"What? You don't want to be my apprentice?" Mr. Lu was very surprised. He knew his own status.
For many aspiring physicists, being his apprentice can help them avoid decades of detours.
His notes, his one-on-one guidance, his connections, these are priceless.
Not long ago, many parents of officials in Taipei wanted to bring their children to me...
"Do you know what my apprentice represents?" Mr. Lu said in a rough voice, embarrassed.
"I know, but I still refuse!" Song Zhouxing was unexpectedly calm now.
"Can you tell me the reason? If I'm not mistaken, a big part of the reason you came here is to become my apprentice, right? What's going on now?"
“I do want to be your apprentice, but I don’t want to rely on someone else’s power to get in.
I have the confidence that I can convince you to accept me as your disciple with my own strength!" Song Zhouxing's voice was not loud now, but it was extremely powerful!
Mr. Lu didn't react for a while. When he figured out the meaning of Song Zhou's jargon, he was a little amused and helpless.
"Do you think I accepted you as my apprentice just for Meng Yatou's sake?"
"Isn't it?" Song Zhouxing asked back.
Mr. Lu looked at Song Zhouxing with a complicated expression, and there was some distress in his tone.
"Is this how you see me? I accepted you as my disciple for my own selfish desires. You look down on me, the Lu surname, too much!
Do you know what my apprentices represent? Once I accept an apprentice, my reputation, connections, and a mature research team will all be passed on to him.
It can be said that as long as he does not make principled mistakes and has enough IQ, he will definitely be the future star of the physics world in my country.
He may be the master of the highest-level physics research in our country. More broadly, he will have a place in every field related to physics in our country.
So to sum up, my future apprentice will influence many aspects of my life, and I won't be so hasty as to accept you as my apprentice just because you have some kind of relationship with me or some kind of benefit to me."
Professor Lu spoke so many words at once that he couldn't help coughing twice and his body trembled a few times.
"Professor Lu, Teacher Lu. Please sit down first." Seeing Mr. Lu like this, Song Zhouxing hurriedly helped him sit aside, added some water to his cup, and handed it to Mr. Lu.
Professor Lu drank a few mouthfuls of water, and after a while, he felt that his cough had subsided, and then he spoke.
"Why, you still want to call me Professor Lu, but you still don't want to be my apprentice?
As for you, the first time I heard your name was from Director Liu of your Lian City Research Institute.
He is not one to boast, but he is also a true genius in the field of physics. Last time, he came to Beijing to report on his work and talked about some of the achievements of his team in quantum physics.
Your name came up so often in his mouth. Your attentive and enthusiastic personality, your extraordinary talent and keenness in physics, made me remember your name.
Maybe you don’t know that your visit this time is the result of the joint efforts of the two of us old guys.
I've read your physics lab reports before. You have a solid foundation in physics and are incredibly perceptive. This time, I've been able to see up close your unique experimental techniques and your spirit of exploration in physics.
"Add to that the fact that you questioned me this time, and I'm very satisfied with your character. No matter what you think, I've decided to make you my disciple!"
Professor Lu tried to persuade Song Zhouxing earnestly at the beginning, but in the end, the domineering tone in his words actually stunned Song Zhouxing for a moment.
When Song Zhouxing realized what was happening, he was first delighted, then helpless. This misunderstanding seemed inexplicable, but Song Zhouxing was still very satisfied with the final result.
"Teacher! Master? Which title do you prefer?"
"Whatever you want, don't you want to be my apprentice? Huh?"
Old Lu became childishly arrogant!
"Well, I was wrong. I was too narrow-minded to judge you. I didn't fully understand your noble character and your love for the country. I was too narrow-minded..."
At the beginning, Mr. Lu nodded in agreement, but towards the end, something seemed to be wrong, so he quickly called for a halt.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop! Stop flattering me and go do your experiment. This is better than anyone else's! Humph, this disciple is really giving me a lot of trouble. I know you admire me, but you don't even know how to be more subtle."
Mr. Lu complained to his guards.
The guard's eyes twitched as he watched Song Zhouxing leaving.
Mr. Lu, can you please hide the pride in your tone when you complain?
"One by one, they're all debt collectors. Wanwan is better! By the way, Jiaxing, did my brat write to me?"
The smile on Mr. Lu's face suddenly froze. He remembered something and asked casually.
"No!"
"Humph, I knew there was no one. He's been acting like a dead person day after day, without even a single letter!"
Mr. Lu's face became sad again.
Suddenly, a voice called out from behind: "Old man!"
The smile on his face returned and grew bigger.
"You little brat, you still remember to come back!"
