Chapter 633

Alec didn't keep everyone waiting.

Less than half an hour passed.

At about 5:30 in the afternoon, Alec appeared in front of Gu Lu and others, carrying a suitcase about the same size as Simon.

Seeing the familiar face of Gu Lu at the airport pick-up port, Alec's heart tightened subconsciously and he took a few steps back.

Gu Lu, on the other hand, smiled and waved to Alec the moment he saw him.

Seeing Gu Lu waving to him with a harmless smile on his face, Alec could only take a deep breath, calm down, then forced a smile on his face and walked towards Gu Lu.

Alec knows better.

Even though Gu Lu looks harmless with a smile on his face now, when Gu Lu becomes ruthless, he will be quite ruthless!

For example, this time.

Alec was threatened by Gu Lu with one of the treaties in the signed contract, and was dragged to China by Gu Lusheng.

"Professor Gu, long time no see, long time no see."

Although Alec had complained to Gu Lu countless times in his heart, when they actually met, Alec still had a polite and flattering smile on his face.

Pulling the suitcase to Gu Lu, Alec shook hands with Gu Lu enthusiastically and excitedly.

If others who don't know the relationship between the two look at it, they might think that the two are close friends who haven't seen each other for many years!

Faced with Alec's enthusiasm, Gu Lu also put on a show and followed Alec's words.

"That's right. Thinking back to the last time you and I met, it was a year and a half ago. I still vividly remember the meeting with Professor Alec and others in my office!" Gu Lu sighed.

Alec's face fell after hearing what Gu Lu said.

A year and a half ago, he signed that humiliating contract in front of Gu Lu. This is Alec's dark history.

But now that Gu Lu has brought up the old story again, it has obviously hit Alec's sore spot.

But Alec couldn't say anything.

All I could do was laugh in apology.

"Professor Alec came all the way and traveled thousands of miles to come to our Yanda University. It is really hard work!" Bao Songquan, who was standing aside, smiled and exchanged greetings with Alec.

Do you think I want to come?

Air tickets from Denmark to China are not cheap at all.

If it weren't for that clause in the contract, Alec would have come to China to help Gu Lu.

Although he complained like this in his heart, Alec could only hold it in his heart.

Where is this?

This is China.

Gu Lu's base camp.

If Gu Lu was made angry, it was hard to say whether he could go back completely.

So Alec could only put on his disguised happy smile again and shake hands with Bao Songquan.

"It's not hard, not hard at all."

Then, Alec glanced at Simon standing behind Gu Lu.

What I noticed was Simon's eyes full of hostility and teasing.

actually.

Alec had noticed Simon a long time ago.

Alec was not surprised that Simon came to help Gu Lu.

Because although there is no accurate news about this matter, there are already many mathematicians on the forum who firmly believe in this guess.

The reason is simple.

The relationship and friendship between Simon and Gu Lu can be seen from the proof of the narrow Hodge conjecture.

now.

Gu Lu is in trouble.

This is the time when there is an urgent need for top mathematicians in the three fields of geometry, algebra, and topology.

As one of the four geniuses in the field of algebraic geometry at that time, Simon could not help Gu Lu.

The facts before Alec's eyes were just as everyone on the forum expected.

Simon really resolutely chose to fly to China to assist Gu Lu.

Once Simon joins Gu Lu's project team, the overall level will rise again.

only.

The relationship between Alec and Simon is really not a good one.

Both of them were involved in European mathematics circles.

The reputation and strength are almost the same, they can be said to be equally matched.

However, one of them mainly focuses on geometry, and the other takes the initiative in topology, so they don’t have much interaction with each other.

Before the Narrow Hodge Conjecture War, the relationship between the two could not be called good, but it was not bad either, and there was very little grievance.

but……

After that incident, as Gu Lu successfully proved the narrow Hodge conjecture and declared victory, the relationship between the two became extremely delicate.

Because the two had a grudge.

To be honest, that battle was actually a competition between Gu Lu and Constantine.

But as Simon and Alec are helpers on both sides, their relationship is naturally not good.

Plus.

After that incident, Simon's prestige in the European mathematics community became stronger and stronger, while Alec became somewhat less favored by the European mathematics community due to the influence of Constantine.

As time went on, the gap between the two became wider and wider.

Although the conflict is not superficial, they both dislike each other.

Just like this time.

Not only Alec has noticed Simon's existence long ago.

In fact, Simon had already noticed Alec's existence when he first appeared at the airport.

But the two of them seemed to have ignored each other, and neither of them took the lead to say hello.

…………

"Gu Lu, since the person you want to pick up has arrived, let's go have dinner." Simon stood behind Gu Lu, his eyes passed over Alec, and he said to Gu Lu.

"Professor Alec, you must be hungry after flying for so long. I have already set up a reception banquet. Let's go there together." Gu Lu looked at Alec with a smile.

Alec said with some fear, "I really trouble Professor Gu and your college."

Gu Lu waved his hand and said with a smile, "No trouble. Besides, there is no need to distinguish between us. Professor Alec, you have forgotten that you are now a visiting professor at the School of Mathematics at Yanda, and you are considered one of us.

As a member of our own family, there is no need to say this."

Alec felt a twinge of pain again when he mentioned this matter.

Serving as a visiting professor in the School of Mathematics at Yan'an University was also one of the humiliating treaties.

but……

Compared to the situation at the time, this condition was not so difficult to accept.

"Gu Lu, after all I am a visiting professor at Yan University, why did you look so indifferent when I said I was hungry just now?" Gu Lu's words aroused Simon's dissatisfaction, so he whispered to Gu Lu

Law muttered.

"You are different from Professor Alec." Gu Lu answered simply.

"Why is it different? Alec and I both flew thousands of miles from Europe, and both of us hold the title of visiting professor at the School of Mathematics, Yenching University. What do you think is the difference between us?

"?" Simon continued to ask.

Gu Lu helplessly held his forehead and replied, "Professor Alec is a guest."

"What about me?"

"It's a friend."

"Huh, that's right!"
