Chapter 326

After sending away the group of mathematicians who came to try to get close to him, Gu Lu found a hidden corner in the banquet hall, carrying several plates of food and started eating leisurely.

But the good times didn't last long.

Gu Lu was still found.

The people who approached Gu Lu this time were not the group of mathematicians who planned to get close to Gu Lu.

But... people from major universities!

The first people to discover Gu Lu's whereabouts were people from Harvard University and MIT.

Harvard University and MIT, although these two schools are in the same city, but precisely because of this, the relationship between the two universities cannot be said to be very good.

The same city has two of the world's top universities.

It is equivalent to Yanda and Tsinghua University in China.

Every year due to the competition for students, conflicts are inevitable.

This time, in order to recruit Gu Lu, Harvard University sent a deputy dean of the School of Mathematics, while MIT sent the director of the Department of Mathematics.

The two of them have quite senior qualifications and can be called boss-level existences in the industry.

However, this time for Gu Lu, both of them went into battle in person.

This time, when the associate dean of Harvard University and the dean of the department at MIT were having a fake smile and meaningless greetings, they noticed Gu Lu, who was hiding in a corner and feasting on several plates of food.

The two looked at each other silently, and the rare tacit understanding allowed them to walk towards Gu Lu calmly.

"Professor Gu, please meet me. I am the associate dean of the School of Mathematics at Harvard University, Hans Eddy!"

"Hello, Professor Gu, I am Martin Gill, the chairman of the Department of Mathematics at MIT!"

The two introduced themselves to Gu Lu almost in no particular order.

Gu Lu, who was taking a piece of steak to his mouth with a fork, paused slightly after listening to the introductions of the two.

Gu Lu cursed secretly in his heart, then stood up helplessly, with a kind smile on his face, and shook hands with the two of them one by one, "Dean Hans, or Director Martin, please take a seat first."

Gu Lu motioned for the two of them to sit down first.

The two nodded, each pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Gu Lu.

Gu Lu's reaction made the two of them guess that they were probably the first among major universities to encounter Gu Lu.

At this time, of course, it is important to keep silent about making a fortune, rather than deliberately publicizing it.

The two made the same choice again with tacit understanding.

Moreover, the position where the two of them were sitting happened to cover Gu Lu's figure.

In this case, their respective competitors are only each other, not all universities.

Of course, Gu Lu had a clear view of the two people's little moves.

Gu Lu could only smile helplessly.

"You two, let's talk." Gu Lu's expression became a little solemn.

The two people on the opposite side also looked solemn.

The two of them knew that Gu Lu was going to discuss business with them.

However, what the two of them did not expect was that Gu Lu would get to the point so quickly.

After pondering for a few seconds, Gu Lu organized his words and slowly said, "Needless to say, I already know the purpose of your visit."

"I am very grateful to the two universities for their attention and love for me. However, I will continue to stay at Yanda. This is my choice!"

Gu Lu originally wanted to express his rejection of the two universities' solicitations euphemistically and implicitly.

But after thinking about it carefully, Gu Lu felt that it was inappropriate.

Because if it is too euphemistic and implicit, it will give these two universities the illusion that there is still a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, when it’s time to cut it off, it’s time to cut it off!

So from the beginning, Gu Lu directly expressed his refusal to solicit.

However, Gu Lu still underestimated the patience of these two people.

If any other mathematician dared to show such contempt to them, they would have slapped the table and left!

But this time is different!

This time it’s Gu Lu!

It is the talented young mathematician Gu Lu who the top leader of the academy has said personally that he must recruit at any cost!

The chairman of the MIT Mathematics Department was the first to speak, "Professor Gu, do you really not want to consider coming to our school?"

"The annual salary we offer you is 1 million U.S. dollars, and you also have a sea-view villa of more than 300 square meters. There are also many other benefits."

The dean of the mathematics department at MIT found out that Gu Lu's annual salary at Yenching University was more than one million yuan.

And the annual salary offered by their school is five or six times that of Yanda.

This amount would probably make a normal person excited.

But Gu Lu is not a normal person.

Gu Lu smiled slightly and said apologetically, "Director Martin, I'm sorry, I still choose to stay at Yanda!"

The chairman of the MIT Mathematics Department gritted his teeth, "One and a half million! Professor Gu, my highest authority is to give you an annual salary of one and a half million US dollars. If you are still not satisfied with this amount, I can still negotiate with you."

Let’s discuss it above.”

One and a half million US dollars, equivalent to more than 10 million yuan.

And this is just Gu Lu’s annual salary for one year.

I'm afraid if this number is revealed, it will drive many mathematicians crazy.

But Gu Lu just smiled and shook his head to express his refusal.

The chairman of the mathematics department at MIT looked pale.

On the other hand, the associate dean of the School of Mathematics at Harvard University next to him looked happy.

Director Martin failed at the hands of Gu Lu, which meant that his opportunity had come.

"Director Martin, don't talk money and keep your mouth shut. Is Professor Gu such a superficial person?"

"Professor Gu, I know you are not interested in money, so I won't talk about superficial things like annual salary. I will talk about something meaningful."

The associate dean of Harvard University smiled and asked, "Hilbert's Office, Professor Gu, you must have heard of it, right?"

Gu Lu nodded and smiled, "It has been famous for a long time."

Hilbert's Office is a mathematical research office founded by Hilbert himself in the legendary era of the 1930s and 1940s, and is famous all over the world.

Hilbert's Office is affiliated with Harvard University. After Hilbert's death, Hilbert's Office did not disappear, but has been passed down under the organization of Harvard University.

It contains several top mathematical geniuses from Harvard University.

The associate dean of Harvard University said their weight, "Professor Gu, our school has decided that as long as you are willing to come to our school, you will become the new office director of Hilbert's office!"

I have to say that the conditions offered by Harvard University are much more attractive than those of MIT.

Hilbert's Chief of Staff!

It was a position of great power and high prestige.

Once Gu Lu sits in that position, it will be of great help to the big plan he is brewing.

But Gu Lu still smiled and shook his head in refusal, "Dean Hans, I'm sorry."

Two from Harvard and MIT are gone.

Some time after the dinner, colleges and universities kept coming to Gu Lu and expressing their intention to recruit.

But Gu Lu refused them all.

“I choose to stay at Yanda!”

Facing every college, Gu Lu answered this sentence.

"Yanda has no future! Professor Gu, if you choose to stay at Yanda, a university ranked only in the 20s, you are simply resting on your laurels!"

A certain boss who was rejected by Gu Lu said this angrily.

"Are you stuck in your ways?" Gu Lu murmured, then stood up and looked down at the night scene outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the banquet hall.
