"Oh, that's it" Wan Qing put the lunch box in her hand on the coffee table, and fixedly stared at Huai Ru's face: "In our line of work, it's normal for articles to be rejected. Look at peterj.ratcliffe. Was it also rejected by "Nature"? At that time, the rejection letter stated that "the discovery of the basic response mechanism of cellular hypoxia is not enough to be published in "Nature". But in fact, twenty-seven years later, he was With this research, he won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. So Huairu, don¡¯t be discouraged, this doesn¡¯t mean anything.¡±
"Wan Qing" Huai Ru patted the back of Wan Qing's hand slightly, and said in a low voice, "You always comfort me like this, thank you."
Wan Qing leaned forward a little, and in a sudden panic, she tapped her lips lightly on Huai Ru's forehead: "What an idiot, do you still want to say 'thank you' to me?"
Huai Ru raised his head and met Wan Qing's eyes, the two looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the tree trunks on the campus are too hot to lift their heads. The green lawn has already turned yellow due to the long drought, and passers-by take a rest under the shadow of the trees from time to time.
Huairu came out of the laboratory, looked up at the sky, there was no sign of rain, it really needs a timely rain here.
While thinking, the phone suddenly vibrated. At this moment, he saw that it was his old friend Fan Jun who sent a video request. Thinking of the previous email exchanges, Huai Ru seems to be a little hesitant about this video.
Not long after, he still walked to a secluded corner.
"Huairu, long time no see, how are you doing?" Fan Jun's opening remarks were still simple greetings.
Huairu smiled politely: "It's all okay, it's just that I've been busy recently."
"Hey, in this way, we are all old classmates, so I will ask directly. How do you think about the things mentioned in the email before?" Fan Jun paused and asked.
Huairu hesitantly avoided the camera lens of the mobile phone, facing a gust of dry hot wind, which made him a little at a loss.
Fan Jun was originally an alumnus of Huai Ru and Wan Qing when they were in Shanghai. Later, Huai Ru and Wan Qing both went abroad to study for a Ph. D., while Fan Jun stayed at Shencheng University to continue his Ph. D.
After graduating, Fan Jun successfully stayed at the school to work. Huairu looked at the resume posted on the Internet, showing that Fan Jun's career path has been quite smooth in recent years, and now he is the second in command of the School of Life Sciences of Shencheng University.
As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Fan Jun naturally didn't come to chat with Huairu for no reason. Shencheng University is supported by many national fund projects, and the cooperation with Shencheng Research Institute is the most important thing. Now that it is time to hire people, the first thing Fan Jun thinks of is naturally his old classmate Shi Huairu.
He tried his best to invite Huairu to go back to China to have a look, and talk about returnees by the way. Although Fan Jun is very sincere, Huai Ru also has his own concerns.
In the past four years of hard work as a Ph.D. student, plus one year of postdoctoral experience, and three years as an assistant professor, it took him more than eight years to finally get a tenured professorship at the University of Berkeley. Anyone who is knowledgeable in the circle knows that it is not easy to win a tenured professorship in the United States, especially in a prestigious school.
Huai Ru and Wan Qing have already bought a house in California. Although scientific research is still tiring and even not smooth, their lives are still stable. He has struggled abroad for more than ten years, and now he suddenly mentioned the matter of returning to China for no reason, which inevitably made him feel sad.
