After a long wait, Lu Zhou finally received a reply from Nature.
[Dear Professor Lu Zhou, we are surprised and excited by your research results. There is no doubt that this is a great invention. Your thesis will be published in the next edition of Nature Chemistry …]
When Lu Zhou saw the email on his screen, he couldn't help but smirk.
I've been waiting for this day.
Once the thesis is officially published, the reward mission will be completed.
He was looking forward to how much experience points he would get.
Also, it wasn't just about experience points, there would be a lot of people interested in his patent.
On the afternoon of the day he received the email, Lu Zhou drove his Ford Explorer SUV to the Philadelphia airport.
When he parked the car and walked to the airport entrance, he saw a little girl wearing a cap and dragging a suitcase. She was looking around.
Lu Zhou recognized Xiao Tong and walked up to her. He patted her on the shoulder from behind.
"Hey."
"Ah!"
Xiao Tong was like a frightened rabbit when she was suddenly patted on the shoulder.
She turned around and saw that it was Lu Zhou. She sighed in relief and glared at her brother.
"Do you know, you almost gave your cutest sister a heart attack!"
Lu Zhou only wanted to give her a surprise, but he almost choked on his own words.
Wow, this little girl is still as proud as ever.
He didn't know if she would be able to smoothly integrate into campus life after going to university …
After picking up Xiao Tong, Lu Zhou didn't stay at the airport entrance for long. He took her directly to the parking lot. He was about to introduce his beloved car to his sister when Xiao Tong suddenly stretched out her neck and looked around.
Lu Zhou was curious about what she was looking for, so he asked, "What are you looking for?"
Xiao Tong didn't seem to find what she was looking for, so she pouted her mouth.
"Brother, why did you come to pick me up alone?"
Lu Zhou: "…?"
Isn't he going to arrange a guard of honor?
In the end, Lu Zhou couldn't figure out what the little fellow was looking for.
After unlocking the car door, Xiaotong climbed into the car one step ahead of Lu Zhou. She quickly occupied the back seat where she didn't have to wear a seatbelt. She curiously looked around the car.
Looking at her brother sitting in the driver's seat, she suddenly spoke.
"Bro, are we going straight to Princeton?"
"There's nothing fun in Princeton. Let me show you around Philadelphia." After starting the car, Lu Zhou did not go on the road immediately. Instead, he took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Yushan. The past.
"Eh …" Xiao Tong, who was sitting in the back, said, "But I want to go to Princeton."
Lu Zhou said, "What's so fun about that place?"
"It's not just for fun. Before Dad and Mom left, they specifically told me to check if you're taking good care of yourself." Xiao Tong moved closer to the front seat and smirked. "Also, did you find me a beautiful sister-in-law? I have to check this carefully."
What the hell.
So she's a spy sent by my mom.
Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head. He felt warm in his heart.
Although he was in a foreign country, he felt less lonely when he thought about the people who were thousands of miles away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
"I take good care of myself. As for a girlfriend … Tell them not to worry."
Xiao Tong proudly said, "Hmph, you don't have to say anything. I'm the prosecutor."
"Yes, yes, Miss Prosecutor, please don't do anything," said Lu Zhou as he held back his laughter. He put away his phone and stepped on the gas pedal.
He was not familiar with Philadelphia. Although it was next to Princeton, he had only been here a handful of times.
Fortunately, he had friends studying here. If he was not too busy, he could take them around Philadelphia.
However, it seemed like he owed Chen Yushan a favor.
…
The airport was not far from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Lu Zhou stopped the car at a nearby cafe and saw Chen Yushan waving at him.
However, to Lu Zhou's surprise, Chen Yushan wasn't the only one here. There was also someone else.
Han Mengqi was wearing a cool red and black checkered summer dress with two slender ponytails hanging behind her shoulders. She was leaning against Chen Yushan listlessly. If it wasn't for the sharp contrast between her depressed expression and the one next to her, the two really looked like a pair of sisters.
