Chapter 342: Not everyone can laugh to the end

While ExxonMobil was celebrating "victory", a celebration party was also taking place in the Hilton Hotel not far away.
To celebrate another great victory for Anton in the field of computational chemistry, and to celebrate the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure was finally completed, David rented a luxurious banquet room at the Hilton Hotel at his own expense and hosted the party.
I spent a month in the busy period, working overtime every day until late at night, everyone seemed like a tight string.
For people in this country, parties are the best way to relax.
What surprised Lu Zhou was that these usually undressed phds, after taking off their white gowns and plaid shirts, and replaced them with the most expensive tuxedo in the closet, there were still radically different images from the stereotyped image of "technical men". the other side.
However, what surprised him most were the ladies who attended the banquet.
Are there too many female researchers at the d.e.shaw institute?
He has been a visiting scholar at Columbia University for more than a month. During this period, he basically reports to the institute every day. However, the female faces he has seen can be counted with one hand.
Especially those young and beautiful faces, how they look are not very consistent with the image of the female doctor ...
The banquet time has not yet arrived, but the guests have arrived early.
Standing in front of the ballroom in the ballroom, David, dressed in formal clothes, poured a glass of champagne into his glass, and then raised it with a smile.
"At this moment worth celebrating, let's toast for victory, toast for our anton, and toast for our professor Lu!"
The three cheers tossed loudly and excitedly, immediately pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to a peak.
Driven by the atmosphere, the guests at the banquet also laughed and raised their wine glasses.
"Cheers!"
The staggering sounds were heard, and the champagne and foam were flying in the air.
The banquet kicked off with laughter.
The waiters in uniform came into the banquet hall with plates and carts, and the food piled up on the long tables on both sides of the dance floor gradually enriched.
Then the melodious saxophone sounded. Under the guidance of music, young men and women stepped onto the dance floor.
Before being full, most people are more willing to dance with the person they like before planning the next part ...
However, Lu Zhou is clearly a minority.
The food at the banquet is more interesting to him than dancing.
Especially after bacon sandwiches that have been simmered for almost a month, those brightly colored salads, cakes decorated with cream, baked turkey tender and crispy, and foie gras baked with sweet wine ... Which one, in Lu Zhou's eyes, is extraordinarily attractive.
Just as he was adding food to his plate, David, the host of the banquet, came towards him with champagne.
"How do you feel?" Raising champagne and touching a glass of land, David said with a smile. "At least half of this banquet is for you."
Lu Zhou also smiled, and replied casually: "Very New York style."
"Compared to Princeton?"
"Princeton parties are usually barbecued on the lawn, which is another enjoyment for me," Lu paused and said in a relaxed tone. "Speaking, I haven't noticed before, your research There are so many female doctors in the office. "
"Of course not only my researchers, but also the girls of the Columbia Sisters of Columbia University," David said in a joke, looking at Lu Zhou. "You know, 90% of my institutes are science and engineering Male, it ’s easy to get problems for a long time. It ’s one of the responsibilities of being a
boss
to provide them with a social place to relax.
"Social networking?" Lu Zhou tried to understand in his own way.
David smiled and said, "Haha, let's do it."
On campuses in the United States, various clubs, fraternities, or sisters' associations are a relatively common phenomenon, with more than half of the students participating, and their nature is probably similar to the various societies of domestic universities.
Some of them are sports clubs that take the form of extracurricular activities such as basketball, football, and dance. There are also social clubs that have no special purpose and only provide young people with a "circle that can integrate themselves into it."
However, no matter what type of club, there is a core commonality.
That's the endless party.
In a sense, the Ivy Club (food club) that Lu Zhou once participated in is also an elite club. It's just that he usually regards it as a cafeteria for eating, and rarely participates in the club's group activities.
As for how David's research is related to the Manhattan Sisters?
Sometimes, no special connection is needed.
This is the Hilton Hotel on Manhattan Island. Although many people can live here, there are very few clubs that can host parties here.
Even if the Deshaw Institute is replaced by an unknown football club in Columbia, and a "celebratory research achievement" is replaced by "School League New York runner-up", as long as the party location is here, there will be a big The pretty young girl is willing to put on a gown here.
Anyway, whether it is "jacs" or "rugby", it is a thing of another world for them. They enjoy the force of the banquet and the fun of posting photos on Facebook.
"Speaking of you, you're still single, although it doesn't matter if you're not single," shakes the wine glass in his hand, David joked. "You don't have to hold back here, if you fancy someone, you can boldly invite her to jump dance."
Lu Zhou said helplessly: "I'm sorry I can't dance."
"It doesn't matter, even if you jump badly, I believe that there are a lot of people who can bear it," smirked and touched a cup with Lu Zhou, David frowned. "And I bet, as long as you have this idea, you should Many girls are willing to teach you. "
Is this a boast of my handsomeness?
Lu Zhou smiled a little slyly.
How embarrassing.
Although he thinks so.
Didn't notice what Lu Zhou was thinking. David opened a new champagne and filled his glass again. "What's your plan for the next step? Or just forget to be a professor at Columbia University, I can do it for you Persuaded the principal to open an additional department of computing materials at Columbia University ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Looking at the lights on Manhattan Island outside the window, Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile: "Columbia University is a beautiful place, as is Manhattan Island. But in comparison, I think Princeton is more suitable for me. "
"Really? Well, individuals have their own choices." David sighed, but didn't persuade much.
After pouring the rest of the wine in the bottle into Lu Zhou's glass, he continued, "If you have time, remember to come here often."
"No problem, it's very close anyway," Lu Zhou continued to think of something, "Yes, there is one more thing before I return to Princeton, I have to ask you for it."
David: "What's up?"
"The theoretical building of the electrochemical interface structure has been completed, but the young theory is always ignored. In order to enhance its credibility, I intend to use our theoretical tools to try to solve some more specific questions about this. "I need the power of anton," paused, Lu Zhou continued, "I won't borrow it too long, it will be fine before I return to Princeton."
His visit at Columbia University will last until June, which means that it will be about a month.
However, this experiment does not take as long as a month. If the situation is optimistic, it may be enough for half a month.
In addition, compared to the previous subject, although this subject that he is about to conduct is also a theoretical research, it will guide the experiments of Jinling Institute of Computing Materials.
Therefore, whether or not David cares, he insists on paying rent for equipment and employees.
David asked with interest: "What is the more specific question?"
Lu Zhou smiled mysteriously.
"Molecular dynamics simulation of the interface between carbon-sulfur composites and organic electrolytic solutions!"
