The dinner continued.

Because the chopsticks never stopped, Lu Zhou was already full in the middle of the time.

Because he couldn't stand the fact that Minister Grudev had been "close" to him, and the burning gaze of Academician Kaufman, Lu Zhou insisted for a while, and finally politely said that he needed to go to the bathroom, and then got up and left the table and slipped out of the banquet hall.

From the moment I stepped out of the ballroom, the cacophony suddenly faded away.

Lu Zhou slowly shook off to the bathroom, washed his face on the edge of the pool, and then walked to the balcony of the Purple Mountain Hotel.

Speaking of this hotel, he has been here many times, every year the annual meeting of Star Technology is held here, and if you go back further, I was invited to participate in a celebration banquet here when I was in college, so I am very familiar with the terrain here.

The open-air balcony on the fifth floor faces the foothills of the Purple Mountain, and if you catch the autumn evening, you can see the most pleasant scenery of the entire Purple Mountain Mountain, and you can see the golden yellow of the wildfire all over the mountain.

Unfortunately, it's already eight o'clock in the evening, and it's the most beautiful autumn October, and there is nothing left here except for the cool evening breeze to blow.

However, for Lu Zhou, who just wanted to avoid the hot atmosphere in the banquet hall and find a place to spend time, it was enough.

Finding a seat everywhere and sitting down, the hotel waiter standing at the door saw him and quickly walked over with a menu.

"Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"A cup of hot mocha."

"Okay," the waiter nodded, scribbling down on the menu, but just as he was about to say the second half of the sentence, "Please wait," a slightly jerky Chinese phrase floated from the side.

"A cup of Tequira Sunrise."

With long pale blonde hair scattered over her well-fashioned shoulders, a Russian girl in a bohemian dress naturally sat opposite Lu Zhou, looked at the waiter standing next to her, and smiled and reminded, "Don't forget to add ice." ”

Although Jinling in November has not yet entered winter, the evening breeze on the balcony is still mixed with a bit of biting coolness. At this time, choosing to drink cold drinks is really a bit unusual.

"Good...... Stunned, the waiter glanced at Lu Zhou, and saw that Lu Zhou didn't seem to object, and then nodded woodenly, "Please wait, two." ”

With that, he put away the menu in his hand and turned to walk in the direction of the bar on the side of the balcony.

Looking at the strange lady sitting across from him, Lu Zhou thought that she should be part of the Russian delegation. Just as he was about to ask her and other names, a smile curled up at the corner of the lady's mouth, and he spoke in Chinese, which was not very proficient but the words were quite clear.

"It seems that it's not just one person who can't stand the atmosphere of the banquet."

Lu Zhou: "Are you?" ”

"Victoria, who accompanied my father on the mission to visit this beautiful country," said the blonde lady with her right hand and a slight smile, "nice to meet you." ”

Although he felt that this person probably knew himself, out of politeness, while shaking hands with her, Lu Zhou still reported himself to the door and said something.

"Lu Zhou, professor of mathematics."

As if amused by Lu Zhou's statement, Victoria ran her index finger around the hair of her sideburns and asked in a teasing tone, "Just a math professor?" ”

Lu Zhou made a helpless expression: "Of course, I also study physics...... and chemistry. ”

Lady Victoria curled the corners of her mouth, "You're really humorous. The meaning behind the name is not just as simple as teaching mathematics and studying physical chemistry. ”

"Really? Maybe......" Looking at the waiter who came over with a tray, Lu Zhou reminded him and said, "The cocktail you ordered has arrived." ”

"Thank you," took the cocktail from the tray of the waiter next to her, and after Victoria elegantly lifted the glass and took a sip, she put it aside, "My Chinese is not very good, I only learned it three months ago." ”

Lu Zhou: "It's good to be able to master this level in three months. ”

For Russians, it is not easy to master Chinese grammar, and it is not only good to be able to master this level in three months, even if it is not too much to call it a genius.

It can be seen that this lady Victoria is not a vase, but in addition to her beautiful appearance, she has also received an excellent education.

At the same time that Lu Zhou was looking at her, Lu Zhou, who she was also observing, did not show this point very obviously, but like an old friend who knew him well, she naturally chatted with him.

"Am I being complimented by a genius?"

"Genius? Me? Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head, "I'm not a genius, I just spend a little more time than others." ”

There is also a brain domain that has been systematically developed.

