Chapter 34 Yingying "I said, go to sleep"
The day before her defense, Chen Riying received revision comments on her previously submitted paper. It was a response she expected. The reviewers pointed out two minor issues, which she only needed to make minor revisions.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister."
"Good luck on your defense tomorrow. If it goes well, and you can publish another SCI paper after that, it will be a double blessing at the beginning of the year!" Chen Riying opened the email in the laboratory, and when he opened the email, it was exactly the same as when his senior brother Li Xiang received the email before. Everyone was watching.
The atmosphere in the laboratory is very good, and there is no intrigue. This is all because their supervisors provide good guidance and are basically fair, with the same resources given to every graduate student.
Therefore, no matter who submits to which journal, as long as the manuscript is accepted, everyone will sincerely congratulate.
"Yes, yes, senior sister is so outstanding." Feng Huixia echoed. He was wearing a shirt and trousers today. He had been busy with interviews recently and had traveled to many places.
He now wears formal attire every day and looks a lot more mature than before, but his tone of voice remains the same.
"I'll treat everyone to barbecue. See you at Alice BBQ Restaurant in Dongmen at 6pm. Everyone must come!" Chen Riying said in a good mood.
She didn't have any dinner plans tonight, and she had to go back to school in the evening to make final preparations for tomorrow's defense. It would be nice to have a meal with her seniors and juniors.
After all, in a few months, they will go their separate ways, and there will be few opportunities to see each other again.
"Then let's have a meal together, we can just pay for it ourselves!" Li Xiang said from the side.
When Chen Riying suggested having dinner together, Li Xiang naturally pushed for it.
"I'm fine!" Feng Huixia nodded.
"Okay!" Cen Shuang also said.
There were other people in the class in the lab, but they were not my mentors, so they did not participate in the dinner.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the four of them left school together and arrived at the barbecue restaurant on time.
I ordered a set meal for 4-5 people and used a coupon, so the cost per person was only 109.
This is indeed an acceptable range for Peking University students.
"Brother, after the defense is over tomorrow, what other work will you usually do?" Chen Riying asked Li Xiang.
Li Xiang is now his supervisor's doctoral student and graduated last year. Although Cen Shuang is in the same class as Li Xiang, she had been on exchange for a year before and is progressing slower than Li Xiang.
Cen Shuang also has to defend her thesis this year, so she doesn't know the process after the defense.
"It's nothing special. I just need to revise my thesis according to the revision suggestions after the defense, confirm the final version with the professor, submit it, and supplement relevant materials. Finally, I have to wait for the society's evaluation. There's also the graduation assignment, which involves answers about employment or further studies. Remember to transfer, attend the graduation ceremony, and take pictures!"
Li Xiang not only defended his thesis himself, but also served as a teaching assistant as a doctoral student. Graduates can consult him on these issues.
The answers were clear and fluent.
"It turns out there are so many things to do." Feng Huixia felt anxious and busy again after hearing this.
I thought I could relax after the defense and left school immediately.
"Then, when can we leave school?" Feng Huixia asked Li Xiang.
“Once the final version of the paper is submitted, the formalities will be completed,” Li Xiang replied.
"Thank you, senior brother, we got it." Cen Shuang was grilling the meat the whole time. Now she distributed the grilled meat to everyone and said with a smile.
Four people gathered together to eat barbecue, chatting while grilling and eating, and it took them two hours to leave the restaurant.
We walked back together along the route we came back.
The wind was blowing on the road. It was only the end of April, but the air was already filled with the feeling of parting, although it didn't mean we would go our separate ways tomorrow.
After entering the school, another doctoral student came to find Li Xiang, and Li Xiang separated from the three of them.
Only Chen Riying and the other two returned to the laboratory. Chen Riying finalized the PPT for tomorrow's defense, demonstrated it once, and found no problems. Then he packed up his computer and took a taxi back to Tianshi Bay.
After placing the computer bag on the entrance hall, Chen Riying sat down to change her shoes.
The upright computer bag slowly tilted and slid towards the floor. Suddenly, a big hand reached out and held up the laptop bag.
"Oh, I didn't put it away properly, thank you." Chen Riying stood up instantly and took the computer.
Fortunately, it didn't fall to the ground, otherwise it might have been broken.
She doesn't bring her computer back every day, but tomorrow's defense will not be held in the laboratory, but in a conference room in another teaching building.
She doesn't have time to get the computer from the lab tomorrow as it's quite far away.
"Why thank your husband?" Fu Nian stood beside with one hand in his pocket, with a slight smell of alcohol on him.
Chen Riying put the computer on the table and sniffed Fu Nian's suit jacket.
"Did you have any drinks at a social gathering?" Chen Riying stepped back and asked in a flat tone.
She wasn't angry that he drank. His drinking had nothing to do with her. It was just that there was a slight smell of alcohol.
"Yeah, I just got home too."
"Let's go take a shower." Fu Nian took off his suit jacket, pulled out his tie, unbuttoned his clothes, and walked towards the bathroom.
Chen Riying sat down on the sofa and rested his head with his head tilted back.
