At the University of Pennsylvania, in the Wharton School student apartment, Chen Yushan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the ringing of her mobile phone.

It's twelve o'clock in the morning.

muttered something to someone who called so late, a white hand stretched out from the quilt, touched the mobile phone on the bedside table in a daze, and pressed the connect button to his ear.

"Hey ——?"

Hearing the voice of his daughter not waking up, Chen Baohua on the other end of the phone hesitated.

"You slept?"

Hearing her father's words, Chen Yushan yawned and said weakly.

"Dad, you can make a phone call to calculate the jet lag...... It's twelve o'clock on our side. ”

Chen Baohua coughed dryly: "I thought it was just night over there, but I didn't expect it to be so late......"

"It's okay, it's okay, you can tell me if there's anything, I'll sleep if there's nothing important-" As she spoke, Chen Yushan couldn't help but yawn again.

She has long been accustomed to this careless father who can't take care of people, and she doesn't know how he chased her mother in the first place.

Recently, she was working on her graduation thesis, and she had a lot of work every day, so she was usually sleepy at night.

However, compared with those brothers and sisters who were used as free labor and graduated from the card, she was undoubtedly much luckier.

To be honest, Ms. Michelle's meticulous care made her inexplicably a little flustered.

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you will steal, although this sentence is not necessarily accurate, but there is some truth to it.

Every time she met her eyes, Chen Yushan could see something "different" in her eyes, so much so that she always wondered if she had an attempt to transcend the friendship between teachers and students......

In short, for the sake of her own discipline, she made up her mind that she must finish this graduation thesis quickly, and graduate early and get out of the way.

Hearing that his daughter was sleepy and yawning, Chen Baohua was also a little distressed.

So, he didn't go around in circles on the phone anymore and said straight to the point.

"I'm calling mainly to ask you about something."

Chen Yushan: "Mm-hmm. ”

Changing to a serious tone, Chen Baohua continued: "You tell Dad, what is the relationship between you and that Lu Zhou? ”

Hearing this, Chen Yushan, who was shrunk in the quilt, almost didn't cough.

"That's it...... Friend, what else could it be. Didn't I say that last time? ”

Chen Baohua asked in disbelief: "Just friends?" ”

Chen Yushan said with tears and laughter: "Dad, what's the matter with you?" Just say it. ”

Hearing his daughter's words, Chen Baohua's expression was a little embarrassed.

To be honest, he refused the task of encircling Lu Zhou. The person who gave this task to himself was obviously not at ease and was beating his daughter's idea.

But there is no way, this person is not Lao He, but the leader of the organization department.

Although he understands the importance of talents like Lu Zhou to the country, after all, he is his own daughter, and he only has such a daughter.

If the two of them had looked at each other, it would have been fine, but now it obviously doesn't seem like this......

“…… Nothing, I just wanted to inquire. ”

Thinking about it, he Chen Baohua still can't do this kind of thing of selling his daughter.

He would rather go to the United States by himself and talk to him about the treatment of returning home to him on official business.

"I'll come to the United States in a few days, and you can help me get the ...... surnamed Lu Ahem, help me make an appointment with that Professor Lu, there are some things I want to talk to him face-to-face. ”

Chen Yushan didn't think about it so much, yawned and said, "Okay, if there is anything you talk to him face-to-face, I will sleep if I have nothing else to do......"

Chen Baohua nodded: "Well, good night." ”

"Ann!"

Throwing her phone on the bedside table, Chen Yushan shrank into the quilt and continued to sleep.

However, at this moment, she suddenly realized something, and her cheeks hidden under the futon quickly warmed up, and two red glows floated on.

When she said yes just now, she didn't pay attention at all.

What the hell is going to do with this?

Do you just say "my dad wants to see you"?

Or "I want to take you to see my dad"?

There's something wrong!

Chen Yushan, who was completely sleepy, couldn't help but bury her head in the futon, eager to crush herself to death with the quilt.

Damn, what can I do?

……

Early in the morning, Lu Zhou came to the laboratory on time to start today's experiment.

With the help of Connie, he doped graphene materials with N-type and P-type respectively, and then screened out small-angle twisted double-layer graphene from a large number of samples for labeling, and then placed them under the scanning electron microscope to observe their microstructures.

They need to look for two bands with near-zero dispersion in structure.

Theoretically, the positions of these two bands should be determined, and they are in the negative and positive doping relative to the Dirac point of graphene, respectively.

However, in practice, it is very difficult.

But if it can be found, it will be of great help to the entire study of superconducting materials.

It's not just Connie in his lab, Professor Chirick is here.

In order to complete the collection of data as soon as possible, and also to complete the research of superconducting materials as soon as possible, now Lu Zhou has pulled this expert in the direction of organic chemistry into his chariot.

Although Professor Chirick's main research is not graphene, he still showed considerable interest after hearing about Lu Zhou's project.

Especially after hearing that the project funding was as high as 10 million US dollars, he suspended his project without saying a word and rushed in with his research team.

In the laboratory, Professor Chirik, who was standing next to Lu Zhou, suddenly spoke.

"It's October."

Lu Zhou, who was fiddling with the scanning electron microscope, replied casually: "Yes." ”

Chirik: "Is your reaction just 'yes'?" ”

The hand that fiddled with the scanning electron microscope paused slightly, and Lu Zhou wondered: "Otherwise, is there any activity in October?" ”

Professor Chirick looked strange and said, "You don't pay attention to this year's Nobel Prize at all?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou sighed: "My dear Mr. Chirik, if I pay attention to this thing from now on, I'm afraid that when I become an old man, I won't even want to sleep for a day." ”

Chirik shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.

"Well, it's boring to discuss this with you, I thought you'd be looking forward to it. After all, the theoretical model you did last year was really good. ”

Lu Zhou: "This kind of thing is still left to time to judge, the Nobel Prize is not my reason for doing academics." ”

While the two were talking, the mobile phone in Lu Zhou's pocket vibrate.

Hearing the sound of vibration, Professor Chirik's expression was a little strange.

Seeing through the expression on Professor Chirik's face at a glance, Lu Zhou sighed, "I know what you're thinking, but it's impossible...... I'll go out and answer a call. ”

Professor Chirik joked, "Why don't you pick it up here, what if it's a call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences?" ”

"Wake up, it's only number one today!"

Obviously, the caller could not be the Nobel Royal Academy of Sciences, and the Nobel Prize call is usually made to the winner within a few minutes before the announcement of the winners.

The identity of the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry will not be announced until the 4th.

What's more, Lu Zhou also knows very well in his heart how small the probability of winning the Nobel Prize is after one nomination.

After connecting the phone, Lu Zhou put the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Junior ......"

Hearing some unnatural voices on the other end of the phone, Lu Zhou hesitated slightly: "What?" ”

Chen Yushan asked cautiously, "Do you have time this weekend?" ”

Lu Zhou said with a strange expression: "Yes, yes...... Can I help you? ”

"Nothing special," Chen Yushan smiled shyly, a little embarrassed, "It's been a long time, I just want to...... I'd like to treat you to a meal. ”
