803rd guest (2)
My journey in the UK is coming to an end.
There are still a few lectures left, and it is supposed to be time for Boss Shen to announce new results.
Shen Guanglin has been busy during this period and has not attended the lecture. Everyone was originally very dissatisfied.
But fortunately, these disciples in Shen Guanglin's laboratory did not hold back at all. They supported Professor Shen's absence very well.
Is your next trip going to France or West Germany?
Besides, since Li Li became pregnant, Shen Guanglin didn't want to leave. Settle down and raise the baby was more important than anything else.
However, after staying in England for such a period of time, Shen Guanglin was also dissatisfied: he couldn't stand the food here.
We fry fish and chicken every day, can we do something different?
Although dog meat is delicious, it cannot be eaten every day.
Especially, Li Li is pregnant. If Boss Shen still eats dog meat every day, where will his anger go?
Both Shen Guanglin and Li Li can't cook, but Sister Manli can, and her cooking skills are pretty good.
However, Sister Manli is from the Northeast, and the meals she cooks are all Northeastern dishes.
What can I say about Northeastern cuisine? It is delicious if you only eat a few meals, but it will be too greasy if you eat too much.
Everywhere you look is pork stewed with vermicelli, sliced meat, and big bones in sauce. People have become fat and have lost their appetite.
Li Li is okay and can adapt to the eldest sister's menu to a certain extent, but Shen Guanglin is not good. He still prefers southern cuisine.
At this time, Xiao Ma came up with an idea. He had a classmate named Chen, who was also a student of Boss Shen. He was a classmate in the same dormitory as Xiao Ma and could be considered a best friend.
Later, classmate Chen came to London to study and then settled down. It was said that my wife was from the south, so we could go there and have some southern meals.
This idea is possible.
Boss Shen has many students all over the world. Since there are his students here, it is appropriate for him to care about the living conditions of the students.
However, Shen Guanglin and this classmate had not been in contact for many years, and he could not remember what Classmate Chen looked like, which was also embarrassing.
Fortunately, Xiao Ma has a really good relationship with this classmate. They have been hanging out at the University of London recently. They are both in London, so they are not far from Imperial College, so they should have been guests in the past.
Xiao Ma symbolically invited Boss Shen to accompany him, and Shen Guanglin easily agreed. He did it for no other reason than for a bite to eat.
Seeing that Professor Shen agreed, Xiao Ma was also so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Shen Guanglin finally understood: Xiaoma probably didn't go there to eat, but to show off his achievements.
Xiao Ma's classmate Chen went to Imperial College to study after graduating from university. His reputation among classmates is more impressive than Xiao Ma's.
That is to say, Xiao Ma has achieved Nobel Prize-level results. Otherwise, if people say it outside, he really can't compare to this classmate Chen.
As a cultural person, this is the best thing to do.
What is classmate Chen doing now?
Working as a teaching assistant at Imperial College.
Then this matter was easier to handle. Sir Shen Guanglintuo contacted Imperial College and easily gave Xiao Ma a new title: he became a visiting professor at Imperial College.
Imperial College is a research university specializing in science, engineering, medicine and business. Its full name is: Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine. It is also a G5 university in England, which is very powerful.
However, Xiao Ma should not be underestimated. His lectures these days have received a lot of praise, and Imperial College is also willing to hire this promising Mr. Ma.
Next is the journey of pretending between master and apprentice, with Xiao Ma mainly pretending and Shen Guanglin cooperating.
Xiao Ma didn't even say that Shen Guanglin was going to participate. He just called Mr. Chen and asked for the address and made an appointment.
Since it was a purely private gathering, they did not bring anyone else with them. The master and apprentice were enough.
Since they had to pretend, it was natural not to pretend too deliberately. After the driver took them to their destination in a Rolls-Royce, he parked far away to avoid being called superficial.
Classmate Chen’s house was bought in a suburb, but it was not the kind of suburb that Shen Guanglin lived in. The suburbs here were real suburbs.
Shen Guanglin's suburb is a suburb by the Thames River, with an income of 6,000 pounds per square meter, and the suburb here is 800 pounds per square meter. If you put it this way, you should be able to understand the difference between the two.
The destination arrived quickly. There was a house number and the place was not difficult to find.
From the outside, this is a house with a pure wooden structure, which is also an English characteristic. This kind of house is warm in winter and cool in summer, has a short construction period and low cost, and is especially suitable for the middle and lower classes.
Because Xiao Ma had told Classmate Chen in advance that he would come over as a guest, they rang the doorbell as soon as they arrived at the door.
Ding dong, ding dong.
The door was opened, and a beautiful and well-dressed young woman poked her head out, "Who are you?"
Xiao Ma smiled and said, "I am Chen Daoming's classmate. Is he at home?"
A good-looking woman makes people feel happy just by looking at her. Although this woman is not as good-looking as the master's wife, she is almost as good as her own mother-in-law.
