Chapter 134: White porridge with sugar
Soon after communicating with the school secretary Comitt Brody, Zheng Jianguo also politely refused the other party's plan to send someone to pick him up and hung up the phone, and the young man in front of him also opened his mouth: "That, Zheng Jianguo, don't you communicate with your captain?"
"I was originally a supernumerary, just like those two Yan Da, I can go to report after the formalities are completed. ”
It's not that Zheng Jianguo's thoughts are a little simple, but the second paragraph he saw in the previous newspaper reminded him: "The report said that there are 50 visiting scholars studying abroad, including six female scholars. The youngest was thirty-two years old, the oldest was forty-nine, and the average age was forty-one. Among them are associate researchers, lecturers, engineers and attending doctors. Many people have achieved certain results in their own scientific research—"
Age, identity, achievements, and the three conditions all excluded Zheng Jianguo, that is, it didn't take long to talk to Director Qi after thinking about it, so he buried this idea in his heart, until he met Cheng Mi at breakfast the next day, and he said his thoughts in the face of the same problem: "If you go to study early, you can learn early-"
"That's not on this day or two, it's better to put some sugar in the white porridge, you can try it." ”
Cheng Mi said and pushed the porcelain vase in front of him forward, and continued to speak: "The embassy will open in two days, why don't you have to wait until the embassy has opened to report, what do you think?"
"Oh, I forgot about that. ”
Looking at the spoon in the porcelain vase in front of him and the sugar of the white flower, Zheng Jianguo picked it up and added three spoonfuls to the porridge bowl in front of him, and then said: "White porridge with sugar, this is a luxury in China——"
"There's no limit here, if you want to eat, I'll ask someone to get you some more. ”
Cheng Mi found that Zheng Jianguo didn't make an obvious statement, so he was a little confused about his thoughts, but he remembered that he had already reminded him, and he could be regarded as having fulfilled his due obligations, so he swallowed the rest of the words back, only thinking that he was arrogant and arrogant when he became famous as a young man, so he didn't say anything about it after breakfast.
Cheng Mi said it once and didn't continue, but Zheng Jianguo remembered it in his heart, he didn't expect to meet this kind of thing by mistake, and he had a lot of ideas under the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and three days later, after everyone was busy, he didn't find Cheng Mi, but he caught Zhao Liangliang who appeared in the distance: "Cheng Mi didn't find it, I want to find a camera to take a few more photos after the museum opens tomorrow, I don't know if you can help me bring a message to Cheng Mi?"
"That's no problem, I can get in touch with you, but it may cost extra to wash the photos. ”
Zhao Liangliang looked Zheng Jianguo up and down, and the latter was a little distracted: "This, is it okay for RMB?"
"Seeing that you are so small, I will assume that you are unintentional. ”
After Zhao Liangliang's big face looked straight, he waved his hand and continued: "Leave this to me, I'll find someone to help you take two photos, but you can only wash one piece, but the negative can be given to you, how about it?"
"Thank you so much. ”
With a covered face, Zheng Jianguo didn't wake up to what he meant by the previous words until Zhao Liangliang's back disappeared at the elevator entrance, and he couldn't help but secretly say that the other party's political vigilance was high, and he asked if the RMB was okay, and if Zhao Liangliang answered no, it was a handle?
Zheng Jianguo was a little suspicious, but this suspicion did not last long, and the next morning in the bloody March of the Volunteers, he looked at the five-star red flag and slowly rose to the top of the flagpole and stopped, that is, after the opening ceremony of the Embassy of the Republic, Cheng Mi ran over with a camera: "This is in the United States, don't ask others if the RMB is okay in the future, remember?"
