"I already have a girlfriend -"
Zheng Jianguo resisted the impulse to rush up from the bottom of his heart. He didn't expect that this seemingly petite and lovely sister would be a demon. He felt that it was too hard to be a man, especially to be a good man. He had to withstand this test: "we two --"
"I know what you worry about. There is no such virus in my blood. Although I don't know why you care about that virus, I took my own blood for examination when I helped Bertha yesterday. Now you can rest assured?"
Esther's small mouth said, a pair of bright eyes seemed to drill into Zheng Jianguo's eyes and looked at him. Sure enough, she found that after she said that there was no such virus, she keenly caught the looseness on his face, immediately nodded and said, "yes, you were relieved when you heard me do this?"
"It's not a sigh of relief. You didn't imagine that the virus was latent for three years after entering the human body. Didn't you feel curious about this?"
Zheng Jianguo shook his head and said that when he began to think about how to fool the past, Esther nodded directly and said, "I just felt curious, so I went to find Jacqueline under your banner, and then I knew that you even spent $40000 to make her match your research -"
"You went to her?"
Instantly, Zheng Jianguo frowned and stared at Esther up and down. Unexpectedly, as his harassing eyes fell on him, Esther flashed playfully holding a lollipop on his face and said in a charming low voice: "do you know what's between me and my white coat?"
"Huh?"
As Esther's subtle and inaudible voice mixed with fragrance came, Zheng Jianguo's eyes instantly fell from her small face. After sweeping her loose white coat, he felt that this statement was somewhat familiar. When he heard her whisper: "no, nothing!"
The next moment, Zheng Jianguo flashed the ambiguous jeans advertisement of Camille Xiaosi in his mind, and immediately opened his eyes and swallowed his saliva: "you --"
"Hehe, you know?"
Holding the lollipop and continuing to eat, the charm on Esther's face became more and more rich, as if the whole face was exuding spring love that can't be looked at directly: "I thought you had a relationship with Jacqueline, but she repeatedly assured me that she didn't, and said she didn't want to bring you trouble -"
"Did you go under the banner of my girlfriend?"
Keen to catch the obstacles in each other's words, Zheng Jianguo suddenly understood why Jacqueline would tell Esther the truth.
Sure enough, as Zheng Jianguo's voice came out, Esther nodded, and the charm behind him disappeared. When she got up, she returned to her former appearance. However, when she thought of what she said earlier, Zheng Jianguo felt that the flame at the bottom of her heart ran high again——
"I want to be your girlfriend or bed friend?"
Esther blinked his big round eyes and said that Zheng Jianguo was a little dull in an instant, but soon he understood that this routine was familiar: "what do you want from me?"
"I don't want money. I want results. At least one paper on science or nature is tied for the first author. I can be your girlfriend for five years -"
Esther tilted his head and said that Zheng Jianguo felt that the price of this was too high. However, the next moment he raised his eyebrows: "how do you know I can take you to science or nature?"
"Because so far, you have been to science once, the lancet three times, and new england medicine once. The point is that you are only 18 -"
Without stopping to mention the authoritative journals that Zheng Jianguo has published, Esther shrugged and looked forward to: "it seems that the journals that ordinary doctors can't publish all their life's research are inherently relaxed for you."
“——”
Zheng Jianguo was silent and moved. He had arranged the division of labor and cooperation between Esther and Catherine in order to take this opportunity to cultivate his network. After all, no one may listen to a Nobel laureate, but the three Nobel laureates all said so, so we should think about it in front of who?
"I'm older than you, but I haven't made a boyfriend. I used to be so busy studying that I didn't even have time to clean up myself.
Your silence is exciting now. I can promise not to have a boyfriend within five years - and I will do a good job of protection. "
The charm on Esther's face disappeared. Unlike Jacqueline, she still had a chance to earn money in the future. However, the 18-year-old candidate Nobel Prize winner in front of her was the only one since the beginning of the world.
As long as there is a paper published in science or nature, Esther has his own territory in the medical field. When he has his own territory, the money and resources will roll in. At least the top hospitals can pick it at will.
"Well, you answer me a question first. How do you know that Jacqueline and I are not normal?"
Zheng Jianguo couldn't resist the flames stirred up by Mary, Evelyn and Esther's relay. When he said it, he put his hand forward. He didn't expect Esther's face to change. He stepped back two steps and said, "there's a camera on the top of the corridor behind me. If you touch me, I'll be photographed. It's not good for you -"
"Oh, I want to get back the lollipop in your mouth -"
Looking up at the monitoring of the corridor behind her, Zheng Jianguo was moved. Can you think about it for yourself at this time?
So the flames that had not been suppressed in the bottom of his heart decreased at this time. Just when Zheng Jianguo looked at each other's cheeks and wanted to change his mouth, he didn't expect Esther to take the first two steps, take out a lollipop from his mouth, slowly put it into his mouth and said, "they are privately saying that you will win the Nobel Prize sooner or later, and you have such high achievements when you are so young, The laboratory will certainly become famous in the future. It's a waste for your girlfriend to leave you as a teacher.
I know she can't compare with Catherine in terms of appearance, but she has a cold personality. Her biggest hobby is doing analysis in the laboratory, so director Amy let her come, but I will treat you well. Just give me this opportunity -- "
"You --"
Feeling the much smaller lollipop in his mouth, Zheng Jianguo suddenly increased the reduced flame in his heart, so he changed his mind: "what I want to say is that you look up to me too much. I can only say that you do your best. Who knows if there will be surprises in the research -"
"Your surprise is already there. When I heard director Amy call someone, I said that this year, the American Chapter of the society of Gastroenterology will nominate you as the candidate for the Lasker Award in 1980 -"
Esther's small cheeks were full of eagerness, and a pair of big eyes seemed to flash. Zheng Jianguo had heard that. The flame in his heart was extinguished by the sudden joy, and his voice couldn't help rising a few decibels: "really? Who is director Amy talking to? "
Esther looked into the distance of the corridor and whispered, "it seems that he said it when he called Dean Val after playing with someone from the Gastroenterology Society. Director Amy said on the phone that if professor basford, the Nobel Laureate of our hospital, can mention your name on this year's candidate, it may deepen the relationship between the hospital and you.
