In John Bauer's impression, a sacred place like the Institute should be clean and orderly, with many white coats busy shuttling through it to perform their own duties. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The institute that John Bauer saw was different from all the institutes that John Bauer had worked at before.

If it weren't for Long Chengxuan's introduction, John Ball would have thought that the lounge at the entrance of the institute was the living room of some powerful person's house.

There were many random sofa combinations in the lounge, a single sofa with a coffee table, several single sofas in a ring, and even in one corner, John Ball found a staff member in a white coat sleeping soundly on a couch wrapped in a blanket.

It's so family-like.

The whole lounge was filled with the smell of coffee, and at the invitation of Long Chengxuan, John Bauer and Roger Howells each came with a cup.

To Roger Howells' surprise, there was a choice of "cat poop" coffee from Lanfang.

"Cat poop" coffee, because of its unique formation mechanism, is very popular with some Westerners. Roger Howells is single, so he is in a position to enjoy this expensive coffee in the United States, but for John Bauer, it was a new experience.

"We are here in the place of origin, so drink it casually, but I still recommend choosing the 'legion', which is more in line with the taste of our Lanfang people." Long Chengxuan has his own suggestions.

"Legion" coffee is considered to be Lanfang's local brand, which was originally a brand that only supplied the military's high-level, considering the social status of Lanfang's soldiers, so the quality of "Legion" coffee is definitely the best in Lanfang, if you remove the hidden reason behind the "cat" coffee, "Legion" coffee is more worthy of pursuit.

Of course, Long Chengxuan didn't need to explain the origin of the "cat" to Roger Howells, and casually took a box of cigars from the bar: "If you want to smoke cigars, then you have to take a few more steps, there is a dedicated smoking room next to it, but it should be overcrowded at this time." ”

Walking along the passage of the lounge, there are several small rooms with different functions, namely smoking rooms, changing rooms and so on.

Roger Howells' attention was certainly not on the direction of the smoking room, but on the box in Long Chengxuan's hand.

"Partagas—it looks like we're getting really good." Roger Howells praised from the bottom of his heart.

Partagas is one of the most famous cigar brands in Cuba, which was born a hundred years ago and has won three gold medals at the International Cigar Fair held in Paris, making it one of the most famous cigars in the world.

Partagas' cigars are available in different sizes, with the most expensive one offered by the Materials Lab.

"Of course, as I said, there is no upper limit to our funding. However, these things can only be used in the institute, not taken home, if you want your family to also feel the benefits of the institute, then you can go to the military service club, where to buy directly, with our certificates, you can enjoy a three-fold discount. Long Chengxuan helped the military service club advertise by the way.

Lanfang's military service agency does not have a preferential card, and you can enjoy different discounts with your certificates, and the researchers' certificates and the military's certificates have the same validity, and you can enjoy a three-fold discount, which is basically equivalent to the cost price. This also illustrates the identity of the researcher from another aspect, as long as he obtains the qualification of a researcher, then it is equivalent to obtaining military status in the Lanfang military.

"Military Service - You really should go shopping." John Bauer had a yearning.

The benefits of Lanfang's soldiers are now world-famous, and Americans are no strangers to them, which makes the US Army, which has been neglected in the US military system, envious. Although Lanfang has a huge sea area in China, Lanfang is still essentially a land power country, and the status of the army in Lanfang has always been very high, on a par with the navy and air force.

"That's Catherine's mission, now, let's see what we can do." Roger Howells is more active and wants to get to work right now.

Compared with John Bauer, who has family concerns, the single Roger Howells is a workaholic, and it is precisely because of this enthusiasm for work that Roger Howells can be recognized by John Bauer.

"I'm afraid it's not right now, it's too late today, and in a little while, there's a welcome dinner for two of you that needs to be attended by two people." Long Chengxuan is not in a hurry, anyway, the person has already arrived in Lanfang, and the meat is rotten in the pot: "Friendly reminder: Your Majesty will also participate." ”

The prompt was so timely that John Bauer and Roger Howells were immediately a little nervous.

"Your Majesty—do you need us to do anything to prepare?" John Bauer was a little caught off guard.

"Nothing is needed." Long Chengxuan didn't care.

Long Chengxuan and Qin Zhiyuan are also very familiar, in front of Qin Zhiyuan, Long Chengxuan has never concealed it, in Long Chengxuan's opinion, it is indeed unnecessary.

