Lin Yuanshu, a seasoned slacker in the workplace, adhered to the principle that as long as the pharmaceutical factory didn't go bankrupt, she could slack off until the end of time, refusing to ...
Chapter 91 (Ninety-One Chapters) (Transfer)
“Okay, I’ll wait for your reply. As long as you agree to come to my research institute, you won’t need to worry about anything. I’ll help you win over your boss and your teacher. Whether it works out or not, I’ll acknowledge your abilities. I wish you all the best, wherever you are.” Huang Zhongliang said gently, radiating goodwill.
Lin Yuanshu nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you for your recognition, Director Huang, and thank you for making this trip today. I will give this matter serious consideration and will definitely not treat it perfunctorily."
Lin Yuanshu watched as Director Huang left the office, then sat down in her chair and fell into deep thought.
After chatting with Director Huang, her heart completely sided with him, mainly because he seemed to value her highly and was willing to provide her with generous treatment.
As for the First Medical Research Institute, she had only heard that she was to be transferred there, but no one actually came to discuss it with her. Although Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather had mentioned this matter to her, it was still far from being finalized.
The people at the First Research Institute didn't dislike her; they just didn't pay enough attention to her.
Considering the previous help from Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather, she did not immediately agree to Director Huang's suggestion.
Lin Yuanshu didn't ponder for long before leaving the chemical plant. She didn't have much time left and didn't want to go home in the dark, so she had to get to Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather's house as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Chow Tai Fook hadn't closed yet, and the bicycle hadn't been taken away. She rode the bicycle to Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather's house, hoping that he was home instead of sleeping in the laboratory.
When she passed by a grocery store, she bought a pound of steamed egg cake and a pound of cloud cake, both of which are suitable for the elderly, as they are soft, easy to chew and digest.
When Lin Yuanshu arrived at Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather's house, the family was just about to have dinner. Lin Yuanshu stood awkwardly at the door, not expecting that his timing was so unfortunate.
When Zhu Huilan's grandmother saw Lin Yuanshu, she warmly pulled him to the dining table and said with a smile, "You've come at the right time. We haven't started eating yet. Come and eat with us. I stewed some pork ribs tonight, and they smell delicious."
Zhu Huilan's grandfather lowered his head and remained silent. He was unsure how to face Lin Yuanshu. He had confidently promised that she would get into the research institute, but several months had passed and there was still no progress.
Lin Yuanshu originally wanted to say that he had already eaten, but as if Grandma Zhu Huilan knew what Lin Yuanshu wanted to say, she said directly, "Eat some more even if you've already eaten. This stewed pork ribs is my family's secret recipe. No one who has eaten these pork ribs has said anything bad about them. You should try some."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanshu had no choice but to sit down and eat; refusing again would make him seem too distant.
Before the meal, she handed the pastries to Zhu Huilan's maternal grandmother.
Zhu Huilan's grandmother did not accept the pastries. Instead, she frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you last time that you shouldn't be so polite with me? Why bring pastries when you come to my house? It's enough that you're here."
Lin Yuanshu argued vehemently, "You've already made me call you Grandma, how can I not show you some respect! Do you not like your goddaughter?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huilan's grandmother smiled brightly and accepted the pastries from Lin Yuanshu's hand. "Since you've said so, then I'll accept this filial gift from my granddaughter."
Grandma Zhu Huilan placed the pastries on the cabinet next to her, then sat down next to Lin Yuanshu. Afraid that it would be inconvenient for Lin Yuanshu to take the steamed buns, she directly put two white steamed buns in Lin Yuanshu's bowl and said with a smile, "I'm also good at making steamed buns."
Lin Yuanshu took a bite of the steamed bun and praised, "This steamed bun is fragrant and soft, with a sweet wheat aroma. It's delicious."
Zhu Huilan's grandmother said with a smile, "I'm glad you like it. Try the plum-flavored pork ribs."
Lin Yuanshu nodded, her gaze fixed on the ribs. She didn't know if the preserved plum ribs were delicious, but she knew that preserved plum ribs were rare in this era, and some people might never have eaten them in their entire lives.
She picked up a rib and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up instantly. After spitting out the bone, she blurted out, "It's delicious."
The ribs are tender and fall off the bone, with a sweet and sour plum flavor that's perfectly balanced – not too sour, not too sweet.
When she has her own small kitchen in the future, she'll have Zhou Xiangyang make plum-flavored spare ribs with her.
