Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 510: I have been thinking about it for half a year
Princeton Advanced Institute, Dean's Office.
After the cleaning woman watered the spider plants on the windowsill, she wiped the dust off the glass windows.
With all the work done neatly, she lifted the bucket and walked outside the office.
Before leaving, she took a look at Professor Peter Sanak, who was sitting behind her desk, a little unexpectedly.
Although she didn't know much about academic matters, but for so many years, she saw for the first time that this always serious old man showed a distressed expression in front of people.
Of course, although he assumed the post of dean, it was only five or six years ago ...
Sitting at the desk for a while, the old man with white hair pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at the young man standing at the desk, and sighed softly.
"At the beginning of this year, someone proposed to include you in the team of lifelong researchers at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton. I know that it is not a good time to say this, but ... do you really stop thinking about it?
Each research institute at the Princeton Institute has a small, life-long research team. The scholars who make up this team are the world's best scholars, and their research is also the most cutting-edge research in various fields.
In academia, the status of a lifelong researcher at Princeton Advanced Institute means not only the guarantee of research funding and living standards, but also the highest honor.
At present, there are only ten lifelong researchers in the School of Mathematics, and Lu Zhou's tutor, Professor Pierre Deligne, is one of them. If he stays here, maybe it will be this year if he is fast, or two or three years if he is slow, and he will be the eleventh.
but……
Lu Zhou shook his head and said softly.
"I have been thinking about it for six months."
Before receiving the Nobel Prize, the resources he could obtain in China were far less than Princeton's. After receiving the Nobel Prize, the resources he could receive in Princeton were far from what he could obtain in China. The support is comparable.
There is nothing wrong with saying that he is selfish. After all, when he is doing multiple-choice questions, he really considers the "best choice" as the starting point.
After hearing what Lu Zhou said, Dean Peter Goddard said nothing, opened the drawer, and took out an application form from it.
"Really? Now that you have considered it, I have nothing to say. Serve the country, serve the world ... this is the school motto of Princeton. I think your choice is correct."
Putting this application form on the desk gently, Dean Peter Goddard seemed to put down the burden, leaned back to the chair and watched Lu Zhou continue.
"In addition to the position of a researcher at the Princeton Advanced Institute, there is also a faculty position at Princeton University ... I guess you should come back this time with the intention of resigning."
Lu Zhou: "Yes, I will go to Nassau Hall in a while."
Dean Goddard said with a smile: "Remember to say hello to Professor Isgrub for me."
Picking up the application form from the table, Lu Zhou nodded slightly.
"I will."
After leaving Dean Goddard's office, Lu Zhou did not stop too much at the Institute of Advanced Studies and went straight to Nassau Hall at Princeton University.
Compared to Dean Goddard's reluctance, President Isgrob's response was relatively mild, or rather calm.
After listening to Lu Zhou's willingness to resign, he didn't say much, and took out a form with the same specifications from the drawer.
"... Remember about twenty years ago, when I was still the Dean of Education. Mr. Faltins found me and told me he was going back to Germany. I also tried to keep him, but now I think about it. It is not necessary. This choice cannot be made in a day or two, nor can it be changed in a few words. "
Pushing his glasses, he handed the form to Lu Zhou's hands.
"I can't keep you, it's our loss."
Having said that, Principal Isgarub paused for a moment and continued in a joking tone, "So, in order to make up for our losses, I hope you can at least resign as professor and accept the title of honorary professor.
Lu Zhou, who took the application form, gave a slight slump and then smiled: "This is my pleasure."
...
When I left Nassau, it was already dusk.
Leaving here with two application forms. On the way home, Lu Zhou walked slowly, and even slightly detoured.
This mentality is probably like a person who is about to travel far away. I want to spend more time in the places I have lived in the past.
After all, living here for so long and going through so many things, he still has a lot of affection for Princeton.
While passing by Carnegie Lake, Lu Zhou accidentally saw a familiar figure, sitting on a bench by the lake, while Lu Zhou was thinking about whether he would run for a long time.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, he went to the vending machine, bought a can of sports drinks and a can of coffee, and walked towards the lake.
As he approached, Molina, wearing blue sportswear, was wiping sweat from her face with a towel.
Suddenly, a can of drink appeared in her sight.
Slightly nodding, Molina turned her face and looked to the side, only to see Lu Zhou was standing there.
Qingxiu raised her eyebrows. She took the drink politely, and threw out a word of "thank you." Then she snapped the can of the can and raised her head with a sip.
"You're welcome."
Lu Zhou smiled, sat on the other side of the bench, pulled off the pull ring of the coffee pot, and tasted it slowly.
Although he still likes to drink instant coffee, the canned frozen coffee produced in this factory has a unique flavor.
Molina: "When did you come back?"
"It was about noon. I originally planned to take some time to run, but after finishing the work, it was dark before I knew it." Students watching the evening run by the lake, and the lake The canoeing team in training, Lu Zhou said in a chatty tone.
Molina glanced at Lu Zhou.
"Speaking of which you are not in Princeton, it should be half a year."
"Yes, time passes so fast," looking at the sparkling lake in the sunset ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Lu Zhou smiled, "Sometimes I have the illusion that I just graduated yesterday, but I have returned God is already 25 years old. "
Molina: "... I think most people have just graduated at 25."
Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "It seems to make sense to say this ... What about you? How are you and your supervisor's project?"
There was a smug smile in the corner of Molina's mouth: "I have graduated and am now a lecturer at Princeton University."
Lu Zhou gave her a surprised look: "Already graduated? Then congratulations ... Although I want to help you with a party to celebrate new colleagues, I have now resigned."
"Is it."
Molina's expression was not unexpected, as if she had guessed it.
Looking at the can of drink in her hand, she continued, "So this can of drink is regarded as my favor?"
"That's right. Although a can of drink may not be enough," Lu Zhou patted the dust on the legs of his pants, stood up from the bench, looked at her with a smile, and said, "When the next opportunity comes, you come to China for tourism , I'll invite you to drink again. "
Molina joked: "What if there is no chance?"
"That may just be the day when we meet at an academic conference."
I usually meet during a night run, and the communication between the two is basically the same.
Begin without any warning and end without any warning.
Seeing the back of the landing boat leaving, Molina said nothing, picked up a stone, and threw it into the lake.
Apart from mathematics, she has no other things of interest, and Lu Zhou can only be regarded as ordinary friends.
However, thinking that this guy will not be here in the future, I still feel a little lonely ...
