Chapter 18 18【Have you met Howard? 】
After introducing Gripka and Carol to Leonard and Howard respectively, Xiang Nan and Penny held their wrists together and greeted today's guests.
Colleagues from the university, when they saw that Raj had such a beautiful girlfriend, they all showed extremely surprised expressions on their faces.
And Penny's female friends, seeing that she has such a handsome, decent, and exotic boyfriend, are also very envious of her.
There were even a few daring ones who teased Xiang Nan directly in front of Penny, and she was so angry that she almost turned her face on the spot.
"Haney, I noticed that you didn't prepare enough food." After shopping around, Penny said worriedly, "Those snacks won't last long."
Although Xiang Nan prepared a variety of snacks such as cheese balls, waffles, breadsticks, multi-flavored potato chips, pretzels, etc., these snacks can only satisfy the hunger for a while, not the hunger.
"Don't worry, I'll order pizza right away." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Well, I should have known you would be ready." Penny nodded.
Xiang Nan then ordered six large pizzas according to the head. Vegetarian, meat, sausage, seafood, fruit, eggs, each of which comes with a portion.
…
Half an hour later, the pizza was delivered.
The hot and delicious pizza makes the people who are already drunk more excited.
Xiang Nan noticed that several couples of men and women had hugged each other, and it was progressing well.
He was surprised to find that two of the girls were actually Carol and Gripka, who Penny had introduced to Howard and Leonard.
"What the **** is this?!" Xiang Nan said with wide-eyed eyes, and then he found Howard and Leonard in the corner.
I saw the two of them holding a bottle of beer each, drinking very sadly.
"Howard, Leonard, are you all right?" Xiang Nan asked with concern.
"What can I do." Howard took a sip of his drink and said with a wry smile, "This is not the first time I was dumped by a female partner at a party. I was already mentally prepared."
Leonard also looked dull.
That Gripka only heard a few words from him, but turned away without saying a word, which really hurt him.
"Don't be too sad, there are still many girls here, you can choose another one." Xiang Nan persuaded.
Penny brought over a dozen female friends today, but most of them haven't been paired yet.
"Don't deceive yourself, we are not the ones who can strike up a conversation with girls." Howard shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Seeing what he said, Xiang Nan knew that he was really sad.
Because Howard always brags that he is an expert at picking up girls, and has all kinds of strange theories and tricks for picking up girls. Although he has never succeeded once, he never admits that he has failed.
Now, he actually admits that he doesn't know how to pick up girls, which shows that he is really disheartened.
"Don't do this, I'll help you!" Seeing this, Xiang Nan dragged him behind a girl, and then lightly poked her on the back.
When the girl turned around in surprise, Xiang Nan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, "Hi, have you met Howard?"
After asking, he pointed at Howard and sent him to the girl.
The girl looked at Howard in surprise.
Howard also looked embarrassed, and said hello awkwardly, "Hi, I'm Howard."
"Hi, I'm Marianne." The girl nodded.
Seeing that things were going well, Xiang Nan immediately retreated.
"Wow, how did you do it?" Leonard witnessed the whole process and looked at Xiang Nandao in surprise.
He didn't expect that it was a miracle that Xiang Nan helped Howard strike up a girl so easily!
Xiang Nan smiled slightly.
Actually, he learned this trick from the American drama "How I Met Your Mother".
In this play, there is a character who is very good at picking up girls—Barney, he uses this trick to strike up a conversation with the male protagonist, and it is almost a hundred times.
If you want to use this trick to strike up a conversation, the most important thing is to have a thick skin.
Xiang Nan is actually not a thick-skinned person. One of the reasons why blind dates failed repeatedly before was that he was too reserved in front of girls.
But now that he became Raj, facing his identity, Xiang Nan became more courageous.
What I didn’t dare to say before, now I dare to say it. What I dared not do before, I dare to do now.
Just like Ouyang Feng in "Evil and West Poison", "Someone once asked me (who is your favorite woman), but I didn't answer. As Huang Yaoshi, I realized that the two women It’s not that hard to say a word.”
Xiang Nan then helped Leonard back to be his wingman, and helped him strike up a cute girl.
…
After helping the two of them solve the problem, Xiang Nan found Leslie Wenko who was eating pizza alone.
"Hi, Leslie." He stepped forward and smiled.
"Hi Rajesh, nice party," Leslie complimented.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, "Actually, I invited you here today because there is something I want to tell you."
"Oh, please tell me." Leslie said cheerfully.
"It's like this, Howard and I are conducting a research, once successful, it will probably change the world..." Xiang Nan simply explained, without mentioning superfluid surface tension, which is their biggest secret.
In fact, the team of Xiang Nan and Howard is not the only one who conducts superfluid research and intends to use it to manufacture quantum navigation and quantum communication.
Similar scientific research has been started since the last century, but because they ignored the surface tension of superfluid, their research and development have not been successful until now.
"We think we need your help." Xiang Nan finally said.
"Sorry, I'm currently researching the supersymmetry that symbolizes leptons, and I really can't help you." Leslie directly refused.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan frowned.
Leslie's IQ is not weaker than Sheldon's, and he has corrected his calculation errors.
And her talent as an experimental physicist can also play a role in subsequent research and development.
If she can't join, it's really a big loss.
"Leslie, what we are doing is research on quantum navigation systems, which is more valuable than lepton supersymmetry." Xiang Nan persuaded, "And we have made great progress."
"Rajesh, I know you are very smart, but the quantum navigation system is not so easy to develop." Leslie shook his head and said.
The quantum navigation system is indeed more valuable than the supersymmetry of lepton. But its development is also extremely difficult.
Since the last century, this topic has been researched, but until now even the experimental products have not been successfully produced.
"Leslie, do you dare to take a gamble, as long as you sign a non-disclosure agreement, I will let you see our progress." Xiang Nan said immediately.
After hearing this, Leslie fell into deep thought.
