From the airport, the convoy drove all the way to a five-star hotel in the city center.

This year's International Congress of Mathematics was held at the Imperial Hotel in Talen, St. Petersburg.

This is a five-star scenic hotel, quite close to the Hermitage Museum, Hermitage Square, the Bronze Horseman, the Peter Fortress of Alexander's Column, etc., which can be walked to within walking distance.

This is also the tradition of the location of the International Congress of Mathematicians, mathematicians prefer cities with beautiful scenery and rich cultural and historical atmosphere.

On the one hand, mathematicians mostly prefer this tune, and on the other hand, mathematicians are generally poorer than scholars in other professions.

Although most of the scholars who can attend such conferences receive subsidies from universities or their own institutions, mathematicians do earn less than physicists, chemists, and other scholars.

Including major awards, those top mathematics awards, such as the Fields Medal, the Gauss Medal, the Chern Shiingshen Award and most of the mathematics awards, their prize money is only about a few thousand to tens of thousands of meters of gold.

The main reason for this is the nature of mathematics.

Unlike other disciplines, it can directly and effectively transform its own capabilities into economic effects.

For example, chemists, materials scientists, an invention and a patent can sometimes eat for a lifetime.

Mathematics is very difficult, and if mathematics wants to make money, it can basically only go to the road of applied mathematics or economic mathematics.

That's why there are so many mathematicians on Wall Street.

For the group of capitalists on Wall Street, casually helping them make a mathematical model is an income of hundreds of thousands and millions of meters, which is a pie in the sky for mathematicians with a salary of only 100,000 yuan a year.

Therefore, the International Congress of Mathematics will prefer some cities with better cultural scenery, history and culture or tourism resources in terms of site selection.

After all, it's rare to go out once, and it's good to have a good time.

From Pulkovo First Airport to the Imperial Hotel in Talen in the center of St. Petersburg, it takes about an hour by car.

Xu Chuan was very interested in the scenery passing by the car window along the way.

It is completely different from the high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete in China, and the bricks and tiles here are very exotic, and its architectural styles cover a variety of styles such as Baroque, classicism, and modernism.

Almost every distance the convoy traveled, you could see buildings of a completely different style.

In the car, Mishustin, who was accompanying him, obviously noticed the situation here, and he smiled and said, "How do you feel here?" ”

Xu Chuan turned his head and praised with a smile: "It's a beautiful city, quite with its own style, very charming." ”

Mishustin laughed: "That's nature, St. Petersburg is one of the most culturally attractive cities in Tsarist Russia, there is a long history and culture here and many beautiful scenery, you can go out and walk around more, I believe it will fascinate you." ”

After a slight pause, the new general manager of Tsarist Russia squeezed his eyes at Xu Chuan, and continued: "In addition to the scenery, St. Petersburg is also one of the cities with the most beautiful girls, and there are many people who come here every year to find their marriage. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Professor Xu, you're still single, maybe you can get a good love this time?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan coughed a little crying and laughing.

No wonder Lao Maozi is quite open and straightforward, this is the first time we met, and I was still the president of a country, and I told him that this kind of thing is also 'open' enough.

For Mishustin, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

In fact, that's what they wanted.

According to the information, this does not seem to have a partner at present, if he can find a girlfriend in Tsarist Russia, for them, this is definitely a happy thing to see.

It would be better if he could use his girlfriend to bring this to Tsarist Russia.

If he takes it briefly, he may be able to leave an impression in the other party's heart, and then during the conference, the other party will more or less subconsciously think of these things in his heart.

For a politician, it is a good idea to ponder people's psychological activities.

Of course, they are not the only ones who have this kind of thought, even the United States, which has a strong competition with China, I am afraid that they also have this kind of thought.

However, it is a pity for all countries that this person has never been abroad since returning to China, and this kind of 'pimping' thing naturally has no chance.

The convoy arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Hotel in Tarun without any problems.

When I got out of the car, I saw a palace-style hotel with a Tsarist Russian style and a white whole.

Compared with the last International Mathematical Congress held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2018, the hotel provided to the invited guests at this time is much more luxurious.

On the one hand, there are many more sponsors of the International Mathematical Congress than the previous one, including Google and Apple, which are also sponsoring a sum of money to the IMU.

On the other hand, it was the support of the local government of St. Petersburg and Tsarist Russia.

And this aspect has something to do with Xu Chuan, because because of his arrival, China and Tsarist Russia have talked about a lot of cooperation of deep interests, so that it is normal to take a small part of the funds from it to improve the venue of the International Mathematical Congress, as well as more comprehensive security protection.

Of course, whatever the case may be, this is definitely a good thing for the mathematical community.

The theft at the last International Mathematical Congress in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is fresh in my mind, not only with the lost Fields Medals, but also with the wallets of many mathematicians who went out to play.

For a literate person like a mathematician, this is simply unbearable.

At the entrance of the hotel, a lady who looked quite like a Russian beauty walked up with a smile after seeing the arrival of the convoy.

Mishustin smiled and introduced: "Professor Xu, this lady is Nala Gloria, she is responsible for the management of daily affairs and daily communication, if you have any life needs during the International Mathematical Congress, you can contact her, she will help you arrange it." ”

I don't know why, Xu Chuan always feels that there is something in this Mishustin's words, and the word life is relatively heavier than other words.

But he didn't care too much, he was just a life assistant, and he didn't have nothing.

Smiling and nodding, he turned to look at Lady Nala Gloria, and stretched out his right hand to shake hands, only to find that the other side had opened his hands to hug him.

