Chapter 68 Sober (seeking a monthly ticket)(1/2)
The lecture in the afternoon was still very exciting. Almost all the top talents in theoretical physics of this era gathered here.
Regarding what these people said on stage, some Shen Guanglin agreed, while others did not.
Of course, those who do not agree are not necessarily wrong, but from the perspective of future generations, their statement should be wrong, at least it is no longer in line with the mainstream view.
Science, as it is, must always tolerate different voices.
Shen Guanglin listed many mistakes and omissions of the speakers in his notebook.
According to their boss' past behavior, he would definitely have a fit on the spot and make the speaker unable to get off the stage. The "Vicious Tongue Team" is not a name for nothing.
However, Shen Guanglin himself had to give a keynote speech at this exchange conference, so he did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Remember it first, and don't "attack" next time you have the opportunity.
The report meeting was conducted in an orderly manner, and the members of the Chinese delegation were also very "honest".
Everyone listened silently and applauded silently. No one spoke or raised any objections.
This afternoon, Vice Principal Liu's mood became obviously happy. It seemed that he had received the money "donated" by Bai Bing.
After the meeting adjourned, Vice Principal Liu called everyone together and said that he wanted to make arrangements for the next day's itinerary.
Why don't you come and continue listening to the lecture the next day?
Of course not coming.
Just leave Shen Guanglin to listen to him. Since the organizing committee attaches great importance to Comrade Xiao Shen, it is just right for you to stay.
Vice President Liu spoke: "Everyone, please be quiet. Let's sit down and have dinner together tonight. Only in this way will we have a more comradely atmosphere and be better able to maintain unity."
That's right, it's boring. You have to be formalistic when eating a buffet. Everyone is ready to pack up and leave.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Today, our Chinese community sent representatives to express condolences. We were originally invited to eat out together. I thought this was a waste of such a good buffet coupon, so I asked them to come with us. Come here, let’s get together and have a lively atmosphere.”
Come on, he said everything and arranged everything.
After everyone went back to their rooms and put down their notebooks and other items, they went to the restaurant to wait.
Soon, two strong middle-aged men came with Vice President Liu. They looked very bold and heroic. They expressed a warm welcome to the scholars from the motherland.
Let's take a seat first and then talk.
In the surprised eyes of the waiter, a group of people put several tables together and started a dinner party.
Since it was a dinner party, it was indeed well prepared. Shen Guanglin didn't even know when they had brought Moutai, and there were two boxes in the area, so each person could get at least one bottle.
There are no half-price small cups like those in China in hotels in Citigroup. Everyone uses the tall glasses that hold red wine to hold white wine.
Bai Bing said she couldn't drink and asked others to order; Li Li didn't say anything, looking eager to try.
This girl, like her sister Li Rong, is born with a lot of energy. If she wants to get them drunk, they can only rely on them to pretend to be drunk.
"As the saying goes, guests do as they please. Let's drink the first drink. I'll take one first." Men must express their hospitality as landlords, and their way of expressing this is to drink.
There were two beautiful girls on the table, which made the atmosphere more lively and showed the man's heroic style. After drinking, the two of them turned their attention to the two girls.
As a student, Li Li had the lowest seniority. She didn't say anything. She looked up and drank when others drank their wine, but Shen Guanglin hadn't reacted yet.
As a southerner, it is really stressful to drink such a large glass of liquor in one go.
The same goes for the girl Bai Bing. She said she couldn't drink, but she drank the wine easily.
Shen Guanglin was in a dilemma. He had touched the cup and had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
This half glass of wine must be one or two and a half or two liang. If you drink it gurglingly, the smell of alcohol will immediately rise from your esophagus.
Not caring about being polite, Shen Guanglin quickly picked up a large piece of bacon with chopsticks to suppress the smell of alcohol.
For the first time, Shen Guanglin felt that Maotai was not that delicious.
Fortunately, the drinks on site were free. Shen Guanglin bought a large glass of grape juice and drank several sips before he recovered.
Although most of the people present are middle-aged and elderly, they all have a good drinking capacity, and all of them are experienced old comrades.
"Xiao Shen, you are from the south, but since you choose to teach at Beijing University, you need to practice your drinking ability more."
In fact, Shen Guanglin was used to drinking, but he had never drunk in such a hurry.
During the period when Shen Guanglin was studying, the basic thing to impress the "boss" was not the ability to drink.
Either it has strong academic ability and is a useful tool dog; or it is good at flattering and pleasing the boss, so it is a fun tool dog; or it has interests in exchange and is willing to dedicate itself to science, so it is an easy-to-ride horse.
