Pang Xuelin felt the soft and warm body in his arms, his body stiffened slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then wrapped his arms around Wang Muhui's shoulders, patted Wang Muhui's back and said, "Okay, Xiaohui, I haven't seen you for a few months, have you learned the hug and greeting gift of Lao Mei?" ”

Wang Muhui's pretty face turned crimson, and then she came out of Pang Xuelin's arms, brushed the hair on her sideburns with her hand, and said to hide her embarrassment and shame: "Brother Pang, why did you come to the United States, you didn't say a word to me, it's too sudden." ”

Pang Xuelin smiled: "I'll go to Princeton to do some business, and I'll stop by to see you." Isn't there a Christmas break in two more days? I'll be here for a few days, and then we'll go to Princeton for Christmas. ”

"Ahh Wang Muhui's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she said deflated, "Brother Pang, our school won't be closed until the 24th, I'm afraid I won't be able to play with you in Boston these days!" ”

Pang Xuelin smiled: "You just have to go to class, I happen to be walking around." ”

"Oh!" Wang Muhui nodded, and then said with some curiosity, "Brother Pang, how do you know the classroom where I am classing?" ”

Pang Xuelin said: "Professor Merton brought me here." ”

Wang Muhui found Robert Merton standing aside and looking at the two of them with a smile, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly said, "Professor Merton, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you just now." ”

Merton smiled: "It's okay, after all, my boyfriend finally came to visit, which is understandable." Pang, I won't bother you next, let's spend time with my girlfriend! ”

"Professor Merton, thank you today, I'll treat you to dinner with Professor Gross another day."

Pang Xuelin said.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

Merton winked at Pang Xuelin, and then turned to leave.

Wang Muhui glanced at Pang Xuelin quietly, Merton mistakenly thought that the relationship between the two was boyfriend and girlfriend, Pang Xuelin did not deny it, which made her feel a little secretly happy.

It just so happened that Pang Xuelin's eyes also looked at her, and the two looked at each other, Wang Muhui hurriedly turned her head and said, "Brother Pang, it's just time for dinner, what do you want to eat, I'll invite you to eat at noon!" ”

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "There is nothing delicious about the old and beautiful Western food, why don't we go to eat Chinese food, do you know where there are delicious Chinese restaurants near here?" ”

Wang Muhui said: "There is a Sichuan restaurant in downtown Boston, the taste is very good, we ate once when Sister Yang Quan came over some time ago, but the road is a little far, and you have to take a taxi to get there." ”

Pang Xuelin said: "Then let's go, it just so happened that I drove over." ”

Wang Muhui was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Brother Pang, do you have a car in the United States?" ”

Pang Xuelin smiled: "I just bought a second-hand car......"

Seeing Wang Muhui's surprised gaze, Pang Xuelin told her about his tenure as an adjunct professor at Princeton University.

Wang Muhui's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Pang, so you have to come to the United States for three months every year?" ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and said with a smile: "At least three months, anyway, Princeton is not far from Harvard, I just have time to come and see you, by the way, how have you been in the United States in the past few months?" What are you used to in your study and life? ”

Wang Muhui said: "There is no problem in life, I live in a bachelor apartment arranged by the school at Harvard, with a separate bathroom and kitchen. However, the pressure of schoolwork at Harvard is very high, I have three big classes every morning, from 8 o'clock in the morning to half past 12 noon, and in the afternoon I have to go to the library to check all kinds of materials, complete the tasks assigned by the teacher, and basically spend more than 14 hours a day on high-intensity study. Except on weekends, I don't cook much. ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and said: "Harvard Business School graduate students basically have to complete all the professional courses in the first year, so the learning intensity will be very high, and it will be good to wait until the second half of next year, when you only need to complete the internship and graduation thesis, there will be basically no problem." ”

Wang Muhui said with a bitter face: "I heard the teachers say this, originally I thought if I could help you register the company in advance while studying, but it turned out that Sister Yang Quan came over to help get the patent some time ago, and I didn't have time to do anything else." ”

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to register the company, let's wait for the patent to come down, by the way, where has the patent of sildenafil and atorvastatin been developed in the United States?" ”

Since China would not join the Patent Cooperation Treaty until January 1994, Pang Xuelin could not go through the PCT process when applying for international patents for sildenafil and atorvastatin, and could only apply one country at a time.

Fortunately, her secretary Yang Quan is more reliable, she herself has a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and a medical background, plus Pang Xuelin found the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Education and the Chinese Embassies in various countries through Geng Huan and Xu Jingyuan's relationship, and the patent registration of these two drugs is currently quite smooth.

After the process and technical processes of atorvastatin and sildenafil were all completed, Yang Quan immediately set off for the United States, and with the assistance of Wang Muhui, applied for North American patents for these two drugs.

Now she should be in Europe and is applying for a patent in the EU region.

As long as these two major markets are completed, they will basically occupy the main global market for these two drugs.

Wang Muhui said: "At present, we have received the acceptance notice from the US National Patent Office, but it is estimated that it will be at least the second half of next year to be officially approved." ”

"That's good!"

Pang Xuelin nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

The patent protection period begins to be counted from the date of acceptance, and since the U.S. National Patent Office has accepted the patents for these two drugs, it shows that Pfizer and Warner Lambert have not officially completed these two drugs.

This big cake has finally entered his mouth.

While chatting, the two came to the parking lot and got into the car.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the Sichuan restaurant and had an American-style Chinese meal.

After eating, Wang Muhui still had to prepare for tomorrow's seminar, so Pang Xuelin returned to Harvard University with her and spent an afternoon in the Harvard University library.

Until the evening, after the two finished eating in the school cafeteria, Wang Muhui seemed to think of something, her pretty face flushed, and asked, "Brother Pang, have you found a place to live?" ”

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Not yet, but when I came here just now, I found that there is a hotel opposite your business school, I'll go check in first, and I'll send you back to the dormitory later." ”

"Oh!"

For some reason, Wang Muhui breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but at the same time, she felt a slight sense of loss.