Zhu Huilan's grandmother gave a kind smile, "I love watching you children eat. As long as you enjoy your meal, I'm content."
While eating, Lin Yuanshu provided emotional support to Zhu Huilan's grandmother, making her very happy and keeping her talking to him.
The grandmother's daughters-in-law looked at Lin Yuanshu with admiration. They hadn't expected her to be so eloquent. They also learned a lot from her and now knew how to coax their mothers-in-law.
After finishing his meal, Lin Yuanshu went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then followed Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather into the room.
Lin Yuanshu looked apologetically at Zhu Huilan's grandfather and spoke first: "Today, Director Huang from the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute came to see me and asked if I would like to work at the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute. He is willing to offer..."
Lin Yuanshu recounted her conversation with Director Huang to Zhu Huilan's grandfather in its entirety. She also played a little trick by not asking about the First Research Institute, but instead directly mentioning the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
She knew that Zhu Huilan's grandfather was a good person, but unfortunately she couldn't trust others wholeheartedly and always carried a bit of suspicion.
When Zhu Huilan's grandfather heard Lin Yuanshu's words, he felt regretful but also relieved. It was normal for Lin Yuanshu to be noticed by other research institutes, given his talent.
Especially after she appeared in the newspapers, her fame rose even higher, and now most research institutes in Beijing should know who Lin Yuanshu is.
Unfortunately, he was not destined to be Lin Yuanshu's teacher. If Director Yu had taken a liking to Lin Yuanshu, he would never have allowed Lin Yuanshu to go to another research institute.
However, it's hard to say what Director Yu's attitude is towards Lin Yuanshu right now, and Team Leader Bai doesn't want Lin Yuanshu to enter the research institute either. If they force Lin Yuanshu to enter the research institute, some bad things might happen. So it would be better to let Lin Yuanshu go to other research institutes.
“Since the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute has offered such generous benefits, you can definitely join the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute. You don’t need to care about my opinion. In my eyes, as long as you can work in the research institute, then I’ll say I haven’t taught you in vain. As long as you can make the most of your talents, it doesn’t matter which research institute it is,” Zhu Huilan’s grandfather said slowly.
Lin Yuanshu nodded. She could see the disappointment in Zhu Huilan's grandfather. After hesitating for a while, she said softly, "If the First Research Institute can also provide the same preferential treatment as the Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute, I don't necessarily have to go to the Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute."
Zhu Huilan's grandfather looked troubled. Of the three preferential treatments, he couldn't even accept the first one, which was to become an assistant researcher. Although Director Yu hadn't told him about his plans, he had heard Team Leader Lü mention that Director Yu intended to have Lin Yuanshu start as an intern.
He explained tactfully, "The First Research Institute is quite different from the Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute. There are quite a few researchers with strong work abilities here. The college graduates assigned to the institute a few years ago could not be responsible for small projects. Director Yu is quite conservative in terms of preferential treatment."
Lin Yuanshu pursed her lips. What Zhu Huilan's grandfather meant was that it was impossible, so there was nothing she could do. She said with great regret, "I really wanted to get into the First Research Institute, but no one from the First Research Institute has contacted me. I can't keep waiting for the First Research Institute's arrangements. I'm so sorry I can't call you 'teacher' anymore."
Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather shook his head and said with a smile, "Even if you can't get into the First Research Institute, you'll still be my student. Once you're in the Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute, just say you're my student to avoid any fools bullying you."
Lin Yuanshu gave a sweet smile and shouted, "Teacher!"
Zhu Huilan's grandfather said softly, "Well, now that you know my address, if you encounter any difficulties in your research, just come to me. Three heads are better than one. I can't say I'm that great, but I can at least offer you some different ideas."
Lin Yuanshu readily agreed, "No problem."
After the two had discussed the matter, Lin Yuanshu prepared to leave Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather's house.
Grandma Zhu Huilan held Lin Yuanshu's hand reluctantly and asked, "Did you like the beef sauce I gave you before?"
Lin Yuanshu nodded and praised without hesitation, "It's delicious. It goes well with both rice and steamed buns. It truly lives up to its reputation as your family's secret recipe."
After hearing Lin Yuanshu's words, Zhu Huilan's grandmother took out a jar of beef sauce from the kitchen and said with great interest, "This is beef sauce that I just made recently. Take it home and eat it."
Zhu Huilan's grandfather said, "Since this is a gift from your teacher's wife, you can accept it without worry!"
