At the corner of the shopping street, there was a chic coffee shop.
Judging from the decoration style of the coffee shop and the small blackboard with colored chalk near the door, the owner of the shop was probably a boss who liked to live a good life. However, because it was working hours, there were only a few people sitting in the shop.
Lu Zhou pushed open the glass door decorated with wind chimes and paper cranes. He walked into the shop and saw Chen Yushan sitting by the window. She was waving at him with her arms raised in surprise.
She didn't look much different from when he saw her just after the New Year. Her long black hair was tied behind her head, leaving a few strands of hair at her temples to decorate the beautiful contours of her face. She was wearing a khaki coat and a white turtleneck sweater. Her black boots were above her knees. As always, she looked simple, capable, and fashionable.
And it wasn't just Chen Yushan.
Next to her, Lu Zhou also saw an unexpected acquaintance.
"Long time no see, Academician Lu." The mature woman sitting next to Chen Yushan nodded to Lu Zhou with a smile on her face. She then said in a very restrained voice, "Thank you for taking care of my daughter."
"Ms. Yang, you're welcome." Although Lu Zhou was surprised to see Ms. Yang here, he didn't show much surprise on his face. After sitting across from the two, he smiled politely and said, "Academician is an academic title. It sounds too distant. Just call me Professor Lu."
This acquaintance was none other than the mother of his little apprentice, Ms. Yang Danyun.
Lu Zhou remembered that this was seven years ago. At that time, Lu Zhou was still calculating his living expenses and tuition fees, and he received a lot of care from her. Later, he went to study at Princeton, and Han Mengqi was finally admitted to her ideal university through her own efforts. They gradually stopped contacting each other.
Lu Zhou didn't expect to see her again today.
Chen Yushan looked at the polite Lu Zhou and smiled.
"Okay, okay, let's stop the small talk. It's not our first time drinking coffee together. Do you want something to drink? We've already ordered. "
Lu Zhou: "A mocha is fine."
Chen Yushan raised her arm and waved.
"Waiter, a cup of mocha please."
For Lu Zhou, in a situation where instant coffee was not an option, mocha was a good alternative.
The taste of chocolate could cover up the bitterness of the coffee to a certain extent, but it wasn't too sweet. The mellow taste made it easier to drink than other coffees. In short, it wasn't easy to make a mistake.
After the coffee was served, Lu Zhou took a sip.
Chen Yushan, who had been staring at him curiously, finally couldn't help but ask.
"Why did you suddenly come to Shanghai?"
"I have something to do at the ILHCRC. I don't want to go, but I can't help myself." Lu Zhou made a helpless expression. He looked at Mrs. Yang, then at Chen Yushan, and asked, "What about you? I didn't even know you were in Shanghai. "
Chen Yushan pouted and muttered, "Ah, how would you know if you never cared about me? You never liked my WeChat moments."
Lu Zhou: "…"
What are you talking about?
I have so many things to do every day, I don't have time to like my WeChat moments every day …
Chen Yushan looked at Lu Zhou and sighed. "Okay, okay, I won't blame you. Remember the plan I told you last time?"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Yeah … Is it related to that?"
"Kind of." Because her auntie was here, Chen Yushan didn't go into details. She said, "In short, in response to the call of the state to encourage capital to enter the high-tech industry in an orderly manner and achieve industrial restructuring, there was a Pan-Asian High-tech Innovation and Investment Summit in Shanghai. It's quite a large scale. Apparently, not only large domestic companies, but many Southeast Asian companies were attracted.
"I received an invitation from the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce. I happened to be free, so I came on behalf of Star Sky Technology."
Pan-Asian High-tech Innovation and Investment Summit?
The name sounds interesting, but I don't know what it's about.
Lu Zhou then looked at Mrs. Yang, who was sitting next to Chen Yushan, and asked curiously.
"Mrs. Yang too?"
Yang Danyun smiled and nodded. "I'm an old member of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, so I received an invitation. Even though my business doesn't have anything to do with technology, it's a rare opportunity, so I came with Yushan. "
Chen Yushan looked at Lu Zhou and said, "What do you think? Do you want to come and see? A summit like this is quite interesting. "
"I'll pass." Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head. He said, "Not to mention, I didn't receive an invitation. It's not good to disturb them."
When Yang Danyun heard Lu Zhou's words, she smirked and said, "Professor Lu, you're joking. If you want to go, you don't need an invitation."
Chen Yushan nodded and said, "That's right, if you want one, I can get one for you right now."
Seeing how Chen Yushan was looking at him with anticipation, Lu Zhou couldn't refuse, so he spoke with a helpless expression.
"If I have time … I'll go."
"Then it's settled." Chen Yushan had a smile on her face as she said, "Speaking of which, where is your hotel? I'll go find you, let's go together! "
Mrs. Yang looked at her niece and said, "You little girl, now that you have a friend, you don't want your auntie anymore?"
Chen Yushan suddenly looked a little embarrassed, and she quickly said, "We can go together, I didn't say I wouldn't bring you. We can go find him together, then go to the venue … "
Mrs. Yang smiled and shook her head.
"Alright, it's better for you youngsters to gather yourselves. I won't be a third wheel. Also, I don't need to accompany you, I can arrange my own time and find time to see my old friends. Do you think I want to follow you? It's all because of your mother. "
"Auntie, you're the best!"
"Okay, okay, stop acting like a spoiled child. Act mature, you're an adult!"
Mrs. Yang looked at Chen Yushan, who was giggling and grabbing her arm. However, from the smile on her face, Mrs. Yang seemed to really like her niece.
Lu Zhou, who was sitting across from the two, didn't speak. First, he couldn't find a chance to interrupt, and second, he didn't know what to say.
This guy.
How could you just assume that I'm going to go …
What if I happen to be too busy to leave, and I end up ditching her?
But …
This Pan-Asian High-Tech Innovation and Investment Summit sounds interesting.
Lu Zhou, who had attended a lot of academic conferences, was curious about what the summit was like.
If he didn't have to worry about it, he would be interested in going.
Lu Zhou made a decision in his heart.
If I'm not busy, I'll go take a look …
While Chen Yushan was excitedly talking to him about what this Pan-Asian High-Tech Innovation and Investment Summit was, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean in North America, a bright silver flight landed at the New York City airport.
Xiao Tong, who was carrying her suitcase, was walking toward the car waiting outside the airport. She was walking toward the place where her brother used to work and study …
