I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 466 It's all like this

Old Shen can't talk too much, he needs to rest fully and wait for the operation.

Shen Qi chatted with Old Shen for a while, then left the ward and went to the downstairs of the inpatient building to breathe.

"The good news is that my dad is in good spirits, so it depends on the results of the surgery. I'll go home when my dad finishes the surgery." Shen Qi informed Ouye of the situation, and Ouye was very concerned about his father-in-law's injury.

After reporting the situation to his wife, Shen Qi looked at the WeChat work group.

In the WeChat group of the center, Miss Yu from the General Affairs Office sent a message: "Colleagues from the mathematics department, physics department, and biochemistry group are invited to come to my place to receive this month's family planning supplies."

Wen Yan: "The first half of the year is coming to an end, and the mid-year financial inventory is coming soon. Please submit all kinds of reimbursement vouchers before June 6."

Sang Tian: "The central party branch will hold a meeting of all party members on the 20th of this month to discuss matters such as Xiao Junlong, Sha Dongdong and other comrades joining the party and becoming regular members. Please give instructions to Secretary Shen, @沉奇."

Shen Qi gave instructions in the work group: "Please hold the branch party member meeting as planned. If I am not at the center on the 20th, please invite Comrade Zhou Yu'an to preside over the meeting, @桑甜@周雨安."

After handling the work of the large group, Shen Qi entered the small group.

In the FASTER project group, Tang Yuan sent several XRD and XRF pictures, and everyone discussed them enthusiastically.

"Nanocrystalline-amorphous composite systems with different structural inhomogeneities have obvious differences in response to stress field inhomogeneity."

"Is it possible to control the structural inhomogeneity characteristics of nano-amorphous materials by changing the size of the particles and the proportion and density of the interface?"

"So the next step, we use physical methods such as magnetron sputtering to achieve it?"

Condensed matter physics researchers discussed very professionally and got to the point.

Shen Qi, who has been diving for a long time, couldn't help coming out of the water, and said: "We can also consider properly the adjustment of the unevenness of chemical elements."

Mobile office is simple and efficient, but it also means that no matter when and where, there is endless work every day.

"Huh..." Shen Qi sighed, his father's surgery is coming soon, his wife is about to give birth, and the work in the unit is so busy that he hardly has any private time for himself.

"Maybe all men my age live like this." Shen Qi put away his phone, shook his head and smiled.

Smiling and laughing, Shen Qi suddenly noticed that a few meters away in front of him, a woman was standing still, seemingly staring at him.

The woman is tall, 1.7 meters five, wearing sunglasses and a mask.

She was belted so high that, at first glance, her waist was full of legs.

"Yo?" Shen Qi has keen eyesight and excellent observation skills. Although it is difficult to completely identify the facial features of the tall and slender woman, Shen Qi recognizes these long legs.

"Yo?" The tall slender woman shook her body and walked towards Shen Qi step by step, taking off her sunglasses and mask while walking.

"What a coincidence." Shen Qi stood up, she was an acquaintance, it was because she was very familiar with each other, and when they met by chance at this moment, Shen Qi didn't know whether to shake hands or hug.

"Hi, Xiaoting." Shen Qi waved his hand and greeted Chen Xiaoting, his high school classmate.

"It's really a coincidence, Shen Qi." Chen Xiaoting also waved her hand, the two of them didn't know how many years ago they said goodbye, but they met again in the hospital.

"It must have been five or six years?" Shen Qi asked.

Chen Xiaoting: "What year did you get the Fields Medal?"

"six years ago."

"That means we haven't seen each other for more than five years. The last time we met, you returned to another country a few months after you won the Philippine Award and invited me and Xu Rui to dinner in the capital. I thought you would come back when Xu Rui got married, but it turned out You didn't reply." This was a strange feeling, since I hadn't seen her for more than five years and hadn't had much contact with her, Chen Xiaoting didn't feel too strange when she saw Shen Qi at this time.

"Sit down, let's talk." Shen Qi sat back on the stone bench again, it was a bit unexpected to meet an old classmate by chance, and Shen Qi didn't feel any strangeness, maybe it was because he was too familiar with him before.

"Why did you come to the hospital?" Chen Xiaoting asked.

"My dad is in the hospital and will have an operation in a few days. I will come back to visit relatives."

"What happened to Uncle Shen?"

"I fell down and broke a bone, but it's not a big problem. What about you, what are you doing in the hospital? You're a star with sunglasses and a mask?"

"My dad is also hospitalized because of gallstones. He will have an operation to remove his gallbladder in a few days. In a place like a hospital, it's better to wear a mask. In fact, it's mainly because I have a cold and I'm afraid of infecting my dad." Chen Xiaoting looked up at the inpatient building, Said: "My dad lives on the 10th floor, which floor does your dad live on?"

"11th floor."

It's really a coincidence that the two dads live in the same hospital, upstairs and downstairs.

Shen Qi asked Chen Xiaoting: "Are you still in the media industry?"

"That's right, but I'm doing it alone, from the media." Chen Xiaoting took out her phone and showed Shen Qi some photos and videos.

"Ljubljana, the back garden of Europe, a city with a super feel."

"This is Yellowknife in Canada. It's so cold, but the aurora is so beautiful."

"This is Iwate Prefecture. I watched a very good farming movie "Little Forest" before. It was filmed in Iwate Prefecture, and then I went there and lived there for two months."

"The Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia, the mirror of the sky, really purifies the soul."

