Being interrupted by Massim like this, the feeling of tension has indeed eased a lot.

Lu Zhou also suddenly discovered that this guy is actually a very interesting person.

Although he is serious at work, he is casual enough to joke.

The only problem is that I don't know if it's because my English is not very good, and I talk a little off-line, so that Lu Zhou always feels that he is not on the same channel as his conversation at all.

"You're not married? Don't have a girlfriend? ”

"No," Lu Zhou felt a little embarrassed to admit it directly to that surprised expression, so he added a sentence later, "Of course, it's not because I can't find it, it's just because I'm too busy with work and I can't take care of these things for the time being." ”

"OK, OK, can't touch women at work? Don't know how to open your mouth when you pick up girls? I understand your troubles," snapping his fingers, Massim raised an eyebrow and continued, "My advice is that you need to find a place with a lot of good girls and learn a little more about it...... Do you want me to introduce you to a good place? I also found out recently in St. Petersburg.

Lu Zhou: "??? ”

It is an hour's drive from Pulkovo International Airport to the Klinthia Hotel in the center of St. Petersburg. The scenery flashing outside the car window along the way, brick by brick, has an exotic feeling.

However, as we get closer to the city center, this feeling is gradually diluted.

The central areas of the metropolises are basically the same, except for the busy streets, which are steel and concrete jungles.

However, when he arrived at the door of the Klinthia Hotel, Lu Zhou was still slightly amazed by this splendid Russian court-style hotel.

It's different from the Brazilian Mathematical Society.

This year's Congress of Mathematicians, it is said that it was sponsored by the local government and the Russian authorities, and was directly set in a scenic five-star hotel in the center of the city.

Whether it was for the sake of flattery, or for some other reason, it was thanks to the patronage of these well-wishers that the not very wealthy mathematicians were able to move the conference to a five-star hotel.

After sending Lu Zhou to the hotel, the accompanying convoy withdrew, but judging from the special police standing guard in the streets around the hotel, and the security guards in the hotel, who obviously did not look like ordinary people, the Russian Security Service should have strengthened the security work here in advance.

However, even though he believed that China's security services had fully communicated with Russia's security services, Lu Zhou still did not feel completely comfortable putting all the initiative in the hands of these Russians.

Following the hotel waiter to his room, the first thing Lu Zhou did after checking in was to turn on his laptop and put it on the table and connect to the hotel's Wifi.

"Xiao Ai, I'll leave the camera here to you...... If you see someone suspicious, remember to flag it and tell me. ”

In the bottom right corner of the screen, a string of bubbles pops up quickly.

Ai: [Is it finally my turn to play?] Don't worry, master, leave it to me! φ(≧ω≦*)?】

No, you probably won't have a chance to play this time, and the reason why you were released is just to add an extra layer of insurance.

Under the heavy protection of the Federal Security Service and the intelligence officers of the General Staff of the People's Republic of China, there is no such thing as a person who dares to come here to make trouble.

Unless it's acting, I don't plan to act, and I'm ready to do whatever it takes......

Of course, Lu Zhou just said these words in his heart.

After all, he still has to take care of Xiao Ai's feelings.

Xiao Ai: [Master, their elevator control system and access control system are actually managed by the same server as the monitoring system! ] Can I install a back door? (????) 】

Lu Zhou: "Keep one, but without my approval, don't use it casually." ”

Xiao Ai: [Roger!] Rest assured, host! φ(≧ω≦*)?】

Although the Russian Security Service has set up layers of defense here, this is a foreign country after all, and with such an extra layer of insurance, it is better to sleep more soundly at night.

After doing these things, Lu Zhou changed his clothes and left the room.

When he came out, Wang Peng happened to be standing in the corridor.

Seeing Lu Zhou coming out of the room, he stepped forward and asked.

"It's already packed."

"Well, it's cleaned up," Lu Zhou nodded and continued, "Speaking of which, is it okay to leave the security work completely to the Russians?" ”

Wang Peng: "Our people are involved in the safety work, but after all, this is someone else's territory, and our people can't do it directly, so most of the work is concentrated behind the scenes." In short, you can rest assured that you are on the safe side. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I'm not worried, I just asked casually...... By the way, I'm going to go out for a walk and have a meal or something, no problem, right? ”

"Of course it's no problem," Wang Peng nodded, and continued, "Do you want me to follow you directly, or do you want to follow you out of sight?" ”

Lu Zhou Khan said: "...... You'd better just come with me. ”

He's not going to do some secret activities, or he's just going out to eat.

It's too tiring to follow in an invisible place.

……

The International Congress of Mathematicians is still two days away.

Although there have been people arriving here one after another before the start of the conference, there are not many people who are so diligent after all. Most of the people staying in the hotel are tourists who come to St. Petersburg.

After getting out of the elevator, Lu Zhou walked through the hotel lobby, and just as he was planning to go out to find some local food and settle lunch by the way, he suddenly saw a familiar face at the door of the lobby.

With long wavy brown hair draped over his shoulders and a bright smile, he has the temperament of a big boy next door...... Of course, these are not the main points, the real point is that at the age of 30, he has already won more than a dozen awards in mathematics, including the Fields Medal, and is called by Faltins as one of the three young scholars who are most likely to surpass him.

It can be said that this is a man with both knowledge and talent. Even Lu Zhou had to admit that he was about two-thirds as handsome as he was...... Couldn't be more.

Eye to eye.

Just when Lu Zhou recognized him, the man obviously recognized him at a glance, and an expression of surprise and surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"Lu Zhou?"

“…… Schultz? Seeing this unexpected face, Lu Zhou said with a smile, "What a coincidence!" You've already arrived? ”

Although the two are not old friends, they can be said to be quite familiar.

Almost seven years ago, at the award ceremony of the Cole Number Theory Award, the two people who won the number theory prize and the algebra prize respectively got to know each other. And because of the intersection of research over the years, the two have occasionally exchanged emails.

Compared with those Russian bureaucrats who are quite deep in the city, it is really his peers who make him feel more cordial!

Holding Lu Zhou's right hand and shaking it, Schultz smiled and quipped, "Haha, it's really too coincidental!" I thought that a busy person like you would have to wait until at least half an hour after the opening ceremony began, but I didn't expect you to come early. ”

Lu Zhou: "At the invitation of the Russian Ministry of Energy, before the start of the conference of mathematicians, I had to go to the fusion power station in St. Petersburg for a while. Speaking of which, you're pretty busy, right? I came here early. ”

"To meet an old friend who lives in seclusion...... He didn't like people to disturb him, and I guess I wouldn't be able to touch him during the meeting, so I just came early," with a helpless expression on his face, Schultz continued, "Speaking of which, it just so happens that you are also here, would you be interested in going with me?" ”

Lu Zhou hesitated and said, "You go to see an old friend, I don't know you, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Schultz laughed and said: "It's okay, he's a very good person, but his personality is a little weird, and it's not easy to meet him." He was interested in you a long time ago, and I think the probability of taking you with you should be a little smaller. ”

At this time, Wang Peng, who had been standing silently behind Lu Zhou, suddenly said with a serious expression.

"Can you tell me who that friend of yours is?"

Schultz smiled and raised his eyebrows.

"Perelman!"

"You've probably heard of it."
