Scholar’s Advanced Technological System - Chapter 1457

Chapter 1457 – Pan-Asia Chief Scientist?

Eleven o?clock at night.

The guests began to leave one after another as the whole party came to an end in a grand atmosphere.

Lu Zhou planned to take a taxi home, but just after he returned to the lounge and changed into his daily clothes, a hotel waiter knocked on the door of the lounge and politely conveyed Director Li Guangya?s invitation to him, asking him if he could spare ten minutes to chat with Li Guangya.

Since he had no other plans, Lu Zhou accepted the invitation. He followed the footsteps of the waiter to the next room and saw Chairman Li Guangya waiting there.

?What do you think??

?Are you talking about the party??

?Of course, we are very concerned about whether you can adapt to life after 100 years.? Li Guangya said gently, ?If you feel unwell, please let us know.?

?The society is more tolerant than I thought. I was a little worried that I would not find my place, but after staying for a while, I realized that I was worrying too much.? Lu Zhou smiled and continued, ?The only thing I have to say is that I am afraid it is too grand; it is really unnecessary.?

?Without this, we cannot show our respect for you. Hope you understand.? Li Guangya continued with a smile, ?Speaking of which, does Academician Lu have any plans for the future??

?Future…?

Lu Zhou spent a little bit of time thinking about this issue.

He paused for a second and spoke.

?This question is still too early to answer. Before making plans for the future, I intend to try to integrate into the present, then consider what would be better in the future.?

Li Guangya: ?This should be easy for you. I believe that with your wisdom, it will not take long to integrate into modern society.?

?No matter how easy it is, it still takes time, and for the future, I don?t want to make that decision too hastily.? With a smile, Lu Zhou continued as he looked at Chairman Li Guangya, ?Moreover, I also want to spend more time learning these new things. For me, I haven?t felt this way in a long time.?

Ever since his academic career in Princeton, he had been acting as a knowledge creator, not a knowledge learner.

If there was anything worthy of joy in this unfamiliar era, it was the knowledge that was born in the past hundred years, waiting for him to absorb.

?Actually, we have a proposal here. I don?t know if you are willing to consider it.?

?What proposal??

In a sincere tone, Chairman Li Guangya said solemnly, ?If you are willing to, we hope you can serve as the chief scientific advisor of the Pan-Asian Cooperation!?

?Chief scientific advisor??

Hearing this title, Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment. Dumbfounded, he said, ?Do you think it is really appropriate to let a one-hundred-year-old antique take this position??

?You are too modest!? Chairman Li Guangya continued with a serious expression, ?I have consulted my team about this matter. You should be the most suitable person for this position!?

?I?ll think about it after I integrate into this society…?

Seeing that Chairman Li Guangya had a slightly disappointed expression, Lu Zhou sighed and continued, ?It is not that I am stingy with my own knowledge, but I need to learn more before directing others. Think about it from another perspective. If scholars from this era need guidance from an antique, what have they done in the past 100 years??

In the end, Lu Zhou still did not agree to accept the position.

Li Guangya was lost in thought.

The bracelet he was wearing on his left wrist vibrated slightly.

When he raised his cuff slightly, a light blue holographic beam was projected in front of him. Secretary-General Wu Shuhua?s face appeared in front of him. She went straight to the point.

?So??

?There has been a slight deviation, but it is still within an acceptable range.?

There was a playful smile at the corner of her mouth as Secretary-General Wu Shuhua continued, ?It looks like that person rejected you.?

?Yeah…? Li Guangya said thoughtfully, ?Are people so humble a hundred years ago? I thought he would be more arrogant.?

This was somewhat different from the records in history books.

The more mainstream view given by historians was that Academician Lu was a very confident, even conceited person. This conceit, on the one hand, stemmed from his achievements in scientific research, and on the other hand, it stemmed from his own youth.

However, when Lu Zhou himself stood in front of him, Li Guangya had already realized that there might be a slight discrepancy between historical research and the truth.

