Shocking! This student is phenomenal!

"Su Jiang?!"

Standing at the door was Su Jiang.

Oh no, it can't be called the door anymore, because they've already gone inside. It's just that these people were so busy eating that they didn't see or notice Su Jiang at all.

I thought it was someone from my own lab.

"Hey, Boss Su, you've finally come to our place!"

"It's been so long, and I've had trouble even seeing you. We all helped you and supported you back then, and you didn't even say thank you!"

"You're right, you're such an ingrate, I've never seen you bring me hot pot or fried rice."

"Hey, don't even mention it. They didn't even give me a membership card. I even hired a graduate student specifically to queue up for takeout hot pot for me."

"Since you're here today, give me five membership cards no matter what. Oh, not enough, ten."

"Don't try to snatch it! I'm standing in front, so you have to give it to me first. I'm not mean, I only need fifteen."

"Look at who's in front of you, or me! My feet have been stretched out in front of you for ages!"

......

The three old men got into another argument over Jiangnan hot pot and fried rice.

If others saw them, they would think these three were just old people playing chess by the roadside.

They don't look like top figures in the scientific research field at all.

"Alright, alright!"

Su Jiang had no choice but to once again sacrifice himself to stop them, personally standing between them.

I was almost squashed flat by those three old guys.

I really can't figure out what's going on with these people.

To have such strength at such an advanced age, one should know that one is still in good health.

It seems that eating too much hot pot from Jiangnan has really nourished my kidneys.

Finally, thanks to Su Jiang's efforts, the three old guys were able to get back to their seats.

Each of them held a stack of single-visit membership cards for Jiangnan Hot Pot in their hands.

In fact, Su Jiang could have easily given them a lifetime membership card.

Of course, Su Jiang did the same thing.

Unfortunately, these old guys started eating Jiangnan hot pot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day after getting the membership card.

Su Jiang wasn't reluctant to part with the money, nor was he afraid of being eaten out of house and home by them.

I'm just worried that if they keep eating like this, it will make them all sick.

So they came up with a solution and simply canceled their lifetime membership card.

"Su Jiang, what brings you back today?"

As Qin Siyuan spoke, he quietly slipped his stack of membership cards into the innermost pocket of his cotton-padded coat.

The clothes alone were split into several layers.

"Cough cough."

Su Jiang glanced at the other two; they were using the same tactics.

Wang Delin also stuffed it into his inner pocket.

Wu Hongji was even more terrifying; she stuffed it directly into her own underwear.

"Mr. Wu, please be mindful of your image. My girlfriend is still here."

Su Jiang quickly stepped in front of Lin Wanqing, afraid that she would open her eyes wide.

"Hey, what are you afraid of!"

"I'm a highly educated and cultured person, how could I possibly do such a thing!"

As Wu Hongji spoke, she pulled a rope and pulled a small package out from the buttocks side of her underwear.

Upon opening the package, I was surprised to find two membership cards hidden inside.

He carefully took out the two bills, preparing to put the ones he had just received into the box as well.

Little did they know, these two cards would drive those old men crazy.

"Hey Lao Wu, you're really shameless! You told me you were out of cards, but you still managed to freeload off both of us so many times!"

"Yeah, you were playing the victim in front of me back then, saying Su Jiang didn't give you that many cards, and now look what's happened, you actually have two left!"

"Yes, tell me, what's wrong with you? You're lying to our kindness! Where's your conscience? I was even glad back then that Su Jiang was indeed close to me and had a child with you, and I felt sorry for you, you old bastard. Now it seems you're the one who lied to me!"

"You old liar! I paid for this hotpot today! I'll fight you to the death!"

Qin Siyuan and Wang Delin turned around, one grabbing a stool and the other a spoon, ready to fight Wu Hongji to the death.

The way they were acting was as if they wanted to tear Wu Hongji to pieces and chop him into slices to put in a hot pot.

Wu Hongji, however, took her time and carefully hid all the cards first.

Then put it in the bag, and then stuff the bag into your underwear.

His buttocks immediately swelled up on one side.

Wu Hongji patted his bottom and said happily, "Looks like I'll have to make another one tomorrow, so it'll be more symmetrical when I put it on both sides."

After doing all this, Wu Hongji looked at Qin Siyuan and Wang Delin with a grin.

"What are you two doing? Are you trying to fight?"

"Don't underestimate you two academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. When it comes to fighting, neither of you can beat me in a single blow."

As he spoke, Wu Hongji pulled out his belt from his waist and swung it around in his hand.

"An inch longer, an inch stronger, you know that?"

He exuded the air of someone disciplining their child at home, leaving Qin Siyuan and Wang Delin completely bewildered.

"Alright, alright!"

Su Jiang and Lin Wanqing stepped forward to stop and persuade them, and then got them to sit down.

Everyone sat there, looking at each other, and no one said a word.

Finally, after a few minutes, Su Jiang couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Wu Hongji with curiosity.

"Elder Wu, cough cough, I have a question."

Wu Hongji was in a good mood. He had two more years than the two old guys, Qin Siyuan and Wang Delin, which meant he could eat two more meals.

They naturally became much more generous.

"Tell me, tell me, I'll tell you everything I know!"

"Hey, Mr. Wu, doesn't it hurt your butt to leave it like that?"

"This stack is so thick, you're putting it under your butt, this...this..."

In fact, Su Jiang had wanted to ask this for a long time.

He had been watching Wu Hongji's expression the whole time, especially the moment Wu Hongji sat down.

As a result, Wu Hongji's expression didn't change at all.

Moreover, it felt particularly natural and comfortable, which piqued Su Jiang's curiosity.

"Huh? Gor? Why would that be?"

"I put it here."

As he spoke, Wu Hongji placed his hand on the side of one of his thighs, showing everyone that his thigh looked like it had a tumor.

"Okay, I'm completely impressed, I don't even need to lean on the wall."

Su Jiang covered his face, thinking, "These old rascals!"

"Su Jiang, when you have time, come back and visit more often. Based on your research findings from last time, we have deduced many new breakthroughs recently."

Significant breakthroughs have been achieved in various fields.

Qin Siyuan said with a smile, because for him, this was something he was very proud of.

Su Jiang's Navier-Stokes equations have given the Chinese physics community a significant boost, allowing them to take a giant leap forward and catch up with international physics standards.

"OK."

Su Jiang nodded in agreement.

Just then, Su Jiang remembered his plan to set up a research institute.

"By the way, elders, I have something to tell you. I'm planning to establish a research institute and I'd like to recruit some good, top-notch researchers. If you have any suitable candidates, please recommend them to me."

Upon hearing Su Jiang's words, the three old men immediately became serious.

"What's going on? You actually want to build a personal research institute? You're so bold! Do you even know how much a research institute costs?"

Qin Siyuan panicked immediately.

I think Su Jiang might be getting too arrogant.

Su Jiang smiled bitterly, knowing he couldn't say too much to the elderly people.

He explained briefly, "I just wanted to give it a try, and I have some money on hand."

"I invite you all to serve as honorary deans then."

Su Jiang said with a smile.

However, at this moment, Qin Siyuan spoke very seriously.

"Su Jiang, it's good that you think this way, but right now, there's a very pressing direction you should focus on."
