Chapter 30 Yingying carried me to the bedroom
Chen Riying and Cen Shuang separated for a while. Cen Shuang went to the recruitment booth to have a chat and even started an interview on the spot.
She is mainly interested in the poster session, and she also has her own posters to display.
After checking the schedule, she found that it was not her time to present yet, but she opened the schedule of others and took the initiative to communicate and ask questions, exchanging Chinese and English. She even greeted German scholars in German when she met them.
So much so that the other party's desire to communicate becomes even stronger.
Immersed in the high-intensity communication, time passed so quickly that at the end, everyone was still reluctant to leave. Chen Riying exchanged business cards with the other party.
After the meeting, follow up.
Cen Shuang contacted her on the phone. Chen Riying said goodbye to the German scholar she had just met and replied to her senior sister's message.
After a successful meeting, we returned to the hotel.
Wash up and go to bed, I have a schedule for tomorrow.
On the third day, there were still a lot of people on the scene, and at first glance it looked as noisy as a vegetable market.
But finally, it was time for the theme conference, and the best and most cutting-edge papers began to be presented to everyone.
The acceptance rate of NeurIPS is only 20% to 30%. Only top papers are accepted, but there are still top papers among the top ones.
The goal of outstanding graduate students in the research group is to publish one paper in NeurIPS and one in SCI. Chen Riying already has one paper in NeurIPS and is in great need of another paper in SCI.
Thinking of this, Chen Riying checked his mailbox again to see if there were any important emails.
The boss's work results were eye-opening. At the end of the day, Chen Riying and Cen Shuang both took a lot of notes.
Or notes that I must study after returning.
After sitting for a whole day, everyone was exhausted, so Chen Riying and Cen Shuang did not participate in the communication.
When I returned to the hotel, I walked through the lobby and heard two groups of people arguing.
Judging from the content, it seems that these are not ordinary tourists, but scholars attending an academic conference.
There is a "Code of Conduct" in the meeting, and basically no conflicts occur. Everyone is civilized. Even though there are cultural differences, any discrimination is indirect.
What's more, nowadays there is generally no open and blatant insults and discrimination, it is often invisible and subtle.
But I didn't expect to meet in the hotel and have an argument.
One of them is obviously a Chinese student.
"Let's listen." Chen Riying pulled Cen Shuang and stood beside her to listen.
"Yeah." Cen Shuang nodded slightly, listening with Chen Riying from the side and back.
Judging from their skin color alone, they have all three skin colors: yellow, white and black. They are arguing in English, and the same word has different pronunciations. Chen Riying can clearly tell where these people come from.
Cen Shuang had a year of experience studying abroad for an exchange, where she met international students from various places and could understand some of what they said.
The Chinese students were surrounded by students from both countries and asked to explain some policy issues.
It's comparable to foreign media asking questions at a diplomatic conference, with malicious and sharp words already prepared.
"Judging from their backpacks, they should be T-sized." Cen Shuang and Chen Riying said.
The two students initially explained in a friendly manner, but were still labeled as unfriendly after their explanations.
I was so anxious that I made a grammatical mistake and was laughed at.
"Why don't you explain your country's culture to us? We don't understand it either." Chen Riying walked over, stood next to the two students from T University, and threw the question back.
"Junior sister." Cen Shuang's junior sister came up to her without her noticing, and she followed her and stood beside her.
As soon as I stood up, I heard my junior sister nod politely and then start speaking elegantly.
"Really? Really?"
"I don't believe it."
"Yeah, we don't believe it."
"Ohhhh? Is that so? That's weird."
"I don't quite understand. Are you serious?"
"I didn't expect it to be like this. It doesn't seem very civilized."
“There’s an old Chinese saying…”
"Keep working hard and develop."
In the end, the other party was at a loss for words and the expressions on his face changed.
More and more people were standing behind the university student. The few people in front looked around, turned around and ran away in embarrassment.
"Ah, why are you all leaving?" Chen Riying asked in confusion when he saw several people fleeing in panic.
"I'm from T University. Thank you so much just now. I went back to the hotel and was waiting for someone. Unexpectedly, I ran into my roommate from my previous exchange period. This kind of thing happened frequently before, but I didn't expect to run into him again, and there were more people on the other side." The student from T University looked at Chen Riying, then at Cen Shuang, and explained.
"It's okay. We shouldn't fall into the trap of self-justification and explanation in the face of such unfriendly attitudes. We should directly ask them, communicate with them about their culture, and express that we don't understand or don't know if it's true." Chen Riying said.
"That makes sense." Several people nodded.
Because of this episode, the group added each other's contact information.
Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
On the fifth day's schedule, there was a poster session for Chen Riying. Chen Riying started preparing a day in advance, bringing business cards and posters and setting them up.
Chen Riying shared his work with many people, actively introduced it, obtained evaluations, and communicated in a friendly manner.
Getting some good guidance was enough for Chen Riying.
Chen Riying has a good memory. Several people she met at the hotel yesterday passed by her poster, but they didn't recognize Chen Riying and ran away in shame.
I would never dare to cause trouble here.
The seven days of communication passed quickly, and Chen Riying achieved the purpose of this trip.
When it was time to go back, Chen Riying's plan originally included a visit to an American professor who was attending the conference. However, after learning more about the situation, he discovered that one of the people who had been causing trouble at the hotel was a student of this professor and was in charge of the laboratory as a doctoral student.
Chen Riying thought about it and immediately canceled the trip. There was a more suitable option, but she gave up this one.
