Chapter 446: It's Okay to Just Eat......
Although the research work is very busy, this topic is not a problem like Goldbach's conjecture and the NS equation that he must solve with all his strength to have a chance of winning, and it will not make him so busy that he can't even spare time for a meal.
Not to mention that it's still on the weekend.
However, when Lu Zhou drove to the downstairs of the student apartment at the University of Pennsylvania, stood on the side of the asphalt road and waited for a while, what he saw was not just the senior sister.
There is also a middle-aged and elderly man who looks very imposing and looks about the same age as his father......
"Hello, Professor Lu, I am Chen Yushan's father, and I'm sorry to interrupt your work in my busy schedule." Squeezing out a standard smile on his face, Chen Baohua stretched out his right hand.
Lu Zhou held the man's outstretched hand with a confused expression.
“…… Uncle Chen: Okay. ”
Chen Baohua nodded, secretly satisfied in his heart.
Yes, this guy is quite polite.
But soon, he realized that he was here to talk about business, so he coughed lightly and went straight to the point.
"Shanshan, she should have told you the details."
Lu Zhou: ......?
What's going on?
However, just as Lu Zhou was about to ask, he saw Chen Yushan's pitiful and begging eyes.
After hesitating for a while, he finally changed his tune.
"Well, that's ......"
A smile appeared on Chen Baohua's face.
"Okay, I booked a table at a nearby Chinese restaurant, and we ate and talked at the table...... Go with your car or with Sanshan's? ”
Lu Zhou: "...... Open mine. ”
The female driver has never driven an SUV, although Uncle Chen can drive but does not have a US driver's license, the car is naturally driven by Lu Zhou.
After getting into the car, Chen Baohua glanced at the driver's seat.
"This car is good, like SUVs?"
Turning on the car navigation system, Lu Zhou smiled: "It's okay, it's safer to drive...... Where is the Chinese restaurant? ”
After watching Uncle Chen set the destination on the navigator, Lu Zhou started the car and drove onto the road.
Through the inner rearview mirror, Lu Zhou immediately exchanged glances with Chen Yushan.
Lu Zhou: What's the situation???
Chen Yushan: I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'll explain it to you in a moment!
Lu Zhou: ......?
Because the amount of information contained in that look was too large and too complicated, Lu Zhou didn't read anything.
He still looked confused.
Obviously said that it was just to have a meal together, how did it become a meeting with parents?
Lu Zhou and Chen Yushan's eye contact naturally did not escape Chen Baohua's sight.
Seeing this stinky boy and his daughter "eyebrows" in front of him, Chen Baohua's expression was a little complicated.
These two ......
Is it really nothing?
Thinking that his daughter had begun to consciously hide from herself, Chen Baohua's mood was as complicated as the expression on his face.
If it weren't for the task on his body, he would definitely not give this kid a good look.
……
After a short time, the car drove to its destination.
Before entering the box, Chen Yushan found an opportunity and secretly pulled Lu Zhou aside.
"I'm sorry!" Chen Yushan folded her hands, closed her eyes and bowed her head, and sincerely apologized, "I didn't explain to you, it's actually my dad who wants to see you!" But I didn't know how to talk to you on the phone, so ......"
Lu Zhou: "Uncle Chen, he's engaged in mathematics?" ”
Chen Yushan whispered: "...... That's not it, he's from the Organization Department. ”
Organizational Department's?
Although he was surprised, after understanding this, Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully.
In my impression, the Thousand Talents Project seems to be under the management of the Organization Department.
In this way, this Uncle Chen is probably engaged in talent introduction?
Lu Zhou didn't know much about things within the system, and he wasn't particularly interested.
After probably guessing what this Uncle Chen wanted to talk about with him, Lu Zhou also had a number in his heart.
After entering the box, Chen Yushan sat next to her father, and Lu Zhou sat opposite the father and daughter.
