Chapter 326: Superficial People

Chapter 326

Sending away the group of mathematicians who came over to be close, Gu Lu found a hidden corner in the banquet hall and ate a few dishes with them.

But the good times didn't last long.

Gu Lu was still found.

This time, it was not the group of mathematicians who planned to be close to Gu Lu.

But...... People from major universities!

The first to discover Gu Lu's whereabouts were people from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, although these two schools are in the same city, but because of this, the relationship between the two universities is not very good.

The same city is home to two of the world's top universities.

It is equivalent to Yanda and Tsinghua University in Huaguo.

Every year, because of the snatching of students, contradictions are inevitable.

This time, in order to recruit Gu Lu, a deputy dean of the School of Mathematics was sent from Harvard University, and the dean of the Department of Mathematics was sent from MIT.

The two have a lot of qualifications, and they are enough to be called bigwig-level existences in the industry.

However, this time, for the sake of Gu Lu, both of them went into battle in person.

This time, it was the vice president of Harvard University and the head of the department at MIT who were smirking and chatting meaninglessly when they noticed Gu Lu, who was hiding in a corner and eating a few plates of dishes.

The two glanced at each other silently, and the rare tacit understanding made the two walk towards Gu Lu quietly.

"Professor Gu, get to know me, I'm the associate dean of the School of Mathematics at Harvard University, Hans Eddy!"

"Hello Professor Gu, I'm the chair of the Department of Mathematics at MIT, Martin Gill!"

The two of them introduced themselves to Gu Lu almost in no particular order.

Gu Lu, who was forking a piece of steak into his mouth with a fork, paused slightly after listening to the introduction of the two.

Gu Lu first scolded in his heart, then got up helplessly, pulled a kind smile on his face, and shook hands with the two of them one by one, "Dean Hans, or Director Martin, please sit down first." ”

Gu Lu motioned for the two to sit down first.

The two nodded, and each pulled a chair and sat down opposite Gu Lu.

Gu Lu's reaction had already made the two of them guess that they were probably the first to meet Gu Lu in the major universities.

At this time, of course, it is to make a fortune in silence, rather than deliberately publicizing it.

The two made the same choice again by tacit understanding.

And the position where the two of them sat happened to cover Gu Lu's figure.

In this case, their respective competitors will only compete with each other, not all universities.

Of course, Gu Lu took in the small movements of the two.

Gu Lu could only smile helplessly.

"Let's talk, two. Gu Lu's expression became a little solemn.

The two people on the other side also looked solemn.

The two knew that Gu Lu was going to talk to them about business.

It's just that what the two of them didn't expect was that Gu Lu would get to the point so quickly.

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Lu organized his words and said slowly, "Needless to say, I already know the intention of the two. ”

"I am very grateful to the two universities for their attention and love, but I will continue to stay at Yan University, this is my choice!"

Gu Lu originally wanted to euphemistically and implicitly refuse the solicitation of the two universities.

But after thinking about it carefully, Gu Lu felt that it was inappropriate.

Because if it is too tactful and subtle, it will give these two universities the illusion that there is still a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, when it is broken, it is broken!

So at the beginning, Gu Lu directly expressed his attitude of refusing to solicit.

However, Gu Lu still underestimated the patience of these two people.

If any other mathematician dared to slap their faces at them like this, they would have slapped the table and left!

But this time it's different!

This time it's Gu Lu!

It was the leader of the academy who personally said that no matter what the cost was, he would recruit a genius young mathematician, Gu Lu!

The chair of the mathematics department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was the first to speak, "Professor Gu, don't you really consider coming to our school?"

"The annual salary we offer you is 1 million US dollars, and there is also a sea view villa of more than 300 square meters, and there are many other benefits. ”

The head of the mathematics department at MIT inquired about Gu's annual salary at Yenching University, which is more than one million yuan.

And the annual salary given by their school is five or six times that of Yan University.

This amount, I'm afraid as long as it's a normal person, I'm tempted.

But Gu Lu is not a normal person.

Gu Lu smiled slightly and said apologetically, "Director Martin, I'm sorry, I still choose to stay at Yanda!"

The head of the mathematics department at MIT gritted his teeth, "One and a half million! Professor Gu, my highest authority is to give you an annual salary of one and a half million US dollars, and if you are not satisfied with this amount, I can discuss it with the above." ”

1.5 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 10 million yuan.

And this is just Gu Lu's annual salary for one year.

I'm afraid that this number will make many mathematicians crazy.

But Gu Lu just smiled and shook his head to refuse.

The head of the mathematics department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was grim.

On the other hand, the deputy dean of the School of Mathematics at Harvard University next to him was happy.

Director Martin was deflated in Gu Lu's hands, which meant that his opportunity had come.

"Director Martin, don't open your mouth for money, keep your mouth shut about money, is Professor Gu such a superficial person!"

"Professor Gu, I know you're not interested in money, so I'm not going to talk about superficial things like annual salary, I'll say something meaningful. ”

The vice dean of Harvard University smiled and asked, "Hilbert's office, Professor Gu, you should have heard of it, right?"

Gu Lu nodded and smiled, "It's been famous for a long time." ”

Hilbert's office, in the legendary era of the thirties and forties of the last century, was founded by Hilbert himself, a mathematical research office, which is famous all over the world.

The Hilbert office was attached to Harvard University, and after Hilbert's death, the Hilbert office did not die out, but has been passed down under the organization of Harvard University.

It is home to some of Harvard's top math geniuses.

The vice dean of Harvard University said their weight, "Professor Gu, our school has decided that as long as you are willing to come to our school, you will become the new director of the office of Hilbert's office!"

It has to be said that the conditions offered by Harvard University are much more attractive than those offered by MIT.

Hilbert's Chief of Staff!

It was a position of great power and prestige.

Once Gu Lu sat in that position, it would be of great help to the big plan he was brewing.

But Gu Lu still smiled and shook his head in refusal, "Dean Hans, I'm sorry. ”

Both Harvard and MIT are gone.

For a period of time after the dinner, colleges and universities kept coming to Gu Lu to show their intention to solicit.

But Gu Lu rejected them all.

"I choose to stay at Yanda!"

In the face of every university, Gu Lu replied with such a sentence.

"Yan University has no future! Professor Gu, you choose to stay in Yan University, a university with a ranking of only more than 20 years, you are simply complacent!"

A certain big guy who was rejected by Gu Lu said this sentence angrily.

"Are you complacent?" Gu Lu muttered, then got up and looked down at the night scene outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the banquet hall.

And at this moment, in Gu Lu's mind, there was a sudden 'ding dong'.
