The golden October was the most beautiful season in Jinling.
It was like yesterday when the hot summer sun swayed through the leaves on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the autumn leaves all over the mountains were covered in a layer of golden yellow. Stepping on the golden ginkgo leaves, a young team walked on the asphalt road in the mountains, talking and laughing. They looked no different from other tourists passing by.
"I'm so tired."
"Who told you to wear high heels?"
"I thought the minibus would drive directly to the hotel entrance, I didn't expect to walk there … Ouch, it hurts."
"Look, there are a lot of handsome guys in the mathematics department."
"Wow, look, look, Professor Lu is here too …"
"…"
Lu Zhou didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt like someone was looking at him from behind.
And it wasn't just one person.
Wang Peng was walking next to Lu Zhou, and his eyes wandered back and forth on both sides of the road.
"I've been in Jinling for almost two years, but this is my first time here."
Luo Wenxuan said lazily, "Forget about two years, I've been here for four years for my undergraduate and two years for my master's. I've never been here before."
"Two years for your master's?" Wang Peng looked at him with surprise.
"Yeah, I got an offer from Princeton the second year, so I went straight there."
This was the only thing that Luo Wenxuan was proud of.
Even at Jin Ling University, being able to get a PhD offer from Princeton, especially from the famous Edward Witten, was like a god to an ordinary genius.
Sure enough, Lin Yuxiang, who was walking next to him, clapped her hands exaggeratedly.
"Amazing."
Luo Wenxuan was full of himself.
"Haha, of course."
Lu Zhou didn't want to say anything, but he couldn't help but say, "And you took six years to graduate?"
Luo Wenxuan coughed.
"That's because Mr. Witten loves talent … Can we not talk about this?"
Han Mengqi, who was walking not far away, couldn't help but laugh. The mathematics department professors nearby also smiled.
The atmosphere was filled with a happy atmosphere. Luo Wenxuan quickly changed the topic. He began to talk about his experience at CERN and his internship at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Lu Zhou had to admit that this guy had a lot of experience. Lu Zhou had always wanted to go to the Brookhaven National Laboratory, but the closest he got was talking to Professor Wilczek about the 750 GeV energy zone signal in the coffee shop.
After walking for about five or six kilometers, he stopped at a pavilion in the mountains to rest his feet. After walking for a while, he finally arrived at his destination.
The name of the hotel at the destination was very simple. It was named Purple Mountain, and the decoration was very grand. It was said that there was a hot spring, but it was unknown whether it was artificial or natural.
After the mathematics department team arrived at the hotel, they went through the check-in procedures. Not long after, the foreign language department team also followed.
Lu Zhou, who had a room card, stood in the lobby and looked around. Generally speaking, the foreign language department team was similar to the mathematics department team. Other than some old professors who were still in good health, most of the people in the team were young people. The only difference was that the gender ratio was reversed, and the average age was obviously younger. There were even three to five young, beautiful, tall, and handsome foreign teachers.
Actually, with so many people, Lu Zhou didn't really want to go. However, Dean Qin's invitation was too hard for him to refuse.
Not to mention that the materials needed for the bid were basically completed. The controllable fusion battery improvement was also in the final stage. His work wasn't as busy as before, so it was time for him to take a good rest.
Last night, when he called Chen Yushan, she also said the same thing.
I'll just treat it as relaxing.
Lu Zhou picked up his travel bag and was about to go upstairs to change his luggage.
Coincidentally, the hotel manager walked around the corridor next to the hotel. He smiled at the faculty members standing in the lobby and warmly welcomed them.
"You are all teachers from Jin Ling University, right? Welcome, welcome."
It seemed like Dean Qin knew this boss. He walked up and shook his hand as he spoke with a smile.
"Manager Song, you're too kind."
"There's no need to be so polite. It's our humble store's honor to be able to welcome so many scholars here."
Dean Qin smiled and said, "Your hotel isn't small at all."
Manager Song smiled and didn't say anything. His eyes fell on Lu Zhou, who was next to Dean Qin, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"You're … Professor Lu?"