“This is a national park in Tanzania, a country that prohibits cars with automatic locks. We forgot to lock the doors manually, stopped to take pictures of the lions, and then the smart lion opened the car door from the outside... It scared me, okay Now that the lions are full, they are just teasing us."

"Christchurch, New Zealand, I planned to go to Antarctica by boat from there, but my mother called me and told me that my father was terminally ill... I cried all the way back and found out that my father just had a gallbladder removal operation ..."

Chen Xiaoting is immersed in her own experience. According to her own statement, she now makes a living by these pictures, videos and travel notes with text descriptions, and she belongs to an independent media person.

"Except for Antarctica, you have traveled to every continent on the earth. You are really free and easy Xiaoting, you have lived out your own life." Shen Qi remembers Chen Xiaoting's ambition when she was admitted to Communication University, which was to travel all over the world, Record everything you experience from the perspective of a journalist.

Chen Xiaoting did it.

Of course, this requires sufficient financial support.

The information presented by Chen Xiaoting shows that she is not a poor traveler.

"Shen Daniu, you can do the same."

"It's hard for me." Shen Qi is about to have his seniors and his juniors, so how can he walk around the world as soon as he says he wants to?

Chen Xiaoting does not understand the NS equation, nor does she know the market prospects of amorphous materials.

It is precisely because the chat with Chen Xiaoting does not involve the professional knowledge of science, so Shen Qi feels very relaxed.

The pressure in life and work is huge, and Shen Qi needs a moment of relief.

In the next few days, Shen Qi would meet Chen Xiaoting every day in the hospital.

The two of them didn't make an appointment in advance, and Shen Qi would go to the gazebo downstairs of the hospital to sit for a while around three o'clock every afternoon.

Chen Xiaoting came to the gazebo around [-]:[-], the two chatted, and then looked at their fathers.

Lao Shen's lumbar surgery was a success.

A stone in Shen Qi's heart finally fell to the ground.

Chen Xiaoting's father's gallbladder removal operation was also very successful, which is a common operation.

The two fathers of Shen and Chen are in the post-operative recovery period, and Shen Qi and Chen Xiaoting feel relaxed.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, I was hospitalized in the gazebo downstairs.

"How many days will you stay at home this time?" Chen Xiaoting asked Shen Qi.

"I'll be leaving in a few days. There are a lot of things going on in the unit." Shen Qi stood up and said, "I want to visit No. [-] Middle School. Shall we go together?"

"Let's go." Chen Xiaoting walked with Shen Qi.

After leaving the hospital and walking for a few minutes, we arrived at Nangang No. [-] Middle School, the high school alma mater of Shen Qi and Chen Xiaoting.

June is the college entrance examination season. This year's college entrance examination has just ended and is currently in the examination paper stage.

The senior three candidates have been relieved, and the second and first year students return to school to continue their classes to face the college entrance examination next year and the year after.

The fast food restaurant outside the campus is still selling fast food, but the boss has changed several times, and the fast food has changed from Chinese food to hamburger and chicken drumsticks.

At the school gate, Shen Qi looked towards the fast food restaurant and recalled the past: "That year when we were sophomores in high school, the first time you invited me to dinner was at this fast food restaurant."

Chen Xiaoting covered her mouth and smiled, "That's right, in order to save me a few bucks, you even used a bunch of mathematical theories to fool the store manager."

Shen Qi also smiled: "When I first debuted, I was not good at learning, and the theory was full of loopholes. Looking back now, I was really naive at that time."

"In a blink of an eye, we have graduated from high school for ten years." Chen Xiaoting looked at herself and Shen Qi in the glass in front of the fast food restaurant, and said, "Your WeChat Moments haven't been updated for several years, or, you put I blocked it?"

Shen Qi took out his mobile phone: "I changed my number after I came back from the United States. Do you scan me or I scan you?"

"Let me scan you, pass it." Chen Xiaoting scanned Shen Qi's account, and found: "Your new account, the last Moments of yours was posted more than a year ago, and it was forwarded..."

Shen Qi: "I just like the stream, and I rarely post it on Moments."

"Thinking about it, you need to be cautious in your position as a big boss. Do you play Weibo?" Chen Xiaoting is a bit famous in the Weibo circle. She has a column - Miss Long Legs takes you around the world.

"Yo, Xiaoting, you're still a big fan of Weibo." Shen Qi glanced at Chen Xiaoting's Weibo, and said, "I don't play Weibo, but I have a Twitter account, mainly to keep in touch with international friends. "

"I also have a twitter account, how about Friends?" Both Chen Xiaoting and Shen Qi registered their twitter accounts with foreign mobile phone numbers, and they made friends on twitter. Chen Xiaoting found that Shen Qi only had 57 friends, and these 57 All friends followed Shen Qi.

"Xiaoting, you are very international, and you have more than [-] Twitter friends."

"My friends have all kinds of people. Shen Qi, your 57 friends are all big names in the scientific world, right?"

"Not all of them. One of them was my administrative assistant when I was a professor in Princeton. So International Ting, after your dad's surgery is over, you will still go to Antarctica one day?"

"Yes, it's my lifelong wish to go to Europe to see cities, Africa to see grasslands, North America to see the aurora, and Antarctic to see polar bears. It's my lifelong wish, and now I'm short of the last one." Chen Xiaoting never forgets her trip to Antarctica.

Chen Xiaoting was very serious, and Shen Qi smiled naturally: "It's great to go to Antarctica to see polar bears. If you have a chance, you can go to Mars to see humans."