Finally fell asleep on the sofa.
After taking a shower, Fu Nian came to the sofa and carried the person back to his bedroom.
He reached out and brushed the hair away from her face, moving it to the side where it was out of the way.
"Help me up. I haven't showered yet."
"I also smell the barbecue we had at the dinner party." Chen Riying woke up the moment he was put down on the bed.
He reached out to Fu Nian who had just stood up.
"Okay, do you want me to carry you to take a shower?" Fu Nian took her hand that was stretched out in the air.
"No need." Chen Riying withdrew his hand, patted the bed and stood up.
Walk towards the bathroom.
"You even carried me to your room." Chen Riying turned around and said to Fu Nian, suddenly realizing that she was actually in Fu Nian's bedroom.
"You slept here yesterday." Fu Nian spread his hands.
Are we still strictly sleeping in separate rooms?
Hasn't the rule of sleeping in separate rooms been broken several times?
When she was stressed, she slept with him.
As soon as the pressure is relieved a little, they just pack up and leave.
How could there be such a bad woman in marriage?
Chen Riying ignored this, took a comfortable bath, and went back to her room to sleep.
I didn't lose sleep because of the defense the next day. The defense was quite simple. The defense was to listen to opinions, and the final draft was revised according to the opinions after the defense.
The next morning, Chen Riying put on formal clothes, put on some light makeup, tied her hair into a bun, and took a bus to school.
The defense will be conducted in the form of defense groups, one by one in order.
Chen Riying is ranked 4th. I wonder if she can get her turn in the morning?
If it’s not your turn, just watch others defend their thesis and prepare for your own.
The whole morning passed, and it was almost half past ten when two people finished their defense.
There's an hour and a half left, and I guess I can only make it through one more.
She happened to be fourth, which meant she was the first in the afternoon.
Chen Riying didn't have anything to prepare, and didn't want to listen to his classmates, so he propped up his head and daydreamed.
year: [Is it over? Let’s go to lunch together to celebrate.]
Just when Chen Riying was distracted, he glanced at his phone and saw the message from Fu Nian.
day: [Not my turn.]
day: [Let’s have dinner together.]
After having lunch in the cafeteria at noon, Chen Riying went to the stage to prepare at 1:30 in the afternoon. She was not nervous at all. She was nervous when waiting, but when it came to the actual performance, she felt nothing.
After the introduction, answer questions from the defense committee.
Chen Riying answered the questions one by one, quite fluently. After all, it was his own paper, and he understood it well. He knew every detail and was not easily stumped.
The defense committee will not make things difficult for students who complete their thesis well.
In less than two hours, Chen Riying finally finished his defense.
Students who have finished the class can leave and go back to revise their papers.
Chen Riying currently has two papers that need to be revised.
Graduation thesis and previously submitted SCI papers.
"I'm out, at the west gate. Where are you?" At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Riying had not yet reached the west gate, but called Fu Nian on the way.
"Then why didn't I see you?" Fu Nian replied.
"Then you've arrived. I still have 2 minutes." Chen Riying hung up the phone and sped up a little.
Sure enough, as soon as I walked out of the west gate, I saw a black Bentley parked on the side of the road at the entrance.
Chen Riying opened the car door and got in, and saw Fu Nian sending messages on his mobile phone.
"Why don't you let the driver drive?" Chen Riying looked at him. He has been busy every day since the Chinese New Year.
Except when he is in bed, he is not making work calls or sending messages. The rest of the time he is either on the phone, looking at documents, or sending messages.
You can answer or make calls anytime, anywhere, standing on the balcony, living room, or even in the kitchen.
One time when we were still kissing, he pulled away to answer a work call.
She almost laughed out of anger.
This situation has been going on for several months.
Chen Riyi never mentioned it or asked about it.
I just didn't expect him to be so busy.
Doesn't the company have a vice president or a manager? He, the boss, has to do everything himself.
"His wife went to the hospital to give birth." Fu Nian put down his phone, turned on the left turn signal, and drove into the main road.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Fu Nian didn't take his phone and left it in the car.
Chen Riying had been defending his thesis and working on his thesis all afternoon, and was now starving.
At the dinner table, Chen Riying had nothing to say, and his mind and eyes were filled with only picking up food and eating it.
"Mr. Fu, what a coincidence. I haven't seen you for a long time." Xie Shan brought a client to have dinner. Not long after entering the door, she saw Fu Nian. Xie Shan said something directly to the client and came over to greet Fu Nian.
Since they worked together once last year, Sunmi has never worked with him again. Doesn’t Xie Shan know where she offended him?
In the past, when other public relations companies cooperated with Fu, it was not a one-time deal, but would continue for a period of time.
When it comes to Xuanmei Public Relations, the cooperation was just a one-time thing.
There are rumors in the circle that Xuanmei’s public relations is no longer effective and has lost its influence.
Their company was almost turned into a sunset company on the verge of bankruptcy. As the main partner in founding the company, Xie Shan really couldn't accept it, but she had never had the opportunity to meet Fu Nian in person.
There is no way to find out the reason from others indirectly.
