Upper Beijing.

Chen Baohua's home.

The family was watching TV while talking and laughing and eating.

The news on TV happened to be broadcast to the scene of the Centennial Physics Conference in Shanghai, and Chen Yushan couldn't help but stop the chopsticks in her hand, and her eyes were glued to the screen.

Noticing the longing, as if sparkling expression on his daughter's face, Chen Baohua felt a little indescribable in his heart, but he still teased and said.

"Didn't come along?"

Sighing a little regretfully, Chen Yushan said with a low emotion.

"I was going to go with him...... But something suddenly happened at work, and I had to go on a business trip to Beijing, so he had to go alone. ”

Originally, she even booked a maglev ticket to Shanghai, and she was very depressed about this matter for a while.

However, Lu Zhou comforted her very intimately, saying that being in front of the TV and being at the scene were the same, no matter how far apart they were, their hearts were close together.

I have to say, this guy is really getting better at coaxing girls.

In this way, the two were temporarily separated for a while, Lu Zhou went to Shanghai, and she came to Shangjing.

It's rare to go back to her hometown, so Chen Yushan didn't go to the hotel, but stayed with her father and mother.

In the past, she didn't like to come back here except for the New Year's holidays, because she always had to be urged by her elders to do lifelong events.

But this time, she didn't have that many worries.

If someone asks, she can confidently say that she not only already has a boyfriend!

And my boyfriend is so good!

“…… I heard an old friend from the propaganda department say that there is now a frenzy of learning physics all over the country," Chen Baohua said with emotion as he turned his gaze to the TV, looking at the great elder who walked down from the podium on the screen, and Lu Zhou, who walked to the podium immediately after, "Half of this has to be attributed to Professor Lu." ”

Chen Yushan was stunned for a moment and said.

"National ......? Isn't that an exaggeration? ”

Chen Baohua said with a smile.

"It's no exaggeration, when Chen Jingrun's story was first reported, wasn't there a wave of learning mathematics across the country? Have you ever seen it, at that time, someone even posted a newspaper in the unit, what Goldbach conjecture I see, and what are the ten proofs of Goldbach's conjecture...... It's actually quite fun to think about it now. ”

"It's amazing......"

Looking at the sparkling expression on his daughter's face, Chen Baohua asked sourly.

"What's the situation with you and Lu Zhou now?"

Chen Yushan's face flushed, and she said with some embarrassment.

"Talking about ......"

Staring at his daughter for a while, Chen Baohua suddenly sighed.

"Hey."

Puzzled by this sigh, Chen Yushan asked.

"What are you sighing about?"

"It's nothing," lit a cigarette, Chen Baohua sighed and said, "It's just that my daughter can't get married, and she is worried when she gets married, this is the entanglement of being a father!" When you become a child's mother, you will probably be able to experience it! ”

Seeing Chen Baohua smoking, Chen's mother, who was sitting next to her, suddenly counted down and said.

"Don't smoke at home, you old man."

"What do you call an old man!" Chen Baohua's eyes widened, and he argued, "I'm still early from the word old man, no matter what, I have to wait until I hold my grandson!" ”

Although he said this, he still consciously snuffed out the cigarette.

Hearing the word grandson, Chen Yushan was shy next to her, and she didn't know what to say.

In fact, she is not in a hurry about getting married, after all, both of them are so busy, even if they get married, it is unlikely that they will have children so soon.

"Dad, don't worry about these things, it's still early......"

"It's still early!" As soon as he heard this, Chen Baohua, who was still arguing that he was not an old man, turned his head and glared at his daughter again, "Your mother had you in her early twenties, and you have been in your 20s now?" And Shan'er, it's not for me to say, an academician in his early thirties, not to mention that he is on the rise in his career, and he looks good, if you want to say that there is no temptation in his life, I don't believe it. ”

As soon as she heard this, Chen Yushan suddenly became anxious, and argued with a red face: "What are you talking about!" He's so busy, where does he have time-"

"It's not a question of whether you're busy or not," Chen Baohua sighed, "Actually, out of my intention, I hope you find an ordinary person in your local area...... However, you are in charge of your own feelings. Dad only reminds you that if you really like it, don't hesitate too much, hesitate, the cooked duck can fly. ”

Chen Yushan blushed and said, "What a boiled, boiled duck!" Father! Again, like this, I'll move out after eating in a while! ”

"You old thing, what are you talking about! Our Shan'er is not as good as others? Tell me about it! If you can't tell it, don't eat it! Not only Chen Yushan, but the old lady sitting next to her also joined the battle aggressively.

Seeing that he seemed to have committed public anger, Chen Baohua finally became a little cowardly.

However, just when he was about to play haha, the camera on the TV made the family stunned......

……

Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center.

With the passage of seven days, this large-scale academic summit, with a total of more than 100,000 participants, finally ushered in the final conclusion.

At the closing ceremony of the No. 1 conference hall, the Grand Elder stood in front of the podium on behalf of Huaguo, facing the scholars inside and outside the conference hall, and facing the people of the world who were sitting in front of the screen watching the end of this grand event, and extended his best wishes to the physics community and sent blessings from the Chinese people.

In fact, when the Great Elder appeared on the stage, many people in the audience showed surprised expressions. No one expected that at an academic conference, such a powerful figure would be present.

Feeling Huaguo's respect for academics, the audience burst into warm applause after the old man's speech.

In a warm applause, the old man nodded slightly and walked to the stage, followed by Lu Zhou to the front of the stage.

Taking over the microphone, after clearing his throat, he spoke in a clear and steady voice.

"Thank you for coming all the way to Shanghai for this summit that concerns the future of all of us."

"For centuries, our discipline has flourished as much as it does today precisely because we understand the importance of communication and collaboration."

"Here, on behalf of the IMCRC Board of Governors, I would like to express my highest respect and gratitude to all the scholars who continue to explore the path of physics, and to all those who are concerned about our future common cause."

"This Centennial Physics Conference has come to a successful conclusion!"

"Let's give applause to ourselves and to the future!"

The audience erupted in warm applause again.

The boiling sound was like a tumbling wave, almost overwhelming the entire venue.

Bathed in the applause of the audience, Lu Zhou waited quietly for half a minute, waiting for the applause to subside slightly.

And then......

Just when everyone thought that this closing ceremony was over, he stood there and spoke again.

And as soon as he opened his mouth, he threw such a bomb of the level of a nuclear weapon......

"Also, announce something."

"The next IMCRC committee meeting will be held in seven days to decide on the list of members of the next IMCRC Board of Governors, as well as the choice of the chairman!"

"In the meantime, I'm going to be after the campaign and handover—"

"Resign from the IMCRC Board of Governors!"

The air froze.

The Great Elder standing behind the curtain sighed softly, turned around and walked away.

Luo Wenxuan opened his mouth, although it was something that had already been decided, but Lu Zhou's announcement of this matter here still made it difficult for him to hide the surprise on his face.

Davik, Wei Hong, Witten, Wilzek...... The physicists who were familiar with Lu Zhou but didn't know the inside story had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

No one expected that Lu Zhou would announce his withdrawal here!

The entire conference hall fell into a deathly silence.

And the exhibition hall outside the conference hall -

But it has been completely blown up by the cry of surprise and disbelief......
