When she left the campus, Lin Dan was almost in a situation that thousands of people pointed out. When she came back again, everyone expressed their kindness to her, and their attitudes were very different. The counselor who always made things difficult for her took the initiative to take her to the laboratory to find a mentor, and repeatedly comforted her not to feel sad for the lost child.
Lin Dan smiled and nodded with a gentle attitude.
Half an hour later, the tutor finally finished the experiment and took her to the office to talk: "I got news that Harvard seems to want to cancel your admission qualification, but the official notice has not been issued yet, we can still think of a way."
"Why was my admission cancelled? Is it because I sold my research?"
"Yes, didn't you tell the other side that you would bring the research results over there? The side waited very anxiously, but they didn't expect you to turn around and sell it, so the hospital has a lot of opinions on you. I Knowing that it is not easy for you, if it wasn't for Wang Jun being dragged down, you would not have made this decision." The instructor couldn't help but sigh. For Wang Jun, his proud disciple really delayed himself completely!
"Then I'll go to the United States tomorrow to see the situation." Lin Dan pondered.
"That's what I mean, go early, don't delay. I heard that you have a good relationship with Zeng Zhenyuan? He has a very wide network in the United States and may be able to help you. Dr. Darren, the head of Harvard's Department of Biological Sciences, is very stubborn. And he has a very high authority in Harvard. He has sent a message to cancel your admission qualification. It is useless for the principal to persuade. If you want to find a breakthrough, it is best to put more effort on his head. Once he relaxes, Your studies are stable. But so far, he doesn't seem to have compromised with anyone." The tutor said worriedly.
"Mr. Zeng is very busy, so I'll find a way myself. What kind of person is Dr. Darren?" Lin Dan knew about Dr. Darren's achievements, but not his personality, so he naturally didn't know how to start.
"He's a hot-tempered, paranoid dictator." The tutor rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.
"What does he care about most?" Lin Dan continued to ask.
"He cares about research results the most, so you've made a big taboo for him."
"I see, I will find a way, don't worry, teacher."
Lin Dan quickly left the school and got on a plane to the United States the next day. Before she left, she sent two papers to Dr. Darren, one on the variation and medicinal value of plants, the other on the variation and medicinal value of insects, and then added: [Please give me another interview Chances are, these two papers are enough to show that losing me would be your ministry's loss.]
Dr. Darren laughed at the email, but when he opened the paper, he was fascinated by its content. After more than two hours, he closed the file with a sigh of relief, and replied: [Well, I will be waiting for you in the office at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, please come on time. I hope your talents are enough to make up for your flaws in character.]
After the email was successfully sent, he thought for a while, and then said to his assistant, "Eddie, help me find out what this Lin has done in China, and why she postponed her admission." He learned that Lin Dan successfully sold his research. Yes, Dr. Darren immediately blocked this person, without knowing the inside story in detail.
The assistant had already been taken care of by Zeng Zhenyuan, and even if the doctor didn't mention it, he would try his best to say good things to Lin Dan. He pretended to call Huaguo to learn about the situation, received several faxes, and finally put the investigation results on the doctor's desk.
Darren flipped through the stack of documents carefully, his expression changed from being critical to being surprised, and finally murmured, "I can't believe that there are such stupid women in the world." So the next afternoon, Lin Dan sat in his room. On the opposite side, he was scrutinized with the eyes of a fool.
Lin Dan is also looking at this big player in biology. The other party is very young, only in his early thirties, his face is very three-dimensional, his facial features are also very handsome, and his golden-brown hair is a little messy, which makes him appear a bit wild that is completely different from a scholar. He took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned a few buttons at the top of the black shirt, revealing his sexy Adam's apple and collarbone, his sleeves were rolled over his elbows, the muscles of his arms and forearms were taut, and the lines were very graceful and smooth. Not to mention among scholars, even among actors, his figure is definitely top-notch, and he dresses with great taste.
Hua Guo's mentor described him as a dictator, and Lin Dan felt that the word was very appropriate. He did have a kind of arrogance of self-respect.
Darren had already printed the papers sent by Lin Dan into paper products, and now he was flipping page by page, and said slowly, "I only recently learned why you delayed admission. To be honest, I have a hard time understanding your choice. .Today is the last interview opportunity I give you, if you can impress me, I will take back my previous decision."
Lin Dan said calmly, "Thank you, doctor."
The assistant stood aside, and she broke into a cold sweat for nothing. Everyone in the Biological Sciences Department knows that Dr. Darren is very rational, and it's too hard to impress him!
Darren raised the paper in his hand and said, "Your paper is enough to prove your scientific research ability. Can I ask you a few more personal questions?"
"Yes." Lin Dan nodded slightly.
"To help those people, you are now at risk of losing your studies. Do you regret it?"
