Chapter 261

Are you excited?

To say that I'm not moved would be a lie.

After all, the remuneration offered by major prestigious schools is very generous.

Especially Princeton University.

As long as Gu Lu goes to teach at Princeton University, Gu Lu can get a position as a researcher at the Institute of Advanced Mathematics at Princeton.

That is a professional title on par with full professor.

He is also a full professor at Princeton University.

However, my heart beats my heart.

Gu Lu politely declined all the olive branches offered by major prestigious schools.

Gu Lu always had an inexplicable affection for Yan University, or for the country of China.

It's a feeling that's hard to let go of.

Otherwise, after graduating from Princeton with a Ph.D., Gu Lu would not have chosen to return to China instead of staying in the United States.

Gu Lu will continue to stay at Yanda.

Even now, the treatment offered to Gu Lu by Yanda is not necessarily better than that offered by other prestigious universities.

Seeing Gu Lu's resolute attitude, those colleges and universities that wanted to win over Gu Lu stopped thinking about it.

I have to say that Gu Lu's performance today is just like Simon back then.

At that time, Simon was also faced with solicitations from many universities and remained unmoved.

He resolutely chose to continue teaching at the University of Bonn.

Therefore, the prosperity of the University of Bonn is today!

Since they can't recruit Gu Lu, that doesn't stop everyone from building a relationship with Gu Lu.

Gu Lu was also talking and laughing, and dealt with it elegantly.

While chatting, everyone started talking about the International Congress of Mathematicians that will be held next month.

"Gu, I heard that you were invited as a speaker by the International Mathematical Union?" A Danish mathematician asked with a smile.

It is well known that Gu Lu was invited to give a forty-five-minute lecture at the algebraic geometry group meeting.

Gu Lu took a sip of red wine and nodded without denying it.

Everyone sighed in admiration.

After all, among the hundreds of mathematicians in the field of algebraic geometry who attended the conference, only eight were qualified as invited speakers.

And Gu Lu is the youngest among them, or in other words, the youngest invited speaker in the history of the International Conference of Mathematicians!

"Mr. Gu, you are called an invited speaker at such a young age. You are truly worthy of the word 'genius'!" one of the Ukrainian mathematicians sighed.

Gu Lu waved his hand and complained helplessly, "This is my first time attending the International Congress of Mathematicians. I have no experience at all. I didn't expect to be burdened with giving a conference report in front of hundreds of people. It's really stressful.

ah!"

After listening to Gu Lu's complaint, everyone was silent.

This burden is too heavy and it’s uncomfortable to hold it down. You can let us do it!

It is probably the first time for Gu Lu to be an invited speaker at the conference and yet to be so reluctant!

"Well, to be honest, I hope that like everyone else, I can just listen and don't have to think about anything. It's not like me, just preparing the content of the meeting report, my hair is almost falling out!" Gu Lu

Sighing softly.

Mathematicians: "..."

Is this what people say?

What a great thing it is to be an invited speaker.

Why did it become such a big trouble when we got here?

Everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly one after another.

Everyone once again chatted about something about this International Congress of Mathematicians.

They knew that this International Congress of Mathematicians was being held in Yanjing, China, so they inquired about the relevant situation.

For example, accommodation, environment, etc.

After all, the International Congress of Mathematicians is not only held for one or two days, but for half a month.

In other words, most of the participating mathematicians will stay in Yanjing for half a month.

Gu Lu had been running to the International Convention Center every three days a while ago, so he was very familiar with the situation there.

Gu Lu gave a brief introduction to put everyone at ease.

Moreover, Gu Lu also said that when everyone goes to China, Gu Lu will definitely do his best to entertain them as a landlord.

A dinner party can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host.

Gu Lu inevitably got drunk under the continuous toasts from everyone around him.

So, a tall Ukrainian mathematician next to him took the initiative to help the drunk Gu Lu back to the hotel room upstairs.

With a bang, the Ukrainian mathematician threw Gu Lu on the bed.

"This guy is really handsome!"

The Ukrainian mathematician looked at Gu Lu's cheek carefully, rubbed his chin and murmured this sentence softly.

Snap! Snap!

The Ukrainian mathematician turned off the lights and closed the door, and spent the night in silence.

…………

Early next morning.

Gu Lu rubbed his swollen head and stood up from the hotel bed with his arms on his hands.

"What time is it?"

Gu Lu yawned, raised his wrist and glanced at the time on his watch.

Nine thirty-five.

Gu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

He had booked a flight back to Yanjing at twelve o'clock, so he could still catch the plane.

When Gu Lu returned to Yanjing, it happened to be six o'clock in the morning Yanjing time.

After resting in the apartment for a while, Gu Lu was called to the office again by a call from Bao Songquan.

It's still that familiar office.

Bao Songquan poured a glass of water for Gu Lu and sat across from Gu Lu.

"Did you get the Veblen Prize back?" This was Bao Songquan's first sentence.

Gu Lu smiled, took out the Veblen Prize medal from his pocket, and handed it to Bao Songquan, "Brother, this is the medal. I keep the certificate at home."

Bao Songquan carefully took the Veblen Prize medal, held it in his hand, and rubbed it carefully like a treasure.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Bao Songquan said three good words in succession.

It was enough to express his inner excitement.

Bao Songquan handed the medal back to Gu Lu, crossed his fingers, and said with a smile, "Gu Lu, you have made our Yan University look bad this time!"

you do not say!

As we all know, Gu Lu is a professor at Yan University.

When YSU won the Veblen Prize, the entire mathematics department of YSU was honored.

Gu Lu smiled lightly but said nothing.

Over there, Bao Songquan seemed to be thinking about something and did not speak further.

The atmosphere became silent for a while.

After thinking for a while, Bao Songquan glanced at Gu Lu and asked first, "After the award ceremony yesterday, many universities should be recruiting you, right?"

Gu Lu nodded and did not deny it, "Princeton, MIT, Harvard, Cambridge, Stanford, people from these universities have talked to me."

Bao Songquan's heart skipped a beat.

The mathematics departments of these five universities are all ranked in the top ten.

The Department of Mathematics at Yanda was only ranked 20th in last year’s ranking of global university mathematics departments.

Bao Songquan began to worry.

It's not that Bao Songquan is worried about Gu Lu, but the temptation of these five universities is too great.

Bao Songquan glanced at Gu Lu, thought for a few seconds, and then slowly said, "So, what do you mean?"

Gu Lu looked directly at Bao Songquan, "I rejected them all!"

ps: The conditions for internship are very difficult, it is a hot day of 38 degrees, and the power supply in the dormitory is currently out.

While the computer still has some power, send out the saved manuscript.
