Lu Zhou shook his head and announced the end of the lecture.
Then, he turned around and left the lecture hall.
However, not long after Lu Zhou left the lecture hall, a voice came from behind him.
"Please wait, Professor Lu!"
When Lu Zhou heard the familiar voice, he stopped and turned around. He saw a pretty girl running out of the lecture hall.
Looking at the girl chasing after him, he asked, "You are?"
After taking a few breaths, the girl stretched out her index finger and combed her messy bangs, revealing a bright smile.
"My name is Hu Ying … I'm a sophomore at Humboldt University!"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Hello, Hu Ying, what can I do for you?"
"Something," said Hu Ying. She didn't go straight to the point. Instead, she said with a smile, "Um … Professor Lu is too hard to pronounce. Can I call you God Lu?"
Hard to pronounce?
Lu Zhou repeated it a few times in his mind and it felt smooth.
However, he didn't really care what other people called him.
A name was just a symbol. The three animals in Dormitory 201 had been called Zhou Zi, Lu Zi, and Lu Zi for so many years. Didn't they get used to it?
Therefore, Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, I'm fine with it."
Hu Ying pursed her lips into a smile and said playfully, "God Lu, since I call you God Lu, can you tell me how to be as good as you?"
So it's about studying.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "What's your major?"
Hu Ying immediately said, "Applied mathematics and international trade!"
Double major?
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows.
He didn't know much about international trade, but applied mathematics was his specialty.
"Do you have a pen and paper?"
Is she going to give me her phone number?
"Yes, yes, yes." Hu Ying's eyes suddenly lit up. She immediately took out a small notebook and a ballpoint pen from her bag and handed them over. She then said with a smile, "Thank you, God Lu!"
"I can't really teach you anything, but I can teach you some applied mathematics."
Taking the pen and paper from her hand, Lu Zhou didn't waste any time and started writing on the manuscript.
Time ticked by.
Seeing that Lu Zhou had turned a page, Hu Ying's eyes were a little suspicious.
Just as she was wondering what kind of social media account it was, Lu Zhou stopped writing and returned the notebook to her.
"This is a list of books. I read these books in the library of Humboldt University when I was bored. They are quite helpful for applied mathematics."
Hu Ying:???
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Lu Zhou thought that she was lost in thought and nodded in satisfaction.
"You'll have to figure out the rest yourself. Other than hard work, there's nothing else.
"This is all I can help you with."
After saying that, he did not say anything else. He turned around and walked away, leaving Hu Ying, who had not said a word, behind.
When Lu Zhou walked to the school gate, he went into the supermarket and bought some paper and envelopes.
In order to prevent himself from forgetting things, he decided to write the letter that he promised Principal Xu during his free time in the afternoon.
After he bought the items, he walked out of the supermarket with the plastic bags. Just as Lu Zhou was about to go back to the hotel, he suddenly saw the girl that stopped him.
"Wait, wait a second …"
Lu Zhou stopped walking and looked at Hu Ying, who was panting with her hands on her knees. He paused for a second.
"Is there anything else?"
"There's something else, I forgot to give you."
"… What is it?"
"A letter!"
Hu Ying took out a letter from her bag and angrily stuffed it into Lu Zhou's hands.
Lu Zhou took the letter and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
I feel like …
There's a bit of resentment in her eyes?
But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything to do with it. Therefore, he put this matter aside.
Lu Zhou flipped the envelope to the front and glanced at it.
When he saw the address of the letter, he couldn't help but pause for a second.
Embassy in Germany?
Lu Zhou opened the letter and read the first line.
[… Dear Professor Lu Zhou, hello, I am the Ambassador to Germany, Hu Mingde. On behalf of the Embassy in Germany and all the diplomatic staff in Germany, I would like to congratulate you on your outstanding achievements in the Hoffman Medal …
Lu Zhou skipped the diplomatic part and went straight to the last line.
[… My wife and I are very interested in your achievements. We also admire your achievements in the fields of mathematics, theoretical physics, and chemistry. I wonder if I can have dinner with you?]
[— Ambassador Hu Mingde]
Lu Zhou closed the letter and looked at Hu Ying suspiciously.
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with the letter. No one would joke about something that could be easily exposed.
However, he still didn't understand.
Why would this letter written by the ambassador be in the hands of a student like her?
Lu Zhou didn't hide this question in his heart, so he asked it directly.
After asking, Lu Zhou found out that Miss Hu wasn't just a student at Humboldt University.
In addition to working as an office assistant in the embassy, she was also the president of the Chinese student union at Humboldt University and the general director of the student union in Berlin …
Of course, these weren't important.
The most important thing was that her father was a diplomat …
…
In any case, since the ambassador invited him, he had to give him face.
Lu Zhou left the invitation letter and asked Miss Hu, who still had a bit of resentment in her eyes, to tell the ambassador that he was willing to go and set the dinner time for tonight.
He had other plans tomorrow, so he might not be in Berlin for a while. It was better to take care of these things as soon as possible.
When Lu Zhou returned to the hotel, he temporarily put the invitation letter aside. He took out the letter and envelope he just bought from the supermarket and sat in front of the table. He began to write the letter that Principal Xu asked him to write.
When he first agreed to this matter, he didn't think that this letter was difficult to write. However, when he actually started writing, he began to have some difficulties.
Come to think of it, when he was studying for his undergraduate degree, his political knowledge had always wandered around the passing line. He had never seen a written letter to the relevant departments before.
He tried to write a few lines, but he found that the more he wrote, the more he wrote, the more it turned into an essay.
Lu Zhou shook his head and leaned back in his chair.
"If I knew it would be so troublesome, I would've just signed on the paper and mailed it to Principal Xu."
This was a good idea, but he definitely couldn't do that.
After all, as a scholar with integrity, he had to be responsible for every word he said.
After trying a few times, Lu Zhou finally decided to give up on this lousy imitation. He crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can. He then took out a brand new piece of paper.
As a scholar, he had to be more realistic and say what he wanted to say.
He thought about it again and wrote a new line on the paper.