But this can be regarded as an acquired transformation, probably not innate.

Victoria pursed her lips and smiled, "You are too modest, you have achieved a height that many people cannot reach in a lifetime, and this is not just something that can be achieved by spending a little more time than others. ”

Lu Zhou: "Maybe, but who can say what will happen in the future?" ”

Viktoria smiled and said, "I studied economics and trade at Moscow University, and I took some mathematics courses. In advanced functional analysis courses, it is not uncommon to hear our professors compliment you on your mathematical achievements. This is unusual in Russia, where we in general rarely praise others mathematically. ”

Lu Zhou: "Studied mathematics? ”

"I can't talk about research, but I have learned a thing or two...... Are you surprised? The expression on Lu Tao's face, who was observing, said with the corners of her mouth curled.

Lu Zhou nodded: "I'm really a little surprised, I didn't expect to meet someone who has a common language here." ”

"I'm glad to hear you say that, and I'm curious about what you're working on...... Or in other words, it's curious what is it that can bother you as a genius so much," picking up the wine glass and touching Lu Zhou's coffee cup lightly, Viktoria pressed her red lips and took a sip of the cocktail, looking at him with rolling eyes and said, "Maybe we can talk about this in depth." ”

Are you sure?

Want to know what I'm working on?

Although Lu Zhou has no opinion, anyway, there are still two hours before the end of the banquet, even if he is idle at this time.

Looking at the eyes that were "full of curiosity", Lu Zhou smiled a little shyly and said gentlemanly.

"It's an honor."

……

Grudev, of course, knew that Academician Lu didn't want to hear him.

The character of most scholars is like this, there is something to talk about, nothing to shut up. Especially those who are engaged in theoretical research, although there are some outdoor sports enthusiasts, most people have the potential of otaku in their bones, and they can't talk to "superficial people" by nature.

As a former diplomat, Grudev still has the ability to read words, as for why he knows this, and he still takes the trouble to ignore Lu Zhou, who doesn't want to talk to him at all......

Does this need to be asked?

If he doesn't, how will he create a chance for his lovely little daughter, Victoria?

He swore that it was definitely not an act of betraying his daughter.

From the perspective of a father, Professor Lu, although a foreigner, is definitely a qualified husband, at least more qualified than those Muscovites who drink heavily all day long. It just so happens that his youngest daughter, who is studying in college, does not have a suitable partner, if he can create an opportunity for the two of them to promote this marriage that witnesses the friendship between the two countries, why not do it as a father?

However......

Things often don't go as smoothly as planned.

Although he thinks that he has calculated perfectly, he still underestimates someone's incomprehension after all......

After the banquet, Victoria walked into the hotel room with a tired face.

Looking at the tired look on his daughter's face, the corners of Grudev's mouth twitched with some distress, but he still couldn't hold back the urgency in his heart and asked what he was most concerned about.

"How? Have you met Lu Zhou? ”

Victoria: "Went to the balcony and had a drink together." ”

Grudev looked happy, quickly coughed quietly, and continued to ask.

"The result?"

"Riemann Zeta Function ......"

What?

What's that?

Grudev was slightly stunned and frowned.

"Riemann...... What is it? ”

Victoria smiled weakly and said exhaustedly, "He talked to me about the Riemann zeta function for three hours, and at last he had an idea, so he left me there and walked away...... The only thing to be commended for is that he paid for me before leaving. ”

If you hadn't experienced it yourself, you wouldn't have been able to imagine how tingling it was. It's obviously a topic that I'm not interested in, but I still have to put on a look of interest and listen to that person talk endlessly in his own world.

Doesn't he know what to talk about movies or music?

Although I'm quite satisfied with his appearance, it's a pity that my face can't be eaten, and I'm sure I'll collapse when I interact with this kind of person......

Grudev: "......"

Looking at her father without love, Victoria said weakly, "Dad, do I look ugly?" ”

Grudev opened his mouth, and after a while he spoke, he said: "No, child, you are as beautiful as your mother...... I'm referring, of course, when she was younger. ”

"For the first time, I had doubts about my own charm."

With a skeptical look on her face, Victoria stared at the ceiling and muttered to herself.

Not knowing how to comfort his daughter, Grudev sighed.

"Maybe his vision is too high......"

It's a shame that it didn't work out, but it's something that can't be helped.

It may be like the saying of Huaguo.

There is really no fate between the two of them, right......
