Chapter 38 38 [Meeting an old friend in a foreign land]
Howard had a bad start, but he didn't give up, but continued to pester Peggy.
"Then sing, dance, play games, watch movies..." He suggested again and again, but what he got back was always "No, no, no!" and his tone became more and more firm and impatient.
Seeing that Peggy's affection for Howard has dropped from neutrality to indifference, and then from indifference to disgust, Howard doesn't even know it.
Xiang Nan couldn't help shaking his head, and said, "Howie, that's enough, we're about to start working, you'd better leave first."
"You want to drive me away, do you want to run away again?" Hearing what he said, Howard immediately walked over and whispered in his ear.
"Run away your sister!" Xiang Nan gave him a white look, "Didn't you notice that his attitude is getting colder and colder? If you are so ignorant and continue to pester you, you will be listed as a 'rejected account' up.
I am helping you, do you understand? "
Howard was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look at Peggy, seeing that the eyes of others looking at him were indeed full of repulsion and disgust, and his heart skipped a beat.
He often feels out of balance when it comes to chasing girls. He was obviously very bored, but he didn't feel it at all, and thought that he was deeply fascinated by him.
This is also one of the reasons why he has repeatedly failed to pick up girls.
"Okay, then I'll go first." Howard was woken up by Xiang Nan, and finally stopped clinging to him.
He waved to Peggy, "Ma'am, goodbye.", and then walked out.
"I'm sorry, Peggy." Xiang Nan apologized on his behalf, "Actually, Howie is not a bad person, but he has been single for too long, so he is too enthusiastic about girls."
"Yeah." Peggy nodded, "It's okay, let's get to work."
"There is no rush for work." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I will help you go through the entry procedures first, and after formally establishing the working relationship, we will start working."
Although Peggy is his assistant, he is hired by the school, so he also needs to sign a contract, and also needs to apply for some documents, door cards, etc.
"Okay." Peggy nodded.
…
Xiang Nan then took Peggy to the office building and accompanied her to go through various procedures.
Wherever they went, all the men, and even some women, all paid attention to them.
Of course, everyone's eyes are mostly on Peggy, and Xiang Nan is just a dispensable side dish.
However, seeing that he can accompany beautiful women, he still received a lot of jealous eyes.
After completing a series of procedures, Xiang Nan is going to take Peggy around to see if there is still some time.
As an assistant, you must run errands, so it's good to get familiar with the environment now. Moreover, Xiang Nan also quite enjoyed the feeling of being envied.
"This building is the biology building, and that building is the chemistry building. Our physics department and the geology department share the same building. The first and second floors are the physics department, the third and fourth floors are the geology department, and the corner of the first floor is the physics laboratory..." Xiang Nan introduced them one by one.
Peggy listened and took notes, and quickly remembered them.
After shopping around, it was already noon, Xiang Nan took Peggy to the cafeteria for dinner, and introduced some friends to her by the way.
Needless to say, the two came to the cafeteria and caused a sensation again.
The uncle who was in charge of cooking, saw that Peggy was so beautiful, he gave free biscuits.
"Peggy, let me introduce you. This is Dr. Leslie Wenko, an experimental physicist." Xiang Nan introduced with a smile, "Leslie, this is my assistant Peggy Swan Mori."
"Hi~", "Hi~" the two girls greeted coolly.
At this time Leonard and Howard came together, "Hi~"
"This is Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, who is also an experimental physicist. He is currently doing research on 'soft separation of cosmic radiation at sea level'." Xiang Nan sighed, and then introduced, "Howard Wolowitz, I don't need to introduce any more. Leonard, this is my assistant, Peggy Swanson."
"Hi, Miss Swanson." Leonard greeted restrainedly. In front of Peggy, he felt his heart beating hard.
"Hello, Dr. Hofstadter." Peggy smiled and greeted him lightly.
"OK, let's sit down and eat." Xiang Nan greeted with a smile.
Peggy nodded and sat down with him.
Seeing this, Howard and Leonard quickly sat down with food.
…
As soon as the four of them sat down, Sheldon came over with the food, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw Leonard sitting with Xiang Nan.
"Leonard, you should sit with me." He stared at Leonard and said seriously.
"Rui, Sheldon, you should understand." Leonard winked at Peggy.
Since he can have dinner with such a beautiful woman, he doesn't want to sit with Sheldon anymore.
Hearing what he said, Peggy looked at Sheldon suspiciously, and then suddenly asked, "You are Sheldon, Sheldon Cooper."
"Of course it's me." Sheldon said proudly.
"It really is you." Seeing his response like this, Peggy laughed immediately.
"Why, do you know each other?" Seeing that their conversation was so strange, Xiang Nan couldn't help asking in doubt.
Leonard and Howard frowned, unable to understand what was going on.
"Have you forgotten about me, I'm Peggy Swanson." Peggy stood up and said.
"Peggy?!" Sheldon looked Peggy up and down, also a little surprised, "It's really you."
"Yes, I didn't expect to see you here." Peggy said with some emotion.
"I didn't think of it either." Shelton nodded, "Okay, you can eat. Leonard, sit with me."
After finishing speaking, he took the meal and sat at another table.
Leonard rolled his eyes, and really wanted to figure out what was going on with Sheldon and her, so he immediately followed with a meal.
Seeing that Sheldon was so indifferent to her, Peggy stood on the spot with a rather disappointed expression.
"Peggy, don't worry about it. Since you know Sheldon, you should know that he doesn't have the emotions of ordinary people." Seeing this, Xiang Nan persuaded softly, "In our opinion, it is a happy event for old friends to reunite. To him, it is insignificant. He didn't intend to neglect you, and you don't need to be angry because of it. "
In the twelfth season of the show, Sheldon saw his childhood friend Tan. The two hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. It stands to reason that they should be very excited to meet again. But Sheldon just said hello to him and went about his own business.
Peggy heard what he said, and after a moment of meditation, she nodded.
Selton was so indifferent when he was a child. He is such a character, time has not changed him.
