Director Lu really didn't lie to him, and the last award of the million-dollar check was the last time. After that time, although the discussion about this matter on the Internet was still fermenting, no media entered the school and disturbed his daily life.

Later, Lu Zhou learned that the school had actually helped him block a lot of interviews, including several media that interviewed him some time ago, all of which were regular media with discipline, and many small media and freelance journalists could not enter the door of the school if they wanted to.

After all, a campus is a place to learn.

Proper publicity can help to enhance the school's popularity and expand the school's student base, but if you don't grasp a degree, it will disturb the tranquility of the campus and spread a positive academic style. On this point, the school leaders still have a rod and scale in their hearts.

On Saturday, Lu Zhou went to ICBC and cashed the check for one million yuan under the personal reception of the president of the ICBC branch.

Sent away those who sold insurance and wealth management products, Lu Zhou quickly left the bank. Until Didi sat at the door, he didn't fully come back to his senses, but felt that his whole person was fluttering, as if he was in a dream.

He had never been so rich.

So much so that he suddenly had so much money, he didn't know how to spend it.

Anyway, save it first?

After getting off the bus at the school gate, Lu Zhou took out his mobile phone for the Nth time, looking at the string of zeros in the transfer text message, his heart pounding violently.

“…… One million is in hand, so there are only four million left to meet the conditions of task two. ”

After a few silent recitations, Lu Zhou put his phone back in his pocket and walked towards the snack street at the school gate.

I casually found a small bowl of restaurants to solve lunch, and when he crossed the school gate, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Remembering the phone call Professor Tang gave him yesterday, he went to the laboratory building before going back to the dormitory building and found Tang's office.

knocked on the door, and heard a "please come in" inside, Lu Zhou pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing the visitor, Professor Tang smiled and teased: "You kid has been having a pretty chic time these days." ”

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "Teacher, don't make fun of me, I'm almost annoyed......"

The two graduate students in the office who were working on a project rolled their eyes in unison and decided to ignore the thing.

Bother?

Then give me a million and let me worry about you!

Typical cheap and obedient, it's too hateful!

Picking up the thermos cup and taking a sip of hot tea, Professor Tang said with a smile: "Oh? I think you're quite happy, and you're going to enter the entertainment industry next? ”

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and decided not to speak.

"Okay, I still have class in a while, so I won't talk to you about anything else, let's get down to business." Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't speak, Old Tang didn't continue to tease, paused for a moment, and continued, "I have an invitation letter here, which was sent by Princeton University, and there will be an international academic conference on number theory research held in Princeton in February next year, and you will be invited to give an academic report on the research results. ”

Lu Zhou was stunned and said in confusion: "Academic conference? ”

Professor Tang smiled and said, "That's right. Academic progress lies in communication, and this kind of international mathematics conference, having the opportunity to participate as much as possible, is only good for your personal development. In particular, this conference is still quite influential in the field of international number theory, and you are the first undergraduate student in our school to receive an academic report from this conference, so take advantage of this opportunity. The school will reimburse you for your round-trip air ticket and room and board expenses, so you can go with confidence! ”

Even if you take this opportunity to communicate with your peers, the harvest is great.

Taking the written invitation from Professor Tang's hand, Lu Zhou nodded.

"Then I'll go back and get ready."

"Just take out your paper and make a simple speech, just be concise and to the point. The focus is on the QA link later, it is estimated that many research colleagues are full of questions, ready to ask you questions in the question session, you have to prepare for this! Professor Tang admonished.

"Got it...... So, I'll go back first? Lu Zhou nodded.

"Don't be in a hurry, there's one more thing," Professor Tang smiled, paused for a moment, and continued: "Secretary Liu is going to recommend you to be selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in China. Regardless of whether it is selected in the end or not, at least it is a nomination. ”

Top 10 Outstanding Youths of China!

Lu Zhou's pupils shrank slightly.

He had heard of this "Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons of China" selection activity, which was said to be creatively planned by the Chinese Youth Federation and co-sponsored by ten major news units, aiming to recommend young talents and set up a model for the times, as if it had only been selected for more than ten years......

Its influence is tied with the May Fourth Youth Medal!

Lu Zhou held his breath, his heartbeat accelerated for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.

First of all, just a proof of Zhou's conjecture can be worthy of this award, and there is still a question mark. After all, this award is not for the field of scientific research, but for the selection of the whole industry and all fields in the country, and the review criterion is social contribution.

Moreover, as a political capital, the selection of such awards is often not as simple as it seems on the surface.

If he comes back with a Fields Medal, there is some hope.

Secondly, there is no gratuitous gifting.

If the last time Secretary Liu came to the school to ask for warmth, it was to show the importance that municipal work attaches to education and scientific research personnel. This time, he suddenly elected himself to select the top ten outstanding young people in China, I am afraid that it is not as simple as it seems.

Thinking of this, the heat in Lu Zhou's heart faded a little.

He has never had any doubts about his own intelligence.

But......

He is still somewhat self-aware of emotional intelligence.

Lu Zhou didn't give a reply, just smiled and asked respectfully, "Teacher, what is your opinion?" ”

Professor Tang smiled and said, "My opinion? It depends on where you want to go in the future. If you plan to enter politics and develop in the system in the future, this is an opportunity, and Secretary Liu may be a noble person in your career. If the development is good, there will be no problem in mixing with the big representatives in the future. How far you can go in the future depends on your personal opportunities. ”

Lu Zhou was silent.

Professor Tang was not in a hurry, and sat there drinking tea.

After a long while, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled and shook his head: "I'm a scumbag who has been on the edge of the passing line all year round, I'm afraid I'm not the material for this bowl of rice." ”

Although for the child of a worker whose father works within the system, this offer is quite tempting. Confusing. If he can seize this opportunity and become the president of the university and even the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, coupled with his black technology system, he may not be able to walk out of a different sunny road.

But Lu Zhou feels that people are valuable in self-knowledge.

And he felt that he was used to doing what he wanted, and that life within the system was not necessarily what he wanted.

"It seems that you kid is quite self-aware, I don't think you seem to be able to do this piece of material," Professor Tang smiled and put the thermos cup on the desk, looked at Lu Zhou nodded approvingly, and said earnestly, "Since you have made a decision, then push it away, remember to be tactful when refusing." ”

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said with a smile: "The student is only shallow, and he is not enough to bear this honor...... Is it okay to reply like this? ”

Professor Tang smiled and nodded, and only replied with one word: "Wonderful." ”
