The 12th National Congress of the Chinese Mathematical Society came to a successful conclusion, and it was time for Lu Zhou to say goodbye to the city.

This time when he returned to Jinling, he was the only one.

As for Academician Lu, because he was going to attend a summit in the field of high-energy physics at the University of Brussels in Belgium in mid-November, he stayed at the BES Institute in Beijing to do some research during this time.

Originally, Academician Lu planned to take Lu Zhou there, but this time he might stay there for a bit of a long time, and even go to CERN, and Lu Zhou had to go to California in December to attend the year-end academic meeting of the Federal Mathematical Society, so he had to regret missing this summit.

And Senior Brother Yan, a professional veteran driver, naturally went with Academician Lu.

At the capital airport, Yan Xinjue drove Lu Zhou to the door.

After getting out of the car, Yan Xinjue helped Lu Zhou move out of the suitcase and patted him on the shoulder.

"Senior brother, take care!"

"Take care...... In other words, I just went back to Jinling, not to a far place. I always feel that this sound of taking care tastes weird, Lu Zhou coughed dryly and said.

Yan Xinjue: "You're going to California in December." ”

Lu Zhou nodded: "Yes." ”

Yan Xinjue sighed lightly and said with emotion: "The Chinese winner of the Cole Number Theory Award has Mr. Zhang Yitang in front of him, but unfortunately there is no Chinese mathematician who can win this number theory award. Senior brother, you can be regarded as filling the gap in our country in this award. I don't think I will return home in December, so I'm waiting for your good news in Belgium! ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

The two big men stopped inking, and after saying goodbye, Senior Brother Yan got into the car, and Lu Zhou also dragged his suitcase, turned around and walked to the waiting hall, ready to board.

After a two-hour flight, the plane landed on the runway.

Out of the waiting room, Lu Zhou was about to go outside to take a ride, but before he could get out of the waiting room, he was startled by the battle outside.

I saw two younger students who looked like freshmen, holding a small section of banners with "shy" expressions.

[Congratulations to Lu Zhou, a master's student of our school, for winning the 15th Chern-Chern Mathematics Award!] 】

Hold the grass, is it so fanfare?

Anyway, looking at the two of you, it's not like you don't know how shameful this thing is!

From time to time, passers-by cast curious glances over there, and there seemed to be a reporter from Jinling Daily lurking next to him, waiting for him to appear and take pictures.

Lu Zhou's face changed slightly, and he dragged his suitcase around the side, but he didn't take two steps out of the waiting hall before he was recognized by a sharp-eyed girl's shoes.

"Senior Lu!"

Lin Yuxiang's eyes lit up, he stood on tiptoe and beckoned to Lu Zhou excitedly, and then trotted after him.

has been discovered, Lu Zhou was embarrassed to slip away, so he had to stop, turn around, and squeeze out a smile to cope with the camera.

"Hayashibe...... Hello, President. ”

This year, it seems to be the president of the student union, and it seems to be the first half of the year, and Lu Zhou has forgotten who he heard about it.

The only thing he wanted to complain about was one thing.

Anyway, it's late autumn, and your little dress isn't too cold......

Lin Yuxiang smiled, gently stroked the hair between his ears with his index finger, and said, "What will you do, senior, just call me Yuxiang, or by name." ”

Why can this guy call out the word senior so easily and naturally.

Thinking of a certain senior sister Chen who would use her identity as a senior sister to suppress herself, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Terrible......

"Senior, I'll help you with your suitcase!"

"No, no, no, don't bother!"

Just as he excused himself, a familiar and loud voice came.

"Lu Zhou, congratulations!"

Lu Zhou looked up and said in surprise.

"Director Lu?"

I saw Director Lu standing with a teacher who was probably in charge of the student union, and walked over to him with a smile.

Holding Lu Zhou's hand, Lu Fangping smiled and said, "Dean Qin is holding a meeting outside, and he specially asked me to pick you up!" ”

Seeing the old professor's solemn appearance, Lu Zhou couldn't help but laugh and said, "Thank you...... You're so embarrassed to me, and it's not very far, so I'll call a net car and go back by myself. ”

"Haha, how can that work! You are now a role model for thousands of students in our school, and you can't afford to slack off. And don't say it's a role model for students, I don't know how many professors envy you," Director Lu said with a smile, "The car is at the entrance of the airport, let's get in the car quickly." ”

Only the latter sentence, Lu Zhou couldn't agree more.