After booking the tickets, Chen Riying and Cen Shuang flew back directly.
After landing at the airport, Cen Shuang took the subway back to school.
The driver at home was already waiting for Chen Riying. Chen Riying got in the car and returned to Tianshi Bay.
During the seven days in New Orleans, she didn't exchange a single message with Fu Nian.
She didn't send it, and neither did the other party.
I don’t know where he is today, but his business trip should be over?
Chen Riying didn't think too much about it. She took a shower and lay down on the bed to take a nap.
When I woke up, it was already dark, and it was still three in the afternoon when I landed.
In just a few hours, it was dark.
Chen Riying was so hungry that she immediately rolled out of bed and planned to order some takeout for a meal.
"Wake up, come and have dinner." Chen Riying walked out of the room and stood on the stairs, yawning with his forearm against his forehead, when he heard these words in a familiar voice.
Tianshiwan High-rise is a high-end residence with a large flat floor height of 4.5 meters. There is a small step between her living room and bedroom areas, and the step light strips use soft orange light.
When you step on it, it looks warm to the naked eye. In fact, it is heated and you can walk on it barefoot.
Especially now it is December in winter, when there is sufficient heating, it is even warmer.
"Here he comes." Chen Riying looked at Fu Nian, who was wearing a khaki low-necked thin sweater. His pants were still trousers, but his top was no longer a shirt.
He has smooth side profile, excellent bone structure, delicate skin on his neck and a sexy Adam's apple.
This feeling of home is overwhelming.
"How do you know I'm at home?" Chen Riying walked over and sat down, asking casually.
Didn’t she tell Fu Nian that she was coming back today?
"Ask the driver."
"Why don't you just ask me directly?"
"Next time I'll ask you directly."
"good."
Sweet and sour spare ribs, scallion tofu, shrimp soup, and fried noodles with soybean paste are basically Chen Riying's favorites, and they are also what Fu Nian is good at cooking.
Chen Riying doesn’t like high-end cuisine, she prefers home-cooked meals, with fresh ingredients cooked over an open fire and ready to eat.
The phone on the table rang. Chen Riying took a look and picked up the phone immediately.
"Hello, mom." Chen Riying put down her chopsticks and said in a clear voice with a hint of coquettishness.
She hasn't seen her mother for a long time.
"Come home for dinner tomorrow and bring Xiaonian with you." Ms. Dong Zhuo said with a smile.
"I'll ask him if he has time." Chen Riying looked at Fu Nian, not knowing his recent plans.
I hope you won’t be on a business trip again.
He cooked for her at home today. Although he is good at cooking and has some cooking skills, he doesn't cook often. Today, either he cooked specially for her because she came back, or he was going on a business trip again tomorrow and cooked a meal for her before leaving.
"I'm leaving for Morocco on business tomorrow morning."
"I'll come back to see you the day after tomorrow." Fu Nian said.
"Okay, then Yingying will come back by herself." Ms. Dong Zhuo continued with a smile.
The main thing is that my daughter comes home.
"See you tomorrow, Mom."
"We are having dinner. Fu Nian cooked it himself." Chen Riying said with a smile.
Fu Nian in front of him looked over, raised his eyebrows, and praised him specifically, with the corners of his mouth secretly raised.
"You're flying around wherever you're on a business trip."
"Is it necessary for you to go on a business trip in person?" Chen Riying looked at Fu Nian, and she realized that he was going on a business trip to Morocco, from North America to North Africa.
He is flying around randomly.
"Can't bear to leave me?"
"No."
"I invite you to go with me. The destination is also a tourist attraction."
"No, I'm busy applying for a doctorate."
"Come on, you can do it."
“I’m going to study abroad.”
"Then I'll come find you."
"You won't keep me?"
"No."
Chen Riying put the dishes into the dishwasher. He cooked and she cleared the table. Her aunt would not be coming tonight.
By tomorrow, the smell of rice will spread with the heater on.
Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Chen Riying stretched and turned on the cartoons he loved to watch as a child. The device played in high definition.
However, Chen Riying was not immersed in the topic, and was thinking about Fu Nian's word "no".
This answer was actually what she wanted.
Chen Riying was in good spirits and didn't feel tired even after watching for two hours.
Probably because I took a nap in the afternoon, I heard footsteps behind me.
"Something happened." Chen Riying asked without raising her head.
There are only two people in this family, so it can only be him.
"Where are you going to study? Is it far?" Fu Nian hugged Chen Riying from behind and suddenly asked.
"If you don't want me to go, then I won't go. Seriously."
The people behind were silent.
"Carry me back to the bedroom." Chen Riying turned around and stretched out her arm towards Fu Nian's shoulder.
Fu Nian picked up Chen Riying with his big hands and held her against the sofa.
Chen Riying wrapped her legs around Fu Nian's strong and slender waist.
He is very casual and has the patience and time to turn off cartoons.
"Are you nostalgic? How many times have you watched this cartoon?"
“I never get tired of watching it.”
"Look at me too."
"How can someone be so narcissistic?"
"Ultra-thin, threaded..."
"Anything is fine."
"Everything is OK?"
…
In fact, Chen Riying has not decided whether to apply for a job outside. Although she is not particularly homesick, she loves food.
Especially when it comes to food cooked by Fu Nian, it’s a profit if you can eat one more meal.
Although we should have great pursuits in life, a meal that pleases our stomach is also the supreme pursuit.
