Chapter 382

No matter how long the time in the United States was, Qianyi finally managed to walk step by step.

But at this moment, her legs were trembling and she pushed the door out of the conference room where the doctor was defending. It felt like walking through the door of time, and at the other end was her home in City A.

Dr. Karl, who came out one step ahead, stepped forward and gave Qian Yi a big hug in the corridor: "Eline, you performed perfectly today, I want to congratulate you in advance!"

"Really?" Qianyi's back was covered with sweat at the moment. To be honest, she had passively and selectively lost her memory of how she behaved in the meeting room just now.

"Eline, your insights on the treatment of children with autism are novel and your arguments are sufficiently objective. This time there is absolutely no problem!" Colleague John stepped forward and hugged Qianyi as well.

Qianyi blinked her eyes for a long time, but she was still not very confident: "Can I pass my defense?"

"Ha, since you are allowed to defend, unless you run away or behave too badly, of course you will pass!" John smiled and directly revealed his old self: "Trust me, who has experience, although I have defended twice before .”

Facing John's self-deprecating spirit, Qian Yi was a little bit dumbfounded, and she simply expressed emotion: "You don't know, when I left the stage just now, when I was the last one to come out, I only had one thought in my mind, even if I failed this defense, I will not continue to endure it." Now, I want to die for Bright, a doctorate is not as important as my son."

"No, no, Eline, don't give up at any time," Dr. Karl shook his finger and said with a smile: "Also, believe old Karl, my students are the best."

"I don't know when the defense committee will come out with a result?" Qian Yi muttered, looking back at the closed meeting room door behind her, the female defense chair just now asked her to go out to wait for the news, her expression was too serious Or, to be more precise, it was expressionless, so that Qianyi was still uneasy up to now, basically lacking confidence.

Dr. Karl stepped forward at this time, patted Qianyi on the back, and led her to stand in front of a window: "Eline, take it easy, we will wait with you."

Qian Yi kept stroking her chest: "My heart beats so fast, I'm even more nervous than when I went in to defend myself just now, Karl, I'm really afraid of embarrassing you."

"Silly girl, you are my first student from China, and I am even more proud." Dr. Karl was still encouraging her.

"Qianyi!" A man's voice came from not far away.

At this time, when she heard someone speaking Chinese, she was still calling her by her Chinese name, Qian Yi immediately turned around, and unexpectedly found that it was actually Nian Qingzhou who called her.

"Qing Zhou, why are you here?" Qian Yi couldn't help laughing happily, almost running forward.

Nian Qingzhou hugged Qian Yi: "I went to the University of Washington to participate in a project seminar, and I heard that you have a thesis defense today, so I came to listen."

"Well... You went in, how do you think I behave?" Qianyi eagerly wanted to hear her friend's opinion.

"Didn't old Karl say, it's perfect." Nian Qingzhou looked at Qian Yi with a smile, and then looked behind her.

Qian Yi turned her head and saw Dr. Karl spread his hands towards her, shrugged his shoulders again, and naturally understood what he meant. Dr. Karl meant that it was similar to what Nian Qingzhou hero saw.

"By the way, is your wife here too? How about we have a drink tonight? My treat." Qian Yi smiled.

"I'm afraid not, I don't think you will have time then," Nian Qingzhou shook his head: "Janet didn't come over either, and even if she came, she wouldn't be able to drink."

Qian Yi didn't understand the meaning of the first half of Nian Qingzhou's sentence, but she immediately understood the meaning of the latter sentence, her eyes sparkled, and she immediately asked, "If I guess correctly, Qingzhou, are you going to be a father?"

"You guessed right." Nian Qingzhou's lips curled up at this moment.

"Oh my God!" Qian Yi grabbed Nian Qingzhou's arm and shook it, shouting, "That's great, Qingzhou, you will definitely be the best dad in the world in the future."

Probably because Qian Yi's voice was a little louder, everyone in the corridor turned their heads to look at them. For a moment, Nian Qingzhou was a little embarrassed, and reminded Qian Yi in a low voice: "That...don't be so excited."

"That's right," Qian Yi covered her mouth with her hand, laughed for a while, and nodded Nian Qingzhou: "You are too calm to be so happy."

Nian Qingzhou scratched the back of his head: "The main reason is that the happiest time has passed, and now we are all looking forward to the birth of the child. Okay, let's not talk about this, have you decided when to return to China?"

"I can't wait to leave right away." Qianyi was in a great mood now, turned to look at Dr. Karl, and then said to Nian Qingzhou: "I just said that even if this defense fails, I won't do it anymore." , Hurry up and go home to accompany my son, it’s too tortured, you know, for this doctorate, I spent seven years from head to toe, and if I drag it on, I’m going crazy!"

Nian Qingzhou laughed: "Mother? When did you become so tough?"

