"Zhou Fulin, who is this person?" As soon as Zhou Shuo put down the phone, Pang Zhou asked inexplicably.

"One, old friend." Zhou Shuo shook his head hesitantly, it was really difficult to define the relationship between him and Zhou Fulin.

Of course, the two are not friends, and if you don't look at what happened before, it's hard to just say that you know each other. However, this is a foreign country, and Zhou Fulin's father, Zhou Xinxin, once released goodwill when bidding for Huaguang Factory. If there are any entanglements for the sake of the compatriots, let's put them aside for the time being.

It's just that I also hope that this former second ancestor won't make trouble for himself.

Dangdangdang –

There was a knock on the door of the room, Li Zhi glanced at Zhou Shuo comfortingly, got up and opened the aspect.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Hello Zhou......"

Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Fulin with some distraction, and he was really impressed by the three days. Where does Zhou Fulin still have the appearance of the second ancestor today. He wore a modest slim-fitting suit today, with a red tie tied around his chest, a pair of rimless glasses on his nose, and even his hair was meticulously trimmed.

To say that he is like a white-collar worker, no one doubts it. But to say that this person is the overlord who once ran rampant in the township, anyone will shake their heads in disbelief.

Looking at this neat energy on him, it is obvious that Zhou Shuo is not the only one who has changed this year.

"Oh, yes!" Zhou Fulin stepped out of the way to reveal a woman, he pointed at her and said, "Introduction, this is my girlfriend, Zhu Xinhua." ”

Zhu Xinhua walked in the door from Zhou Fulin's side. He looked at Zhou Shuo with curious eyes. She generously stretched out her hand, tilted her head and smiled: "You are Mr. Zhou Shuo, right?" Hello, I'm Zhu Xinhua. Zhou Fulin's girlfriend. I've been known to you for a long time, but I didn't expect to see a real person today. ”

Zhou Shuo raised his eyebrows. Stretched out his hand and said, "Zhou Fulin must have said bad things about me, right?" ”

"Oh, he didn't say much of yours." Zhu Xinhua shook his head and said with a smile: "The main thing is to listen to my mother talking about you, and my ears are calloused." ”

Zhou Shuo was slightly stunned, and asked strangely, "Your mother?" Do we know each other? ”

Zhu Xinhua said with some pride: "My Chinese name follows my mother's surname, her name is Zhu Liwen, I don't know if you have heard of it." ”

"Zhu Liwen......" Zhou Shuo seemed to have some impressions of this name in his heart, and vaguely a photo of a person flooded from the bottom of his heart. The appearance of this person and Zhu Xinhua gradually coincided, which made Zhou Shuo suddenly realize: "Ms. Zhu Liwen." Isn't it a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a famous professor of physics, and the inventor of the method of "laser cooling to capture atoms......"

Zhou Shuo couldn't go on, because Ms. Zhu Liwen's most famous deeds had not yet happened. That is, in 1997, she would win the Nobel Prize in Physics for "inventing the method of cooling and trapping atoms with lasers."

The Nobel Prize is awarded on a regular basis, so sometimes if there is no heavyweight achievement, it is necessary to find one of the largest ones to be awarded. This also makes the same Nobel Prize divided into three, six, nine and so on. And Ms. Zhu Liwen's invention, even if it is not up to the first rank, is definitely the first echelon.

Compared with Zhou Shuo's plagiarized graphene invention. Her invention may not be as versatile as graphene, but it is as rich as it is, and it is truly the cutting-edge field of physics research. The technique of "laser cooling to capture atoms" can enable scientists to reach fields that have not been reached by the past. Manipulate matter as you please. This is not only a revolution in scientific research methods, but also a major breakthrough in physical theory.

"Ha Luha, I didn't expect you to really know about my mother!" Zhu Xinhua laughed proudly.

Zhou Shuo shook his head. said with an admiring smile: "Ms. Zhu Liwen's achievements are the pride of the Chinese, how could I not know the way." ”

"My mother also admires Mr. Zhou's achievements very much!" Zhu Xinhua's eyes sparkled. "When she heard that someone in China had invented the graphene production method with scotch tape, she had been talking about it at home for a long time. ”

Zhou Shuo waved his hand a little ashamedly. He's just plagiarizing someone else's technique. Compared with real scientists, there is really nothing honorable.

"Don't talk about me, don't stand at the door, please come in!"

Zhou Shuo let Zhou Fulin and Zhu Xinhua into the house, and introduced Pang Zhou to the two of them. Pang Zhou was nowhere to be seen, Zhang Luo arranged them to sit down on the sofa, and poured a new cup of coffee for everyone.

"I heard my father say that Mr. Zhou was sick, so I came to visit." Zhou Fulin took a small sip of the coffee cup, and asked with concern: "I don't know how Mr. Zhou is now, is he getting better?" ”

Zhou Shuo scratched his head rarely, since the authority he wielded was getting heavier, he hadn't done this somewhat immature action for a long time. Looking at Zhou Fulin's polite appearance now, he couldn't help but recall some of the years of hard struggle.

