Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 409: So This Is What Happened
The timing of Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi's arrival was quite a coincidence.
One is the time to come to school, and the next night is the freshman dance.
Second, the two of them arrived at the freshman dance just as it was beginning.
What was even more coincidental was that Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu also came with Julia and Mary.
Chen Zhou saw them at a glance, and they were enjoying the food.
Chen Zhou pulled Yang Yiyi to Liu Maosheng and the other three.
The four of them were completely unaware of the arrival of Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi.
They were still chatting and laughing while enjoying the food in their hands.
Liu Maosheng stuffed the food into his mouth and said in a very unpresentable way: "If you ask me, the annual freshman dance should be renamed as a food tasting party."
Zeng Zigu nodded in agreement, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi standing behind Liu Maosheng.
Chen Zhou signaled Zeng Zigu not to speak, and deliberately changed his voice, which was calm and attractive: "Really? But whether it is the freshman dance or the food tasting party, it should belong to MIT students, right?"
When Liu Maosheng heard the sudden voice behind him, he suddenly became nervous and almost choked.
He turned around hurriedly to look.
When Chen Zhou's face came into view, Liu Maosheng was stunned at first, then he reached out to pick up the drink on the table and drank it in big gulps.
After a while, he slowly said, "Fuck, you scared me to death, I thought I was discovered..."
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi burst into laughter immediately.
Just like that, you still come here to eat and drink for free?
Zeng Zigu, Julia and others also laughed.
The laughter gradually disappeared until Liu Maosheng couldn't help but glare at a few people.
Looking at Chen Zhou again, Liu Maosheng said, "We thought you two weren't coming. I heard you went to see your instructor today? How was it?"
When Liu Maosheng said this, Zeng Zigu wanted to speak out to stop him.
But Liu Maosheng spoke too fast and he didn't have time to respond.
I could only sigh helplessly in my heart. By asking this question, aren't you giving people another opportunity to show off?
Sure enough, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi looked at each other and smiled.
Chen Zhou didn't say much, just briefly talked about SLAC and a lot of information.
Yang Yiyi was the same. She just said that she would wait for Professor Weiss to come back after receiving the award, read the materials, and then start the research on the project.
Although Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi have simply described the process of finding a mentor.
But after hearing what the two said, Liu Maosheng and the other three couldn't help but reveal envious looks.
It is really hard to envy people like this who are favored by the tutor as soon as they arrive.
At least when they first arrived, they often attended classes at school and helped their instructors with chores.
As for Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi, one is going to SLAC, and the other is likely to go to LIGO.
This is totally incomparable...
What's even more infuriating is that these two people said it so lightly...
The music in the venue started at this time.
The lighting also became a little more ambiguous.
It's time for the dance party to officially begin.
Several people stopped talking and turned their eyes to the center of the dance party.
There, some students had already started dancing.
Liu Maosheng said quietly: "Actually, you are still a little late. The main persons in charge of the last mathematics conference, Dr. James and Professor Dell, were also here just now."
Chen Zhou still had some impression of these two people, so he asked, "Are they here to welcome the freshmen? But this isn't a freshman dance for the Department of Mathematics, right?"
Liu Maosheng shook his head: "I don't know, it looks like he's looking for someone."
Zeng Zigu said, "Maybe he came to see you."
Chen Zhou asked doubtfully: "Looking for me?"
Zeng Zigu: "I'm just guessing, it's possible..."
Zeng Zigu only said half of his words and swallowed them back.
Two eyes were fixed on the back of Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou also noticed something and turned around, and saw Dr. James whom the two people were talking about.
Dr. James smiled at Chen Zhou and said, "Hey, young man who made history, we meet again."
Chen Zhou politely replied: "Hello, Dr. James."
James asked, "You guys seem to be a little late. I was planning to introduce you to the student who made history at MIT at the dance."
After hearing what James said, Chen Zhou said modestly: "You are too kind. I just did what I have always done."
After a pause, Chen Zhou asked again: "Are you looking for me?"
James nodded and said, "Just like your friends said, oh, your friends seem to be gone."
Chen Zhou turned his head to take a look, and saw that Liu Maosheng and the other three had already disappeared quietly.
Chen Zhou shook his head slightly. Are these people really afraid of being caught?
Liu Maosheng and other three also came to the other side of the dance.
Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu looked towards Chen Zhou as they walked.
Liu Maosheng even said casually: "Fortunately I ran fast. It would be so embarrassing if I was discovered..."
Here, James noticed Yang Yiyi next to Chen Zhou and asked, "Who is this?"
Chen Zhou took a half step back and stood next to Yang Yiyi, introducing her: "This is Yang Yiyi, a graduate student in the Department of Physics at our school. She is also my girlfriend."
Hearing this, James said to Yang Yiyi, "Hello, classmate Yang Yiyi. I have heard of your name from Professor Weiss."
Yang Yiyi replied politely: "Hello, Dr. James, nice to meet you. Chen Zhou also mentioned you to me, saying that you are an excellent mathematician."
James immediately became interested: "Oh? Chen Zhou mentioned me?"
Chen Zhou took over the conversation: "I remember that at the report meeting, Dr. James, you prepared so many whiteboards for me."
James was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Come to think of it, so much time has passed..." A hint of reminiscence appeared on James' face.
No one would have thought of the Chinese student who did not come to the academic conference at the beginning.
First of all, he proved the Cramer conjecture on the spot.
It's simply incredible!
Chen Zhou glanced at James and asked, "Dr. James, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Hearing Chen Zhou's voice, James came back to his senses, looked around, and then looked at Yang Yiyi beside Chen Zhou.
He just said softly: "Welcome to MIT. I believe you will achieve even more brilliant results when you return here!"
Chen Zhou smiled and replied: "Thank you, I hope it's as you said."
James smiled. He liked Chen Zhou's humility.
"I was planning to talk to you, but now...we'll talk some more when we have time. If I stay any longer, Edison will come to see me...I wish you all a good night."
James said, preparing to leave.
But he suddenly stopped and said to Chen Zhou: "Your female companion may make many girls jealous. At least before you came, many girls were looking for you...haha... "
