International students returning to 90

Washington, District of Columbia, is the political center of the United States.

Different from the bustling and undisciplined San Francisco, the people here seem to be born with a serious taste. For example, the person coming to meet him is wearing a brown and black suit, his brown hair is combed back meticulously, and his mustache is slapped. Neatly arranged symmetrically.

Zhuang Cheng and Lin Yi separated in a hurry after getting off the plane. Zhuang Cheng was in a hurry, and after Lin Yi agreed with him on the meeting place, he took a taxi to the hotel alone.

The hotel was booked by the White House. It may sound unbelievable, but it really happened.

"Mr. Lin, hello." A voice rang in Lin Yi's ear.

Lin Yi raised his head and raised his eyebrows slightly. It turned out to be the serious-looking moustache.

"Hello, you...know me?" Lin Yi is very confident in his memory, he must have never seen this person before him.

"Of course, your talent is admirable. I am Huck Bolton, a U.S. congressman and a native of San Francisco." Bolton stretched out his hand with a smile.

Huck Bolton?Lin Yi had heard of this name, and it was through him that Simpson submitted the solar cell project to Washington.

"Hi, Mr. Bulton." Lin Yi had a polite smile on his face.

Bourton stroked his mustache, and the smile on his face grew wider, "Although it's a bit abrupt, I think maybe we can talk about the solar cell project."

"I didn't expect Mr. Bourton to be interested in scientific research. The solar cell project is mainly about material chemistry, which may be a bit boring."

"Mr. Lin, I think you know what I mean. I have already contacted Simpson, and he does not object to working with Exxon."

Exxon?Lin Yi's pupils shrank suddenly. The world's largest non-government oil and gas producer did not expect that the cake of solar energy would be attracted by this giant.

Yes, Bourton, although this surname has always been covered in the shadow of the Rockefeller surname, it is undeniable that he is still one of the most powerful families in the United States.

The harmless sheep-like smile on Lin Yi's face faded, and he squinted his eyes, "Cooperation? I think it is our honor to cooperate with Exxon, but how to cooperate, I think about it in two days. would be better."

Huck Bolton looked at the Asian scientific researcher in a little surprise, and he swore that he was absolutely right. At that moment, this man's temperament changed drastically, from a harmless scientific researcher to human beings and animals. Person becomes his kind.

Bourton was silent for two seconds, "Of course, if this is your wish, we are willing to wait." If it was another company, they might ask to confirm the cooperation intention as soon as possible because they are afraid that competitors will take advantage of it, but they are Egypt Kesen, they are never afraid of a challenge.

"Thank you for your understanding." Lin Yi thanked politely.

After returning to the room, Lin Yi hugged his head and lay down on the bed with a whimper. He never thought that he would call this behemoth over.

The name Exxon may not be familiar to future generations, but what about ExxonMobil?

In 1999, Mobil Petroleum and Exxon Petroleum merged to form Exxon Mobil Corporation, which is also the largest oil company in the world.

He remembered that ExxonMobil's involvement in the solar power generation industry in his previous life was at the beginning of the 21st century. Was it because of his appearance that this behemoth became interested in this industry earlier by accident?

Lin Yi rubbed his temples, everything has two sides, this is not entirely a bad thing.Backed by a big tree, he can enjoy the shade. If he can maintain a good cooperative relationship with the future ExxonMobil, there will be a lot of public and private benefits, but he has to think carefully about the specific cooperation method.

It was past three o'clock in the afternoon when Zhuang Cheng arrived at the hotel. He wanted to get the documents and go back immediately, but unfortunately...he lost his passport.

"Maybe I left it in a taxi." Professor Zhuang pursed his lips tightly. Unlike his usual stable image, he has always had the habit of forgetting things in private, but this habit is well hidden by him. Few people can be found.

"Zhuang Cheng, Professor Zhuang, I like you more and more!" Lin Yi stood up from the sofa.

"It's 03:30 now, and there's still a little time before the embassy gets off work. We're taking a taxi and there's still time."

As the political center of the United States, Washington DC is where the embassies of various countries, including Hua Guo, are located.

Zhuang Cheng's face blushed a little, "I can go by myself."

Lin Yi blinked his not-so-big eyes, "My professor, I'm afraid you might lose yourself, so let the little one accompany you, okay?"

The Chinese embassy is located in the Northwest District of Washington, covering a large area. However, Lin Yi and the others may have come at a somewhat unlucky time. A row of people stood neatly at the gate of the embassy, ​​as if they were welcoming someone.

Lin Yi and Zhuang Cheng glanced at each other, then found a staff member nearby and asked, "Is the consular department working normally? We need to apply for a new passport."

