Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Human Love

Wu Xiaotian and Jiang Gu are in the same laboratory. Although he is more diligent than Jiang Gu, their boss Xu Mei actually treated him differently at the beginning.Doctors from China, compared with those who graduated in the United States, no matter what their actual level is, the boss always looks at the doctors who graduated in the United States.This kind of prejudice generally exists in the minds of many laboratory bosses.A woman from Taiwan like Xu Mei has worked hard in the United States for many years, so she especially values ​​the background of her subordinates.Xu Mei is in her fifties and has no children yet. Both her and her husband's hobby lies in collecting oil paintings.Her home is like a gallery.A few years ago, she almost won the Nobel Prize, so her status in their department is very important.

Wu Xiaotian is the same as Jiang Gu, and he works on the same cancer cells, but Wu Xiaotian's treatment is no different from that of a Technician who is engaged in general technical work in the laboratory.He was responsible for killing mice and separating cells every day. After three months, his appetite became worse and worse.He didn't even have a chance to present at a Lab meeting.But he was still working hard, he thought, with his own ability, one day he would make it through.It may be more beneficial to suffer more in front of you. But Jiang Gu was different.Tony, the Jew in their laboratory, later went to a big pharmaceutical company, where his annual salary was more than twice that of the laboratory.Originally, he was the leader in the laboratory. As soon as he left, Xu Mei decided that Jiang Gu would take over the experiment that was about to end.In fact, Jiang Gu just added some data, and more than three months later, the paper was published in the journal Cell.

Wu Xiaotian didn't say anything, but he was very unconvinced in his heart.He thought that he was responsible for more than half of Jiang Gu's data, but when the paper was published, his name was ranked second to last. As we all know, when a paper is published, the main author is usually ranked first, and the name of the boss is ranked last.Wu Xiaotian's name is in front of the boss, which means that his contribution in this experiment is actually dispensable.This is equivalent to saying that he has achieved almost nothing in the past three months since he came to the laboratory.He was very depressed because of this.When he learned about the news that the paper was going to be published, he went back to the apartment early without saying a word.

That night, he bought a bottle of California red wine. The wife and children of Mr. Cheng who lived with him had already gone to bed, and Mr. Cheng was still watching NBA games by himself. He was a die-hard supporter of the LA Lakers and had never missed a Lakers game.Wu Xiaotian took two cups and wanted to have a drink with Mr. Cheng, but he declined.As soon as Mr. Cheng set up the dragon gate array, he was very well-organized.He used to play basketball at school, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut when he croaked. Wu Xiaotian originally wanted to confide in him, but in the end he didn't even have the space to interject. His ears were filled with players' names and the Lakers' game after game, so he had to drink in a muffled voice.

Later, Mr. Cheng was tired of talking, and the game was over.Suddenly he asked Wu Xiaotian, "Do you have a girlfriend named Judy? With a southern accent." Wu Xiaotian was taken aback, and blurted out: "How do you know? But she is not my girlfriend." Mr. Cheng smiled and said, "She called just now and asked you to call her back when you come back. Her voice is sweet, like singing from Hong Kong and Taiwan." After hearing this, Wu Xiaotian called Chen Qiudi, but no one answered.No one answered her cell phone. He thought that maybe Chen Qiudi was already asleep at this time.He remembered that after meeting Chen Qiudi last time, he never contacted her again.Chen Qiudi called his laboratory twice, but he turned them down on the excuse that he was not available.He thought that he didn't want to get too close to her right now until some results were mixed in the laboratory.But today he was in a dull mood, so he really wanted to chat with her.When he was drunk until almost eleven o'clock, he called Chen Qiudi again in a daze.

Unexpectedly, it was a man who answered the phone. He said that Chen Qiudi was taking a shower.He asked who Wu Xiaotian was? Wu Xiaotian heard that man's loud voice, and his tone seemed to be very close to Chen Qiudi, so he suddenly understood a little bit. When he put down the microphone, he felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark.It turned out that the whole city she told him last time was a lie.He felt he had been cheated again.He thought: This is America, no one can believe what he says!This has to be accepted.He remembered what He Ru told him, and probably nine out of ten were false.He used to be the closest person, and everyone was coaxing him. It seems that the United States is indeed a place for people to mature!

He thought, if he still wanted to fight for his reputation here, he would have to work hard in his career. He went to the bathroom, flushed his face with water, and then looked at himself in the mirror. In the mirror, his face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, like a gambler who had lost everything.Suddenly he couldn't hold back his tears. The next day, when Wu Xiaotian was killing mice in the laboratory, Jiang Gu came in and told him that a woman had called him.He guessed that it might be from Chen Qiudi, so he asked Jiang Gu to tell her that he was not free.But Jiang Gu went for a while and then came back, saying that the woman must see him.

Wu Xiaotian had no choice but to answer the phone.I only heard Chen Qiudi say: "Xiaotian, did you call me last night?" He replied vaguely, "That's what I asked for! I'm full." Chen Qiudi said with a smile: "Don't think wrong. My dad came to visit me from Taiwan the day before yesterday, and he answered the phone last night. He also asked me who are you?" Wu Xiaotian was inexplicably relieved after hearing this.He had heard Chen Qiudi introduce her father before, he was an old soldier, no wonder his voice was so rough.He asked, "Have you told him who I am?"

Chen Qiudi smiled and said, "Of course I told him. I said you are my boyfriend and we are getting married." Wu Xiaotian said: "Nonsense! Who are we now! We are still married!" Chen Qiudi said: "What, you want to renege on your debt?! We two have been a de facto husband and wife for a long time?" Wu Xiaotian originally wanted to say, who is reneging on the debt?Later, he changed his words and said: "That was in the past. I think we are still just ordinary friends. The past is over after all, it's no big deal. My career hasn't started yet." Chen Qiudi said: "Is your career more important than mine? I know I owe you, but I don't want to repay your debt, but my love."

Wu Xiaotian said: "If this is the case, you don't have to pay back the love. I did come to the United States for you at first, but now I am working hard for my career. I don't want to be a loser here, in a foreign country, being People look down on me. One day I will have a bright future!" Chen Qiudi said: "So, did you really break up with me like this? You know, you owe me too!" Wu Xiaotian held the microphone and remained silent.Chen Qiudi calmed down and said, "Xiaotian, my dad wants to see you. Tomorrow is the weekend, would you like to come over? Let's go to Hollywood with my dad."

Wu Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Okay. I'll go and see your dad. But don't mention anything about marriage!" Chen Qiudi smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to help it! Let's go to 'China Town' with my dad tomorrow."
