Chapter 630 - Level Five Biochemistry!
Chapter 630: Level Five Biochemistry!
Lu Zhou didn’t want to waste a lot of time on business. After all, his energy was limited.
Thankfully, Chen Yushan was here to help him, so he didn’t have to worry too much.
To be honest, Lu Zhou felt like asking her to come here and become CEO was undervaluing her.
After all, she was a top student from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Besides, her father was a high ranking government official in Beijing. With her background, she could easily become a CEO of a top 100 company.
Therefore, Lu Zhou agreed to most of her proposals regarding the expansion of Star Sky Technology.
After all, like she said, it would be foolish to let so much money just sit in his bank account. Money had to be invested for it to create more value. Letting it sit in a bank account would only depreciate the money.
Her eloquent speech reminded Lu Zhou of his little sister, Xiao Tong, who was studying finance in the UK.
Hopefully, when Xiao Tong graduates, she can also become as excellent as her…
The next morning.
Like usual, Lu Zhou walked into his office.
When he opened the door, he heard an excited voice.
“Professor!”
Feng Jin stood up from his desk while blushing. Lu Zhou curiously asked, “What’s up?”
“I…” Feng Jin’s cheeks were bright red. It was almost like he was on drugs as he excitedly said, “I passed!”
Lu Zhou and everyone else in the office were a little shocked by his loud voice.
The three mathematics master’s students looked jealous, but everyone else just smiled at him and continued on with their work.
Lu Zhou could relate to his feelings.
After all, when he first submitted to SCI, he was so excited he couldn’t fall asleep.
But after he submitted to Annual Mathematics, it was a lot less exciting.
“Okay, not bad.” Lu Zhou patted his shoulder and said, “Keep working hard, this is only the beginning. I hope you can publish in the big four journals.”
“Okay!” Feng Jin nodded and excitedly said, “I’ll try my best!”
After Feng Jin’s thesis passed the review, Lu Zhou could finally receive his mission rewards.
According to the system, the cumulative impact factor was 36, which was equivalent to 36,000 experience points and 360 general points. Both of his classes were given an S rating, which gave him 200,000 experience points and one lucky draw ticket.
Lu Zhou was very curious about how his classes were evaluated and why the system didn’t wait until after the exam to evaluate him. However, he carefully thought about it and realized that it made sense.
After all, he was the one who wrote and marked the exam. If the system evaluated his classes based on the students’ exam marks, it would be a little unfair.
Lunch break.
Lu Zhou lay unconscious on his chair; his consciousness was in the system space.
He stared at his characteristic panel for a while and contemplated it for a bit. He assigned the 236,000 experience to biochemistry.
[
A. Mathematics: Level 8 (444,000/3 million)
B. Physics: Level 6 (283,215/600,000)
C. Biochemistry: Level 4 (110,000/300,000)
D. Engineering: Level 5 (0/300,000)
E. Materials science: level 6 (13,000/600,000)
F. Energy science: Level 3 (0/100,000)
G. Information science: Level 2 (3,000/50,000)
General points: 3835 (Two lucky draw tickets)

Biochemistry went from level four to level five. Overall, the rewards were pretty good.Read more chapter on NovelFull
Lu Zhou looked at the two lucky draw tickets and hesitated for a bit. He didn’t use them.
First, he had to wash his face for good luck, and second, he still had some other matters to attend to…
…
Three o’clock in the afternoon.
Lu Zhou got into Wang Peng’s car and went to the airport.
He received an email from Luo Wenxuan yesterday. Luo Wenxuan was flying to Jinling today and asked if Lu Zhou had the time to pick him up.
Luo Wenxuan had helped him many times in Princeton, so Lu Zhou happily agreed.
The car was parked in the airport parking lot.
Lu Zhou got out of the car and waited for a couple of minutes. He soon saw Luo Wenxuan, who was wearing a trench coat, dragging his suitcase out of the airport.
Lu Zhou was standing next to his black sedan. He waved at Luo Wenxuan from a distance and smiled while Luo Wenxuan walked over to him.
“Why did you suddenly decide to come back to China?”
Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, “I didn’t just come back, I’m working here permanently. I came back here for the Thousand People Initiative.”
Lu Zhou smiled and jokingly said, “You’re the all-mighty Witten’s pupil, did the FBI not investigate you?”
Luo Wenxuan waved his hand and said, “Why would they investigate a nameless pawn like me? If anything, they should investigate you. Also, the United States Congress couldn’t wait for theoretical researchers like me to go back to where I came from.”
Lu Zhou said, “Do you plan on teaching at Jin Ling University?”
“I’ll see, I’ll stay here for a couple of years.” Luo Wenxuan looked at the airport and said, “If I end up liking teaching, I’ll stay here. If not, I’ll probably go to some research institute.”
Luo Wenxuan seemed kind of carefree.
After all, he was Witten’s disciple. He had traveled around the world with Witten over the past few years, and he had been to CERN in Europe and Brookhaven in America. He had basically been to all of the major theoretical physics laboratories.
Even though he wasn’t an outstanding researcher in Princeton, when it came to the domestic academic scene, he was quite nutty.
After all, the biggest shortcoming of the domestic academic community was the academic exchanges with the international academic community.
Yan University and Shuimu University had always wanted to poach Lu Zhou, not just because of his academic status or his teaching abilities, but mostly because of Lu Zhou’s connections with the international academic community.
At the very least, Lu Zhou’s connections could let a few students publish in major journals or send a few students for student exchange programs. It could even affect the entire university’s status in academia.
These connections often couldn’t be bought with money.
Why did Shuimu buy two cryogenic electron microscopes from a Princeton biology professor?
Other than the fact that they wanted a Nobel Prize, they also wanted to make connections.
Lu Zhou: “I personally think that research work and teaching doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.”
Luo Wenxuan made a helpless gesture and said, “Okay then, it seems like you’re a supporter of the Fermi model.”
“Not really.” Lu Zhou smiled and said, “It’s just my personal experience… Oh yeah.”
Luo Wenxuan: “What?”
Lu Zhou thought for a second and said, “Do you want to come work at my Institute for Advanced Study?”