"No, no, no, at least we're going to take a shower, change our clothes, and then shave and preferably get a haircut." Roger Howells is very thoughtful, and he can't always be too sloppy to meet Qin Zhiyuan.

Truth be told, after a long journey, neither Roger Howells nor John Bauer were portrayed very well. Although the mental state of the two people is good, their physical condition is really not good, especially the image, which is simply a mess.

"If needed, the military service has a bathing center, where to provide one-stop service." Long Chengxuan's service is also very considerate.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, I don't want to see Your Majesty with wet hair." John Bauer put down his coffee and turned to leave.

Before going to the military service club, John Ball has to go home and call Catherine and them, since this is a banquet to welcome Roger Howells and John Ball, then John Ball's family should also go together, so that John Ball's family can integrate into Lanfang society faster.

Usually he looks a little unkempt on weekdays, but if he takes care of it carefully, John Ball can still clean it up, shave his beard and cut his hair, and then change into a new set of clothes, looking at the elegant and upright man in the mirror, Catherine still has red circles in her eyes.

"It's so handsome, the last time it was so handsome, it seems that it was when we got married." Catherine, dressed in an evening dress, gently hugged John Bauer from behind, a very warm scene.

"I don't feel as handsome as I am now, especially when we're standing together, thank God—" John Bauer's mood was a little agitated.

Recalling the scene when Catherine was leaving half a month ago, John Bauer's feeling was really a bit of a dream, everything that happened in the past half a month was like a dream for John Bauer, and John Bauer, who was desperate half a month ago, could not have imagined that he would be in Lanfang now, and his life has been turned upside down.

John Bauer's "thank God" has many meanings, if you want to say it carefully, John Bauer should thank God for not letting Catherine leave him, should thank Lan Fang for attaching importance to scientific researchers, and should thank Nikola Tesla, an old friend, for remembering him.

There are a lot of people to be thankful for.

"Hey, Joe, you look pretty good."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and John Bauer turned abruptly: "Mr. Nikolai—"

The joy of reunion after a long absence really made John Bauer's eyes a little wet.

"Please forgive my old friend, I have classes at Imperial University today, so I couldn't pick you up at the airport." Nikola Tesla's tone is sorry.

"No, no, no, it's just right to meet now, if it was four hours ago, I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed to see you." John Bauer was not short of humor.

Indeed, if Nikola Tesla went to pick up the plane, John Ball would indeed be embarrassed, and John Ball, who had just gotten off the plane, was indeed a little down.

"How is it feeling, is everything alright?" Nikola Tesla didn't want to mention unhappy things, and when Qin Zhiyuan took Nikola Tesla from the "Pearl of the Sea", Nikola Tesla's image was not very good.

"Very good, better than ever - I want to thank you." John Bauer sincerely.

If it weren't for Nikola Tesla's recommendation, John Ball would not have had the opportunity to come to Lanfang, even if he had the opportunity in the future, it would not be as perfect as it is now, at least now John Ball still has a complete family, which is what John Ball is most grateful for.

"You're welcome, your talent is the main reason you're here, with or without me, you'll get what you deserve." Nikola Tesla said it lightly, but I'm afraid his mood was not as calm as he seemed.

Without Lan Fang's help, Nikola Tesla would not have imagined his current situation. To put it in detail, Nikola Tesla was even worse than John Bauer when he came to Lanfang, Nikola Tesla was bankrupt and still under FBI surveillance, and if it weren't for Lanfang's help, maybe Nikola Tesla would have died in a small hotel, dying silently.

"Rest assured, I won't disgrace you." John Bauer expressed his determination.

Although John Ball and Nikola Tesla are friends, the difference between them is a bit big in terms of social status. Nikola Tesla has become famous decades ago and is a prominent figure in the American technology industry, if it were not for the suppression of some people, Nikola Tesla's achievements would definitely be more than that, and John Ball is just a university teaching assistant, although Princeton University sounds good, but it is obviously no longer on the same level as Lanfang Imperial University.

"It's not to disgrace me, it's to prove your own worth. Joe, I've always believed that your value isn't just reflected in your work as a teaching assistant, so do a good job and surprise those who once despised you. Nikola Tesla was full of encouragement.

Surprise those who once despised you!

That's right, that's how it should be.
