Downstairs of Princeton's dormitory.

A silver car appeared around the corner, stopped at the front door with the lights flashing.

He reached out and turned the key to get off the car. Qin Yue, sitting in the driver's seat, looked aside and said.

"Here we are."

Untied the safety belt, small Tong very politely thanks to say, "thank you to come to pick me up."

Qin Yue smiled and said casually, "you're welcome. Can I help you with your luggage?"

When he was a student in Princeton, he was taken care of by land boat. Now it's his turn to repay his mentor's kindness. In his opinion, at least, this little thing is nothing at all. It's all he should do.

However, only a little Tong and her brother are too similar, that is, they are not willing to use their own things to trouble others. Therefore, after hearing Qin Yue's proposal to help carry the luggage, Xiao Tong hardly considered it, and politely declined.

"No, I can do it myself."

Qin Yue didn't insist on helping. He nodded: "OK, then I won't bother. If there is anything I need to help, I'll tell you."

"OK, I'll go first."

"Walk slowly."

After saying goodbye to the old brother's former student, Professor Qin, who now teaches in Princeton, Xiao Tong first went to Suzhou to get the key, and then stepped on the stairs with a thumping step, carrying the suitcase without many things up the stairs.

She applied for this student apartment on the Internet. It has all kinds of furniture. Basically, she can move in with her bag.

After staying in the room, Xiaotong spent about two hours to simply clean up the room, and then went to Nassau hall, the administrative building of Princeton, which is not far away from here, with her own materials, and went through the enrollment formalities.

In fact, Princeton is not a strange place, or even a familiar place.

Several years ago, it was the summer vacation that she had just finished the college entrance examination. She had lived here for two months and didn't go back until she went to JINDA to check in at the end of the summer vacation.

She can still vaguely remember that her brother, who was a professor in Princeton at that time, had a little assistant who looked lovely, spoke softly, and was probably not much older than her.

Just because the little assistant was too afraid of strangers, she tried to take the initiative several times and failed to establish a deep friendship with her.

"I don't know if she's still there."

After going through the enrollment procedures, Xiao Tong, who returned to the apartment, leans on the soft bed and stretches comfortably.

"If only I could make friends with her But she probably didn't know me, did she? After all these years. "

All the way to the tired gradually hit the brain, not long after the room will only be safe breathing sound.

After nearly a whole day's flying and all the way's driving, I can finally get a good sleep in a serious bed.

Thinking about her future campus life, she slept soundly until Krugman touched her beard and asked, "is it a top conference?"

Xiao Tong said sheepishly, "not yet..."

Unfortunately, Professor foster, her former tutor, is not a very well-known bull in the field of macroeconomics, and most of the opportunities provided to her are not in the academic field, but mainly concentrated in investment banking internships like her senior brothers and sisters.

At that time, Xiaotong had not made up his mind to develop in the academic field, so he did not pay special attention to the well-known top-level conferences of his major, just went to several general conferences with his tutor.

"Never been there? That's just right! "

He didn't mind Xiaotong's experience of not attending the summit before. Professor Krugman's eyes brightened and clapped his hands with a smile as if he thought of some brilliant idea. He continued: "there will be a exchange meeting on the direction of macroeconomics in Shanghai next week. It's an important academic qualification to participate in the summit. Even if you don't publish an article on it, it will be very rewarding for you to listen to it. There are also some academic awards for young scholars, PhD and master's degree. If you haven't participated in the summit before, you'd better come with me to see the world. "

It's almost in the moment when this sentence is said.

Xiao Tong noticed that all the doctoral students and master's students in the office, including the elder martial brother named Weiser, had an obvious look of envy in their eyes.

As a Nobel Prize winning scholar and the great bull of macroeconomics who once created an era, Professor Krugman usually attends meetings and rarely takes students with him, except for the students he particularly values, or the students just published their chapters at the meeting.

And this guy

It's less than a day since the report, or even less than an hour since I walked into this office, I have been treated like a VIP

It's so admirable!Being looked at by these sight lines is not comfortable, small Tong some embarrassed ground to refuse a way.

"But I'm not prepared at all, or you can take others -- "

" it doesn't matter! It's just that in the past, you didn't have to prepare for it. "Without hesitating to interrupt Xiao Tong, Professor Krugman continued," one day you have to publish an article in such a top-level meeting. Now, it's very helpful for you to be familiar with the process of the next meeting, even if it's only to be familiar with the process of the next meeting! "

Heard the tutor all said so, small Tong also cannot say the words of the excuse for a time.

In fact, she is not willing to miss such an opportunity.

The only thing that bothered her was that she had just flown over from Shanghai. If she followed her tutor to the meeting, it would mean that she would fly back soon

At the thought that he had to spend more than 20 hours in the sky, Xiaotong suddenly felt bad for the whole person

(I'll try my best to burst to the 20th, and it's too cruel for a second watch animal to keep the fourth watch)
