bewley model]

He has heard a little about the Bewley model. It seems that when he was still in Princeton, a Nobel laureate in economics talked to him about it. It is said that it is the most important, cutting-edge and One of the hardest subjects. The advantage is that it is intuitive in the numerical sense, and the disadvantage is that the solution is cumbersome.

Taking the current mainstream computer as an example, it takes one to two hours to run Krusell&Smith's Bewley model with overall fluctuations in Fortran90. Designing the entire mathematical model may take years for a well-known scholar.

Compared with this kind of research on macroeconomics, the topics of those mathematical modeling competitions are all pediatrics.

However, although he has heard about the Bewley model, he doesn't know much about it. After all, like most professors in Princeton who are engaged in pure mathematics research, he is not very interested in money. interest.

At most, just a little more interested in spending money...

Suddenly, Xiaotong realized something in Xiaotong's expectant eyes. Lu Zhou, who looked away from the email, collected himself, and immediately said angrily.

"Do your homework yourself!"

MMP!

Meow, I, a Fields Medal winner, went to help master students with their homework. Will the news spread out?

"Brother~!"

Lu Zhou said blankly: "It's useless to act like a baby, I won't take this."

Xiaotong said with a sad face: "But this is too difficult, and I am not a mathematics major... Let me do such a difficult subject, I really have no choice but to ask you for help."

Of course Lu Zhou would not believe her nonsense and shook his head.

"How difficult can a master's thesis be?"

"If you don't believe me, read the attachment! After reading it, you will know whether it is difficult or not!"

Really couldn't stand Xiaotong's soft and hard talk, sighed Lu Zhou looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, and finally reluctantly agreed to just look at it.

But just after he downloaded the attachment and glanced at it, a strange color appeared in his eyes.

Although he doesn't know much about economic theory, the problems shown in this appendix are indeed beyond the ability of a master's student to solve in terms of mathematical models.

Even if he asks He Changwen, his chief student at the University of Jinan, to do it, it will probably take a lot of time, and it may not be able to make the model so beautiful.

"Your instructor is a bit interesting. This kind of homework... if you don't put a lot of effort into functional analysis, even if you just master the principles of mathematical modeling, it may not be easy to get this thing done."

Xiaotong pouted and said, "Let me just say, is this something that people do?"

Lu Zhou: "Are you sure this is the task your mentor assigned you?"

Xiaotong nodded her head vigorously: "Huh! Otherwise? I'm crazy to choose such a difficult topic for my graduation thesis."

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Well, I can't do the homework for you. This is your thesis. However, there is no problem in co-writing. You complete the part of economic theory, and I complete the part of mathematical principles."

"Really?! Brother, you agree?! Great, my graduation thesis is saved! mua!" Jumping up excitedly, Xiaotong, who embraced the screen of her phone and kissed her, lay back on the sofa. He said with a smile, "Brother is great! I love you to death!"

"Get out, don't mess with me, and I have a request."

Holding the pillow and sat up from the sofa, the cheerful Xiaotong said with a smile: "Let's talk, I will promise you anything, do you need me to introduce you to girlfriends? We have a lot of blond hair in the office next door. A pretty young lady with blue eyes and big breasts."

"There's no need for this," Lu Zhou coughed lightly, and continued, "...you can submit the paper directly after the paper is finished. You can do whatever you want to do, and the laboratory's signature, but the corresponding author hangs up. my name."

Hearing Lu Zhou's request, Xiaotong froze for a moment, and suddenly became frowning.

"But... I'm worried that my tutor won't agree. I'm about to graduate soon. If he blocks my diploma, I'll be miserable."

In the management of academia, students are doing white jobs for their tutors.

The thesis is not published by the supervisor, but published by oneself.

Dare to play like this is simply not wanting a diploma.

He expected Xiaotong to say that, but Lu Zhou didn't care much about it.

He smiled lightly and only said a word.

"You let him try."
