Chapter 240: You Finally Stayed
"I think you have a good idea—"
Faced with Zheng Jianguo's serious appearance, Thomas knew that he was betting on the treasure, and the integer Hall effect and physical properties of the atomic-level graphite layer were discovered by the two of them, and he became the top full professor of physics in the college.
The latter received a master's degree in physics from MIT, but unfortunately was subsequently cut off by Harvard University, so when Zheng Jianguo appeared in the journal Science and became the first author of the paper on the fractional Hall effect of atomic-scale graphite layers, Thomas was not at all surprised.
After all, Zheng Jianguo is already the top expert in this field, and with the support of Harvard University, which has taken it seriously, to publish a paper in the journal "Science", it is as natural as going home.
However, Harvard University did not persuade Zheng Jianguo to continue his research in this area, and Thomas, who knew the news, almost couldn't believe his ears, but then when Zheng Jianguo said the explanation he gave, Thomas immediately took out the agreement that had been prepared a long time ago.
In terms of Zheng Jianguo's current weight in the field of solid-state physics, if he wants to go to the physics laboratory of any school to do research work after graduation, I am afraid that the director of that school will wake up laughing in his dreams, but this product focuses on medicine.
So much trouble to invite a part-time job, Thomas didn't know whether Harvard University was willing or not, of course, I heard it from Zheng Jianguo's mouth later, and now it can be confirmed that he made the first move - Professor Fisher originally wanted to wait until the March meeting to talk, but he was preempted by himself.
To be able to invite Zheng Jianguo, Thomas also thought that this research was afraid that it would enter the stage of fishing, after all, people's main research work is still on medicine, so on the first day of the official post, I wanted to see his research attitude, whether he was ready to rely on this part-time associate professor to make a living, or really wanted to do some breakthrough research.
It's just that when Zheng Jianguo opened his mouth to say his thoughts, Thomas once again felt the shock of the darkness under the lamp, and this feeling was as incredible as when he heard that the graphite layer he was looking for was on the tape, not on the graphite plate - among the many characteristics of the atomic-scale graphite layer is the electron spin, and he also knows that this spin has almost no energy loss, and it also has corresponding conductivity!
But I just didn't think about it, but to be exact, I connected it all together, and Thomas was shocked: "It's as good as you found the atomic-grade graphite layer on the tape! Especially now that you don't have to change the content of the study, just adjust the downward direction-"
With Thomas's affirmation, Zheng Jianguo was mainly catching up with the progress of the laboratory in the next time, 6 of the 12 researchers were Thomas's doctoral students, and the other 6 included 3 master's students, 2 assistant professors and 1 associate professor, all of whom were recruited at the beginning of this year, and Thomas didn't ask a few people to know him, but he found him when he was about to get off work in the evening and said: "In order to celebrate your joining the laboratory, they unanimously decided to invite you to a meal——"
Faced with the first request of his colleagues, Zheng Jianguo naturally had no reason to refuse, just looked at Thomas's gray hair and said, "Can't drink bar?"
"Of course not, it's just a simple meal, do you want to drink some?"
Thomas shook his head quickly, and then saw Zheng Jianguo also shaking his head and denying it, and then he spoke: "It's just that I know you, they admire you very much, the youngest graduate of Harvard Medical School, an associate professor at MIT, Zheng, you don't really want to be a doctor in the future, right?"
"MD and PhD are necessary courses in the joint training program, although I have not been to the hospital laboratory to see, but my task is already there, although many people and laboratories have been doing the research on the molecular aspects of Helicobacter, but this research involves the health of countless people, my purpose is to update the detection methods, to see if I can reduce the cost of testing. ”
Zheng Jianguo did not answer Thomas's question directly, in fact, even if he has no memory of his previous life, but simply let people choose between these two jobs, I am afraid that nine out of ten people will choose medical research, because the satisfaction brought by this major is not found in other fields: "In this way, all those who want to do testing can do testing, so that they can choose treatment options as soon as possible." ”
"I'm tempted to say you've made the wrong choice, but your medical heart leaves me speechless—"
The smile on Thomas's face quickly faded, he also ran to do a Helicobacter test some time ago, although the result was negative, but even if he had medical insurance, it cost almost two hundred dollars, and then he felt his admirable shock again for Zheng Jianguo's vision: "I wish you success, for all the people in the world who want to do testing-"
When it comes to the lives and health of others, Zheng Jianguo's choice has been recognized by everyone in the laboratory, but what made him a little speechless was that this group of people chose the Chinese restaurant where he and Ullica went out to eat last time - cross-bridge rice noodles.
