Because of Kong Jie, Luo Wenxuan liked to go to Lu Zhou's office. He would either come to Lu Zhou's office for a cup of coffee or talk about physics problems that were too difficult for ordinary people to understand.
To be honest, even though Lu Zhou was too lazy to care about who this guy was dating, Lu Zhou couldn't help but worry about this guy's style of leaving after he finished eating. If the two of them were to start a relationship, Luo Wenxuan's personality would cause a lot of trouble …
Speaking of which, Lu Zhou was quite confused. Didn't this guy not use to flirt?
Why did he change his mind this time?
Fortunately, Luo Wenxuan's method of flirting didn't work every time. From what Lu Zhou observed, Assistant Kong wasn't interested in Luo Wenxuan's attention-grabbing behavior at all. She was only doing her own work.
Even though Luo Wenxuan seemed to be depressed, Lu Zhou was relieved.
However, even so, looking at a stallion in heat swaying in front of his eyes for a long time would still make him feel tired.
Finally, on the last day of September, Lu Zhou couldn't take it anymore. He put down the coffee in his hand and sighed.
"Do you know what Edward Witten said about you?"
Luo Wenxuan, who was planning to discuss the electrostrong interaction theory with Lu Zhou, paused for a second and said, "What did he say?"
"What did he say?"
"He said that if you spent half of your energy on women on physics, it would have already become your lover."
There was one more thing that Lu Zhou didn't say.
Witten once thought that Luo Wenxuan was one of the most suitable students to inherit his legacy and carry forward the M theory. Unfortunately, Luo Wenxuan was also the only student that Witten thought highly of, but Luo Wenxuan delayed his graduation for many years …
Of course, it would be too hurtful to say this out loud, so it was better not to tell him.
However …
"… Does Witten have such a high opinion of me?"
Lu Zhou: "…???"
"Is that a high opinion?!"
"Anyway, I'm counting on you! I'm already in my thirties. If I miss this chance, I don't know how long I'll have to wait to find my true love … "
"Think of something like this yourself!"
Han Mengqi, who had been sneaking glances in their direction and couldn't hear what the two were whispering about, tilted her head.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.
Lin Yuxiang, who was sitting at the door, got up and opened the door. Dean Qin, who was holding a vacuum flask, appeared at the door with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Professor Luo is here too. I hope I'm not interrupting your discussion."
"No." Lu Zhou leaned back on the chair and sighed. He said, "This guy has been acting weird recently. I'm trying to talk to him … What's up?"
Dean Qin smiled and said, "I do have something to tell you, it's about the faculty event in October."
Faculty activities?
Lu Zhou was slightly stunned.
"What event?"
"Hiking."
"Hiking?"
"Yeah." Dean Qin nodded and sat down on the sofa. He smiled and said, "This autumn hiking is jointly organized by our mathematics department and the foreign language department. They ask young faculty members under the age of thirty to participate as much as possible. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for teachers from both departments to relax, go outdoors, and get close to nature … Of course, the main point is to give you young people a chance to communicate with each other."
"… So it's a networking event?"
Dean Qin: "You can think of it that way, but the main point is to give everyone a chance to go outside. We'll stay at a hotel on Purple Mountain for one night. I've been to that place twice, and the environment and scenery are great. What do you think? Are you interested? "
Actually, there was one thing he didn't say. For these kinds of activities for young faculty members, especially between departments, more than half of the purpose was to solve the problem of single employees.
After all, the university was a relatively closed circle. Compared to other professions, there weren't many opportunities to interact with the outside world. Especially for some of the more introverted scholars. If it weren't for these activities, they might be single for the rest of their lives.
Not to mention Lu Zhou's marriage …
This was something that the higher-ups in the department personally told them to do …
After hearing Dean Qin's explanation, Lu Zhou looked at him suspiciously. He felt like Dean Qin was hiding something.
Finally, after thinking for a moment, Lu Zhou was too lazy to think about this problem. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm not going, you guys have fun."
Dean Qin guessed that Lu Zhou would say this, and he had a headache as he tried to persuade him.
"You have plenty of time for research, you don't even have one or two days to do it, right? Moreover, communicating with others will also be helpful to your research! "
Lin Yuxiang, who had been listening on the side, walked over with a cup of instant coffee. She nodded and said, "Yeah, yeah, staying at home all the time will get moldy."
Lu Zhou said, "I didn't stay at home."
Dean Qin: "It's the same in the office! Young people should go out more often. "
Lu Zhou went silent for a bit and sighed.
"Okay then … If I'm not busy, I'll go."
He wasn't good at rejecting people.
Especially when it came to matters of principle, it was not a very troublesome request for him.
"Yay!" Lin Yuxiang made a victory gesture and looked at Dean Qin with a smile. "Dean Qin, can assistants sign up too?"
Dean Qin smiled and waved his hand.
"Anyone who wants to go can sign up!"
When Luo Wenxuan heard that anyone who wanted to go could sign up, he poked Lu Zhou's arm and pointed at himself.
Lu Zhou rolled his eyes and cleared his throat.
"Who else wants to go?"
The office went quiet for a while.
Other than Lin Yuxiang, no one else raised their hand.
Indeed …
After all, this was a faculty event. Normal students weren't interested in going. As for the assistant teachers at the bottom of the pyramid, unless they were invited by someone or were good at socializing, most of them weren't interested in going either.
Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan helplessly.
However, at this moment, an unexpected voice came from not far away, only to see a white arm weakly raised up.
"Um … It's me."
Lu Zhou looked at the voice and saw that the person who raised her hand was his student, Han Mengqi.
Lu Zhou looked at her and thought for a bit. He then asked in an uncertain tone.
"You want to go too?"
Han Mengqi blushed and quickly nodded.
"Yeah!"
Lin Yuxiang looked at Han Mengqi's blushing face and blinked. She put her finger on her lips and pretended to be innocent as she said, "But … you're not a faculty member, right?"
"Uh …"
Compared to Lin Yuxiang, Han Mengqi's cultivation was still too shallow. Although she immediately wanted to refute, she couldn't speak for a long time.
Fortunately, Dean Qin waved his hand and said, "It's fine, graduate students can also participate. You're all young people, it's healthier to go out than to stay in the office all day!"
Hearing this, Lin Yuxiang's expression was slightly disappointed, but Han Mengqi was relieved.
She didn't want to go …
She just didn't want Lin Yuxiang to be next to Lu Zhou.
After all, he was her future brother-in-law!
Han Mengqi gritted her teeth and picked up a pen. She then wrote her name on the application form that Dean Qin handed to her.
On the other hand, Luo Wenxuan, who was standing next to Lu Zhou's desk, had a lifeless expression on his face.
Although Assistant Kong still didn't show the slightest interest in this activity, he still signed his name on the registration form.
"Just think of it as going out to relax."
Luo Wenxuan sighed and handed the application form to Lu Zhou. He then waved his hand and left.
