From the little girl's reaction, Lu Zhou could probably guess what was going on.

Sighing softly, he cut off a piece of grilled ribs and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Poor boy ......"

The world has never been peaceful.

Just because he happened to be born in a peaceful country.

Try to stuff the contents of the plate into your mouth, as for what you really can't eat, Lu Zhou has no choice but to give up.

Looking at the remaining half of the ribs, he secretly said in his heart that he was sorry.

I knew that this thing was so large, I should have called Senior Brother Luo to eat it together.

As for the taste......

It's actually not bad.

Leaving the rib shop, the little episode was quickly put aside by Lu Zhou.

Back at the hotel, he began to organize his notes for the day.

However, at this moment, Lu Zhou's mobile phone suddenly rang.

pressed the connect button, and the voice of Old Tang immediately came from the other end of the phone, and two questions were thrown at him in a row.

"When do you plan to return home? Will you return to Jinda before the year? ”

Hearing these two questions, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and quickly understood why Old Tang asked this question, so he coughed dryly and said, "It's New Year's Day soon, and I plan to go home directly." ”

For Lu Zhou's answer, Old Tang didn't seem surprised, smiled and said, "You're not coming back?" We're waiting for this award to give you. ”

Lu Zhou: "Awards? ”

Old Tang smiled and said: "Aren't you studying for a master's degree, this year's Person of the Year can also be evaluated once." You don't need to write any material like last year, just go on stage and receive an award. ”

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said with a smile: "This...... Let's give it to others who need it more, I've already taken it once! I won't rob it with the seniors! ”

The annual figure and special scholarship of Kim University are still very valuable in China.

Take this thing, as long as the major is basically right, you basically don't have to worry about finding a job, and you are rushing to get it from any company.

He has even won international awards such as the Cole Prize, and he is naturally not as interested in this person of the year as he was last year.

Old Tang: "You really don't want to?" ”

Lu Zhou: "No need! ”

Old Tang smiled, didn't insist, and said, "That's okay...... You're about to graduate, and I'll give you a million bonus, I feel sorry for the school! Don't do it, don't do it, I've got your back. ”

"Poof!"

Lu Zhou, who was drinking water, almost squirted out a mouthful of water.

Patting his chest and coughing dryly several times, he hurriedly said, "How much?" ”

Old Tang smiled and said, "What, how much? You're not coming, and you're asking what this scholarship is for. ”

Lu Zhou asked: "Isn't the special scholarship only more than 10,000?" What's the deal with a million? ”

"Other people's scholarships are 10,000, yours is 1 million," Old Tang said with a smile, "This is a decision made by discussion in the school, and I also listened to Dean Qin." ”

Lu Zhou: "......"

After Lu Zhou didn't speak for a long time, Old Tang smiled and put down the thermos cup in his hand.

After a pause, he sighed and said earnestly: "You kid changes too fast, but there is one thing that hasn't changed, that is, you love money too much!" It's not a bad thing to love money, you can't do scientific research without money, and you can't marry a wife...... But you have to remember that in the face of money, you must have a rod and scale in your heart, otherwise, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss. ”

"I got it, teacher!" Receiving the kindness of the old professor, Lu Zhou said with a serious face, "The academic conference will end on the 23rd, but if the organization needs me, I will fly back immediately!" ”

"You kid," Old Tang shook his head with a smile, paused and continued, "It's okay, you continue to finish this meeting." It's not a big deal to postpone the selection of the Person of the Year for two days, anyway, it's all before New Year's Day, and President Xu and I can react. ”

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "The teacher, the 1 million...... Anything else? ”

"Yes!"

It's not the same as last year.

Before winning the Chern's Mathematics Award and the Cole Prize, Lu Zhou won the Jinda Special Award was gold-plated, but now Lu Zhou, who is now well-known in the world, will not gild himself again, but to gild the special award of Jinda and the school emblem of Jinda!

Just as Einstein was not an honor for Einstein to win the Nobel Prize, but an honor for the Nobel Prize.

A school-level honor is already dispensable for Lu Zhou, so in order to invite Lu Zhou back to receive the award, it is reasonable for the school to increase the amount of the scholarship "a little bit".

Even, postponing the award by two days to match his schedule is not a problem.

……

It's been a week since I arrived in California, and two days before Christmas, the academic conference has finally come to an end.

As is customary, the conference also presented the award for the best young speaker.

The winner, a French professor in his thirties, gave a presentation on a breakthrough in the field of partial differential equations.

Due to time conflicts, Lu Zhou unfortunately missed this report meeting. However, judging from the downloaded papers, the level of this speaker is indeed worthy of this award.

In addition to this, there is a Best Speaker Award for all presenters.

The award was also presented to Professor Hurfgot.

His research in the field of Goldbach's conjecture and the proof of conjecture b will become one of the most eye-catching research results in the field of number theory this year.

If it weren't for the fact that this old gentleman had already won the Cole Award, maybe Lu Zhou would be a little hanging this year.

Although the weight of the "Best Speaker Award" is dispensable for the old gentleman, after all, it means that his peers recognize his research results, and he still happily accepts it.

What's more, the bonus of $20,000 is not a small amount compared to his salary.

After attending the closing ceremony, Lu Zhou bought a ticket back to China.

Originally, he planned to land in Shanghai and then transfer to Jiangcheng and fly directly to Jiangcheng.

However, his alma mater warmly invited him back to receive the award, which was really warm, so he agreed.

Just when he used his knowledge of geometry to stuff everything into his suitcase as cleverly as possible, Xiaotong >

After pressing the connect button, Lu Zhou put his phone on the bedside table and turned on the hands-free.

In the video, Xiao Tong, who was wearing pajamas, was lying on the bed and kicking his calves boringly, yawning, and asked lazily.

"Brother, when are you coming back?"

It's night in the country, and it looks like the little guy has just fallen asleep.

While stuffing the chocolate he brought for his sister into the suitcase, Lu Zhou replied casually.

"I came back before New Year's Day, what's wrong?"

Xiaotong rolled his eyes and said, "Two good news, which one do you want to hear?" ”

"First in the class in the monthly exam?"

Xiao Tong's eyes widened in surprise, "Brother, you are simply ...... God! ”

Worthy of his sister, half of his talent.

Lu Zhou smiled, "At this point in time, apart from the monthly exam, what other good news can you have?" Say, what's the other piece of good news? ”

Xiaotong grinned and said, "Lao Ma asked me to ask you, do you want to go back to your alma mater to give a speech?" ”

Lu Zhou was speechless: "...... What's the good news? ”

Xiaotong: "Of course it's good news! Brother, are you going? ”

Lu Zhou was too lazy to go, but he still asked.

"You want me to go?"

Xiao Tong's eyes sparkled: "Yes!" ”

Unable to stand the expectant gaze, Lu Zhou sighed and smiled helplessly: "Then let's go." ”

Xiao Tong cheered, hugged the pillow and rolled a few times: "Yay! Dude, you're the best! ”

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

This little guy is smart because he has some skills, but he loves to show off a little.

Pretending to be forced is not a good habit, and it will be good when she can learn to keep a low profile.
