I Am the President of the University

"Lu, breakfast is ready. You can come down and eat."

Hearing the sound coming from outside the door, Lu Zhou put down the pen that was running on the draft paper, looked up at the time, and then started to get up.

"Mrs. Davis, I'm coming down."

Opening the door and walking down the stairs, breakfast was already placed on the long table in the dining room.

On Lu Zhou's plate were toast spread with jam and peanut butter, a portion of mashed potatoes, and a glass of milk cereal next to it.

Americans' eating habits are completely different from Chinese people.

There is a saying in China: "Eat breakfast like an emperor, lunch like a commoner, and dinner like a beggar."

That means eating a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner.

But Americans are completely different.

Americans eat a full breakfast, but eat the least at lunch, because there is a break time in the morning and afternoon. If you are full at lunch, you will easily feel sleepy in the afternoon, and the last dinner is the most sumptuous.

The breakfast of ordinary Americans usually consists of donuts, waffles, toast, hash browns, coffee, milk, mashed potatoes, etc.

In addition, Americans like to soak their oats in ice milk, and the water they drink is always ice water. After a meal, people with bad gastrointestinal problems can directly send it.

That is to say, considering that Lu Zhou came from China, Mrs. Davis specially used hot milk to soak the oats.

"Lu, will you come back for lunch?" Mrs. Davis looked over expectantly.

Mr. Davis was slowly eating toast while reading the newspaper. Although he did not speak, his little eyes would always drift over from the newspaper.

The Davises are both in their fifties this year, have only one son, and are still studying in the UK. This is why they are willing to be Lu Zhou's host family.

Because I really lack a junior to talk to. \b

Lu Zhou swallowed the bread in his mouth and replied apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Davis. I should have dinner with other classmates at MIT's restaurant at noon. I'll try to come back at night."

When Lu Zhou said he wouldn't be back at noon, the Davis couple were a little disappointed.

However, Mrs. Davis still had a smile on her face and warned her with concern: "My dear child, if you have the opportunity to come to MIT this time, you must perform well and try to get a letter of recommendation from a professor."

"Mrs. Davis, thank you for your concern, I will." Lu Zhou said gratefully.

He could feel the sincere concern for the Davises.

The school sent them on a study tour this time, a summer course to be precise. Not only did they cover all the expenses, but they also specially arranged for them to stay with families near MIT. Living in dormitories is not as good as staying with a host family, where they can feel and integrate into the local culture.

After breakfast, Lu Zhou put on his backpack and went out.

at the same time.

MIT School of Science, Office of the Mathematics Department Chair.

Professor Wright Thomas, the head of the department, was very surprised by the appearance of Professor Stephen.

"Professor Stephen, is what you said in yesterday's email true?"

As the number one university in the world today, MIT is also number one in many disciplines.

Such as computer science, mathematics, physics, life sciences, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, etc. \b

In mathematics, MIT beat Princeton University in the past two years before rising to first place.

Even though Professor Thomas is the head of the Department of Mathematics, he still has to respect Professor Stephen, the Turing Award winner.

"Of course it's true, Professor Thomas, you don't think I'm joking, do you?" Professor Stephen sat opposite Professor Thomas and raised his eyebrows.

"But this..." Professor Thomas looked embarrassed, "But the candidates for this summer course have been arranged."

"Do Guanghua students know who the teacher is?"

"have no idea."

"So, it's not difficult to change the teacher, right?"

Stephen smiled and said jokingly: "Or does Professor Thomas think I am not capable of teaching?"

Professor Stephen is a computer tycoon and winner of the Turing Award, but he is also top-notch in mathematics.

Thomas twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "Professor Stephen, please stop joking, I promise you."

Guanghua University is not even ranked in the top 100 in China, let alone in the world, but the president is Professor Chen Hao.

This Professor Chen graduated from their MIT and is expected to win the Nobel Prize. There is no reason not to be friends with such a future boss.

So we agreed to the other party's request and cooperated with the Department of Mathematics of the Faculty of Science and Guanghua University to open a closed summer course lasting six weeks.

The MIT school will not only give you a student ID card, but also a transcript and completion certificate at the end of the sixth week.

But it was quite taken care of.

Professor Stephen coughed, "Ahem, then I will be responsible for algebra and number theory in the morning."

Professor Thomas was stunned for a moment, "Wait a minute, Professor Stephen, did I hear you right?"

"Morning? This..."

"Richard said he was quite interested in the afternoon's analytic geometry." Professor Stephen took a sip of coffee and chuckled.

"Professor Richard..." Professor Thomas' expression was frozen.

A Turing Award tycoon and a Nobel Physics Prize tycoon both came over to teach mathematics?

Is there some secret behind this summer course?

Professor Thomas looked over in confusion, "Professor Stephen, can I ask the reason?"

Professor Stephen laughed and said: "Chen sent me an email a few days ago and said that among the students sent this time there is a good prospect named 'luzhou', whose mathematical talent can rival Professor Chi-shen Tao."

Thomas' eyes widened in disbelief.

"Professor chi-shen tao?"

chi-shen tao is Professor Tao Zhexuan of the University of California, Los Angeles.

Tao Zhexuan, nicknamed Tao Shen, won the International Mathematical Olympiad mathematics gold medal at the age of 13, graduated from college at the age of 16, received a master's degree at the age of 17, received a doctorate from Princeton University at the age of 21, and served as a full professor at the University of California, Los Angeles at the age of 24. , at the age of 31, he won the Fields Medal, the Ramanujan Medal and the MacArthur Genius Grant.

Looking at Tao Shen's resume, it seems that he started cheating at the age of 3, which is even more exaggerated than the protagonists of some online articles.

After seeing Professor Stephen nod, Thomas' expression gradually became serious.

What kind of boss is Tao Zhexuan? Not only does this Luzhou have the same talent as his opponent, but even if he only has half the talent, that's a big deal.

"Professor Stephen, if it is true as Professor Chen said, I think we can communicate with the other party privately in advance." Thomas said calmly.

In fact, my heart is on fire.

After all, there is only one Tao Shen, and the other party is already here, but this Luzhou is still in the growing stage. If mit had been brought in earlier...

Even MIT is keen on Fields Medal winners.

"Well, let's talk about it then." Stephen smiled.

After all, Chen Hao is his student, and Lu Zhou is Chen Hao's student, so after all...

Is Lu Zhou considered his disciple?
