"Okay, Dr. Chen, you have the final say, then I'll think about going back to China to teach.

"I'm going to say hello to someone else, so I'll take my leave."

It was supposed to be a lively drinking party to celebrate the graduation of the doctorate, but one of the protagonists of the reception, Oppenheimer, began to become sullen after the conversation with Chen Muwu.

Although he was very reluctant to leave the UK and leave Dr. Chen, who had studied and worked together for three years, since the other party had already spoken so earnestly, it was difficult for him to say anything more.

Oppenheimer had begun to curse viciously in his mind at Balfour, the Chancellor of the University who had prevented Chen from becoming a professor at Cambridge University, and his gang of dogs, including Churchill, now the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom.

He thought that as soon as he returned to the United States, he would immediately contact the local media in New York and tell them how narrow-minded, conservative, jealous, and racist Britain really was.

He also sincerely hopes that the university in Stockholm can be built and put into use as soon as possible, and even considers whether he should use his anonymous identity to send a sum of money to Sweden to support local education construction.

Relying on Oppenheimer's lonely back that he couldn't go away, although Chen Muwu was also a little reluctant to see it, he was helpless.

Although he is famous at Cambridge University, he does not have an identity that can be handled, and he is still a soft-spoken person after all.

And Chen Muwu can't leave here now, first, he wants to help Rutherford, and during the time he returns to China, he will take care of all matters up and down the Cavendish laboratory, big and small, and second, he has nowhere to go.

Oppenheimer wanted the Royal Prince College in Stockholm to be built as soon as possible, and he Chen Muwu also hoped so.

So it's not just Oppenheimer who can't keep him, but Shi Ruwei, who has obtained a doctorate degree with Oppenheimer today and wears a doctor's hat, Chen Muwu still can't keep it.

Zhao Zhongyao didn't have to worry about that, because he was one of the few people who participated in the construction of the particle accelerator, and he was one of the few people in the Cavendish laboratory who could use it proficiently and can repair it.

With these skills, when he returned to Cambridge University from the European continent after installing those machines, and obtained his doctorate, even if Chen Muwu wanted to let him go, Rutherford, the director of the laboratory, would definitely be the first to jump out and say that he disagreed.

As for Shi Ruwei......

Chen Muwu got up from his seat and walked to Kapitsa, who was having a drink on the other side.

"Peter, Peter."

He patted the other man on the shoulder.

"What's wrong, Chen? On such a happy day today, why is the expression on your face sullen? Is it because the first student I supervised graduated from the school, so I feel that time has flown by and I feel a little sad? Or do you think of something new? ”

Kapitsa turned around and saw that the person standing behind him was his good friend, so he asked.

Chen Muwu still frowned: "No, I just want to talk to you about the students who also graduated today, and now they are all students under you, Shi Ruwei, what do you think of him?" ”

"Excellent, just as good as you are!" Hearing him mention his assistant's name, the expression of praise and affection on Capitsa's face began to be uncontrollable, "When you first came to Cambridge, I thought that Chinese people were as smart as you.

"Later, I met George under your introduction, and I realized that this is not the case, not everyone in China is as smart as you, you are just a special case.

Of course, I didn't mean to say that George was bad, he was a very good cook, and I still miss him after a few years. When you write to George in China, don't forget to include my greetings to him.

"Let's go back to Mr. Shi, George left Cambridge University and went to France, and you brought back Mr. Zhao and Mr. Shi from China.

"Although the two of them are not as good at cooking as George, their arrival has once again changed my perception of Chinese people.

"It is a remarkable achievement that Mr. Zhao was able to build a particle accelerator for the University of Cambridge;

"Although Mr. Shi has not been with me for a long time, I have seen from him the diligence and agility of the Chinese people, as well as the spirit of demanding truth in everything.

"I am now beginning to feel that there are not a few intelligent individuals among the Chinese, and my perception of you has not changed, Chen, you are the smartest of all the Chinese.

