save the bachelors

Chapter 24 24

After eating, Xiang Nan returned to the office, then picked up the phone and dialed Penny.

"Haney, after my paper was published, it caused a stir in the industry. I'll buy a bottle of champagne tonight, shall we celebrate?" he said with a smile.

"Oh, that's a really good sign. I'm just going to audition this afternoon, maybe this bottle of champagne is for the two of us." Penny said in surprise.

She believed in psychics, voodoo, astrology, and pyramids, and she thought the champagne mentioned by Xiang Nan was a very good omen for her afternoon audition.

"Of course, you're right." Xiang Nan smiled, "I wish you a successful audition, we will celebrate together tonight."

……

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

Of course, this paper is still written by Xiang Nan, and Gablehouse is only helping to collect information and play a supporting role.

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

And this influential paper is quite useful to enhance his status in academia, enhance his prestige among students, and keep his position as head of the department.

"Rajesh, I think you need a bigger office for your contribution to astrophysics," Gablehouse said with a smile.

"Thank you, you are really generous." Xiang Nan nodded.

"How's Von Gettur's office?" asked Gablehouse.

"Well, it's still Fishbin's office, that one is bigger." Xiang Nan smiled.

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

……

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

"Wow, your office is bigger than my laboratory." Howard said enviously, he didn't have his own office, his work place was the laboratory.

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

Howard nodded. "Leslie predicts that our verification experiment will be ready as early as early next year."

"Very good." Xiang Nan smiled with satisfaction.

Now it's just over two months away from next year, and fame and fortune are just around the corner.

"By the way, I may be walking for a while tonight. I have a date with Penny," he explained.

"Oh, man, I really envy you." Howard said jealously.

Xiang Nan has been dating Penny for a month, and his longest relationship didn't last more than a week.

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

In the play, his life is the most perfect.The wife is beautiful and capable, has both children, and has a big house, which is much better than the single dog Raj.

……

After get off work, Xiang Nan did not study the quantum navigation system with Howard and Leslie, but drove to Costco.

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

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

At least Joey can still perform in a small theater, and if he is lucky, he can also make a TV series, or make a cameo in a certain movie.

But Penny can't. She seldom even gets a small theater performance, let alone a TV series or movie.

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

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

Frying steak, iced champagne, making desserts, pulling ribbons... everything is well done.

At about 07:30, there was a knock on the door.

Xiang Nan hurried over to open the door. After seeing Penny through the cat's eyes, he picked up the latte at the door.

After opening the door, he will pull the pull flower.

There was a bang, and colorful colored papers were 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 stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that she probably failed the audition.And if he celebrates for her, it's clearly not flattering, and it's on the horse's hoof.

After realizing this, he immediately threw the lahua aside, then stepped forward and hugged Penny, "I'm sorry, Honey, don't be sad, and me."

Penny held him, crying even more sadly.

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

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

"I skipped work today to audition, but I failed the audition and lost my salary." Penny cried, "The worst part is that the audition director also 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 can my colleagues be so jealous of me."

"But, can I really be a good actor? I've been in Hollywood for so long, and I'm still worthless, and I'm not even qualified to shoot commercials." Penny cried, "If it wasn't for me being too ugly and my acting skills were not good, What could be the reason?"

"Hani, you don't need to be so sad, although you are not suitable to be an actor, but you still have many ways out." Xiang Nan advised.

In the play, Penny is not very good as a star, and has only made two bad films and an advertisement for hemorrhoid cream.

This makes her often unable to make ends meet, and often has to go to Leonard's house to eat, surf the Internet, and surf cable TV.But after she switched to drug sales, she was like a duck to water, her career was booming, and her income was even twice that of Leonard.

Therefore, she is really in the wrong profession as an actress.

"What do you mean, you also think that I'm ugly and bad acting, 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 get results in other jobs." Xiang Nan waved his hand and explained.

"In other words, do you think my acting career is not successful?" Penny said angrily when she heard this.

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

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

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

"Drink with me!" Penny grabbed the bottle and blew at it.

The two soon became very drunk.The previous quarrel seems to have come to nothing.
