Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

[If you want to wait till 7: 00, I will go to the appointment. "(ᐛ")_]

Once again, I opened my phone and confirmed the email. Although I didn't really understand what the young people were saying with their emoticons, Professor Krugman could still read the words.

“Five minutes and seven o'clock left,” Professor Andis continued, lifting his cuffs and looking at the time on the watch, "are you sure he was talking about seven o'clock at night? ”

Professor Krugman shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.

“To be honest, I'm not sure, I'm not even sure he meant today or tomorrow? ”

“You should ask! ”

Professor Andis muttered softly, sighing and stood up and continued.

“I'm going to get something to eat first… it can't wait forever. I advise you to go get some food too. It's not good for your health to pack your stomach full before you go to bed. ”

Just as Professor Andis picked up the plate and was about to pick it up, a figure suddenly walked in the direction of the door.

When he saw the face that impressed him, Professor Krugman's eyes lit up... or stared, so his hands stood up against the table and then warmly extended his right hand to greet him.

“Ha ha, welcome! Professor Ark, nice to meet you! ”

He also saw the ark that appeared in the cafeteria, and Professor Andis did not leave for a while. He smiled and dropped the plate in his hand and followed him.

“Finally, I've waited for you! ”

“I'm not late, am I?” Looking at the silver watch worn on his left hand, the ark whispered to himself, "It's risky, we're a minute late. ”

Shot on the shoulder of the ark, Professor Krugman showed no less enthusiasm than the insurance company salesman and said with a smile: “There's no need to strangle for a minute or two, even if it's too long, we'll wait for you. Let's eat and talk. My stomach is starving. ”

The boat accidentally said: "You haven't eaten yet? ”

Professor Andis, of course, said, "Isn't this waiting for you? ”

The look on the ark was slightly embarrassing, and he coughed softly.

“... Actually, I don't mind you waiting while you eat. ”

After hearing this, Professor Krugman and Professor Andes fell into obsessive silence and finally took a silent look at each other.

That look seems to be saying...

MMP!

Why didn't you fucking tell me?

……

The three of them picked up their meals and sat at a table for four by the window.

Looking at the space next to the ark, Professor Krugman suddenly remembered something and took his phone out of his pocket.

“Let me make a call first. ”

The ark nodded and was already hungry. He didn't even have the courtesy of the two sitting opposite him. He reached out and picked up the knife and fork and began to break down the Boston lobster in the starting plate.

After a while, Professor Krugman, who had just gone to make a phone call, walked back.

Coming with him, and the sister of the ark, that is to say, Xiaotong, who flew to Princeton only a few days ago...

“Hi... brother. ”

Xiaotong waved embarrassingly, some embarrassed to sit beside the ark.

When I saw my sister sitting next to me, the ark didn't feel unexpected, just smiled and said.

“What do you say? Is the new environment still adapting? ”

“Pretty good...” Some embarrassing scratching of the back of his head, Xiaotong whispered, "Aren't you surprised when you say that? I'm on the Shanghai side. ”

Hearing Xiaotong's question, the ark bent the corner of its mouth.

“Professor Krugman is here, and I guess this guy will definitely bring you too. Let me guess, did he ask you to call me when the plane landed this way? You want me to come over? ”

When he heard that the ark had perfectly restored what had happened the day before yesterday, Little Tong blinked in surprise.

“What? Can you guess? ”

“Wait, you didn't call?!” Krugman looked at Xiaotong with surprise, looked at the boat with a smile and a smile, and then his face showed a punctuated expression, and he coughed with embarrassment, "I stated beforehand, I didn't tell her to call you, I just wanted her to call her family and give her peace. ”

Ark: “What's the difference? ”

“Well," Krugman gave up, shrugging his shoulders, leaning against the chair, helplessly saying, “I apologize, I did play a little clever, but I swear I had absolutely no ill intentions. ”

Professor Andis, sitting next to Professor Krugman, also helps his friend to say, “Krugman was kind enough to want you to see that his research is doing a great job in this area, and that's why I want you to come here… In fact, I'm sure you can see that the Lu-Bewley model is now one of the hottest directions in economics, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Nobel Prize Committee were to consider awarding you the prize for it. ”

“It's a little early to say this, and they owe me a physics award for the theory of strong electric interaction, so why don't you send me that thing first? ”

He laughed less carelessly, and the ark threw his gaze at a slightly grumpy little tongue, counting his opening.

