Chapter 50 50 [University Award Candidates]
"I didn't expect that after so many years, Sheldon is still the same as before." After listening to Howard's story, Peggy couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
She and Sheldon met when they were ten years old. He was almost the same as he is now. In comparison, she is quite different from before.
In contrast, it is really a lot of emotion.
"Because he has been protected so well these years." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "He has a mother who understands and loves him, an elder brother who silently makes money to support him, and has so many friends who adore him and tolerate him. So this Many years have passed, but the edges and corners on his body are still there, and have not been polished off by wind and frost."
"Yes." Peggy nodded in agreement.
To be honest, she envied Sheldon.
His mother loves him very much, his father tolerates him, his brother and sister do not reject him, and he has so many friends who tolerate him, he is really lucky.
In comparison, she didn't have such good luck.
Her mother controls her, her father hates her, her sister is jealous of her, and she has no friends to rely on. So much so that for so many years, she has faced ups and downs alone, and it is impossible not to change.
"But it's also because his edges and corners are still there, and he has never matured, so he often hurts the people around him." Xiang Nan shook his head again and said, "I don't know whether to tolerate him so much is to love him or to hurt him. .”
Hearing what he said, Peggy and Howard fell into deep thought.
Sheldon was embraced by so many friends, which seemed to be a good thing for him, but he also lost the opportunity to learn and grow since then. Now that he is twenty-six years old, he still looks like a child who hasn't grown up.
…
In the next ten or so days, Xiang Nan was busy with work at school during the day and spent time with Lalita at night.
In terms of work, he and Peggy have successively completed "Comet Nuclei and Thermochemical Evolution of Kuiper Belt Objects", "Colour of Comet Nuclei—Comparison with Other Primitive Objects in the Solar System and Its Impact on the Origin of Comet Nuclei" and "Kuiper Belt Objects Three papers on the Orbital Dynamics of China, and also discovered three asteroids.
Such a high output shocked the industry and made the school very satisfied with it.
According to the dean of the department, Gable House, the school is likely to award him the University Science Award next year.
University Award is a very prestigious honor, often awarded to the best and most contributed elites in the school.
Caltech, as the top university in the United States, gathers talented people and geniuses. There are more than 70 Nobel Prize winners alone.
Therefore, the competition is very fierce, and the gold content of the award is also quite high.
Raj didn't have any chance originally, and he hasn't made any significant contribution in the past two years.
But after being replaced by Xiang Nan, he immediately opened the golden finger, published nearly ten influential papers, and also independently discovered a habitable planet and three asteroids.
His academic achievements are so rich that he naturally has the qualifications to compete for the university award.
Xiang Nan was naturally very happy about this news.
However, in order to ensure that he has a higher probability of winning the prize, he plans to make another big news at the beginning of the year.
…
In terms of scientific research, he, Leslie and Howard have basically completed the prototype of the quantum navigation system after so many days of tempering.
They are preparing to officially start manufacturing at the beginning of the year, striving to make a prototype within two months and obtain first-hand experimental data. Then use this to apply for a patent and invite capital to cooperate.
…
Emotionally, he and Lalita also get along very well.
The two have shows almost every night, such as eating, drinking, singing K, watching movies and so on.
It can be said that it is as good as glue, and the oil is mixed with honey, which makes Howard envious to death.
Although Xiang Nan has tried his best to create opportunities for them to understand each other and tolerate each other, he often takes Howard with him when they are dating.
But Lalita still avoided Howard, and even suggested to Xiang Nan, asking him not to bring Howard, the light bulb, to the appointment again.
This is also Xiang Nan's biggest headache.
In fact, after getting along these days, he is quite satisfied with Lalita.
She is beautiful, sexual, intelligent, and passionate, with few faults and many advantages, and the point is that she loves him very much.
But as long as she can't get along with Howard, he will be afraid to marry her every day.
So he is still trying to find a way to bridge the relationship between them.
Even if we can't be friends, at least we should live in peace.
The relationship between him and Peggy is also deepening day by day.
Since she was drunk last time and she confided her thoughts, the relationship between them seemed to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, and suddenly became smoother.
Before, although Peggy treated him very well, there was always a trace of alienation in her politeness.
Now this barrier has been broken, and their relationship is getting closer.
Xiang Nan noticed that Peggy looked at him with more and more fiery eyes, and more and more smiles on his face.
Whenever he works too long, she will take the initiative to remind him to rest more and move more, and she is more and more concerned about him.
Of course Xiang Nan also likes this beautiful girl very much.
But he has no intention of pursuing her immediately.
One Peggy's character is too sensitive, and she has been hurt many times, so rash pursuit may scare her away.
Howard is the best example. Every time he acted too hastily, every time he would scare the girls away.
Secondly, he is getting along well with Lalita now. Although Lalita is not as beautiful as Peggy, her other conditions are much better than Peggy.
For example, in terms of personality, Lalita, who grew up in a harmonious family, has a cheerful, generous, and tolerant personality. As long as you are not as weird as Howard, you can basically make friends with her.
It is more comfortable to get along with such a girl.
And Peggy has a sensitive and fragile personality. When getting along with her, you have to be cautious and have a lot of scruples, lest you hurt her feelings.
It is tiring to get along with such a girl.
But Raj is super invincible and warm, very good at listening and caring. In this regard, even the licking dog Leonard can't compare.
Therefore, Peggy's little problem should not be a problem in Raj's opinion.
…
After entering December, the school organized a trip to Geneva to visit the European Hadron Collider.
This trip, nominally an academic trip, is actually a benefit for the school’s employees.
Because members of the inspection team can bring a companion along with them besides themselves.
December is the ski season in Switzerland, and it is extremely lively.
Xiang Nan was also recommended by him to join the investigation team because he supported Dr. Gablehouse, the head of the department, to write two influential papers.
But he is still thinking about who to take to Switzerland.