"If I'm not tough, I'll be depressed. It's no wonder that many boys in the institute are bald at a young age. It's really tormenting!" Qian Yi sighed.

"You will succeed in your defense. I have listened to a lot just now. Although I don't know much about it professionally, you were very generous on the spot and your thinking was very clear. You basically didn't get asked," said the young man. Qingzhou glanced at the door of the meeting room: "If I were a member of the defense committee, I would definitely vote for you."

"Excuse me," Qian Yi also glanced at Nian Qingzhou's line of sight, but then quickly withdrew her gaze: "This ups and downs, I'm really flustered!"

Nian Qingzhou couldn't help laughing: "Actually, when I was waiting for the result of the defense, I was as nervous as you are now, but I was still young at the time, and I thought in my heart, I can't do it, I will do it again."

"That's why you should study early. No matter what you do, whether it's studies, career or family, you have to do it early." Qian Yi suddenly felt a little emotional: "Thinking about it now, it seems that a lot of time was wasted before, so now, it's time to go to school." I will chase and chase desperately, with my old arms and legs, speaking of it, I never thought that I would be able to persist until now."

Nian Qingzhou gave Qian Yi a meaningful look, and then casually glanced somewhere outside the corridor.

"By the way, last time Xue Fu called me and said that Dr. He's condition is quite stable now?" Qian Yi remembered that she hadn't asked Nian Qingzhou about his mother yet.

"It's okay, we're all doing our best." When Nian Qingzhou mentioned his mother, he couldn't help showing a trace of disappointment in his expression: "My mother is also very strong. She said that she will definitely wait until my child is born."

Qian Yi was a little silent. It could be seen that after almost a year, Nian Qingzhou's eyes had lost the brightness of the past, as if that bright and energetic Nian Qingzhou had gone somewhere.

"Eline, the time is almost here, and the result will be known soon." Dr. Karl looked at his watch and walked over.

Qian Yi's heart was "pounding" again, her eyes were fixed on the door of the meeting room, she was looking forward to it opening soon, but she also hoped that it would not be so early. She had a feeling that if she was notified that she failed the defense, she would definitely directly Passed out.

"Qian Yi, believe in yourself." Nian Qingzhou said behind Qian Yi: "We can all see your efforts."

"Okay!" Qian Yi took a deep breath: "For Xiaoyi, I want to be the best Qian Yi." Then she suddenly stuck out her tongue at everyone and said with a smile: "Excuse me, let's go to the bathroom first. "

"Eline Chan." The door of the conference room finally opened under the gaze of everyone, and someone came out and called Qianyi's English name.

Qian Yi, who just came back from the bathroom, immediately felt that her footsteps were too heavy to lift, until Dr. Karl pushed her from behind: "Qian Yi, go in!"

Biting her lip, Qian Yi finally stepped into the conference room.

At this moment in the conference room, everyone's eyes fell on Qian Yi who had just walked inside.

Silently saying "I am the best", Qian Yi tried her best to look calm and smiled at everyone.

The chairman of the defense, who was sitting on the main seat, stood up slowly at this moment.

Qian Yi couldn't help trying to get some clues from the other party's body language and expression, but she still had a serious face, and picked up a folder on the table calmly.

Before coming in to defend, Dr. Karl once boasted that the chairman of the defense this time is his classmate, and this lady even pursued Dr. Karl when she was young. The implication is that with his old Karl, Qianyi will definitely be able to Pass the defense.

However, Qian Yi has long heard that this international expert in child psychology has always been known for his seriousness and harshness. Some people who failed in the defense before complained that they were inexplicably defeated by this lady. I don't feel confident at all.

But now, Qian Yi's mood of waiting for the other party to announce the result is tantamount to waiting for the verdict.

"Eline Chan," the chairman of the defense looked at the folder in his hand, raised his head after a long time, and actually smiled: "Congratulations, your defense...is qualified."

Under Qian Yi's dazed gaze, the chairman of the defense stepped forward and shook hands with her, and then all the defense committee members came over to express their congratulations, and then they left.

Qianyi mechanically shook hands with everyone, and said thanks mechanically, until a fat old man came over and hugged Qianyi into his arms: "Eline, as I said, you are the pride of old Karl!" Qian Yi finally reacted.

At some point, many people rushed in, all of Qianyi's classmates and friends came to express congratulations. Suddenly there was a "thump" in the conference room, and Qianyi was startled. It turned out that John opened a bottle of champagne.

"Oh, my God, you are all ready!" Qian Yi didn't control her emotions well and cried on the spot, she was really touched by the surprise everyone brought her.

Nian Qingzhou also stepped forward, hugged Qianyi again, and then handed over a pack of tissues: "Cry, think about it, you won't have to suffer anymore, why don't you hurry up and cry?"
