"Then how can I keep her away from her social circle?" Leonard asked again puzzled.
"That's easy." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Penny spends a lot of money and often cannot make ends meet. Just invite her over for dinner every day, and after dinner, let her play with you until late at night before sending her home. .
As a result, she has no time to socialize with others. As time goes by, we are not the only friends left. "
Penny worked as a waitress at the Cheesecake Factory, and her salary plus tips actually earned her a monthly salary of four to five thousand, which was no less than what Peggy earned as an assistant.
It's just that she spends money lavishly, often buying clothes, leather shoes, bags, cosmetics, etc. In addition, as an actor, there are some additional expenses, such as taking acting classes, taking artistic photos, etc., so I often cannot make ends meet.
Xiang Nan had helped her many times when he was dating her before.
"Well, a good idea." Leonard said with bright eyes, but then his face froze and he asked worriedly, "Raj, if I invite her here, you won't fall in love again, right?"
"You are such a bastard!" Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help scolding, "I already have a girlfriend, why are I hooking up with Penny? Besides, if I really still have feelings for her, I need you to do it. Pursue her?"
After being scolded by him, Leonard suddenly became more awake.
Indeed, if Xiang Nan wanted to chase Penny, he could just chase her and it would be over. There was no need to play tricks on her.
"Then it's settled." He nodded immediately.
…
The first day that Peggy and Lalita moved into Xiang Nan's house was basically uneventful.
There were no quarrels or conflicts, and everything seemed harmonious.
But Xiang Nan knew that the war between the two had begun.
Because that night, Lalita behaved more enthusiastically and crazily than before.
Xiang Nan understood that it was because of Peggy's arrival that she felt a sense of crisis.
…
Suddenly, Leonard followed Xiang Nan's suggestion and invited Penny to Xiang Nan's house for dinner.
After Penny declined for a moment, she agreed.
On the one hand, as Xiang Nan expected, she had recently run out of money and couldn't find a job; on the other hand, she still missed Xiang Nan and went to his house for dinner to see if they could get back together.
"Okay, thank you for the invitation. I'll be there on time tomorrow night." Penny said on the phone.
"Better, I'll pick you up after get off work." Leonard heard this and said quickly.
According to Xiang Nan, if Penny drove there by herself, she would probably drive away after eating. It was about nine o'clock at that time, and she could still go to the bar to have fun.
On the contrary, if he picks her up, it depends on his arrangement when Penny leaves after dinner. At that time, wait until ten or eleven o'clock before sending her home, so that if she wants to go out for fun, she won't have to rush.
"No need, I can find it by driving myself." Penny said sheepishly.
It was already very generous of people to treat her to dinner, how could she be so embarrassed to let them do it again?
"That's so troublesome. It doesn't matter. I'm just dropping by to pick you up." Leonard insisted.
When Penny heard what he said, she couldn't refuse anymore, so she smiled and nodded.
…
"YES!" Leonard said excitedly after hanging up the phone.
"What's wrong? Did you win the lottery?" Howard asked curiously when he saw this.
"Happier than winning a lottery." Leonard said excitedly. The long journey of thousands of miles has taken the first step to success!
"What's going on?" Howard asked curiously.
Leonard couldn't hide the secret, so he immediately told Xiang Nan how to teach him how to pick up girls.
"Damn! I'm also his good buddy. Why didn't he teach me such a good method?" When Howard heard this, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
"It's useless to teach you." Suddenly, Xiang Nan's voice sounded behind him, startling Howard, "Penny doesn't like you at all. Even if you invite people to dinner, they won't agree. your.
If the first step doesn't work, how can we take the second step? ! "
"Don't say that, I'm actually quite attractive now." Howard straightened his shirt and said in a pretentious manner.
He is now the inventor of the quantum navigation system and a future billionaire. Girls who like him are lining up from school to school. Who dares to say that he is not popular? !
Xiang Nan ignored him, but looked at Leonard and said with hatred, "Why are you so loose-lipped and unable to keep any secrets?
Just remember what I teach you. Why tell others? Once word spreads and Penny knows about it, do you think people will still like you? "
Leonard was robbed by him, and his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
Indeed, he shouldn't have told Howard this.
Howard is not one to keep secrets either. If word spreads and Penny knows his little thoughts, then this trick won't work if he uses it again.
It was all his own fault. As soon as he took the first step towards success, he began to get carried away.
"I won't spread it." Howard promised quickly.
"I'm not referring to you specifically." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I'm reminding Leonard. Since he can tell you, he can naturally tell others. The more times it happens, the more it will inevitably spread. So keep the secret, and at the end of the day, it will spread. The best thing is don’t tell anyone.”
"Yeah." Howard and Leonard both nodded.
…
After reminding Leonard and Howard, Xiang Nan returned to the office and continued his research.
His "Superasymmetry Theory" is progressing smoothly, and it will be completed in at most one month.
The reason why he reminded Leonard to keep it secret was mainly because he wanted to ask him to do experimental verification.
As a major breakthrough in theoretical physics, "Superasymmetry Theory" will win the Nobel Prize in Physics, which is basically a certainty.
Because at this stage, the development of theoretical physics has been stagnant for twenty years. For such a long time, there have been basically no eye-catching breakthroughs in theoretical physics.
Leonard even put forward the statement that "physics is dead" and gained everyone's approval.
Therefore, once the "Superasymmetry Theory" is verified to be true, it will undoubtedly be a major breakthrough in theoretical physics. It will break the dullness of the physics world for twenty years and win the Nobel Prize.
It’s just that the Nobel Prize favors scientists who verify theories rather than scientists who propose theories.
For example, in 1948, the famous physicist Gamow and others proposed the Big Bang theory of the universe.
In 1964, two American physicists, Arnold Penzias and Robert Wilson, accidentally discovered traces of the Big Bang and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974.
Therefore, although Xiang Nan proposed the "Superasymmetry Theory", if another team had verified it, he would probably not have been recognized by the Nobel Prize.
So he hopes to do experiments with Leonard and win the prize together. This not only helped himself, but also helped Leonard.
The most important thing about this matter was keeping it secret, so he used the topic to remind Leonard to pay attention to this matter.
