Eleven o 'clock at night.
The guests began to leave one after another, and the whole party came to an end in a grand atmosphere.
Lu Zhou originally planned to take a taxi home directly, but just after he returned to the lounge and changed into his daily clothes, a hotel waiter knocked on the door of the lounge and politely conveyed Chairman Li Guangya's invitation to him, asking if he could spare ten minutes to chat with him.
Thinking that there was no other arrangement for a while, Lu Zhou accepted the invitation, followed the waiter's footsteps to the next room, and saw Chairman Li Guangya waiting there.
"How do you feel?"
"Are you talking about the party?"
"Of course, we are very concerned about whether you can adapt to life 100 years later," Li Guangya said in a gentle tone. "If you feel uncomfortable, please tell us."
"Of course not. The society a hundred years later is more tolerant than I thought. I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to find a place for myself, but after staying for a while, I found out that I was overthinking. "Lu Zhou smiled and continued," The only discomfort I have is that it is too grand. In fact, there is really no need for this. "
"If we don't do this, we can't show our respect for you, please understand." Li Guangya continued with a smile, "Speaking of which, Academician Lu, do you have any plans for your future life?"
"Future …"
Lu Zhou thought about his long lifespan and spent a little bit of time thinking about this problem.
After pausing for a moment, he said.
"… This question is still too early for me. Before making plans for the future, I plan to try to integrate into the present, then think about what to do in the future."
Li Guangya: "This should be easy for you. I believe that with your wisdom, it won't take long for you to integrate into modern society."
"No matter how easy it is, it takes time, and I don't want to make decisions too hastily." Looking at Chairman Li Guangya, Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "Also, I want to spend more time learning these new things. I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time. "
Ever since his time at Princeton ended, he had been playing the role of a creator of knowledge, not a learner of knowledge.
If there was anything that could make him feel a little happy in this unfamiliar era, it would be the knowledge that he did not understand in the past hundred years that was still waiting for him to uncover.
"Actually, we have a suggestion here. I wonder if you would be willing to consider it."
"What suggestion?"
Chairman Li Guangya said solemnly in a sincere tone.
"If you are willing to accept, we hope that you can serve as the chief scientific consultant of the Pan-Asian Cooperation!"
"Chief scientific advisor?"
When Lu Zhou heard this title, he paused for a second and then said, "Do you think it's appropriate for a 100-year-old antique to take this position?"
"You're too humble!" Chairman Li Guangya continued with a serious expression, "I have consulted my consultant team on this matter. You should be the most suitable person for this position!"
"Let's talk about it after I integrate into this society."
Looking at Chairman Li Guangya's slightly disappointed expression, Lu Zhou sighed and continued, "It's not that I'm stingy with my own knowledge, but I need to recharge my brain more than instructing others. You can think about it from another perspective. If the scholars of this era need the guidance of an antique from 100 years ago, then what have they done in the past 100 years? "
In the end, Lu Zhou still did not agree to accept this position.
Li Guangya fell into deep thought as he watched him leave.
At this moment, the bracelet on his left wrist vibrated slightly.
He lifted his cuff slightly, and a light blue holographic beam was projected in front of him. Secretary-General Wu Shuhua's unsmiling face appeared in front of him, and she went straight to the point.
"What's the result?"
"There was a small deviation, but it's still within an acceptable range."
With a playful smile on her face, Secretary-General Wu Shuhua continued.
"It seems that that person rejected you."
"Yeah …" Li Guangya nodded as if he was talking to himself. He said thoughtfully, "Are people from a hundred years ago so modest? I thought he would be a little more arrogant. "
This was somewhat different from the records in history books.
The more mainstream view given by historians was that Academician Lu was a very confident and even conceited person when he was alive. This conceit stemmed from his achievements in scientific research, and on the other hand, it stemmed from his own youth.
However, when Lu Zhou stood in front of him, Li Guangya realized that there might be a slight discrepancy between historical research and the original appearance of things.
Although those deep eyes made it impossible to see through his true thoughts, one thing was certain: there was not an inch of color in them that belonged to conceit.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"As I said, although there was a small deviation, it's still within an acceptable range."
Standing up from the chair, Li Guangya walked to the window, raised his index finger, and opened the curtains.
