Chapter 862: Being stood up and caught red-handed (Part 3)
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Fuyue and Xu Kaiqing arrived at Qian Youwen's laboratory on time.
I looked around but didn't see anyone.
Xu Kaiqing grabbed a doctoral student in a white coat and asked, "Where's Professor Qian?"
"There was a problem in the department, and the professor rushed over to deal with it."
Xu Kaiqing frowned, took out his cell phone, turned on the screen and took a look. He didn't receive any message from Qian Youwen, nor did he miss any calls.
Logically speaking, a steady person like Lao Qian would have already made an appointment and would have informed in advance even if he was busy.
"You two have an appointment with the professor at two o'clock, right?"
"Yes, did Lao Qian tell you that?" He said that Lao Qian was not such an unreliable person.
really--
The doctoral student nodded. "This matter is quite complicated and may not be handled in a short time. How about... you two go back first and come back tomorrow?"
Xu Kaiqing frowned: "No! It's urgent! I can't wait!"
The doctoral student looked embarrassed: "But..."
"Well, Lao Qian can go do his thing first, and we'll just wait."
“…No, that’s not good, right?”
Xu Kaiqing sat down on the chair and said, "What's wrong with that? Okay, okay, go and do your work. Don't worry about us."
The doctoral student left in disgrace.
Jiang Fuyue and Xu Kaiqing waited from two o'clock to three o'clock. During the time, Xu Kaiqing called Qian Youwen once, but the other party did not answer.
Xu Kaiqing: "Maybe he's having surgery or in a meeting or something, so it's not convenient to answer. Please wait a little longer."
Jiang Fuyue didn't say anything.
The two waited from three o'clock to four o'clock, but Qian Youwen still didn't come back.
Xu Kaiqing was getting a little impatient and went to find the doctoral student he had met before. "Young man, your professor is in the obstetrics department, right? I'll go find him directly."
The doctoral student's expression changed slightly: "Wait a minute——"
Xu Kaiqing: “?”
"Um—it's like this. With the recent change of seasons, the flu has become quite severe. The inpatient department has been strictly controlled and people can't come and go as they please."
"Is that so?" Xu Kaiqing's brows knitted together, and suddenly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. "Could it be that you just said it casually to fool us?"
"Absolutely not! How would I dare?" The doctoral student looked terrified.
"Then why did you stop me from going to Lao Qian?"
"The professor is really busy. Why would I lie to you? It won't do any good at all... Actually, I personally suggest that you two go back first. It's so late now. I'll definitely see you tomorrow..."
Xu Kaiqing wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Jiang Fuyue.
"She's right. It's four o'clock now. Professor Qian probably won't be back to the lab. Let's come back tomorrow."
That's so reasonable.
After saying that, Jiang Fuyue turned and left.
"Hey, why are you leaving so quickly..." Xu Kaiqing quickly caught up with him, "Wait for me..."
Little did he know that after the two left, the doctoral student breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
"Finally left."
…
Professor Qian’s laboratory is located in the Hongzhi Building of Q University’s School of Medicine, which is only separated from the affiliated hospital by a wall.
We are so close, is it so difficult to take some time to come and see each other?
Jiang Fuyue remained calm as ever, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Anyway, Xu Kaiqing was now full of complaints: "What the hell is this Old Qian doing? He asked us to come over at 2 o'clock, but he disappeared without a trace. He didn't even call or send a single message..."
"I told him it was urgent, but he didn't listen at all and even started to act arrogant..."
"No, I have to call again! Is there something wrong?"
While following Jiang Fuyue, Xu Kaiqing picked up his cell phone, found the contact and dialed the number.
After a long beep, no one answered.
He was a little discouraged, and suddenly a cool breeze hit his face. He subconsciously looked up, only to find that he had followed Jiang Fuyue into a dessert shop where the air conditioning was turned on very high.
"What are you doing here?" He paused.
Jiang Fuyue: "I'm hungry."
Xu Kaiqing: “…”
The two found a seat by the window and sat down. Jiang Fuyue handed over the menu: "The food here is pretty good. Order whatever you want. It's my treat."
Xu Kaiqing swallowed his saliva. Actually, he quite liked sweets...
Two minutes later, Jiang Fuyue was eating durian mille-feuille one spoonful at a time, while Xu Kaiqing was drinking Ceylon black tea with macarons.
Jiang Fuyue glanced at him, especially the cup of tea: "You're quite good at eating."
