After the dinner, everyone went home.
Penny takes Leonard's car back together.
"Tell me, why did Raj fall out with Sheldon before?" She continued to ask Leonard on the way.
"Didn't you already see them today?" Leonard avoided.
"I was asking why they fell out before. It was impossible for Raj to foresee today's situation, so why did he fall out with Sheldon a few months in advance?" Penny, however, was not so easy to be deceived and continued to ask.
"This..." Leonard hesitated for a moment.
"If you tell me, maybe I can consider going on a second date with you." Penny caressed Leonard's chest, which quickly turned his face into red.
"OK, OK, it's a deal." Leonard couldn't resist and immediately agreed, "This is what happened, two months ago..."
He immediately told what happened.
When she heard that her breakup with Xiang Nan was due to Sheldon's whistleblower, Penny couldn't help but cursed, "Mazefak! Sanou Bichi!"
In the past few months, she had been dealing with Leonard and Sheldon a lot.
At first, she thought these two were quite strange. However, after getting in touch with each other for a few months, she found that the two of them were actually quite cute.
Sheldon, in particular, is silly and cute. Although he occasionally has a sharp tongue, he is still quite sensible most of the time.
But I didn't expect that he looked so harmless, but was so sinister on the inside.
In order to retaliate against Xiang Nan, he actually chose to tell the truth and ruin the relationship between them.
This is really terrible!
"Penny, I think you should forgive Sheldon. He didn't mean to hurt you. He was retaliating against Raj, and you were just accidentally hurt." Leonard saw that she was so angry and quickly defended Sheldon. road.
"Forgive him?!" Penny became even more furious when she heard this.
Xiang Nan is becoming more and more outstanding now. Not only has he achieved success, but he has also gained both fame and fortune. She originally had the opportunity to share all this with him, but now it was all messed up by Sheldon.
He destroyed the happiness that originally belonged to her, so how could she forgive him? !
…
On the other hand, Sheldon's disruption of the awards ceremony did not cause much trouble.
On the one hand, Caltech was worried that this matter would affect the school's fundraising, so it exerted some influence to prevent the matter from spreading further.
On the one hand, the physics department also knows a lot about Sheldon's personality. With his nature, it's not surprising that he would do something like this.
People only felt sorry for Xiang Nan. A good awards ceremony was almost ruined by Sheldon.
Xiang Nan didn't take this matter to heart.
He, Howard, and Leslie have been working overtime these days to make a prototype of the quantum navigation system, and they can't even think about revenge on Sheldon.
However, Sheldon was unwilling to be left alone, and then wrote a paper about what he considered to be the flaws of the "Edgeworth-Kyber Fragment Disk" paper and published it on a preprint website.
After this paper was published, it attracted a lot of attention.
But after people read this paper, they found that the truth was not as serious as Sheldon said.
Sheldon's paper cannot completely negate Xiang Nan's paper, but it is an effective supplement to his paper.
Sheldon originally wanted to destroy Xiang Nan's thesis, but instead he added to it.
In this way, Xiang Nan's winning of the University Science Award is even more deserved.
But Sheldon stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice, and instead became a laughing matter in everyone's mouth.
This made him depressed.
…
February 4th.
After more than a month of hard work, the prototype of the quantum navigation system was finally produced.
Xiang Nan, Leslie, and Howard then began the verification experiment.
"I hope it can run successfully." Howard said with rare solemnity, "Baby, don't let daddy down."
"I suggest that the three of us press the button together." Xiang Nan suggested, "We have all paid a lot for it, and I think we all have the right to enjoy this moment."
Hearing what he said, Leslie and Howard both nodded, then each stretched out a finger and pressed the start button together.
"One, two, three!" Xiang Nan shouted solemnly, and pressed the button with the three of them.
Immediately, the prototype was successfully started.
Seeing this moment, the three of them were trembling with excitement.
"Ah, look, the system can maintain its own stability, and the quantum vortex device is in the self-control direction." Howard pointed at the data on the computer screen.
"So we did it, we really succeeded in developing it." Xiang Nan couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw the data displayed on the screen.
"Awesome!" Leslie, who had always been calm, was a little emotional at this moment.
Then, she hugged Xiang Nan and kissed him hard.
Xiang Nan was caught off guard and was successfully attacked by her.
He originally wanted to push Leslie away, but then he thought about it and felt that doing so would be too cruel for a girl.
If she feels that she has lost face, becomes resentful and has a tense relationship with him, it will not be conducive to the stability of the team.
So Xiang Nan had no choice but to cooperate.
But to be honest, although Leslie is usually slovenly and doesn't look as stunning as Penny and Peggy, she is actually quite cute in person.
Howard and Raj had flirted with her a lot before. Therefore, Xiang Nan is not at a disadvantage.
The two of them were so excited that Howard on the side shone with envy.
"Damn it, if I had known Leslie was so excited, I would have slept with her first." He said regretfully.
…
After a while, Leslie let go of Xiang Nan.
"Thank you." She said with a satisfied look on her face.
"I'm willing to help." Xiang Nan smiled.
"I'm also willing to help." Howard pushed his chest out and squeezed in.
Leslie ignored him, but looked at Xiang Nandao, "Now that the prototype has been successfully developed, what should we do next?"
"The next step is to follow the previously discussed strategy and negotiate with the school. When registering the patent, we will also ask for a supplementary agreement." Xiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "Even if we give up 75% of the patent rights, We also need to take the initiative. Otherwise, the three of us will be squeezed out sooner or later, and we may not be able to make a penny by then."
Upon hearing this, Leslie nodded in agreement.
"What if the school doesn't agree?" Howard asked worriedly.
"If they don't agree, then we will destroy all the data and fight to the death. This is our only bargaining chip." Xiang Nan gritted his teeth. "The school knows better than us how much market potential the quantum navigation system has. I don't think it wants to Got that far.”
"Yes, the school wants to make money more than we do." Leslie nodded, "It doesn't dare to push us into a hurry, otherwise it will have an impact on the school's reputation."
"Okay, let's give it a try." Howard agreed.