But if she offended Fu Nian, she could explain.
"Mr. Xie and his partners are coming over for dinner?" Fu Nian said casually when he saw the client behind Xie Shan.
No fluctuations, calm.
"Yes, then we won't disturb Mr. Fu and his wife from having dinner." Xie Shan responded, not seeing any problem.
"Who is she? How come she knows me?" Chen Riying said after the other party had left. She didn't even know this person.
But this person seemed to know her. He didn't say a word to her the whole time, and only called her name at the end?
"Mr. Xie from Xuanmei Public Relations, we have worked together once before." Fu Nian explained.
"We've cooperated once, just once?" Chen Riying listened. How could they cooperate with a public relations company only once?
Aren’t they all long-term collaborations?
And Fu Nian’s company should also have its own public relations team.
"Well, our cooperation ended after the wedding." Fu Nian said, adding juice to Chen Riying's glass.
"Employees of the other company have no sense of boundaries when doing business with each other." Fu Nian explained further.
At the booth diagonally across the restaurant, Xie Shan, having mastered lip reading, understood what Fu Nian meant and figured out the question that had puzzled her for so long.
"Oh." Chen Riying had no intersection with Fu Nian's work. Although she was required to accompany him to some banquets, she just sat there as a vase, not participating in or caring about anything.
Other wives came to talk to her, but she would often say that she was still in school and the other party could not force her to go to the tea party.
For a moment, Xie Shan wanted to fire Tong Mutan, but firing Tong Mutan would be of no avail and the cooperation could not be saved.
Moreover, Tong Mutan’s work ability is pretty good.
But when Fu Nian and Chen Riying left the restaurant, Xie Shan looked at Chen Riying a few more times.
Mrs. Fu knew nothing and did nothing. Logically, the failure of the cooperation had nothing to do with her.
But Xie Shan subconsciously still felt that it was because of Mrs. Fu's reminder that the Fu family believed that their company's public relations had no sense of boundaries and terminated the cooperation.
However, the other party was the daughter of the Chen family, so Xie Shan had to admit that she was unlucky.
Losing such a big client.
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie." The customer opposite called out to Xie Shan twice.
"Please go ahead. Sorry." Xie Shan came to her senses and immediately apologized.
The two of them arrived at the car, and as Chen Riying opened the door, she heard the phone ringing.
She thought it was hers, and then she saw Fu Nian reach out and take out the phone on the central console.
"You haven't picked up your phone yet. You answer the call. I'm driving." Seeing this, Chen Riying realized that it was no wonder that he was not disturbed while eating just now.
Chen Riying walked towards Fu Nian and pushed him to the co-pilot seat.
"Thank you for your hard work." Fu Nian nodded, answered the call, and walked to the passenger seat.
After Chen Riying fastened her seat belt and prepared to leave, she saw Fu Nian fastening his seat belt with one hand and reached out to help.
At the same time, I touched the back of his hand. Just as I was about to pull it back, my fingers were squeezed.
Along the way, Chen Riying was listening to Fu Nian's conversation. Fu Nian was wearing headphones, so Chen Riying naturally didn't know what the other party was saying, but from Fu Nian's few words, she could tell that it was a project in the United States.
I think he will go to the United States on business trips frequently in the future.
If he was on a business trip, she could take the initiative to go and sleep with him when she was not busy with her studies.
Maintain her foreign marriage intermittently.
Chen Riying thinks it’s great, especially perfect!
There is no need to worry about the obstacles that may arise from studying for a doctorate in a foreign country.
"What are you thinking about? The light is green." Seeing that she had the green light and had no intention of leaving, Fu Nian knew that she was thinking, most likely about her thesis.
"About sleeping." Chen Riying said what was in his mind as he released the brake.
"Think about it when you get home." Fu Nian laughed.
This puts more pressure on the thesis.
During this year, Fu Nian also realized his own usefulness.
It was used to relieve her thesis pressure, and she had thrown it away countless times after using it, but he was still used to it.
I have to think of a way. If she does this again next time, I will definitely punish her.
Chen Riying parked her car in the underground garage and went straight to the study, turned on the computer, and began to work on her thesis. She had to finish both papers as quickly as possible and upload them to the system.
Because he was too immersed in the work, Chen Riying was busy until one o'clock in the morning.
Fu Nian wanted to call Chen Riying to go to bed three times, but seeing that she was too focused, he couldn't bear to disturb her.
After all, he himself also has to stay up late to work overtime.
But if she continues like this, the risk of sudden death will increase greatly.
She got up so early in the morning, didn't get any sleep during the day, and stayed up all night.
"Are you going to sleep?" Fu Nian walked to the table, stretched out two fingers, and casually tapped the solid wood tabletop.
"Ah?" Chen Riying looked at Fu Nian and slowly let out a cry of "Ah."
"Okay, you wash first." Chen Riying thought about it and agreed.
She no longer has the pressure of writing a paper, and she only needs to take some revisions, which is fine.
Well, I guess he's under pressure from work.
"I said, go to sleep." Fu Nian looked at her and smiled, then said after a slight pause.
