Chapter 124: Back to New York
A few days later, Locke and his party returned to Princeton University without incident, and Locke took Vanessa to a security company, where she was given a position and an apartment for her.
Then Locke went to Monica's apartment with a gift he had bought from England.
"Why, why, why."
Locke just pushed open the door with the gift, and Monica who saw Locke suddenly had three whys in a row, which made Locke a little confused for a while.
"What's wrong with her?" Locke looked at Phoebe next to him.
"Are you men all liars!" Monica asked directly at Locke.
"Which date cheated on you?" Locke quickly understood something.
"She's been deceived." Phoebe began to explain next to her.
It turned out that Monica was dating a man, the first date at the beginning, and it wasn't prepared to happen as quickly.
But the man said that his ex cheated on him and dumped him, and because of the shade of green, he has not been indescribable for a long time.
Hearing this, Monica became emotional for a while, and then it happened naturally.
It wasn't until the next day, when Monica chatted with someone, that she found out that the other party had deceived another female colleague in the same way, which made her extremely angry.
"Well, many men lie about it." Locke shrugged his shoulders: "After all, not every man has the conditions to be as good as me, and he must learn to refuse a beautiful girl who pounces on him." ”
"Huh." Monica gave Locke a roll of the eye.
"Monica, what are you arguing about, people can't rest." While he was talking, a bedroom door opened, and a blonde girl came out.
“O~M~G!” When Rachel saw Locke, she couldn't help but cry out, she didn't believe in God, but after seeing Locke, he remembered the guidance he had once again and couldn't help but cry out.
"Locke, this is my friend Rachel." Monica shrugged her shoulders and introduced.
"Hi~" Rachel waved at Locke, stroked her hair, and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you." ”
"Rachel ran away two days ago and is now my roommate." Seeing Rachel's appearance, Monica unceremoniously poked her tires.
"Monica!" Rachel couldn't help but exclaim.
"Nice to meet you." Seeing that Friends was complete, Locke smiled and said, "I didn't expect there to be a new friend here, I knew that I would prepare an extra gift in London, are Chandler there?" ”
They were across from each other, and Monica called Chandler and Joey over, and Locke gave them the gifts and talked about London for a while.
During the whole process, Rachel sat next to Locke, encountered something funny, laughed, and put her hand on Locke's lap.
It can only be said that American girls take the initiative, and Rachel finally saw the handsome guy guided by God, and she couldn't care less about being reserved under the excitement.
As a result, after a while, Rose pushed the door and walked in, and at a glance he saw Rachel's movements, and his face, which was still smiling, suddenly stinked.
Rachel has always been his goddess,!
I heard Monica say that Rachel was engaged, and he thought it was no fun, but he didn't expect fate to favor him.
After he signed the divorce agreement with Carol, he didn't come out until that day at the café, he just said that he didn't want to be single, when he saw Rachel in bridal clothes running in front of him.
Rose always thought that this was a sign that he was about to realize his dream, and when he returned, he was so excited that he almost couldn't sleep, but he didn't expect that he had seen something in just a few days.
"Hey, Ross, you're here." Locke turned around and saw Rose's stinky face, and instantly understood the reason, and said with a smile: "I just came back from London, and this is a gift for you." ”
Rose didn't reply, but sat down across from Locke, her eyes still on Rachel's hand on Locke.
Monica quickly sensed that something was wrong, and she also knew her brother's thoughts, so she hurriedly said, "So, Locke, you just said that you went to see a fashion show in London." ”
"That's right, the clothes I brought back to you are the ones I saw at the fashion show, and you're sure to like it." Locke smiled.
"You're not going for an academic exchange, and listening to what you say makes it feel like you're on vacation." Phoebe asked.
"Dr. Gate's and his team are mainly responsible for going there to communicate, my qualifications are still a little short, and the work given to me is very simple, I have more free time, but I played a little game at Cambridge."
"What little game?" Chandler asked.
"It's a little game of math, and the prize money is about 30,000 pounds, which is very small."
"Thirty thousand pounds?" I've made that much in a year, and Chandler said, "Is this still a little game? ”
"This is actually a game led by an alumni of the University of Cambridge, which is circulated in the Department of Mathematics, with a total of three levels, each of which is a math problem, and whoever solves it first can get a prize, which is very common in the mathematics world."
"Do you play games like this often?" When it comes to money, everyone is interested.
"Of course, this kind of game is not uncommon, and our school has done it, and it is not uncommon for us to have games with higher prizes.
As far as I know, Dr. Gate, from our school, won a million dollars for completing a game the year before last. ”
"A million dollars, who is so generous?" Now Rachel is interested: "Are mathematicians so profitable?" ”
"There are a lot of organizers, all kinds of mathematical research and application labs, or some anonymous organizers like to do this."
Locke thought for a moment and said, "The amount is different, last year Peggy completed a similar activity, and the prize money was not bad, it was half a million dollars. ”
"Half a million dollars is not bad!" Rose couldn't help but say, "If there is such an event, can I participate?" ”
"It's a game that's generally only for people in the math world." Locke said implicitly.
"I'm pretty good at math too." Ross emphasized unwillingly.
"Then I'll give you a little example, it's the question on the British side, the first question ......"
A group of people were still in high spirits, but after listening to Locke's words, they were all at a loss and looked at each other.
They had never heard of the mathematical formulas that Locke was talking about, let alone put them together, and they were all confused after listening to them.
At this time, everyone looked at Rose, after all, he had always claimed to be a genius, and he was the only one with a Ph.D. among several people.
"I ......"
Rose didn't want to lose face in front of the goddess, so he naturally didn't dare to say that he couldn't understand the topic, so he could only say perfunctorily: "I'm still thinking, this kind of topic can't be solved in a moment and a half." ”
"Well, this kind of thing is not something we can mix." Monica said, "Locke, Rachel is looking for a job lately, do you have anything you can introduce?" ”
"Looking for a job?" Locke looked at Rachel and thought of Rachel in the original play, after working as a waiter for a while, she was thriving in a fashion company: "Rachel, do you know anything about the luxury industry?" ”
"Of course, no one knows more about fashion than I do." When it comes to luxury, Rachel immediately comes to the spirit.
Originally, at the instigation of Monica and others, she cut off the credit card her father gave her, and she regretted it not long afterward.
With the care of her father, a surgeon, she has lived a good life since she was a child, and she regrets it at the thought of staying away from these from now on.
Especially in the last few days, the job search has not been smooth at all, originally she thought that she would accept the job of a waiter in the café downstairs first, but she didn't expect to have a turnaround here in Locke.
"A friend of mine has a company in New York that does something fashion-related, and I called and asked."
With that, Locke made a phone call to Fallon Carrington.
The business of exchanging shares in AOL from Mr. Carrington was later discussed with his daughter, Fallon Carrington.
Later, the two also contacted a few times, and Locke knew that Fallon Carrington had invested in a luxury brand company, and it should be no problem to arrange a regular position.
