Chapter 403

December 15 at seven a.m.

Bao Songquan called and asked Gu Lu to go down to breakfast together.

Downstairs restaurant of the hotel.

Gu Lu sat down opposite Bao Songquan with a basket of xiaolongbao and a stack of small pickles.

Bao Songquan's face looked a little unpleasant.

"Gu Lu, I just got a not-so-good news. Bao Songquan glanced up at Gu Lu and said in a deep voice, "Of the nine members of the Morningside Mathematics Award Judging Committee, one of the members of the Judging Committee has withdrawn from the Judging Committee this year because of his advanced age. ”

"When the jury withdraws, another well-known mathematician of non-Asian descent will fill in. And this new member of the Morningside Math Prize Jury Committee, his name should be familiar to you. ”

"That's it...... Konstantin!"

Bao Songquan said Konstantin's name word by word.

And to Bao Songquan's surprise, Gu Lu's expression on his face was very flat after hearing the news.

Gu Lu took a bite of the xiaolongbao full of soup and said in a relaxed tone, "Senior brother, I already knew the news. ”

"You already knew?" Bao Songquan was stunned for a moment.

Gu Lu nodded lightly, "Well, in the early hours of this morning, I met Konstantin on the rooftop of the building. ”

Early this morning, on the rooftop of the building?

Bao Songquan immediately imagined the tense scene when Gu Lu and Constantine met.

"You two, didn't you fight?" after a moment's hesitation, Bao Songquan asked.

Gu Lu smiled bitterly, "Senior brother, the previous conflict between the two of us is still to the extent of fighting each other physically. ”

Bao Songquan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." ”

Gu Lu is young and vigorous, while Konstantin himself is arrogant and arrogant.

Bao Songquan was really worried that the two would fight if they didn't agree.

"However, then again...... Bao Songquan's brows were still furrowed, "Konstantin has become one of the members of the Morningside Mathematics Prize jury, and with the contradictions between you, it is inevitable that he will play tricks behind his back to prevent you from winning the award normally." ”

Gu Lu picked up a piece of crunchy pickles and smiled lightly, "He is not playing tricks behind his back, but he is above board and doesn't want me to win the award." ”

"However, I don't think that the other eight mathematicians on the jury will mess around with Konstantin. ”

Bao Songquan nodded in agreement, "Indeed." With Constantine's current energy, he completely commanded those eight positions. ”

"But, what if......"

Bao Songquan still can't maintain much optimism.

The appearance of Konstantin made Bao Songquan's heart tremble.

On the other hand, Gu Lu has a completely indifferent attitude.

Gu Lu shrugged his shoulders and smiled casually, "If you don't win the award, then you won't win, senior brother, you know that my goal is not in this award." ”

"The award four years later is what I'm looking for. ”

Don't Gu Lu said this, Bao Songquan's mood is much better.

Then again.

Bao Songquan's purpose in calling Gu Lu down for breakfast was to enlighten Gu Lu.

But I didn't expect that.

Gu Lu himself reacted very indifferently to this matter, but it was not good in his heart.

In the end, it was not Gu Lu who enlightened himself, but Gu Lu who enlightened himself.

"Senior brother, let's eat, the taste of breakfast here is still very good. ”

Being reminded by Gu Lu like this, Bao Songquan felt that his stomach was very hungry.

The last meal is already tomorrow at noon.

And I didn't eat a few bites of the dish at all, most of it was a glass of liquor drunk.

Bao Songquan picked up a bowl of millet porridge on the table and began to devour it.

............

The Morningside Mathematics Prize Ceremony was held at 7 p.m.

At six o'clock, Gu Lu and Bao Songquan, as well as the big bulls at the dinner table yesterday, went to the Morningside Mathematics Award Ceremony together.

Gu Lu glanced at Professor Li, who had a normal look on his face, leaned over and asked tentatively, "Professor Li, does what you said yesterday still count?"

Professor Li obviously couldn't remember the promise of Gu Lu yesterday, so he was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously, "What did I say?"

Gu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head and smiled, "You forgot, you said, the next time I come to the Demon Capital, invite me to a big meal!"

"Oh, this matter!" Professor Li pretended to have a sudden realization, "It turns out that this is the case, I remembered it, no problem, when you come to the magic capital next time, I will definitely treat you to a big meal!"

In fact, Professor Li didn't remember what he said about this stubble at all.

But it's just a meal, and Professor Li doesn't care.

Just now, Professor Li thought that he drank too much yesterday and accidentally married his daughter to Gu Lu!

The ceremony was held in a large auditorium with a capacity of 500 people.

As the No. 1 award in China, the Morningside Mathematics Award naturally attracted many mathematicians to watch the award ceremony.

After Gu Lu and the others came in, almost half of the seats in the entire auditorium were already filled.

As one of the nominees for the Morningside Mathematics Award, Gu Lu was arranged in the second row like Bao Songquan and others.

As for the first row.

Sitting were the nine members of the judging committee, as well as several leaders of the Chinese Mathematical Society and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

But now there is not a single person in the first row.

Inside the auditorium.

Countless pairs of eyes fell on Gu Lu in the front row.

There is envy, there is worship, and of course there is no shortage of envy and dissatisfaction.

Many arrogant young mathematicians are very jealous of Gu Lu, who is now full of scenery.

Gu Lu's rise was too fast.

The appearance of Gu Lu touched the interests of many people.

Moreover, Gu Lu currently occupies the throne of the first generation of young people in the Chinese mathematics community.

But there are many people who think day and night about dragging Gu Lu down from this position.

But......

The group of bigwigs standing behind Gu Lu made them dare not make any rash moves.

Gu Lu's background is so strong that no one dares to provoke.

Therefore, they could only silently condemn Gu Lu in their hearts.

As for actual action, unless they don't want to mix in the mathematical world, they won't do anything in this life.

............

Konstantin walked into the auditorium with the other eight non-Asian jurymen.

It's like having a soul in your heart.

At the first glance, Konstantin saw Gu Lu sitting in the second row with his chin propped up in a daze,

An imperceptible sneer flashed across Konstantin's face.

Originally.

Konstantin's seat was still quite far away from Gu Lu.

However, Konstantin and the other committee member changed positions and made it to the left front of Gu Lu.

"Gu Lu, I didn't sleep well last night. Konstantin pulled out a chair and sat down, while sneering at Gu Luhe.

Gu Lu, who had been wandering just now, noticed that Konstantin had come after Konstantin spoke.

Gu Lu looked up at Konstantin with obvious dark circles under his eyes, and was happy, "Professor Konstantin, it should be you who didn't sleep well last night." ”