Although his deep pupils made it impossible to fully see his true thoughts, one thing was certain?there wasn?t an inch of conceitedness in Lu Zhuo?s eyes.

?Then what are you going to do??

?I said that although there has been a slight deviation, it is still within an acceptable range.?

Li Guangya stood up from the chair. He walked to the window and lifted his index finger to open the curtain.

The Heart of Asia standing on the coastline was like a burning torch, lighting up his pupils, lighting up the dark night over the beach, also lighting up the Pan-Asian people?s desire for greatness again.

They had fallen into the trap of prosperity for too long.

The extremely wealthy material world as well as the spiritual world would always make people lose their desire for progress inadvertently.

But he was different.

He was an ambitious man.

Unlike his compatriots who were almost becoming herbivores, his childhood experience on Mars made him understand that a person who had no hope was just a walking zombie; their value to society would be less than a robot.

Whether it was for the glory of Pan-Asia, or for the sake of history…

At least during his term as the chairman of the board, he wanted to accomplish something great!

Either plant the Pan-Asian flag on the ground of Titan and Europa or open up the steel pathway from the surface to the geosynchronous orbit!

Or do both at the same time!

But first of all, he must rekindle the desire in people?s hearts and convince them that, without a doubt, he was born for this.

This abstract philosophical concept was called ?fate?.

He looked at the magnificent Heart of Asia outside the window, as well as the holographic lights and shadows dancing on the coastline. He then smiled faintly and continued, ?Tonight, there should be many people who can?t fall asleep from the excitement.?

This, of course, also included himself.

…

Lu Zhou went back to his apartment in a Pan-Asian Cooperation?s car.

The door opened in front of Lu Zhou.

?Master, did you have fun at the party today??

Lu Zhou looked at Xiao Ai, who was hopping around in front of him. He was in a good mood, so he smiled and said, ?Pretty fun, but tiring.?

?Xiao Ai saw it on the TV! Hehe, Master is as handsome as ever. (///?///)?

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.

Although he knew this was the truth, it was still embarrassing to hear it from someone else.

Xiao Ai also showed a happy smile on her face.

?Um, then, is Master in a better mood? (///?///)?

Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment. He then smiled and reached out his hand to touch her head.

?Yeah, thank you…

?I?m feeling much better.?

The bathwater was ready.

After Lu Zhou took a bath, he put on a set of pajamas and took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator. He then returned to the living room sofa and sat down.

He had contacted Jin Ling University previously, and after receiving his call, the other party immediately stated that they had prepared a preparatory course and office for him. He could even go to class tomorrow.

As for the title of professor, that had not changed in this century. There was no question of whether the title could be restored. As long as he wanted, he could open his own courses in the school at any time and receive his salary according to the current salary standard.

Lu Zhou?s idea was actually very simple.

The salary wasn?t the important thing. In contrast, he paid more attention to the academic resources of Jin Ling University.

As the world?s top university in this era, he could not only obtain the most cutting-edge information in the academic world but also communicate with the most knowledgeable people in the world.

And this also helped him get in touch with the most cutting-edge research fields of this era more quickly and catch up with the footsteps of these younger generations.

Of course, he still had one thing to deal with before that.

Lu Zhou looked at the documents in the box. After pondering for a while, he pulled out the electronic business card of Lawyer Chen and made a call.

After the phone rang three times, it was quickly connected.

A familiar portrait emerged in the holographic beam.

Lu Zhou looked at the lawyer named Chen Tianlu. He went straight to the point.

?Sorry to call you so late. I have something to consult you about. I wonder if it is convenient for you??

?Of course, no problem! It?s my honor to be able to serve you!? Lawyer Chen smiled and said earnestly, ?Excuse me, what?s the matter??

?I have some stock certificates, such as East Asia Energy, East Asia Communications, East Asia Heavy Industries, etc…?

Lu Zhou turned over the documents in his hands. He looked at Lawyer Chen, who was dumbfounded, and continued, ?I don?t know much about the rules of this world, but these were indeed bought by me and were notarized by the Bank of China. Actually, I just want to ask… How do I use these certificates??