Grandma Zhu Huilan stuffed the beef sauce into Lin Yuanshu's hand, glared at Grandpa Zhu Huilan, and said disapprovingly, "Don't call me 'Teacher's Wife,' just call me 'Grandma.' Calling me 'Grandma' is more intimate. I'll talk to your teacher separately."
Lin Yuanshu couldn't help but smile. Grandma Zhu Huilan was truly a wonderful person. She readily agreed, "Okay, I know how to address her now."
When Lin Yuanshu left Zhu Huilan's maternal grandmother's house, the sun had already sunk below the horizon, but there was still a trace of orange-red glow in the western sky.
She rode her bicycle, the wind blowing in her eyes, as she chased after that sliver of orange-red sunset light.
As soon as Lin Yuanshu arrived home, Zhou Dafu asked, "Where did you go? We were planning to go out for barbecue tonight to celebrate your appearance in the newspaper, but we couldn't find you anywhere. You even rode your bicycle away. Aunt Wen and the others came over specifically to congratulate you..."
Lin Yuanshu explained, "I didn't mean to avoid you. I went to Zhu Huilan's maternal grandmother's house. I need to see Zhu Huilan's maternal grandfather about something."
"What is it?" Zhou Dafu pressed for details.
Lin Yuanshu replied ambiguously, "It's important business."
She wouldn't tell anyone about this beforehand unless everything was already settled, and Zhou Xiangyang wasn't included in that.
Chow Tai Fook: "..."
Okay! He figured it out; Lin Yuanshu just didn't want to talk about it!
“Although your current position is similar to mine, you may be promoted in a while. I won’t interfere much in your affairs. You can handle things yourself. You should know what you can and cannot do…” Zhou Dafu lectured in a serious tone.
"Of course I know," Lin Yuanshu replied dismissively.
Her father-in-law, as always, loved to preach; a dwarf in action, a giant in words.
When Zhou Ma saw the beef sauce in Lin Yuanshu's hand, her eyes lit up. She immediately walked over and prepared to take the beef sauce from Lin Yuanshu.
Lin Yuanshu quickly took a step back and said with a smile, "Mom, this sauce is quite heavy. I can carry it myself. Don't bother me. I've been busy all day, so I'll go back to my room to rest first. I won't disturb you any longer."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Zhou Ma and Zhou Dafu's reply, and went straight back to her room with the beef sauce.
Watching Lin Yuanshu's departing figure, Zhou Ma said angrily, "My second wife is treating us less and less seriously now. Before, she only didn't care about me, but now she doesn't even respect you. It's all your fault."
Zhou Dafu retorted, "How is it my fault? Isn't it because Xiao Er's wife has a very strong personality? Xiangyang can't control her. You carefully selected her to marry, so you have no fault at all?"
He can't do anything about Lin Yuanshu now. After all, Lin Yuanshu has a good relationship with his boss. If he makes things difficult for Lin Yuanshu at home, his boss can make things difficult for him when he's at work. There's always someone who can subdue someone else.
Zhou Ma was also very aggrieved! It was all her friend's fault for lying through her teeth, insisting that Lin Yuanshu was very virtuous, which was why she wanted to marry Lin Yuanshu as her daughter-in-law.
"Yes, it's all my fault. Who told me I wasn't lucky enough to have such a good daughter-in-law? Not only did no one help me when I was trying to get her under my thumb, but they also kept holding me back," Zhou Ma said sarcastically.
Zhou Dafu couldn't help but argue with his mother, "You're a well-known good mother-in-law in the newspapers. How could a good mother-in-law try to control her daughter-in-law? A good daughter-in-law and a good mother-in-law are pretty much the same. One listens to the mother-in-law, and the other listens to the daughter-in-law."
Aunt Zhou stared wide-eyed in disbelief and retorted, "That's not how it is! What nonsense are you talking about..."
The two were arguing louder and louder.
The eldest brother said to Sister-in-law Xue with a helpless look, "If the second wife continues to stay at home, our family will fall apart sooner or later. Before she married into the family, my mother never argued with my father, but now they argue every other day."
Sister-in-law Xue's expression was quite subtle. She felt that it was good for her mother-in-law and father-in-law to quarrel, at least she could vent her anger on her father-in-law instead of being scolded.
"Nothing serious will happen. At most, they'll have a few arguments. The second daughter-in-law won't just stand by and watch them fight," Sister-in-law Xue comforted her.
