Chapter 269: 0269 never even thought of her name_1

They were the ones who brought up unanswered scientific problems currently faced in the scientific community.

It wasn’t to solve them on the spot, but to discuss them together, to see if they could offer some ideas to other workers outside.

After all, even now, there are many issues, including mathematical theorems, that remain unproved.

This was a routine matter to bring up.

Moreover, many scholars had been keeping questions to themselves just for this moment to discuss them.

Ellen Young was one of the speakers, her topic had already been decided, and she was the last to give her presentation.

But just her sitting here was enough to surprise everyone.

"The countryside is a good place."

Bruno said with a smile, "I’d like to see the place you stay when the time comes, to see what’s different from the countryside in our foreign lands."

Of course, there was countryside abroad too. Bruno spent most of his time in his office, rarely venturing out to see the world.

This time, having come to Sina, he was quite interested in Ellen’s life.

"Alright, after it’s over, I can take you there. How is your schedule?"

Bruno waved his hand: "I’m quite free."

At his age, besides researching topics, he usually just stayed in his office. One had to accept old age; indeed, he could not match his past energy, but his passion for delving into study was still there.

Ellen smiled.

All of a sudden, Bruno said, "Do you know that Lorenzo got married again?"

Ellen: "...I really didn’t know that."

Bruno chuckled and clicked his tongue: "Lorenzo has taken himself another wife, fifty years younger than him. I don’t know where he gets all that energy from. Are math problems less attractive than women, or are theorems not enough for him to deduce?"

Ellen: "...It’s a matter of personal pursuit... perhaps?"

Lorenzo Lawrence was a mathematician whose fame was roughly on par with Bruno’s, but with fewer award wins, and his energy didn’t seem to be focused there.

Unlike Bruno’s low profile, what the world relished most about Lorenzo was his rich romantic history.

He married young at twenty-something, and because he was too intelligent, he looked down on his not-so-bright (normal) wife and got involved with the nanny at home.

He divorced after just two years of marriage, and then maintained a pace of changing partners every five years.

Being a mathematician, he was exceedingly clever and charismatic, and countless women pursued him.

Everything else changed, but the age of his wives consistently remained around twenty-five to thirty years old, neither too old nor too young.

He was nearly eighty now.

Incredible.

Bruno often gossiped with Ellen about Lorenzo’s romantic life, calling Lorenzo a bona fide scoundrel.

Ellen never offered any commentary on this.

Indeed, not every scholar is pure and sincere, and most of them seem inevitably scummy due to being too intelligent, yet aside from their romantic lives, their contributions to society cannot be denied.

Thus, humans are indeed a very contradictory species.

People behind them noticed the conversation between Ellen and Bruno.

They chatted jovially, like old friends who hadn’t seen each other in a long time.

Although Ellen was so young, she didn’t have any generation gap with Bruno.

This left Nina York behind them a bit lost.

She never imagined things could take such a dramatic turn, just as she hadn’t anticipated Ellen Young would appear here when she entered.

No, in fact, this was a name she had never even considered.