The Heart of Asia standing on the coastline was like a burning torch, lighting up his pupils, lighting up the night shrouding the beach, and lighting up the desire of the Pan-Asian people for greatness again.
They had sunk in the trap of prosperity for too long.
From that era, the inheritance left by their fathers' forefathers might not even reach the bottom even if they squandered it until the next century. And the extremely wealthy material and spiritual world would always inadvertently make people lose their desire for progress.
However, he was different.
He was an ambitious person.
Unlike his compatriots who had almost become herbivores, his childhood experience on Mars made him understand that a person without hope was just a walking corpse. The value of a person to society was not even as good as a robot worth 50,000 credits.
Whether it was for the glory of Pan-Asia or to go down in history.
At least during his term as chairman, he wanted to do something great!
Either insert the Pan-Asia flag on the land of Europa 2 and Titan, or open up the steel corridor from the surface to the geosynchronous orbit!
Or, do both at the same time!
First of all, he had to reignite the desire in people's hearts and make them believe without doubt that he was born for this.
In the Confucian cultural circle, this abstract philosophical concept was called "destiny".
Looking at the magnificent Heart of Asia outside the window, as well as the holographic light and shadow dancing on the coastline and the endless lights, he smiled faintly and continued.
"Tonight, there should be many people who can't sleep because of the excitement."
Of course, this included himself …
…
He took the Pan-Asian Cooperation car back to his apartment.
Lu Zhou, who had just returned to the door, opened it before he had time to open it.
"Master, did you have a good time at the party today? (?? ▽?) ノ "
Looking at Xiao Ai jumping in front of him, Lu Zhou, who was in a good mood, smiled and spoke.
"I had a good time, but I'm a little tired."
"Xiao Ai saw it on the holographic TV! Hehe, master is still as handsome as ever. (///ω///) "
Hearing this sentence from Xiao Ai's mouth, Lu Zhou smiled a little embarrassedly.
Although he knew that this was the truth, it was still quite embarrassing for him to say it so directly without going through the normal flow of things.
Xiao Ai keenly captured the change in expression on her master's face, and a happy smile also appeared on her face.
"Hehe, then, is Master in a better mood? (//ω///) "
Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback, then smiled and reached out to touch her head.
"Well, thank you …"
"I'm much better now."
The bathwater was ready.
Sitting in the bathtub and taking a bath, Lu Zhou, who was wearing pajamas, took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, then returned to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
He had already contacted Jin Ling University before. After receiving his call, the other party immediately said that they had prepared preparatory courses and an office for him. If it was convenient, he could go over to attend classes tomorrow.
As for the title of professor, it had not changed in the past century, so naturally, there was no problem of restoring it. As long as he was willing, he could open his own courses at the school at any time and receive his salary according to the current salary standard.
Lu Zhou's idea was actually very simple.
Salary was actually secondary. In contrast, he valued the academic resources of Jin Ling University more.
As the world's top university in this era, not only could he obtain the most cutting-edge information in academia, but he could also easily communicate with the most knowledgeable people in today's world.
This would also help him get in touch with the most cutting-edge research fields of this era and catch up with the footsteps of these younger generations.
Of course, before that, he had one more thing to deal with.
Looking at the documents in the box, Lu Zhou thought for a while. He found the electronic business card of Lawyer Chen and called him.
After the phone rang three times, it was quickly connected.
A familiar half-body figure appeared in the holographic beam in a cubic cone shape.
Looking at the lawyer named Chen Tianlu, Lu Zhou thought about the wording in his mind, then went straight to the point.
"I'm sorry to call you so late. I have something to consult. I don't know if it's convenient for you now?"
"Of course, no problem, it's my honor to serve you!" On the other end of the phone, Lawyer Chen smiled and said eagerly, "Excuse me, what is it?"
"I have some old equity certificates here, such as East Asia Power, East Asia Communications, East Asia Heavy Industries, etc …"
After flipping through the documents in his hand, Lu Zhou looked at Lawyer Chen, who was stunned with his mouth half open and continued.
"I don't know the rules of the game in this world, but it was indeed bought by me, and it was notarized by the Bank of China. I actually don't mean anything else, I just want to ask … how to use these certificates? "
I recommend Naruto's Doujinshi "From This Moment Onwards, Let the World Feel Pain". The perspective is very interesting, and it's a different story from Naruto.