Hearing the familiar local accent, the staff showed a gentle smile, "Are you from Nanjiang Province? The consular department is working normally, and that's to welcome the vice premier. You are lucky, maybe you can meet the chief later."

Yo, luck is really good, with such a small probability, they actually met them.

"Thank you." After thanking the staff, the two followed the signs to the consular department.

"name?"

"Zhuangcheng."

"Can you recite the ID number?"

"110XXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

"When did you come to the United States? Which consulate did you register at?"

Zhuang Cheng answered them one by one.

There was no big data in the 90s, so reissuing a passport is naturally much more complicated than later generations. Zhuang Cheng does not work in Washington, so the Washington Consulate needs to contact the San Francisco Consulate to confirm Zhuang Cheng’s identity, and then reissue his passport.

"Fill out this form and you will be notified when the new passport is ready."

"how long will it takes?"

The staff looked up at Zhuang Cheng, "Three months if it is fast, half a year if it is slow, I will give you a certificate of opening after the San Francisco consulate responds. During this period, you can use this certificate."

Zhuang Cheng smiled wryly, "It seems that this is the only way to go. When will the certificate be available? I have urgent matters and need to go back to San Francisco as soon as possible."

For compatriots in foreign countries, the attitude of the staff is still very good, "It depends on the response speed in San Francisco. Generally speaking, three to five days is enough."

Three or five days later, Zhuang Cheng frowned tightly. He couldn't wait for three or five days. The quantum project had come to an end. Only this key information was needed, and they could fully explain the quantum structure of the weak electric interaction. Stanford and Both parties in Berkeley have very high expectations for this project, and their goal is to win the Nobel Prize next year!

"In three or five days, I'll just go back with me. But, will you have time?" Lin Yi absolutely refused to admit it. He was actually quite happy when he heard the news in three or five days.

"No, the project can't wait for so long. I'll let Jessica come over later and take the materials back." Zhuang Cheng sighed helplessly.

Jessica, the beautiful hot mom, appeared in Lin Yi's mind. Although he did not discriminate against women in the laboratory, he really felt that if Zhuang Cheng was surrounded by a male assistant, he might be happier.

"Except for going to the White House tomorrow afternoon, I'm free for the rest of the time. We can rent a car to go around..." Lin Yi said with a smile, a lonely man, a godsend~

Lin Yi's voice is not heavy, but the room of the consular department is quiet, the White House?

All the staff couldn't help raising their heads.

"White House? I'm still in Zhongnanhai..." It was a young man who had just walked in who was speaking. He rushed in angrily, and when he heard Lin Yi's words, he snorted coldly and said.

Lin Yi touched his nose. He was a little excited just now and forgot the occasion. Besides Zhuangcheng, there are many outsiders here.

Zhuang Cheng frowned slightly, he didn't like the young man talking to Lin Yi in this tone.

"I heard that you have received an invitation from Mr. Clinton." At that time, when Simpson announced in public, many people were there, like Matthew and Andrew. Unless they were specially told to keep it secret, otherwise the entire Berkeley We all know.

"Can you show some face! If you want to act outside, we don't have time here to watch you sing oboe!" The young man's voice became louder, and the White House still treated Clinton as if they were idiots who had never seen the world!

Lin Yi didn't care much about the jumping of the ants, but Zhuang Cheng's brows became more and more frowned.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, the replacement procedures are complete, let's go back and wait for news."

Neither Zhuang Cheng nor Lin Yi likes to fight with others, Zhuang Cheng nodded, and the two were about to walk out the door.

When passing by the young man, I only heard the young man continue to say: "Hua Guo has people like you who talk big all the time, so that others will look down upon you!" The disdain and anger in the words can almost overflow Come.

Lin Yi's footsteps stagnated slightly, he turned around and said with a cold face: "Excuse me, is this young man an official employee of the consulate?"

When the staff heard the words, they knew they were angry.

Can you not be angry, pointing at others' noses and cursing.Although they also felt that the words of Lin Yi and Zhuang Cheng were too unreliable, it was indeed the young people who spoke harsh words first.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Huang is young and ignorant, so he must have encountered something unpleasant."

"Yes, yes, young man. We will press on about the passport, so don't worry about it with him."

Lin Yi sneered, "Young man? I don't think this person is younger than me. As a national official, your quality makes people look down on Hua people."

"My quality?" The young man exploded at once, "What kind of quality am I, am I wrong? What about the White House and Clinton! Who do you think you are? You put such words outside, It's not you who are being laughed at by others, but our country of Hua!"

The young man's voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly throughout the corridor.

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps at the door, and then a steady voice reached everyone's ears, "What are you talking about? I seem to have heard the name of the White House and Mr. Clinton."
