Looking at Lin Chuchu's everyday clothes, she felt even more jealous.

"Comrade Lin, aren't you married? How come you still spend so much money? Don't your in-laws say anything to you?"

That's so sarcastic. How I spend my money is none of your business.

Lin Chuchu thought to herself, but smiled and said, "These clothes were all made by my mother-in-law. She told me that although I wear research gowns more often, I can't do without everyday clothes."

Many of these clothes were mailed to Lin Chuchu by Mu's mother later, sent to the city, and then picked up by her.

"By the way, my mother-in-law also told me to use the washing machine myself as much as possible, since who knows if other people have bacteria on them, so she sent me the money to buy one myself."

Tang Xin was incredibly jealous. If she dared to spend money like that, her mother would scold her to death, and she would have to hand over half of her salary to the family.

It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. If her mother knew she wanted to buy a washing machine, her first words would definitely be, "Why buy one? You can just hand wash your own clothes!"

"By the way, Comrade Tang, if you want to buy a washing machine, you should do it as soon as possible. It will be difficult to take leave once you get busy in a while."

Seeing her roll her eyes in anger, Lin Chuchu went home with a smile.

Tsk tsk, it's really satisfying to annoy people sometimes.

Lin Chuchu was busy every day, disassembling the computer and recording data. Everyone else in the room was also busy.

However, because Researcher Hou and Researcher Tian were in their office, it wasn't so boring.

That day, there was a knock on the office door. Researcher Tian casually replied, "Come in," and then the door was opened.

Tang Xin entered the office and was furious at the scene before her.

"Lin Chuchu, what are you doing?"

Lin Chuchu's hand trembled as she held the item, causing it to fall to the ground. She looked up blankly at Tang Xin standing at the door.

What did she do?

Tang Xin pointed at Zhou Lichen behind Lin Chuchu and said, "Lin Chuchu, you're a lesbian, how can you get so close to a lesbian? You...you're shameless."

The four people in the room twitched their lips in unison, their faces showing a mixture of emotions.

Lin Chuchu didn't do anything special; she just helped hold things up while they were being installed. Zhou Lichen was right next to her and helped too, so it looked like Lin Chuchu was leaning against Zhou Lichen. But there were also Researcher Tian and Researcher Hou on the other side.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, tools in hand. Researcher Hou, his face dark, said to Tang Xin, "Get out!"

Tang Xin looked at Researcher Hou in disbelief and shouted, "Why are you afraid to let me out? Just because Lin Chuchu did something doesn't mean I can't talk about it? I'm going to talk about it, I want everyone to know what kind of person Lin Chuchu is."

The sound was so loud that everyone outside could hear it.

The doors to several offices were all opened, and a group of senior researchers came out.

The section chief's face turned black with anger. "What are you yelling about? You just asked me to deliver a document? If you don't want to, then get out."

Tang Xin's face showed an expression of disbelief, followed by a look of grievance.

"Section Chief, it's not my fault, it's Lin Chuchu, Lin Chuchu seduced..."

Before she could finish speaking, the section chief immediately understood what Tang Xin meant and exchanged glances with the other senior researchers.

Relieved when I reached the door and saw the scene inside.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you see they were installing something? If that's the case, then all the women in the army are involved in flirting, right?"

Besides, with so many people in the office, how could they not do things well? Lin Chuchu isn't that kind of person!

Seeing that the installation was complete, Lin Chuchu put her hands down without them falling. She slowly stood up and patted the dust off her palms.

Looking at Tang Xin with icy eyes, he said, "Oh, you're really clever. As expected, your heart sees everything as dirty. Instead of wasting your time, you should study your own work and improve your skills. You're not even a formal assistant yet."

She should give some advice to the leader in the future: don't just focus on the political background check for new recruits, also investigate their character.

Don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Researcher Tian laughed even more unrestrainedly.

This was the first time he had realized that Lin Chuchu was so talented.

The first sentence was ironic; it actually meant that Tang Xin was stupid.

To say that Tang Xin is heartless implies that the other party has ulterior motives; she is clearly eyeing single men, but likes to falsely accuse others.

The third sentence completely criticizes her professional skills, reminding her that she is just a temporary assistant.

Tang Xin was surprised by Lin Chuchu's bluntness and her face immediately turned red.

"Lin Chuchu, do you dare say you didn't..."

“I swear, if I had any feelings for other men, may I die a horrible death. We were just working together.”

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Chuchu raised three fingers and swore an oath.

"Can you swear you don't have any other feelings for him?"

All eyes turned to Tang Xin, who was speechless for a moment.

How could she dare to swear? She did have feelings for Zhou Lichen, wanted to date him, build a revolutionary friendship with him, and eventually marry him.

However, being a girl, she was reserved. She had hinted and suggested to Zhou Lichen many times, but he ignored her completely.

Her blushing face said it all.

Zhou Lichen's face darkened. He expressed his innocence, saying that he was working hard for his country and had not considered personal matters at all.

He rolled his eyes at Lin Chuchu. Why bring him up out of the blue?

The section chief glared at her and said to Lin Chuchu and the other three, "Come to my office with me."

The group went to the office, but instead of being scolded as Tang Xin had expected, the section chief kindly asked the four about the progress of their research.
