As I asked this question, I started to feel nervous.
He stared at Xu Mo without blinking, afraid that he would really say that he didn't want to go abroad.
Xu thought for a while and said, without hiding it from Professor Sun, "I have a wife and children at home. It's hard to not see my family for five years."
The child is still young and needs his company, and his daughter-in-law also needs his care. How can he dare to leave without peace of mind? If he had nothing to worry about now, he would definitely devote himself to scientific research and serve the country.
Professor Sun sighed for a long time, looking at Xu Mo with pain, "It would be a pity if you give up this opportunity, Xu Mo. I know that you can't take care of both family and career, but there is no family without a country. The country needs talents like you now. It is because of you that our nation has hope.
Although what the teacher said was a little heartless, I hope you can put the overall situation first and put aside the feelings between your children for the time being. When you return home with honor, your children and your family will be happy and proud of you. This is an honor that will never be erased in your lifetime."
Professor Sun said earnestly, "Xu Mo, listen to your teacher and think about this carefully. I don't want you to regret it when you are old. This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must seize it! Not only your teacher, but also your leaders and even senior officials in the country have noticed you. Don't be confused because of a momentary impulse!"
Faced with the professor's earnest advice, Xu Mo really felt that he was not worthy of his teacher's cultivation.
He was filled with passion, but...
"Teacher, thank you for your encouragement and support. I need to go back and discuss this with my family."
This is a big deal, and he needs to ask his wife's opinion.
Professor Sun also noticed Xu Mo's embarrassment and stopped talking.
"Your family will definitely understand you, Xu Mo. You are a genius. Don't bury your talent."
Xu Mo nodded, said goodbye to the teacher, and turned around to leave.
At the door, Professor Shen just walked in and bumped into Xu Mo.
Xu Mo called out, "Dad."
Mr. Shen nodded without saying anything, and the two of them walked away, one leaving the office and the other entering the office.
Professor Sun was drinking tea because his saliva was dry. Just after taking a sip, he heard Xu Mo calling Professor Shen "Dad". Professor Sun was frightened and spat out a mouthful of tea.
Father Shen teased, "Grandson, what are you so happy about?"
Professor Sun put down his teacup and walked to Professor Shen, looking incredulous. "Did I hear you right? Xu Mo called you dad? What kind of dad are you?"
Father Shen was puzzled. "What kind of father? Xu Mo is my son-in-law. Is it wrong to call me dad?"
"What, he's your son-in-law?"
The old grandson perked up, "Is this true? Xu Mo is really your son-in-law."
"There's no need to deceive you about this."
The old man was almost about to roar to the sky. God is really helping me!
"Professor Shen, I didn't expect you and Xu Mo have this kind of relationship! Xu Mo is a well-known physics genius in our class. He is very capable. You are really lucky to have such a capable son-in-law."
Mr. Shen looked calm on the outside, but he was beaming with joy in his heart.
What a joke, how could the son-in-law of the Shen family not be awesome?
"Haha, that's fine. You can brag in front of me, but don't brag in front of the child. It will make him proud."
Professor Sun didn't want to talk nonsense now, so he got straight to the point, "Old Shen, you have to help me persuade your son-in-law not to give up this opportunity to go abroad."
Mr. Shen became increasingly serious.
Xu Mo left the office and met Wen Siyuan when he went out.
Their eyes met and they secretly competed with each other.
Wen Siyuan didn't beat around the bush and said, "From what you said to Professor Sun, it seems that you don't want to go abroad."
He made no secret of the fact that he had just eavesdropped.
Xu Mo had a blank expression on his face. "It has nothing to do with you."
"It has nothing to do with me. However, if you don't want to go abroad, then don't compete with us for this opportunity. You don't have the heart to serve your country. Even if you are a little smart and get the quota, you are no longer worthy of dedicating yourself to the country. You should be more pragmatic and give this opportunity to those who truly love their country."
This accusation directly makes Xu Mo an unpatriotic person.
Who wouldn't be angry after hearing this?
Xu Mo frowned and said in a bad tone, "You said these things just because you think you are incompetent and want to eliminate me who you think is better than you.
Since you value this opportunity so much, then fight for it with your own ability instead of intimidating others. If you think you don’t have the ability, then study hard. Talking nonsense to me will not lead to good results. "
After Xu Mo finished speaking, he walked away from Wen Siyuan.
Leaving behind an angry person.
Wen Siyuan pursed his lips tightly and vowed to defeat Xu Mo this time.
Without wasting any time, I quickly returned to my seat in the classroom and started doing exercises like crazy.
Because of the competition in the Physics Department, you can always see people studying with textbooks in hand.
Today, Shen Jiaojiao finished school earlier than Xu Mo, so she went home early.
When she returned, Shen's father also returned home.
Father Shen directly told Shen Jiaojiao that Xu Mo had the opportunity to go abroad.
Shen Jiaojiao was stunned, her eyes wide open, a little surprised.
When Xu Mo got home from school, everyone in the family was there.
The food was ready, filling the table, but no one picked up their chopsticks, as if they were waiting for him.
Xu Mo was a little confused.
Is there any happy event today? Why are you all gathered together?
