When she got home, her parents-in-law and the children were all asleep with the lights off. Lin Zhaoyue thought that she must get up early tomorrow to spend some time with the children.

The thermos contained hot water that her mother-in-law had boiled in advance, specially reserved for Lin Zhaoyue to soak her feet.

Soaking your feet before bed will make you sleep more comfortably.

Lin Zhaoyue finished getting ready and went to bed early. Jiang Jingzhou had taken a shower and was still damp. He used to never dry his hair after washing it, but now he had to dry it until it was about 80% dry before going to bed, because he was afraid she would catch a cold.

An arm wrapped around his waist, as if he was deliberately holding back his strength, so it wouldn't be too heavy.

Lin Zhaoyue turned around, buried her head in the man's arms, and found a comfortable position to fall asleep.

No matter how hard she worked during the day, as long as Jiang Jingzhou was with her at night, she could temporarily forget about all that hardship.

I had a good night's sleep.

——

Research lab

Zhang Fuyi knew that Lin Zhaoyue left around 11:30. He repeatedly checked the research and development records of the "Qingxin Pill" and couldn't accept that all his hard work over such a long period of time had been wasted. Besides, he was short of money right now.

“Senior brother…” Li Fengmei called softly. Zhang Fu looked up at her and saw that her eyes were bloodshot and she was extremely exhausted. Her lips were bluish. She looked at her with concern and said, “You haven’t rested much for several days in a row. You should go back to your dormitory and get some sleep. There’s always a solution to the problem. We can ask the professor for help. We’ll solve the problem wherever it is. You don’t need to torture yourself like this. Your health is the most important thing.”

Li Fengmei preferred the senior brother who was always spirited and polite, no matter when she saw him, not Zhang Fuyi in front of her. He was in really bad shape and really needed to rest.

Lin Zhaoyue ruined their plans, so all they could do was curse her in their hearts that she would come to a bad end. Professor Liao protected Lin Zhaoyue, and there was nothing anyone else could do.

They can only blame themselves for having no background or connections. Lin Zhaoyue, that shrew, is probably very pleased with herself right now.

Li Fengmei raised her hand and placed it on his shoulder with a little pressure. "Senior brother? We can always start over. Please don't do this. I'm very worried about you."

Zhang Fu seemed lost in thought and didn't hear what Li Fengmei was saying at all.

He opened his mouth weakly, "What time is it?"

Seeing that he was finally willing to communicate, Li Fengmei quickly said, "It's almost twelve o'clock."

“Another day is about to pass,” Zhang Fuyi thought. After locking himself in the lab for so many days, he felt that every minute and second was so long. He couldn’t accept that all the hard work he had put in for so long was just going to be for nothing. He clenched his fists. “Fengmei, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Qingxin Pill we developed. If anyone is to blame, it’s the patients who took it because they died young. Every drug has side effects. Why couldn’t our Qingxin Pill be successfully developed? It’s not fair.”

“Yes, that’s the right way to think. It’s unfair to begin with. Lin Zhaoyue must have other schemes. The problem isn’t with us.” Li Fengmei said fiercely. “Senior brother, we must have other ways.”

"have."

Zhang Fuyi nodded seriously. Of course there are ways; it's not like this is the only path to take.

"Fengmei, now compile all the research and development information about Qingxin Pills from the entire research institute for me."

As if remembering something, Zhang Fu said urgently, "Quick! Since this place can't accommodate us, I'll find another place."

"Senior brother, I don't quite understand what you mean?"

Li Fengmei was completely confused.

Should we change locations?

Where else can they go?

Zhang Fuyi took a deep breath and looked at her calmly, "Fengmei, I know how you feel about me, and actually, I feel the same way about you..."

Upon hearing this, Li Fengmei blushed with embarrassment, "Senior brother, you..."

"You'll help me, right?"

Zhang Fuyi coaxed, "If you can help me, we can be together after this is successful."

Li Fengmei was tempted.

Without hesitation, she nodded and said, "Okay, senior brother, I support whatever you want to do. I'll go right now."

Zhang Fu's eyes flickered as he watched her busy figure, and the corners of his lips twitched involuntarily.

It's true that those who lack brains are easier to exploit.

Lin Zhaoyue is too smart; he doesn't like her.

No matter how beautiful she is, you can't be with a woman like that.

Li Fengmei finished organizing all the information about "Qingxin Pills" within two hours. "Senior brother, what do we do next?"

"Since Professor Liao thinks that the Qingxin Pill I developed is ineffective, then I will try a different approach. Someone will surely value it."

There are other medical research institutes in the world besides schools, so he has many choices.

Li Fengmei couldn't care less about anything else at the moment; she just followed Zhang Fuyi's orders without thinking.

"..." What Zhang Fuyi needs to do now is go back and get some rest. Only when he is well-rested can he negotiate.

Zhang Tao has been sleeping in her brother's dormitory for the past few days, and she doesn't know what he's been busy with.

He finally came back that evening, his voice urgent as he asked for money, "Brother, have you thought of any way to get the money?"

We can't wait any longer.

She hasn't been back for so long, her mother probably doesn't know how she'll scold her.

Our family urgently needs money right now.

"Don't worry, I'll get all the money back for you tomorrow. Go to sleep first," Zhang Fuyi said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao immediately became happy. "Brother, is it true? That's great! Don't worry, when we get back I'll definitely tell Mom that you're working really hard now and you can't keep asking me for money so often. I'll ask them to understand your difficulties."

"Okay, go to sleep." Difficulties? Haha, if his family truly understood his difficulties, they wouldn't have pushed him to this point.

His mother had a preference for sons over daughters, but he, the eldest son, never experienced any favoritism; on the contrary, his mother preferred his second brother.

This is not hard to understand. Her son has never been close to her since he was a child, while her second son is sweet-talking and knows how to please her.

Zhang Fu closed his eyes to stop thinking about these things; after all, these problems could be solved after tomorrow.

The main purpose of his hard work is to make lots and lots of money.

Even with a high level of education, the amount of money one can earn is still limited.

Zhang Fuyi was not content with the status quo.

In the following days, Lin Zhaoyue did not see Zhang Fuyi and Li Fengmei at the research institute. She heard that they had both asked for leave from the institute, and it was a long leave at that.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were getting married.

The rest of the Qingxin Pill research team are now doing nothing.

Even if you come to the office every day, you're still just sitting around doing nothing.

Before Lin Zhaoyue could prepare the dosage, Professor Liao suddenly told her, "You don't need to continue."

Professor Liao was clearly angry. "Qingxin Pills have been successfully developed and are now on the market. I ask you, who did this? Who leaked the formula?"

“If you have any ideas in private, you can communicate with me directly. If you do something so heinous, the station can call the police!”