Hearing this, the eldest brother did not feel comforted. No one wants their parents to quarrel every day. He now desperately wanted Lin Yuanshu to leave the Zhou family so that he could return to the life he had before Lin Yuanshu married into the family.
Zhou's mother couldn't win the argument with Zhou Dafu, so she ran to the neighbor's house across the street to find Li Xiaohua.
Looking at the fuming Zhou Ma, Li Xiaohua cautiously asked, "Did your daughter-in-law upset you again?"
After thinking for a while, Zhou's mother said with a sad face, "I guess so! How could I have ended up with such a daughter-in-law and such a lover? I'm really miserable. No one in that family can understand me."
Li Xiaohua patted Zhou Ma on the shoulder and comforted her, "Take it easy. Comrade Lin Yuanshu will move out sooner or later. Once she moves out, that house will be yours! Just pretend you never had a son like Zhou Xiangyang!"
Zhou Ma couldn't help but smile smugly. "You're right. I just need to be patient for a few more years. With my second daughter-in-law's strong abilities, she'll definitely be allocated a house soon."
Li Xiaohua said with relief, "It's good that you think this way. If you try to deal with Comrade Lin Yuanshu now, it's like an egg hitting a rock. She's a great contributor to the chemical plant now, and the neighbors are all on her side. If you make a big fuss, you'll be the one who suffers. Besides, you're not without any benefits. At least the newspapers say you're a good mother-in-law."
Zhou Ma muttered under her breath, "I got that myself. If I hadn't gone to chat with the reporter, I don't know how my second daughter-in-law would have talked about me in front of the reporter!"
"You're overthinking it. Comrade Lin Yuanshu loves to put on airs, so she definitely wouldn't say anything bad about you," Li Xiaohua said seriously.
Zhou Ma: "..."
Although Sister Ahua was right, it still felt unsettling. In the entire tenement building, only she and Sister Ahua were truly sensible; everyone else had been deceived by Lin Yuanshu.
"By the way, I'm planning to move out of this tenement building soon. My husband and son just don't get along, and it's hard for me to stay here any longer. No matter who I side with, I can't bear to leave." After hesitating for a long time, Li Xiaohua finally said it.
Zhou Ma was stunned for a moment. She had known this day would come, but when it actually arrived, she was still a little sad. "So soon!"
Li Xiaohua gave a helpless look and said slowly, "I've been married for more than half a year now, so you don't need to miss me. Anyway, I still live in Beijing, and my new home isn't far from here. It only takes half an hour to walk here, and it's even faster by bicycle. You can come and visit me anytime you want."
Zhou's mother smiled with difficulty, forcing back tears, and said, "That's wonderful! I'll definitely come over to play with you. Oh dear! It's so late, I'll head back now. We'll continue our chat tomorrow."
"good."
Li Xiaohua saw Zhou Ma to the door.
Watching Zhou Ma's departing figure, she felt a mix of emotions. Ma Long gently put his arm around Li Xiaohua's waist, pulled her closer to him, and whispered comfortingly, "All good things must come to an end."
Quanmin sneered in the living room, making sarcastic remarks, "You make it sound so easy. If it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have left the tenement building, let alone separated from her old friends."
Li Xiaohua's initial sadness vanished instantly. She quickly pulled Ma Long back into the room, not wanting to see the two of them arguing again.
Zhu Huilan looked at Quanmin with a helpless expression. Since ancient times, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have been enemies. She could see that her stepfather-in-law and son were not much better off. Fortunately, she only needed to endure it for a while longer.
The most important thing in life is to dare to think and act. Although the idea of marrying your mother-in-law is a bit immoral, it's really satisfying. It makes your mother-in-law willingly not live with you.
Dejected, Zhou Ma returned to her room and went to bed without saying a word.
Seeing his mother looking so listless, Zhou Dafu put down his newspaper and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you go to see Li Xiaohua across the street? Why are you in an even worse mood?"
With red eyes and a hint of tears in her eyes, Aunt Zhou said, "Sister Ahua is moving out..."
Zhou Dafu rubbed his temples and patiently comforted him, "Is it really worth being so upset over such a small thing? At worst, I'll ride my bicycle to take you to Li Xiaohua's new home. Don't cry."
Aunt Zhou said softly, "Mm."
The people I disliked didn't leave, but the people I liked are leaving.
Life is truly unpredictable; you never know what will happen next.
