Chapter 299 New York
Lu Youyou has no interest in the hometown association, and she is going to New York this weekend and has no time to attend the party.
"I'm sorry, I have to go out of town this weekend, so I probably won't be able to come."
Yu Qingtian was stunned: "Out of town?"
After she enrolled in the school, she rarely left the campus. She had neither time nor money, and she was afraid that she would get lost if she went out. So Lu Youyou was going to go out of town?
Yu Qingtian really wanted to know where Lu Youyou was going, but he also knew that asking this was too abrupt.
"Well, how about next time?"
This is the golden thigh that she had identified long ago, and they are not in the same department. Lu Youyou joined the alumni association so that she would have more opportunities to meet him. Otherwise, she would not be able to find him for half a year and would never be able to get close to him.
Lu Youyou smiled and declined: "I'm too busy and may not have time to participate in extracurricular activities. Sorry."
Li Mingyue's heart sank. They had invited her so nicely, but Lu Youyou didn't even give them any face. Wasn't she looking down on them?
Yu Qingtian sighed inwardly, thinking back to when she first knew about the existence of the hometown association, she couldn't wait to join it. But look at them, they are just big shots and don't care at all.
Lu Youyou bought a sandwich and coffee and was about to leave. Yu Qingtian didn't feel like trying to keep her, and Li Mingyue was even more embarrassed to say anything.
The two watched the tall figure leave, and through the glass door they saw a foreigner greeting Lu Youyou. They were having a very relaxed conversation, as if there was no barrier at all.
"She's so awesome!" Yu Qingtian whispered, "Why does she only discriminate against us?"
"Maybe she has a special identity? Or maybe she knows someone here..." Li Mingyue said faintly.
Hearing that her tone was not right, Yu Qingtian glanced at her and said, "What's so special about her? You don't mean to say that people like to talk to her because she's beautiful, do you?"
Yu Qingtian has always been disgusted with Li Mingyue's occasional sarcasm. If he really had no friends, he would not have hung out with her.
Yu Qingtian raised his head and looked outside the door again, and was reluctant to look away until Lu Youyou's back disappeared around the corner.
She has been fighting and grabbing for it, so why is she getting further and further away from the thigh?

On the weekend, Lu Youyou took Professor Hopkins' car to the airport, and was accompanied by the professor's assistant, Lawrence, who also holds a PhD from Stanford.
"Lu, is your speech ready?"
"It's ready, do you want to see it now?"
"Let me see."
Professor Hopkins didn't know whether he was too busy lately or he trusted Lu Youyou too much, so he never asked again after assigning the task.
In fact, Lu Youyou could have spoken without a script. She wrote it down only because the organizer needed to preserve the information. After the meeting, there was a special publication recording the scripts of all the speakers.
This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to show off in the academic world. It is normal for Hopkins to bring his favorite students with him, but bringing Lu Youyou with him seems a bit unbelievable to others.
There were different opinions in the school, but the professor had his way. He liked talented students. Lu Youyou's performance in one year was comparable to that of others in two or three years. Why shouldn't he take him?
Hopkins read the entire article in a few minutes, and the curve of his mouth became wider and wider: "Very good, professional and lively, a perfect opening."
Lawrence was driving and laughed when he heard this: "You make me want to watch it!"
He knew how much the professor liked this girl from China. Not only the professor, but he liked her too.
Whenever I do experiments in a group with Lu Youyou, the progress is always very fast. The key is that my luck is particularly good. It has never happened to Lu Youyou that he only succeeds once in a hundred times.
He has extraordinary strength and mascot attributes. Only those who have it know it. Anyway, Lawrence is absolutely willing to work with Lu Youyou.
And he also gave a speech this time, so he was not jealous and was happy to support the teacher.
Hopkins laughed and said, "Keep it a secret for now. Go and listen to it yourself!"
"Then I'll wait and see!"
Lawrence smiled and glanced at the rearview mirror, where he saw Lu Youyou's calm face. He was distracted for a moment.
To be able to achieve such academic achievements at this age, even though Lu Youyou has not published many papers, Lawrence, as a colleague, knows how strong she is.
He had never seen such a person before, with an angelic face and a devilish figure, and he was also an academic genius from an academic desert.
Lu Youyou felt the gaze in front of her. Lawrence was stunned for a moment and nodded. Lu Youyou returned a polite smile.
The group flew directly from San Francisco to New York, and Lu Youyou shivered as soon as he got off the plane.
So cold!
The howling cold wind mixed with snowflakes welcomed the travelers from California. Everyone wrapped themselves tightly in clothes, not wanting to expose an inch of skin.
There were staff holding name signs at the exit who took them directly to the hotel arranged by the organizer.
"Lu, let's have dinner together tonight and I'll introduce you to some old friends," said Professor Hopkins.
"Yes, Professor."
"Be careful. If you have any problems, come to me and Lawrence. Please remember our room number."
"Got it, thank you professor."
Lawrence also waved goodbye: "See you tonight then."
The room was an ordinary single room, but fortunately it was fully equipped with heating. Lu Youyou made a cup of tea and leaned back on the sofa to wake up.
This forum will not only involve schools in the United States, but also universities with top rankings in the world in marine vessels, development and engineering.
Before coming, Lu Youyou consulted a lot of information and found out the research directions of all the bigwigs attending the meeting.
Although it is impossible to dig up very in-depth information through just a few days of communication, as long as she knows how far the industry has developed, she can go back and study it slowly.
Unfortunately, today's computer technology is not as convenient as it is in later generations. It is easy for her to remember things, but outputting them is a big project.
Lu Youyou sighed, picked up the newspaper she brought with her and flipped through it casually.
Um?
"On X/X, a Chinese delegation led by XX arrived in the United States and will pay a five-day visit to our country. The delegation..."
Lu Youyou was stunned. X month X day, isn’t this yesterday?
When I looked at the front page, it was indeed yesterday's newspaper.
She quickly took another one, and today's front-page headline was also about the interview.
Originally just flipping through it casually, Lu Youyou took the time to read through the headlines of the past two days.
It's rare to see domestic news here. It gives me the illusion of traveling through time and space. I can't bear to put it down after reading it.
Lu Youyou stretched out his arm and poked the TV switch, and CBS was broadcasting the relevant content.
Soon, a face that was very familiar to all Chinese people appeared on the small screen, and Lu Youyou smiled slightly.
Maybe it's because I've been away for too long, but when I saw this peaceful and prosperous face, I felt like I was back home.
Lu Youyou changed several channels, CBS, CNN, ABC... and listened to similar news over and over again. She didn't know how long she had been watching until there was a knock on the door.
"Lu, are you there? Let's go eat."
"Wait a moment, Professor. I'll be right there."