There are more and more onlookers, and some people take out their mobile phones to secretly shoot short videos.

Whether this old-timer cares or not, he can't stay anymore anyway.

Sitting in the car, Lu Zhou chatted with Director Lu and another young professor who was engaged in student work, and sighed in his heart. A Chern's Prize in Mathematics is just this battle, if you wait for yourself to get the Colean Number Theory Award back, then you will still win?

I silently made up my mind.

Lu Zhou decided that when he returned to China, he would not land in Jinling and go back to his hometown for the New Year.

Soon returned to school.

When he arrived at the school gate, Lu Zhou found that the banner that he thought was just a small interception was gone, or the Too young, too simple Tucson was broken.

Longer, larger and more exaggerated banners are hanging at the school gate.

And this banner, if nothing else, has to be hung for a week.

Come to think of it, which professor in the school wins a national award, he has to make a big splash. Not to mention the top domestic awards such as the Chern Prize in Mathematics, not to mention that he is still a master's student.

Of course, in addition to publicity, if you think about it deeply, the school is so grand, and there is no meaning of tying people up with honor.

After all, Lu Zhou is about to go to Princeton, young and promising, but he has not yet started a family, and he doesn't even have a partner. People who have seen the world of flowers outside and are willing to return to China to do their studies are rare.

Give some honor appropriately, stay outside for a long time, and remember the good of your hometown.

After getting out of the car, Lu Zhou didn't touch his suitcase at all, and was sent to 201 by two enthusiastic student union juniors.

As for Lu Zhou himself, he was warmly received by Academician Xu, the president.

This veteran academician with a background in scientific research has the characteristics of a scientific research person, and his speech is concise and to the point, so that he does not torture him with a tirade. Although he was born in information technology, he also attaches great importance to the construction of mathematics in the school.

After all, Jinda's strength is physics, and physics can never be separated from mathematics.

……

In the evening, the dining hall on the top floor of the canteen.

Lu Zhou thought that the previous reception was grand enough, but he didn't expect the school to hold a "celebration banquet" for him.

Well, to be precise, it was done by the academy, because all the professors who came were from the academy.

Lu Zhou is very popular in school, and he has a good relationship with several old professors, and everyone is very face-saving.

During the meal, Professor Tang and Lu Zhou had a drink and sighed.

"A major research topic such as the Polygnac conjecture usually takes five or ten years to see results. It's amazing that you can crack it in a year! The only time I've seen it in my life is that I didn't expect you to have such a great talent in number theory. Sure enough, people are still old! ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said modestly: "Professor, you are exaggerating, it's just that the inspiration came by chance." ”

"Just be modest with Principal Xu, what is your own modesty," Director Lu smiled, already treating Lu Zhou, a junior, as his own, "By the way, your final report, let's get ready." See if you can make it before the annual review in December, and while you are still on the side of Jinda, report a scientific research achievement, and you can also issue a bonus of 100,000 yuan. ”

Although when proving Zhou's conjecture and twin prime conjecture, the school awarded him one million each, but this time it is definitely impossible to give so much.

As for the reason, it is very simple, the first time is in the name of the introduction of overseas talents, the national school each gave 500,000 yuan, and 1 million according to the standard of the settlement allowance for returnee doctors, and this is also the operation of the university to Liu. As for the second time, it was not actually the school's money, but the scientific research fund of the university's sponsored by the enterprise.

If you want to reward it again, it's not that the school can't get the money, but it can't find the name to give it again. At most, some compensation will be given in other places, such as exemption from the management fee of scientific research funds.

However, Lu Zhou actually understands this, and he can't expect the school to pay for his scientific research results for a lifetime, not to mention that he is about to graduate.

However, when Director Lu mentioned this, he suddenly remembered it.

The subject he applied for when he was young seems to be the Polygnac conjecture.

The results of the certification have been published, and the final report should be written and sent for delivery.

But here's the problem.

He doesn't seem to have spent much of the 1.6 million yuan in scientific research funds......
