Chapter 654

Gu Lu moved his wrist, moved the thick stack of materials in front of him, and when he was about to start drying, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Knock knock~~

The knocking on the door is regular.

Just by relying on this knock, Gu Lu had already deduced who was knocking on the door outside.

If Gu Lu guessed correctly, it was none other than Bao Songquan who knocked on the door.

"Gu Lu, it's me. ”

Sure enough.

In the next second, Bao Songquan's loud voice sounded outside the door.

Gu Lu got up from the chair and spoke, "Senior brother, come in, the door is not locked." ”

Bao Songquan pushed the door in.

Gu Lu hurriedly poured Bao Songquan a cup of hot tea, and then the two sat down on the sofa on the side of the office.

"Senior brother, why did you come here this time?" asked Gu Lu suspiciously.

According to Bao Songquan's personality of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Gu Lu didn't believe that Bao Songquan came here this time just to greet him.

Bao Song searched around Gu Lu's office with his eyes, and then said, "I heard that the editor-in-chief of "New Advances in Mathematics" Macron came to you just now?"

Macron's editor-in-chief found the exact location of Gu Lu's office after constant inquiry.

And Macron's editor-in-chief is not an unknown existence.

As the editor-in-chief of the magazine "New Advances in Mathematics", although the editor-in-chief of Macron rarely shows up, his photos have always been hung on the official website of "New Advances in Mathematics", and it is difficult not to attract people's attention.

Therefore, among the people who inquired about the location of Gu Lu's office in the editor-in-chief Macron, there must be people who know the editor-in-chief Macron.

So.

Bao Songquan learned that Macron's editor-in-chief had approached Gu Lu, which was reasonable.

And Gu Lu also nodded here, and replied truthfully, "Editor-in-chief Macron has indeed come to me, but editor-in-chief Macron has been gone for a while, and now, it is estimated that he has arrived at the airport." ”

Bao Songquan sighed regretfully, "I still haven't caught up!"

Bao Songquan really got the news as soon as he got the news, so he hurried downstairs to Gu Lu's office.

But unexpectedly, in the end, it was a step too late.

The status of Macron's editor-in-chief in the mathematical community, Bao Songquan still wants to make friends with him.

But......

Since people can't catch it back, Bao Songquan is just a little lost, and he doesn't stick to this matter.

"Editor-in-chief Macron came to Huaguo this time to find you?" Bao Songquan took a big sip of hot tea and turned his head to look at Gu Lu, his eyes burning.

Bao Song is the dean of the Yan University School of Mathematics, and he certainly knows more information than Bi Qi's students.

Of course, Bao Songquan knows that the sudden appearance of editor-in-chief Macron in China this time does not belong to any official activity, but belongs to the personal behavior of editor-in-chief Macron.

As far as Bao Songquan knows, the whereabouts of Editor-in-Chief Macron's visit to China this time are very hidden, and the only person who has been in contact for a long time is Gu Lu.

From these clues, Bao Songquan easily deduced that Macron's editor-in-chief came to China for Gu Lu.

Gu Lu nodded in acknowledgement.

"What is his purpose?" Bao Songquan then asked.

Gu Lu didn't speak, but just smiled slightly, took out a contract from the desk drawer and handed it to Bao Songquan.

This contract, of course, is Gu Lu's appointment contract as a reviewer of "New Advances in Mathematics".

This contract is in duplicate.

The editor-in-chief of Macron took a copy, and Gu Lu left a copy here.

What Gu Lu handed to Bao Songquan was the one left in his hands.

Bao Song took the contract handed over by Gu Lu with some doubts.

Afterwards......

After glancing at the title of the contract and simply flipping through a few pages, Bao Songquan's breathing became heavy.

"You, have you become a reviewer of "New Advances in Mathematics"?" Bao Songquan stared at Gu Lu fiercely, his tone trembling a little.

Gu Lu spread his hands, "Theoretically, that's the case. ”

"However, I am currently busy with new topics, so at present, I only have the right to be a reviewer of New Advances in Mathematics, but I do not need to fulfill the obligation of being a reviewer. ”

Hiss——!

Bao Songquan gasped again.

Have the rights of a reviewer, but do not have to fulfill the obligations of a reviewer.

Such a contract is probably unique in the decades-long history of "New Advances in Mathematics".

This editor-in-chief of Macron is really bold.

Of course......

This is not the point of Bao Songquan's focus.

Rather, "New Advances in Mathematics" is willing to hire Gu Lu as a reviewer.

After entering the millennium, Bao Songquan was still clear about the convention of the four major mathematics journals as reviewers in the Chinese mathematics community.

It is not that the Chinese mathematics community has not been troubled by this matter.

Because this really has an impact on the proportion of Chinese mathematicians' papers in the four major journals.

It was not until the vigorous development of the Chinese mathematics community in the past few years that the negative impact of this situation was eliminated a lot.

Nowadays.

"New Advances in Mathematics" was the first to break the rules and appoint Gu Lu as a reviewer.

Then, the tacit understanding that the four major journals in the mathematics world have maintained for a full twenty years is estimated to collapse in an instant after this news is released.

Now that the rules have been broken.

The appointment of Chinese mathematicians as reviewers by the other three journals is not something worth criticizing.

When the time comes.

The number of Chinese mathematicians serving as reviewers in the four major journals is expected to usher in a surge.

Seemingly.

Gu Lu's signing of the reviewer appointment contract with New Advances in Mathematics is just a small step for Gu Lu.

But for the entire Chinese mathematics community, that is a big step.

On behalf of Chinese mathematicians, they finally have a part of their own voice in the top journals in the mathematics field, and they have gotten rid of the situation of being slaughtered by everyone.

Of course......

Under such circumstances, Gu Lu's contract with Macron's editor-in-chief this time has naturally become a milestone historical turning point.

In the office, Bao Songquan couldn't put it down, holding Gu Lu's contract and reading it several times.

"Senior brother, it's just a contract, no matter how much you look at it, you won't see the flowers. Gu Lu said with a smile on the side.

"Gu Lu, you don't know how heavy your contract is. Bao Songquan's mood still can't be calmed down.

Compared with Gu Lu's contract, whether or not to see Macron's editor-in-chief today is not so important to Bao Songquan.

"When did the editor-in-chief of Macron say that this contract will be announced?" Suddenly, Bao Songquan thought of something and asked.

"Well, Macron's editor-in-chief didn't say it. Gu Lu recalled for a moment and said, "However, I guess that Macron's editor-in-chief will not hide this news for too long." ”

Bao Songquan nodded in agreement.
