After a hard night's sleep on the rumbling plane and a wash, the passengers were compensated for a Western meal.

Western food is quite authentic, with two appetizers, two soups and two main courses to choose from, and although the portions are not much, after the flight attendants spread white tablecloths and hand out shiny metal cutlery, they are still presentable.

Yang Rui held a short-handled dinner knife in his hand, slightly surprised, in his impression, let alone metal knives on the plane, screwdrivers and other items could not be brought, but he didn't expect the current plane to be so open.

Song Wenhao didn't sleep well, with black bags under his eyes, he first asked the stewardess for a glass ......of red wine to drink, and then looked at Yang Rui as if he was in a daze, smiled, and asked: "Haven't you eaten Western food?"

Song Wenhao is a good teacher, but Yang Rui is not good at learning, so he followed the comparison for a while. However, Chinese Western food, the unification of the Communist Party is just a few steps, there is no elementary school student's experiment complicated, Song Wenhao said a few words, there is nothing to say.

"It's not even there yet, and everyone sitting is sleepy. Yang Rui quickly ended this conversation, and by the way, he fed the small amount of food to his mouth, which seemed to taste better now than the plane meal he remembered.

Song Wenhao nodded yes, and said casually: "It is estimated that it is almost there, I don't know where the delegation will set the hotel this time, if it is too far, it will be hard." ”

"It's usually in front of the venue. Yang Rui is talking about the previous concept. When he followed his mentor to attend some conferences in China, it was natural for him to book a room nearby.

Song Wenhao smiled bitterly: "We are short of funds, if the above feels that the money is not enough, then we can only find a way to save money, I heard people who came last year say that they live in the suburbs, and they take a car for three hours every day, and they come back for another three or four hours, and they suffer a lot." ”

Yang Rui was concerned: "I can sit for three hours, and let the sixty or seventy-year-old professors also sit in the car for six or seven hours a day? ”

"Who said no, there are a few lucky people, the organizing committee has arranged a place nearby, like us, there is no choice, hey...... I'd rather they save money on food. ”

"It is estimated that the cost of food is not high. Yang Rui is also a little worried, the hotel is far away, and this is really difficult to change.

At noon, the plane slowly landed.

Everyone lowered their watches under the guidance of the flight attendants, and then got off the plane in a neat line.

The team leader was like a bald eagle, staring at everyone with vigilant eyes, and kept chanting: "Pay attention to the international influence, arrange the team neatly, and don't let foreign friends see jokes." ”

Yang Rui didn't have a choice, he stood in line and walked out of the queue in an orderly manner, and then walked through the airport hall like a circus monkey in the discussion, smile and surprise of international friends.

A rare experience indeed.

Comrade Song Wenhao was also a little unhappy, so he could only comfort himself: "At least a suit for nothing, isn't it? If it weren't for the international friends to see the unity and friendship of our people, how could it be possible for you to get a suit with such a good fabric for nothing." ”

Yang Rui looked down at the blue suit on his body, to tell the truth, this suit looks pretty good in China, because the men are gray colors, and the blue is both bright and atmospheric.

However, standing at the New York airport, a group of people in neat blue suits look a little stupid.

At most, domestic tailors have just reached the level of being able to make suits, and they have not yet been able to control a fashion team, not to mention, there are still old and young in this team, with different shapes and different temperaments......

"Don't speak. The team leader glanced back with a solemn face, lowered his voice, and said, "Obey my command, one-two-one, one-two-one...... Left and right, left and right, left and right, left and right, ......"

Everyone habitually adjusted their left and right legs, and after a while, they made a neat sound of "dong dong", which was full of momentum and attracted the attention of more international friends.

Yang Rui could only follow the left and right, left and right, and thought: It should be regarded as a dedication to science and beep the golden monkey......

After taking the luggage, the space in the hall was somewhat incapable of "one-two-one" skills, and the team leader stopped emphasizing the formation at this time, let everyone gather over, and began to distribute the hotel: "As we all know, New York is an international metropolis, and the price is very expensive. One is called Sofitel and this hotel is 10 km from the venue, about 15 minutes by car......"

