Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Easter

Tony left Xu Mei's laboratory and went to a pharmaceutical company.He was the most respected person in the lab by Xu Mei. Xu Mei persuaded him twice and promised him a salary increase, but he still insisted on leaving.Because the annual salary in that company is twice as high as that in the university, and there is still a considerable amount of Bonus at the end of the year.As the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. Not long after Tony left, Xu Mei recruited another female Postdoctoral from the University of Toronto, Canada.The girl was Stacy, tall and handsome, with a lively personality, and she quickly attracted the likes of most people in the laboratory.She is also very interested in Chinese culture, so she often chats with Wu Xiaotian and Jiang Gu, asking questions about this and that, and asks them to teach her Chinese in her free time.She said that she had visited Tibet two years ago, and it seemed that it was not as mysterious as she had imagined.It's just that the sky on the plateau is particularly charming.Once she actually saw two Tibetans fighting with sharp Tibetan knives on Bajiao Street in Lhasa. One stabbed the other's stomach with a knife, and the point of the knife came out from the back of the man, which scared her. Almost passed out.

Wu Xiaotian didn't want to talk to her about such sensitive topics, so he usually did experiments after a few perfunctory sentences.He just came from the mainland, so he is not sure about the mentality of foreigners here.On the contrary, Jiang Gu chatted with her about the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western cultures with great interest.In fact, Jiang Gu only has a half-knowledge of Chinese culture, but he is methodical in coaxing the little girl Stacy, and makes a mess of Stacy's admiration. Wu Xiaotian listened and couldn't help laughing secretly. Stacy heard that Jiang Gu came from J University in DC, so she asked him if he had a girlfriend?Jiang Gu said that he has been there for a long time, but he is not married yet, he doesn't want to get married too early, "That's a nightmare!" he said.

Wu Xiaotian thought to himself, it seems that Jiang Gu is trying to tease Stacy, if Bai Guo finds out about this, he will have to bite him to death.It seems that when Jiang Gu was at J University, he must have spent a lot of time.A person like him who is handsome and can speak well is the idol in the little girl's heart. But Wu Xiaotian can't even take care of his own affairs now, how can he take care of other people's affairs?When he is free, he usually goes to the movie theater at most, or he goes to various museums in the city, or goes for a walk on the beach. Occasionally, he also called He Ru, but he always met with lukewarm words like "What's the matter?"Later, he didn't even call her on the phone.He thought, for a woman as sensitive as He Ru, if he gets too clingy with her, he will end up making fun of himself.So he spent almost all his free time in the laboratory.His daily operating procedures are very simple: go from the apartment to the laboratory during the day, eat outside, and return from the laboratory to the apartment in the middle of the night.

Even so, he felt that his life was quite fulfilling, and he was used to being alone.Moreover, being alone in a foreign country can somewhat relieve the mental pressure caused by the failure of the dispatch business.He thought that with his hard work, he would definitely achieve success in the future. Ever since he broke up with Chen Qiudi's father and daughter over dinner, he seemed to have forgotten about Chen Qiudi.But falling in love with a woman is not easy, and it seems even more difficult to forget a woman.He had no choice but to get rid of these troublesome thoughts in his busy schedule.

After more than a month, his Data finally had some clues, and Xu Mei began to treat him differently.She often invites him to her office to talk about some topics and ask him to prepare to write a paper.Wu Xiaotian was well-behaved and kind when he was working in China, and after getting along with Xu Mei for a while, he left a good impression on her. On the night of Easter, Xu Mei invited more than a dozen postdoctoral fellows, doctoral students, technicians and their families in her laboratory to a party at her home.Because Bai Guo had to work overtime, Jiang Gu went by himself. He was afraid that he would not be able to enjoy himself while Bai Guo was around.Throughout the evening, he and Stacy were together, and the two chatted passionately.

Both Xu Mei and her husband are experts in prostate cancer. A few years ago, Xu Mei missed the Nobel Prize in Medicine, and she still regrets it.Both husband and wife are obsessed with science, and they have no children in their early fifties.The house of their family is very spacious, with all kinds of famous paintings collected for many years hanging everywhere, and each room is arranged in an orderly manner, quite artistic. Xu Mei also cooks delicious Chinese food, even though the couple usually eat Western food most of the time.This is something Wu Xiaotian didn't expect. That day Xu Mei cooked in person and cooked more than a dozen dishes, all of which were unique.

When Wu Xiaotian was in China in the past, he ate all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. After seeing those dishes, he still couldn't help his eyes shine.Xu Mei's husband, Xiao Qingsan, took everyone around the house and explained the origins of the famous paintings.Jiang Gu and Stacy showed great interest in those famous paintings. Wu Xiaotian is not very interested in painting. He always thinks that it is an arty decoration of idlers, and only science is real.However, he still admired the achievements of Xu Mei and his wife, and thought to himself, if he could become like their couple in the future, his life would be worthwhile.

At this time, he suddenly thought of He Ru, and felt a sense of loss in his heart, sour and unspeakable. The host, Xiao Qingsan, doesn't drink much, but he can make good cocktails.That night, he showed off twice in front of everyone.He mixed gin with Cherry brandy, then added lemon juice, put in lime slices, then stirred in Sugar syrup, and finally mixed in five pieces of dry ice, and poured soda water requested by guests with different tastes. Wu Xiaotian watched from the sidelines, and his alcohol addiction suddenly came up.Because he was in a bad mood, he drank two glasses of thick cocktail made by Xiao Qingsan in a row, and then drank five bottles of beer. In the end, he was so drunk that he couldn't even turn his tongue.

