Chapter 82 Friends with benefits (please recommend tickets!)

on the way back.

Two cars in tandem.

The car in front was driven by Leonard, the co-pilot was shotgun by Sheldon, and Owen and Jamie sat in the back.

The car behind was driven by Penny, and the co-pilot was snatched away by Howard. Rajesh could only sit quietly in the back row, looking at the front pitifully.

"So, Owen, did you really accept Caltech's invitation to be a professor in the Department of Mathematics?"

Leonard peeked at Jamie from the rearview mirror, but met Owen's half-smile eyes, and smiled awkwardly: "I read your P=NP paper, it's really wonderful, I think you Phil As the winner of this award, Caltech must directly hire you as a full professor, right?"

In foreign academic systems, bachelor's, master's, doctorate, and doctoral degrees are already the highest degrees, so when Shelton and others call them, they always add a doctor in front of their first or last name, and those who have titles abroad It is the same as adding the word sir before the name of the person, all of which are meant to show respect.

A professor is a teaching position. When a Ph.D. applies to lead a student, the school will select the best to hire them as an assistant professor. The number of Ph.D.s has been increasing, but the position of an assistant professor has remained basically constant. Therefore, it is considered a promotion and salary increase. Generally, there are 3 to 7 [-] years trial period.

Assistant professors have passed the probation period and performed well, and their schools will hire them as tenured professors, and then they will be promoted to associate professors smoothly.

And only after achieving outstanding academic achievements, associate professors will be promoted to full professors!

Of course, someone like Owen who solved a millennium math problem and won the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics, Caltech and other top universities have directly issued invitations for full professors.

After all, the Fields Medal is different from the Nobel Prize in that it is held every four years, and every winner is an object that universities are vying to invite, because this is a good way to increase a university’s heritage and ranking!
Just look at the official websites of those top universities. Winners of various world-class awards such as Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals have always been one of the focuses of the top universities' publicity.

"Yes!"

Owen nodded and said with a smile: "Caltech has brought together such talents as you, and it is worth my joining."

"Professor students, oh~"

Sheldon in the passenger seat made a disgusted expression.

He doesn't like teaching students very much. When the school took the initiative to promote him and raise his salary as an assistant professor so that he could "use his extremely intelligent brain to teach his profound knowledge to the next generation", his reaction Yes: "You guys are really sick!"

"Teaching students is fun."

Owen knew Sheldon well, and said with a smile: "You can't dislike the profession of professor just because you didn't teach George well. By the way, I met Missy on the plane before, and she is working as a flight attendant now."

"That's how stupid Little George is."

Sheldon thought of his brother George Jr. who couldn't play football because he didn't pass the grades in high school, so his father, who is a football coach, asked him to tutor his brother, but he didn't want his brother to have no interest in studying, so he cheated in the end , let him experience the setbacks of educational failure.

"Oh, I didn't expect that. I always thought she was working as a waiter."

"Ha ha."

The corner of Owen's mouth twitched. Looking at Shelton, who tilted his head and looked unconcerned and indifferent, he silently mourned for Missy Cooper for 3 minutes, and said in his heart, "Having such a twin brother is really 'heartwarming'." , No wonder Missy didn't like to call me by my name at the beginning, but insisted on calling me Big Brother all the time, what a lack of brotherly love.

Hey, speaking of it this way, I'm still a little sorry for Missy, if I knew it, I'd let her scream for a few more years, but she's grown up and is getting married soon, so it shouldn't matter..."

TBBT Apartments.

Room 4A.

"bye!"

"bye!"

After a simple welcome party, Owen and Jamie got up and left. Looking at the backs of Owen and Leonard, the three of Leonard stood there for a long time.

"dibs!"

"dibs!"

Rajesh, who had no girls present, and the coquettish Howard looked at each other, and a pair of good friends instantly understood each other's mind, and shouted in unison.

"I said it first, I like her!"

cried Howard.

"You just like her and I'm deeply in love with her."

Rajesh is more shameless.

"and many more."

Leonard reacted a bit too late, and shouted unwillingly: "Irving is my good friend, why do you call dibs?"

"You already have Penny, and you still fight with us for Jamie?"

Howard was indignant.

They all acquiesced to Sheldon's Owen's super-male theorem, and they all wanted to try it on Jamie after Owen and Jamie broke up. Even in their dreams, they had never been close to a big beauty of this level. Opportunities, naturally do not want to miss.

"What do you mean I have Petunia?"

Leonard spread his hands and shouted speechlessly: "Which of your eyes saw that I have Petunia? And in which universe did I have Petunia?"

Howard was taken aback by Leonard's excited tone, then his heart moved, and he asked softly, "In this way, I can chase Penny?"

"Hell, no!!!"

Leonard immediately yelled back. Although Jamie was more beautiful and attractive, Penny gave him a wonderful feeling. He didn't want to give up at all. It didn't matter if Irving could assist. How could Howard, who is so wretched, want to play Penny's idea?

Senior apartment for faculty and staff of Caltech.

Owen took Jamie to the 6th floor and opened the door to room 6B.

"Wow! How small!"

Jamie looked around and said critically: "It can't be compared with your mansion in New York, I still can't understand why you gave up your happy life in New York and went to a small place like Pasadena to be a professor?
With your assets, you don't think much of the professor's salary at all, it's not enough for you and Barney to go out for a 'fancy challenge'. "

"In your eyes, am I just a prodigal son like Barney? Can't I be noble because of my academic ideals?"

Owen grinned.

"Aren't you?"

Jamie opened those big eyes that made Owen hot, showing the expression of "do you think you should have an AC number in your heart?"

"Ok."

Owen shrugged, no longer refuted, but said with a smile: "When are you going to go back?"

"That's up to you."

Jamie pushed Owen violently, and said with a charming smile: "I am the most outstanding professional headhunter in New York, hunting you and letting you join Renaissance Futures Fund is the key to taking my career one step closer.

This is a war, either you conquer me or I conquer you, I am willing to give enough time and patience, don't you welcome me to live here?I thought we were friends..."

"Of course we are friends with benefits."

Owen leaned against the wall, looked down at Jamie's big eyes that looked even more charming because he raised his head, and whispered confidently: "But you're bound to lose..."