Everyone cheered involuntarily, and it seemed that not only Comrade Song Wenhao was worried.

The team leader waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, the Sofitel Hotel is provided by the organizing committee, they only provided us with a total of 8 affordable rooms, after our struggle, a total of 10 rooms were obtained, which can accommodate 20 people, and after a while, the person I called the name will stay in the Sofitel Hotel." ”

"What is the standard for staying in this hotel?" someone immediately asked, and everyone knew that the other hotel must not be as good as this one.

The team leader said with a wooden face: "The standard is decided by the organizing committee of the conference, according to the list of people who participated in the opening ceremony on the first day, that is, the first report meeting, a total of 16 people from our side will participate in this report meeting, and these 16 people live in the room provided by the organizing committee, and the cost is also borne by the organizing committee of the conference." We got two extra rooms, I thought so, we arranged for four people, but these two rooms were to be used as additional transit, that is, those of us who came from another hotel would go to these two rooms to rest. I will now read the list of sixteen people first, and after reading it, among the remaining people, those who are willing to live in these two rooms will raise their hands again, well, the first, Professor Zhang Dayong, and the second, Professor Liu Huafeng...... The professor, who had been called by name, stood to my left. ”

The team was scattered for a while, and then it was divided into two groups, one large and one small, and the team leader read it one by one, until the last one, and said, "Yang Rui...... Schoolmate. ”

The difference in title alone is eye-catching enough.

Dozens of people in a group all looked at Yang Rui in unison.

The team leader hurriedly said before anyone questioned it: "This standard is not set by us, it is a decision made by the organizing committee of the United States, because the number of people in our group is overnumbered, so we can only invite 16 people to come out and participate in the first report meeting." ”

"It's just that our level of leisure is not enough. Naturally, someone said something weird.

The team leader coughed and pretended not to hear.

A large group of people, looking at a small group of people, most of them are middle-aged and elderly scholars, no matter what the level is, the qualifications are not weak, the only exception is Yang Rui's "classmates".

Compared with others, Yang Rui's power in the academic world is weaker, he does not concurrently hold any position in the national power organization, he is not even a real state cadre, except for a laboratory, Yang Rui does not have much power under his hands, and his accumulation in the academic community is far from affecting the ability of anyone present.

So, someone shouted out without hesitation: "I don't care about others, how did this Yang Rui get into the organizing committee?"

"Professor Hu, let's keep our voices quiet and pay attention to international influence. The team leader repeated the key points, and did not answer the question directly, but looked at Yang Rui.

For him, it is obviously not cost-effective to block the thunder for Yang Rui.

Yang Rui also expected this, and after thinking about attacking and retreating for two seconds, he chose the former, and said: "I guess there may be two reasons." ”

"Oh, two more points?" Professor Hu saw that Yang Rui was explaining rather than being humble, and his expression was very impatient. He is 60 years old, and he has to bump around with the car, which is extremely unwilling, and watching scholars younger than him get better treatment is even more unbalanced.

For others, Professor Hu is not good at offending in person, but for Yang Rui, Professor Hu doesn't care. He is about to retire in the blink of an eye, and this time he came out, because he has more benefits than work, and he is not worried about what Yang Rui can do to him.

Yang Rui was very familiar with this situation, and said calmly: "The first point may be that the paper I sent to the organizing committee has played a role, and the other party thinks it is valuable, so I will be shortlisted." ”

Academic conferences are not like the Olympics, not the bigger the better, for example, in theoretical physics, a world-wide event is often the size of thirty or fifty people. The number of scholars in biology is very large, perhaps hundreds or thousands of times that of theoretical physics, but the scale will not be expanded indefinitely, especially for each report meeting, the organizing committee will not build a large lecture hall in order to have more people enter the competition.

