Beijing.
Chen Baohua's home.
The family was watching TV while talking and laughing as they ate their meal.
The news on the TV happened to be broadcasting the Century of Physics conference in Shanghai. Chen Yushan couldn't help but put down the chopsticks in her hand. Her eyes were glued to the screen.
Chen Baohua noticed the longing expression on his daughter's face. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart, but he still joked.
"You didn't go with him?"
Chen Yushan sighed with regret and spoke in a low mood.
She spoke in a bad mood, "I originally planned to go with him … But something suddenly happened at work. I have to come to Beijing for a business trip, so he can only go alone."
Originally, she had even booked a maglev ticket to Shanghai, and she was very depressed about this matter for a while.
However, Lu Zhou comforted her very considerately. He said that no matter how far apart they were, their hearts were tightly together.
Lu Zhou was getting better and better at making girls happy.
Just like this, the two temporarily separated for a while. Lu Zhou went to Shanghai, and she came to Beijing.
It was rare for Chen Yushan to go back to her hometown, so she didn't go to a hotel. Instead, she stayed with her parents.
In the past, she didn't like to come back here except for holidays. This was because she was always urged by her elders to get married.
But this time, she didn't have so many concerns.
If someone asked, she could confidently say that not only did she already have a boyfriend!
And her boyfriend was so good!
"… I heard from an old friend in the publicity department that there is a craze for studying physics all over the country." Chen Baohua turned his gaze to the TV. He watched the president walk down from the podium and Lu Zhou walk up to the podium. He said emotionally, "Half of this is because of Professor Lu."
Chen Yushan was stunned for a second.
"All over the country …? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated? "
Chen Baohua said with a smile.
"I'm not exaggerating. When Chen Jingrun's story was first reported, wasn't there a wave of people studying mathematics? You haven't seen it. There were even people who posted posters in the office, saying things like Goldbach's conjecture and ten ways to prove Goldbach's conjecture … Now that I think about it, it's quite fun. "
"Incredible …"
Looking at the sparkling expression on his daughter's face, Chen Baohua asked sourly.
"What's going on between you and Lu Zhou?"
Chen Yushan blushed and said bashfully.
"We're talking about …"
After staring at his daughter for a while, Chen Baohua suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Sigh."
Confused by this sigh, Chen Yushan asked.
"Why are you sighing?"
"Nothing." Chen Baohua lit a cigarette and said with a sigh, "I'm just worried about my daughter not being able to get married, and I'm worried about getting married. This is the struggle of being a father! When you become a mother, you'll probably be able to experience it! "
Seeing Chen Baohua smoking, Mother Chen, who was sitting next to him, immediately scolded him.
"You old man, don't smoke at home."
"What do you mean old man!" Chen Baohua stared at her and said, "I'm still far from being an old man. I have to wait until I have a grandson!"
Although that was what he said, he still consciously extinguished the cigarette.
When Chen Yushan heard the word grandson, she was extremely shy. She didn't know what to say.
Actually, she wasn't in a rush to get married. After all, both of them were very busy. Even if they got married, they wouldn't have a child so soon.
"Dad, these things aren't urgent, it's still early …"
"What do you mean it's still early!" Hearing this, Chen Baohua, who was arguing that he wasn't an old man, turned his head and glared at his daughter. "Your mother had you when she was in her early twenties. Look at the calendar, it's already the year 2000. Also, Shan, he's an academician in his early thirties. Not only is his career on the rise, but he's also quite handsome. I don't believe that he doesn't have any temptations in his life. "
When Chen Yushan heard this, she suddenly became anxious. She blushed and said, "What are you talking about! He's so busy, he doesn't have time … "
"It's not about being busy." Chen Baohua sighed and said, "Actually, I want you to find a normal family in the local area … However, you're the one in charge of your own feelings. Dad just wants to remind you, if you really like someone, don't hesitate too much. If you hesitate, the cooked duck will fly away. "
Chen Yushan blushed and said, "What do you mean cooked duck! Dad! If you keep this up, I'm going to move out after dinner! "
"You old thing, what are you talking about! What's so bad about our Shan 'er? Why don't you tell us! If you can't tell us, then don't eat! "Not only Chen Yushan, but her mother also joined the battle.
When Chen Baohua saw that he seemed to have angered everyone, he finally gave up.
However, just as he was about to laugh it off, the scene on the TV made the whole family stunned …
…
Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center.
After seven days had passed by, this large-scale academic summit with a total number of participants had finally come to an end.
At the closing ceremony of conference hall number one, the head elder stood on the podium on behalf of China. He faced the scholars inside and outside the conference hall, as well as the people of the world who were sitting in front of the screen. He wished the physics community well, as well as the blessings from the people of China.
In fact, when the Great Elder appeared on the stage, many of the people below the stage were surprised. No one expected that there would be such a powerful person at an academic conference.
After the old man finished his speech, the audience gave him a warm round of applause.
The head elder nodded slightly and walked off the stage. Lu Zhou walked to the front of the stage and took over the microphone.
After clearing his throat, he spoke in a clear and steady voice.
"Thank you for coming all the way to Shanghai to participate in this summit that concerns the future of all of us.
"For centuries, the reason why our discipline has been able to flourish as it is today is precisely because we understand the importance of communication and cooperation.
"On behalf of the ILHCRC Council, I would like to extend my highest respect and gratitude to all scholars who continue to seek on the road of physics, and to all people who are concerned about our common cause in the future.
"This Century of Physics conference has come to a successful end!
"Let us give our applause to ourselves and to the future!"
The audience burst into warm applause again.
The boiling sound waves were like rolling waves, almost collapsing the entire venue.
Bathed in the applause of the audience, Lu Zhou waited quietly for half a minute, waiting for the applause to subside a little.
Then …
Just when everyone thought that the closing ceremony was over, he opened his mouth again.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw out a nuclear-weapon-level bomb …
"Also, I have one more announcement.
"The next ILHCRC committee meeting will be held in seven days to decide the list of members of the next ILHCRC council and the candidate for the chairman!
"At the same time, after the election and handover work are over —
"Resign from the ILHCRC council!"
The atmosphere froze.
The head elder, who was standing behind the scenes, sighed softly, turned around, and walked away.
Luo Wenxuan opened his mouth. Although it was something that had been decided long ago, it was still difficult for him to hide the surprise on his face when Lu Zhou announced this matter here.
Dobrik, Wei Hong, Witten, Wilczek … Those physicists who were familiar with Lu Zhou but didn't know the inside story had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
No one expected Lu Zhou to announce his withdrawal here!
The entire conference hall fell into a dead silence, not a single sound could be heard.
Outside the conference hall, in the exhibition hall …
