In the end, in the face of the rumbling and protesting stomach, Lu Zhou still made a concession and decided not to think about what happened to his takeaway, and licked the takeaway with three strikes and five divisions by two.

I have to say that braised chicken rice is simply the conscience of the fast food industry.

The plump rice is soaked in golden broth, and a big bite is full of satisfaction for both the taste buds on the tip of the tongue and the stomach belt in the belly.

Well, to sum up in a word.

It smells so good!

Just when Lu Zhou finally ate this hot dinner, Xiao Tong, who was far away at Oxford University, was looking at the mathematical model and the algorithm sent to him by his brother with a confused face.

Don't worry about the memes in the email......

This mathematical model simply subverted her understanding of mathematical tools such as functional analysis and statistical principles, and even more completely subverted her understanding of the Bewley model.

It's hard to describe the shock.

It was as if she had thought that what was in the room was all there was to the subject, but in front of her was a door open, and behind the door was a whole new world.

What struck her even more was that it was likely all done in less than an hour......

Footsteps could be heard outside the office.

With two knocks on the door, a woman who looked about thirty years old pushed open the door and walked in.

She was wearing a white, gray and black business attire, and her shoulder-length bob looked very capable of a professional woman.

And in fact, it is true, her name is Ansley, and she is also doing research under Professor Foster, because she has obtained a master's degree and started her doctoral career the year before last, so she can be regarded as Xiaotong's senior sister.

"Tong, Professor Foster asked me to ask you, can you turn in your paper before the Christmas break is over?"

Xiao Tong, who was still staring at the computer screen and had not yet recovered from the shock, Mu Mu nodded.

"Can ......"

Don't say it's okay.

As long as the content of the paper is sorted out and submitted within two days, she can even make time to go back for New Year's Day......

If only you could still buy a plane ticket now.

"Is it possible?" Ansley looked at her in surprise and muttered in a low voice, "He also asked me to ask you in particular, if you really can't solve it, you can also consider this topic as a doctoral research topic......

Sobering up from the previous shock and hearing the hint in his senior sister's words, Xiao Tong hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Thank you, Professor Foster, for your kindness, although I intend to continue in the academic direction, but it is ...... I still want to go to a higher place. ”

In fact, even without Ms. Ansley's hints, Xiaotong could feel it, and Professor Foster didn't want her to leave his office.

If she plans to leave academia and pursue a career in industry, it is fine, but if she continues to develop in academia and plans to continue her studies for a PhD, Professor Foster has hinted to her more than once before this, asking her to fill in her name when filling out the application.

As for the reason......

It's so simple that she doesn't even need to guess to know it, it must be because of her brother......

Seeing that Xiaotong was still refusing, Dr. Ansley sighed and tried to convince.

"But I really think that Professor Forster has done a very good job in the direction of macroeconomics, not to mention the situation in our industry, you also know that many times the difference is not in the ability itself, but only in the opportunity he lacks."

Looking at the senior sister who was chattering and persuading her, Xiao Tong took a deep breath, interrupted her and said, "Do you know Lu Zhou? He's my brother. ”

The chatter came to an abrupt end.

The office was quiet for a few seconds.

"I ...... I know," Ansley opened her mouth and shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "I admit that you have an enviable older brother who is much better than my brother who dropped out of school in the middle of college and stayed in Huaguo to learn to make pancakes, but why is our topic on him?" ”

Didn't answer the question immediately, as if complaining, Xiaotong said.

"As long as I walk on the campus of Oxford, people will point at me and say, look, that's Lu Zhou's sister. Even councillors and princesses greet me like this when they come here......"

Taking a deep breath, she looked up at the ceiling, rolled her eyes, and continued, "And those fake suitors, I'm going to vomit when I hear what they say. ”

Not only at Oxford University, but also when I was at Jinling University.

Although she didn't speculate with malice about those who approached her, or those overtures for no reason, it was all too easy and too inexplicable.

Just because her brother is Lu Zhou, her life is like a cheat, as long as she applies for a scholarship, she will definitely be evaluated, and if there are any exchange opportunities in the school, as long as she registers, she will definitely be selected.

If you want to go to Oxford University for a master's degree, it is just a matter of a letter of recommendation, and almost all professors will rush to ask for her, or at least have no reason to reject her.

This is certainly good.

She hasn't been pretentious enough to be good or bad.

However, although she is very, very grateful for everything her brother has done for her, from childhood to now, she does not want to live under his feathers for the rest of her life.

Although this seems to be good, if this is the case, she will never be able to truly grow, let alone realize the value of her life.

And that's not the life she longed for.

Looking at the senior sister who made this statement, Ansley opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak for a while.

Suddenly, she even had the illusion that the junior sister standing in front of her was so strange, as if she didn't look like her, but someone else.

After a long silence, she spoke in an uncertain tone.

"Perhaps...... Are you too sensitive? ”

Staring at Ansli intently, Xiao Tong said in an affirmative tone.

"I'm sure not, as if Professor Foster wanted me to stay with him for a master's degree, was it really because he recognized my work? Not! He would even forget my name, but he would never forget my brother's name. ”

“…… I want to make a result, to make enough results to make others look at me differently, at least in the future, when someone introduces me, they will not put 'Lu Zhou's sister' as a medal or an academic title in front of my doctorate, or remember my name by mistake or even forget my name, but call me equally, or Xiaotong! ”

Looking at her determined-eyed junior sister, Ansley knew that it was useless for her to say anything, she had already decided to leave here.

In fact, to put it in my heart, in addition to the envy in my heart, after listening to this speech, she even faintly admired this little girl in her twenties.

However, there is one thing she doesn't understand, where is the so-called higher place?

Could it be that if you change places, can it make any difference?

At least in England, at least in economics, which is closely associated with mathematics, even if he leaves Oxford and goes to Cambridge, the situation will not be much better.

"But...... Where are you going to go other than Oxford? ”

"Princeton!"

Looking at Ms. Ansley, who was surprised, Xiaotong said in a voice without thinking.

"I hope that one day, I can be like him and leave my name in the Hall of Fame there!"
