"The third award winner is…

"Lu Zhou!"

The spokesman announcement was still playing back in Academician Lu's head; his cigarette butt was in the ashtray, extinguished long ago.

The awards ceremony continued.

The TV was broadcasting the awards presentation.

Lu Zhou walked on the podium wearing a suit, and he received a bright red certificate from an old man.

Academician Lu stared at the TV screen for a while before he said with an emotional tone, "… This year's higher-ups are ballsy."

Academician Xu was also staring at the bright red certificate on the TV screen. He was happy to see his own student succeed, but he felt hesitant all of a sudden.

"Do you think this is good for bad?"

"This is good!" Academician Lu lit up another cigarette and said, "This is the first-level State Natural Science Award, how can it not be good? I wish I could swap my academician title for his award."