"The least clever thing you've ever done is that you don't drink, so I can't share my feelings with you by clinking glasses, even though I'm so excited."

Fortunately, the guy opposite is about to get married this year, otherwise Chen Muwu would have wondered if Kapitsa had been in the UK for too long, and he began to like himself.

"Flattered, flattered," he patted Kapitsa on the shoulder again, "I'm coming to you now, mainly to ask if you have any thoughts on Shi Ruwei's future plans." ”

"Mr. Shi? He hadn't really told me about his plans for the future, so I don't know what he was thinking right now. ”

"Can you think of a way to keep him at Cambridge?"

Although he was forcibly left in the Cavendish laboratory by the director Rutherford, some people at Cambridge University, and even the whole of the United Kingdom, did not want to see this situation, and they have been racking their brains to drive Chen Muwu out.

In this case, Chen Muwu had no choice but to keep an American Oppenheimer at Cambridge University, let alone his Chinese compatriot Shi Ruwei.

Trouble teacher Rutherford is definitely not suitable, because he has already left a Zhao Zhongyao this year, and he is also under a lot of pressure on his side.

Therefore, after Chen Muwu explained to Oppenheimer today, he came to find Kapitsa again to see if he could keep Shi Ruwei at Cambridge University.

Although Kapitsa didn't look serious after he was drunk, when he heard his good friend's question, the expression on his face became as serious as Chen Muwu:

"Admittedly, I admit that Mr. Shi and I have a very good understanding in the laboratory, and I also hope that he can stay with me at Cambridge University and continue to work together in scientific research, but I'm sorry, Chen, I don't think I have the ability to do this right now."

Foreigners, who are also studying and working at Cambridge University, Kapitsa's situation is slightly better than Chen Muwu's, but it is not much better.

Especially now, when the Conservative Cabinet and Su Lian have severed diplomatic relations, Kapitsa, who is about to be labeled as a spy for Su Lian, is much more difficult than Chen Muwu, and the two of them can really be regarded as difficult brothers.

Rao is like this, and Kapitsa did not forget to rack his brains to come up with an idea for his good friend.

"Can't the old crocodile think of something? I would also like to have Mr. Shi stay at Cambridge University. ”

Chen Muwu shook his head: "Not to mention that the teacher is still on his way back to Europe from New Zealand, even if others are in the laboratory now, I think this matter is difficult to achieve."

"Zhao Zhongyao will definitely be left by the teacher, but Shi Ruwei's situation is not easy to say."

In order to get Chen Muwu a professorship at Cambridge University, his teacher Rutherford, as well as Rutherford's teacher Tomson Sr., don't know how many proposals they wrote to the school's council, but each time they were rejected for various reasons and never passed.

Allowing Chen Muwu to stay in the Cavendish Laboratory is already the result of a compromise between the two sides, and if Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei are left together this year, it is estimated that Rutherford will also face a lot of pressure.

If no one has a way, there are actually only two ways left in front of Shi Ruwei.

One is to return to China, and the other is to be like Oppenheimer, relying on the golden sign of a doctoral diploma from Cambridge University, to become a university professor with less work and more money in a well-known university in the United States.

Because Shi Ruwei is Chinese, even if he is a doctor from Cambridge University, he is in the United Kingdom, which prides itself as the world's first, even if it is not Cambridge University, it is not easy to find a faculty job.

But the United States is completely different, Zhao Yuanren, who studied for a doctorate at Harvard University, can get a teaching position in an American university, so Shi Ruwei, a doctor from Cambridge University, is more of a foreign monk who can recite scriptures, and there is an inextricable connection with the academic rookie Dr. Chen, if nothing else, he will definitely be sought after by various universities in the United States.

However, it was easy to leave England, and if Shi Ruwei wanted to return to Europe in the future, he had only two options in front of him.