Normal academic conferences tend to rent as many lecture halls as they can cramm, but there is no limit to the number of scholars who are willing to sign up.

In other words, if an international conference on biology can have 3,000 participants, but the lecture hall can be filled with 300 people, then the organizing committee will select 300 people and invite them to participate in the first report meeting - as for the second, third, and fourth lectures, the organizing committee will not care, it is a first-come, first-served state.

This situation is usually due to the fact that the organizing committees of various international conferences are very poor, and everyone cannot make a grand opening ceremony. On the other hand, it is not necessary, the academic report, there are one or two hundred people to listen, even if it is widely advertised, anyway, before the report meeting, everyone will get a copy of the report first, and go home to study, it is the same, the on-site participation in the meeting, is nothing more than an opportunity to question face-to-face, if the academic level is not enough, this opportunity to get is meaningless.

Secondly, in addition to the first report meeting, the subsequent reports will be carried out one after another and even side by side, just like the "International Congress of Medical and Biological Engineering" that Yang Rui once attended, only a few people are qualified to do the high-profile one-field report, just like a news broadcast, other reports will be equivalent to competing with each other, the organizing committee will make a super large lecture hall, which is useless except for the opening ceremony, which is a great waste for poor scholars.

However, being able to participate in the first lecture still shows the status of a scholar very well.

Therefore, everyone refers to participating in the first presentation meeting as a finalist.

Yang Rui was shortlisted to prove his status, so he was at ease.

Professor Hu's face was ugly, he felt sarcastic, and couldn't help but say: "Talking to yourself, the other party thinks you are valuable, and your paper is all selling and boasting." ”

That's the second point I made. Yang Rui was indeed sarcastic at this time, his voice was soft, and he said slightly soothingly: "After all, I published a cell, and the organizing committee probably thinks that I am still worthy of praise for publishing such a paper." Professor Hu, what do you think?"

Of course, it is impossible for Professor Hu to publish cell, with his age and qualifications, if he has published cell, or a paper of a comparable level, not to mention being shortlisted for an international conference, he will have to top three or five senior titles in China, and he will not be able to get an academician if he can't get it.

In fact, Professor Hu has done the most in recent years, not to mention publishing cell, and then writing his name on his papers.

It is naturally easy to earn the labor of young scholars, but the level of young scholars is often lacking, and most of the scholars who can publish high-level papers are not young and will not work for them. Professor Hu does not write papers himself, and only relies on the young people under his command, which naturally lacks achievements.

Yang Rui's words almost stabbed Professor Hu's sore spot, making his expression angry.

In front of many scholars, Professor Hu only felt that he had been humiliated, his face turned red, and the first thing he thought of was to rush up and beat people.

The team leader was frightened, and he also understood Yang Rui's character, he first went up with an arrow, stopped Professor Hu, persuaded him, and said to the others: "You guys get in the car first, get in the car." ”

"You let go of me, I'm going to kill this kid, Cell is amazing, Cell is amazing. Professor Hu's voice was like a bell, showing a healthy body.

Yang Rui sighed, but stood still, looked around, and said in front of many scholars: "I have to reply to this, otherwise I will be sorry for our colleagues in the laboratory." Publishing Cell was actually quite remarkable, and we raised almost $600,000 in funding, so you can imagine how difficult it was. In the last six months, under tremendous pressure, competing with laboratories including the University of California, Berkeley, and finally solving the problem of 'how to determine the functionality of potassium ion channels', we have worked very hard, and my colleagues, Huang Ren, Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun and Wei Zhenxue, have all made great efforts, and our results are the best universities in the United States, and the results have not been achieved with several times the funds, which I think is very remarkable. ”

Yang Rui's tone was flat, but the content was full and enthusiastic.

The scholars, who have been immersed in the academic world all their lives, smacked Yang Rui's words in their minds, and they were all speechless.

The team leader stubbornly pulled Professor Hu, whose eyes were red, and kept repeating: "Pay attention to international influence, pay attention to international influence......"
