The party lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and the guests and hosts had a great time. It was a great success.

Suddenly, at Xiang Nan's request, Penny took Leonard and Howard to Macy's Department Store and did a thorough scan of the goods.

It turned out that even though Xiang Nan helped as a wingman and helped them connect, Leonard and Howard were not good at picking up girls, so they didn't succeed in joining hands in the end.

Therefore, they decided to accept Xiang Nan's suggestion and change their image.

Howard cut off his hair and changed it to a buzzcut. Then he put on a suit and tie, and he became a handsome yuppie again.

Leonard took off his glasses and wore contact lenses instead. He stopped wearing a pullover and wore a leather jacket. This made him look much cooler and no longer looked like a nerd.

"Wow, this is really me, cool!" Leonard looked at himself in the mirror and said with satisfaction.

"I think I'm cooler." Howard straightened his tie and said proudly.

Seeing that they had successfully disguised themselves, Xiang Nan couldn't help but smile and nod.

In fact, people like Leonard and Howard are very suitable for the yuppie style.

They are extremely talented and knowledgeable. They are said to be full of poetry and calligraphy, but in terms of temperament, they are actually all excellent.

It's just that because they are nerds, they have always been bullied and humiliated since childhood, so they generally lack self-confidence, are timid and submissive, and even if they are very talented, they can only show one point.

Now, under Xiang Nan's inducement and Penny's encouragement, the two of them successfully cross-dressed, and they immediately felt like they had changed their faces and started a new life.

"If you had dressed up like this yesterday, you wouldn't have left empty-handed." Penny said feeling sorry for them.

Hearing what she said, Leonard and Howard couldn't help but look dark.

"Don't worry, Penny still has many friends. We'll introduce them later." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly comforted her.

Penny nodded.

"If it were you before, I really wouldn't dare introduce you again." She smiled, "But now, I am willing to match you."

"Yeah!" After hearing what she said, Leonard and Howard became happy again.

…

On Monday, Xiang Nan went back to school to work.

"How's it going? Have you talked to Leslie and is she willing to join us?" Howard asked after the meeting.

"We've already talked about it." Xiang Nan nodded, "She wasn't very interested at first, but I think she will eventually choose to join."

Leslie is a very strong woman. She regards Sheldon as her lifelong enemy and wants to prove to him that she is not a stupid woman who only knows how to wash clothes and breastfeed children.

And if she wants to prove this, she must produce scientific research results that are superior to others.

But the symbolic lepton supersymmetry she is currently studying is far inferior to Sheldon's string theory. It is simply impossible to shut up Sheldon with it.

The quantum navigation system is different. This is the most cutting-edge technology and the most practical invention. Once successfully developed, it will surely gain both fame and fortune.

It is much stronger than Sheldon's string theory, which has not yet been verified and is just a fantasy.

Therefore, Xiang Nan was sure Leslie would give it a try.

Sure enough, at ten o'clock, there was a knock on the office door.

Xiang Nan went over to open the door and saw Leslie standing outside.

"Welcome, I knew you would come." He said with a smile.

"Don't say that yet, I want to see the progress of your research first, and then I will decide whether to join or not." Leslie waved his hand.

"Okay, but before reading, please sign this agreement." Xiang Nan handed over a confidentiality agreement and said.

The agreement requires that the signatory shall not disclose any project-related information to anyone, let alone write papers or conduct research on the project's research results on its own.

After Leslie read the agreement carefully, he cautiously signed his name.

After confirming that her signature was accurate, Xiang Nan and Howard took out their research results.

When Leslie saw it, her eyes lit up.

"Superfluid surface tension?! Interesting!" she said in surprise.

In the past, when people studied superfluid, they only considered its density and viscosity, but never considered its surface tension.

This makes the superfluid physics model imperfect, and the quantum navigation system developed based on it has naturally been unable to be successfully developed.

Xiang Nan and Howard's research is indeed very creative and groundbreaking. Once successful, it may be possible to successfully develop a quantum navigation system and quantum communication system based on this.

"How about it? Are you willing to join?" Xiang Nan then asked.

Leslie thought for a moment, then nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll join."

"Great, welcome." Xiang Nan stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

"Yes, I welcome you too." Howard also came over and extended his hand as well.

Leslie only shook hands with Xiang Nan. She knew very well about Howard's obscenity. "Thank you. Okay, what should I do next."

"First of all, please sign this contract. Let's be villains first and then gentlemen, so as to avoid conflicts in the future." Xiang Nan took out another contract and said.

After Leslie read it carefully, he questioned some parts of the contract.

For example, her power, rights, position in the team, etc.

Xiang Nan gave the answers one by one.

After Leslie thought for a moment, he signed his name on the contract.

"Welcome, from now on, you are an official member of the project team." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Thank you. Now you should tell me what I should do." Leslie asked.

"Well, Howard and I have almost finished our research, but there are a few key equations that we can't solve. I hope you can help us." Xiang Nan was honest and fair.

"Okay." Leslie nodded.

Xiang Nan listed the equations, and then the three of them began to calculate.

…

After Leslie joined, many problems were solved and the progress of the project was greatly accelerated.

"In two days at most, our research will be successful." Upon seeing this, Xiang Nan said excitedly.

"Yeah, it's really great." Howard said equally excitedly. Fame, success and fortune were right in front of him. How could he not be excited?

"Don't get too excited yet. Building a theoretical model is just the first step. Next, we have to do experiments and consider making it practical. There is still a long way to go," Leslie said coldly.

When she said this, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

"You're right." Xiang Nan nodded.

Just then, there was a ding-dong sound coming from his email inbox.

Xiang Nan opened it and laughed immediately.

"What's wrong? What good news can make you so happy?" Howard asked curiously when he saw this.

"My paper "Edgeworth-Kyber Debris Disk" was accepted by the Astrophysical Journal." Xiang Nan said happily.

"Really?! Wow!" When Howard heard this, he couldn't help but be happy for him.

The Astrophysical Journal is the highest-level professional magazine in the field of astronomy in the United States. It is really an honor for Xiang Nan's paper to be accepted by it.