After the party, Jiang Gu and Stacy drove him back to the apartment.The Chengs were startled when they saw this.As soon as Wu Xiaotian lay down, he called He Ru's name vaguely in his mouth, and then fell asleep in a daze.He fell asleep until noon the next day when he woke up, only to feel that his head was about to split open. He suddenly remembered that there was an important experiment to be done today, so he got up in a trance, washed up, and hurried to the laboratory. That night, Jiang Gu heard Wu Xiaotian calling He Ru's name, and wondered in his heart: Isn't this Bai Guo's girlfriend?Did Wu Xiaotian have any relationship with her? !So after he got home, he told this to Bai Guo who had just come back from get off work, and Bai Guo said, "It's strange. I never heard of He Ru having a boyfriend! Look at her, she's so arrogant and self-admired. Could it be that you heard wrong?"

Jiang Gu said with a smile: "People say the truth after drinking, how could my ears get it wrong?!" In order to prove the reliability of what Jiang Gu said, at noon the next day, Bai Guo dialed He Ru's cell phone.He Ru was receiving a client from Japan at that time, and she had no free time, so she asked Bai Guo to call her home again in the evening to have a good chat with her. The two haven't seen each other for some days.Bai Guo was full of curiosity about He Ru and Wu Xiaotian's affairs, wishing that the sky would soon get dark.But the terrible thing was that when she was about to leave work, her boss suddenly brought a copy of the materials to her and asked her to compile a program according to the materials, which he would use the next morning.

Bai Guo's busy work lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening.She rushed home in a hurry.When he got home, he saw Jiang Gu surfing the Internet leisurely.Jiang Gu said, "Why did you come back so late? I'm almost starving to death." Bai Guo said angrily: "Don't you know how to order some noodles yourself?" Jiang Gu fell silent. Because it was late, Ginkgo didn't want to make stir-fries, so she only ordered a bag of oily noodles.Jiang Gu can't eat spicy food, ginkgo is not very spicy at first, but later he also eats it.Jiang Gu once said jokingly: "This is called marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog." Bai Guo said, "Who said I'm going to marry you?" Jiang Gu didn't let go of the words, and said, "You said that!" Bai Guo said: "What's so rare!" Therefore, every time he cooks, Ginkgo puts some hot sauce on it, but Jiang Gu still finds it too spicy, so he has a bottle of hot sauce in front of him.Ginkgo made noodles, and the two of them ate them.Jiang Gu suddenly remembered something, and said slowly to Bai Guo, "He Ru called you just now." After hearing this, Bai Guo hurriedly said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Jiang Gu said with a smile: "I'm afraid that once you two talk on the phone, you'll talk on and on for a long time, so can I still eat?" Bai Guo scoffed at him, and was about to call He Ru when the phone rang, she picked up the phone, thinking it was He Ru.As soon as she heard a sentence, she handed the phone to Jiang Gu in dismay, and said, "It's a foreigner girl, looking for you. Really, I still called at such a late hour!" As soon as Jiang Gu heard it, he knew it must be Stacy's call.He once told Stacy that he called his cell phone when he had something to do, but she didn't expect that she knocked the phone down and came to his house at night.He glanced at Bai Guo awkwardly, said a few words into the microphone as if coping, and hung up the phone.He saw Bai Guo was staring at him with a sneer, and hurriedly said: "She is a female Postdoctoral who just came to our laboratory, and she asked me how to make Chinese noodles just now." Bai Guo rolled his eyes at him and said, "Just with your two monkey hands, how dare you coax a little girl to eat noodles?!" Jiang Gu said with a smile: "Foreigners, how can I know the essence of noodles. I will let her make it tomorrow." In fact, when Stacy called him, she didn't ask him for advice on how to make Chinese noodles at all. She was just bored in the apartment alone, drank a few more glasses of wine, and wanted to chat with him.Jiang Gu was afraid that Bai Guo would become suspicious, so he lied casually. Bai Guo didn't ask any further questions, but dialed He Rujia's phone number.He Ru said: "Why did you come back at this time tonight? Aren't you afraid that Lao Mo will abduct you?" Bai Guo explained the reason, and said with a smile: "Who wants an old lady like me? If Lao Mo wants to abduct, he will abduct a beauty like you." He Ru said: "You called at noon, is there anything you want to tell me?" Bai Guo said: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it, but I just had lunch, I have nothing to do, and I want to chat with you." He Ru smiled and said: "Don't lie in ambush with me, you must have something to tell me." Bai Guo said: "It's not a big deal. Last time, a young Postdoctoral from Jianggu Laboratory just came from China. I took him to buy a second-hand car. His name is Wu Xiaotian, do you know him? " He Ru smiled and said: "Oh, you are talking about him? He was my boyfriend when I was in college in China. When I went abroad, because he didn't want to come out, we bragged at that time. Now it's just a normal friendship. Bai Guo, did he tell Jiang Gu something about me?" Bai Guo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, don't get me wrong, I'm just asking out of curiosity." Even though she said that, she was still vaguely disappointed.She originally thought that He Ru would be shocked after hearing her words, but she didn't expect her tone to be surprisingly calm, as if she didn't know Wu Xiaotian.On the contrary, it seemed that she was meddling. Just as she was dazed, He Ru suddenly asked her, "Binguo, have you met Liu Dongqi recently?" Bai Guo said: "He? I haven't contacted him for more than a month. I don't know what he is busy with now? Have you heard from him again?" He Ru originally wanted to ask Bai Guo what was her impression of Liu Dongqi?But the words came to his lips and swallowed back.The two then chatted about their recent situation, they were both busy and boring. He Ru feels that Bai Guo's character is not as reserved as she originally imagined, but this is exactly her cuteness, and it is a joy for anyone to be friends with her.She was a little envious of her.
