混在美国名校
海攀
和子下来找到杨小静，急得都快哭了。她说：“我真的做得很仔细的。我不知道为什么会没有结果。要是再做一遍还是同样可怎么办？”杨小静知道和子是一个非常认真的人，说她在实验中有失误，似乎不太可能。杨小静不懂这个实验，可是她懂得人心，她觉得郑卫如果没有把握，是不会说出来的。她问和子：“你想过大卫的说法吗？”和子说：“我觉得有些道理。可是论文上是这样说的，吉姆也让我这样做啊。”杨小静当然不想才上任就与老公对着干，可是她本能地感觉得，郑卫的说法不容忽视。她想了一会，对和子说：“这样吧，这次我给你准备两份实验材料。你一份照原来的做，另一份照大卫的办法做，都试一下，小心一点。”她知道这样会多花钱，可是时间比钱更重要，而且的确值得一试。和子担心道：“要是吉姆知道了……”杨小静说：“没关系，有我呢。出来结果后，先告诉我一声，可以吗？”
实践证明，郑卫是对的。杨小静事先把消息婉转透露给了吉姆。下一次开实验室大会时，吉姆一上来就让和子讲一下她的实验和结果。和子不敢隐瞒，说出了杨小静让她以不同次序做了两个实验的过程，并说按照郑卫所说的顺序所做的实验，结果等同预期。吉姆说了声祝贺，然后开杨小静的玩笑说：“我看只有我的妻子敢这样做。”接下来他便开始盘问郑卫，问他为什么会这样想，有什么理由可以认为那篇论文的方法在这里并不完全适用，从理论上的思考到相关实验的借鉴，都一一问到了，问得郑卫出了一身冷汗。讨论完后他来了句：“干得好，大卫，你开始用自己的脑子了！”
郑卫一开始有些担心，怕老板会觉得丢了面子，找自己的麻烦，后来看他老人家根本不在乎自己学生的一点小创见，反而很高兴郑卫出了主意，并帮助别人解决了问题。郑卫有点佩服了，觉得牛人都不是小鸡肚肠。当然他也很快就想明白了，吉姆这种档次的人，不会去注意这些实验细节，人家的主要工作是战略指导和申请科研资金，对他来说，最主要的是出成果，象他这样的大牌，不会在乎在手下的喽罗眼中是什么形象。而更让他感到意外的，是杨小静的做法，很明显她相当信任自己，而且肯冒风险让他的想法得到证实。其实她说一声按照老板的指示办，谁也说不出什么来。可是她却如此费心，让自己在众人面前大大地露了一回脸。他没有看杨小静，可是心里不由自主地对这个贱人暗暗有点感激。
其实杨小静的做法也使得很多人感到心安，原来她真是帮大伙忙的，不是跟老板串通一气收拾大家的。以后许多人出了问题害怕老板生气，都会找杨小静帮忙，杨小静是能帮就帮，能瞒就瞒，尽量为他们分忧解难。吉姆当然知道杨小静的做法，可是他不但不生气，反而觉得很好，有唱白脸的，就应该有唱红脸的，老板不能不严厉，老板娘也不能不温和，总要有人起到缓冲作用，上级和下属如果总是硬碰硬，不利于工作。
郑卫把这事讲述给刘娟听，刘娟又夸他就是聪明，使郑卫的自信又上升了一点点。可是郑卫还是说：“以后少管闲事，老板可是得罪不起。我的试读期一半多了，到时间还指望老板给我转正呢。”肖君杰从生意的角度看问题说：“没有问题啦。你的老板给你投了钱，投了人，不会让你半途离开的，放心吧。”郑卫和刘娟都说他讲的在理，都放下不少心。
丽莎这时对郑卫已经从信任发展到钦佩了，她发现自己这个小老板很有一套，远不是一般人可比。她原来感觉来给郑卫打下手是受迫害，现在才发现自己实在是幸运，因为老板厉害了，下属才能干得少，出活多，有奔头。郑卫以后出成果，当然有自己的一份。不象有的人，跟着破老板，什么都折腾不出来，老板气不顺时，还要找你的茬。丽莎确信郑卫肯定不会挑她的毛病，而这个小老板又这么能干，自己应该能更快地积累起足够的学术信任分。
哈哈，大力水手，我爱吃咖喱煮菠菜～～
“我觉得你挺傻的，你夸小静的话都用来夸娟子还差不多”
这个头像样子象个呆子吧？
抱歉， 我的笑话不好玩。 现在会在Mac上输简体了。 就怕中文， 洋文都说不好， 会让人笑话滴。
用极端情况考察感情是很容易伤感情的。
———— 故意制造极端情况去考验感情的才是傻子呢，真要遇到极端情况难道还能回避不成？
我们懂爱的杨小静童鞋还会再去找另一个符合她条件的爱人
I really does not think she is that bad. Am I a fool?
爱是有条件的，每个人的条件不同吧。小静的条件就比较高，不仅要能带她出国，而且要有豪车，洋房，社会地位，至于年龄大小以及是否已婚，都不是她所在乎的。万一哪一天，jim出了什么问题，给不了小静这些了。我们懂爱的杨小静童鞋还会再去找另一个符合她条件的爱人
strongly agree with your comment
是啊，无论多牛的人，都不要随便得罪人，这是做人的基本之道。
Jing deserting Zheng is never a decent thing. However my impression is that she is lost in desperation. Jim just fills in the emptiness that Zheng left. Jing in nature is not a material girl, she lost hope in Zheng. The sheer superiority of Jim in social status, wealth and career success at the time may have overwhelmed and blinded her. If she realizes she and Zheng can achieve that sooner or later, more or less, she will not give up that quickly. She does not realize that youth is priceless and not look far enough. That is the tragedy of her. Juan is a saint, no argument of that, but Jing deserves better...
Not sure if Jing really loves Jim. She may realize they just exchange what they need not long after their marriage. Her kindredness to Zheng later shows guilty, but more importantly the regret she may yet realize.
爱情是激情，不会长久。亲情会长久的多。人病了，找医生，找看护，用极端情况考察感情是很容易伤感情的。
想象力太丰富了：）
我觉得你挺傻的，你夸小静的话都用来夸娟子还差不多。
小静又不笨，自然知道不要去随便得罪人。本来她跟jim的事就挺见不了光的，如果自己再不收敛，惹了众怒，给人背后捅一刀，jim不好了，她还怎么能跟着爽呀？
她自己还是认为她爱吉姆的，也许别人不这样认为。

