Jiang Wanqing's attack power was too strong, and those people had something to hide, so they scattered and fled immediately. Only Wang Yan was still unable to break free.
"Let me go! If you dare lay a finger on me, my dad will never let you get away with it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wanqing raised her hand, and just as the slap was about to land on her face, Wang Yan turned her face away and closed her eyes.
But all they did was fix her hair, turn her chin around, and force her to look directly at them.
"Comrade Wang, I warned you long ago, but you insisted on walking into the line of fire. You're both incompetent and playful. Who taught you that? Your old fox father? It's a pity that although he's cunning and calculating, he seems to be clueless. No wonder a man in his sixties or seventies can only act as a local tyrant in this small research institute, throwing his weight around. In the end, a good-for-nothing fathered a good-for-nothing son. With his meager abilities, he built this den of good-for-nothings. How laughable!"
After saying that, Jiang Wanqing forcefully pushed Wang Yan away. Wang Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and her words undoubtedly struck at everyone.
This was the first time Wang Yan had ever heard someone belittle her father so terribly. If she weren't afraid of losing the fight, she would have definitely rushed up and started a big fight. Instead, she glared at him for so long, only managing to send out a few harmless glares.
"Jiang Wanqing! You dare to insult my father? He won't let you get away with this. Don't be so smug. This isn't your territory. You won't be arrogant for long! If you know what's good for you, you'd better keep a low profile, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Jiang Wanqing approached aggressively. "Otherwise you're going to complain to the Cheng family again? Or resort to underhanded tricks? Don't you know you're even dumber than your father? You have no self-awareness about your own abilities, and the consequence will be a terrible fall. It's not certain who will let whom off the hook. Go back and tell your good-for-nothing father to be careful lately, he's coming to take care of him!"
Jiang Wanqing felt much better after venting all the dirty tricks she had suffered these past two days. She took two steps back, clapped her hands in disgust, and watched Wang Yan flee in terror, then let out a mocking laugh.
Just as she was about to take a step, a hand landed on her shoulder, and Xiao Wei walked up to her with a strange expression.
"Comrade Jiang, I saw everything just now. I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to remind you, isn't this a bit too ostentatious? What if we really push them to the edge..."
"Thank you for the reminder, Comrade Xiao. It's better to push them to the edge. A cornered dog will jump over the wall and cause trouble. Then we can shut the door and beat the dog. That's just right."
Swallowing hard, Xiao Wei didn't know what to say, but she still whispered a piece of information she knew to her.
"This morning, Comrade Cheng and I are both attending a meeting at the institute regarding this year's entry assessment. If you really want to get involved in this matter, it won't be so easy. That's all I have to say. You'd better think carefully."
"Okay, I understand."
In her opinion, Xiao Wei was a good person, but she was also timid and afraid of trouble. But so be it, as long as she didn't betray herself and chose to protect herself and stay out of trouble, it was understandable and Jiang Wanqing smiled.
Perhaps because of the meeting, or perhaps because everyone knew about the recent major changes in the institute, most people were very well-behaved. They either greeted Jiang Wanqing politely or avoided her. No one dared to provoke her. Everything was strangely harmonious.
She arrived at the lab, where Hu Yu and Zhao Qing were already working. The two were very serious and fully engaged in their work, only snapping out of their daze when she got closer.
"Sister Wanqing, you're finally back!"
"Hmm, how have you been these past few days? Have you encountered any difficulties? Has anyone been giving you a hard time?"
After spending some time together, Zhao Qing completely treated her like an older sister and stopped calling her "Comrade Jiang" all the time.
"It's great. It's just that someone tried to steal our research results, but they were helpless within two hours of taking them and gave them back to us. Sister Wanqing, what you taught us really shows that others can't easily take it away."
Hu Yu's eyes sparkled; the little boy's eyes were full of admiration, and he had completely become Jiang Wanqing's little fangirl.
She couldn't help but smile: "It's good that we haven't encountered any difficulties. Let's continue with the work we didn't finish before."
She first checked Hu Yu and Zhao Qing's progress over the past few days, and nodded in satisfaction, her appreciation evident.
"Sister Wanqing, if I may ask, where have you been these past two days? Have you taken care of everything? Is it related to the Wang family?"
Zhao Qing's way of addressing Wang Duo had changed from the respectful "Director Wang" to "Mr. Wang," and Jiang Wanqing just twitched her lips.
"Everything has been taken care of. They think they can bring me down? Not so easy. Don't worry, you just focus on the experiments, I'll handle the rest."
"To be honest, Sister Wanqing, there are rumors in the office that this assessment is a confrontation between your two factions and Director Wang's. Everyone is determined to fight for their own interests. There are quite a few people on their side, so you should be prepared."
Hu Yu subconsciously used the word "they," which shows that he was on Jiang Wanqing's side from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't say it outright, she was already very satisfied, at least proving that her time studying under the professor had not been in vain.
"By the way, how's the thing I asked you to do last time? Any progress?"
"Oh, yes, wait a moment, I'll go get the list."
Zhao Qing reacted quickly, immediately ran to the drawer, opened her cabinet, took out a piece of paper covered with names, and handed it to her.
“These are some people that Hu Yu and I have contacted privately who are willing to remain neutral or support you, but… there aren’t many.”
She frowned, looking somewhat troubled. Jiang Wanqing looked at the sparse names on the list, which could be counted on her fingers, and sighed inwardly. There were really very few capable people.
"Thank you. I will use these people as appropriate and will not involve them in the struggle unless necessary. I know you need a completely pure experimental environment. Please tell them that if they encounter any difficulties or problems in the future, they can come to me. I will answer them to the best of my ability and patiently. I only hope that they can break through the bottlenecks caused by themselves and the environment as soon as possible and realize their value in life."
"Okay, Sister Wanqing, we will definitely pass on your message. We believe they will understand your good intentions."
"Okay, let's continue the experiment."
Two days later, Jiang Wanqing needed to give Hu Yu and Zhao Qing feedback on their work and provide guidance for their next experiment. So she spent most of the day on it, even forgetting to eat.
If Cheng Ran hadn't knocked on the lab door, she probably would have completely forgotten about the time.
When Hu Yu opened the door, he found that it was Cheng Ran who came in. He and Zhao Qing exchanged a knowing glance.
"Sister Wanqing, we're going to eat now, so we'll be leaving first."
"good."
She responded, walked out of the laboratory, took off her lab coat, and followed Cheng Ran to the lounge.
He naturally took her clothes: "I knew I'd been waiting for you for so long and hadn't seen you. You're still doing experiments. You're working too hard, it's bad for your health."