Lin Dan thought for a moment, then said cautiously, "I don't regret it. There is one thing I must be honest with you. I seem to lack some feelings by nature."
Darren looked surprised: "Affectionate disorder? It's dangerous."
Lin Dan knew that she lacked some feelings because of her illness, but she felt that it was unnecessary to explain, so she nodded and said, "Yes, this is very dangerous. Without emotional fluctuations, a person seems to be living a free and easy life and doesn't care about anything. In fact, they will gradually lose themselves. They have no hatred, so they are indifferent; they have no love, so they are cold; What, or responsibility, or kindness, no matter what it is, as long as it can make me feel my existence, I must keep this bottom line. After all that, I have been tired, hurt, cried, maybe in others It seemed like a bad experience, but for me it was a precious emotion."
Lin Dan pointed to his heart and said slowly, "I know that something is wrong with me. My heart is like a desert, vast but barren. But when the rain falls, the desert will turn into a sea of flowers overnight. , miracles happen in an instant. Those love and hate, touching and anger, for me, are the rain that nourishes the desert, very precious, so I can only be grateful, and have no regrets.”
Will murder and arson make her feel guilty? No, so she needs to put a lot of shackles on herself. She can completely avoid the responsibility of the original owner. If she really does, she will live very casually, but can she experience the fun of learning and scientific research? Can she find her purpose in life and stick to it? No, she will only live in this world in a daze, and eventually become a walking corpse. People without feelings will eventually self-destruct, it is inevitable.
Darren was silent for a long time before he said: "If you don't tell me, I can't see that you have an emotional disorder at all." People with emotional deficit disorder have no empathy ability, can't understand the joys and sorrows of others, suspicious, numb, Cold and out of tune with society. But in Lin Dan, what Darren saw was the complete opposite.
Lin Dan smiled bitterly and said, "Because I am treating myself. I try to care about the feelings of others, and try to integrate into the surrounding environment, even if it is difficult." Every part of her life is an experience, and the meaning of experience is to let become better yourself. Without memory, she still has feelings and realizations, just like countless flower seeds hidden in the desert, although you can't see them, you can't deny their existence.
Darren stared at her for a long time and continued: "I heard that you lost a child, do you regret it?"
Lin Dan was silent for a moment before slowly shaking his head: "Maybe my answer will make you feel uncomfortable, but I don't regret it. You also know that the nature of our work determines that it is impossible for us to accompany our children all the time. Twenty-two a day For four hours, we often spend 18 hours in the laboratory, and children cannot grow without the company of their parents. I only have one person, and my company is more important to children, so I chose to give up.”
Darren wrote two words on the paper: take, give up, and put a question mark in the middle. He asked silently in his heart: If I exchange places with Lin Dan, how will I choose? In the end, he found that he would choose ideals and careers. Some people are more emotional, some people are more rational, and Lin Dan's emotional deficit disorder makes her choices more rational. It's not wrong, it's just a different concept.
He didn't speak for a long time, and it took about five or six minutes before he said in a deliberately cold tone: "Lin, if I still decide to cancel your admission qualification, what are you going to do?"
Lin Dan slowly pushed a huge cheque in front of him and whispered, "Can I show you my sincerity, such as building another experimental building for the Department of Biological Sciences, or buying a batch of experimental equipment? You Which one do you think is more suitable?" She also fought for this admission letter.
Darren's serious expression couldn't hold back, he couldn't help laughing: "Okay Lin, your sincerity touched me. From your conversation, I learned that you are a person with a sense of responsibility and bottom line. You try to let yourself go. It's good to stick to something. I was furious when I learned that you sold your research, I thought you were a guy who would sell everything for money, but today I found out I was wrong."
He stared at Lin Dan's eyes and continued: "Recently, a scientist released a research result, he used gene rewriting technology to give birth to two children. This seriously violated my moral bottom line. Rewriting human genes is God. Science is a double-edged sword, and no one knows whether the so-called perfect human beings after being rewritten are still our own kind. Doomsday, zombies, destruction, the door of disaster has been pushed open by us, and the consequences are too terrible "Scientists have the ability to create a world, and they have the ability to destroy a world. I have to choose carefully. I have to make sure that my students have bottom lines, not crazy mercenaries."
"I can understand you." Lin Dan nodded.
Darren stood up and hugged her, "Very good, you've passed the interview, and I'll be your mentor. You know, you were the first person to convince me to change my mind. Your sincerity touched me." He rushed Lin blinked playfully, but did not accept the check. A person who has no feelings can do this for others, he thinks Lin Dan is a miracle.
Lin Dan, who didn't expect to be able to persuade Dr. Darren, was stunned for a long time before thanking him gratefully. She walked out of the office and bathed in the late spring sun, and suddenly felt that the exhaustion and struggle and painful choices during this period of time had suddenly become clear. She knew that she was really alive and what she was doing, and that was the best answer.
