Chapter 391: Back To China

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

By the time Lu Zhou finished his errands at Princeton, it was already the 28th.

Lu Zhou gave himself and his students a month-long vacation and asked Jerick to drive him to Philadelphia Airport.

On the way to the airport, Lu Zhou was scrolling through his Weibo when he suddenly received a phone call from Yang Xu.

“Boss, you’re coming back to China today?”

After seeing his friends’ news feed, Yang Xu had immediately called Lu Zhou to ask about it.

Lu Zhou replied, “Yeah, I’m on the way to Philadelphia Airport.”

Yang Xu said, “I’ll pick you up at the airport tomorrow, when do you land?”

Lu Zhou said, “No need, I’m flying directly to Beijing this time. I’ll come to Jinling in mid-January.”

“Beijing?” Yang Xu suddenly realized something, and he smiled as he said, “Is it…”

Lu Zhou replied, “Yeah, the conference on the 8th.”

“Nutty! Did you win some kind of award?” Yang Xu asked.

He couldn’t help but envy Lu Zhou.

The conference on the 8th was obviously the State Science and Technology Awarding Meeting of the People’s Republic of China.

He wouldn’t be able to win the Highest Science and Technology Award, but he might win the State Technological Invention Award or the State Natural Science Award.

Each of the five state awards was legendary; any research institute would welcome a state award winner with both arms open.

Lu Zhou smiled as he replied, “No one has told me what the prize is. I don’t know yet, but I’ll know when I get there.”

“Boss, you’re going to a prize ceremony! Don’t forget about me in the future,” Yang Xu joked. He then said, “I’ll ask on behalf of our research institute; is there going to be a year-end bonus for us?”

Lu Zhou said, “Of course there is.”

“How much?”

“You’ll know when I get there!”

Once Jerick dropped Lu Zhou off at the airport, Lu Zhou then walked into the terminal with his suitcase.

He and Chen Yushan had made plans to meet up through WeChat messages.

Lu Zhou walked inside the airport and instantly recognized a familiar person.

Her rimless glasses perched on her delicate nose and her smooth black hair brushed against her coat. She was wearing a black cotton skirt and pantyhose as well as a pair of brown boots that made her looked both fashionable and youthful.

It was almost like Chen Yushan could tell Lu Zhou was nearby. The moment she looked around, she made eye contact with Lu Zhou.

Her eyes lit up, and she began to wave at him before she dragged her suitcase over to meet him.

As Chen Yushan stood next to Lu Zhou, she patted her chest and sighed in relief.

“You scared me; I thought you were going to ditch me again.”

Lu Zhou asked, “Why do you make it sound like I always ditched you?”

Chen Yushan stared at Lu Zhou with a pair of bright beautiful eyes.

“Haven’t you?”

Emm…

I think…

I haven’t, right?

Lu Zhou had ditched people too many times. Even though he couldn’t remember ditching Chen Yushan, he wasn’t so sure anymore…

There wasn’t much time left, so Chen Yushan and Lu Zhou quickly went to get their boarding passes.

Lu Zhou thought that Chen Yushan would be flying first class; he didn’t expect her to be in business class as well. They then chose to sit together for the flight.

Even though her family was wealthy, it didn’t seem like she was reckless with money.

As for why Lu Zhou didn’t buy a first-class ticket…

It wasn’t because he didn’t want to spend the money. He just didn’t care. Unless someone else bought the ticket for him, he would stick to business class.

The pair got their boarding passes and went through the security check. They then walked at a brisk pace through the terminal and successfully boarded the plane.

Lu Zhou sat in the middle seat while Chen Yushan sat by the window.

He was about to close his eyes and nap for a while when a man, who was holding a briefcase, sat down next to him while he continued to talk on the phone.

The man was talking loudly, and people began to look at him.

However, the man wasn’t aware, and he kept blabbering.

A flight attendant came over.

“Sir, the plane is about to take off, please turn off your phone.”

The middle-aged man frowned and looked dissatisfied. However, he still followed the order.

Lu Zhou was watching this unfold from the side. He then sighed in his heart.

He was going to have a bad time with a person like this sitting next to him.

The man who had just turned his phone off looked bored, and he looked around to find someone to talk to. Suddenly, he noticed Lu Zhou, who was sitting next to him, and he asked, “Bro, what do you do for a living?”

“Mathematics.”

“Oh, mathematics teacher? Middle school or high school?”

“University.”

The middle-aged man was stunned, and he looked at Lu Zhou in disbelief.

“You’re teaching college students? I don’t believe it.”

Lu Zhou didn’t bother arguing with him.

The middle-aged man wasn’t happy with being ignored. He then looked around, and soon, he noticed Lu Zhou’s watch.

“Bro, what brand is your watch?”

Lu Zhou said, “I don’t know, someone gave it to me and didn’t tell me the brand.”

Middle-aged man: “The friend that bought you the watch must’ve bought a replica, right?”

Lu Zhou: “…?”

Is this guy retarded?

When Lu Zhou didn’t answer him, the middle-aged man laughed and said, “Look at the color, it’s obviously not pure silver.”

Lu Zhou wanted to ignore him, but he was suddenly interested in something. He then looked at the man and asked, “You can tell?”

The man laughed and said, “Of course! I’ve been doing sales for many years, so I can tell.”

“Then guess who gave this watch to me.”

“How am I supposed to guess that? Why don’t you just tell me?”

“The American Chemical Society.”

The man looked at Lu Zhou like he was crazy.

“Bro, at least make your lies realistic. You said you do mathematics, but now you’re a chemist. Why don’t you say the United Nations gave it to you?”

Lu Zhou chuckled. “Mathematicians can also study chemistry.”

The man laughed. “Stop bragging! Do you think I haven’t been to university? Okay then, since this watch is from the American Chemical Society, then tell me… Why did they give this watch to you?”

“Because of the Adams Chemistry Prize?”

“Haha, bro, you’re being ridiculous!” The man laughed and said, “Come, tell me, when did you win the Adams Chemistry Prize, I’ll search it up on Google.”

Lu Zhou chuckled. “It was around April this year.”

The man turned on his phone and started to google it. He was ready to expose Lu Zhou’s lies.

However, the search results weren’t what he expected, and he started to look confused.

He clicked on a news article and found a photo.

The man looked at the photo. He then looked at Lu Zhou, and it was like he just saw a ghost.

The f*ck?

This… This is real?!

Lu Zhou smiled and ignored him. He then closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

The flight attendant noticed the phone and walked over again.

However, this time she gave a warning.

“Sir, please turn off your phone. If you insist on disturbing the plane’s operations, we will have to ask you to leave the plane. Sir? Can you hear me?”

Obviously, the man could hear her, but he was too shocked to reply.

When Chen Yushan saw the man’s face, she couldn’t help but burst out in laughter.

Her stomach began to hurt from the laughing…
