Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 32 32【Bread and milk】

   "Rajesh, don't eat in this cafeteria anymore. You are a superstar now, and you should come to a private restaurant for dinner." Principal Seibot warmly invited again.

   "Thank you principal, but I hope to bring my good buddy Howard with me." Xiang Nan smiled slightly.

   "OK, no problem, as you wish." Principal Seibert agreed.

   Howard saw that Xiang Nan was good and didn't forget himself, and he was even happier.

  When I came to the private restaurant, I saw that it was really different from the cafeteria. The decoration is luxurious, the food is rich, and the tableware is exquisite, which is completely at the level of a top restaurant.

   And the most important thing is that this is actually a buffet, and the price is cheap as hell. Lobster, matsutake, caviar, and all you can eat for $10.

   "Damn, this is the first time I know that the school has a private restaurant, and their life is really luxurious." Howard watched all this, and couldn't help complaining to Xiang Nan.

   "Shh, don't say that." Xiang Nan reminded speechlessly.

  The dean of the physics department and the principal of the school are all around, so if you complain about them now, isn’t it sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger?

   After the four of you pick up your meal, find a seat and sit down.

   "Rajesh, your discovery is really amazing, it can almost be included in the top ten breakthroughs in physics of the year." Principal Seibert praised.

   "Thank you principal." Xiang Nan nodded.

   "The school is going to use this to make a big publicity and strive for more financial support." Principal Seibert said again, "I hope to get your cooperation."

  Scientific research is extremely expensive. Like Sheldon's string theory, if it wants to be verified, it will cost at least half a billion dollars.

   Relying on the tuition fees of students alone will not last long. Therefore, seeking outside donations has become the only way for colleges and universities to raise funds. In 2017, Harvard University received an endowment of 38 billion U.S. dollars.

   American universities are scattered all over the world, and there are many top world famous schools, such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton and so on.

  Although Caltech is also a top-tier institution with strong scientific research strength, its reputation is not top-notch. Therefore, the annual fundraising amount is not comparable to that of star schools such as Harvard and Yale.

   How to improve the reputation of the school and how to attract investment from the outside world have become the most worrying things for Principal Seibert.

   While sleepiness comes there are pillows. Xiang Nan's discovery of a habitable planet has received widespread media attention. If you seize the opportunity and publicize it well, at least billions of donations can be brought in.

  That's why Principal Seibert flattered Xiang Nan so enthusiastically.

   "Don't worry, principal. I am a member of Caltech, and I am happy to contribute to the school." Xiang Nan agreed.

  Hearing what he said, Principal Seibert smiled even more happily.

   I didn't expect Xiang Nan to be so easy-going, he was not at all like those nerds, he was so knowledgeable that he was stupid.

   "Very good, I will help you arrange a magazine interview later, I hope you can help the school to do a good job of publicity." Principal Seibert said again.

   "Definitely." Xiang Nan nodded, "But I haven't been interviewed before, so I don't know how to speak. Can you give me a copy of the speech, I'll take a look first."

   "No problem. But during the interview." Principal Seibert agreed, but then reminded, "Remember not to read from the script."

   It is okay to start the manuscript, but if you read it according to the manuscript, the meaning of the interview will be lost.

   "I understand." Xiang Nan nodded.

  …

   After the meal, a reporter did an exclusive interview.

  Inquired about Xiang Nan’s experience in growing up, studying and scientific research, and the most important thing was the process of discovering the TOI700d planet.

  Xiang Nan had read the speech just now, so when he was interviewed, he knew it well. He talked eloquently at the moment and answered with ease.

  The whole visit process can be said to be very pleasant.

  After the interview, the magazine also took a photo of Xiang Nan, which was done by a professional photographer.

   I have to say that a professional is a professional, and there are indeed two brushes. The photos taken are much better than Xiang Nan's selfie.

  People are more handsome and temperamental, just like Hollywood stars.

  After accepting the exclusive interview from the magazine, the task was successfully completed, and Principal Seibert was very satisfied.

   "Rajesh, this is the VIP card for the private restaurant. From now on, you can come here to eat, and you can bring up to two people." Principal Seibot handed over a card and said.

   "Thank you." Xiang Nan took the card with a smile.

  The private restaurant has luxurious decoration, exquisite food, and elegant environment. It is really enjoyable to eat here. He and Howard could come and eat every day.

   "In addition, the school is planning to hire an assistant for you, what do you think?" Principal Seibert asked again with a smile.

   "Thank you very much for your kindness." Xiang Nan nodded immediately upon hearing this.

  After having an assistant, he can hand over some trivial tasks, such as collecting information, organizing files, scheduling, running errands, etc., to TA, which saves time and energy.

  If it is a beautiful female assistant, then she will fall in love with each other for a long time, and maybe she can become a marriage partner. What's more, there is a school to help pay for it, so why not do it.

  …

  Subsequently, Xiang Nan's recruitment notice for assistants was released by the school, and immediately attracted a large number of applicants.

  One, the salary of the assistant is relatively generous, with an annual salary of 70,000 US dollars, which is quite attractive to young people.

  Secondly, as an assistant to a well-known professor, you can participate in the professor's research, which is of great benefit to improving your professional level. Moreover, as the professor's personal assistant, he is responsible for helping him with daily chores, and because of this, he will meet many important people and expand his network.

  Xiang Nan has published three influential papers in less than two months, and also independently discovered a habitable planet, so he has become famous and very popular in today's academic circles.

   If you follow him, you will naturally have a bright future, so there are a lot of applicants at once, and your resume almost fills his e-mail box.

  The job of applying for an assistant will start tomorrow and continue one after another.

   "Dude, you are so developed now that you even have an assistant." Howard said enviously, "Even if I only apply to the school for a pen, it will ask me to take pliers to the bank to grab it."

   "Howard, don't worry, there will be bread and milk." Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile, "When our quantum navigation system test is successful, we will not only have assistants, but even servants will be on hand."

   "Yeah." Hearing what he said, Howard nodded vigorously.

   Once the quantum navigation system is successfully developed and put into commercial use, it will have an output value of tens of billions or hundreds of billions. At that time, they will be able to earn a lot of money just by collecting patent fees.