First, Kapitsa successfully became the director of the Mondstadt laboratory under the name of the Royal Institution in London, and appointed Shi Ru as a researcher in the laboratory.

The second is to wait for the Prince College in Stockholm to finally be built and put into use, and let Shi Ruwei also go there as a professor.

In addition to the above two items, Chen Muwu couldn't think of any other way.

However, no matter which option it is, it is only the worry of Chen Muwu and Kapitsa.

How will Shi Ruwei choose? Ultimately, it depends on his own thoughts.

"Thank you, Peter, I'll go to Shi Ruwei to talk to him about his thoughts on this matter."

Chen Muwu left Kapitsa's table again and moved to Shi Ruwei's side.

Shi Ruwei, who also earned a doctorate from Oppenheimer today, is also one of the protagonists of today's Eagle Bar.

But compared with Oppenheimer, who was lively at the beginning and became sullen after talking to Chen Muwu, Shi Ruwei has always had no sense of existence.

"Brother Shun Ruo, or should I call you Dr. Shi now?

"Congratulations on graduating from Cambridge University with a PhD. It's a pity that the contemptible person is not good at drinking, otherwise, he would definitely have a drink with his brother today. ”

"Dr. Chen, don't make fun of me. I was able to go from a person who didn't understand anything from Mr. Ye to where I am today, but it all depends on the letter you wrote to Mr. Ye at the beginning. You and Mr. Ye are both your great benefactors.

"This glass of wine should be drunk by me."

After that, Shi Ruwei picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Do you have any plans after this graduation?"

Chen Muwu was no longer polite, he got straight to the point and directly raised his own questions.

"To be honest, I haven't figured it out yet, but no matter where I stay in the future, I want to go back to China first. After all, it has been nearly three years since the last time I left the sea to come to the UK. ”

There is no need for Chen Muwu's persuasion, this is another person like Ye Gongchao, "Although Jincheng is cloudy, it is better to return home early".

However, Shi Ruwei can take the initiative to propose that he want to go back to China, because his idea coincides with Chen Muwu's.

The first international student examination in Qihai is about to start, and although the Swedish Legation in China has full support there, Chen Muwu feels that it is better to send another person of his own.

It just so happens that Shi Ruwei is still from Chongshu,—— and now this place still belongs to the ,—— of Su, which is not too far from the sea of Qihai, and after he returns to China, he can not only participate in the selection of international students, but also give those outstanding talents who have been selected to take a preparatory class before studying abroad, and talk about what they should pay attention to when they go abroad.

"Dr. Shih, you have seen what I am doing in Cambridge now, although Sir Rutherford is in charge of the laboratory, and he takes good care of me. But in the whole university, I was not really welcomed.

"So if you want to stay in Cambridge, I can't do anything, and the first thing I thought was to suggest that you go to an American university and find a position, after all, they all speak English and speak the same language.

"But since you have the idea of going back to China for a while, it's fine. I'll help you write a letter to Nanyang University, which is half of my alma mater.

"When you finish your vacation and family visits, it will not be a problem for you to become a professor or head of the physics department at Nanyang University with your Ph.D. status at Cambridge University.

"The only thing you have to pay attention to is that the situation in the country is very chaotic right now, and you have to learn to protect yourself at all times.

"When the school in Sweden is built, I hope you can go back to Europe and help me there."

Chen Muwu also wanted to talk to Shi Ruwei about the selection of international students after returning to Qihai.

But seeing that his face was already a little drunk, he decided to wait until later, not caring about the day.

Every time there is a party in the laboratory, in the end, Chen Muwuzhun is the most sober person.

Although he is now the acting director, Director Chen still has to put down the shelf to "direct the traffic", and let the more sober people send the less sober people home.

He sent Oppenheimer, who had been muttering "I don't want to go back to America," back to Christ College, and then returned to where he lived.

Tomorrow Chen Muwu will get up early in the morning and go to Wittgenstein's place for a return visit.