等有一天，jim身上的光环都退去了，或者说先她老去，起居不便，要他洗澡擦身的伺候着，她才会知道自己是不是真的爱他。

夫妻本是同林鸟，大难临头各自飞。
你还认为这是爱么？
好吧，如果你觉得28的真会爱上82的，我也无话可说。
Hope this story can help new comers to make a better judgement. This is twisted. But maybe Jing will go back to Zheng, you never know.
It is very hard to tell what will be the final result for a decision made at current moment. This is so-called "事后诸葛亮，事前猪一样".
"人是很复杂的。不同的人看同一个人，会有很不相同的评价。我还是想说，静就是一个普通人，有优点，也有缺点，不是天使，也不是魔鬼。"
The sad thing about Jing is that she changes for worse. Zheng is another Jim give or take in the future. Jing gives him up too quickly. I am not saying she is a saint, just sorry for Jing and Zheng, a perfect young couple, and their happiness ruined like this. Why they need to go through this just because of some old-timer happen to be Zheng's advisor
"不用急，她这个人很要求上进，会提高自己的"
Do not tell me Jing will leave Jim for 肖君杰 !? But actually they are a good pair.
人是很复杂的。不同的人看同一个人，会有很不相同的评价。我还是想说，静就是一个普通人，有优点，也有缺点，不是天使，也不是魔鬼。
说得对，爱总是有条件的，哪怕是因为对方好看或者能说会道。所以女性的爱又叫做附托终生。
干的好不如嫁的好！很多人有这样的感叹。
她自己还是认为她爱吉姆的，也许别人不这样认为。
不用急，她这个人很要求上进，会提高自己的：）
Sorry, messed up. Here is the correct one:
Kind of disagree. She is not that heartless like some people said. Jing certainly needs love and care like everyone else. She is like most of us spending most of her life in the school. She even works in the school. Her expectation of life is far from mature. That is the cause of this tragedy and she may be the one hurt the most.
Assuming all things said are true, then Jim is a outright loser before he met Jing. He is a old bachelor, having no close friends. His life is his lab and his papers, which is normal for a researcher. He chases every beautiful girl in his lab and is despised by his students and colleagues. He does not have a life. Jing is probably the last hope of his happiness. Jing is his savior. Luck him, he got her.
For Jing, she is young, beautiful and kind hearted. She deserves a young, loving and admiring husband as her companion. She deserves better. However, she ends up a Jim's lap pet from the princess of Zheng. Marrying Jim hardly equals joining the high class. It is almost impossible that Jim's circle will accept her. And Jim is just an old timer in the eyes of the people born here, showing his face at some academic conferences and student graduation ceremonies and working busily with his tubes and scales. Will Jing be happier, may be in the first several years... Zheng's pain is temporary, but Jing's regret will be long lasting. She is the real victim and she has so much potential...

到底什么是爱呢？爱也是有条件的吧？如果爱只剩一种信念，那是童话或者悲剧，那不是生活。
你真是个呆子，对小静那样的人来说，有没有爱，并不是最重要的
She always wants to take advantages of her different marriages according to the novel.

确实是这样。老美很多都是一根筋，处理人际关系相对简单，潜规则也少得多。不过有一点，一定要有实力，至少对中国人是这样。
相对而言。只是说他没有尽到应有的努力，也不是一点不学。
他并不需要补太多呀，只要沉下心来读论文就好了。
谢谢！本身就在这里混饭吃。不过也不能写科研细节，不然就不是小说而是论文了：）
所以说啊，以前说他混，都是瞎扯的，混能有那么好的底子么？再聪明的也搞不定呀～～