Meanwhile, after returning to his room, Lin Yuanshu told Zhou Xiangyang about the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
Zhou Xiangyang gave a thumbs up, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He said excitedly, "You're really amazing. Now both research institutes want you to work for them. Which institute do you want to go to?"
Lin Yuanshu said confidently, "Of course it's the Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute. Then we'll have our own home, and you can work in the institute's cafeteria. We won't have to be separated."
Although she didn't know what the First Research Institute thought of her now, she knew from her conversation with Zhu Huilan's grandfather that she didn't receive any preferential treatment at the First Research Institute.
Zhou Xiangyang asked excitedly, "Really? Can I really work at the research institute?"
Lin Yuanshu said with some surprise, "Of course it's true, I wouldn't lie to you. But I didn't expect you to like working at the research institute so much."
Zhou Xiangyang shook his head and explained, "I'm just excited to continue working in the same unit as you. Whether it's in the chemical plant or the research institute, it doesn't make much difference to me. We'll be cooking in the cafeteria anyway. Even though we can't work in the same department, I can still hear about you in the cafeteria."
Lin Yuanshu gave a bright smile, "Okay, then I'll choose Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute."
Zhou Xiangyang nodded frantically; he didn't want to be separated from his wife.
The next morning, Lin Yuanshu left home without even having breakfast.
Zhou Ma was making breakfast in the corridor when she saw Lin Yuanshu rush out in a hurry. She asked Zhou Xiangyang in confusion, "What's wrong with your wife? This is the first time I've seen her get up so early to go to work. She never got up this early, even when she was working overtime every day."
Zhou Xiangyang lowered his head and said softly, "I don't know. You could have asked my wife!"
Zhou Ma frowned and muttered, "You're asking for it, wanting me to loosen your skin?"
Zhou Xiangyang chose to keep quiet. If Zhou's mother weren't his mother, he would have "rebelled" long ago. Unfortunately, Zhou's mother was his mother, so he could only silently endure it.
Zhou Ma didn't dwell on the matter any further. After all, it was none of her business. Lin Yuanshu was much smarter than her; he wouldn't be courting death.
Lin Yuanshu rode his bicycle to the Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute. The tenement building was neither too close nor too far from the Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute; it would take about 40 minutes by bicycle.
Because Director Huang had spoken to the security guard about Lin Yuanshu, the security guard didn't make things difficult for Lin Yuanshu. After confirming that Lin Yuanshu's identification was valid, the security guard personally took Lin Yuanshu to Director Huang's office.
Director Huang had just started work and was surprised to see Lin Yuanshu so early in the morning. He thought he would only get a reply after get off work in the evening.
Director Huang was about to ask his secretary to pour tea for Lin Yuanshu when Lin Yuanshu quickly stopped him, saying, "I don't like drinking water outside, don't bother."
Director Huang readily agreed, "Sure, as long as you don't feel the hospitality is inadequate."
Lin Yuanshu smiled slightly and teased, "When you came to my office, you still didn't get any water. You didn't feel that I was being poorly treated then, and I don't feel that I'm being poorly treated now either."
Director Huang smiled and said, "That's good. What's your decision?"
Lin Yuanshu took a deep breath and agreed, "I'm willing to come to the Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute, but I hope you can keep your promise to me."
Director Huang gave a bright smile and patted his chest to assure you, "Of course there's no problem. As long as you're willing to come to our research institute, those are all minor issues. However, you may have to wait a few months regarding the apartment building, as it hasn't been topped out yet. If you're in a hurry to move in, I can also allocate you an apartment in a tenement building."
Lin Yuanshu quickly refused, saying, "No, I'd rather wait for an apartment in an apartment building. I can continue living at my in-laws' house. Anyway, we have bicycles, so going to work isn't too much of a hassle."
“Alright, then it’s settled. I’ll go with you to the Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant first to complete the necessary procedures for the transfer with Director Qian. Once the chemical plant’s production area is renovated next month, you can start working at our research institute.” Director Huang said as he prepared to walk out of the office. He never liked to procrastinate.
Lin Yuanshu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Director Huang to be so decisive. She didn't object. The ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her in-laws eventually, and this matter will eventually be exposed.
Although she never intended to stay at Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant in the first place, and was originally planning to go to the pharmaceutical factory, she met Deputy Director Lu and made up her mind to stay at Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant. Now she is going to the research institute.
It's true what they say: sometimes you try to plant flowers but they don't bloom, while sometimes you plant willows without thinking and they thrive. Every event unfolds in a way that's a bit unexpected.
