Time passed, and Lu Zhou basically maintained his usual routine, waiting for the results of the mathematical modeling competition.

From Monday to Saturday, he went back and forth between the dormitory, classroom, and library, and on Sunday afternoons, he went to make up for Chen Yushan's cousin.

With his help, Han Mengqi's math scores are growing at an astonishing rate, from a mess at the beginning, to now at least keeping up with their high school course progress, and moving forward steadily.

On the other side is the campus train APP.

Because he hasn't been focusing on this, if it weren't for the occasional BUG feedback, Lu Zhou would almost forget that he still runs a small company with a loan of 500,000 yuan.

After the peak period of returning to school, the number of users of the campus train app stopped at two million, and these users fell completely silent like a pool of stagnant water.

It's normal to think about it, if it's not a holiday, which student usually has nothing to do and runs to buy a ticket home?

The cost of renting a cloud server is several thousand yuan per month, but this is only usual, if it is 6, 9, 12, 1, 2 months, if you want to maintain the normal operation of the APP, the cost of renting a server has increased several times.

As for how to make a profit and realize it, to be honest, Lu Zhou doesn't have a good idea, this is his first attempt to start a business, and many things are confused.

His original plan was to expand the users of this APP, and then attract limelight financing, or simply sell it directly to interested large enterprises to make a profit.

However, up to now, no one is optimistic about his APP, but there are many headhunters who have found him.

While a concentrated and young user base is premium, a group of users who are only "resurrected" at a certain moment is quite pitiful...... This is the conclusion that Lu Zhou came to after an active attempt to contact venture capitalists on the Internet.

Sure enough, it's still too difficult for a technician to run a company on his own.

One is inexperienced, and the other is unenergetic.

Lu Zhou pondered whether he should use the 500,000 yuan to hire a professional manager to operate, but the question arises again, which capable professional manager will come to work in a shell company like himself that doesn't even have an office location?

emmm……

The answer is a mystery.

The company's affairs are put aside for the time being, anyway, now that the users are all corpses, there is no way to bring the dead back to life in a hurry.

Finally at the beginning of October, Lu Zhou received a notice of defense from Mr. Liu, and the heart that was originally hanging was finally relieved.

Generally speaking, if you get the defense qualification, it is at least a provincial one, that is, the first prize in the division.

According to the rules of the Mathematical Modeling Competition, the organizing committee of each competition area will send the first prize of the competition area to the national organizing committee according to the number specified by the national organizing committee, and the national organizing committee will hire experts to form a national evaluation committee to select the national first prize and the second prize from the excellent answer sheets submitted by each competition area according to the unified standard.

If it is the first national award, there is also a chance to select the two special prizes of the Higher Education Society Cup and the Matlab Innovation Award.

The former, in particular, is almost equivalent to an overall championship title.

If Guoyi is just adding points to Baoyan, then if he wins the Higher Education Cup, Baoyan will basically be stable.

It's naturally good to be able to get the Higher Education Cup, and it's not extravagant to get Lu Zhou, his goal is the first country. If you can't even get the country, with this broken system, I'm afraid that he will be able to get the task card until this time next year, or he can only spend points to cancel the task.

No longer wasting time, Lu Zhou opened his notebook and inserted it into the USB flash drive and began to prepare the defense PPT.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the dormitory, and Huang Guangming, who was sitting in his seat playing with his mobile phone, went over and opened the door.

It was Tian Jun, the squad leader, who came in, holding a list in his hand, and as soon as he entered the door, he said with a smile: "Is Liu Rui in your dormitory?" ”

"In!" Liu Rui, who was washing clothes on the balcony, howled, hurriedly ran back to the bedroom, and kicked over Huang Guangming's footbath halfway, and hurriedly asked in front of the squad leader, "What's the matter?" ”

In fact, when he asked this sentence, he already knew what it was.

In the morning, the thigh was said in the discussion group, and it was the second prize of the province...... Then he decisively withdrew from the group. Liu Rui doesn't feel anything, save two or save two, the freshman competition is originally to hug his thighs and accumulate experience, and it is not impossible for him to challenge the national award next year.

