Chapter 632

"Let's do this. I'll ask the National Natural Science Foundation to allocate another two million to you," Minister Jiang said to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Director Jiang, you really don't need to..."

Minister Jiang waved his hand and interrupted Gu Lu directly.

"Don't rush to refuse. One million a year is naturally enough for an ordinary project, but the project you are currently preparing is not an ordinary project."

"I heard from Academician Wu that your research group needs to recruit many outstanding mathematicians from all over the world, and the salary of this group of people alone is a lot of expenses."

"So, accept this money and don't refuse. With this money in your hand, you will have a lot more funds at your disposal."

"Don't be stingy, don't skimp on spending, give the mathematicians you summoned equal to their abilities, and don't let those foreign mathematicians look down on our country, China."

Since Minister Jiang has said so, it is certainly impossible for Gu Lu to refuse.

"Thank you, Minister Jiang." Gu Lu thanked him.

Minister Jiang waved his hand, "It's just a small matter."

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, no matter what aspect, you can tell me and I will try my best to help you solve it."

Minister Jiang's words were very sincere.

Gu Lu was slightly stunned.

Minister Jiang is the minister of China's Ministry of Science and Technology, and can be regarded as the number one person in the scientific research community in China.

But for such a big shot to say this and show such great concern for a young man like Gu Lu, it is really too unbelievable.

I am afraid.

If outsiders heard this, it would almost cause a small upheaval in the entire domestic scientific research community.

Seeing Gu Lu's surprised look, Minister Jiang just smiled slightly.

"No need to be surprised. You are a pillar of the country and the hope of China's future scientific research community. As the minister of China's Ministry of Science and Technology, I should take such care of you." Minister Jiang told the truth.

Gu Lu's strength is too strong and his potential is huge.

Gu Lu's powerful talent enables Gu Lu to grow into a top-notch existence no matter what industry he is in.

As for Gu Lu, Minister Jiang has placed great expectations on him.

That kind of expectation is not just about a Fields Medal, the manned moon landing program, or the entire field of quantum computers.

What Minister Jiang really looks forward to is that in a few years' time, Gu Lu will grow into a figure who can lead the entire Chinese scientific research community to become the world's number one, and become a being who leads an era.

Although Minister Jiang himself is a little unrealistic.

but……

Looking at Gu Lu standing beside him, Chang Jiang had such a feeling.

…………

afternoon.

Gu Lu returned to Yan University.

After returning to the apartment and resting for a while, Gu Lu asked Bao Songquan to drive to the airport.

Gu Lu and Bao Songquan went to the airport, of course, to pick up someone.

And not just one person, but two people.

Simon and Alec both booked flights to China today.

Others can leave it alone, but Simon and Alec, Gu Lu's two appointed leaders of the geometry and topology group, must be picked up by Gu Lu at the airport.

In order to express the sincerity of the Yan'an University of Science and Technology, Bao Songquan, the vice president of the Yan'an University of Science and Technology, also came with Gu Lu.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

A plane flying from Germany was parked steadily at Yanjing International Airport.

A few minutes later.

Simon wore a felt hat, carried a suitcase, and walked out of the airport pick-up gate while looking left and right.

Simon looked left and right, of course looking for Gu Lu.

really……

After searching among the people waiting to be picked up on both sides of the airport, Simon locked onto Gu Lu's figure.

When Simon noticed Gu Lu, Gu Lu also noticed Simon.

Although they haven't seen each other for a year and a half, Simon's appearance has not changed much except that he has lost a little weight.

"Hey! Gu Lu!"

"Simon, welcome to China again!"

After putting down his luggage, Simon gave Gu Lu a big hug.

Simon seemed very excited to see Gu Lu again.

"Gu Lu, after one and a half years, we finally met again. I really miss you so much, I miss you day and night."

Simon hugged Gu Lu tightly.

It is estimated that if there were not too many people at the airport, Simon would probably cry out of excitement.

Noticing Simon's extremely resentful eyes, Gu Lu shuddered subconsciously.

Gu Lu used a lot of effort to break free from Simon's arms.

"Ahem." Gu Lu coughed dryly, "There are so many people here now. If you want anything, just go to my house tonight and talk about it."

"Oh." Simon nodded repeatedly with a look of confusion.

"Professor Simon, welcome to China again. I welcome you on behalf of Yanda University of Science and Technology." Bao Songquan, standing next to Gu Lu, smiled and extended his right hand to Simon.

At the same time, Bao Songquan was also slightly surprised.

Bao Songquan knew that Simon and Gu Lu had a good relationship, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

It seems that the two have become very good brothers.

Maybe, with Gu Lu's hard work and strategy, Simon might actually join the Yanda Academy of Sciences one day.

"Dean Bao, hello." Simon adjusted his expression, smiled and shook hands with Bao Songquan.

Simon had a lot of interactions with Bao Songquan during the six months he stayed in China, so the relationship between the two is not unfamiliar.

Simon touched his stomach and said to Gu Lu, "Gu Lu, I'm hungry."

"You didn't eat on the plane?" Gu Lu was stunned.

"Compared to airplane food, I still prefer Chinese preserved eggs and bean juice." Simon licked his lips.

Even in the past year and a half, Simon still can't forget the taste of preserved eggs and bean juice.

Simon had already finished the preserved eggs he brought back to Germany more than a year ago.

Simon came here with an empty stomach this time, and Simon didn’t even take a bite of the in-flight meal on the plane.

The purpose is of course to have a good meal after coming to China.

Seeing Simon's eyes shining brightly and looking like he was about to eat a big meal, Gu Lu helplessly raised his forehead and said, "Then you should be hungry for a while."

"Ah?" Simon was confused.

"Another person will fly in later. We will pick him up and then take you to have a big dinner." Gu Lu explained.

"Do you have preserved eggs and bean juice?"

"have."

"That's fine."

Simon stood beside Gu Lu obediently.

"By the way, who is the other person you want to pick up?" Simon asked doubtfully.

According to the identity and status of Zhao Lu and Bao Songquan, there were not many people who were qualified to ask them to pick them up at the airport.

So.

Who is Gu Lu waiting for now?

Gu Lu did not answer Simon directly, but just smiled and said, "He is a person who holds the same position as you."

Alec, like Simon, is an honorary professor of Mathematics at Yanda.

"You will be surprised when you see him later!"
