Chapter 198 Assistant Good things should be kept for your own people first
When the summer vacation was almost over, Shen Qingzhu heard from Ji Mingxue that Principal Xue Guanlan had returned to the First Military Academy to preside over the upcoming opening of the school.
Thinking that Principal Xue had been "imprisoned" by Ms. Lin Qin, and that this matter was somewhat related to the game she recommended to her, Shen Qingzhu, who felt a little guilty, still asked Principal Xue to come out for a meeting, wanting to see if she was really okay.
Principal Xue did not refuse.
After arriving at the box on time, as soon as she saw Principal Xue, Shen Qingzhu immediately noticed two obvious changes in her.
First, her spirit and energy were much better than last time, and her whole body was radiant. Although she was still calm and sharp, the aura around her was moderate and peaceful, without the previous depression and frustration.
Even her cheeks were slightly rounder than last time.
It can be seen that Principal Xue lived a pretty comfortable life during the period when he was "forced".
Thinking of this, Shen Qingzhu's worries and guilt immediately dissipated a lot.
The second change is that Principal Xue now has a pure black Alpha suppression ring around his neck.
Sensing Shen Qingzhu's gaze, Principal Xue raised his eyebrows slightly, hooked his index finger around the restraint ring on his neck, and showed it to Shen Qingzhu, "This was personally selected by Lin Qin."
"She put it on me herself this morning."
Although she had been very restrained, Shen Qingzhu could immediately hear the hint of pride in these two sentences, and saw the uncontrollable joy and boasting in Principal Xue's eyes.
Shen Qingzhu: ...
Very good, it seems that he was worried about Principal Xue for nothing.
The last bit of guilt in my heart disappeared in an instant.
Shen Qingzhu smiled and teased, "It seems that your 'self-torture tactic' has worked."
"Congratulations to Principal Xue for getting what he wanted."
Although Xue Guanlan was not good at dealing with emotional issues, she had lived for a hundred years after all, and her skin was as thick as the bulkhead of a warship. She did not feel shy or embarrassed when she heard this.
But she still said seriously, "It's not a self-torture tactic. Doctor Shen, didn't you say that sincerity is the ultimate skill?"
Anyway, with Shen Qingzhu's intelligence, she must have guessed most of what happened between her and Lin Qin. Principal Xue simply opened up and said, "The last time I met you, I was really discouraged and disgusted with myself."
"So after that, I kept avoiding Lin Qin."
"I didn't want to, but I made her angry." Principal Xue touched his nose with a smile.
However, she did not mention that she was forcibly "kidnapped" and "under house arrest" by Lin Qin for half a month. She only said in a gentle tone, "After that, we talked a lot openly."
"I told her about my gaming experience and a lot of my feelings in the game, and I apologized to her."
Although these words were only a few, in fact, when Xue Guanlan really said those to Lin Qin, she felt so heartbroken and guilty that she almost died. Her heart even had physiological spasms several times. If Lin Qin had not treated her in time, Xue Guanlan might have died suddenly.
However, it was too embarrassing. It didn't matter if Lin Qin saw it, but Xue Guanlan would not reveal anything to anyone else.
After that, Xue Guanlan didn't think about starting over with Lin Qin at first, because she really hated herself too much and felt that she was not worthy of Lin Qin at all.
As a result, Lin Qin became furious again. Not only did she scold her, she also "imprisoned" her. After a long time of struggling, she recounted everything that had happened over the years in great detail, and both of them had their hearts cut open. Only then could they finally embrace each other peacefully and happily like they do now.
“Thank you, Dr. Shen.”
Xue Guanlan said sincerely.
To be honest, although Shen Qingzhu is not yet twenty years old and much younger than Xue Guanlan's daughter, Xue Guanlan still feels that asking Shen Qingzhu for help with her relationship problems is definitely the best thing she has done in these years.
Shen Qingzhu was embarrassed for a moment, and said shyly, "Actually, I didn't do anything. You make me feel guilty for saying that."
A smile appeared in Xue Guanlan's eyes, but she did not argue with Shen Qingzhu about business, because she could see that Shen Qingzhu was telling the truth.
Shen Qingzhu looked at her cheerful expression and felt really happy for this friend regardless of age difference.
Since they were friends, Shen Qingzhu naturally had to remind her, "Principal Xue, it's good that you can empathize with Principal Lin's suffering and feel sorry for her experience, but even if you have had the same or similar experiences, people are different."
“Everyone is an individual and handles problems differently.”
“Sometimes, taking things for granted can backfire.”
This statement was actually a bit vague. If Shen Qingzhu had said this when they met last time, Xue Guanlan would definitely be confused.
But now, Xue Guanlan understood it immediately——
Shen Qingzhu was reminding her not to take it for granted that her feelings in the game were Lin Qin's own feelings just because she had played the game and experienced Lin Qin's life.
Just like how she had repeatedly replayed Lin Qin's experience of giving birth and the months after giving birth because of guilt before. She was almost tormented by heartache, guilt, self-blame, and tremendous pressure from others and society, and almost fell into "postpartum depression". She felt completely dejected.
But in fact, Lin Qin, who had experienced the same things back then, did not fall into despair. Instead, she quickly began to save herself. Not only did she divorce her resolutely, she also left everything including her and the children behind and went directly to the front line of the Expeditionary Force, continuing on the road of striving for her ideals.
