Hearing the old leader's question, Li Zhenbang felt happy.

Of course he knew what was going on.

Originally, he planned to use the time of reporting work to mention this matter to the old leader.

However, because of Chen Zhou's influence, things in the science and technology department suddenly increased.

In addition, I never found a suitable opportunity, so I never had time to talk about it.

Unexpectedly, the old leader actually took the initiative to ask about this matter.

This saves me from looking for opportunities to mention this matter again.

"That's it, old leader..." Li Zhenbang quickly sorted out the whole thing in his mind, and then began to explain.

"The discussion about whether Chen Zhou should return to China actually existed long before Chen Zhou went abroad. However, at that time, Chen Zhou took the initiative to post a Weibo post in response to the matter."

"But no one expected that after Chen Zhou came to the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this matter would once again arouse the attention of the masses at an extremely rapid speed."

"Old leader, the development of this matter has gone through several stages..."

After listening to Li Zhenbang's narration, the old leader asked softly: "How did Chen Zhou respond at that time?"

Li Zhenbang said truthfully: "Chen Zhou just said one thing at that time. He said that he would definitely return to China."

When the old leader heard this, he immediately said happily: "This guy has a lot of personality!"

Li Zhenbang also smiled and said: "He is indeed very personal. He expressed his position in one sentence and blocked everyone's mouths."

The old leader nodded: "If that's the case, then why are they making a fuss now?"

Li Zhenbang replied: "Old leader, in fact, our domestic scientific community has always been in a special state."

The old leader frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "What special state?"

Li Zhenbang replied directly: "The corpse is a plain meal, and the network of relationships is intertwined."

After saying this, Li Zhenbang stared closely at the frowning old leader.

The old leader said nothing, only frowned, and his eyes fell on the newspaper.

Li Zhenbang opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more.

Some things are not good if they are said too much or too hastily.

He believed that the old leaders had conscious considerations and corresponding solutions.

Moreover, this itself is a chronic disease accumulated over many years and cannot be solved in a short time.

After a pause, the old leader asked softly: "Zhenbang, what do you think Chen Zhou will choose? You are in charge of the national 'Ten Thousand Thousand Persons Plan' and have had a lot of contact with him. What do you think of this matter?"

?”

When Li Zhenbang heard this, he immediately understood what the old leader meant.

Immediately, Li Zhenbang said: "I think that with Chen Zhou's character, he is a trustworthy person, whether in life or in scientific research. Therefore, I believe that Chen Zhou will fulfill his words."

After finishing speaking, Li Zhenbang remembered something and added: "I am not the only one who has this opinion. Chen Zhou's previous school and previous teachers also believed that he would come back."

Hearing this, the old leader nodded slightly: "I understand, you go ahead and do your work first."

"Okay, old leader." Li Zhenbang responded silently and prepared to leave the office.

As Li Zhenbang walked towards the door of the office, the old leader read the news in the newspaper again.

“On October 3, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the list of winners of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics through official website announcements and press conferences. my country’s famous mathematician and physicist Chen Zhou successfully won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics. The prize was collected. At the same time, Chen Zhou also broke the age record of the youngest winner in the history of the Nobel Prize in Physics..."

After a quick scan, the old leader slowly put down the newspaper, raised his head slightly, and looked at Li Zhenbang's leaving figure.

He thought for a while and said softly: "Zhenbang, I will learn more about this matter."

Hearing the voice of the old leader, Li Zhenbang's steps stagnated slightly.

He turned his head and looked at the old leader.

The old leader smiled at Li Zhenbang and waved his hand.

…

"Cross, have the other researchers made arrangements?"

In the hotel room, Chen Zhou looked at Cross in front of him and asked aloud.

Cross heard this and nodded: "It's all arranged. It's the same day as us. We will go to CERN and they will go to China."

Chen Zhou asked again: "Have you made contact with Hua Country?"

"Yes, we have been contacted a long time ago." Cross thought about the response from China and couldn't help but smile, "In the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I am very happy to hear that so many researchers are willing to come.

"

Chen Zhou glanced at Cross, who was slightly excited, and shook his head slightly.

This guy has been in a state of excitement ever since he found out that he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. He is simply happier than himself.

Originally, Chen Zhou planned to let Cross take this group of researchers to the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

However, the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physics made Cross himself unwilling.

He must fulfill his "driver's duty" well and accompany Chen Zhou to Stockholm to receive the award.

Chen Zhou naturally couldn't refuse this.

After all, Professor Cross, who is relatively well-known in the world of particle physics, has successfully applied for Chen Zhou's driver position since the glue ball was solved.

This can't just be a joke, but then when it's time to receive the award, you actually abandon someone, right?

This is inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

So the current arrangement was made. Cross accompanied Chen Zhou to CERN to complete the previously agreed-upon experiment in October.

Others went directly to the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and began to adapt to Chinese research institutions.

Seeing that Chen Zhou didn't speak, Cross said again: "I have also seen the news from China recently. How come you didn't become the first person in China after breaking China's record of zero? On the contrary, these people

We are all worried that you will never go back, and some people even seem to not want you to go back?"

When Chen Zhou heard these two questions, he chuckled and said, "There's no reason, there's just someone behind the scenes. When I get back, they'll know who the clown is."

After saying that, Chen Zhou changed the subject and said: "This October, during the experiment at CERN, remember to collect more experimental data."

Cross asked doubtfully: "What about you?"

Chen Zhou smiled and said: "Let's divide the work and cooperate. You collect some necessary information and I will process the data."

Cross was slightly startled, why did these words sound so familiar?

Raising his head suddenly, Cross looked at Chen Zhou with a slightly strange expression.

He remembered that when Chen Zhou first joined Friedman's research group, after the first rubber ball experiment.

This is how he and Chen Zhou divide their labor.

Chen Zhou is responsible for data processing. He...

Well, he didn't do anything...

Seeing the expression on Cross's face, Chen Zhou suddenly understood. He smiled and explained: "Don't worry, it won't be the same as before. You must have a sense of participation."

Cross: "..."

After the academic exchange at Brookhaven National Laboratory ended, the academic exchange activities between Chen Zhou and Friedman came to an end.

Chen Zhou's original study tour plan has basically been completed.

After that, only CERN's experiments were left to participate.

Speaking of CERN's experimental participation, CERN has actually been quite worried.

Especially after Chen Zhou won the Nobel Prize in Physics, he became even more worried.

He was afraid that Chen Zhou would refuse to participate in the originally agreed experiment on the grounds that he was too busy, or that Chen Zhou had joined another laboratory.

After all, the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physics directly made Chen Zhou a favorite in the particle physics community.

All over the world, major high-energy physics laboratories are trying to recruit this young scientist whose whereabouts are still a mystery.

Of course, this is except for the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The public opinion situation in China has already spread abroad.

This has also led to many foreign laboratories becoming more enthusiastic towards Chen Zhou.

Take CERN as an example. Now that China does not want to see Chen Zhou, their chances will be even greater.

Therefore, while confirming with Chen Zhou that participation in the experiment would remain unchanged.

CERN not only relieved its worries, but also started preparing follow-up plans.

Whether you can retain it in the end is one thing, but whether you do it or not is another matter entirely.

After Chen Zhou and Cross said goodbye to Friedman and others, they boarded the flight to Geneva again.

After Chen Zhou and Cross left, Friedman returned to MIT.
