At noon, Xiang Nan and Howard asked Leonard to have dinner in a private restaurant.
"Have you been eating here in the past few months?" Leonard came to a private restaurant for the first time to eat. When he saw the gorgeous decoration, the rich food, and the low price, he couldn't help but feel surprised. said in surprise.
Before, Xiang Nan and Howard ate in the school cafeteria just like him. The quality of the food is average, but the price is not.
About two months ago, Xiang Nan and Howard stopped eating in the cafeteria. He felt a little strange at the time, but now that he thought about it, it turned out that he had a better place to go.
"Yeah, before, only Raj had a membership card here and could bring two people in to dine together. Now even I have a membership card," Howard said proudly.
They are now the darlings of the school, and the school's wealth depends on them, so they are naturally given preferential treatment.
Leonard pursed his lips and said nothing more, but his eyes were complicated, full of envy and regret.
Xiang Nan and Howard have achieved such great achievements that even the places where they eat are superior to others. But he is still the same as before, which makes me feel really ashamed when I think about it.
"Okay, let's get down to business first." Xiang Nan waved his hand to stop Howard from showing off, then looked at Leonard and said, "Leonard, how come you suddenly figured it out?"
It took Leonard a week to figure it out. During this period, something must have happened that made him finally make up his mind.
"Do you still remember the supersolid paper that Sheldon and I collaborated on?" Leonard asked first.
When Xiang Nan and Howard heard this, they both nodded.
Last year, Leonard and Sheldon collaborated on a paper on supersolids, deriving and analyzing the state of matter at absolute zero.
Sheldon came up with the idea, Leonard did the experiments, and the final paper was co-written by the two. After its launch, it became a sensation and attracted widespread attention from the academic community. It is also one of Leonard's greatest achievements in so many years of practice.
"The Institute of Experimental Physics admires this paper very much. It specially invited us to give a paper lecture on the properties of supersolids at a conference with the theme of Bose-Einstein condensation." Leonard then said.
"Wow, that's pretty good." Howard smiled.
The Institute of Experimental Physics is the top scientific research institution in the United States. It is a huge honor to be invited by it to attend and deliver a speech at a top academic conference.
"But Sheldon threw this invitation into the trash can." Leonard said angrily.
He has been at Caltech for so many years, but he has not achieved many achievements. The main reason is that he rarely does original experiments, but only imitates and repeats the experiments of other scholars. Therefore, even if the experiment is successful, the glory will not go to him.
This supersolid experiment was a verification experiment that he conceived and completed alone. After the paper was published, it caused such a big response.
In Leonard's opinion, this is his masterpiece. The invitation letter from the Institute of Experimental Physics is a huge affirmation of his masterpiece.
However, Sheldon threw the invitation into the trash can, which was a complete denial of his masterpiece.
Intolerable!
…
"Moreover, he also said that the entire paper was his credit. He said that his supersolid theory is the truth and does not need experiments to verify it. The reason why he asked me to sign the paper was just to pity me." Reiner De said indignantly.
Sheldon not only denies his contribution, but also wants to dominate the supersolid theory and take all the credit to himself.
Such selfish and greedy behavior just confirmed Xiang Nan and Howard's previous evaluation of him.
Sheldon is an academic bully who likes to be in the spotlight and grab credit. As long as you cooperate with him, you will suffer.
Originally, he thought it was too much for them to say that to Sheldon. But now it seems that I am obviously too naive.
Having learned a lesson and gained wisdom, Leonard naturally does not want to be bullied again.
"What he said is too much. Any theory needs to be verified to know whether it is true or false." Xiang Nan comforted Leonard and said, "The Nobel Prize is awarded more to experimentalists than theorists. Thanks Don really shouldn't despise your job so much."
"Yes, without your experimental support, Sheldon's theory is just fantasy." Howard said angrily after hearing this, "This guy is always self-righteous and looks down on others."
"So I don't want to cooperate with him anymore. I want to join your scientific research team." Leonard said still angrily.
"Good thing, welcome!" Xiang Nan nodded, "But, Leonard, I know you are a pleaser. You want to leave Sheldon because of a moment of anger.
But in two days, after you have calmed down, or he has apologized to you and shown weakness to you, you will probably forgive him and go back to him. When the time comes, you will still tell him the secrets of our project. "
"I won't do that." Leonard waved his hands quickly.
"No, you will." Xiang Nan nodded firmly.
"Leonard, you will." Howard echoed, "Last time, Sheldon drove away your girlfriend, and you vowed to break up with him, but in the end, he just took out a cushion, and you just Forgave him immediately.
Raj helped you get the permanent transfer rights, and within a few days, you returned the cushion to Sheldon. You really can't get rid of Sheldon. As soon as he shows weakness or apologizes, you will immediately give in. "
Hearing what they said, Leonard was very embarrassed for a moment.
"Then what do you want me to do before you believe me?" He said helplessly.
"That's it, unless you move out from Sheldon's place." Xiang Nan thought about it and said.
After moving out, Leonard no longer has to take care of Sheldon's daily life and is separated from him in life.
In addition, he works in the laboratory during the day, so his work is separated from Sheldon's.
He ate in a private dining room, which was also isolated from Sheldon. In this way, they have achieved physical cutting, and then psychological cutting will naturally be a matter of course sooner or later.
"Then where should I move?" Leonard frowned upon hearing this.
"Well, I'm planning to buy a house these days. If you don't have a place to stay, you can move in with me temporarily." Xiang Nan suggested.
Leonard is a very good roommate. He is considerate, dedicated, has a wide range of hobbies, and has a lot in common with himself.
To be honest, except for the embarrassing things, boys are more willing to hang out with boys. Playing games, talking about movies, talking about beauties, talking about right and wrong...
Having a roommate like Leonard can really relieve a lot of worries.
"Okay." Leonard nodded.
