38 [Meet the old knowledge in a foreign land]
Howard got off to a bad start, but he didn't give up and continued to pester Peggy.
"What about singing, dancing, playing games, watching movies..." He suggested again and again, but what he always got back was "No, no, no!" and his tone became more and more firm and impatient.
Seeing that Peggy's favorability towards Howard had dropped from neutral to cold, and then from cold to disgust, Howard didn't realize it.
Xiang Nan couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Howie, that's enough. We're going to start working. You'd better leave first."
"You want to drive me away, are you trying to get away again?" After hearing what he said, Howard immediately came over and whispered in his ear in a low voice.
"Running away your sister!" Xiang Nan rolled his eyes at him, "Don't you notice that my attitude is getting colder and colder? If you are so ignorant and continue to pester me, you will be included in the 'Rejected Households'
.
I am helping you, do you understand or not?"
Howard was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Peggy, and saw that the look in her eyes was indeed full of rejection and disgust, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He often suffers from sensory imbalance when it comes to chasing girls. Although they are obviously very annoying, he doesn't feel it at all and thinks that they are already deeply fascinated by him.
This was one of the reasons why he often failed to pick up girls.
"Okay, I'll go first." Howard was awakened by Xiang Nan and finally stopped insisting.
He waved to Peggy, "Goodbye, madam." and then walked out.
"Sorry, Peggy." Xiang Nan apologized on his behalf, "Actually, Howie is not a bad person. He has just been single for too long, so he is too enthusiastic about girls."
"Yeah." Peggy nodded, "It doesn't matter, let's start working."
"Don't rush the work." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I will help you go through the onboarding procedures first. After the working relationship is formally established, we will start working."
Although Peggy is his assistant, she is hired at the school's expense, so she also needs to sign a contract, and also needs to apply for some certificates, access cards, etc.
"Okay." Peggy nodded.
…
Xiang Nan then took Peggy to the office building and accompanied her through various procedures.
Wherever they went, all the men, and even some women, invariably paid attention to them.
Of course, everyone's attention is mostly focused on Peggy, Xiang Nan is just a dispensable side dish.
However, seeing him accompanying a beautiful woman still earned him a lot of jealous looks.
After completing a series of procedures and seeing that there was still some time, Xiang Nan was ready to take Peggy around.
As an assistant, you must run errands, so it's good to get familiar with the environment now. Moreover, Xiang Nan also enjoys the feeling of being jealous.
"This building is the biology building, that building is the chemistry building, our physics department and the geology department share the same building, the first and second floors are the physics department, the third and fourth floors are the geology department, and the corner of the first floor is the physics laboratory...
Xiang Nan introduced them one by one.
Peggy listened and memorized it and quickly memorized it.
After walking around, it was already noon. Xiang Nan took Peggy to the cafeteria to eat and introduce some friends to her.
Needless to say, the two came to the cafeteria and once again caused a sensation.
The uncle in charge of serving food, seeing how beautiful Peggy was, gave her free biscuits.
This is a treatment that Xiang Nan and others have never enjoyed.
"Peggy, let me introduce to you, this is Dr. Leslie Winkle, experimental physicist." Xiang Nan introduced with a smile, "Leslie, this is my assistant Peggy Swann."
Sen."
"Hi~", "Hi~" the two girls said hello coolly.
At this time, Leonard and Howard came over together, "Hi~"
"This is Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, who is also an experimental physicist and is currently doing research on 'soft separation of cosmic radiation at sea level.'" Xiang Nan sighed, and then introduced,
"Howard Wolowitz, I need no introduction. Leonard, this is my assistant Peggy Swanson."
"Hi, Miss Swanson." Leonard greeted him restrainedly. In front of Peggy, he felt his heart beating fast.
"Hello, Dr. Hofstadter." Peggy smiled and greeted him lightly.
"Okay, let's sit down and eat." Xiang Nan greeted with a smile.
Peggy nodded and sat down with him.
Howard and Leonard saw this and quickly sat over with their meals.
…
As soon as the four of them sat down, Sheldon came over with food. When he saw Leonard sitting with Xiang Nan, he couldn't help but frown.
"Leonard, you should sit with me." He stared at Leonard and said seriously.
"Rui, Sheldon, you should understand." Leonard winked at Peggy.
Now that he could have dinner with such a beautiful woman, he didn't want to sit with Sheldon again.
Peggy heard what he said, but she looked at Sheldon doubtfully, and then suddenly asked, "You are Sheldon, Sheldon Cooper."
"Of course it's me." Sheldon said proudly.
"Sure enough, it's you." Seeing his response, Peggy immediately laughed.
"What, do you know each other?" Seeing their strange conversation, Xiang Nan couldn't help but asked in confusion.
Leonard and Howard both frowned, not understanding what was going on now.
"Have you forgotten me? I'm Peggy Swanson." Peggy stood up and said.
"Peggy?!" Sheldon looked at Peggy up and down, also a little surprised, "It's really you."
"Yeah, I didn't expect to see you here." Peggy said with emotion.
"I didn't expect it either." Sheldon nodded, "Okay, you can eat. Leonard, sit with me."
After that, he took the food and sat at another table.
Leonard rolled his eyes, really wanting to find out what was going on between Sheldon and her, so he immediately followed him with the food.
Seeing Sheldon being so indifferent to her, Peggy stood blankly on the spot with a disappointed expression.
"Peggy, don't worry about it. Since you know Sheldon, you should know that he doesn't have the emotions of ordinary people." Seeing this, Xiang Nan persuaded softly, "In our opinion, it is a great joy for old friends to reunite.
To him, it's of no importance. He didn't mean to neglect you, and you don't need to be angry because of it."
In the twelfth season of the show, Sheldon met his childhood friend Tan. The two had not seen each other for more than ten years. Logically speaking, they should be very excited to meet again. But Sheldon just called him.
Say hello and go about your own business.
Peggy heard what he said, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded.
