Chapter 874: Carry Me
Lu Zhou didn’t have to wait for long.
He even began to wonder if this guy had even thought about it or not.
The moment the words left Lu Zhou’s mouth, Luo Wenxuan nodded excitedly and replied, “Yes!”
“I think this has potential... A lot of potential!
“We might even discover a new physics theory!”
Regardless of what the real situation was, this clue was worth pursuing by any theoretical physicist.
Even if Lu Zhou didn’t invite him to work together, he would have pursued this clue on his own. But now this Nobel Prize and Fields Medal big name was asking him to work together, he obviously had no reason to refuse.
In fact, he was more than happy to coborate!
Lu Zhou looked at the sh of excitement in Luo Wenxuan’s eyes, and he was a little startled.
After realizing that Luo Wenxuan wasn’t joking, Lu Zhou spoke.
“Then I’ll begin by giving you work... You’ll be responsible for working on the theoretical physics side. I’ll be working on the Riemann zeta function side.”
Even though Lu Zhou had dabbled in theoretical physics before, his research was more focused on the calctions side. Also, researching the Riemann zeta function took up the majority of his time, not to mention he was still the chief designer of the Lunar Orbit Committee. He just didn’t have any time to work on theoretical physics.
“Great...” Luo Wenxuan fist-bumped Lu Zhou and said, “You’re going to carry me.”
“What do you mean carry, you’re going to put your fair share as well!” Lu Zhou looked around the office and said, “Anyway... You n on making your office a theme park or what?”
Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, “I’m just decorating, haven’t you heard that quote from Einstein? Adding surprises to your life regtes your mood and can inspire you.”
Lu Zhou: “I’m certain Einstein has never said those words before.”
Luo Wenxuanughed and said, “Regardless of who said it, just remember that it’s true.”
Even though Luo Wenxuan seemed like an unreliable person at times, he was quite a talented individual.
After all, he was a student of Witten. Even though he took a long time to graduate, that was because Witten’s requirements were too tough, plus he was immature back then.
As for his academic achievements, he had four PLR and one Science published theses, which was impressive considering his age.
Not to mention that it was difficult to produce research results in the field of theoretical physics, as opposed to something like condensed matter physics. Even without his qualifications from Princeton and CERN, his experience alone could get him into the Changjiang Schrs Program.
Lu Zhou left Luo Wenxuan’s office and went back to his own office.
Compared to Luo Wenxuan’s office, his office still had an academic ambiance. His students and assistants were always working hard, at least when he was there.
However, even though the academic ambiance was richer, he felt like...
It wasn’t as dynamic as Luo Wenxuan’s office?
Lu Zhou sat at his desk and recalled what Luo Wenxuan said. He looked around his lightly-decorated office, thought for a second, then suddenly spoke.
“It’s the holidays.”
The office was unusually quiet.
No one seemed to know what Lu Zhou was trying to say, so they didn’t respond.
Lu Zhou paused for a second before asking, “Should we... decorate the office?”
Lu Zhou was asking for reassurance.
However...
The office still stayed quiet.
With no one responding to him, Lu Zhou felt a little embarrassed. He put his notebook into his drawer, packed his things, and went out to get some food instead.
However, the moment he stepped out of the door, the office was no longer quiet.
“Did I hear him correctly, Professor Lu wants to... decorate the office?” said a master’s student. Her eyes were wide open.
Sitting next to her was a graduate student wearing box-shaped sses, and he said, “Yeah, pigs are starting to fly! I didn’t expect Professor Lu to be the festive type.”
“That’s because you don’t know him well enough,” Lin Yuxiang said as she put down the pen in her hand. She proudly continued, “Even though Professor Lu doesn’t seem like he cares about the small things in life, after you get to know him, you’ll find out that he’s actually a fun and festive person.”
Kong Jie, who was nearby, rolled her eyes.
All you’ve done is brought him food.
Why are you making it sound like you’re very close to him?
However, the new female master’s student was gullible, and she asked curiously, “Like what?”
“Like when he’s ordering takeout.”
“Takeout... I’m worried about Professor Lu’s health, eating out all day is not good.”
“Yeah yeah, he should just find a girlfriend to cook for him.”
The three women began to gossip. One second they were talking about Professor Lu’s eating habits, the next second they were talking about Professor Lu’s type.
Zhao Huan, who was normally quiet, looked at the three girls chatting. She suddenly looked up and said, “Um...”
Lin Yuxiang looked at her and said, “What?”
Zhao Huan: “I feel like all the basic girls I know talk about Professor Lu’s type...”
Everyone: “...”
The conversation died.
The office became quiet again.
No one talked about Professor Lu’s type or ns on decorating the office.
Han Mengqi, who was sitting at her desk, didn’t participate in the conversation. She sighed and twirled the pen in her hand.
Speaking of which, it’s almost Christmas...
Even though she wasn’t a festive person, when she saw pictures of her friends with their boyfriends, she couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.
“So frustrating...”
Han Mengqi scratched her head and sighed.
Sometimes she didn’t know exactly what was frustrating, she just felt annoyed.
I wonder if sis will hang out with Lu Zhou on Christmas Day.
Even though this had nothing to do with her, she still wanted Chen Yushan to get with Lu Zhou. This way, Lu Zhou would be her brother-inw.
But when she thought about this, for some reason, she became even more frustrated...
