[Four Drive Brothers] Reshaping Reality

The day before Brett left New Orleans, he taught his last financial engineering class of the semester.Many people have already got the news in advance that the financial engineering class, which has always been crowded with seats, is already overcrowded half an hour before the class starts.

Pratt sat next to Zhou Yan and murmured: "Professor Brett is going back to NASA. To be honest, his academic attainments are really strong. I don't know if the financial engineering class next semester will be so fulfilling."

Zhou Yan smiled lightly, she thought of Brett who was in the room, who was obviously wearing a blindfold and listening to her reading textbooks, but in fact could point out her slips of the tongue without any mistakes, and even sorted out her puzzled questions casually. A complete set of thinking logic, even when Brett could choose to return to NASA immediately after the medical examination, he still decided to finish teaching this semester.If it comes to sense of responsibility, high IQ, or hard work, among all the people Zhou Yan knows, no one does it better than Brett.

"Although in the midterm exam, the college has already assessed everyone's mastery of the Black-Scholes option pricing model, but as the core knowledge point in financial engineering, I believe the final exam will strengthen the knowledge of this knowledge. Depth of assessment." Brett motioned the students to look at the key positions in the projector, he paused, and continued, "Also, the students should already know that this is the last financial engineering class I will participate in with you .”

Suppressed screams and weeping sounded from the scene.

Brett was unmoved, and still said in a calm tone, "In the last 10 minutes of this class, I want to share a story with you. The two scholars who won the Nobel Prize for the option pricing model are Myron Scholes and Robert Merton, but it was the unawarded Fisher Black who actually created the model."

Following Brett's narration, the students who had been busy taking notes stopped their movements and turned to listen to Brett's story attentively.

"Even Samuelson, the greatest economist in history, once said that finance was once regarded as his weekend painting pastime. Blake combined practice and theory and brought earth-shaking influence to Wall Street. Everyone You are elites in various fields in the future, regardless of whether your names will be printed in the Book of Glory, I hope that you will never give up academically."

Zhou Yan's eyes were wet in the applause one after another. No one knows better than her. Brett, the captain of the American Space Wanderer team who set a perfect victory as the goal of participating in the World Cup, actually experienced a smooth and successful life. I have experienced NASA's cruel training and elimination, encountered setbacks with abnormal intraocular pressure, and sometimes even became preoccupied and worried about the future... Farewell is always sensational, but no one can say these words more convincingly than Brett force.

The next day.

"Dingling..." Brett picked up the phone, and Zhou Yan heard Brett say, "Okay, I see, I will wait for you there in an hour."

When Brett put down the phone, Zhou Yan exhaled quietly, trying her best to calm down, she deliberately said with a smile: "The person sent by NASA to pick you up and return to the training base has already arrived in the urban area? You are really valued."

Brett followed Zhou Yan's words and said, "You have to know that I have won the first place in NASA's training performance list for three consecutive years."

Zhou Yan raised her forehead exaggeratedly, trying to block the complex emotions flickering in her eyes: "It seems that the gap between you and me is really getting bigger and bigger."

Brett stroked Zhou Yan's long hair: "So, you have to study hard today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day before the final exam."

Gentle force struck from the back of her head, Zhou Yan leaned against Brett's chest, her eyes were no longer covered by her hands, her tears could no longer hide, and all of Brett's shirt was wet.He understood that Brett knew that he couldn't stand parting, and he didn't want to cry in front of strangers, so he told her in advance that he would attend class on time and not see him off.He was ironic, and Brett knew that he couldn't control his sentimentality in this atmosphere, so he used this method to comfort her without tearing her down.

Brett didn't say anything, just stroked Zhou Yan's long hair from top to bottom.

Zhou Yan tried her best to calm down her emotions. She looked up at Brett: "We haven't seen each other for four or five years before, but we have come here like this. Now that I think about it, if I go through it again, it will be unbearable."

Brett raised the corners of his mouth triumphantly: "It means that you love me more and more."

Frowning uncomfortably at Brett's straightforwardness, Zhou Yan approached Brett and said, "What about you?"

The arc of Brett's mouth widened even more: "Of course I do, I love you more and more."

Brett's mobile phone beeped, and Zhou Yan said, "You are leaving."

"Yes." Brett nodded.

