Chapter 12: Networking Activities
Since eating chicken and teaming up with Chen Linyou and Wang Xin, these two are like addicted to games, they must play a game every day, and they have to pull Qi Min and Hua Ruiming together.
Out of a sense of responsibility as the PI of the laboratory, Qi Min felt that she had to properly suppress the Internet addiction of these two people, so that they would not secretly open up their own black when she went to a meeting in the department. It's okay to delay the experiment, if they delay the class because of playing games, the teacher they are really responsible for may have to trouble her.
However, she was embarrassed to say it directly, so she sent a message to Hua Ruiming on WeChat: "I want to ask, do those two people in our laboratory often ask you to eat chicken recently?" ”
Hua Ruiming didn't reply immediately, probably doing an experiment.
It took more than an hour for him to reply, "yes." ”
Then he said, "Aren't we teaming up together?" ”
Qi Min was reading the literature at this time, and directly switched to the WeChat computer version and replied: "In the future, if they come to play with you during working hours, please help me refuse." ”
"What's wrong?" Hua Ruiming asked.
"I'm afraid they'll be addicted to chicken." Qi Min explained.
"No, you're afraid that they will delay you in doing the experiment." Hua Ruiming followed with a [sneer] expression.
"That's one thing, too." Qi Min replied, "It's normal that you can't play games during working hours, right?" ”
"Then you're still chatting about WeChat during working hours." Hua Ruiming joked.
"Okay, I'll get down." Qi Min replied deliberately.
"Don't mind, between experiments." Hua Ruiming hurriedly replied.
He went on to write: "Are you free on the weekend? ”
"What's the matter?" Qi Min asked.
"On Saturday, the Department of Biology and the Department of Medicine have a networking event to go hiking, will you go?" Hua Ruiming asked.
Networking events? Qi Min remembered that there was a relevant notice posted downstairs in the biology department hall, and a very eye-catching poster was made.
"Isn't it common for undergraduates to go to fellowship?" Qi Min asked him.
"This time it's a graduate and an undergraduate student together." Hua Ruiming explained, adding another sentence, "This time I went to Songshan Forest Park in Yanqing, including tickets and round-trip fares." ”
Yanqing's Songshan is obviously not as famous as Xiangshan and Xishan, and even Qi Min, as a Beijinger, has only heard of it. However, she checked it casually, and it seemed to be quite a big scenic spot.
"There's so much money in the student council that there's nowhere to spend it." Qi Min couldn't help but comment.
"That's because people don't usually go to this kind of event." Hua Ruiming responded, and then encouraged her again, "How about it, let's go on the weekend when you have time?" ”
Qi Min thought about it, it would be a good thing to go out occasionally to get close to nature. Besides, now that autumn is gradually entering, the weather is not too hot, and it should be cooler in the mountains.
So she replied to Hua Ruiming: "Okay." ”
Hua Ruiming immediately sent her the link to sign up. Qi Min clicked in and filled out the registration questionnaire, and when he returned to the chat page, he saw Hua Ruiming follow and said, "Are the two people in your laboratory going?" ”
Qi Min didn't know what Chen Linyou and Wang Xin's weekend were planning. In fact, it stands to reason that many laboratories do not have weekends off, at most single rest or half-day rest. But because of the small number of people in Qi Min's laboratory, she has a very friendly relationship with the doctoral students, and Qi Min is not too embarrassed to ask Chen Linyou and Wang Xin to come back on the weekend. What's more, in fact, they are doing cell experiments, and the two days on the weekend can be used to raise cells, and they are idle in the laboratory.
However, Hua Ruiming asked so, and Qi Min felt that he wanted to find more acquaintances to be with, so he replied: "Let me ask them." ”
Although he felt that it didn't seem to have a good impact on the PI of the laboratory to take the lead in going out to wave, Qi Min still got up from his chair and asked Chen Linyou, who was practicing Python over there, "Hey, Lin You, have you heard that there is a networking event between the Department of Biology and the Department of Medicine this Saturday?" ”
"Huh? Is it? Chen Linyou was obviously confused.
"Go to Yanqing Songshan Forest Park, are you going?" Qi Min asked.
Chen Linyou is not a local, and he probably doesn't know how far Yanqing is from the school, so he probably thought it was just going out for a spin, so he happily agreed: "Oh...... All right. ”
Got one. Qi Min forwarded the registration link to him and asked again: "What about Wang Xin?" ”
"She's gone to the cell." Chen Linyou replied, realizing that Qi Min should have asked Wang Xin if she was going, so he added, "She should be fine on Saturday, or else...... Shall I register her name first? ”
"I'll tell her when she gets back." Qi Min hurriedly said. After all, it takes two or three hours to go to Yanqing, maybe people won't have time on Saturday, and it's not appropriate to go when you sign up.
——
However, it turns out that the spare time life of first-year doctoral students is still relatively relaxed, and Wang Xin, like Chen Linyou, agreed without much hesitation.
On Saturday morning, Qi Min and they gathered at the school gate to get on the bus, and found that the 19-seat bus was not full, and from the distribution of passengers, the people who participated in this social activity were also some friends who had known each other before.
Hua Ruiming took up the back seat when he got on the bus, so Qi Min, Chen Linyou, and Wang Xin also sat down. Qi Min originally thought that this was a field internship activity, so he brought a water bottle, a sunhat, a coat, toilet water and some emergency medicine, but Hua Ruiming, Chen Linyou and Wang Xin opened their backpacks and saw that their backpacks were full of food.
"Uh...... Aren't we going to Forest Park? Qi Min asked hesitantly.
"If you don't bring food, do you want to walk in the park?" Hua Ruiming said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't bring it, I'll just give you some." ”
Wang Xin also took out her potato chips and said to Qi Min: "Senior sister, you can also eat mine." ”
Qi Min said that she didn't really want to eat it, but just thought it was strange. And she just eats Hua Ruiming's, but as a laboratory PI rubbing the snacks of her own laboratory doctoral students, she always feels suspected of abusing her power.
After the minibus started, Wang Xin, who was sitting next to Qi Min, began to take out her mobile phone to watch the drama. Qi Min glanced at it and saw that she was watching "FUTURAMA". Qi Min has watched this sci-fi animated series every season, but she still can't help but turn her head to Wang Xin to watch it.
"Senior sister, do you want to watch it together?" Wang Xin took off the earphone in her left ear and handed it to her.
Qi Min was a little embarrassed, but since she showed what she wanted to see first, there was no reason to refuse. So she looked at it with Wang Xin.
Because I have seen it before, the current plot is not particularly new for Qi Min. HOWEVER, WHEN SHE THOUGHT THAT FRY, THE PROTAGONIST OF FUTURAMA, WAS A DELIVERY PERSON, SHE COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK OF ANTON.
Qi Min felt a little irresponsibly that the time with her was also a magical experience for Anton? To put it bluntly, Anton is just an unfortunate orphan who was trafficked to the United States, and if it weren't for the kind Chinese restaurant owner before, he would only be able to do some work like food delivery, and it would be impossible to find a girlfriend with a doctorate.
However, perhaps Anton's fate predestined him to be a real chef and not be able to stay with his girlfriend with a doctorate for long, but Mimi is innocent. Qi Min felt that she had to make up for the mistakes she had made, but even if she had a teaching position, published articles and made money, would Mimi's legs be able to recover?
And Anton clearly didn't let her see Mimi, which was really a headache.
