I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 610 The Familiar Feeling of Getting Beaten Up Returns
A plane bound for the capital airport of Xia Kingdom.

In first class, stacks of A4 paper were placed in front of the young man and the elderly man.

The young man lowered his voice and said, "Professor Ma, look, isn't it possible to selectively introduce S vacancies at the edge of MoS to expose more Mo atoms, improve surface electron mobility, and at the same time promote the dissociation and adsorption of HO molecules?"

The old man stared at the manuscript for a while, then laughed, seemingly with some admiration: "What a great idea! My team members have been researching for half a month without any ideas, but Professor Xu found the problem in just a few minutes."

"It was just a coincidence."

The young man said modestly.

The flight attendant would glance in their direction from time to time, especially at the young man, her eyes sparkling with longing.

A world-class mathematician and professor of mathematics at Kyoto University. He is talented, and most importantly, handsome.

Dressed casually in a white sweater and black trousers, her relaxed style exudes a captivating and languid charm.

The line between sloppiness and laziness is so subtle.

After a while, a flight attendant came over.

"Good evening, gentlemen. I am your flight attendant, Xiaolin, and it is a pleasure to serve you. This is tonight's menu and drinks menu. The chef has prepared pan-seared Wagyu ribeye with black truffle sauce, French seafood chowder, and a seasonal dessert for you. Would you like me to introduce them to you in detail?"

Xu Qingzhou said directly, "No need, thank you. Just bring it to us."

"Yes, it doesn't need to be that complicated."

Ma Xuan shook his head with a smile.

The flight attendant was very professional; she brought the meal shortly afterward and even thoughtfully poured white wine for the two of them.

During the meal, their conversation shifted from academic topics to more relaxed ones.

Ma Xuan asked curiously, "Does Professor Xu have any plans to mentor students?"

"Not at the moment. As you know, I have a lot on my plate and simply don't have time to teach students."

Xu Qingzhou took a sip of wine. He might consider mentoring students in a few years; he was completely too busy right now.

"That's true, just those few projects you have on hand are enough to give you a headache. But you young people have plenty of energy."

After a quick meal, the two got back to their own tasks.

Xu Qingzhou continued his calculations on non-metallic doping, and his journey back to China was much more interesting than his journey there.

An older man and a younger man, each holding documents, discussed how surface functionalization, such as doping with transition metal atoms, could enhance the catalytic performance of two-dimensional materials for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and CO reduction.

The study also explored the project currently being worked on by Professor Ma Xuan's team, investigating whether interface defect engineering could be used to increase the density of active sites at the edge of MoS.

At noon Kyoto time, Xu Qingzhou and Professor Ma Xuan disembarked from the plane amidst the flight attendants' reluctant gazes.

Capital International Airport.

The girl in the trench coat stood gracefully, her gaze fixed on the exit.

The girl was about twenty years old, with delicate features and a high nose bridge. However, her face was expressionless, and her calm eyes held a kind of pure and indifferent coolness that made many people who wanted to ask for her contact information give up the idea.

Several minutes later, the girl finally reacted, her lips curving upwards into a sweet smile, like a plum blossom blooming in the dead of winter.

Then follow the girl's gaze.

He was a young man wearing a black coat. He was fairly good-looking, but his hair was a little messy, and you could tell at a glance that he had just taken a long flight.

Then, the girl's cold aura dissipated, and she nestled into the young man's arms.

"Professor Xu~"

The beauty was in his arms, her fragrance filling his nostrils.

Xu Qingzhou held the soft body in his arms, feeling a surge of emotions. He hadn't seen her for a week and really missed her.

"cough~"

The two embraced until a soft cough sounded beside them as a reminder.

Song Yao wriggled out of Xu Qingzhou's arms, her fair cheeks flushed. She had been so busy being affectionate with Xu Qingzhou that she had almost overlooked Professor Ma Xuan standing next to him.

"Professor Ma, this is my girlfriend, Song Yao," Xu Qingzhou introduced to Professor Ma Xuan.

"I know, I know, Professor Li's top student. Hello, Ms. Song." Ma Xuan greeted her with a smile. Both of these young men were prominent figures at Peking University. Xu Qingzhou was a given, and this young woman in front of him was no ordinary person either. She was a rising star in the field of economics, and it was said that Tesla offered her a multi-million dollar annual salary. Currently, all the funding for the Kyoto Materials Research Institute came from the company controlled by Song Yao.

"Hello, Professor Ma."

Song Yao sends her greetings.

"What a perfect couple! Alright, this old man won't disturb you young people any longer. My student is waiting for me outside." Ma Xuan nodded, not intending to interrupt the young couple's intimacy.

"Okay, take care." Xu Qingzhou handed the suitcase to the old professor.

At this moment, a young man ran over, took Professor Ma Xuan's suitcase, and greeted Xu Qingzhou.

Ma Xuan nodded to the two young men and pushed his suitcase away first.

"Let's go."

"No, just one more hug."

After the elders left, Song Yao hugged Xu Qingzhou again, pressed her face against his sweater, and took two deep breaths of his familiar scent.
This is probably what Xu Qingzhou meant by "yang energy".

But it feels really good.

"Little girl, have you had enough? Can you go home now?"

Xu Qingzhou pinched Song Yao's cheek and said softly, feeling a pang of admiration in his heart. It seemed that Song Yao was becoming more and more adorable.

"嘁~"

Song Yao gave a haughty snort, already completely satisfied.

The two got into the car.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Qingzhou first took a picture of Song Yao driving with his phone and posted it in the family group chat, as a way of letting both sets of parents know that she was safe.

Before starting the car, Song Yao glanced at the photos in the group chat and muttered, "Xu Qingzhou, you made me look so ugly in those photos!"

"Ugly? My mom even praised the photo in the group chat. Do you want me to refute her for you in the group chat?" Xu Qingzhou asked with a smile.

Song Yao pursed her lips, said nothing, and started the car.

"A fake mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship, all they care about is mutual flattery," Xu Qingzhou sighed. These two women always feign gentleness when they talk on the phone.

"Professor Xu, please move over a little."

Song Yao waved to Xu Qingzhou with a blank expression.

"."

Well, here comes that familiar feeling of getting beaten up.

"."

Ultimately, the topic ended with Xu Qingzhou getting a shove.

Outside the car window, buildings were rushing past.

Xu Qingzhou yawned and asked, "You've already made contact with domestic battery companies, right?"

Song Yao nodded and said, "Yes, we plan to announce the battery patent information on November 11th, which is next Monday. We will also work on cooperation with major companies in the future."

The patents of the Kyoto Materials Research Institute are all held by Zero Point Technology, and Song Yao is the one who handles most of the negotiations.

"The top companies combined have about 4 million in patent fees, while small and medium-sized manufacturers are unaware of our situation and expect to generate around 2 million in revenue."

"There is no shortage of research funding in the short term."

Xu Qingzhou smiled faintly, paused, and said, "It's about time to arrange the bonuses for Lao Ji. The project is progressing, and the bonuses should keep up."

"I have already discussed it with Director Ji, and the bonus will be paid out in December."

"You've thought of everything so thoroughly, it makes me look like a useless piece of trash."

"Just wait for me to take care of you."