“You've been to Shanghai, why didn't you call me? ”

Xiaotong sighed and finally sighed.

“Well, I'll be honest… I'm afraid you're laughing at me. ”

“If you were to tell me the truth, you wouldn't be fooling around with me. ”

Looking at a stunned little tongue, the ark paused for a moment and continued.

“Actually, you don't have to worry about getting me in trouble at all. ”

As soon as he heard the sentence, Tong's eyes opened slightly.

“Why... suddenly say this? ”

In that surprising sound, with a hint of surprise and consternation that was seen through, the sparkling magic in his eyes was also completely unexpected.

It was as if something bad had been done secretly by an adult and had just come home and been seen at a glance.

“'Cause that's what you're thinking? ”

Such a look appeared on his face, and the ark shook his head with a smile and sighed and said.

“Actually, someone else's favor is quite troublesome for me, and a lot of what I have to do cannot be pushed away, because the reason for responsibility cannot be pushed away at all. This includes coming to Shanghai, including attending the IMCRC debriefing ceremony, which is kind of a hassle for me… and quite a hassle. ”

In fact, he has always felt the contradiction in Xiaotong's heart.

On the one hand, I want to rely on myself, but on the other hand, I yearn to get rid of my dependence on myself, and from being bullied in school to being a little girl who can only scream at my brother, to being as strong, independent, even powerful and mature as my brother...

After all these years of living together as a child, he knew her so well.

After all, this little guy has been running behind his ass since he opened his crotch pants. The personality aspect is really engraved in a mold with him...

Speaking of which, the ark paused for a moment and looked into Tong's eyes and continued.

“... but you are my sister and you are not someone else. No matter how many times you've asked me, I've never thought of you as trouble. ”

The open eyes widened slightly, gradually printing a layer of water mist.

“… brother. ”

Looking at Xiaotong, Ark Zhouguan smiled, reaching out and rubbing the little guy's head, continued.

“Don't tell me anything from now on! Remember what I told you a few years ago when you were in undergraduate school, New Year's? ”

Lifting her sleeve, she rubbed her corner of her eyes, and Xiaotong sucked on her nose, and her voice swallowed with some indifference.

“… which sentence? You talk so much, I can't remember. ”

“Take you for a ride,” the Ark laughed, joking, “and bring back another Nobel Prize in Mathematics. ”

The previous conversations were in Mandarin, but the last half was in English.

Always listening in the clouds and suddenly hearing this, Professor Andis suddenly complained unwillingly: "Nobel doesn't have a math prize, that's an economics prize! ”

“Exactly! I agree with Professor Andis that” Professor Krugman, sitting next to him, nodded conscientiously and protested, but soon his tone softened again, “of course, although Nobel did not have a math prize, that did not prevent mathematicians from winning… If you are willing to continue studying the Lu-Bewley model in this direction, it is only a matter of time before the prize is won. ”

“Haha, don't get excited, you're right Nobel doesn't have a math prize, it's an economist's honor... I'm just kidding. ”

Looking at the atmosphere on the dining table gradually became a little happy, the ark laughed, looked at Xiaotong, with a serious divine colour on his face, continued.

“With regard to the afternoon briefing, much thought has been given since the departure of the Reporting Office. ”

“It would cause such great misunderstandings among good mathematician scholars like Joseph, and perhaps I have some problems myself. ”

“This time I took the Lu-Bewley model a little seriously, and I simply improved it,” I took the A4 paper out of my pocket and folded it into a square, and the ark unfolded, and I looked at it again, and I handed it over to Xiaotong, “and what was on these drafts was the improved Lu-Bewley model. ”

“While I'm not sure if it really works, as you call it, it will be more rigorous and operational, at least in mathematical terms, than the previous model. ”

Come on, he squeezed his eyebrows and in front of Professor Krugman and Professor Andys, who were full of surprises, looked at the stack of A4 in his hand and wrote a joke on his face.

“This time, your brother and I used more than an hour. ”
