935 To Shanghai The last Friday in February.

With a backpack on his back, Lu Zhou embarked on a jew journey.

This time, he was going to Shanghai.

According to Director Li, during the beginning of last year, the state conducted a bidding war for the ILHCRC building project.

By the middle of last year, the construction officially began. The main building had already been completed.

Actually, the Communist Party of China had a backup plan. If the international negotiations didn’t go well, they would remove the “I” and change the name to LHCRC.

Fortunately, due to the controllable nuclear fusion negotiations and the successful mission of the Mars Rescue team, China’s international reputation and image had greatly improved. Thus, the international negotiations went smoothly.

Now that the ILHCRC organization was established, various departments had begun moving into the newly-built building.

As the appointed chairman, Lu Zhou had two things to do in Shanghai. One was to unveil the new headquarters, and the other was to delegate work for various departments.

After all, top physicists and researchers around the world came all the way here to work on the project. Lu Zhou couldn’t let that go to waste.

Even though the collider was still in the construction stage, there was still research work to be done. They also had to set some by-laws.

Lu Zhou, who had handled many large-scale scientific research projects before, was more than confident to perform his duties. However, he brought Luo Wenxuan with him just in case.

Because Luo Wenxuan often visited CERN with Witten, he was familiar with CERN’s operations. If there was anything Lu Zhou forgot about, he could rely on Luo Wenxuan to help him.

More importantly, Lu Zhou still lacked a successor.

He didn’t want to stay as chairman of the ILHCRC for three terms.

Therefore, he planned on giving the role to Luo Wenxuan…

Lu Zhou got in the high-speed rail and sat down in his business class seat. He adjusted the seat to a comfortable angle and took out his laptop. He began working on the PowerPoint slides that he started last night.

This PowerPoint was regarding the various departments’ responsibilities and would be presented to the department heads.

The entire physics community had their eyes on Shanghai.

Even though he didn’t like doing PowerPoints, considering the fact that this project was going to affect China’s physics community, he had to put his head down and bear through it…

He was looking at the PowerPoint slides when he suddenly received two WeChat messages on his phone.

They were from Luo Wenxuan.

[ (shocked.jpg)]

[You’re already on the train?!]

Lu Zhou looked at the message and replied.

[I’m arriving in an hour, when are you coming?]

Luo Wenxuan: [Tomorrow! I’ll come tomorrow! I have some personal stuff to deal with… Just give me a day. Speaking of which, the unveiling ceremony of ILHCRC is in three days, right? Why are you going so early?]

Lu Zhou: [There are also other things to do prior to the unveiling ceremony. I plan on organizing a meeting with all of the department heads… What are you doing?]

Luo Wenxuan: [Uh, something important.]

Luo Wenxuan: [I have to go, see you later!]

Lu Zhou: “…”

Why do I feel like…

This guy isn’t the best person to be my successor…

Should I have a backup person?

While Lu Zhou was thinking, Xiao Ai’s message popped up on his screen.

Xiao Ai: [Master, Master, can Xiao Ai turn on Luo Wenxuan’s laptop webcam? (* `꒳́ *)]

Lu Zhou immediately said, “No, I told you, don’t abuse your powers.”

Even though he was curious about what Luo Wenxuan was doing, Lu Zhou didn’t want to spy on him.

Xiao Ai: [Oh, okay… ( ̄△ ̄;)]

Lu Zhou: “…”

Why does this thing love hacking into laptop cameras so much?

How did it develop this bad habit?

Lu Zhou felt that, as Xiao Ai’s owner, he should take the time and give Xiao Ai a lesson. Otherwise, something bad could happen in the future…

…

After a two-hour train ride, Lu Zhou got off at the Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station.

When he and Wang Peng walked out of the train station, they saw a black Audi that was parked at the exit.

The driver immediately walked out of the car and helped Wang Peng put the suitcase in the trunk. The driver then gave Wang Peng the keys.

“These are for you.”

“Okay.”

Wang Peng sat in the driver’s seat and looked at Lu Zhou through the rearview mirror.

“Going straight to the hotel?”

“Yeah, sure.”

Wang Peng nodded and set the GPS to the hotel destination.

Lu Zhou sat in the back seat. He closed his eyes and wanted to rest for a while. However, the second he began to doze off, he received a call from his phone.

He picked up the call and heard a joyful voice.

“I looked at your friends’ news feed, you’re in Shanghai?!”

Lu Zhou yawned and could tell it was Chen Yushan.

“Yeah, why?”

Two hours ago, he posted a picture of the train to his friends’ news feed.

Chen Yushan: “What a coincidence! I’m also in Shanghai!”

Lu Zhou said, “You’re here?”

“Yeah, I have to go, but I’ll send you my coordinates. Check your WeChat.”

Before Lu Zhou could respond, the phone call ended. After that, he received a location message from his WeChat.

Coincidentally, he wasn’t far from Chen Yushan’s location. He just had to turn right at the traffic lights and drive two blocks.

Lu Zhou looked at Chen Yushan’s message and sighed. He then spoke to Wang Peng.

“Don’t go to the hotel.”

Wang Peng said, “Then where?”

Lu Zhou: “I sent the location to your phone, I think it’s a coffee shop… It’s not far from here.”

“Okay.”

Wang Peng nodded without asking why. He merely turned the steering wheel and began to drive toward the new destination…
