One Year Plan

The next morning, Lu Zhou went to his office.

He looked at his five students and walked to the front of the blackboard. He then cleared his throat and said, "Today, I have something to announce."

Everyone stopped working and looked at the professor standing in front of the blackboard.

Lu Zhou changed his tone to be less formal as he continued, "Yesterday, I received an invitation letter from the IMU. They invited me to participate in the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians and do a 60-minute report at the conference."

Clap clap clap…

The office was filled with applause.

Especially Hardy, his applause was the most enthusiastic. He even added a congratulatory speech.

"Congratulations, Professor Lu! I think in order to celebrate…"

Lu Zhou waved his hand and interrupted him.

"We've already had enough parties."

Hardy sighed and said, "This isn't enough, the Princeton football club has parties every week."
