Scholar's Advanced Technological System Chapter 899 - Swiping Right?

899 Swiping Right?

Just like Lu Zhou had expected, Qin Yue didn’t take long to reply. After Lu Zhou got up and went to the bathroom, Qin Yue’s reply was already sitting in his inbox.

Unfortunately, Qin Yue didn’t know much about Vera’s condition. He just knew that Vera was working with Molina on Riemann’s hypothesis. He wasn’t sure about the rest.

However, Qin Yue said he would try his best and keep an eye on the situation. He said if there was any new information, he would tell Lu Zhou immediately.

As for Vera…

For some reason, she still hadn’t replied to him.

Lu Zhou couldn’t keep waiting around like this. Even though he was still worried, he decided to put this matter aside and continue research on Riemann’s hypothesis.

Vera’s research inspired him a lot, especially when it came to the representation theory for the irreducible octal Heisenberg group. He couldn’t help but feel impressed; this was truly a sophisticated idea.

If he could make a breakthrough using the octal Heisenberg group and apply the hyperelliptic curve a.n.a.lysis method, he would undoubtedly make some progress on the value of epsilon.

He already had some ideas on how to enlarge the value of epsilon, he just needed some time to verify his conjectures…

It was worth mentioning that while Lu Zhou was researching Riemann’s hypothesis, Professor Krugman was still after him.

That thesis on Econometrica continued to spread around the economics community. Krugman would hara.s.s him with emails every couple of days, occasionally attaching the latest research progress on the Lu Bewley model.

These latest research developments included papers from well-known scholars, reports from academic conferences, as well as Krugman’s own research.

It seemed like this old professor wanted to let Lu Zhou know how important Lu Zhou’s research was and to persuade Lu Zhou to continue researching in the field of economics.

However, there was no hope for this professor’s wishes.

If a similar thing happened in physics or chemistry, that might entice Lu Zhou a bit. After all, Lu Zhou liked to see other people inspired by his research.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t interested in money anymore.

He didn’t want to waste his time making more money.

He didn’t want to brag, but he really just had too much money…

Lunchtime.

The family sat by the dining table, happily eating lunch.

Now that the two children were back home, Fang Mei was as happy as a clam. She cooked all of Xiao Tong and Lu Zhou’s favorite dishes. It was almost as if she wanted them to stay here forever.

Actually, Lu Zhou didn’t really care about how much he ate. After using the system’s metabolic enhancing agent, he could never gain weight.

But Xiao Tong, on the other hand…

She wasn’t used to the food in England, and now, she was in culinary heaven. She ate so much that she even began tracking her calories.

Lu Zhou looked at his sister trying to restrain herself from eating, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

Xiao Tong noticed Lu Zhou looking at her and suddenly remembered something. She put down her chopsticks and spoke.

“Brother, do you have a prejudice against economics?”

Lu Zhou didn’t know why she would ask something like this. He paused for a second and shook his head.

“Prejudice? Not at all.”

“Then why are you so resistant?” Xiao Tong scratched her head and said, “Professor Krugman is so enthusiastic about working with you, and this Lu Bewley model has a real chance of winning the n.o.bel Prize.”

Just as Lu Zhou was about to explain the reason, his father spoke first.

“Hey, don’t touch your hair, you’re getting oil all over it. Come on, you’re a grown woman now, no one’s going to marry you if you keep doing this.”

Old Lu didn’t know about economics or some Lu model, but that didn’t stop him from disciplining his daughter.

Xiao Tong heard her dad and put on a pouty face.

“Dad! What about this old loner right here! How come you’re only targeting me!”

Old Lu snorted.

“Your brother… I have no hope for him. I’m counting on you now.”

Lu Zhou nearly choked on his soup. He put down his chopsticks and said, “What do you mean no hope? I’m so heartbroken. Also, how am I old? I’m in my twenties!”

Xiao Tong stuck out her tongue and didn’t say anything.

Father Lu, on the other hand, just laughed and sighed.

The mom sitting on the other side had enough, and she began to say, “Forget about it, our son has his own plans; when he is ready, he’ll start a family.”

Lu Zhou sighed and spoke.

“Mom, you get me!”

However, his mom continued, “However, you’re such a workaholic, you barely meet any girls! I’m not worried about you getting married, but you should at least have some experience. How about your father and I help you?

“The girl from Auntie w.a.n.g’s house seems pretty good, how about I introduce you to her?”

Lu Zhou nearly choked on his food. “Like a blind date?”

“What do you mean blind date?” His mom awkwardly smiled and said, “It’s just to introduce you to each other.”

Xiao Tong frowned and suddenly asked, “Auntie w.a.n.g? The one upstairs? The one with the fat daughter?”

Old Lu put down his chopsticks and spoke.

“What do you mean fat? She’s just a little chubby, and she’s in her twenties. I think she’s pretty good.”

Xiao Tong smiled and said, “Are you swiping right?”

“F*ck off!”

Fang Mei didn’t know what her children were talking about.

“Swipe? Swipe what?”

“Nothing, Mom…” Lu Zhou coughed and said, “Forget about the blind date. I wanted to relax this holiday, but people kept asking for things from me. Can you guys just let me chill out? I’m fine being alone. I’m sure not a lot of girls will put up with my personality. Don’t put the poor girl through this.”

“What do you mean poor girl, look at how successful you are.” Old Lu coughed and said, “If this were the ancient times, an academician would be in the Hanlin Academy. You’re a catch.”

Xiao Tong smiled and said, “Dad, stop reading novels. Nowadays, girls don’t just want money, they want romance as well.”

Old Lu said, “What novel! I’m telling the truth!”

Lu Zhou shook his head and continued to eat his food.

Being grilled by his parents about his love life was the norm now. Anyway, his mom’s cooking was still delicious, so the food was probably his biggest motivation for coming back home.

The succulent red braised pork belly was as tender as tofu, as soft as jelly. Biting into it didn’t feel greasy at all; instead, it tasted like happiness.

Even though Lu Zhou had eaten at three-Michelin-star restaurants before, he could never forget his mother’s cooking.

While he was enjoying his meal, he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

“It’s probably someone here to greet us for the new year… I’ll go.”

Fang Mei put down her chopsticks and stood up.

She opened the front door.

A beautiful and familiar figure stood in front of her.

Fang Mei was greeted with a beautiful and blooming smile. A soothing voice traveled through the air.

“h.e.l.lo, Auntie!”

Wait a second…

What is going on…

Lu Zhou looked like he just saw a ghost.

He and Xiao Tong were frozen…