Chen Baohua coughed lightly, looked at his daughter, and said majestically, "Shanshan, you go to the bathroom, and I'll talk to Professor Lu about some serious things." ”
"Oh."
Chen Yushan obediently pulled out the chair and prepared to get up.
It can be seen that she should belong to the type of good girl at home......
emmm……
Totally unimaginable!
Putting aside those strange thoughts in his heart, Lu Zhou coughed lightly.
"Uncle Chen, if you plan to talk to me about something secret?"
Chen Baohua was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile.
"That's not it, it's mainly because I'm worried about your side......"
"That's still for Chen Xue...... Yushan stay here, I don't have any secrets here. Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.
I always feel that it is pitiful to let her stay outside alone.
Looking at Lu Zhou gratefully, Chen Yushan sat back happily.
Obviously, she didn't want to be left out either.
Glancing at his daughter, Chen Baohua didn't say anything, cleared his throat, and spoke.
"Since you've said so, I'll just say it."
Knowing that it is useless to do ideological work on intellectuals, this kind of person has read a lot of books, and most of them have their own opinions and thoughts, so Chen Baohua did not go around in circles and went directly to the topic.
"Your talent is appreciated and needed by our country, and we eagerly look forward to your return to China to engage in research."
"As a sign of how much we value you, we can pay you three times your salary at Princeton, in the form of a special tax-free allowance."
"And we can guarantee that your research funding will also be more than three times that of your current one, and in the form of special funding. Issued by the central government. Wherever you work, the policy will follow, and on behalf of the Organization Department, I can assure you that all your research work will be given the utmost attention. ”
Finally, Chen Baohua said sincerely: "If you have other needs, you can tell me, and I will convey your requirements to the senior management!" ”
Triple salary......
The expression on Lu Zhou's face was slightly surprised.
His current salary is $400,000 a year, three times that of $1.2 million.
If it is converted into RMB, it will be more than 8 million, and it will be issued in the form of special allowances.
Even if you are a Filipino Prize-level scholar, this treatment is too exaggerated.
As for research grants, he didn't have much to do in Princeton. However, the financial distribution is still very attractive to most researchers, which is equivalent to saving him a lot of complicated approval procedures.
After a pause, Lu Zhou smiled and spoke.
"I don't have a problem with the treatment. As for the rest, give me a non-governmental. A distracting academic environment is fine......"
Chen Baohua nodded carefully and wrote down this sentence, but just as he was about to speak, the phone in Lu Zhou's pocket suddenly rang.
took out his mobile device and turned off the ringtone, seeing that it was a strange call, Lu Zhou, who was talking about business, didn't want to be interrupted, so he casually pressed it and hung up.
However, within two seconds, before he could put the phone back in his pocket, the phone vibrated again.
Is it so persistent?
His brows jumped, and just when Lu Zhou was about to turn off the phone, Chen Baohua coughed lightly, "Professor Lu should answer the phone first, in case there is any emergency, don't delay because of me." ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile: "If it's serious, the call should be to my office, not here." ”
His office was always on duty, and if there was anything important, Vera would tell him as soon as possible.
In his experience, this kind of stranger call is either a scam call or a sales pitch for some strange product.
However, Chen Baohua said so, and Lu Zhou casually pressed the connect button and put the mobile phone to his ear.
"Hello?"
Two minutes passed after that "hey".
Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, gradually, Lu Zhou's expression began to become strange.
It didn't take long for the call to finish.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou, who looked at the screen of his mobile phone, was silent for a while.
Although Chen Baohua wanted to ask what happened, he didn't know whether he should inquire or not, so he could only accompany him in silence and sit there with a serious face.
Chen Yushan didn't have such a delicate mind, looking at the strange expression on Lu Zhou's face, she probably felt that it was not a bad thing, so she asked in a low voice, "You...... What's wrong? ”
After being silent for a while, Lu Zhou looked up at the two of them and hesitated.
"I ......"
"Maybe I won the lottery."