Experts know that Ceylon black tea, Darjeeling, and smoked Tieguanyin best complement the delicate and elegant taste of macarons.
Xu Kaiqing: "Hehe."
The satisfaction brought by the dessert extinguished the anger in his heart.
By the time I finished eating and came out, I had completely forgotten about being stood up.
"Huh? Mingda is coming this way? Why are you going back?"
Jiang Fuyue did not respond.
"No...if we go any further, we will enter Hongzhi Building!" Xu Kaiqing was a little anxious.
Maybe you ate a durian mille-feuille and were too sweet to be fooled?
Jiang Fuyue: "I just want to go to Hongzhi Building."
"Didn't we just come out of the lab?"
"Yeah, let's go back and take a look. Maybe Professor Qian has already returned?"
Xu Kaiqing was confused.
…
laboratory.
"Are they all gone?"
The doctoral student looked at his advisor walking out of the lounge and nodded quickly: "Let's go."
Qian Youwen nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, you can report to the department next week. You have been studying for so long, it is time to get some hands-on experience."
The doctoral student's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Professor!"
The opportunity he had been trying to get for half a year but couldn't get, he got it just because he helped drive away two people?
Lucky and ironic!
Qian Youwen waved his hand, signaling the student to leave, and then another person who had followed him out of the lounge came to greet him on the sofa: "Old Fu, please sit down! You're welcome. I'm sorry for making you stay in the lounge for so long."
Then he walked to the cabinet, opened the door, turned around and asked, "What would you like to drink? Coffee? Orange juice? Mineral water?"
Fu Zhengxin was sitting on the sofa. Upon hearing this, he smiled and waved his hand: "We are old friends, why are you being so polite?"
Qian Youwen also laughed: "Okay, then let's stick to the old rules, mineral water. Your health level has improved again, here—"
Fu Zhengxin took it and said, "I'm old, but I can't compare to the young people."
Qian Youwen walked over and sat down opposite him. "What's going on between you and Xu Kaiqing? You even came all the way here today to ask me not to provide him with clinical data."
"He and I have nothing to do with each other. Medicine and physics have clear boundaries, and we stay out of each other's way."
"So what about you?"
Fu Zhengxin curled his lips. "What do you think? The news about Shenkewo's special medicine has caused a sensation in the industry. I don't believe you haven't heard anything about it."
Qian Youwen's eyes flashed slightly.
In fact, he guessed it.
Xu Kaiqing asked him for data in order to help Jiang Fuyue.
Jiang Fuyue emerged as a rising star in the first six months of this year, developed the A+ vaccine, and discovered a special medicine, successfully winning the Lasker Award.
But originally the biggest favorite for this award was Fu Zhengxin!
After decades of hard work, from a young man with black hair to an old man with white hair, he was about to succeed, but it was snatched away by a young girl. Who could accept this?
"Why? Do you want to teach her a lesson?"
Fu Zhengxin shook his head: "What you said is not right. It was clearly Hamasaki Kawashima who started the war. The most I could do was...watch the fire from the other side of the river."
Qian Youwen: "But from what Xu Kaiqing said, Jiang Fuyue seems to have found a way to refute Hamasaki Kawashima."
"So what if you find a breakthrough? Don't you have all the clinical data?"
"Oh, so I'm the key figure then?"
Fu Zhengxin looked at him with a relaxed expression. His smile remained unchanged, but his eyes suddenly became stern. "Old Qian, we've been friends for decades. Who doesn't know each other? Don't act like you're just trying to help me. We were all just weeds in the field, but suddenly Jiang Fuyue has become a small sapling. If we don't suppress her now before she grows up, I'm afraid that once she grows up, she will be tall and strong. At a glance, no one will even notice the weeds beside the tree."
"I'm a weed, and you're no exception. We don't have the talent of Jiang Fuyue, and we're not as young as her. If we don't unite and do something now, not only me, but you too, will be outshined by her in the future!"
"So, this isn't just helping me, it's helping yourself as well."
Qian Youwen's mouth corners tightened.
"I didn't expect that the two elders think so highly of me." A clear and indifferent voice came from a distance.
Jiang Fuyue and Xu Kaiqing, who had already left, suddenly appeared. One had a smile that was darker than the eyes, and the other had a face as black as ink.
Qian Youwen was shocked!
Fu Zhengxin was also stunned.
There will be another update at midnight.
