Scholar’s Advanced Technological System - Chapter 940
Chapter 940 – Delicious!
Since Luo Wenxuan?s cover was blown, there was no point in hiding.
Luo Wenxuan awkwardly looked at Lu Zhou and scratched his head.
He felt quite embarrassed about getting caught like this.
He smiled and tried to change the subject.
?What a coincidence, the weather is so nice today, thank god it hasn?t rained. There?s not a single cloud in the sky. If it were raining, everyone holding their umbrellas would??
Lu Zhou: ?Don?t change the subject, where were you??
Luo Wenxuan coughed and said, ?The train was late, then there was a traffic jam…?
?You took the train this morning?? Lu Zhou said, ?You just couldn?t come to Shanghai a day early? Did you have to wait until the last minute??
Luo Wenxuan awkwardly scratched his head and said, ?Um… I didn?t miss out on anything important, right??
Lu Zhou smiled and said, ?Nothing important.?
Luo Wenxuan patted his chest and sighed in relief.
?Oh, thank god!?
?Thank god my as*!? Lu Zhou said, ?There?s a press conference at two in the afternoon, and I want you to speak there. Go speak with the PR team, learn what you can say and cannot say to the public.?
When Luo Wenxuan heard about the press conference, he jumped up like a bunny and said, ?Wait a second! Why am I speaking at the press conference, I?m not??
Lu Zhou: ?Shut up, you should have come here yesterday. You missed out on the department meeting and was late for the unveiling ceremony. This is your punishment.?
?No, please,? Luo Wenxuan said. ?Please forgive me, those reporters are monsters…?
Lu Zhou smiled and said, ?I can?t, you have to do it. Also, you?re part of the reason for the ILHCRC, and you have a good understanding of the Lunar Hadron Collider design. I?m sure you can answer some questions. Think of it as a chance to brag.?
Luo Wenxuan said, ?What do you mean brag… How about I do the report for your next big research paper. Also, how am I part of the reason for the ILHCRC? It?s not like CERN is begging to work with me.?
?Enough,? Lu Zhou said. ?If you can?t do this tiny press conference, why would I let you give a report on my research result??
Lu Zhou walked up and patted him on the shoulder.
?You got this!
?Just think of it as a public speaking exercise!?
For some reason, Luo Wenxuan felt like there was something troublesome waiting for him.
This seems a little suspicious.
It?s not like I can ask him.
After a while, he sighed and patted Lu Zhou?s hand.
?Okay then.
?I guess I have to do it.
?I?ll go prepare.?
Lu Zhou: ?…?
Motherf*cker, why do I want to punch this guy in the face?!
I?m training him to be my successor, yet he?s making it seems like I?m torturing him.
He should be thankful!
Maybe I should get a backup to replace him…
…
Shanghai international airport.
Professor Krugman walked through the crowd with a suitcase in his hand and a hat on his head. He handed his suitcase to the PhD student next to him.
?Wisl, carry this for me!?
Wisl took the suitcase and spoke.
?Okay, professor!?
Professor Angus looked at the crowded airport lobby and said to Krugman, ?Jesus, there?s so many people here! It wasn?t like this ten years ago.?
People of all races were crowded inside the airport.
Professor Angus felt like he was in New York.
Professor Krugman smiled and spoke.
?My friend, the world is constantly changing. If you stay in Princeton for the rest of your life, the world is going to leave you behind… Wisl, how about you be a gentleman and carry the lady?s luggage??
Wisl looked at the professor; he was speechless. He quietly went over and tried to grab Xiao Tong?s suitcase.
Xiao Tong held on tight to her suitcase and awkwardly spoke.
?… I can carry it myself.?
Even though Xiao Tong euphemistically refused Wisl?s offer, Wisl still had an angry look on his face.
This old man is using me as a slave!
I knew this was going to happen, but this is so humiliating!
However, his anger quickly disappeared.
When he thought about being able to attend an academic conference with a Nobel Prize laureate and being able to meet the big names of the industry, his anger soon dissipated.
This is nothing!
This will benefit me in the future!
Wisl was no longer jealous of his supervisor?s bias toward the new Chinese student. He even felt his shoulders becoming stronger…
I got this!
Xiao Tong didn?t notice Wisl?s emotions. Instead, she was too busy being confused about Professor Krugman?s actions.
Are all Princeton professors this kind?
It wasn?t like this when I was in Oxford…
?… By the way, Xiao Tong, aren?t you going to call your family and tell them you?ve arrived safely??
Xiao Tong replied, ?I just called them a few days ago…?
Professor Krugman said in a serious manner, ?I know, but you flew again, right? It was a twenty-hour flight! Your family must be worried.?
Xiao Tong: ?…?
They won?t be worried if I don?t tell them.
Xiao Tong didn?t know what to say.
?I?ll call them at the hotel…?
Professor Krugman smiled and said, ?Okay! Call them at the hotel… Don?t forget.?
Xiao Tong nodded awkwardly.
?Okay…?
There?s no way I?m calling them. I?m not telling them I?m in Shanghai again.
If my brother knew that I went all the way to Princeton for a whole two days then came back, he would laugh his as* off.
Xiao Tong felt a little weird about Professor Krugman?s actions.
?Too bad my brother is in Jinling. He won?t be able to see him…?
Xiao Tong shook her head and walked next to her supervisor. She dragged her suitcase on the ground while walking toward the taxi stand…
