Chapter 96 96 [Big things turned into small things, small things turned into small things]
Turning the other day, as soon as Xiang Nan and Peggy went to work, they saw Sheldon's mother and sister standing guard in front of the physics building.
"Rajesh, Peggy told us all your conditions, we will definitely agree to your request, and we will make Sheldon sincerely apologize to you." Sheldon's mother, Mary Cooper said.
"Okay, Auntie." Xiang Nan nodded.
"In fact, I am also responsible for this matter. I did not discipline Sheldon well. I also want to sincerely apologize to you." Mary Cooper said again, bowing deeply to Xiang Nan.
When Xiang Nan saw it, he quickly stepped aside.
To be honest, he was just upset with Sheldon, but not his family.
Especially Mary Cooper is already very old, about the same age as his parents, how could he be ashamed to accept a big gift from others.
"Auntie, there is no need to do this, I accept your apology." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I will try my best to help Sheldon."
"Thanks, Rajesh, you are a good boy." Mary Cooper wiped away her tears.
Xiang Nan nodded, and brought their mother and daughter to his office.
"I'll go to the principal later and ask him to intercede for Sheldon, and then ask someone to write a letter of intercession for Sheldon." He said, "By the way, lawyer, have you hired it yet?"
Mary Cooper and Missy shook their heads.
Both of them are from Texas, a superstitious god, a beautiful vase, neither of them is very smart. When this happened, I panicked and didn't know what to do.
"Let me contact the lawyer for you first and let him intervene. At least I can know Sheldon's situation." Xiang Nan said again.
"Yes, yes, thank you." Mary Cooper nodded immediately upon hearing this.
She and Missy have been here for a day, but they haven't seen Sheldon, let alone know how he is doing now, and they have been thinking about him very much.
Xiang Nan then hung up the phone with Edward, asking him to ask about Sheldon.
Although Edward also charges, he is Howard's cousin after all, and he is considered his own, so it is relatively safe and smooth to use.
"You guys have to wait a little longer, the lawyer has already started to intervene, and there should be news soon. Peggy, please entertain them first, and I will go to the principal now." Xiang Nan said again.
"Thank you, thank you." Mary Cooper thanked without opening.
Seeing that Xiang Nan is capable and methodical, Missy couldn't help but feel a little strange in his eyes.
…
Xiang Nan then went to headmaster Seibert.
"Principal, what happened to Leonard, when will he be released?" After the meeting, he asked with concern.
"I'm working hard now, so don't worry." Principal Seibert explained, "Yesterday I called them on behalf of the school, and today I'll contact some heavyweights to help speak out."
"Thank you, principal. I also asked some experts and professors to help me write a pleading letter." Xiang Nan then picked the most important people he had recruited and said, "I hope I can help Leonard."
"Okay, very good." Principal Seibert said in surprise. He didn't expect Xiang Nan to have such a deep network. Several of them are big names in the academic world, and there are many winners of the Nobel Prize and Turing Award.
With their help to intercede, Leonard's matter is likely to be reduced to a minor one.
"His problem is actually lighter than Leonard's. After all, he was caught as soon as he entered the door, and there was no loss at all. And through investigations of his call records, Internet chat records, web browsing records, etc., it was not found that he and Evidence of contacts with espionage groups.
Unlike Leonard, he actually brought out classified rocket fuel, and he did have a relationship with spy Joyce King.
It's just that the military wants to make him a serious case. That Colonel Williams is a hawkish figure, which is more difficult to deal with. "Principal Seibert said again.
"Principal, I think it's best to deal with this matter in a low-key way. Make it a minor matter." Xiang Nan suggested, "There are two leaks in the school at once, and if it spreads, it will cause great harm to the school's reputation. positive effect.
And once the military gains power, they are likely to seek greater power in the next cooperation, and even directly intervene in research projects.
At that time, the quantum navigation system and the quantum communication system may be taken away by them, and our school will suffer a great loss. So this wind cannot last long. "
Principal Seibert was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't consider this level of stakes, but it's not impossible to think about it.
Selton broke into the laboratory, and Leonard smuggled rocket fuel. These two things are very big, but they are also very small. But the military's approach is that they all want to make it big, and they all want to handle it as a spy stealing case.
Such an approach is obviously tricky. Perhaps, as Xiang Nan said, it was to strive for greater power in the future.
"Well, you're right, you really can't let them succeed." Saibot nodded.
…
After convincing Seibot, Xiang Nan returned to the office.
"I have already told the principal, and he promised to negotiate." He said to Mary Cooper, Missy and others.
Hearing what he said, both mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now I'll call again and ask someone to write a pleading letter for him." Xiang Nan said again, "There are many people who are powerful. If there are more people who support it, the Ministry of State will make concessions."
"Yes, thank you." Mary Cooper and Missy said gratefully.
Xiang Nan then started to make phone calls, asking someone to help Sheldon write a pleading letter.
However, the effect can be called tragic.
When everyone heard that they were helping Sheldon write a pleading letter, they refused directly, and some even hung up the phone directly.
I made more than 30 phone calls, but no one agreed.
Sheldon is known at school for his sharp tongue, conceit, and low EQ.
He doesn't pay attention to anyone, he is jealous of those who are smarter than him, and he makes fun of those who are dumber than him. Even the Nobel Prize winners were ignored by him, and he repeatedly made trouble at other people's speeches, and took pride in asking tricky questions to make people cry.
In the play, after he and Amy were nominated for the Nobel Prize, the school hoped to find previous Nobel Prize winners to support him. But when people heard about him, they refused to come at all. In the end, it was Leonard who went to apologize to everyone before convincing them to show respect.
So Sheldon's popularity at Caltech is really very poor, and it's not too much to say that he is hated by thousands of people.
Seeing that their son and younger brother were so unpopular at school, Mary Cooper and Missy were also embarrassed, dripping with cold sweat, unable to sit still.
Xiang Nan encountered more than 30 rebuffs, and he was a little dizzy, "Well, after the lawyer sees Sheldon, let him talk about some people who have a better relationship, and we call again, the success rate will be higher .”
Mary Cooper and Missy both nodded.