So after sitting at the table with a smile, the boss who obviously hadn't forgotten him floated over again, and when he heard that he had become an associate professor in the laboratory, he immediately became happy: "Zheng, you finally stayed, I invited you today, and I will often come to sit in the future, and I will give you a free order~"
"Thank you boss, they invited this meal, and there will be a chance to let the boss free of charge in the future~"
Looking at the joy on the face of the boss, Zheng Jianguo still maintained a high vigilance against this inexplicable sense of intimacy, and when the old man said something in his previous words, although he didn't like it, he smiled on his face: "This time the boss can give a discount." ”
"It's easy to say, if you need it, I'll give you a twenty-percent discount today-"
The boss said with a smile and left, Zheng Jianguo looked at the people next to him and found that they were all staring at him, knowing that he was talking to this boss in Mandarin, so for these people did not understand, so he said: "The boss said that today's meal will be discounted for us, 20% off, everyone can order whatever they want to eat——"
Zheng Jianguo said that he could order whatever he wanted, but in terms of the attitude of the Americans towards rice noodles, this meal was very much a cry, and when he picked up the rice noodles that were smoother than noodles with a fork, he threw the chili oil into his eyes, and most of the meal was spent studying how to use chopsticks.
After eating, they chatted for a while, and just as Zheng Jianguo and the others were about to leave, a voice came from the table next to them: "This bottle, but it belongs to the Song Dynasty-"
"Song Dynasty bottles?"
Zheng Jianguo's footsteps stopped, turned to look at the four-person long table next to him, and saw three Asian faces sitting at the table, saying something to the light cyan bottle on the table, at this time, the youngest of them seemed to be about the same age as himself, picked up the bottle on the table with both hands and revealed the bottom of the bottle and said: "I don't lie to you, just look at the label on this to know that this bottle has been collected by many private people, and if I didn't save people, I wouldn't have taken it out and sold it-"
"Zheng—"
As the young man's voice fell, Thomas next to him looked at Zheng Jianguo, who had stopped, and suddenly everyone in the laboratory followed his gaze, and the three people on the table also noticed this group of curious friends, and Zheng Jianguo knew that this matter could not be said here: "Hey, you first-"
subconsciously wanted to take this group of people away, but Zheng Jianguo's words were changed before he finished speaking: "Let's go!"
"Well, they're gone, and I also saw that you didn't come out, are you okay?"
Thomas glanced at the three Asian faces on the table again, thinking that they were Zheng Jianguo's acquaintances: "Your friend?"
"No, it's not, let's go together, I'm going home too. ”
Smiling and didn't look back at the three people and a bottle, Zheng Jianguo followed Thomas out of the rice noodle shop to the outside, and sent Thomas away after sending Thomas to the car, and then sat in his Plymouth car and quickly got on the road, setting up the car and stepping on the flickering street lamps to St. Paul's Street, but the previous scene flashed in his mind from time to time.
Two old and one young, in the dim and unknown light, a wide-mouth porcelain bottle.
Two men and one woman, on the crowded train, a winning pull ring.
Zheng Jianguo doesn't believe in pie in the sky, the last time he went to Chinatown for a meal, he met his fellow countryman Liu Kaicai, who immigrated to the United States during the Republic of China, and this time he met an antique seller after a casual meal, I don't know if he asked Professor Thomas to leave first, would he know that these three people also have their own fellow countrymen?