Lu Zhou was quite surprised to be called like this. Even though he had been on the news several times, he had never been recognized on the street.
"Yes, hello."
Lu Zhou smiled politely and responded briefly.
"Nice to meet you." Manager Song shook Lu Zhou's hand and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be here."
"You know me."
"Of course, my daughter admires you a lot. She even told me that she pays attention to your Weibo. She's always scrambling to find out what you're talking about. She's more anxious than eating."
"Dad." A young girl hiding behind Manager Song pulled her father's arm with a blush. "Stop it."
Lu Zhou didn't expect to meet his fans here, so he smiled in embarrassment.
Sigh, maybe this is the trouble of being famous.
"How old is the little girl?"
The little girl blushed and said, "Second grade."
He's only in the second year of middle school and he's already addicted to Weibo?
That wouldn't do.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou gave a serious reminder.
"Don't use Weibo in the second year of middle school. Focus on your studies and try to get into a good high school."
"Yes."
The little girl nodded in embarrassment.
Seeing that she seemed to listen to what he said, Lu Zhou smiled and continued to ask.
"By the way, what did you leave on my Weibo?"
The little girl hemmed and hawed for a long time without saying anything.
Manager Song smiled and patted his daughter's arm.
"Tell me, Dad is also quite curious. You hold your phone all day and don't let me look at it."
With so many people looking at her curiously, the little girl hesitated for a long time. She glanced at Lu Zhou and finally whispered.
"Bah …"
"I saw that they were all farming, so I followed suit. Of course, of course, you're quite handsome … "
The lobby was silent for a moment.
Luo Wenxuan was the first to react, and he burst out laughing. Han Mengqi covered her mouth with her hands and turned around. Her shoulders were shaking. She was clearly laughing, but she didn't show it. It looked like she was having a hard time holding it in.
As for Lu Zhou, he had a dumbfounded expression on his face.
Pooh!
What the hell was that?
Manager Song, who had been in a daze for a long time, finally came back to her senses and hurriedly pulled her daughter.
"How could you say that, child!"
"Didn't you tell me to say it?" His daughter looked at her father with a wronged expression. Although she didn't say anything, it was clear what she wanted to say.
Seeing that Manager Song was about to scold his daughter, Dean Qin coughed and said, "Child's words, child's words, I'm sure Professor Lu won't take it to heart."
Lu Zhou: "…"
What happened in the lobby was only a small incident. Lu Zhou obviously did not take the words of a little girl to heart.
After all, he was very confident in his looks.
However, even though he did not take it to heart, Manager Song still seemed to feel bad.
Because of this, there were a few more baskets of steamed red crabs with brown sugar on the teachers' dining tables during lunch. The delicious taste made people unable to stop eating. Even though Lu Zhou did not like seafood, he still ate a few bundles.
After spitting out a crab leg, Old Tang took a sip of the yellow wine and sighed with emotion, "This thing is really good to go with wine."
"Haha, organize another one in spring?"
"Purple Mountain again? Aren't you tired of it? "
"Okay, next spring, I'll apply to the organization to organize another one in Beidaihe next time."
"You really know how to pick a day, go to Beidaihe in spring."
Listening to the old professors from the mathematics department talking, Lu Zhou had already eaten seven or eight crabs. The brown sugar juice was smeared on his mouth. When he was about seventy to eighty percent full, he suddenly thought of something and asked.
He asked, "Oh yeah, what's the activity in the afternoon?"
Professor Tang, who was filling his glass, said, "I heard it's mountain climbing."
Mountain climbing …
It sounded very boring.
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and asked in a serious manner, "… Can I not go?"
Professor Tang smiled and said, "You can, but the barbecue is at the top of the mountain. Let me tell you, Old Lu went to the suburban fishery and caught a few buckets of fish. He kept them in the staff dormitory for half a week, waiting for this opportunity to show off. If I miss this opportunity, it would be a big loss! "
When Lu Zhou heard that there was grilled fish at night, he hesitated for a bit.
Even though he was not interested in mountain climbing, he was quite interested in eating.
Especially when it came to grilled fish …
"Then … I'll go."