"Well, remember. ”
Confirming that his thoughts were correct, Zheng Jianguo's eyes fell on the camera in his hand, and just as he was about to speak, a voice came from next to him: "Hi, Zheng, welcome to the United States-"
Bruce was wearing a long coat, his blonde hair was combed back, and his height was a head taller than Zheng Jianguo, so that he had a pair of long thighs, and then as he turned his head and took a few steps away from his thighs, he smiled after his eyes fell on Cheng Mi's camera: "Oh, Cheng, hello, can you please take a photo of me and Zheng? In this very historic moment-"
"Of course, Mr. Bruce, I'm more than happy to help you. ”
Cheng Mi said with a bright smile on his face, and after picking up the camera, he glanced at Zheng Jianguo again, only to see the two of them standing together, one tall and one short, with a calm demeanor, and a very confident smile on his slightly crooked face, he immediately pressed it against the background of the national flag fluttering in the distance: "Click." ”
"Is that okay? I'm going to make sure this picture is good. ”
Bruce stood still and opened his mouth without moving, and then shrugged his shoulders when he looked at Cheng Mi's face full of doubts: "I heard news yesterday, someone said that if the contagiousness and pathogenicity of Helicobacter are really that serious, Zheng's discovery will have a chance to win the Nobel Prize, and I will maintain a good relationship with him until then, so that I can find him if I am sick in the future-haha." ”
"Nobel—"
Zheng Jianguo was stunned for an instant, and Cheng Mi in the distance was also full of curiosity and doubt, Bruce glanced at the expressions of the two and continued: "The Nobel Prize is the highest award in the world, just like "Lancet" is for doctors, oh, no, no, no, "Lancet" is just one of many medical journals, Nobel is a higher award than them, and there are one or two winners every year around the world- Of course, the infectiousness and pathogenicity of Helicobacter need to be further studied, after all, you are still so young. ”
"Huh-"
Zheng Jianguo, who wanted to be happy for a long time, didn't reveal that he knew about the Nobel Prize, and looked at Cheng Mi, who was still full of face next to him, to know the level of understanding of the Chinese people about Nobel at this time: "I remember that it was the Nobel Prize who invented explosives, can doctors also win this award?"
"Haha-"
Bruston was happy, he felt that there was something inexplicable about this guy since he met Zheng Jianguo, and then he returned to the liaison office to realize that this kind of thing is self-confidence, and this young man who can be regarded as a half-grown child has an absolute self-confidence that other people in the republic do not have.
Seeing Zheng Jianguo's words a little funny at this time, Bruce felt that this kind of self-confidence was likely to be the confidence given by his former champion status and his graduate student status, after all, he was admitted to medical school at such a young age, which will surprise everyone in the United States: "The Nobel Prize also has chemistry and medicine——"
"Sir, chemistry is chemistry, and medicine is physiology, right?"
A long memory appeared in his mind, but Zheng Jianguo didn't open his mouth to correct this, but he didn't correct this person's thoughts, and someone next to him was not happy: "This gentleman, the Nobel Prize does not have a prize in chemistry and medicine, only a prize in physiology and medicine-"
With the voice, a middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap appeared in front of several people, his blue eyes swept over Zheng Jianguo's face and fell on Bruce's body, and he said: "I'm Comitt Brody, the secretary of the Harvard department, and I'm here to pick up Zheng Jianguo's classmates to report——"
"Ah, hello, Mr. Comitt, I'm Bruce, a friend of Zheng. ”
Bruce's eyes lit up and he poked out his hand, and Comitt reached out to shake his hand, turned his head and smiled at Zheng Jianguo: "Hello, Zheng Jianguo, we have spoken on the phone twice, this is Ms. Belinda Knowerson, the secretary of the School of Medicine, and Teacher Fan Dailin."
Ms. Fan Dailin is a native of Hong Kong Island, fluent in Chinese and English, if you agree, then the school will arrange for her to be your language reinforcement teacher after admission, and will be responsible for helping you get familiar with the school's teaching methods and learning life——"
Belinda Knowlson is a short and fat middle-aged woman, with a faint smile on her dark and round face, and a pair of curious eyes behind the big black thick glasses on the bridge of her nose. ”
“Care?”
When Belinda Knowlsson, whose face was so dark that it was shiny, raised her eyebrows, Fan Dailin, who was tall and good-looking next to her, opened her mouth and said: "Provost, what Zheng Jianguo said about Care is to help solve problems instead of help, that is, to help him grow faster in his studies." ”
“OK!”
Belinda Knowelson's round, dark face showed a bright smile: "No problem!"
