Chapter 631 The Elder's Call
"To be honest, every time the teacher said that he was chatting and laughing with Professor Lu at Princeton, I always thought he was bragging! I didn't expect it to be true!" In the office building of the mathematics department of a university in Shanghai, two students kept talking from time to time.
Looking towards the office at the end of the corridor, one of them said with envy.
"Calculate the time, when Professor Hu went to Princeton to be an exchange scholar, Professor Lu happened to be an exchange student there. Princeton is not big and there are even fewer Chinese people. It is not surprising that the two have some intersection!" another student answered.
He said, "I didn't expect that Professor Lu still remembers Professor Hu after so many years!"
"Yes, the gap in academic status between Professor Hu and Professor Lu is probably greater than the age gap between them, right?" The person who spoke at the beginning agreed, "And I saw that when Professor Lu came in just now,
, his attitude was extremely kind, and he even took the initiative to pay Professor Hu a favor! He was not as arrogant as we imagined at all!"
"With his current status, it doesn't matter whether he is arrogant or not!" He sighed, hey, at the same age of 27 or 28, he could only study with Professor Hu, but others already looked up to Professor Hu.
exists, the gap between this person and other people is really huge!
"Shh, don't talk, Professor Lu is here!" Hearing the footsteps, he quickly stopped his classmates. At the same time, he guessed in his mind that this time Professor Lu came just to say hello, right?
"Let's go! The local dishes in our school hotel are very authentic! This time I will definitely have two drinks with Professor Lu!" However, the result was beyond his expectation. Professor Hu's face was so red that he brought Lu with him.
Qiu Jian walked out of the office and whispered as he passed by the two of them, "Go and call the principal's office and tell him that I have left Professor Lu for dinner! Ask him to come to the school hotel as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I guess Professor Hu's retirement application will be rejected again!" Today's students are no longer the hothouse flowers in the ivory tower who don't care about the world. They know very well that Professor Hu can talk to Lu Qiujian alone.
For this reason, the school will never let him retire early!
"This is a good thing for us!" The more attention teachers receive, the more resources they will receive from the school, which will naturally be of great benefit to students like them.
"I'll make a call right now!" He hummed as he took out his cell phone from his pocket and started dialing. It would be great if we could have a few words with Professor Lu later! The teacher is eating inside, so he must greet him outside.
.Maybe when Professor Lu asks about the teacher’s current situation, he will let himself in and have a chat with Professor Lu! What should I discuss with Professor Lu then? Is it partial differentials or topology?
However, his hope was destined to be dashed. Lu Qiujian and Professor Hu were stopped as soon as they walked downstairs. An ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked up to Lu Qiujian and said, "Professor Lu, I take the liberty of disturbing you."
!”
"Who are you?" Lu Qiujian glanced at Bai Yaoran and saw him mouthing a famous surname. Lu Qiujian immediately understood the identity of the visitor.
"I am Lang Fei from the Elder's Office." The visitor replied politely, with a hint of reserve and pride in his own unit.
"Oh, it turns out to be Director Lang! Nice to meet you!" Lu Qiujian stretched out his hand and shook it gently. The other party had come here, and there must be a purpose. He asked directly, "I don't know what I have."
Where can I help you?"
"That's it!" Lang Fei glanced at Professor Hu. He subconsciously took a few steps back to leave room for the two of them to talk. "You also know that the elder cares about you very much. He wanted to talk to you before.
I met you last time, but you were very busy at work. The elder is old and not suitable for running around, so he has been regretting it until now. Now that I heard that you have come to Shanghai, those of us who serve the elders are...
I would like to invite you to meet and chat with the elder!"
"Thank you for your concern, elder! I received a call from the elder when I won the Fields Medal. After returning to China, I have always wanted to come and say thank you, but unfortunately I have never had the right opportunity! This is what I was thinking about when I came to Shanghai this time.
.But I’m afraid of disturbing the elder’s purity!” Since the other party talks like this
You're welcome, Lu Qiujian doesn't mind sending a few compliments! Besides, although the elder has retired, he still has a say in some major issues. It is not without benefit to meet and communicate with him. Lu Qiujian immediately responded.
came down. “I wonder when it’s convenient for me to come?”
"I know you are going to attend the premiere the day after tomorrow. How about I pick you up at the hotel early tomorrow morning?" Lang Fei also knew his schedule clearly.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the hotel early in the morning!" Lu Qiujian nodded immediately and agreed.
"Then I won't disturb you anymore!" After saying that, Lang Fei immediately waved goodbye. After he disappeared in the car, Professor Hu walked back to Lu Qiujian, silently thinking in his heart that Qian Xuesen's treatment at the beginning was probably nothing more than this.
Right? The little guy I met at Princeton a few years ago has unknowingly become the most influential person in the Chinese scientific community!
The appearance of the staff in the elder's office made Professor Hu understand Lu Qiujian's current status more clearly, and his mood became better and better! Did you see that the elder would take the initiative to invite everyone to praise me?
He was highly respected! He wanted to hold a banquet in the hall so that everyone in the school could see his relationship with Lu Qiujian.
After dinner and declining Professor Hu's offer to stay, Lu Qiujian returned to the hotel and began to think about what would be appropriate to talk about when meeting the elders tomorrow and what to prepare for the premiere. He didn't fall asleep until late at night.
Early the next morning, Lang Fei came to the hotel to pick up Lu Qiujian and walked around to a building that looked unremarkable on the outside. When he entered, the elder was already waiting in the living room.
Seeing Lu Qiujian come in, he stood up tremblingly and recited two lines of poetry, "Now I am 'too weak to welcome guests, and my eyesight is too short to read.' But now that Professor Lu has come to the magic city
Yes, I want to meet you no matter what!"
"You are too modest! People all over the country are wishing you a long and healthy life. I see you are still in good health now!" Lu Qiujian quickly helped him sit down. It turns out that the elder really loves to recite poetry! But these two sentences
The sentence from Lu You's "Qiu Xing" is really suitable to be used here! The versatility of the elders is indeed not an exaggeration!
"Well, I wouldn't have cared about these things before! But now I really want to live a few more years!" The elder looked at Lu Qiujian and said. (To be continued.)
