Writing down the 10,000 words sprinkled with enthusiasm, Lu Zhou read the contents of the letter from beginning to end several times, and after confirming that there was no problem, he stuffed it into the envelope.

Lu Zhou didn't expect that a short letter from himself would help Jin Da do the supercomputing thing.

However, he has already described in detail his views on computational chemistry and computational materials science, as well as the practical significance of developing computational materials.

Anton's strength is well known in the industry, and if you want to develop computational chemistry, a supercomputer dedicated to molecular dynamics simulation is a must.

There may not be much to see in the short term, but in the long run, the investment is definitely worth it.

Glancing at the wall clock on the wall, seeing that the time was not early, Lu Zhou changed into formal clothes and got up to take a taxi downstairs.

However, as soon as he reached the door of the hotel, he saw a black Mercedes Benz parked there, and at the same time a man in a gray suit and a powerful appearance stood next to the door.

When he saw Lu Zhou, he immediately greeted him this way.

"Hello, Professor Lu, I am the driver who came from the embassy to pick you up." Stretching out his right hand, the man said in a friendly tone.

Lu Zhou shook hands with him: "What do you call it?" ”

"You can call me Sun Hong."

Judging from the calluses on his hands, the identity of this benevolent brother is definitely not just a driver, and he probably plays a role such as a bodyguard in the embassy.

However, these had nothing to do with Lu Zhou, and after looking at his documents, Lu Zhou got into the car.

Without saying a word, the car soon arrived on the banks of the River Spree in the central area of Berlin and stopped in front of the embassy in Germany.

In front of this magnificent building, Lu Zhou met Ambassador Hu Mingde and his wife, who were waiting at the door.

"Welcome! Professor Lu. ”

"Luckily!" Shaking hands with Mr. Ambassador, who was approaching, Lu Zhou said with some restraint, "Actually, there is no need to be so grand, Humboldt University is not far from here, and I can come here by car." ”

"How can this be! Compared with your contribution to the country and society, this little gift is not a tribute. Smiling like a spring breeze, Ambassador Hu introduced the lady next to him to Lu Zhou very graciously, "This is my wife, Wang Dexin." ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin, Mrs. has a good name." ”

"My father likes to study those poems," Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "but I didn't expect that Professor Lu not only has a deep understanding of mathematics, but also studies ancient poetry." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou was immediately embarrassed.

Although he is a cultural person, he really doesn't have much research on ancient poetry.

The only bit of ink in my stomach has to be thanked for nine years of compulsory education......

"Let's stop standing at the door, let's go in and talk if we have something to say," Ambassador Hu smiled and made a gesture of please, "Professor Lu, please." ”

……

In the embassy's cafeteria, Lu Zhou had dinner with Ambassador Hu and his wife.

It is not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, but it is a genuine hometown dish that is difficult to eat overseas.

Looking at the crystal clear xiaolongbao, Lu Zhou felt a burst of nostalgia in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

“…… After all these years, this is what I miss the most. ”

Although he used to complain to his roommates that the buns in the cafeteria were as thick as steamed buns, after he went to Princeton, he found that what he missed most was the soy milk and xiaolongbao, as well as the ten-yuan bowl of beef noodles.

You don't have to think about soy milk and xiao long bao, you can eat beef noodles at Princeton.

However, you can believe it, the beef noodles there are actually sweet!

It's just a matter of not putting chili peppers, and putting sugar in beef noodles is simply an evil way!

In this regard, Lu Zhou could not accept it anyway.

"How's it going, are you satisfied with the food here?" Ambassador Hu said with a smile.

"It's very delicious," Lu Zhou nodded with a smile, "It seems that you have a very good chef, please thank him for me." ”

Hearing this, Ambassador Hu smiled.

"I don't need to bring that, isn't this chef right in front of you?"

Lu Zhou was slightly stunned and looked at Mrs. Wang in surprise.

"Did you do it?"

Mrs. Wang smiled faintly and said modestly: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I am a chef." At most, I made the steamed buns, and the rest were made by real chefs in the embassy. ”

"Being an ambassador is a fun job, but living here for a long time, too far from home, can be boring. My wife and I usually enjoy studying the traditional culture of our hometown, and food is one of them," Ambassador Hu smiled and said with a pleasant face, "although I am mainly responsible for eating." ”

The atmosphere of the dinner was not very serious, and it could even be said that it was like a family dinner, and it was held in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Lu Zhou talked about some interesting things and research things during his teaching at Princeton University, and Master Hu also talked about some interesting things he encountered during his years of working in Germany.

In this foreign country, no one deliberately emphasized their identity, and the three of them chatted while eating.

In the second half of dinner, everyone had almost eaten, Hu Da wiped his mouth with a tissue, looked at Lu Zhou and said with a smile.

"Professor Lu has been single for so many years, so he doesn't plan to find a partner to solve the next lifelong event?"

Lu Zhou sighed and said, "I'm busy with my studies, so I don't have that time to think about it for the time being." ”

There is nothing wrong with that.

In the past, I always felt that I couldn't find the right one, but now I don't have time to find it, so I just put it on hold.

Otherwise, Lu Zhou thinks that in this era of looking at faces, with his own conditions, it should be a casual thing to find a partner, right?

"Haha, that's right, Professor Lu has precious time after all. However, scientific research is important, and lifelong events should not be sloppy. If you don't have time, would you like me to introduce you to one? Hu Da continued in a joking tone, not like a joke, "For example, what do you think of Hu Ying?" ”

Lu Zhou was slightly stunned for a moment, and coughed dryly: "This...... After all, marriage is a lifelong event, so I don't bother the motherland to worry about me. ”

Arranged marriages are a bad habit in the old society, and this is unacceptable.

However, if the state intends to settle the future marriage house for him in advance......

I don't know when I'll use it, but I can still consider it!

Seeing that Lu Zhou was not interested in his daughter, Ambassador Hu was a little regretful, but he didn't pay much attention to it, just smiled and said.

"Haha, I just mentioned it casually, Professor Lu don't take it to heart."

Although his tone just now didn't look like a casual mention at all.

After a pause, Ambassador Hu put the previous topic aside, coughed lightly, restrained the indecent expression on his face, and continued.

"I wonder if Professor Lu has paid attention to this year's National Science and Technology Award Conference?"

Lu Zhou glanced at him with some confusion, not understanding why he suddenly talked about this topic.

"Not really...... What's wrong? ”

"If you don't pay attention, you can look forward to it."

Speaking of this, Ambassador Hu smiled.

Immediately afterwards, he threw out a terrible news in an ordinary tone.

"I also heard from a friend that your name may be on the conference next January."
