The last Friday in February.
Lu Zhou, who was carrying a backpack, embarked on a new journey.
This time, he was going to Shanghai.
According to Director Li, at the beginning of last year, the relevant departments had already held a tender for the ILHCRC headquarters building project. The name ILHCRC had already been decided since then.
In the middle of last year, the project officially began. The main building, including the main office building, had been completed and handed over to the ILHCRC.
In fact, the Communist Party of China had a backup plan. If the ILHCRC's international cooperation plan couldn't be negotiated, then they would remove the letter "I", which represented international, and use it as the "MHCRC" headquarters building.
Fortunately, with the success of the controllable nuclear fusion negotiations and the safe return of the Mars rescue team, China's international prestige and image as an aerospace power had been greatly improved. There was almost no resistance, and the entire project was negotiated.
Now that the ILHCRC was established, the first phase of the headquarters project was also completed. The various departments were already moving in, so everyone was happy.
As the appointed chairman of the China side, Lu Zhou's trip to Shanghai was to attend the unveiling ceremony of the headquarters, and it was also to organize the headquarters.
After all, physics societies and research institutions from all over the world had sent people over, so they couldn't just sit around and do nothing, right?
Even though the collider was still in the construction stage, they still had to arrange the work of the various departments, and they also had to formulate a constitution.
Lu Zhou had already presided over many large-scale scientific research projects, so he had no problem dealing with this kind of situation. However, just to be safe, he still called Luo Wenxuan along.
Because he often went to CERN with Witten, this guy was quite familiar with CERN's operating model. If there was anything that Lu Zhou didn't consider, Witten would be able to help him avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Most importantly, Lu Zhou still lacked a successor.
He didn't want to be the ILHCRC's chairman for three consecutive terms.
As such, he could only sacrifice Senior Brother Luo …
Lu Zhou got on the bus and handed his luggage to Wang Peng. He sat in the business class seat and adjusted his seat to a comfortable angle. He took out his laptop from his backpack and began to edit the PowerPoint he had just finished last night.
This included the specific responsibilities of the ILHCRC departments, as well as some preliminary plans on how to carry out their work. It would be used in the meeting later.
Now, the entire physics community was focused on Shanghai.
Even though he didn't really want to worry about this kind of thing that had nothing to do with academia itself, this matter was related to the future of China's physics community, so he couldn't afford to be careless …
He stared at the PowerPoint and changed it again and again. Suddenly, two WeChat messages popped up on his phone screen.
The message was from Luo Wenxuan.
[(shock.jpg)]
[You're already on the high-speed rail?!]
After glancing at the two messages, Lu Zhou typed a reply.
[I'll be arriving at my station in an hour. When are you coming?]
Luo Wenxuan: [Tomorrow! I'll come tomorrow! I have some personal things to deal with today … Just wait for me. Speaking of which, isn't the ILHCRC headquarters unveiling ceremony in three days? Why are you there so early?]
Lu Zhou: [In addition to the unveiling ceremony, there are other things, such as the ILHCRC department meeting. Before the unveiling ceremony, I plan to convene the heads of the various departments to meet and discuss the specific regulations for future work … What are you busy with?]
Luo Wenxuan: [Uh, it's important.]
Luo Wenxuan: [Um, I still have something to do. It's not convenient to play with my phone here. Talk to you later!]
Lu Zhou: "…"
I don't know why.
He suddenly began to doubt whether it was the right decision to choose this guy as his successor …
Should he groom another spare tire?
While Lu Zhou was seriously thinking about this problem, Xiao Ai's message suddenly popped up on his phone screen.
Xiao Ai: [Master, do you need Xiao Ai to secretly turn on his camera? (?* `′ *)??]
Lu Zhou immediately said, "No, remember what I told you, you can't use computer technology to do bad things."
Even though he was curious about what Luo Wenxuan was busy with, eavesdropping was a bit too much.
Xiao Ai: [Oh, okay … (̄ △ ̄;)]
Lu Zhou: "…"
Why is this guy so obsessed with cameras?
When did he develop this bad habit of voyeurism?
Lu Zhou suddenly felt like as the owner of Xiao Ai, in order to prevent it from going astray in the future, he had to take some time to teach this guy a lesson. He had to give it the correct values that were in line with the expectations of human society …
…
After a two-hour drive, Lu Zhou got off the train at the Shanghai Hongqiao station.
When he followed Wang Peng to the high-speed railway station, a black Audi was already parked there.
When the driver saw the two people coming out of the station, he immediately opened the door and walked out. He took the suitcase from Wang Peng's hands and placed it in the trunk. He then handed the car keys to Wang Peng.
"I'll leave this to you."
"Okay."
Wang Peng nodded at his colleague and sat in the driver's seat. He looked at Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the back seat, through the rearview mirror.
"Are we going straight to the hotel?"
"Yeah, let's go straight there."
Wang Peng nodded and skillfully set the destination on the car navigation. He then started the car and went on the road.
Lu Zhou leaned against the back seat and closed his eyes. He planned on resting for a while. However, just as he was about to doze off, he suddenly received a call on his phone.
He took out his phone in a daze and pressed the answer button. A joyful voice with a hint of surprise quickly came from the other end of the phone.
"I saw your WeChat moments, you're in Shanghai right now?!"
Lu Zhou yawned. He recognized Chen Yushan's voice and spoke casually.
"Yeah, why?"
About two hours ago, when he got on the high-speed railway, he did post that he was leaving with his suitcase. Chen Yushan was probably referring to that post.
Chen Yushan: "What a coincidence! I'm in Shanghai too! "
Lu Zhou paused for a second and said, "You're in Shanghai too?"
"Yeah, I'll hang up the phone and send you my location.
Before Lu Zhou could react, the phone hung up. Then, he received a location on WeChat.
Coincidentally, the location wasn't far from his current location. He just had to turn right at the next traffic light, drive two blocks, and he would arrive at his destination.
Lu Zhou looked at Chen Yushan and went silent for a while. He sighed and looked at Wang Peng, who was driving.
"Let's not go to the hotel."
Wang Peng looked at the rearview mirror and asked, "Where are we going?"
Lu Zhou: "I sent the location to your phone. The destination seems to be a cafe … It's not far from here."
"Okay."
Wang Peng nodded and didn't ask Lu Zhou where he was going. He skillfully turned the steering wheel and drove toward the new destination …
