"Shut up! Get out!"

Jiang Wanqing didn't have time to argue with them. Fortunately, there were one or two people among them who wanted to learn from her. They exchanged glances and escorted Zhang Wei out.

Back in the lab, it was quiet. The two approached Jiang Wanqing and greeted her respectfully.

"Comrade Jiang, we... want to learn from you."

A man and a woman. The man wore glasses and was very refined and handsome. The woman had braids, a healthy wheat-colored complexion, and wore a tan.

What are your names?

"My name is Hu Yu, and her name is Zhao Qing."

"Okay, come help me."

"Okay!"

Two people remained, hesitant, looking at each other, and in the end, without saying anything, they silently surrounded them and began to help.

After Jiang Wanqing finished the experiment, she immediately produced the data and progress results for that day, which were exactly the research that Zhang Wei had been working on for three years without success.

When it was noon, she took off her lab coat and went outside.

"I'm going to eat. We'll continue this afternoon."

Hu Yu and Zhao Qing responded and picked up the notes she had made. After reading them, their mouths gaped open, and they practically stared at the contents.

"That's terrifying, how could she be so nonchalant... No wonder..."

"Zhao Qing, it seems like we've seen a glimmer of hope."

"Um!"

The other two scoffed, invited each other to go out to eat, and left two disdainful remarks before departing.

"So what if you're amazing? I advise you to stop being idealists, just get by honestly, and choosing the right side is much more important than learning the right things!"

Zhao Qing wanted to argue, but Hu Yu stopped her, shook his head, and patiently comforted her.

"Don't worry, I believe that this world still values ​​ability. Comrade Jiang has achieved in such a short time what those useless people took years to accomplish. As long as we learn from her, even if we can't stay in the institute, we can still find other opportunities to make our mark. Moreover, I think Comrade Jiang's background is not to be trifled with. Besides Elder Lin, she must have other powerful people backing her up."

"Comrade Jiang, you must hold on..." Zhao Qing muttered, nervously clenching her hands.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wanqing went to Cheng Ran's office to find him, and as if he knew she would come, he got up as soon as the door opened.

"It happened a little earlier than I expected. I didn't come to see you because I was afraid of disturbing your experiment. Did it go smoothly?"

He reached out and caught her, giving her a hug. They had been married for nearly four years, and apart from the two years they were separated and Cheng Ran was mostly in the military, they had only spent half a year together. It was a time when they couldn't get enough of each other's company.

"Well, there was a little hiccup, but overall it went smoothly. Shall we go eat?"

"Okay, I'll take you to a nearby restaurant..."

Jiang Wanqing pressed his hand down and shook her head as she looked at him.

"I'd like to try the food at the institute's cafeteria. Can you take me there?"

Want to eat at the cafeteria?

"Uh-huh."

"That's easy, come on, I'll take you there."

Cheng Ran had enough meal tickets, so she could try everything she wanted to eat without any problem.

The two walked hand in hand to the research institute's cafeteria. At this time, everyone was eating inside, sitting together in twos and threes, familiar with each other.

Two people walked in through the door, which would normally be a trivial matter, but because they were Cheng Ran and Jiang Wanqing, each more impressive than the last, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Some people stopped eating and looked over specifically, and even started discussing it.

"Look, it's Deputy Director Cheng and his wife, Comrade Jiang. They're a perfect match."

"What does it matter if they look good together? In terms of ability, they are both monstrous. Haven't you heard? On Comrade Jiang's first day at the experiment, he gave Zhang Wei a hard time."

"Didn't I hear he's Director Wang's nephew?"

"What I've heard is just hearsay. Even if it's true, Wang Yan was already taught a lesson by Comrade Jiang, let alone a nephew whose story is unknown."

"This Comrade Jiang is really impressive."

Everyone was talking, and the entire cafeteria instantly became lively. Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran calmly went to the window to get their food. They didn't know how many of these messy noises they had heard along the way. They just listened and moved on. Good or bad, they accepted it all. Anyway, one day they would produce results to shut them up!

"Auntie, please give me these two dishes."

When they arrived at the window, Jiang Wanqing pointed to two dishes. Cheng Ran was about to take out the ticket to pay when the lady serving the dishes looked unhappy and arrogant.

"These two dishes are unavailable."

Jiang Wanqing frowned; there was clearly enough food for at least two or three people on the plate…

"Isn't that still a lot? Are you blatantly lying?"

"You say you don't have any, then you don't! Who do you think you are? New here, don't you know the rules? If you don't, then don't eat! You wouldn't understand how to eat here anyway!"

Ha, it's true what they say, a small temple with a lot of evil spirits, a shallow pond with many turtles. Not only is there a lot of trivial trouble in the office, but even the canteen auntie treats people differently based on who they serve. She's probably related to someone.

"What if I want to eat it?"

Jiang Wanqing wasn't going to be intimidated by them. She stood there, emphasizing her words.

"Here are the meal tickets. We only want those two dishes." Cheng Ran handed over the tickets.

The aunt glanced at it, snorted, raised her chin, and held a round spoon in her hand.

"Hmph, even if you have a ticket, I can't give you any. This food has already been reserved for others. You can eat something else; there are vegetables and tofu."

She tapped the two plates next to her with her spoon: bland tofu soup and wilted, yellowed bok choy...

"Aunt Wang, what's wrong?"

Wang Yan's voice came from behind. She was holding a lunchbox and walked over, pushing Jiang Wanqing aside.

"Oh, Comrade Wang, you're here! I saved some food for you. Come on, let me get it for you."

So this dish was saved for her. Jiang Wanqing glanced at her coldly and pressed down on her hand.

"You can't hit this dish today!"

"Jiang Wanqing, what are you trying to do!"

"First come, first served. I ordered this dish first."

"You're really a laughing stock. Didn't you hear that the auntie wouldn't call you? You're new here and instead of humbly learning the rules, you're trying to boss me around. It's hilarious." Wang Yan crossed her arms and looked at Cheng Ran. "Comrade Cheng, you can't let him embarrass you."

"That's right."

He nodded, and Wang Yan thought he agreed with her. Just as she was about to smile, he snatched the cafeteria lady's spoon and scooped up a spoonful of chili peppers to cover the two dishes.

"Those of us who arrived first can't finish it, so you, who arrived later, shouldn't eat either."

"You!" Wang Yan was furious. She slammed the lid on the lunchbox, stomped her foot, and stormed off.

The aunt was stunned when she saw this. Usually, Wang Yan would definitely have started a fight, but this time she just talked and left. These two must be someone important. She immediately smiled ingratiatingly.

"Hehe, comrades, I'm sorry, I..."

“You don’t need to come tomorrow. I will report to the higher-ups and have a new person replace you. I don’t dare let someone who dares to act arrogantly in the cafeteria control our food safety.”

"No...!"

Cheng Ran ignored her pleas and took Jiang Wanqing's hand, leaving.

"Let's go out to eat."