"Thank you, Mr. Fan. ”
Zheng Jianguo listened to the two of them talking back and forth, and knew that his previous words were afraid of causing some misunderstanding, so he quickly changed his words and thanked him, and shook his hand with Fan Dailin, but after feeling the cold temperature on her boneless slender palm, he smiled with a relaxed smile: "Please take care of me in the future." ”
"You're welcome, it's my duty as a teacher to serve the students. ”
A gentle smile appeared on the round goose egg face, Fan Dailin withdrew his hand and said righteously and looked at Comitt next to him, who also smiled and said, "Then let's go now?"
"Then I'll go and say goodbye to the team leader and the embassy. ”
Zheng Jianguo's things have been put away, in fact, in addition to two sets of underwear, two suits and one coat that he came over this time, that is, a cotton vest and woolen pants took up too much space, turned his head to look at Bruce, and said with a smile: "Mr. Bruce, thank you for your help to me before, but I didn't have the opportunity to thank you before, now please allow me to express my gratitude to you, thank you!"
"Jianguo, you are too polite, I didn't do anything. ”
Bruce looked at Zheng Jianguo and bowed to him, knowing that this was an out-of-the-ordinary etiquette, and immediately said: "According to your cultural tradition, good people will be selflessly helped by others, so for people who can help people discover their own diseases, it is logical to be named this good person."
So you don't have to thank me for my help to you, as long as you can continue to go further on this path, that is the biggest thank you to me, to Mr. Van Dyline, to Provost Belinda Knowson, to Mr. Cormet Brody and Harvard University and the School of Medicine, this is my business card, if you encounter problems in your study life, you can contact me——"
In the face of Zheng Jianguo, Bruce didn't think much, and helped him contact "Time" before, which was also driven by subjective initiative in order to cooperate with the tasks of the boss above, which can be regarded as the icing on the cake.
In addition, Bruce later found out that this person's paper discovery was really eye-catching, which eventually led to the fact that after watching the interview with the reporter yesterday, I felt that this person's EQ was probably an order of magnitude higher than his IQ.
After all, even Emma, who is known for her ability, was tricked by Zheng Jianguo, first deliberately easing the pressure on both sides, deliberately asking carefully prepared questions after talking about other topics, and didn't want to be taken advantage of this rare opportunity to advertise his research - the front page of today's major media is Zheng Jianguo and his Helicobacter.
Zheng Jianguo hadn't seen the reports in the major media at this time, he took the business card from Bruce's hand with both hands and took Cormit Brody and others into the embassy, and after finding Cheng Mi, he said that he was going to the school to report, and he said: "This is no problem, I will let Zhao Liangliang send you over, and it happens to be regarded as a recognition door." ”
"That's good!"
Zheng Jianguo nodded, Cheng Mi went to find someone, and turned his head to say to Comit Brody next to him, and saw him nodding with a smile on his face: "Okay, I just know that there is a flight back to Boston in an hour and a half, we can go back to school for lunch——"
Nodding with a smile, Zheng Jianguo subconsciously glanced at Fan Dailin next to her, perhaps thinking that she was asking herself if she was going to fly, so she shrugged her shoulders and said in Mandarin: " The economy here is much more developed than in the Republic, and people usually choose to drive and fly by themselves when they travel, because the price of the car is not expensive, and the new ordinary car is only more than 10,000 dollars, if you buy a second-hand car, you can buy one for two or three thousand dollars, and if you really want to buy it and don't have much savings, you can also choose a thousand dollars, but there are more problems with this kind of car——"
"That's still true—it's cheaper. ”
Thinking of the domestic factors of putting aside the ticket certificate and only comparing it with the price, Zheng Jianguo quickly converted the price of the domestic vehicle at this time, and the cheapest walk-behind tractor in the domestic vehicle is also several thousand larger, as for the car, it will directly turn over to more than 100,000 yuan, and it will be nearly 100,000 US dollars at the official exchange rate-
"If you're frugal, you'll be able to buy one in about six months. ”
Fan Dailin said to Zheng Jianguo with a smile, but she didn't expect Cormit Brody next to her to change her face immediately, and she looked at her with a serious face and said, "Teacher Fan, where did you learn about Zheng Jianguo's treatment?"
