Chapter 402: A Chance Encounter on the Rooftop

Chapter 402

Regarding Simon's operation, Gu Lu was speechless for a long time.

After that, Gu Lu patiently guided Simon to register as a user one by one.

"What did you order?"

Seeing Simon operating his mobile phone and starting to place an order, Gu Lu asked.

"Two large bowls of bean juice and a xiaolongbao. Simon showed the mobile phone interface to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu sighed lightly.

"Why don't you eat preserved eggs today?" Gu Lu thought that Simon had changed his taste.

Simon replied with a smile, "Xiao Long Bao I want preserved eggs and lean meat filling." ”

Gu Lu: "......"

Really.

He still thinks too highly of Simon.

Gu Lu even thought about what to do if Simon returned to China after a while and couldn't eat preserved eggs.

Hung up the video call with Simon.

Gu Lu rubbed his head, which was still a little painful, and ran to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.

It's half past two in the morning on December 15th.

Looking out through the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel room, you can see a brightly lit field.

Magic City.

Like Yanjing, it is also a city that never sleeps.

He definitely couldn't sleep, so Gu Lu put on a thick coat and unscrewed the door to the rooftop of the hotel.

A cold breeze blows on your face.

blew Gu Lu to sober up a lot in an instant.

He tightened his coat, tucked his hands into his pockets, and stomped his feet onto the rooftop.

"Well, someone?"

As soon as Gu Lu stepped onto the rooftop, he heard a violent cough.

However, due to the catchment pond built on the rooftop, it just blocked Gu Lu's sight.

Gu Lu walked around from the side of the sump basin.

Then I saw a figure leaning against the railing of the rooftop, smoking a cigarette.

At the same time that Gu Lu noticed the figure, the figure also seemed to sense that someone was coming from behind.

The man turned his head.

The two pairs of eyes looked at each other.

"It's you!" Gu Lu was stunned for a moment.

"Long time no see, Gu Lu. The man smiled.

"Konstantin, why are you here?" Looking at the familiar figure opposite, Gu Lu's brows furrowed tightly.

That's right!

The man standing on the opposite side was none other than Konstantin.

Now it should have been in Constantine at the University of Zurich, Switzerland.

"Why, I'm not welcome. Konstantin snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and walked towards Gu Lu with a sneer.

To be honest, it was not in Konstantin's plan to meet Gu Lu here.

Originally, Konstantin wanted to give Gu Lu a big "surprise" at the award ceremony of the Morningside Mathematics Prize tonight.

But it seems to be ......

The expected effect of the program was not achieved.

To be honest, Konstantin still hurts.

I have to pretend to be light-hearted.

"Nothing is unwelcome. Gu Lu shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It's just that I wanted to go up to the rooftop to enjoy the night view on the Huangpu River, but I didn't expect that my luck was not so good, and I saw something that was bad for the scenery." ”

"Forget it, I'll see the night view another day, I'd better go back to my room and get some sleep. ”

Gu Lu said that he was about to turn around and walk back.

Konstantin roared with a dark face, "Gu Lu, don't go!"

"I wonder if Professor Constantine has anything else to say?" Gu Lu stopped.

The corners of Konstantin's mouth drew a sneer, "Aren't you curious, why am I here?"

Gu Lu smiled, "Didn't you come here to congratulate me on winning the award?"

Konstantin: "......"

Konstantin's face darkened.

Konstantin clenched his fists, resisting the urge not to step forward and beat Gu Lu.

He gritted his teeth and sneered, "I'll tell you the truth, not only did I not come to congratulate you on winning the award this time, but I even prevented you from winning the award." ”

"You should know that the Morningside Prize in Mathematics is judged by nine non-Asian mathematicians. And I'm one of the new jury members!"

"With me here, let alone the gold medal of the Morningside Math Prize, maybe you don't even have a gold medal. Tonight, you're ready to come for nothing!"

Konstantin frightened Gu Lu with great momentum.

He said it as if it were real.

But the truth is......

For this year's Morningside Mathematics Prize, one of the gold medals has been awarded to Gu Lu.

Konstantin was one of the nine members of the jury, and that's right.

But the Morningside Prize in Mathematics is not a word of Constantine.

The other eight non-Asian judges all overrode Konstantin in terms of seniority and connections.

In addition, Konstantin is a newly appointed jury, and his voice is not high.

The other eight judges all agreed to award the gold medal of the Morningside Mathematics Award to Gu Lu.

Konstantin objected.

But the objection is invalid.

The gold award is still Gu Lu's.

Now, Konstantin can only rely on his status as a member of the jury to scare Gu Lu.

At the very least, Gu Luyu should be invited to the awards ceremony in the evening.

Since the result can't be changed, it is still very pleasing to Konstantin to make Gu Lu uncomfortable.

But......

To Konstantin's surprise, after listening to one of his calls, Gu Lu's reaction was very flat.

"Oh. Gu Lu said such a word in a flat tone.

"Oh?" Konstantin froze.

"Did I not explain it to you clearly or did you not listen carefully, the Morningside Math Prize is out of your share, you don't have your share, you know?" Konstantin shouted.

"Okay, okay, I know, don't roar, I just woke up, and my head hurts again because of your yelling. Gu Lu was too lazy to talk to Constantin.

First of all, the veracity of Konstantin's statement itself is questionable.

Again.

Even if what Konstantin said was true, then Gu Lu didn't matter.

A Morningside Math Prize only.

If it weren't for the fact that the award would reward mall points in the system mall, Gu Lu would have not taken it to heart a long time ago.

As for the award will give Gu Lu a series of status promotions or something.

Gu Lu didn't care about these for a long time.

No matter how powerful the Morningside Prize in Mathematics is, its influence is limited to China.

And once he and Simon successfully conquered the narrow Hodge conjecture.

That will usher in the respect of mathematicians all over the world.

In fact, Gu Lu still wished that he was not on the list of winners.

Because then, he doesn't have to go to the dinner party after the awards ceremony to participate in all kinds of endless entertainment. Instead, as soon as the award ceremony is over, you can fly straight to the airport and fly back to Yanjing to meet Simon.

"Are you finished?" Gu Lu raised his eyelids and glanced at Konstantin lightly.

"That's it. Konstantin nodded.

"Now that I'm done, let's disperse, it's cold enough, I don't want to catch a cold. After saying this, Gu Lu tightened his coat, put his hands in his pockets, and quickly walked off the roof while stomping his feet.

"Hey, Gu Lu, don't go, I still have something to do......"

Konstantin wanted to call Gu Lu again, but found that Gu Lu had already disappeared.
