From the girl's reaction, Lu Zhou could roughly guess what happened.
Sighing softly, he cut off a piece of grilled rib and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Poor kid …"
This world was never peaceful.
It was just because he happened to be born in a peaceful country.
Lu Zhou tried his best to stuff the food on the plate into his mouth. As for the food that he could not eat, he had no choice but to give up.
He looked at the remaining half of the ribs and sighed in his heart.
If I knew that this thing was this big, I would have asked Luo Wenxuan to eat with me.
As for the taste …
It was actually pretty good.
After Lu Zhou left the rib shop, he quickly put the incident aside.
He went back to the hotel and began to organize his notes.
However, Lu Zhou's phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and Old Tang's voice immediately came from the other end. Old Tang threw two questions at him.
"When do you plan on returning to China? Are you coming back to Jin Ling University before Chinese New Year? "
When Lu Zhou heard these two questions, he paused for a second and quickly understood why Old Tang asked this question. He coughed and said, "It's almost New Year's Day, I plan on going home."
Old Tang was not surprised by Lu Zhou's answer. He smiled and said, "You're not coming back? We're still waiting to give you an award. "
Lu Zhou, "Award?"
Old Tang smiled and said, "Aren't you a master's student now? You can still be nominated for this year's Person of the Year award. You don't have to write anything like last year, you can just go on stage and receive the award. "
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "This … I'll give it to someone else. I've already won it once! I won't compete with the other students! "
The Jin Ling University's Person of the Year award and the special scholarship were very valuable in China.
With this, as long as they had the right profession, they would not have to worry about finding a job. Every company would fight for this.
He had even won an international award like the Cole Prize, so he was not as interested in the Person of the Year award as he was last year.
Old Tang, "You really don't want it?"
Lu Zhou: "No need!"
Old Tang smiled and didn't insist. He said, "Okay then … You're about to graduate, and I feel bad for the school for giving you a million yuan as a bonus! If you don't want it, then don't. I support you. "
"Pu!"
Lu Zhou, who was drinking water, almost spat it out.
He patted his chest and coughed a few times, then hurriedly asked, "How much?"
Old Tang smiled and said, "What do you mean how much? You're not coming, so why are you asking about the scholarship? "
Lu Zhou asked, "Isn't the special scholarship only about 10,000 yuan? What's with this one million? "
"Other people's scholarships are ten thousand yuan, yours is one million yuan," Old Tang said with a smile. "This is a decision made by the school, and I heard it from Dean Qin."
Lu Zhou: "…"
When Lu Zhou didn't speak for a long time, Old Tang laughed and put down the thermos flask in his hand.
He paused for a second and sighed. He then said, "You're changing too fast, but there's one thing that hasn't changed, and that is, you love money too much! Loving money isn't a bad thing. Without money, you can't do scientific research, and you can't get a wife … But you have to remember, when it comes to money, you have to have a balance in your heart. Otherwise, you'll suffer a lot sooner or later. "
"I understand, teacher!" Lu Zhou said in a serious tone, "The academic conference ends on the 23rd, but if the organization needs me, I'll fly back immediately!"
"You kid …" Old Tang smiled and shook his head. He then said, "It's fine, just finish the conference. It's fine to delay the Person of the Year award for a few days. It's all before New Year's, so Principal Xu and I will be fine. "
Lu Zhou smiled awkwardly and said, "Then teacher, do you still have a million yuan?"
"Yes!"
The situation was different from last year.
Before Lu Zhou won the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize and the Cole Prize, he won the Jin Ling University Special Prize. However, now that Lu Zhou was internationally famous, if he won this award, he would be giving the Jin Ling University special prize and the Jin Ling University emblem!
It was just like how Einstein winning the Nobel Prize was not Einstein's honor, but the Nobel Prize's honor.
A university level honor was not important to Lu Zhou. Therefore, in order to invite Lu Zhou back to receive the award, the school increased the amount of the scholarship "a little bit".
In fact, delaying the award ceremony by two days to accommodate his schedule wouldn't be a problem at all.
…
Lu Zhou had been in California for a week. Two days before Christmas, the academic conference finally came to an end.
As usual, this academic conference also gave out the Best Young Speaker Award.
The winner was a French professor in his thirties. The content of the report was a breakthrough in the field of partial differential equations.
Because of the time conflict, Lu Zhou regrettably missed this report. However, from the downloaded thesis, the level of this speaker was indeed worthy of this award.
In addition to this, there was also a Best Speaker Award for all speakers.
Without any suspense, this award was presented to Professor Helfgott.
His research in the field of Goldbach's conjecture and his proof of conjecture B would be one of the most eye-catching research results in the number theory community this year.
If it wasn't for the fact that this old man had already won the Cole Prize, Lu Zhou might not have won this year.
Although the "Best Presenter Award" wasn't essential to the old man, it still showed that his peers recognized his research results, so he gladly accepted it.
Not to mention, a US $20,000 prize was not a small amount compared to his salary.
After attending the closing ceremony, Lu Zhou bought a ticket back to China.
Originally, he planned on landing in Shanghai and then flying straight to Jiangcheng.
However, his alma mater invited him back to receive the award. It was difficult for him to refuse, so he agreed.
While he was using his knowledge of geometry to stuff everything into his suitcase, he suddenly received a WeChat call from Xiao Tong.
Lu Zhou picked up the call and placed his phone on the bedside table.
In the video, Xiao Tong, who was wearing pajamas, laid on the bed and kicked her legs. She yawned and lazily asked.
"Brother, when are you coming back?"
It was night time in China, so it seemed like Xiao Tong had just fallen asleep.
Lu Zhou stuffed the chocolates he brought for his sister into his suitcase.
"I'll be back before New Year's Day, why?"
Xiao Tong rolled her eyes and said, "I have two pieces of good news, which one do you want to hear?"
"First in class on the monthly test?"
Xiao Tong's eyes widened in surprise. "Brother, you're … amazing!"
No wonder she's my sister, she's half as talented as me.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Other than the monthly test, what other good news could you have? Tell me, what's the other good news? "
Xiao Tong giggled and said, "Old Ma asked me to ask you, do you want to go back to your alma mater to give a speech?"
Lu Zhou was speechless. "What kind of good news is that?"
Xiao Tong: "Of course it's good news! Brother, do you want to go? "
Lu Zhou was too lazy to go, but he still asked.
"You want me to go?"
Xiao Tong's eyes lit up. "Yes!"
Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh. He smiled and said, "Then go."
Xiao Tong cheered and hugged her pillow as she said, "Yay! Brother, you're the best! "
Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.
This little guy, he did have some skill in being smart, but he liked to show off a little.