The two in different positions were stunned for a moment at the same time, but Ms. Nala Gloria on the other side quickly reacted, she blinked her big light blue eyes, and joked with a smile: "According to Huaguo, if you follow the customs, you should hug it." ”

Hearing this, Tang Ran, who was standing behind with his luggage, immediately took a deep look at the other party, but Xu Chuan, who was in front, didn't see this complicated look, and hesitated, but he still decided to respect the other party's traditional etiquette.

Fortunately, the other party didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just hugged him lightly and let go of his hand with a smile.

This made Xu Chuan quietly relieved, keeping his innocence and not worrying about not having a wife.

Although this lady Nala Gloria is indeed very beautiful, with a pair of blue eyes shining with Kazlan, he has no intention of looking for a wife abroad.

After all, he had heard that the beauties of Tsarist Russia aged very quickly, and they began to develop towards their aunts as soon as they were thirty years old.

But I have to say that the development of girls in Tsarist Russia is called a good.

Although it was just a courtesy hug, he felt like he was being attacked by physics + spirit at the same time, and the finch was terrifying!

After sending Xu Chuan to the hotel, Mishustin and the escorted convoy withdrew.

However, judging from the security guards standing guard in the streets around the hotel, and the security guards in the hotel who stood straight and obviously did not look like ordinary ones, as well as the detection equipment deployed at the door before entering the hotel, the Tsarist authorities must have deployed the security work here a long time ago.

This also made Xu Chuan let go of a lot of heart.

Of course, it wasn't just Russia's security deployment that reassured him.

There are also Zheng Hai and other people who came here with him, and the protection on the surface is still the personnel of the Huaguo Security Bureau who came in advance to make a step on the deployment.

The latter is undoubtedly more trustworthy than the deployment of the former.

It is believed that under the heavy protection of both Tsarist Russia and China, unless the country opposite is ready to completely tear its face, there are no elements who dare to come here to carry out terrorist activities.

After all, for any major country, the consequences and impact of this kind of 'forcible assassination' of well-known scholars from other countries are probably unprecedented.

Even if the third world war does not break out in a short period of time, scholars and even politicians in their own countries may encounter unlimited retaliation from the other side.

And once this trend evolves, no country can accept such consequences.

Following the waiter of the hotel to his room, Xu Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief, took off his coat and threw it on the bed.

In the room, Zheng Hai, who came with him, held a black box that looked like two round sticks inserted in his hand and swept around the room to check whether there were hidden cameras and listening devices in the room.

Although they have done this work before, it is not a hassle to check in and recheck every time they leave.

As for Tang Ran, who came with his luggage, he said while sorting out Xu Chuan's luggage: "Professor, if you can, it's better to stay away from that lady named Nala Gloria, if you have any needs and questions, just tell me directly." ”

Xu Chuan looked up at her in some surprise and asked curiously, "What's wrong, is there something wrong with her?" ”

Tang Ran thought for a moment and said: "The KGB professor in Tsarist Russia must have also heard of it, and in the KGB, "Swallow" and "Crow" are the code names of one of their special agents. ”

"The former is female, the latter is male, and they specialize in lurking behind the enemy's rear to lure those important personnel with beauty tricks to obtain and collect relevant information."

The KGB once teamed up with the East German spy agency Stasi to use the beauty of swallows and crows to lure single secretaries of European government departments to great success, known as the "secretarial offensive". ”

"Not only that, but many well-known figures during World War II fell for this trick, including the president of Indonesia and Western Asia, who fell into the hands of swallows."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan frowned and asked, "Which swallow do you suspect she is?" To tempt me to get information from me? ”

Tang Ran pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Although with the dissolution of Hongsu, the swallow and the crow have also disappeared, but it is not ruled out that Tsarist Russia has secretly retained this possibility, so I also hope that Professor Xu will keep some distance from her and don't easily believe her words." ”

Xu Chuan smiled and relaxed: "Don't worry, if she wants to get any confidential information from me, it's impossible, I still have this bit of integrity."

In the room, Zheng Hai, who was checking whether there was any monitoring and listening, couldn't help but laugh when he heard these conversations.

Judging from his eyes, there is a small probability that the lady named Nala Gloria is a swallow, but it is a bit like a European nobleman who has cultivated her.

Although it is certain that Tsarist Russia must have retained the means of obtaining information as 'swallows' and 'crows'.

But it's basically impossible to get any information from this person.

He preferred to believe that the lady named Nala Gloria had been sent by the Tsarist to try to 'seduce' Xu Chuan and unite with him.

After all, the information of this single person is clear to all countries, and if you can let this girl marry a girl from their country, there are still a lot of things and benefits that can be obtained.

Of course, he didn't say anything.

After all, from his point of view, despite the freedom of love, he still hopes that this person can marry a domestic girl.

For example, Liu Jiaxin, the senior sister of NTU, is actually a very good candidate.

Of course, there are also two assistants, Tang Ran and Lu Ling, which are actually very good.

The above changed the assistant selected by NTU at the beginning, but there was no idea of 'sending' his wife.

It's just a pity that, judging from the current observation, this one doesn't seem to have any feelings for these two assistants, but the one from NTU may still have some hope.

However, in the era of the 21st century, it is no longer the era of matchmaking.

Whoever this person wants to fall in love with, whether it is domestic or foreign, the above probably will not object.

Not to mention objecting, I'm afraid that even if he marries so many more, he will acquiesce.

After all, it would be a pity if this gene was not passed down.
