He was already seen, so there was no point in hiding.
Luo Wenxuan stopped walking and looked at Lu Zhou awkwardly. He scratched the back of his head.
It was indeed quite embarrassing to be caught slacking.
He tried to change the topic and spoke with a smile, "What a coincidence.
Speaking of which, today's weather is pretty good. It's a good thing it didn't rain, the sky is clear. If it was raining, everyone would be holding an umbrella, and it wouldn't be as effective … "
Lu Zhou: "We put dry ice in the sky yesterday, why would it rain today? Don't change the topic, what were you doing when I was looking for you? "
Luo Wenxuan coughed awkwardly and said, "My ticket was ten minutes late. I was caught in a rush hour traffic jam … Then I was late."
"You took the high-speed train this morning?" Lu Zhou was speechless as he said, "Can't you get to Shanghai a day earlier? Why did you have to be late? "
Luo Wenxuan awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said, "Um … I didn't miss anything important, right?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You didn't miss anything, other than the unveiling ceremony."
Luo Wenxuan sighed in relief and patted his chest.
"Phew, that was close!"
"Close my a * s! I thought I was complimenting you! " Lu Zhou couldn't help but retort. He then said, "You'll be in charge of the press conference at two o 'clock in the afternoon. Go to the news department and pick up your speech. You have to familiarize yourself with what you can and can't say. "
When Luo Wenxuan heard that he was in charge of the afternoon press conference, he jumped up like a husky. He said, "Wait, wait a second! Isn't there someone in charge of the press conference? I remember that my job isn't — "
Lu Zhou: "You have the nerve to talk about your job, you should've been here yesterday! The department meeting is over, and you're late for the unveiling ceremony. If I don't punish you, how am I supposed to lead the team? "
"Don't," Luo Wenxuan said with a bitter face. He then said, "Give me a break, those reporters are dogs …"
Lu Zhou chuckled and said, "That won't do. I have to make you do this. Furthermore, half of the credit goes to you for the ILHCRC project. With your understanding of the entire Lunar Hadron Collider project, it shouldn't be a problem for you to say a few words, right? I gave you a chance to act cool. "
Luo Wenxuan sweated, "What kind of pretentious act is this … Next time, if there's any major research results, let me report it to the higher-ups. I'll believe you. Besides, how can I call that half of the credit? It's not like CERN is here to cooperate with me. "
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense." Lu Zhou interrupted this guy's rambling. He waved his hand and said, "I can't even take care of this small matter, I wouldn't dare to hand over major research results to you."
As he spoke, Lu Zhou walked forward and patted his Senior Brother's shoulder with a smile.
"Work hard!"
"This is also to build a foundation for the future. You just need to take this opportunity as a form of training!"
Luo Wenxuan didn't know why, but when he looked at Lu Zhou's hopeful eyes, he felt like there was more trouble waiting for him.
However, he didn't have any evidence.
He couldn't ask.
He thought for a bit and sighed. He patted Lu Zhou's right hand on his shoulder.
"Okay then."
"Since you've put it this way, I'll have no choice but to enter hell."
"I'll go prepare."
Lu Zhou: "…"
F * ck sake, why do I feel like this guy is asking for a beating!
He was grooming him as his successor. Why did it feel like he was plotting to screw him over after hearing what this guy said?
How can this be called plotting against?
Otherwise, it would be better to groom a spare tire …
…
On the other hand, Shanghai International Airport.
Professor Krugman walked through the crowd and went down the gangway. He put on his hat and threw the luggage to a PhD student.
"Wisl, help me with my suitcase!"
Wisl said weakly as he took the suitcase from Kieran.
"Okay, Professor."
Professor Angus, who was walking next to Professor Krugman, said, "Jesus! There are too many people here! I remember it wasn't like this ten years ago when I came here for a meeting. "
Not only were there Chinese people, but there were also people with different skin colors.
Professor Angus suddenly felt like he was in another New York.
Professor Krugman smiled and spoke, "My friend, you should go out and see the world.
"My friend, you should go out more. The world is changing every day. If you stay in Princeton, you'll be out of touch with the world sooner or later … Wisl, why don't you show your gentlemanly demeanor and help the only lady in our team with her luggage?"
Wisl was speechless, but he still reached for Xiao Tong's suitcase.
Xiao Tong saw that Wisl was going to help her with her luggage, so she didn't hand over the trolley.
Instead, she awkwardly said, "I can carry my suitcase myself."
Even though Xiao Tong didn't have to do free labor for her, Dr. Wisl still had a sad and angry expression on his face.
This old man was completely ordering him around like an errand boy!
Even though Wisl knew this would happen before he left, and he was prepared to be free labor, he still felt humiliated!
However, even though that was the case, he only felt grief and indignation in his heart.
Wisl thought about how he would be able to attend an academic conference with a Nobel Prize winner, and he would be able to show off to his supervisor. This made Wisl's unhappiness disappear.
As a scholar with ideals and ambitions, this little bit of hardship was nothing to him.
This was all for the sake of his future!
With that thought in mind, not only did the dissatisfaction in Wisl's heart disappear, but he also felt like a lemon when he saw his teacher asking about the new student from China. Wisl even had more strength to carry his luggage …
Wow, this smells good!
Xiao Tong, who was walking in front of Wisl, didn't notice Wisl's thoughts. Instead, she was a bit confused by Professor Krugman's care.
Are all Princeton professors this enthusiastic?
When she was a master's student at the University of Oxford, she was often looked at differently. This was the first time she experienced this kind of enthusiasm …
"Um, Miss Xiao Tong, aren't you going to call your family to let them know you're safe?"
Looking at the concerned teacher, Xiao Tong cautiously replied, "… But I just called a few days ago."
Professor Krugman said with a serious look on his face, "I know, but aren't you on a plane again? You've been flying for more than 20 hours! Your family will be worried if they know. "
Xiao Tong: "…"
Therefore, the correct operation should be not to let them know, right?
Xiao Tong looked at her supervisor's expression, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know what to say, so she tactfully replied.
"Let's wait until we get to the hotel …"
Professor Krugman didn't know that Xiao Tong was tactfully rejecting him. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay! Let's wait until we get to the hotel … Don't forget. "
Xiao Tong nodded awkwardly.
"Yeah …"
She couldn't call him, and even if she did, she couldn't tell him that she was back in Shanghai.
If Lu Zhou knew that Lu Zhou flew back to Shanghai with his supervisor after landing at the New York airport, he would laugh at him the next time they met.
However, for some reason, Xiao Tong looked at Professor Krugman's smug face, and she had a bad feeling.
"But my brother is in Jinling, I probably won't see him …"
The little girl muttered to herself in Chinese. She shook her head and put this matter behind her for the time being. She carried her suitcase and followed her tutor to the direction of the taxi …