The two stood up together, and Zhou Yan picked up Brett's suit and helped him button it.After Zhou Yan completed this set of movements smoothly, she realized that she had developed this habit naturally since she did not know when.

The tailoring of the suit was exquisite, which further enhanced Brett's tall and handsome figure.

Brett raised Zhou Yan's hand: "Don't forget my birthday surprise."

Zhou Yan turned her head and smiled unbearably: "I'm almost not sure if I should use the word 'surprise' to define it like you repeatedly urged me."

Brett pressed Zhou Yan's shoulder: "Believe me, the time to be with you day and night again will not be too far away."

Zhou Yan nodded vigorously, yes, Brett has never slipped a word in every word he said.

The communication channel between Zhou Yan and Brett turned into email again.Because Brett had to catch up with NASA's intensive training as soon as possible, they could not keep in touch frequently. At the end of the month when Brett returned to NASA, Brett wrote Edge's contact information at the end of the email.

Zhou Yan replied: "Ai Ji is so free?" She knew that Ai Ji had to pick up girls and exercise every day in addition to his job. At the same time, when we met last time, Ai Ji said that Ai Ji, who is good at communication and has outstanding abilities, He also serves as a member of various alumni associations and extreme sports associations.

Brett's reply was sent quickly, Zhou Yan clicked on the content, and Brett wrote: "I don't want the situation from a year ago to happen again."

Zhou Yan couldn't help laughing, she really got into a trap and gained a lot of wisdom.

She turned her head and looked out of the window. There was a full moon in the night sky. The higher the floor you lived in, the closer you would feel to the sky.Brett told her popular science that at the same time, the moon scenes seen by people in different places are only related to latitude and longitude.So Zhou Yan deduced that if Brett was also looking up at the sky at this time, then the scene they saw must be almost the same.Such thoughts made Zhou Yan feel better.

At the same time, Zhou Yan thought that among the small crowd, the vows people made when they were young are generally not taken seriously, but the partners she met when she was young have really grown into what she expected at the beginning, Hugh and Michelle Both entered Germany's best universities with honors, Xing Mahao and Carlo still dominate the four-wheel drive field, and Brett is also about to go to space after suffering.

Time seemed extraordinarily lenient to them, even taking into account the diligence of each of them.Zhou Yan withdrew her eyes from looking at the sky, and opened the textbook with a smile.

"Cheers, captain, congratulations." Among the group of people, only Aiji happily clinked glasses with other people's mineral water bottles with Coke.

Brett glanced at Aiji, drinking carbonated drinks in the astronaut's special restaurant, Aiji is too arrogant.

Feeling the captain's eyes, Aiji smiled cheekily: "Captain, why don't you have time to go out for dinner? And we all know that the dining room for astronauts has the highest standard of food."

Joe said: "Also, captain, you don't have to worry about Aggie being kicked out. More than half of the people in this restaurant know him."

Brett saw that it was exactly as Joe said, those newly promoted Astros reservists who passed by their tables from time to time, even he thought they were unfamiliar, all greeted Edgee familiarly.

Miller said: "Captain, you can rank first in the first month of training, which is really amazing."

Brett replied: "At this time next year, NASA will formally select candidates for the space station. Therefore, I must get No.1 in every test to be sure of being selected."

Miller nodded in conviction.

Brett continued: "I predict that the next theoretical course test may involve content beyond the scope of NASA's astronaut learning, so I hope you can send me some materials."

Aiji let out a long sigh of disappointment: "Captain, I thought you wanted to get together with us because you haven't seen everyone for half a year. We're being passionate again."

Amidst the laughter of others, Brett said with a smile: "You are right, but getting your assistance is also one of my goals."

"By the way, captain, I heard that you went to Tulane University to serve as a special professor of finance and mathematics during the six months of rest here?" Joe asked with interest.

"That's right." Brett's face showed memories, and his expression and voice softened involuntarily. "For me, it was a very unforgettable experience."

Hama said with admiration: "Captain, you used to teach finance and mathematics courses that have nothing to do with aerospace, and now you want to study technical analysis and system support. Do you want to become a living encyclopedia?"

Brett began to think seriously about Hama's proposal: "After my spaceflight is over, I can try hard in the direction you mentioned."
