Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 194: Beautiful place

　　While ExxonMobil was celebrating its "victory", not far away at the Hilton Hotel, a party was also going on.

　　In order to celebrate Anton's another great victory in the field of computational chemistry, in order to celebrate the completion of the theoretical model of electrochemical interfacial structure, David paid out of his own pocket in the Hilton Hotel rented a luxury ballroom, held this party.

　　A month was spent in busyness, working late into the night every day, everyone was like a taut string.

　　For the people of this country, a party is the best way to relax.

　　Orion was surprised to learn that these PHDs, who are usually unkempt in their attire, had a different profile from the stereotypical " technical guy" when they took off their lab coats and plaid shirts and changed into the most expensive tuxedos in their wardrobes.

　　What surprised him most, however, were the ladies at the party.

　　Are there so many female researchers at the D.E. Shaw Institute?

　　He had been a visiting scholar at Columbia University for more than a month, during which he basically reported to the institute every day, yet the number of females he had seen could be counted on one hand.

　　Especially those youthful and beautiful faces, also does not quite match the image of a female doctor ......

　　The time for the banquet had not yet arrived, but the guests had already arrived early.

　　Standing at the front of the ballroom's dance floor, David, dressed in formal attire, poured a glass of champagne into his own glass and then raised it high in the air with a smile.

　　"At this time of celebration, let us drink for our victory, for our Anton, and for our Professor - Orion!"

　　These three "cheers" were loud and impassioned, immediately pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to its peak.

　　Driven by the atmosphere, the guests attending the banquet also laughed and raised the wine glasses in their hands.

　　"Cheers!"

　　The sound of gaggling resounded, and spilled champagne and bubbles flew in the air.

　　Uniformed waiters came into the banquet hall carrying food trays and pushing food carts, and the food piled up on the long tables on both sides of the dance floor gradually became abundant.

　　Immediately following the sound of the melodious saxophone, guided by the music, young men and women stepped onto the dance floor.

　　Before eating, most preferred to have a dance with the object of their desire before planning the next part of the arrangement ......

　　Orion, though, was clearly in the minority.

　　It was the food at the feast that held his interest more than the dancing.

　　Especially after almost a month of bacon sandwiches, the brightly coloured salads, the creamy cakes, the crispy chicken thighs, and the foie gras baked in sweet wine ...... were all particularly appetising in Orion's eyes.

　　Just as he was adding more food to his plate, David, the host of the party, came his way with champagne.

　　"How do you feel?" Lifting the champagne and clinking glasses with Orion, David said with a smile, "This banquet, at least half of it, is for you."

　　Orion smiled back and casually replied, "It's very New York."

　　"And compared to Princeton?"
