"Momo."

"Um?"

"Why do you keep your hair so long? It must be inconvenient to take care of it, right?"

"It's really inconvenient, but I like it. Long hair looks so good."

"That's true." Han Chen agreed very much.

Zhou Mo leaned in Han Chen's arms, knocking her chin and asked him, "Can you really cook? How about we order food?"

"You don't trust me so much?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I haven't seen it, so I don't believe it," Zhou Mo said, "Besides, Auntie also said that you only know how to cook porridge."

Han Chen smiled and said, "That's because she has never eaten the food I cooked."

Zhou Mo asked: "You can do it, why didn't you do it for Auntie?"

Han Chen: "I've been too busy and haven't had the chance."

Zhou Mo: "Then how did you learn to cook?"

"You have a lot of questions today," Han Chen said, running his fingers through Zhou Mo's hair and gently stroking her hair.

"You tell me."

Seeing Zhou Mo act like this, Han Chen felt that she was acting coquettishly, and he felt itchy in his heart.

"I learned it when I was abroad," Han Chen added, "but I'm not very proficient in it. It should be enough for a normal meal."

Zhou Mo joked, "Aren't you going abroad to study? Why are you going to learn cooking? Are you attending a culinary school?"

Han Chen gently scratched Zhou Mo's nose and said, "You need to eat when you study abroad. You can't just eat hamburgers and fries every day, right?"

"Yeah," Zhou Mo thought about it and agreed. After all, Han Chen had been abroad for so long, and there wasn't the same food culture as in China. He'd probably get tired of eating there after two days. "When I was in college, we got tired of the cafeteria after two weeks, so we all bought a small pot together and cooked our own food. But those small pots are considered illegal appliances, and if we were caught using them by the dormitory inspection teachers, we'd be punished. Our dormitory was caught."

"Have you been punished?" Han Chen asked.

"I didn't receive any disciplinary action, but my qualification for the master's recommendation was revoked."

"Do you regret it?"

"Of course, but thinking about it, I'm paying for my own mistakes, so it's not a big deal. It's all clearly written in the school rules and regulations. I violated the rules, so I was wrong. They didn't punish me, only revoked my recommendation qualification. The school has already been lenient."

Han Chen stopped her and rubbed her shoulder, "It's all over."

"Well, it's all in the past. There's no point in regretting it. Besides, I have a doctorate now."

"Is it difficult to get into graduate school in China?"

"Yes," Zhou Mo suddenly recalled the past, "There's something I didn't tell you. I was admitted to graduate school after my second attempt."

Han Chen had never heard of this matter.

"Didn't do well on the first test?"

"I shouldn't say I wasn't really prepared, or rather, I had no intention of pursuing a master's degree at the time."

"Why?"

"I want to work and make money. I finally graduated from college, and the thing I want to do most in my mind is to make money."

"Why did you take the postgraduate entrance exam later?"

"Everyone's taking the exam; you have to," Zhou Mo said. "I actually worked for a while, but a bachelor's degree was too limited, and the salary was pitifully low. The CRO company I worked for only offered me 4,000 yuan a month, and after becoming a regular employee, it was only 6,000 yuan. Graduates with a degree start at 8,000 yuan, and after becoming a regular employee, it was over 10,000 yuan."

The disparity in academic qualifications forced Zhou Mo to face reality and choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination again.

"Luckily, my parents supported me. I quit that job after less than six months and then spent the next six months preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam."

"If you didn't want to make money, why did you pursue a PhD?"

"My graduate advisor was also a doctoral advisor. I originally wanted to complete my master's and doctoral studies with her in one go, but she later retired and recommended me to my current advisor."

"No wonder."

"My current instructor, Director Shen, is also very nice. I like her very much."

“She is indeed very capable.”

"Well, she's probably the youngest female teacher in our college to be promoted to associate professor. She was already an associate professor at 35, and became a professor and doctoral supervisor at 40."

"What about you? Do you also want to be like her?" Han Chen asked.

"I don't have her abilities," Zhou Mo knew. "I hope to find a job that's not so tiring and pays about the same as hers in the future."

"Come to the First Hospital of East China University?"

Zhou Mo looked at him in surprise.

"If you can join the First Hospital of Dongda University, we will be considered dual employees of the hospital. There will be many preferential policies, including articles, bonuses, and a lot more."

"Really?" Zhou Mo heard it for the first time.

"Really," Han Chen said, "The First Hospital of Dongda University also has its own laboratory. Many basic experiments can be performed. If you are interested, you can also cooperate with the laboratory."

"That sounds good."

"It must be good. Dean Yao personally oversaw the construction of this laboratory, with an investment of over ten billion yuan."

"..." Zhou Mo: "The hospital is indeed very wealthy. Our college's laboratory is in such a mess. The centrifuge from 1982 is still in use. The most expensive instrument I've ever seen is a spectrophotometer."

This is the difference between wealthy scientific research institutions and poor ones. The difference is probably the difference between Europeans and Africans. They are incomparable.

“But it’s going to be another three or four years before I graduate,” and that’s the point.

Han Chen: "It's okay, I'll wait for you."

Zhou Mo smiled.

She didn't want to work at the First Hospital of Dongda University before, as she felt it was awkward to work in the same unit with Han Chen. But now she is a little eager to work in the same hospital with him.

night.

Han Chen went out to buy groceries.

Zhou Mo helped wash and prepare the vegetables, while Han Chen was responsible for cooking.

The two of them worked hard in the kitchen and finally prepared the three dishes that Zhou Mo wanted to eat.

At the dining table, Zhou Mo complained, "I have to go to work again tomorrow."
