Unexpected

Her best friend's family background was similar to hers in the early days, but the gap widened after her family started getting involved in real estate.

The difference in family background subtly placed Lin Jia at the core of this small circle of three best friends. She could vaguely sense that the other two would be more proactive in chatting with her.

After Li Xiyin finished speaking, Zhou Yaqi quickly said, "Yeah, Lin Jia, you're so lucky. You just casually found a potential stock.

I was stunned when I saw the news. A post-95 genius, the strongest post-95 scientist.

Chen Yuanguang's achievements can probably rank first among Qingbei undergraduates, right? The movie adapted from his work is heading towards three billion at the box office. It's like casually digging and finding the brightest diamond.

Lin Jia, I think your name is well-chosen. This 'Jia' means you can take first place in everything."

Lin Jia couldn't hide the smile on her face when she heard her two best friends praising Chen Yuanguang.

She had never expected Chen Yuanguang to make a name for himself so quickly, nor did she expect him to become successful.

Because her family was wealthy enough, she had no need for material things. Lin Jia would feel insecure if Chen Yuanguang was too outstanding.

Lin Jia said, "When you came to Jiang University to visit me back then, I told you that Yuanguang was very capable, but you didn't believe me."

Li Xiyin and Zhou Yaqi exchanged glances. At that time, they thought Lin Jia had just found a handsome guy to have a campus romance with.

"Lin Jia, calling him Yuanguang is too intimate," Zhou Yaqi teased.

Li Xiyin, on the other hand, asked, "I've briefly looked at the paper Chen Yuanguang wrote. There are many points in it that I, as a computer science major, can't figure out. How could he consider the algorithm to that extent? He's too proficient in matrix calculations.

Was he proficient in algorithms and mathematics when he was in university?"

Lin Jia recalled, "In my impression, he was pretty good. When I was in university, for advanced mathematics and later microeconomics and macroeconomics, he explained the calculations I didn't understand to me.

As for computer science, he took elective courses in Python and mathematical modeling, so he should have passed."

Li Xiyin was speechless. She felt that Lin Jia was blinded by love. The mathematics and elective algorithms taken by an undergraduate in the School of Economics and Management were like the basic sword techniques of a cultivation sect.

And the paper Chen Yuanguang published was like opening the gate of heaven with a single sword strike. The other party only learned the basic sword techniques but could open the gate of heaven with a single sword strike. This must mean he leveled up the basic sword techniques to lv.999.

Li Xiyin felt that she really couldn't understand the world of geniuses.

"He is very sensitive to mathematics. I just need to show him many problems, and he'll have ideas. I always thought he should have studied mathematics instead of chemistry.

He studied chemistry and didn't like going to the lab, but unexpectedly, he found the path of computational chemistry," Lin Jia said.

Zhou Yaqi asked, "What about writing? I never heard you say that Chen Yuanguang had a talent for writing before."

At Chen Yuanguang's request, Lin Jia had never revealed to her friends that Chen Yuanguang was a web novel writer.

Chen Yuanguang felt that it would be too embarrassing if people he knew found out that he wrote Tokyo romance novels.

As for why it didn't matter if Lin Jia knew, it was because he started to give up after she accidentally found out.

Later, he even started to borrow from her for the prototypes of his novels.

The four-month holiday seemed long, but in reality, it passed quickly.

They chose Cuba as their travel destination, firstly because Cuba is visa-free for China, and Chen Yuanguang had not applied for any overseas visas other than American ones before, so going to Cuba was the most convenient.

Secondly, there were many flights between Cuba and New York, which was very convenient.

After returning to Boston, 2019 passed in a flash.

"Yuanguang, based on the current situation, even if you finish your novel before March, Goose Factory probably won't push the filming plan at this time," Lin Jia said. She had already moved to Boston, as all classes at Columbia University and MIT had gone online.

"I heard my dad say he seems to have invested in Zoom. Zoom's valuation is already over ten billion US dollars. Capitalists really make money."

"It's unrealistic to aim for the summer blockbusters. Goose Factory wants to aim for the National Day blockbusters."

"The overall film market this year will shrink like never before, by at least 30%."

"Sometimes misfortune is indeed intertwined with fortune. We invested less, so the risk is also smaller. The film market is too sluggish this year. Even popular IPs might lose money."

"I'm going crazy cooped up at home. We can move freely in China now. Why don't we go back?

Anyway, we're taking classes remotely."

Columbia University started remote classes in March, so Lin Jia moved to Boston to live with Chen Yuanguang from March onwards. Boston had fewer people and was less likely to be infected with the virus.

Chen Yuanguang was working on solving this problem. He was trying to find the answer in the future.

"Professor Levitt, I think the approach proposed by Pfizer and Moderna in the online meeting is a possible solution."

Levitt's life was a two-point line between home and the lab. As a top expert in the field of proteins, he also wanted to do his part.

Chen Yuanguang had recently published a paper on the simulated evolution of virus mutations and was also a top expert in this field.

Levitt hoped that communication with Chen Yuanguang could bring some inspiration.

"The BioNTech platform has been researching mRNA tumor vaccines, but there haven't been many results since the project started in 2008."

"I think you can do some simulation calculations for small molecule treatment platforms and use that to drive the research," Levitt suggested a solution to Chen Yuanguang.

The BioNTech platform mainly combines immunology, cutting-edge treatment platforms, and various patient analysis and bioinformatics tools to develop personalized immunotherapies for cancer and other diseases. The mRNA therapy platform is one of its main platforms.

Later, Moderna adopted the BioNTech platform.

It seems I still have to rely on myself, Chen Yuanguang thought. Being able to go to the future to find technical information is enough.

"I plan to do some research here to help eliminate the virus. If I go back, I'm not sure which lab I can borrow.

The lab equipment here is better," Chen Yuanguang didn't really want to go back now.

MIT's labs were absolutely world-class.

Lin Jia sighed, "Okay, then I'll stay here with you."

This plot will end in two chapters. There's too much I can't write, and I'm suffering writing it. There's only one chapter left.
