On Monday, Qi Min did not rush to the laboratory, but took Anton and Mimi around her school.

It was already the end of the semester, and the weather was very cold. No one came out on the roads on campus unless they were having a meal.

Mimi picked up a handful of golden ginkgo leaves on the road. At this moment, Qi Min seemed to suddenly realize that autumn was about to pass, and she didn't even pay much attention to the autumn scenery.

"Your current school... the campus seems not to be as big as before." Anton commented.

"Of course." Qi Min couldn't help but sigh, "What level of school did I study in for my Ph.D.? What level of school is this? They can't be compared."

But just when she thought Anton would use this to mock her for being able to go to a second-rate school after all the hard work, he just said: "But there are many kinds of trees in this school."

At this time, Qi Min was suddenly moved. In fact, Anton never really got used to her thinking about the project all day long and neglecting things at home. He knew how important the project and career were to her.

Perhaps it is precisely because his career as a chef has been aborted that he can better relate to the pressure Qi Min once faced to graduate and find a teaching position.

Qi Min suddenly felt that she might also think about Anton. Mimi is old enough to go to kindergarten. Even if she has some problems with her legs and feet, the kindergarten affiliated with the University of Science and Technology of China will probably accept her. If Mimi went to kindergarten, it would be meaningless for Anton to stay at home and look after the house.

"By the way, if Mimi goes to kindergarten, do you want to find a job?" Qi Min asked Anton.

"Can you help me find a job?" Anton was a little surprised, "Is it okay even if I don't know many Chinese characters?"

"It depends on what kind of job it is." Qi Min said.

"Then I must become a chef." Anton never had a second answer to this question.

But Qi Min hesitated. She had also considered before that a serious hotel required a chef certificate to recruit chefs, but Anton couldn't pass the exam for the time being. He had to first learn Chinese characters systematically and then complete the corresponding cooking classes.

"The one in the big hotel is a bit expensive." Qi Min said tactfully, "What do you think of the one in the small restaurant?"

"Are you talking about the kind of home-cooked restaurant?" Anton said, "That kind of food is a bit too unchallenging."

Qi Minxin said that she was referring to the fly restaurant on the roadside. Nowadays, home-cooked restaurants probably need chef certificates to recruit chefs. There is no way, this is a society with information explosion and single measurement. Restaurant owners have no time to taste the dishes cooked by applicants one by one.

"If you can accept a small job, I think you can try a slightly larger hotel." Qi Min said reluctantly.

"That's such a waste of time." Anton couldn't help but say, "I have been working in the kitchen since I was ten years old. I started as a small boy at that time."

Anton is actually very talented in cooking. It is said that the previous owner of the Chinese restaurant was also the head chef. He once said that Anton would officially work in the Chinese restaurant as his deputy after graduating from high school. This means that when the boss retires, he can become the next head chef.

Although being twenty-five years old is definitely too young to be a chef, Qi Min would feel a bit at a loss if he had to start from a small job.

"You don't want to be a laborer, nor do you want to go to a small restaurant..." Qi Min muttered and joked, "Let's put it this way, if I can arrange for you to be a chef in a big hotel, it will have to be like this: I One day you make a lot of money and open a company. The company needs to be big enough. In addition to the canteen, it also needs to have a high-end restaurant specially designed to entertain guests, and then you can be the head chef."

"If you have money, why can't you just open a restaurant?" Anton asked.

"Because I don't know how to open a restaurant, I will definitely lose money if I open a restaurant." Qi Min replied sincerely.

Anton sighed, but he didn't feel any regrets: "Okay, you mean it's impossible for me to be the chef."

"It's not impossible." Qi Min said comfortingly, "I mean, I can try to let you work in our school cafeteria."

Qi Min originally thought so too. Although she is just an ordinary PI, it is still very feasible to find someone to arrange this kind of work.

Anton also thinks this idea is okay, and cooking for the students is a relatively meaningful job for him, a caring person. However, he has professional requirements: "I have to go and see the level of your canteen first."

Just when it was time to have lunch, Qi Min led Anton and Mimi to the cafeteria.

When he saw the braised eggplants that were mashed into a ball in the stainless steel rice bowl in the cafeteria and the kung pao chicken with countless cucumbers and carrots, Anton decisively refused: "Let's forget about work."

Just because the school cafeteria insults Chinese food with such weird stuff doesn’t mean that a motivated chef has to humiliate himself by making such weird stuff.

——

The matter of finding a job for Anton was dropped. After reluctantly finishing lunch in the cafeteria, Qi Min went back to the laboratory and asked Anton to take Mimi to play on the campus lawn for a while.

As soon as she entered the laboratory door, she heard Ke Li ask her: "Qi Min, have you finished the fluorescent labeling dye?"

"Not yet." Qi Min remembered that she forgot to tell Ke Yue about peptide quantum dots. "I asked someone from the chemistry department and they said that peptide quantum dots can be used. It is not convenient for us to synthesize peptide quantum dots ourselves. Someone should deliver it tomorrow."

"Then can it be used directly as a replacement for fluorescent dyes?" Ke Yue asked.

Qi Min felt that with Zhang Zhiyong’s position, he probably wouldn’t teach experiments in person, and would ask doctoral students in his laboratory to send samples, so he said: “Tomorrow there will be doctoral students from the chemistry department to teach us how to do it. Today we will Don’t touch the rats yet.”

However, Ke Yue still has some concerns about chemical things, especially the mysterious physics concept of "quantum": "How is the toxicity of that peptide quantum dot?"

"It is said that they are not toxic, and peptides without functions will be decomposed when they enter cells." Qi Min said, "I have a REVIEW, do you want to read it?"

"Okay." Ke Li agreed immediately. He is very responsible for the experiments he is doing, and will not listen to what others say and just follow them without thinking.

Qi Min sent him the REVIEW from WeChat. After receiving it, Ke Yue said: "Then I'll go back and take a look first..."

He walked to his seat. Qi Min looked around and found that Wang Xin and Chen Linyou were not there either. He asked casually: "Where are Wang Xin and Lin You?"

"It's time to go eat." Ke Yue said, "I'll be back in a while."

"If they are okay, I will leave first." Qi Min said to Ke Li, "I have to trouble you to watch them for another day."

Ke Yue sat in front of his computer, opened the REVIEW article about quantum dots, and responded to Qi Min nonchalantly: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong in the lab. And I'm used to being on duty."
