Chapter 633

Alec didn't keep everyone waiting.

Half an hour passed.

At about half past five in the afternoon, Alec appeared in front of Gu Lu and the others with a suitcase about the size of Simon.

Seeing Gu Lu with a familiar face at the pick-up gate, Alec's heart subconsciously tightened and he took a few steps back.

Gu Lu, on the other hand, smiled and beckoned to Alec the moment he saw him.

Seeing Gu Lu beckoning to him with a harmless smile on his face, Alec could only take a deep breath, settle down, and then squeeze out a smile on his face and walked towards Gu Lu.

Alec knows.

Don't look at Gu Lu is smiling face now, harmless to humans and animals, but when Gu Lu is ruthless, it is also quite ruthless!

For example, this time.

Alec was threatened by Gu Luyi with a treaty in the contract he signed, and was dragged to China by Gu Lusheng.

"Professor Gu, long time no see, long time no see. ”

Although Alec had complained about Gu Lu many times in his heart, he still had a polite and flattering smile on his face when they really met.

Pulling the suitcase and coming to Gu Lu, Alec shook hands with Gu Lu with enthusiasm and excitement.

If it seems to others who don't know the relationship between the two, they may think that the two are best friends who haven't seen each other for many years!

In the face of Alec's enthusiasm, Gu Lu also did a full set of acts, and followed Alec's words.

"That's right, when I think back to the last time you and I met, it was a year and a half ago, when I met Professor Alec and others in my office, I still remember it vividly!" Gu Lu sighed.

Alec's face collapsed after hearing Gu Lu's words.

A year and a half ago, he signed that humiliating contract in front of Gu Lu, which is Alec's black history.

And now Gu Lu is bringing up the old matter again, obviously poking at Alec's sore spot.

But Alec couldn't say anything.

can only be a laugh.

"Professor Alec came from afar, and he traveled thousands of miles to come to our Yan University, it's really hard work!" Bao Songquan, who was standing on the side, greeted Alec with a smile.

You think I'm coming?

Flights from Denmark to China are not cheap at all.

If it weren't for the constraints of that clause in the contract, Alec's head would have come to Huaguo to help Gu Lu.

Although he complained like this in his heart, Alec could only hold it in his heart.

Where is this?

This is Huaguo.

Gu Lu's base camp.

If Gu Lu is angered, it is difficult to say whether he can go back completely.

As a result, Alec could only put on a disguised happy smile and shake hands with Bao Songquan again.

"It's not hard, it's not hard at all. ”

Then, Alec's eyes caught a glimpse of Simon standing behind Gu Lu.

What was noticed was Simon's hostile and playful gaze.

In fact.

Alec had long noticed Simon.

Alec wasn't surprised that Simon came over to help Gu Lu.

Because although there is no accurate news about this matter, there are many mathematicians on the forum who are convinced of this speculation.

The reason is simple.

Simon's relationship and friendship with Gu Lu can be seen in the process of proving the narrow Hodge conjecture.

Nowadays.

Gu Lu is in trouble.

It was a time when there was a shortage of top mathematicians in the fields of geometry, algebra, and topology.

Simon, as one of the four geniuses in the field of mathematical geometry of the era, could not help Gu Lu.

And the facts in front of Alec's eyes were just as everyone on the forum expected.

Simon really resolutely chose to fly to China to assist Gu Lu.

And once Gu Lu's project team has Simon joining, the overall level will rise a notch again.

Merely.

Alec and Simon's relationship is really not good.

Both of them are mixed with European math circles.

In terms of fame and strength, it is almost comparable.

However, one of the two focuses on geometry and the other actively topology, so there is not much intersection at ordinary times.

Before that narrow Hodge conjecture war, the relationship between the two was not good, but it was not bad, and there were few grievances.

But......

After that incident, the relationship between the two became extremely delicate as Gu Lu successfully proved the narrow Hodge conjecture and declared victory.

Because the two have a grudge.

That battle, to be honest, was actually a competition between Gu Lu and Konstantin.

But Simon and Alec are helpers on both sides, so the relationship is naturally not good.

Plus.

After that incident, Simon's prestige in the European mathematical community grew, while Alec's influence on Constantine began to be a little less popular with the European mathematical community.

After a long time, the gap between the two has become bigger and bigger.

Although the contradictions are not superficial, they are not pleasing to each other.

Like this time.

It's not just Alec who has long been aware of Simon's presence.

In fact, Simon had already noticed Alec's presence when he first appeared from the pick-up port.

But the two seemed to ignore each other, and neither of them was the first to say hello.

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

"Gu Lu, since the person you want to pick up has arrived, let's go to dinner. Simon stood behind Gu Lu, his eyes skimmed over Alec, and he said to Gu Lu.

"Professor Alec, you must be hungry after taking the plane for so long, I've already set up a reception party, let's go over together. Gu Lu looked at Alec with a smile.

Alec said with some trepidation, "It's really troublesome for Professor Gu and your academy." ”

Gu Lu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't bother, besides, there is no need to divide each other, Professor Alec, you forgot, you are now a visiting professor of our Yan University School of Mathematics, and you are one of us, your own people, so there is no need to say this." ”

Speaking of this, Alec had another pain in the face.

He served as a visiting professor at the Yan University School of Mathematics, which was also one of the humiliating treaties.

But......

Compared to the circumstances at the time, this condition was not so difficult to accept.

"Gu Lu, I'm also a visiting professor at your Yan University, why did you look like you were ignoring me when I was hungry just now?" Gu Lu's words aroused Simon's dissatisfaction, so he muttered to Gu Lu in a low voice.

"You're not the same as Professor Alec. Gu Lu replied simply.

"Why is it different, like Alec, I just flew from Europe from thousands of miles away, and we both have the title of a visiting professor in the School of Mathematics at Yenching University, what do you think is different between the two of us?" Simon then asked.

Gu Lu helplessly touched his forehead and replied, "Professor Alec is a guest. ”

"What about me?"

"It's a friend. ”

"Hmph, that's right!"

Simon crossed his waist, his head held high, snorted triumphantly, and then handed him a show off look when Alec was confused.