The so-called nature of the country is easy to change, but people will always encounter something that completely changes their entire life in their lives. Some people are after experiencing the great rights and wrongs, and some people may just feel the feelings of falling spring and autumn, and their lives suddenly turn a corner. There will always be a time when people stand at a crossroads, maybe it is just a gentle push from an external force, and the result is another world.

In fact, Zhou Fulin's nature may not be so bad. Perhaps more of it is the influence of the upbringing environment and the people around him, hovering between longing for his father's approval and giving up on himself. The so-called rich second generation is the same, to put it bluntly, a nose and a mouth, just an ordinary person.

In short, no matter whether Zhou Fulin really changed his mind or became deeply hidden, he finally grew on the road of life.

Zhou Shuo humbly shook his head and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhou and your concern, that is, I have worked a little harder, and there is no big problem." ”

"Whew-" Zhou Fulin exhaled and smiled with relief: "It's good that Mr. Zhou has nothing to do, you are now a flag of our Chinese in the United States, you can't fall!" ”

"Oh, the flag?" Zhou Shuo asked inexplicably: "Why don't I know Lu Dao, when did I have such a title?" ”

"You don't know what to do?" Zhou Fulin was also stunned for a moment, and then shook his head and said: "The Internet is a technology that Americans are proud of, but let Mr. Zhou punch Netscape and kick Microsoft, stunned to lay down a piece of rivers and mountains, and we international students say that you have won glory for the Chinese." ”

Zhu Xinhua nodded violently on the side and said approvingly: "No, even my mother said that if Mr. Zhou is interested, he can recommend you to join the '100 People Club'." ”

"The 100-person meeting?" When Zhou Shuo heard this name, he immediately felt very tall. There is a bit of a mysterious feeling like "Bamboo Hermit Society" or "Mason Freemasonry".

"What is this hundred people going to do, it can't be an organization that secretly manipulates the world realm, right?"

"Ha Luha, Mr. Zhou, you are so funny!" Zhu Xinhua was amused by Zhou Shuo's speculation, waved his hand and said: "The Committee of 100 is just an elite organization of Chinese in the United States, and its members are all influential and well-known Chinese in American society, and the membership standards are very strict. It must be recommended by members, and then all members will be approved before they will be accepted. ”

The so-called Committee of 100 is a Chinese organization composed of influential Chinese Americans in the United States, dedicated to promoting political and economic exchanges between China and the United States, and making efforts for Chinese Americans to take root in the United States. At its peak, there were only more than 100 members of the entire organization, but all of them were elites of Chinese in the United States. They are not shy about taking a clear political stance and have frequently raised their voices on issues such as foreign affairs, trade policy, and civil rights.

Although the Committee of 100 is not a for-profit organization, its members are very united. Not only does it pay a large amount of membership fees every year to develop the public welfare undertakings of Chinese Americans, but it also does not hesitate to exert the influence of its members and increase the social status of Chinese in the United States through other means.

"But I'm not Chinese! I am a serious Chinese, and I am not without Chinese nationality. Zhou Shuo shook his head regretfully, looking a little inexplicable.

Zhu Xinhua said as a matter of course: "Mr. Zhou has made such great achievements in the United States now, it is very easy to become a naturalized citizen." ”

Zhou Shuo shook his head like a rattle, and said: "Impossible, although it is easy for me to become an American citizen, I will never come back if I lose my Chinese nationality." ”

"You have achieved so much in the United States now, why do you still hold Chinese nationality......

Zhu Xinhua was halfway through speaking, Zhou Fulin hurriedly pulled her clothes and glared at her with stern eyes.

"Mr. Zhou, don't care, Xinhua grew up in the United States and doesn't understand our feelings very well." Zhou Fulin said in a sincere tone.

Zhou Shuo waved his hand, Zhu Xinhua is already very good. Some ABCs will even discriminate against Chinese and everything in China more fiercely than whites because of their origins, just to sever their racial ties and be a pure "American".

Besides, this was 1995, when the fever of going abroad was in vogue. A large number of outstanding Chinese at this time were proud to be able to develop in the United States. The general environment is like this, and Zhou Shuo is powerless to change anything.

Anyway, in just 20 years, the fever of going abroad will become the fever of returning home. Those who have experienced that era will understand that it is not unpatriotic that they want to go abroad, but a general atmosphere. Some people come back later, and some people really emigrate, and it's all a personal choice. Zhou Shuo didn't have the mood to stand on the shore and laugh at others, he had never dreamed of going abroad before he was reborn.

Nowadays, it is precisely because the Chinese have really stood up that they can look back on those arduous histories with tolerance and openness. (To be continued......)
