Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 24 24【Put on the donkey's hooves】

  After dinner, Xiang Nan returned to the office, then picked up the phone and called Penny.

   "Haney, after my thesis was published, it caused a sensation in the industry. I'll buy a bottle of champagne tonight, let's celebrate together?" He said with a smile.

   "Oh, this is really a good omen. I just have an audition this afternoon, and this bottle of champagne may be prepared for the two of us." Penny said in surprise.

  She believes in psychics, voodoo, astrology, and pyramids. She thinks that the champagne mentioned by Xiang Nan is a very good omen for her audition in the afternoon.

   "Of course, you are right." Xiang Nan smiled, "I wish you a smooth audition, and we will celebrate together tonight."

  …

  In the afternoon, Xiang Nan continued to co-write "Using the Density of Celestial Objects in the Kuiper Belt to Confine Its Elemental Composition and Formation History" with Dr. Gablehouse.

  Of course, Xiang Nan is still the main author of this paper, and Gablehouse is only helping to collect information and playing a supporting role.

   However, when the paper is published, he will still be crowned as the second author.

   And this influential paper is quite useful for improving his status in the academic world, enhancing his prestige among students, and keeping his position as the head of the department.

   "Rajesh, given your contributions in astrophysics, I think you need a bigger office." Gablehouse said with a smile.

   "Thank you, you are so generous." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

   "How's von Getur's office?" Gablehaus asked.

   "Well, it's Fishbin's office, it's bigger." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "OK, everything is as you wish." Gablehouse readily agreed.

  …

  That afternoon, the school logistics staff helped Xiang Nan move his office from a small office in a dark corner on the first floor to a spacious and bright office on the second floor.

   "Wow, your office is bigger than my laboratory." Howard said enviously, he doesn't even have his own office, his working place is the laboratory.

   "Don't be envious. Once our quantum navigation system is completed, let alone such a small office, it will be fine even if we buy the school." Xiang Nan laughed.

  Howard nodded, "Leslie predicts that our verification experiment can be carried out as early as early next year."

   "Very good." Xiang Nan smiled with satisfaction.

   Now it is more than two months away from next year, fame and fortune are close at hand.

   "By the way, I may have to go for a while tonight. I have a date with Penny." He explained again.

   "Oh, buddy, I really envy you." Howard said with envy when he heard it.

  Xiang Nan has been dating Penny for a month, and his longest relationship did not exceed a week.

   "Howie, you will find your own happiness sooner or later." Xiang Nan patted Howard on the shoulder and said.

  In the play, his life is the most perfect. His wife is beautiful and capable, he has both children and a big house, which is much better than the single dog Raj who has been single for thousands of years.

  …

  After get off work, Xiang Nan stopped working on the quantum navigation system with Howard and Leslie, but drove to the Costco supermarket.

  He bought champagne, steaks, desserts, etc., and even specially bought garlands and ribbons to help Penny celebrate her successful audition.

  To be honest, Penny's acting career is not smooth, even worse than Joey in "Friends".

  Joy can at least perform in a small theater, and if he is lucky, he can also shoot a TV series, or make a guest appearance in a certain movie.

  But Penny can’t do it. She rarely even receives performances in small theaters, let alone appearing in TV series or movies.

  So if this audition is successful, Xiang Nan is quite happy for her.

   After purchasing, he rushed home to prepare for the evening celebration.

  Fried steaks, iced champagne, made desserts, pulled ribbons... everything was done in an orderly manner.

  About half past seven, there was a knock on the door.

  Xiang Nan hurried over to open the door. After seeing Penny through the peephole, he picked up the garland placed at the door.

  After opening the door, he will ring the garland.

   There was a bang, and colorful colored paper was flying all over the sky, very beautiful.

   "Congratulations, Hani!" Xiang Nan cheered loudly.

  But when Penny saw this scene, she burst into tears.

  Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that she probably failed the audition. And when he celebrated her so much, it was clearly a flattery, and it was shot on the horse's hoof.

  After realizing this, he immediately put the latte art aside, and then stepped forward to hug Penny, "I'm sorry, Hani, don't be sad, and I'm still here."

  Penny hugged him and cried even harder.

  Xiang Nan then supported her and sat on the sofa in the living room.

   "Tell me all about what's going on. Tell me, and you'll feel better." He asked softly.

"I skipped work today to audition, but I didn't pass the audition, and my salary was lost." Penny cried, "The worst thing is, the audition director scolded me, saying that I have no acting skills at all, and I am not beautiful. , not even a vase."

   "Nonsense, he is jealous of you, don't listen to him." Xiang Nan quickly comforted, "If you are not beautiful, how could my colleagues be so jealous of me."

"But, can I really be a good actress? I've been in Hollywood for so long, and I'm still penniless, and I'm not even qualified to shoot commercials." Penny cried, "If it's not that I'm too ugly, or my acting skills are bad, What could be the reason?"

   "Haney, you don't need to be so sad. Although you are not suitable to be an actor, you still have a lot of ways to go." Xiang Nan persuaded.

  In the play, Penny is not a star star, she only made two bad movies, and one commercial for hemorrhoid cream.

  This made her often unable to make ends meet, and often had to go to Leonard's house to spend meals, surf the Internet, and grab cable TV. But after she transformed into a drug salesman, she was like a fish in water, her career was booming, and her income was even twice that of Leonard.

  So she was an actress, really entered the wrong line.

   "What do you mean, you also think I'm ugly and my acting skills are bad, so you don't want to support me as a star?" Penny frowned, staring at Xiang Nan and said.

   "Of course not! I just think that with your beauty, it may be easier to achieve results in other jobs." Xiang Nan waved his hand and explained.

   "That is to say, do you think my acting career has failed?" Penny became even angrier when she heard that.

   "I...I..." Xiang Nan said so many mistakes, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

   "Forget it, bring the wine!" Penny said angrily.

  Xiang Nan quickly opened the iced champagne and brought it along with the glass.

   "Drink with me!" But Penny snatched the bottle directly, and started blowing at the bottle.

  The two soon got drunk. The previous quarrel seemed to disappear as well.