"Congratulations," the squad leader smiled and pulled out a certificate from under the list, "Provincial Second Prize!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Huang Guangming stopped playing on his mobile phone, and shouted: "Hold the grass, Brother Rui is cheating." ”

Shi Shang echoed: "Bad and bad, the second prize of the province, one step away from the province!" ”

"Who else in our class has won the award?" Liu Rui quickly glanced in the direction of Lu Zhou and asked nonchalantly.

"There is also a Luo Rundong, he is a provincial one." Tian Jun said with a smile, "Provincial Second is already very good, much better than those of us who have never even participated!" ”

"Where, where, it's just good luck," said while pandering, Liu Rui's heart blossomed.

Although he was a little envious, after all, there were several number plates in the dormitory, and he didn't usually communicate much, and he didn't have much imbalance in his heart about Luo Xueba.

What really surprised him was that Lu Zhou didn't win the award!

The first student in Shuying only took a thank you for participating!

This is a big upset!

It made him happier than his own award.

No, you have to hold back your laughter.

Liu Rui cleared his throat, made a gesture of caring about his roommate, and asked the squad leader, "Where are our elbows?" Did you miss the certificate? ”

"I don't have it on this list, and I don't know ......"

Tian Jun was also puzzled that there was no Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou was the top student in their class, so he looked through the list several times, but he still didn't find Lu Zhou's name, so he had to look at Lu Zhou in embarrassment: "Or, elbow, you go to the counselor and ask?" My list may really not be exhaustive......"

"yes, there's no elbow on the list, it's not scientific." Shi Shang also nodded and said seriously.

Although he was always scolded by Lu Zhou and couldn't get up in one breath, he still admired this guy's learning ability.

In fact, Tian Jun really guessed it, and the list in his hand was indeed incomplete.

The list given to him by the competition training teacher group is the list of winners of the teams that took the registration route on the school's official website.

And Lu Zhou himself is not in charge of the teacher group, but is responsible for the special training teacher arranged by the department, Professor Liu Xiangping, so it is naturally impossible for the list to run to the teacher group.

"No need." Lu Zhou, who was collecting PPT materials, shook his head.

The certificate will be sent sooner or later, and he is not in a hurry for a while, he can't understand why these people are in such a hurry to get this piece of paper in their hands.

Seeing Lu Zhou's look as if he didn't care, Shi Shang was mistaken, and hurriedly said, "How can this work!" What if the list is really wrong. ”

Huang Guangming also felt a pity, and then said: "Yes, even Liu Rui is the second in the province, why don't you not be selected." ”

Liu Rui said MMP in his heart, what does it mean that even I am the second province.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he still echoed "yes, yes", and made a look of concern.

"It's really not necessary," Lu Zhou shook his head, "Anyway, that thing will be sent over sooner or later." ”

Tian Jun was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "...... Sooner or later, it will be delivered? ”

"Well," Lu Zhou nodded, opened the browser with his hand, and flipped out the email he received just now, "Mr. Liu has already informed me that I am preparing for the defense of the competition area, and it will be okay if the certificate is delivered two days late, anyway, I am not in a hurry." ”

There seems to be a deviation in understanding.

The air in the dormitory was quiet for about three seconds.

At last......

Shi Shang was shocked: "Hold the grass, Brother Lu is cheating!" ”

Huang Guangming put his arm on Lu Zhou's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Provincial first prize!" This has to be shortlisted for the national competition! Treat, Brother Lu! ”

Lu Zhou shook the back of his hand as if he was chasing mosquitoes, moved his face away with disgust, and said, "Go away, stay away from me, I won't do anything." Don't bother me to change the PPT, wait for the school's bonus to come down! ”

Tian Jun, the squad leader, breathed a sigh of relief, closed the list, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I'll just say, it's not scientific for our brother Lu not to take a province!" It turned out to be at Mr. Liu's. Okay, I'll go first. ”

Liu Rui: "......"

With a reluctant smile on his face, in fact, Liu Rui didn't want to laugh in his heart, but wanted to cry a little.

The good mood that was finally born because of schadenfreude is not so beautiful in an instant......