Director Huang went to Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant in a car, but Lin Yuanshu did not choose to ride with Director Huang in the car. Instead, he rode his bicycle to work.
Let's let Director Huang's bullet fly outside for a while!
This also helps Director Qian calm down.
After arriving at the chemical plant by bicycle, Lin Yuanshu first went to the production workshop to sign in, and then went straight to Director Qian's office. She felt that such a big thing had happened, and Director Qian couldn't possibly not ask her a few questions. Rather than waiting for Director Qian's secretary to come and invite her, she might as well take the initiative herself.
The secretary, all smiles, ushered Lin Yuanshu into the office. Lin Yuanshu awkwardly rubbed his nose and asked Director Qian, "Has Director Huang left?"
Factory Director Qian sighed heavily, "I told him to go back for now and come back after lunch."
Lin Yuanshu nodded, looking apologetic, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to leave the factory either, but I want to focus on drug research and not worry about other things. The research institute is a good opportunity for me, and I really can't give it up."
Factory Director Qian smiled with satisfaction. After spending this time together, Lin Yuanshu had finally started to trust him a little and wouldn't continue saying things against his conscience.
He said slowly, "Since you're willing to tell me the truth, there's no point in me stopping you anymore. Although I'm reluctant to let you go, I know that it would be a waste of your talents for you to stay here. No matter how good the factory's laboratory is, it can't compare to the research institute's laboratory. If you're unhappy at the research institute, just tell me. There will always be a place for you at the factory."
"Thank you. I've had a very pleasant time with you," Lin Yuanshu said earnestly.
Factory Director Qian sighed inwardly. Such outstanding talent was about to leave Hongguang Dye Chemical Plant—no, it should be Hongguang Pharmaceutical Plant.
They weren't poached by chemical plants or pharmaceutical factories, but unexpectedly, they were poached by research institutes.
Although reluctant, they understood that Lin Yuanshu would be able to better utilize his abilities and develop better medicines after going to the research institute.
After leaving Director Qian's office, Lin Yuanshu went straight to Deputy Director Mao's office and told him that he would be going to the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute next month.
After listening, Deputy Factory Director Mao frowned and asked, "Why don't you go to the First Research Institute? I remember you had a good relationship with Director Yu and others. Do you dislike the First Research Institute? Or is it because your former pharmaceutical teacher is now at the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute?"
When she learned that Lin Yuanshu had made significant improvements to the sulfadiazine production process, she knew that Lin Yuanshu would eventually go to the research institute and the factory couldn't keep her.
She just didn't expect Lin Yuanshu to go to the Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute. Lin Yuanshu clearly had a deeper connection with the First Research Institute and had no connection with the Dongfanghong Medical Research Institute!
Lin Yuanshu cleared his throat and said helplessly, "Deputy Factory Director Mao, I am glad that you appreciate my work ability, but not everyone recognizes my ability. Of course I like the First Research Institute, but my current ability is not good enough for the First Research Institute."
Deputy Factory Director Mao stared wide-eyed in disbelief, cursing, "How could you possibly be unworthy of the First Research Institute? Your improved sulfadiazine production process is far superior to the one improved by the First Research Institute. Even if you haven't systematically studied pharmaceutical knowledge, you have innovative abilities! Old Yu pretends to treat men and women equally, but deep down he looks down on women, thinking they can't do great things. Otherwise, A-Zhu wouldn't be unable to go to work..."
Lin Yuanshu watched helplessly as the topic shifted from his upcoming trip to the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute to criticizing the director's actions.
After giving Director Yu a good scolding, Deputy Factory Director Mao felt much better. In her eyes, it was all Director Yu's fault for ruining her friend's life.
“Going to the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute is a good idea. At least they will value you more. The First Research Institute is nothing special. They don’t take you seriously, so you don’t need to take them seriously either. After you go to the Dongfanghong Pharmaceutical Research Institute, work hard and don’t embarrass the factory. Even if you were transferred from the factory, you are no worse than others,” Deputy Factory Director Mao encouraged.
Lin Yuanshu gave a bright smile and said softly, "Yes, I will not let you down."
After obtaining the consent of Director Qian and Deputy Director Mao, Lin Yuanshu returned to his office to continue working.
Fortunately, the matter was approved smoothly by Director Qian and Deputy Director Mao. Although she could still go to the research institute without their approval, she did not want to argue with Director Qian and Deputy Director Mao because she wanted to leave herself a way out.
