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

Chapter 618 Yang Ge and I are already used to it.

On Thursday, after finishing his class, Xu Qingzhou went to Academician Chu's place for tea. Yang Yongze had been selected as a Yangtze River Scholar, and Xu Qingzhou congratulated him. This senior brother Yang was quite capable, and this title was well-deserved.

The three of them sat down, intending to chat casually, but the conversation quickly turned to academics, specifically Yang Yongze's research on the Langlands program.

Xu Qingzhou was somewhat helpless. He had originally planned to go there for a casual tea break, but it turned into an academic exchange meeting.

Finally, he suddenly realized it was already 11:30 a.m., so he got up to say goodbye, saying he had something to do and was going to the cafeteria to find Zhai Ziqiang.

Even though we're all in the same school, everyone's busy these days, so we have to plan ahead if we want to get together.

Sure enough, only he and Zhai Ziqiang were available in the dormitory group chat.

As soon as Xu Qingzhou turned onto Jingnan Road, he saw three figures standing at the entrance of the cafeteria in the distance. They seemed to have seen him too and were waving in his direction.

Zhai Ziqiang still had that same honest and simple demeanor.

But judging from Xu Zhengyang and Kong Xianbo's accusations in the group, this guy seems to be a seasoned swindler who will secretly retaliate against you.

Zhai Ziqiang was accompanied by familiar faces: Zhang Shuyi and Xue Ying, both currently pursuing graduate studies at Peking University. Since neither Zhang Shuyi nor Xue Ying had time that afternoon, they decided to grab a quick bite at the cafeteria.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xu Qingzhou nodded to Zhang Shuyi and Xue Ying.

"Thank you, Professor Xu, for taking the time to have dinner with us old classmates." Zhang Shuyi's personality remained as lively as ever, showing no signs of being a graduate student who had been tortured by the project.

"That's not sincere enough. Next time, please put up a banner to welcome us," Xu Qingzhou joked.

"Dream on, Yingying. What do you want to eat?" Zhang Shuyi turned to look at Xue Ying, who had been silent all along.

Xue Ying said, "It's a set meal; I haven't had it in ages."

"I'm going to buy a bowl of noodles."

The four of them walked into Yannan Cafeteria, chatting and laughing.

"Old Xu, did you finish class around 10 o'clock? Why are you so late?" Zhai Ziqiang asked.

"I went to Academician Chu's place for a cup of tea."

"Tsk tsk, Academician Chu, when will we be able to sit down and discuss philosophy with an academician like you?"

Zhang Shuyi said with a sigh.

For most students, the impression of academicians can be summed up in one word: busy.

She knew a senior female student who was under the tutelage of an academician, but she could only see her twice a semester; the rest of the time, she was mentored by her senior male and female students.

Let's take another look at my former classmates.

The people I associate with are all professors or academicians. It's incomparable.

"There definitely will be," Xu Qingzhou reassured him.

Zhang Shuyi smiled and said, "Don't we also have the air of professors?"

"When I become an academician, you will have the opportunity to sit down and discuss with academicians."

Xu Qingzhou said matter-of-factly.

"."

"Yang and I are used to it." Zhai Ziqiang spread his hands helplessly.

Zhang Shuyi thought to herself, "Is he just showing off? He must be showing off!"

But what they said seemed to be true; for Xu Qingzhou, becoming an academician was only a matter of time.

Xue Ying covered her mouth and laughed, thinking to herself that this guy's style was the same as on Weibo. Although he was telling the truth, he was still so annoying.

After the four of them finished getting their food, they found empty seats and sat down.
Xu Qingzhou took a few photos of the scene in front of her and sent them to Song Yao.

This girl has been saying she wants to lose weight again lately.

Previously, I only ate grass (a low-fat meal) at night, but these past few days I've started eating it even at lunchtime.

"Where's your wife?" Zhang Shuyi started gossiping again; seeing a beautiful woman was always a treat. Xu Qingzhou put down his phone and said with a smile, "She's at the company. She's been quite busy these past few days."

"That's true, you've probably been busy with patent matters lately."

Zhang Shuyi nodded and shoveled half of her rice into Zhai Ziqiang's bowl, saying, "I have a bit too much rice."

"Don't you like to eat fish? Here, take this."

Zhai Ziqiang also picked up a few pieces of fish from his plate and gave them to Zhang Shuyi.

Looking at the two people showing affection, Xue Ying sighed, "If you're all like this, how am I supposed to live?"

"Envious, aren't you? You should find one too." Zhang Shuyi chuckled.

"I haven't met the right one."

Xue Ying sighed.

"Tch, you're too picky. I know there are several guys pursuing you."

"No way."

Xu Qingzhou slurped his noodles, glancing back and forth between Zhai Ziqiang and Zhang Shuyi.

When they first entered the school, no one could have imagined that these two would end up together. Zhai Ziqiang seemed to have no desires and was focused on studying, while Zhang Shuyi was carefree and outgoing.

But upon closer reflection, I realized there was no problem.

During their university years, Zhai Ziqiang, Kong Xianbo, Zhang Shuyi, and Xue Ying were good friends and often hung out together.

Their personalities complement each other.

This couple's twilight romance is wonderful.

noon.

Xu Qingzhou greeted the others and headed straight for the parking lot. After finishing his business at Peking University, he had to return to the research institute to bury himself in calculations.

Zhai Ziqiang didn't linger either, and went to the library next door.

Of the original four, only Zhang Shuyi and Xue Ying remain.

Xue Ying's phone kept ringing with message notifications.

Zhang Shuyi, holding Xue Ying's hand, asked with a gossipy look, "Yingying, judging from your expression, is it news about that senior brother?"

"Mm." Xue Ying nodded helplessly.

Zhang Shuyi said, "I think Senior Brother Wang has a good personality and is also good-looking. Don't you want to consider him?"

Xue Ying shook her head: "Right now, I just want to work on the project with my mentor and I have no plans to date."

Zhang Shuyi sighed and stopped trying to persuade her.

As her best friend, she knew what Xue Ying was thinking. With such a perfect example before her, no other boy could catch her eye.

She could tell from the beginning that Xue Ying had feelings for Xu Qingzhou.

Unfortunately, this isn't about losing at the starting line. You're only standing at the starting line while your rival is already at the finish line. How can you compete?

Perhaps, given enough time, Yingying will forget about it.

On the other side, Xu Qingzhou returned to the research institute, took out the manuscript of his previous calculations, and after completing the design of the superconducting thin film, he should also focus on the battery.

During these days, he didn't come away empty-handed; he roughly came up with two solutions.

The first approach, starting with the cathode material, involves using high-entropy MXene as the catalytic host. High-entropy MXene (TiVNbMoC) is used as the sulfur host, and a multi-metal site relay catalytic mechanism is employed to achieve the stepwise conversion of polysulfides (S→LiS→LiS→LiS).

Second, following the direction discussed by Zheng Xu's group, we will continue to explore the reaction pathway of the electrolyte and, drawing on previous quantum dot engineering in superconducting thin films, conduct TiON quantum dot reaction pathway regulation.

"We need to hurry up and verify the feasibility of these two methods. The current situation is changing too much. If one day an experimental group suddenly appears and solves the problems of lithium dendrites and shuttle effect before us, we will suffer a huge loss."
