Chapter 512: Farewell to Princeton
It has been two days since the manuscript was donated to the Flint Library.
After contacting a local housekeeping company, Lu Zhou cleaned his villa from the roof to the floor.
Then, on the very third day, he sent out invitations to his mentors, friends, and acquaintances in Princeton to throw a lawn party in his home.
One is as a farewell to Princeton.
Second, I congratulated several of my students on their successful graduation.
Almost half of the Faifman, Edward Witten, and lifelong fellows at the entire Princeton School of Mathematics and Physics, including Professor Deligne and Dean Goddard, attended the party.
Because of his good popularity, Lu Zhou has a good relationship with everyone he has come into contact with.
It is precisely for this reason that after hearing the news of his intention to leave, many people expressed their retention.
“…… I remember more than 20 years ago, when I heard that Faltins was going back to Germany, I almost laughed out loud as I slept that night. But my friend, I feel sad to hear that you are going to leave. Touching a glass with Lu Zhou, Professor Peter Sanak's tone was full of regret as he said this.
As the former editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics and a leading figure in the field of number theory, when he was still the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics, he was one of the reviewers who reviewed Lu Zhou's proof of Goldbach's conjecture.
Compared to his old friend Faltins, Professor Sanak's most admired thing about Lu Zhou was probably humility.
Although he had a good relationship with Faltins, this did not mean that Faltins' arrogance would show mercy to his men.
Although he didn't have the opportunity to verify the truth in person, Lu Zhou still chose to believe that the "chess stalk" that is talked about in the mathematical community - "You-are-better-on-chess, but-I'm-a-much-better-mathematican." (Yours is a great chess player, but I'm better at mathemats), probably not for nothing.
Deligne: "Are you going back?" ”
Lu Zhou: "Hmm. ”
Unlike the others, Deligne didn't say anything to hold back, and after a pause, he spoke briefly, "My mentor...... Do you still keep the letter that Mr. Grothendieck gave you? ”
Lu Zhou: "Of course I still have it." ”
Deligne nodded, "Don't lose it." Give it back to me if you don't need it. ”
Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "...... How could I lose it. ”
It's just a shame to say that although his research involves many fields of mathematics, he has not made any major research results except for the most important branch, algebraic geometry.
When he needed his wits, he would consider a trip to France.
But, not now.
After staring at Lu Zhou for a while, Deligne slowly spoke: "I have taken many students, some of whom are gifted and some are average. If I had to rate you, your aptitude for mathematics is probably the highest I've ever seen, but it's also the most incomprehensible to me. ”
"Anyway, I hope you don't waste your talent. No matter what kind of research you are engaged in, I hope you can continue to move forward on the road of mathematics. ”
Lu Zhou nodded happily.
"That's for sure."
……
There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed.
As dusk draws closer, the farewell party comes to an end.
Over the next two days, several of his students received their diplomas and degree certificates. And Lu Zhou also took advantage of the time before he returned to China to solve the problem of further education or work for them by the way.
Actually, he didn't need his help at all, and several of his students were excellent.
As he put it, no matter which mathematical institute you go to, or what university you go to, it's unlikely that anyone will reject their resume.
In the end, under Lu Zhou's recommendation, Wei Wen finally decided to study for a doctorate under Edward Witten, and Witten gladly accepted this promising student. Although Wei Wen felt a lot of pressure due to his mentor's fame, he still accepted the challenge.
Jericho, as for himself, did not stay at Princeton. Materials science is not Princeton's strong major, and it is difficult for him to develop further as a researcher of computational materials science. So, on the recommendation of Lu Zhou, he finally chose to go to MIT to study for a doctorate.
As for the three graduated doctors, they have chosen to stay at the university.
In this way, Lu Zhou, who had the last thing on his mind, was finally able to embark on the journey home with ease.
After spending a few hours packing up what he was going to take away, Lu Zhou came downstairs with his suitcase and got into the Ford Explorer parked at the door.
At this time, it was Qin Yue who was sitting in the driver's seat.
Although when he usually goes to the airport, Lu Zhou usually bothers Jericho to help him drive.
But this time, Qin Yue offered to send him, and Lu Zhou naturally would not refuse.
Driving that Ford Explorer, Qin Yue sent him to the airport.
After getting out of the car, he walked to the back of the car and took out the trunk from the trunk.
Taking the suitcase from his student's hand, Lu Zhou nodded to him.
"Thank you."
Qin Yue: "You're welcome, this is what I should do." ”
Lu Zhou smiled and was about to say goodbye to his students.
But then, he suddenly remembered something, so he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a bunch of keys from it.
"By the way, I almost forgot something...... Then. ”
Looking at the key thrown into his hand, Qin Yue was slightly stunned.
“…… This is? ”
"The key to my house," Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I probably won't have much time to come here in the future, and I don't think I will have much chance to live." You're going to move out of your student apartment in a while, and I guess you haven't found a place to live. My house, please. ”
After staring at the bunch of keys in his hand for a while, Qin Yue suddenly said, "Can you tell me your bank card number?" ”
Lu Zhou: "What's wrong?" ”
Qin Yue said solemnly: "I'll put the rent on your card." ”
"No," Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile, "I don't lack that money, just help me clean my room when I have time." By the way, try not to touch my study and fireplace, and although I don't know when the next time I'll be here, I still hope that these two places will remain as they are. ”
Qin Yue nodded earnestly and wrote down this sentence.
"I see."
He didn't stay at the airport for too long, and after saying goodbye to Lu Zhou, Qin Yue turned around and returned to the car and drove towards the road outside the airport.
Seeing the Ford Explorer disappear from his field of vision, Lu Zhou smiled and waved his hand, then grabbed the grip of the suitcase and turned around and walked towards the entrance of the airport.
However, at this moment, not far from him, a familiar voice suddenly came.
"Lu Zhou—"
Hearing people call their names, Lu Zhou stopped.
When he looked back, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
I saw an unexpected figure, rushing towards this side.
Stopping in front of Lu Zhou, as if she had just experienced a long-distance run, Vera, who was panting softly, supported her knees with her hands, and a small drop of sweat slid down the ends of her golden hair and dripped to the ground.
I didn't expect her to appear here at all, looking at the little girl's panting appearance, Lu Zhou was surprised, "You...... Why did you come along? No, how did you get here? ”
"I ...... I am...... Do Train...... Come here. ”
Gasping for air, Vera explained in fits and starts.
Lu Zhou: "...... There's no need to see me off at the airport. ”
"I ...... No...... to deliver you. Just forgot to tell you that one piece ...... Very important, very important thing. ”
Looking at her panting appearance, Lu Zhou sighed.
"Isn't it the same in a phone call or email?"
However, what he didn't expect was that Vera, who had always been docile, became unexpectedly stubborn at this time.
"It's different!"
Taking a deep breath, Vera straightened up and straightened her somewhat messy hair.
I have to say, the timing is really bad.
At the very least, she should put on the prettiest dress in her closet, put on a little light makeup, and dress up a little.
However, there is no longer an opportunity to hesitate.
Or rather, she had been hesitating for too long......
The thin lips opened slightly, and a word was gently spat out.
"I ......"
Lu Zhou: "...... I? ”
If you continue to hesitate, you will never have a chance......
Taking a deep breath, Vera finally mustered up her courage and closed her eyes.
In a desperate voice, she shouted out the long-buried words as if cathartic.
"I like you!"