This thought came to mind, Zheng Jianguo's first thought was that there was a ninety percent chance of having a relationship, after all, it was these three people who appeared in the rice noodle shop after the boss recognized him, not the one who came to the store before, and if you look at this matter with conspiracy theories, these three people are afraid that they will come to him with a bottle.
Young, rich, and don't understand antiques, if the three of them make a game to trick him, instead of approaching him with more conspiracy theories, this possibility is not small, just like the many scams that Zheng Jianguo heard in his memory, the winning pull ring can receive 10,000 yuan, and none of the three of them believe in each other, and they want to sell it because they think that it is troublesome enough to receive the prize.
Does anyone buy 8,000? What about 5,000 if no one buys it?
It's just that when Zheng Jianguo parked the car in the garage and locked the garage door, he felt that his victim paranoia was a bit serious, and he clearly remembered that after being reborn, he never revealed to anyone that he wanted to collect antiques, unless someone heard the phone call he had with Yang Na last time.
If it's just hoarding, what can compare to antiques?
After all, as the old saying goes, gold is prosperous in troubled times, and if this assumption is true, it means that you have been eavesdropped?
It's only been a day since the phone was installed, and it was tapped, so should Alec and Harris be from the FBI or the CIA?
After the free heart in his mind, Zheng Jianguo felt a bit of trouble, of course, after this idea, he remembered the paper and pen communication that Xu Mi used last time, so when he entered the house with the idea of throwing the pot with the bugging device to the monkey last time, he didn't expect to hear a bell from the front door: "Ding Dong-"
Due to the large number of bulletproof and soundproof materials installed in the room, Zheng Jianguo also specially connected a few horns to the doorbell to multiple rooms when the house was built, and when he turned to the front door from the inside, he saw Mary and Hardison standing in front of his door, and couldn't help but quickly open the door behind him and said with a smile: "Good evening, Mr. Hardison, Mrs. Hardison-"
"Hi Zheng, hello you, tomorrow is the weekend, we decided to hold a small dinner at home at noon, most of the people present are neighbors from the community, we sincerely hope that you can also come-"
The slender hands were intertwined and placed in front of the pompous, Mary's graceful cheeks were said with a gentle smile, and a pair of light blue eyes fell on Hadison's face from Zheng Jianguo's face, until he finally finished speaking, when he glanced at the room behind Zheng Jianguo, the latter also subconsciously took a step back and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, the house hasn't been cleaned up yet, come in and sit down-"
"Oh-"
Mary turned her head to look at Hardison, and saw that the latter looked directly at her and nodded, and then stepped into the room with irregular marble floors, and her eyes instantly widened when she saw the exquisite and elegant decoration style, and her face was full of admiration: "Your home is really beautiful, with a touch of Nordic simplicity, is this your own design?"
"No, this is the design from the contractor, it's not bad, I need my girlfriend to hang something on the wall, please sit down, I'm sorry I'm relatively simple here, do you drink water? I only have drinking water here-"
Although the design of the house was designed by the contractor, the elements such as the marble material and pattern of the floor, and the ceilings and lamps on the walls and roof were all required by him.
So in a sense, he also designed it, but in the face of these two people who don't need to explain so much, after Mary and Hudison sat down on the sofa in the large living room, they saw him directly holding two cups to connect the water at the faucet, so he came to the two of them and said: "I have also installed a filter device for the water here to ensure that it is cleaner than the boiling one——"
"Oh, I've heard that a newly developed filter can filter impurities down to the micron level—"
The probe took the cup and looked at the transparent liquid inside, Mary raised her slender willow eyebrows after taking a sip and said, "Yes, Hani, we can also consider installing such a set in the future, so as to avoid the danger caused by someone forgetting to boil the water, Zheng, you are fine at noon tomorrow, right?"
"If I arrive before noon, it's fine, but I'm going to the MIT lab tomorrow morning, but if I arrive at noon, will it be considered a special meal?"
Seeing that it has been a year and a half since he came to the United States, Zheng Jianguo is still the first time to accept this kind of invitation to dinner, so he knows almost nothing about this: "If you go at this time, it will bring you any trouble, it will not be good." ”