Speaking of which, ever since Lu Zhou went to CERN to participate in the European Nuclear Research Summit, he had not seen his little apprentice in real life. He did not expect to meet her on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
Because he was not sure, Lu Zhou tried to call her name.
"Han Mengqi?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Han Mengqi, who was listless because her sister chased her out of the house, raised her head.
Then, she was stunned.
"Teacher?!"
Looking at the familiar face, Han Mengqi's eyes widened in disbelief.
Her sister only said that she was going to meet a friend, but she did not tell her who it was.
She did not expect that friend to be Lu Zhou!
Suddenly, she remembered that when she went out, she seemed to have put on some clothes. Forget about dressing up, she did not even take care of her hair. Her cheeks could not help but turn slightly red.
However, at this moment, she suddenly noticed that there was a girl standing next to Lu Zhou, who was about the same age as her. The girl was looking at her with a curious gaze.
Han Mengqi, who was a little panicked, suddenly calmed down. She hid behind her cousin and looked at Xiao Tong with a slightly more vigilant gaze.
Xiao Tong:???
Lu Zhou did not notice the change in Han Mengqi's mind. He greeted Chen Yushan and said with a smile, "Long time no see … I don't even know when you came to Philadelphia."
It had been a year, but she did not grow at all.
It was obvious that she didn't listen to his words of "eat your meal".
Han Mengqi lowered her head and did not speak. This made Lu Zhou feel slightly awkward.
Chen Yushan, who was standing next to her, sighed and gently patted her sister's shoulder. She then explained the reason.
"My cute cousin is in a bad mood, so she came to my place to relax."
Han Mengqi pursed her lips and lowered her head. She then spoke in a low voice.
"Teacher, I'm sorry for your training."
This was the second time Lu Zhou almost choked today.
As for Xiao Tong, who was standing next to him, it was as if she had discovered some big news. She looked at her brother excitedly and asked, "Teacher? What's going on? "
Lu Zhou knew what this little girl was thinking. He reached out and knocked her on the forehead.
"What the heck! Didn't I tell you before that I was a tutor in my second year? What are you making a fuss about? "
Xiao Tong screamed exaggeratedly as she covered her forehead. Her bright eyes were rolling around in her eye sockets. Lu Zhou did not know what she was thinking.
Han Mengqi looked at Lu Zhou and Xiao Tong with some confusion. She felt like the relationship between the two was not what she had imagined.
While she was puzzled, Lu Zhou looked at her. He paused for a moment and continued to speak.
"… I understand how you feel right now, but I hope you won't be discouraged. You've done very well. When I first started teaching you, you couldn't even solve basic elliptic equations. Later on, you scored 130 on every monthly test. I'm sure you can see the improvement. If you didn't get in … "
Han Mengqi smiled reluctantly and shook her head. "I got in. But there are too many people applying for the mathematics department this year. I don't have enough points … "
F * ck me, is the mathematics department at the University of Jin Ling really a popular major?
When Lu Zhou heard that Han Mengqi didn't get in mathematics, he was suddenly surprised.
The mathematics department at the University of Jin Ling is in trouble?
When Dean Qin told him about this, he used a joking tone. Lu Zhou did not take it to heart. He did not expect Dean Qin to be serious.
It seemed that he had underestimated the power of Goldbach's conjecture and the "Junior Nobel Prize". With the help of the propaganda machine, it created a chain reaction.
Honestly, Yan University, Aurora University, Shan University, and Shuimu University were all good at mathematics. The University of Jin Ling did not have much of an advantage in the field of mathematics. They were mainly good at physics. However, a lot of undergraduates did not know about mathematics, let alone new graduates.
I feel like I'm screwing a lot of people over …
However, this was obviously not the time to complain.
Lu Zhou immediately asked.
"Which class did you get transferred to?"
Han Mengqi looked like she was about to cry.
