On New Year's Eve, Lu Zhou leaned on the sofa in his living room. He looked at his contacts list and sent New Year's greetings to everyone he knew.
He called the people he was close with, and he texted the people he wasn't close with. Regardless of whether or not there were people watching, the necessary favors were still needed. Moreover, this wasn't something that would take too much effort.
Xiao Tong's voice came from the side.
"Bro, will you call Chen Yushan?"
Lu Zhou pressed the call button and said, "It's fine if it's me, I'm too lazy to change it, but why are you calling me Chen Yushan?"
"We're both in business school, there's nothing wrong with me calling her Chen Yushan, right?" Xiao Tong, who was lying on the sofa, tilted his head and looked at Lu Zhou strangely. He said, "Bro, you graduated from the mathematics department, right?"
Emm …
Now that he put it that way, it didn't seem to be wrong?
Lu Zhou: "…"
Seeing how Lu Zhou didn't speak, Xiao Tong hugged a pillow and sat up from the sofa. He looked like he was listening to a story.
"Bro, speaking of which, how did you guys meet?"
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "It's not as complicated as you think. We met in the library, and then we became friends."
Xiao Tong hugged the pillow and said, "Normal? But I feel like you guys hit it off? Also, Chen Yushan's breasts are really big, even as a girl, I think they're very attractive. "
Lu Zhou: "…"
They could have just been chatting, but why did the topic turn to her breasts?
Also, what does this have to do with breasts?
Seeing how Lu Zhou didn't speak, Xiao Tong suddenly had an exaggerated expression on his face. He then covered his mouth and looked at Lu Zhou. "Eh? Do you like small ones? "
Lu Zhou: "F * ck off!"
Lu Zhou sent a text message and was about to start writing the next one. However, he happened to see a name in his contacts list.
He hesitated for a bit and finally made a call.
Using a text message was too perfunctory.
The phone only rang once before it was quickly picked up.
Before Lu Zhou could react, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Junior ~ I'm so happy! You actually called me. "
Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said, "You don't have to be so exaggerated. I'm just here to wish you a happy new year … Well, happy new year!"
Chen Yushan smiled happily. "Happy New Year! I was just about to call you. "
From afar, her father's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Shanshan, who's calling?"
"Lu Zhou's!"
"Oh." Chen Baohua didn't say anything else after that.
Hearing Uncle Chen's voice, Lu Zhou asked, "How is Uncle Chen?"
Chen Yushan happily said, "He's in good health. Right, I heard from Meng Qi that you've returned to Jinling? Do you plan on working here in the future? "
Lu Zhou: "Yeah, I plan on coming back here this year. I might go back to Princeton after a while, but I'll finish up some unfinished work. After that, my focus will be here in Jinling. Speaking of which, you're about to graduate, right? "
Chen Yushan smiled and said, "Yeah, I've already submitted my graduation thesis. I'll be free soon."
When Lu Zhou heard that, he couldn't help but smile. He was sincerely happy for her.
He heard that her supervisor wasn't a very easy person to get along with. Being able to graduate smoothly was a good thing.
"What do you plan on doing after graduation? Are you going to continue your PhD? "
"I don't want to study anymore. If I study anymore, I'll become a female PhD." Chen Yushan joked playfully. She continued while holding the phone, "Not to mention, our major is more focused on resume than education. I plan to find an internship in a company after I graduate and work for two years."
Lu Zhou: "Have you thought about where you're going to intern?"
Chen Yushan sighed and said, "Not yet, but I've received offers from a few companies. I just haven't thought about where yet."
Suddenly, Lu Zhou's heart thumped.
"Are you interested in a patent management company?"
"Patent management company? I think I've done cases like this before, are you interested … I guess. What's up, Lu Zhou? Do you have any good places to recommend to me? "
"Actually, I opened a patent management company. If you don't mind, do you want to work for me?"
"Not bad, Lu Zhou, you already have a company." Chen Yushan was a little surprised. She then said in a joking tone, "Can you tell me the name of the company? I'll do some research first. "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Go ahead, it's called Star Sky Technology, registered in the Cayman Islands."
Chen Yushan paused for a second.
What surprised her wasn't that the company was registered in the Cayman Islands.
Rather …
"Star Sky Technology is owned by you?!"
Lu Zhou paused for a second and said, "Is there a problem?"
If he remembered correctly, Star Sky Technology wasn't a very famous company.
After all, there was no need for a company that specialized in intellectual property management. Most people wouldn't deliberately learn about the research results of the lithium batteries in their phones or electric cars.
However, for Chen Yushan, this name left a deep impression on her.
That was an unforgettable night.
No, more precisely, not just one, but countless.
In order to complete the company's organizational structure plan and personnel training plan within the allotted time, she, who was ordered around by her tutor as free labor, stayed up all night for half a month. She didn't know how much effort she had put in to complete the final product …
When she heard this name, she couldn't help but clench her teeth.
Chen Yushan didn't speak for a long time. Lu Zhou thought that she didn't like his small company, so he hesitated for a second.
"Are you coming?"
If she didn't want to come, then forget it. His small company wasn't very busy anyway.
Chen Yushan said without hesitation, "I'm coming!"
…
New Year's Day was the time to visit relatives.
However, the Lu family didn't have many relatives in Jinling, not even distant relatives. Therefore, this year was relatively quiet.
In addition to friends in China, Lu Zhou also received many New Year's greetings from international friends.
Among them were Professor Fefferman, his supervisor Deligné, and several of his students.
In addition to Vera's New Year's greeting card, the most unique one was probably an email from the Pablo Jarillo-Herrero Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
At the end of the Happy New Year, Professor Herrero used a few paragraphs to describe a very interesting problem he encountered in his research.
Lu Zhou even suspected that the latter part of the email was the real purpose of the letter.
[… When we were studying the bandgap width of the superlattice near a specific angle of the SG-1 material, we discovered something very interesting. The existing BCS theory doesn't seem to be applicable to carbon-based superconducting materials.
[I tried to explain this physical phenomenon by solving the many-body electroacoustic wave function. However, when I was solving the function, the trouble I encountered was beyond my ability.
[But I can say with certainty that if we can solve this problem, it will help us reveal the physical mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.
[I have attached the relevant experimental data in a limited attachment. I might put this project aside for the time being, but maybe it will arouse your interest.]
When Lu Zhou read this email, he raised his eyebrows and had a look of interest on his face.
It had been more than 30 years since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors in 1986. Although a large number of outstanding theoretical physicists around the world had made great efforts, the physical mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity had still not been solved.
The reason was often attributed to the difficulty of solving the many-body wave function in the strong correlation model. Therefore, there was no way to solve this problem.
This was a very interesting phenomenon. It seemed that whether it was physics or chemistry, most of the "deep water" problems were related to calculations.
Lu Zhou's index finger tapped on the keyboard. After thinking for a bit, he replied to the email.
