Chapter 1423

By the end of November, the atmosphere of the Nobel Prize began to intensify in Europe.

In fact, the awards in October are the most popular. All kinds of conjectures began to appear in the newspapers in August and September, just like a series of suspense novels. For example, in October every year, the Japanese media have a persistent activity, the so-called squat action.

Since the 1950s and 1960s, after the economic recovery and the revitalization of science and technology, Japan has gradually regarded the Nobel Prize as an important part of its national self-confidence. Every time it comes to the prize season, the media will go to the homes of those who predict that they may win the prize, in order to give interviews and reports in the first time.

The candidates who are most likely to win the Nobel Prize will naturally get the most crouching, especially the national media. Relatively less famous candidates usually have to be taken care of by the local media.

It can be imagined that this kind of crouching most of the time is futile, but, like the festival lottery, this kind of action can't stop. The reason why Haruki Murakami has never won the prize may be that he is afraid of loneliness.

From Britain to the north, especially to Sweden, Denmark and Norway, the atmosphere of the Nobel Prize has not cooled since October. Even on Christmas and other days, the whole family is still talking about the Nobel Prize.

Towards December, the atmosphere of the Swedish Nobel Prize is more intense. Similarly, the atmosphere of the Nobel Prize in other European countries is also surging again.

The most obvious change is that Yang Rui and Jing Yulan were successively upgraded at the airport when they set out from London.

The air tickets purchased by the chemical and pharmaceutical revitalization office are all economy class. In the 1980s, Chinese people, even leading cadres, usually did not have the concept of first-class travel. Even if they did, ordinary unit leaders were reluctant to go.

The money in the coffer can't be taken out, but it's for your own use after all. It's a waste to use the same money three times. Economy class seats are crowded, and it's only a few hours away. Even if you fly across the ocean for more than ten hours, is it still more fierce than green cars - two years earlier, Tank cars are still popular.

For Yang Rui, Hu Chi and others who have just won the Nobel Prize, they don't think they need to be given special treatment. What else do they want to do when they go abroad to lead a tour of ten European countries.

Even Hu Chi and others are smiling in economy class. They don't think there is any price drop for department level cadres in economy class.

As far as normal thinking is concerned, it's wonderful to be able to fly.

However, Europeans obviously don't think so. After confirming Yang Rui's identity for the first time, they will recognize Yang Rui accurately every time. Nowadays, there are fewer people flying, and the executive ability of the aviation department is obviously stronger.

Hu Chi and others, no matter what they think, can only look at Yang Rui, take Jing Yulan, quietly across the queue of people, self-care sitting car straight to the belly of the plane, and then enjoy non pig food in the front of the plane.

From London to Copenhagen, from Copenhagen to Oslo.

After finishing the procurement task in Norway, Yang Rui's upgrade journey finally met obstacles at Oslo Airport - the plane was full on that day.

It is very common for airlines to have their planes full 30 years later. However, even after 30 years, the first-class occupancy rate of most airlines is not high. The ground crew was very sorry and said, "Professor, our flight is overbooked today. Can we arrange you to the front row of economy class?"

"Of course." Yang Rui takes a look at Jing Yulan and smiles.

Jing Yulan also responded with a smile. She didn't ask for first class.

The ground agent saw it and said in English, "excuse me, is this Mrs. Yang?"

"It's my fiancee." Yang Rui answered without hesitation.

Jing Yulan is an English teacher. She naturally understands English. She is very satisfied with Yang Rui's answer. On her face, she is still shy.

However, compared with the time in China, Mr. Jing is more relaxed.

"Congratulations." The ground agent hesitated for a moment and said, "please wait a moment. En, could you please go to the rest room first and we will send the ticket to you later?"

The ground agent pulled another man and gave two orders in a low voice.

"Yes, please." Yang Rui takes Jing Yulan and follows another person to the VIP Hall.

Hu Chi is very familiar with him these days. He follows him and says with a smile, "I'll rub a place with you."

The ground agent who led the way in front of him took them to the VIP Hall of the airport.

Without waiting to be seated, Hu Chi went to the food rack inside and said, "I don't think the first-class cabin is great, but the food is better. Ah, foreigners have so much money for a meal. How can they bear itYang Rui joked: "you are also a senior cadre. I agree to save money for economy class. Don't lose your national prestige."

"It's not national prestige to watch others have enough to eat and drink when they are hungry. That's stupid. Hey, the lounge of Nordic Airlines is good. There's a lot of hot food. Ah, this spaghetti looks good." Hu Chi followed Yang Rui to the first class twice, as if he was a regular passenger.

Yang Rui can only shrug his shoulders and look for a place to sit down. In fact, he is more picky about food. When it's not delicious, he would rather not eat, so as not to take a lot of exercise.

Hu Chi, on the other hand, is an old-fashioned Chinese idea. When he sees a free lunch, he would like to eat a solid meal. It's better to eat a fat man all at once and save three or five years' rations. What's wrong with senior cadres? They should also be paid.