In that way, when your training plan is completed, you may be able to work in the hospital. Of course, even if you go elsewhere, the good relationship between Massachusetts General Hospital and you will also establish a deep friendship - the friendship of Nobel laureates is very rare. "
"Do you mean that director Amy suggested to the dean that basford proposed me as a candidate for this year's Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine?"
Zheng Jianguo looked at Esther in surprise. He thought that his sister was talking about the Lasker prize. As a medical prize second only to the Nobel Prize in the world, more than one-third of the Lasker prize winners won the Nobel Prize in the following years, so they are known as the weathervane of the Nobel Prize.
However, the nomination mechanism of this award is slightly different from that of the Nobel Prize. Candidates can only be nominated by professional groups in the United States and internationally, which is also the origin of Amy's nomination by the American branch of the world Gastroenterology Society.
The latter is much more relaxed. In addition to the international professional group, some academic leaders and Nobel laureates with the right to nominate, especially the later Nobel laureates, are added. Because all the winners are leaders in various fields, the professional authority behind them is the top priority.
Therefore, Amy suggested to President Val that basford nominate Zheng Jianguo as a candidate for the Nobel Prize, so that Esther heard: "the society of Gastroenterology proposed you to run for the Lasker prize, basford proposed you to run for the Nobel Prize, and someone came --"
"Zheng, why are you talking here?"
Catherine's eyes swept Zheng Jianguo's face, especially after looking at the lollipop at the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, Esther said, "I'm asking Zheng about the case of gastric cancer."
"Oh, then you can talk in the laboratory."
Thinking of the case that Esther said last time, Katherine nodded with relief and said that she didn't want Esther to look at Zheng Jianguo with big watery eyes: "Dr. Zheng, let's talk in the office?"
"Well --"
Facing the big watery eyes, Zheng Jianguo remembered the white coat she had said before. He felt that his throat was dry and the flames at the bottom of his heart ran around.
Just before he turned around and saw Catherine's side face, Zheng Jianguo flashed Esther's cold evaluation in his mind, so he had to stride his long legs to the laboratory: "it's just coming. Bring me the data analysis."
"I'll go."
Esther's petite figure disappeared. Catherine looked at Zheng Jianguo, turned to the coffee machine, picked up a cup of coffee for him, returned to the table and put it in front of him and said, "when the subject is finished, will you let everyone rest?"
"Yes, take a break. You are both tied up in the laboratory. I'm afraid you can't do some private things. The next topic is more important. You won't get results until you're busy at the beginning."
Zheng Jianguo nodded, knowing that this was reminding himself that Esther's group had finished their vacation or enjoyed a paid vacation.
If Catherine's group did not receive such treatment after the completion, the authority of her group leader might be questioned. Of course, Zheng Jianguo almost turned to men and women because she was provoked by Esther before. Fortunately, she finally woke up and changed her mouth: "if you're OK, you often go to Bertha. She hasn't been in touch with scientific research before -"
"I heard her boyfriend say that if you let her work too late, he won't let her do it -"
Catherine thought of Dr. George she saw at the door of the laboratory last time, and opened her mouth if she pointed out. Of course, she was not a gossip: "I said it in order to prevent her from suddenly quitting and causing you trouble."
"Well, I see."
Zheng Jianguo certainly knows why she said this more. Catherine is more competent as a researcher, but her shortcomings are still obvious as a laboratory manager.
Because they can't deal with the covetousness of the opposite sex for their appearance, they look like an iceberg. This is also a manifestation of psychological immaturity, and they can't distinguish the boundary between work and life. This kind of character is easy to confuse the two.
So now, Katherine has put all her energy into the laboratory and ignored her personal life. This is also the reason why most of the members of the laboratory are women. In order to take care of herself, she kicked out most heterosexual researchers in the later selection process.
Before, Zheng Jianguo saw it in his eyes and kept it in mind. Until then, when he heard Catherine put forward conditions for her men, he felt that her EQ was still qualified. Of course, it was a little worse than Bertha: "what do you think of Bertha's personal ability? Can you support a laboratory? I mean scientific research management -- "
"I feel like you can let me take her for a while -"
Catherine blinked and said a word. Zheng Jianguo looked at her and waited for another two seconds before picking her eyebrow and said, "it's over?"
"I can help her."
Catherine's smooth eyebrows are slightly wrinkled. What she hates most is that the opposite sex stares at herself, especially Zheng Jianguo's small eyes, which makes her feel bad: "if you allow."
"Well, I'm sorry. I'm a little slow -"
Katherine's appearance is more in line with American aesthetics than Esther. From the appearance, she looks like an adult Camille. In addition, she is mixed with intellectual arrogance, which is completely in line with men's imagination of the perfect opposite sex. This is also the main reason why he has some hindsight: "you said to help her, I also want to ask about her shortcomings, but you did the right thing and didn't evaluate other colleagues behind their backs. This is worth affirming -- "
"Catherine, the man is here again, at the door -"
As Esther came back with two folders, Zheng Jianguo heard her say it. Catherine raised her eyebrows on her much softer face, then looked at him and said, "I'll go out -"
