The first floor of the Institute of Physics of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Exquisite sofas, coffee tables, and cabinets were placed inside a spacious room near the stairway. Rows of books and magazines were stood against the wall on a bookshelf.
When Lu Zhou first designed this research institute, he hoped that his researchers could have a relaxing place to research interesting academic problems. He wanted them to spend an hour or two every afternoon to rest in the lounge, have a cup of coffee, and try to get inspired by talking with other researchers. Just like what he often did back at Princeton.
However, while dreams were beautiful, the reality was cruel.
And it seemed like he was the only one who could enjoy the "pleasure" of research.
