Chapter 89 Either Crying or Going to the Toilet

The banquet didn't last long. Locke had just returned to Meijing Town and parked his car in the garage when he saw a woman visiting, Mr. Solis' wife Gabriel.

"Hello, Mrs. Solis." Locke closed the garage door and asked, "What can I do?"

"Uh~ It's like this, our family has encountered some difficulties recently, Solis' mother was bumped into the hospital, and Solis was also taken away by the FBI..."

Gabriel's tone was a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing, I believe Mr. Solis will return home sooner or later." Locke comforted.

"I believe it is the same, but because Solis is in prison now, the family's finances have been affected. I heard from Susan that you are proficient in mathematics and helped her get more tax refunds..."

Gabriel spoke out her purpose hesitantly.

Because some things were found out, Mr. Solis was investigated, and the family had no income. In addition, it was expensive to hire a lawyer and bail. She needed to support herself.

Mr. Solis usually earns a lot, but also spends a lot, especially Gabriel's favorite thing is to take Mr. Solis's credit card and go to the luxury counters in the shopping mall.

Their family's savings are limited, and when they encounter these problems continuously, her housewife friends can't help much, and Gabriel can only rely on herself to find a way.

Fortunately, at this time, Susan offered her a suggestion, that is, to ask Locke for help, and also said that Locke helped her get a huge tax refund.

She didn't care about it before, but now that the successive changes in the family have caused major financial problems, she can only come to Locke to help with the audit to see if she can save money as much as possible.

"Mr. Solis is my friend, and I hope to be able to help him."

Locke thought for a while and said, "I don't have much control over the lawsuit, but I can help you sort out your family's financial situation. I hope it will be useful."

What Mr. Solis encountered was actually participating in the exploitation of the labor force of the third world countries.

Based on this alone, Locke will not exonerate Mr. Solis, otherwise he can spend money and use contacts to get Mr. Solis out.

In addition, they can help sort out their family's financial situation, anyway, it doesn't take much time.

"That's great, thank you very much." Gabriel said happily.

"I just came home, and I still need to sort it out. You will bring all the bills and everything in a while. Don't miss anything. I'll take a look for you."

"Okay, I'll go back and get ready." Gabriel happily ran home.

Back home, Peggy went back to her study to continue solving the math problems assigned by Professor Gate, and Locke helped Gabriel, who was holding various bills, sort out her financial situation.

Soon, Gabriel left with these things and the tips that Locke sorted out, and Locke returned to the study.

"You solved it?" Locke knew it when he saw Peggy's expression.

"That's right." Peggy nodded and said a number, which was the same as the result calculated by Locke.

"Let me see your manuscript," Locke said.

"No problem, let me see yours too." Peggy handed her manuscript to Locke, then came to Locke's desk, and picked up his manuscript.

"The method you use is different from mine, but it seems easier." Peggy said after reading it.

"It's just a flash of inspiration." Locke said calmly, "I don't know how Sheldon is progressing?"

"Don't worry, as long as he solves it, he will definitely call and announce it impatiently." Peggy said with certainty.

"You don't want to tell him the news that you unlocked it?"

"Anyway, I'm only the second one to unlock it. As long as I'm not the first one, what's the difference between saying it or not?"

More than an hour later, Dr. Hofstadter's home.

"I figured it out, I'm the smartest person in the world." Little Sheldon happily jumped off the chair and announced with dancing.

"Very good." Beverly immediately came to Sheldon's side after hearing this, and praised: "It's a good job."

Leonard, who had never been treated like this before, looked aggrieved when he heard Beverly praise Sheldon so much.

"I'm going to call Peggy and tell him that I'm the smartest person." After being happy for a while, Sheldon said and came to the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, Little Sheldon couldn't help but raise his chin: "Peggy, let me tell you something, I have already solved Dr. Gater's question."

"So?" Peggy replied with a somewhat indifferent tone.

Little Sheldon was choked, and then emphasized: "I said I figured it out. I was the first, so I am the smartest."

"Really?" Peggy said a number in a flat tone, which immediately made Sheldon stunned.

"You figured it out too?" Sheldon would rather have heard it wrong.

"Just 76 minutes ago." Peggy sneered, "And Locke solved it earlier."

"What!" Little Sheldon yelled, "I don't believe it, you lied to me!"

"I know you called me with the idea of ​​preempting No.1." Peggy said calmly: "But unfortunately, Locke was the first one to unlock it. I just don't know."

Little Sheldon was stunned for a moment: "Impossible, how could this be possible."

He couldn't accept such a gap. Both Locke and Peggy had solved it before him. Doesn't that mean that in mathematics, a field that purely tests IQ, he is the last one among the three!

"No!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help shouting out loud.

"It seems that the development of the matter is not as some people expected." Leonard, who has been secretly listening to the movement here, said leisurely.

The next moment, Little Sheldon's face twitched, he hung up the phone, and ran towards the toilet.

"He either went to cry or went to the toilet." Peggy hung up the phone with a determined look on her face.

Locke chuckled, Peggy really knew Sheldon, or Sheldon was too easy to see through.

Before he and Peggy and little Sheldon were not in the same school, so the impact was not obvious.

But since being in a university, things have changed.

The three people's reported courses are highly overlapping, and it can be said that they look down and see each other in school.

Not only was he suppressed by Locke, but there was also a girl of the same age who was faintly smarter than him beside him, which repeatedly hit Little Sheldon's pride and self-confidence.

The self-confidence that was originally full is now on the verge of collapse, and it is almost impossible to maintain it.

If it wasn't for the fact that little Sheldon is only 11 years old now, when he is very plastic, his mind would be directly distorted.
