Chapter 445 I Just Want to Treat You to Dinner

University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School student dormitory, Chen Yushan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the ringing of her mobile phone.

It is twelve o'clock in the morning.

He muttered in a low voice, who is calling so late, a white hand stretched out from under the quilt, dazedly touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, pressed the connect button and brought it to his ear.

"Hey--?"

Hearing her daughter's voice as if she hadn't woken up, Chen Baohua on the other end of the phone hesitated.

"You've slept?"

Hearing her father's words, Chen Yushan yawned and complained helplessly.

"Dad, you should call to account for the time difference... It's already twelve o'clock here."

Chen Baohua coughed dryly: "I thought it was only night over there, but I didn't expect it to be so late..."

"It's fine, it's fine, just tell me if there's anything important, I'll go to sleep if there's nothing important—" Chen Yushan couldn't help but yawned again.

She has long been used to this careless and caring father, and she doesn't know how he chased her mother back then.

Recently, she is writing her graduation thesis, and she has a heavy workload every day, so she is usually sleepy at night.

But compared to those brothers and sisters who were treated as free labor and stuck in graduation time, she was undoubtedly much luckier.

To be honest, Ms. Michelle's meticulous care made her a little flustered for no reason.

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you must steal. Although this sentence is not necessarily accurate, it still has some truth.

Every time she meets her eyes, Chen Yushan can see "different" things in her eyes, so that she always wonders if she has an attempt on herself to surpass the friendship between teachers and students...

In short, for the sake of her own integrity, she made up her mind that she must finish this graduation thesis quickly, and graduate early and leave early.

Hearing her daughter yawning from sleepiness, Chen Baohua felt a little distressed.

So, he didn't go around in circles on the phone anymore, and said straight to the point.

"I'm calling mainly to ask you something."

Chen Yushan: "Yeah."

Putting on a serious tone, Chen Baohua continued: "Tell Dad, what is the relationship between you and that Lu Zhou?"

Hearing these words, Chen Yushan, who was huddled under the quilt, almost coughed out.

"It's just... my friend, what else can I say. Didn't I say it last time?"

Chen Baohua asked in disbelief, "Just friends?"

Chen Yushan said dumbfoundedly: "Dad, what's the matter with you? Just tell me."

Hearing her daughter's words, Chen Baohua's expression was a little embarrassed.

To be honest, he refused the task of win over Lu Zhou. The person who entrusted this task to him obviously has no good intentions and is playing with his daughter.

But there is no way, this person is not Lao He, but the leader of the organization department.

Although he understands the importance of people like Lu Zhou to the country, after all, he is his own daughter, and he only has such a daughter.

It would be fine if the two saw each other in the first place, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case...

"...Nothing, I just want to inquire about it."

After thinking about it, Chen Baohua still can't do this kind of thing of selling a girl.

He would rather go to the United States by himself and have a business-like chat with him about the treatment when he returns home.

"I'm coming to the United States in a few days, you can help me find that surnamed Lu...cough, help me make an appointment with that Professor Lu, there are some things I want to talk to him face to face."

Chen Yushan didn't think much about it, she yawned and said, "That's fine, you can talk to him face to face, I have nothing else to do, so I'm going to sleep..."

Chen Baohua nodded: "Well, good night."

"install!"

Throwing the phone on the bedside table, Chen Yushan shrank into the quilt and continued to sleep.

However, at this moment, she suddenly realized something, the cheeks hidden under the quilt quickly heated up, and two touches of red glow floated on her face.

When she agreed just now, she didn't pay attention at all.

What should I say about this thing?

Did you just say "My dad wants to see you"?

Or "I want to take you to my dad"?

Something is wrong!

Chen Yushan, who had no sleepiness at all, couldn't help but bury her head in the quilt, wishing to crush herself to death with the quilt.

Mom, what should I do?

...

In the early morning, Lu Zhou came to the laboratory on time to start today's experiment.

With Connie's help, he doped graphene materials with N-type and P-type respectively, and then screened out small-angle twisted double-layer graphene from a large number of samples for labeling, and then placed them on the scanning electron microscope Observe its microstructure.

They need to look for two bands with a band structure close to zero dispersion.

Theoretically, the positions of these two energy bands should be determined, which are respectively on the negative doping and positive doping relative to the Dirac point of graphene.

However, in practice, it is very difficult.

But if it can be found, it will be of great help to the research of superconducting materials.

It's not just Connie in his lab, Professor Chiric is here too.

In order to complete the data collection as soon as possible, and also to complete the research of superconducting materials as soon as possible, now Lu Zhou has pulled this big cow in organic chemistry into his chariot.

Although Professor Chiric's main research is not in the direction of graphene, after hearing about Lu Zhou's project, he still showed a strong interest.

Especially after hearing that the project funding was as high as 10 million U.S. dollars, he suspended his project without saying a word, and brought his own research team to join in.

In the laboratory, Professor Chiric, standing next to Lu Zhou, suddenly spoke.

"It's already October."

Lu Zhou, who was fiddling with the scanning electron microscope, replied casually, "Yes."

Chiric: "Is your only reaction 'Yeah'?"

The hands that were fiddling with the scanning electron microscope paused slightly, and Lu Zhou wondered: "Otherwise, is there any event in October?"

Professor Chiric said with a strange expression: "Did you not pay attention to this year's Nobel Prize?"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou sighed: "My dear Mr. Chiric, if I pay attention to this thing from now on, I'm afraid I won't be able to get a good night's sleep when I become an old man."

Chiric shrugged and made a helpless expression.

"Well, it's really boring to discuss this issue with you. I thought you would look forward to it. After all, the theoretical model you made last year is really good."

Lu Zhou: "Let's leave it to time to judge this kind of thing. The Nobel Prize is not the reason for me to study."

While the two were talking, the phone in Lu Zhou's pocket vibrated.

Hearing the sound of vibration, Professor Chiric's expression was a bit strange.

Seeing the expression on Professor Chiric's face at a glance, Lu Zhou sighed: "I know what you're thinking, but it's impossible...I'll go out and answer the phone."

Professor Chiric joked: "Why don't you pick it up here, what if it's the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences?"

"Wake up, it's only the first day today!"

It is obviously impossible for the caller to be the Royal Nobel Academy of Sciences. Generally speaking, the Nobel Prize calls are made to the winners within a few minutes before the list of winners is announced.

The identity of the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry will not be announced until the 4th.

What's more, Lu Zhou is also very clear in his heart, how small is the probability of winning the Nobel Prize with just one nomination.

After the call was connected, Lu Zhou put the phone to his ear.

"Hey?"

"Student..."

Hearing some unnatural voices on the other end of the phone, Lu Zhou hesitated a little: "What?"

Chen Yushan asked cautiously, "Do you have time this weekend?"

Lu Zhou said with a strange face: "Yes, yes... what's the matter?"

"Nothing special." Chen Yushan smiled shyly, with a rare coyness, "Long time no see, I just want...to treat you to dinner."
