"On April 11th, the American Chemical Society announced this year's Roger Adams Chemistry Award at the International Organic Chemistry Conference in San Francisco.
"The award is in memory of the famous chemist Roger Adams. Since 1995, the American Chemical Society has been awarding the award every two years to scholars who have made outstanding contributions to the field of organic chemistry. Among the 29 winners, 11 of them have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. "
"The winner of this year's Adams Chemistry Award is Professor Lu Zhou from Princeton University. The reason for the award is that he used a modified PDMS film material in the research of lithium batteries, which solved a technical problem that puzzled the academic and industrial circles for 30 years … "
Jin Ling University cafeteria. The TV hanging from the ceiling of the cafeteria was playing the news broadcast.
Han Mengqi's chopsticks were suspended in the air as she stared at the TV screen. She stared at Lu Zhou, who was receiving the gold medal from an old man with a white beard. She forgot to eat.
Her three roommates, who were sitting next to her, also noticed the news. Although their reactions weren't as exaggerated as Han Mengqi's, they still began to chatter.
Li Fang looked at the TV and said, "Amazing … It's so stressful to have such a nutty alumnus."
Romon asked, "Speaking of which, he's the director of the Institute of Computational Materials, right?"
Su Jiawen: "That's him. I've heard about him from my classmates. Every time he comes back, even the academicians treat him with respect. Oh yeah, Mengqi is interning at the Institute of Computational Materials, right? "
Li Fang looked at Han Mengqi and excitedly asked, "Mengqi, have you seen Lu Zhou in person?"
Two months ago, the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials recruited interns. The students signed up voluntarily and were selected based on their GPA ranking.
There weren't many opportunities for undergraduates to come into contact with scientific research. Therefore, for students planning to do postgraduate studies, this kind of opportunity was especially popular.
There were only three first-year interns. Han Mengqi was lucky. Her GPA ranking was in the top three in her year, so she was selected.
When Han Mengqi heard her roommate's voice, she snapped back to reality and nodded.
"Ah … I have."
Even though it wasn't at the Institute of Computational Materials …
Li Fang continued to ask curiously, "Then tell me quickly, is the real person the same as on TV?"
After thinking for a moment, Han Mengqi answered the question seriously, "Almost … Probably, slightly more handsome than on TV."
"Speaking of which, isn't he in mathematics?" Romon, who was sitting next to him and eating, sighed. "Since when did you start competing with us chemists?"
Li Fang agreed with him and sighed, "Yeah … We don't understand the world of a genius. Perhaps, this is the legendary genius. "
Su Jiawen smiled and teased, "For a genius like God Lu, only our beautiful and talented Qiqi is worthy of him."
It was originally an unintentional tease. Even Su Jiawen himself did not expect that someone would take it seriously.
Han Mengqi, who was sitting next to him, blushed.
"What are you talking about …"
However, halfway through her sentence, her voice suddenly weakened.
That was because she suddenly noticed that her three best friends were staring at her straight in the eyes.
Han Mengqi nervously asked, "You guys … What's wrong?"
Su Jiawen rubbed her chin and said in a serious manner, "I don't know if you guys noticed, but this is the first time I've seen our genius Han so obsessed with a guy."
Romon nodded in agreement and made a bold assumption in an uncertain tone. "Could it be …"
Li Fang carefully said, "Could it be that you …"
Han Mengqi panicked as her three roommates pressed on with questions.
"No, it's not what you guys think …"
"Actually, it's nothing. He's just an idol. What's there to hide? At most, he's a little unpopular." Li Fang laughed and looked at Han Mengqi encouragingly. "When a loser sees eye to eye with a loser, there will naturally be a stronger loser who deserves to be worshipped by a straight-A student.
Han Mengqi paused for a second and smiled awkwardly.
"… Thank you."
She sighed in relief, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Idol …?
It seems like in other people's eyes, Lu Zhou has reached an unattainable level.
However, she didn't have that kind of unrealistic thought …
Li Fang poked Han Mengqi's arm and asked curiously, "What do you like about God Lu?"
Li Fang wasn't the only one curious, Romon and Su Jiawen were also curious.
"Don't misunderstand, it's not that kind of like …" Han Mengqi retorted with a red face. She then continued with some difficulty, "If I have to describe it, it's like he's a big brother."
Romon nodded thoughtfully and said, "Brother? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with his age. "
"Mengqi is an only child, right? When you really have a brother, you'll know how annoying he is. "Su Jiawen ridiculed his annoying brother and had a disgusted expression on his face.
Han Mengqi smiled a little lonelily. "I don't think so. I don't think I'd hate it if there were …"
Even if she stayed at home, she didn't feel like home. Would she feel better if she had a brother?
Although this was an unrealistic request, ever since she met Xiao Tong in Philadelphia, she thought about it more than once. It would be great if her life could be swapped with Xiao Tong's.
In fact, deep down in her heart, she hoped that Lu Zhou could be with her sister. She had tried to match the two more than once.
Because in this way, she could be like Xiaotong and call him "Big Brother" without any qualms …
Girls' topics always changed quickly. Soon, they changed from God Lu on CTV to Su Jiawen's brother.
Normally, Han Mengqi would join in the conversation.
But now, the little girl was stuck in a dilemma.
Just now, Li Fang's words reminded her of something.
Thinking about it carefully, being an idol doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
Because he's an idol, no matter what he says, no one will take it seriously.
Even if she secretly calls him that …
"Brother, brother …"
Han Mengqi buried her head and clenched her teeth. However, after trying several times, she could not be as "frank" as Li Fang was with her idol. She could not squeeze out the two shameful words from her lips as though there was no one else around …
In the end, she completely gave up. While her three roommates looked at her, she gave up and slammed her forehead on the table.
As expected, this is too difficult for me …
…
After eating, Han Mengqi sent the plates to the dining car. She then parted ways with her three roommates and walked toward the Institute of Computational Materials.
So far, though, she had only been engaged in trivial tasks such as organizing documents. Even so, she learned a lot of useful things from this job.
In order to be of use one day, Han Mengqi worked very hard every day.
Just as she was halfway there, someone suddenly called out to her from behind.
"Student, how do I get to the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials?"
Han Mengqi stopped walking and turned around. She frowned and looked at this person with a puzzled expression.
This person wasn't tall or short. He was wearing a plaid shirt and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. There was nothing special about his appearance; he looked like a typical engineering student. Even though he didn't look like a bad person, his expression was a bit sneaky.
"You're from another school?"
There are people at Jin Ling University who don't know where the Institute of Computational Materials is?
When the chemistry department lent the entire building to God Lu, it became the talk of the school.
Being looked at with suspicion, the man panicked for a moment, but he quickly hid it with an awkward smile and quickly explained, "It's like this, I'm here … to look for Dr. Yang. I have something I want to visit him about. Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you! "
Lu Zhou had to admit that his acting skills were terrible.
Not only did Han Mengqi not feel better, but she was even more suspicious.
Who cares what you're here for, why are you trying to explain yourself …
Han Mengqi complained in her mind as she raised her index finger and pointed in a general direction.
"Follow this path and you'll find it …"
Although they happened to be going the same way and it was not impossible to bring him along, this person looked too suspicious. She did not really want to walk with him.
After asking for directions, the man thanked him profusely and hurriedly left without any hesitation.
Han Mengqi looked at the person walking away and frowned.
She didn't know if it was an illusion.
Why do I feel like …
