Chapter 464 I Don’t Love Money
"Professor Huang, open the door. I know you are at home. Don't hide inside and keep silent..." Lin Xiangnan knocked on the door. He became happier and happier, even knocking out a rhythm. "Professor Huang, open the door~ I know you are at home~ Don't hide inside and keep silent..."
She is the kind of person who is just here for a quick visit and will leave, but Professor Huang will be living in this building forever, so he can't afford to ignore her.
Less than two minutes later, Professor Huang opened the door with gritted teeth and a dark face.
"I was listening to the radio in the room just now and didn't hear you knocking on the door. I guess I didn't wait too long." The fake smile on Professor Huang's face was very hypocritical at first glance.
"Not long, not long, it's quite fun to knock on the door like this. I found that I have a talent for music. Did you hear the rhythm of my knocking on the door just now?" Lin Xiangnan smiled. She was in the mood for acting and even wanted to knock for two more minutes.
Hearing this answer, Professor Huang's expression was relatively stable, but his wife couldn't help but burst out laughing and called out, "Quick, quick, Professor Lin, come in and sit down. Don't stand outside. Come in and talk."
This time, Professor Huang's wife did not say anything polite like "It's enough for you to just come, why do you need to bring any gifts?" She took the gift very calmly.
Just when Lin Xiangnan knocked on the door, Professor Huang must have done a lot of ideological work for his wife.
There is no need to say too much, his wife also understands. This is not the first time that Lin Xiangnan has done such a thing. When Professor Huang was hospitalized before, Lin Xiangnan had sent nutritional supplements many times.
In Professor Huang's words, this was compensation for his mental damage. After being angered by Lin Xiangnan, he had to eat something good to make up for it.
"Why did you come to see me today?" Professor Huang asked bluntly.
"I'm here to congratulate you." Lin Xiangnan sat on the sofa and asked excitedly, "My dear Master Huang, are you surprised that the project has made a major breakthrough so quickly? Are you surprised?"
It was quite a surprise and unexpected. When Professor Huang mentioned this, he couldn't suppress his joy, but he didn't want to show it in front of Lin Xiangnan. He didn't want Lin Xiangnan to be too proud.
The emotions in his heart were too complicated, happiness and pain were reflected on his face, and his expression was twisted into a ball.
"Tsk~ your face is about to break from laughing." Lin Xiangnan commented.
Professor Huang accused, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Lin Xiangnan didn't care about Professor Huang's expression. He clenched his fist and cheered Professor Huang up. "Come on! Work hard! Don't give up! Professor Huang, I believe in you!"
"Drink some water, drink some water." Professor Huang's wife smiled and poured water for Lin Xiangnan. She was much more relaxed than Professor Huang.
Lin Xiangnan took a sip of hot tea and asked, "How are Professor Liu and Professor Zhao doing recently? I haven't seen them for a long time..."
She was not only concerned about Professor Huang, but also about other experts, especially those who usually quarreled with her the most fiercely.
Lin Xiangnan didn't hold a grudge against them. She actually hoped that they would be well! As a person as generous as she was, how could she remember that little dispute from the past and remember it for so long?
Professor Huang is a down-to-earth person. When he heard that Lin Xiangnan wanted to visit his old friends and was afraid that his old friends would be in trouble, Professor Huang tactically drank some water and pretended not to hear it.
He is determined to defend his comrades to the death.
"Did Professor Liu go to another place like Professor Qin? I remember he wanted to use forging equipment of that tonnage level, which is only available in the neighboring province..." Lin Xiangnan chattered, not treating Professor Huang as an outsider at all.
"Why are you so idle?"
"Who's free? I'm quite busy. If I didn't have a good relationship with you, I wouldn't take the time out of my busy schedule to make this trip."
Lin Xiangnan said it confidently. The laboratory was indeed very busy, and Su Wangwang and the others were also working during the summer vacation. Lin Xiangnan could spare so much time because she didn't like to do repetitive experimental operations.
She only does the most challenging parts, and she will reasonably distribute the rest of the work to her assistants.
Even if the assistants work a little slower than he does, Lin Xiangnan doesn't mind. Assistants need to be trained. If you don't train them, you will have to work until you die.
Lin Xiangnan kept saying that he was very busy, but Professor Huang didn't think so. He stroked his chin, looked Lin Xiangnan up and down several times, and then laughed maliciously.
"Hearing your laughter..." Lin Xiangnan said suspiciously: "What argument have you come up with that can defeat me?"
"What's wrong with me smiling?" Professor Huang drank some water and did not give a direct answer.
He and Lin Xiangnan had quarreled so many times, in the newspapers, on TV, and in person, but they were all about work. After quarreling for a long time, they developed feelings for each other, and their personal relationship actually got better.
If he wants to win the argument against Lin Xiangnan, he can only use more than one. His old friends are not here, and he cannot fight to his full potential alone. Professor Huang does not want to argue, he just wants to send Lin Xiangnan away quickly.
After sending Lin Xiangnan away like a god, Professor Huang went to the school office to make a phone call.
"Hey, Minister Lei, don't you want to organize a joint effort to solve the technical problems this time? I recommend someone to you, Lin Xiangnan. You know her strength..."
"Professor Lin's level is unquestionable, but the project she is working on is also very important." Lin Xiangnan was not among Minister Lei's original candidates.
"It is important, but Lin Xiangnan is too busy to handle it. If you don't believe me, call the leaders of their school... Lin Xiangnan is a good comrade with excellent abilities. With her around, there will definitely be a different effect..."
Professor Huang spoke sincerely and praised Lin Xiangnan eloquently. If you didn't know him, you would think Lin Xiangnan was his best friend.
But in fact, neither of them is a good person and they have very bad intentions.
When Lin Xiangnan walked out of Professor Huang's house, he felt so refreshed that he had already made plans in his mind before leaving the house.
Not only did she paint a big picture for Professor Huang, she also painted one for other experts and other projects. If every big picture could be completed ahead of time... Just thinking about it made Lin Xiangnan feel so happy.
Since she wasn't that busy lately, she decided to spend more time tracking the progress of those big dreams.
If everyone was as overly low-key as Professor Huang, how much happiness would she lose?
This kind of spiritual happiness cannot be achieved with money, so when Lin Xiangxi stuffed a pile of money into her hands, Lin Xiangnan was unmoved.
"Throwing money at me? I don't like money by nature! We are all family, don't make things difficult for me, just take the money away."
"Sister, my dear sister, please accept the money. My motivation for making money is to spend it on you. If you don't accept it, what's the point of me making money..." Lin Xiangxi's flattery was deafening.
Hu Meili, who only received a few small gifts and a thousand yuan as a filial gift, watched Lin Xiangxi's performance silently with her hands in her pockets.