Generally speaking, the boss does not need students to drink with him. If he wants to get funding for a project or something, he still needs to drink with others. Therefore, everyone is a victim of the drinking table culture.
Being discriminated against because of his drinking capacity, Shen Guanglin felt very depressed.
Vice Principal Liu was in a very good mood, especially when Bai Bing gave him $800 in the afternoon.
In this way, not only has the funds he can use not decreased, but it has also increased by 300 yuan than originally planned, and he can plan more items.
Shen Guanglin couldn't drink, so he had to work as a waiter in disguise, escaping many times under the pretext of getting barbecue, oysters, and fruits.
Later, the other teachers couldn't stand it anymore: "Xiao Shen, don't be so mean. Let Xiao Li and Xiao Bai go get the things. Girls are suitable for this. You stay and drink."
"But my ability to drink is indeed limited, so please forgive me." Shen Guanglin refused to give in.
"That's not possible. You are the only young person here. How can you not toast as a young person? You still avoid others toasting you."
Stealing wine is frowned upon at the wine table, even if he really can't drink.
"Teacher, let me drink for Brother Guanglin." Li Li chatted, and now she was the only one who could rescue Shen Guanglin.
"It's nice of you to ask a girl to hold your drink for you, but what's your relationship?" The overseas Chinese man envied the young man and woman and had an intuition that their relationship was unusual.
"My partner!" Shen Guanglin was very proud. You guys are a bunch of bad old men. Your wives are definitely not as beautiful as mine.
"Teacher Shen, I will make the decision for you. You can drink this cup by yourself, and you can take the next cup as you wish."
Shen Guanglin could only grit his teeth and drink another glass.
Now I really couldn't stand it anymore, and I felt like my head was buzzing.
Who can withstand this drinking method?
Shen Guanglin was still struggling with his turbulent stomach, but the others did not let him go. They came over to toast one by one, but Li Li really did not refuse anyone who came and helped him hold back the wine.
After everyone drank a few glasses of wine, they got excited and turned on the water blowing mode.
This person said that today’s speaker is just like that. If my English wasn’t bad, I would definitely speak better than him;
Another person said that when I was young, I was more popular than Xiao Shen, and the girls who liked me were lined up from Beijing University to the east gate of Mining University.
There is a school separated between Beijing University and Mining University. It is their old enemy, and this name will not be mentioned at the wine table.
Of course everyone knows that being able to participate in this "outing" is actually thanks to Shen Guanglin, so the topic cannot be separated from him.
In particular, Shen Guanglin is still so young, and he can take such a beautiful woman with him when traveling, and he can also stay in a business suite. This is a treatment that they simply cannot imagine.
In the next few years, it will become common for teachers to take students on business trips to attend academic conferences.
Upright and self-sufficient students also began to fear academic meetings.
Everyone has read Shen Guanglin's speech, and some people have even made suggestions for revisions.
At that time, it was a compliment from Qing Yishui; now if it is mentioned at the wine table, it is no longer a compliment.
"The speech you wrote was too frivolous and not stable enough."
In fact, Shen Guanglin did that to show humor. After all, we are in Citiland, and the content of his speech must not only be informative, but also interesting.
"The depth is too insufficient, the direction is unstable, and it's almost like making up random things. Other foreigners may not be convinced."
Shen Guanglin didn't want to defend himself. He felt his head getting heavier and heavier, and then he lost consciousness at some point.
...
It was noon when I woke up again.
The TV was blaring, so there must still be someone in the room.
According to the plot in ordinary TV dramas, Shen Guanglin should lift off the quilt at this time, take a look at his body, and then start screaming.
Because his clothes are missing.
Slept naked all night.
In fact, when Shen Guanglin woke up, he knew that he had slept naked, and the touch was different. He could feel it without looking at it.
Generally speaking, if you drink liquor, you will definitely get "headed" the next day, which means your mind will be filled with explosives.
The scientific explanation is that liquor contains fusel oil, which is a mixture of fatty alcohols with more than 2 carbon atoms. This stuff is actually poisonous. If you drink too much, you will inevitably get sick.
Why are there not these in Moutai? After researching clearly, you can apply for academician of the Academy of Engineering.
Of course, you may not be able to get approved after applying.
Shen Guanglin put on his clothes and went out to look for water.
Sure enough, sister Li Li was sitting on the sofa watching TV. It seemed to be a TV series that Shen Guanglin had not watched.
"Brother Guanglin, you're awake."
The air-conditioning temperature in the room was low. Li Li was wearing a long T-shirt on her upper body. I don't know if she was wearing any clothes on her lower body. She was holding a pillow covering her knees and watching TV with great interest.