"I said, you don't have to take first class this time, so you can join us in economy class. Fortunately, the road is not far. I can't hurt you without two hours Hu Chi brought a full order of spaghetti and asked the waiter to add too much meat sauce. He brought it back and enjoyed it.

Yang Rui said with a smile: "now that we know that other people have privileges, how unhappy the ordinary people are."

"From now on, you and the common people are not involved." Hu Chi swallowed his face, wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and sighed: "I can see that all department level cadres are fake. When they go abroad, they are useless. You are not the same. What is a world-class scholar? I have seen that when I go to a country, I am praised by a country, and when I go to a place, I am praised by a place. Even the ground crew of the airport knows you. If I want to say that, it's OK for people to take this responsibility. "

"It's this year. Next year, when a new Nobel Prize comes out, people will be chasing new people. At least, the ground crew can't recognize me."

"But your information is still on the list of airlines, isn't it? It's OK to upgrade when you meet." Hu Chi sighed and said, "if I want to eat spaghetti again, I'll have to pay for it myself."

"As long as you like, a large number of state-owned enterprise cadres want to treat you to noodles."

"I like free food, but I don't like people giving it away." Hu Chi then ate two mouthfuls of noodles, wiped his mouth again, and said, "maybe this is the last time we'll be in economy class together. I don't know if we can meet the first class when we're full when we go back..."

"Professor Yang." Just now, the ground crew came over with a light step.

"Hello." Yang Rui stands up with a smile, and Hu Chi behind him has to stand up embarrassed to cover his mess of spaghetti.

"Professor Yang, here is your boarding pass." The ground crew first handed it over to Yang Rui, and then said, "the seat was given up by a Swedish couple. He offered to see you. Is that ok?"

"Of course it's no problem to see me." Yang Rui glanced at the boarding pass and found that it was first class again, which made him feel embarrassed and said, "there is no need to change seats. I'll just sit in the back. There's no problem."

"We are willing to give it to you. Any Swede will be willing to give up his seat to the Nobel Prize winner. " In the rest room of the compartment, the businessman Blumer and his wife came out through the middle door and said with great pride: "in Sweden, there are only two kinds of people, one is the one who loves Nobel Prize, the other is the one who loves it, and I love him."

The national mood and patriotism surged up together. Yang Rui was a little overwhelmed. He said half jokingly, "in fact, I'm still young. There's no need to ask the first class to give me. Well, it's good to have a rest in the lounge. The waiting time is too long."

If Yang Rui stays in the hall, he will certainly be surrounded by the cadres of various enterprises. He will not stop until he gets on the plane.

"If Mr. Blumer is not in a hurry, there will be another flight in two and a half hours. You can sign a new flight and we will upgrade Professor Yang," the ground agent said kindly

"There's no need to upgrade." Yang Rui emphasized one sentence and added: "thank you, Mr. and Mrs. bloom. It's my honor to win the Nobel Prize. I don't need to make it a burden."

"We hope to take care of not only you, but also your fiancee." "It's a great honor for Swedes to come to Sweden. We are also very happy to meet you and share a plane with you. Professor Yang, don't refuse the gift."

After that, Mrs. bloom said to the ground crew, "we want to take a plane with Mr. Yang Rui, so we don't need to change the sign. If you don't mind, can we stay in the lounge?"

"Of course, no problem." The ground agent replied quickly and said, "please sit down for a while. I'll inform you when we board the plane."

"All right." Brummer and his wife answered, very Swedish temperament.Yang Rui could not refuse any more. He said thank you again and asked them to sit down.

"Please don't be angry. We heard the service personnel of the airline say that there is a Nobel Prize winner and we have a plane, so we asked to come here." Blumer first explained for the airline company, and then said: "Professor Yang, please don't care about a first-class seat. Any Swede who hears that the Nobel Prize winner is on the same plane is willing to stand up and fly back happily."

Mrs. bloomer also nodded with pride and said, "only in Oslo can the Nobel Prize winners fly economy class. The Norwegians, while discrediting the Nobel Prize with the help of the government, can't provide real services. It's really terrible. "

"Fortunately, Nordic people are smart and know how to tell us." Blumer had a tacit understanding with him.

Yang Rui can't laugh or cry.

"Your fiancee is really happy, can witness you won the Nobel Prize..." Mrs. bloom took Jing Yulan to say a few words, after all, Swedes are not very good at words, soon let Hu Chi in, decided to chat content.

The brummers became free Swedish spies and began to popularize business information to Hu Chi.

In 87 years of lack of information, this information is very useful to the delegation.

"In a moment, I'll sit with you." Hu Chi found the reason, with a helpless mood, said: "Yang Rui, you take first class, we can talk, more interesting."

Yang Rui shrugged, but turned back to find his English version of genomics, signed it seriously, and gave it to the brummers, which surprised them.

Listening to the two people effortlessly read out the proper terms, Yang Rui also admired the scientific literacy of the Swedes.

No matter how many intrigues are behind the Nobel Prize, it's not easy to hold the grand scientific ceremony of nearly a century.