Pony's sense of superiority is missing.
"Oh, he went shopping for groceries. Please come in. Please change your shoes. The carpet is newly laid."
The woman opened the door completely and entered the back room without looking back.
Not to mention, this swaying figure is not bad. Classmate Chen is lucky to be able to marry such a good-looking wife abroad. It really doesn’t have to be that Xiao Ma’s wife is not good-looking.
However, due to the way of hospitality, Xiao Ma and Shen Guanglin both looked at each other.
However, since they were all here, they saw that there were indeed slippers on the shoe rack, so they changed their shoes and entered the house.
After entering the house, the two people put down the souvenirs they brought. What Xiao Ma brought was a bottle of Eastern European caviar. Shen Guanglin didn't recognize the words on it. What Shen Guanglin brought was a silver coin given to him by Prince Charles. cup.
Shen Guanglin is not a Muyang dog and has no special attachment to this thing. It would be nice to give this kind of silver cup to students.
They were sitting on the sofa and could see the open kitchen within sight, but the hostess didn't show any intention of cooking.
Moreover, she didn't even bring a cup of tea. At this moment, the woman had gone to the garden to pull weeds.
It's early spring, and there's no grass anywhere. What's being pulled out is not grass, I'm afraid it's people.
Shen Guanglin hadn't encountered this kind of cold treatment for a long time, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Have you been to classmate Chen's house before?"
Xiao Ma shook his head, "This is my first time coming to England."
"Then why does she act like she has a problem with us?"
Xiaoma doesn't know either.
In Shen Guanglin's house, no matter Li Rong or Li Li, if there were guests at home, they would never have this attitude.
If they were really behaving like this, cursing with a cold face even before the guests came in, I'm afraid Shen might not be a loudmouth.
It doesn't matter if you don't want such a woman, she doesn't know a thing about worldliness.
But, again, since he's already here, Shen Guanglin doesn't want to break his face directly, so he should wait until classmate Chen comes to say hello.
Shen Guanglin was still smiling at first, but now he is not smiling anymore. He just leans on the sofa, crosses his legs, and leans his hands on the pillow to see if you have any other tricks, feel free to use them.
Chen Weiting is very handsome when he performs the action of holding a pillow with both hands, followed by Shen Guanglin and Xu Zhisheng, who is said to be without makeup, but he can't do it.
At this moment, a seven or eight-year-old girl walked out of the room and asked in English with confusion: "Who are you?"
Even if you are angry, you can't be angry at your children, especially Shen Guanglin is about to have a child of his own, so he suppressed a kind smile and answered in Chinese: "We are your father's friends."
The little girl looked confused.
Shen Guanglin's face immediately turned pale again. What kind of family did they not even teach Chinese at all? It's okay not to get to know such students.
Shen Guanglin signaled to Xiao Ma and stood up to go back. At this time, the door opened from the outside. When Xiao Ma turned around, it was none other than Mr. Chen.
At this time, classmate Chen was stunned, first hugged Xiao Ma, then looked at Shen Guanglin with an incredible look, and said uncertainly: "Professor Shen?"
"Hello, classmate Chen, I came here with Xiao Ma to see how you are doing overseas." Although we are all of the same age, Shen Guanglin is a generation senior after all, so it is time to adjust his tone at this time. of.
Classmate Chen was flattered. He put down his things and rubbed his hands, then quickly signaled: "Professor Shen, Xiao Ma, please sit down quickly and I'll make tea for you."
"Hey, how many times have I been to Aratong Nong Port? Put the things you bought in the kitchen and don't throw them away casually." The woman came in from the yard and criticized classmate Chen.
"Forgot, forgot, I'll pick it up now." Classmate Chen quickly took the pile of ingredients at the door to the kitchen.
At this time, it is neither possible for Shen Guanglin or Xiao Ma to leave, nor to stay.
"Let's have a cup of tea. This tea is brought from China. The tea in England is not delicious."
It's true. British people love to drink tea, but British tea is indeed very unpleasant to drink. It has a medicinal smell and is very weird.
Shen Guanglin took the cup and saw that it was green tea. He took a sip and found that it was old tea. He was a very picky person and gently put the tea on the table, meaning to drink it after it cooled down.
Shen Guanglin stopped talking and looked at Xiao Ma, who looked at Classmate Chen with a worried look on his face.
Xiao Ma felt that it didn't matter that he had been treated coldly, but Professor Shen came with him and he shouldn't have received such cold treatment.
Classmate Chen could only smile bitterly, "She is from Shanghai, so don't be offended by her temperament. The key is that there have been too many junior students from China in the past few years, and she is also afraid and doesn't want to entertain them."
This... is understandable. After all, most international students from China in this era have no money. If you have a senior who has a decent life, you should take a break.
"You guys sit down for a while. The professor rarely comes to England. I'm going to cook some dishes."