Some time ago, Xue Guanlan apologized to Lin Qin with great heartache, and felt that Lin Qin was too pitiful back then. Lin Qin picked her up and scolded her, saying that she was not so spineless back then and was not as desperate as Xue Guanlan.
Xue Guanlan knew then that he had taken things for granted.
Lin Qin was much stronger than she thought.
She also never needs anyone's heartache or pity.
Because she can overcome all sufferings and win the crown of glory with her own hands.
It was then that Xue Guanlan finally understood what Shen Qingzhu meant by "just treat the other person as a human being like yourself" -
Lin Qin deserves Xue Guanlan's heartfelt respect and admiration.
It has nothing to do with whether she is an Omega, Alpha or Beta.
Precisely because he had personally experienced it, and had even been severely beaten by Lin Qin for it, Xue Guanlan had a particularly deep understanding of these words.
"I've made a note of that." She nodded solemnly.
After the words fell, Xue Guanlan and Shen Qingzhu smiled at each other.
After the atmosphere relaxed, Xue Guanlan couldn't help but tease Shen Qingzhu, "Although Doctor Shen is young, he does have a lot of experience in love. No wonder you and Ji Mingxue have always been so sweet."
Shen Qingzhu's face flushed, but she still smiled openly and said, "It's my first time to fall in love too, but I'm just putting myself in your shoes."
Principal Xue immediately popped up his personal screen, looked like he was taking notes, and asked humbly, "Can you tell me more about it?"
Shen Qingzhu was a little speechless for a moment, and laughed, "I just said it casually. If I have to say something, it's just that I won't force Mingxue to do something I don't like."
Principal Xue nodded and understood, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."
This is easy to say but difficult to do.
After all, most people in this world are strict with others and lenient with themselves.
Just like Alpha and the world have many conventional and ridiculous requirements for Omegas, requiring Omegas to be docile, obedient, and willing to sacrifice themselves.
But if you think about it carefully, if an Alpha makes such a request to another Alpha, it can be considered that the Alpha has a good temper if they don't fight on the spot.
Isn't this blatant double standards?
…
After the personal matters were over, the two quickly got down to business.
As the new school year approaches, Principal Xue is at his busiest. Shen Qingzhu certainly wouldn't ask Principal Xue out for a chat just for the reason of "wanting to see what he's like".
Today he mainly wanted to talk to Principal Xue about the anti-pheromone weapon incident last time.
Although only a month had passed, the project progressed quickly because Shen Qingzhu had made similar potions in his original world.
"Highly effective pheromone blocker?" Xue Guanlan read out the highlighted line of text at the top of Shen Qingzhu's light screen.
Shen Qingzhu nodded, "Not bad."
"There are roughly two ways to make pheromones ineffective. One is to use a technology similar to barrier agents to quickly dilute and cover up the pheromones in the air."
"The other method is to use several substances that can capture pheromone molecules in a targeted manner and accurately engulf all pheromones within a certain range."
"These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages: the first method uses raw materials that are easy to obtain, and if it is mass-produced, the cost can be kept very low, but it does not have a significant effect on higher-grade A-secretase."
"The second method is to precisely deploy S, SS or 3S-level pheromone blockers according to specific circumstances. The disadvantage is that the raw materials are rare, the cost is high, and large-scale production is difficult."
Xue Guanlan pondered, "Can we combine the two?"
Shen Qingzhu smiled, "Of course."
He swiped the light screen downwards and showed Xue Guanlan the current test data and results.
"The military should have instruments that can quickly detect the range and concentration of pheromones on the battlefield. If there ever comes a day when the Empire encounters pheromone weapons, it can decide which anti-pheromone weapon to use based on the information detected."
Xue Guanlan looked carefully for a while and found that Shen Qingzhu had done many control tests based on the pheromone levels when doing the experiment.
Shen Qingzhu has taken into consideration everything from EA to S, 2S, and 3S pheromones, and even the situation where pheromones of different levels are mixed.
Since the soldiers have very good physical fitness and most of them are above level B, they only need to use the cheapest ordinary inhibitor weapons to deal with pheromone weapons below level A.
But starting from Class A pheromone weapons, if you want to keep those Alpha and Beta warriors sane, you must start using advanced and efficient pheromone blockers, that is, hybrid anti-pheromone weapons such as "blocker + engulfing molecule".
Shen Qingzhu has also made such a mixed medicine.
Xue Guanlan looked at the data and results on the screen carefully.
Although he had known that Shen Qingzhu was a genius in pheromone research, otherwise he would not have been able to develop a new type of inhibitor that made all the Omegas in the empire crazy, but seeing with his own eyes that he developed the anti-pheromone drug in just one month still made Xue Guanlan amazed.
“Doctor Shen is amazing.”
After a while, Xue Guanlan sighed and said, "Even if you don't have the 3S gene, you will definitely go down in history in the empire and even in the entire galaxy."
Shen Qingzhu did not comment, because it never mattered to him.
He quickly said to Principal Xue, "I have basically prepared the various levels of barrier agents. Next, I need more practical data to further adjust the agents."
"Also, how to make these barrier agents into weapons, and what kind of weapons to make, still needs you and the military to worry about."
Xue Guanlan nodded, "Of course."
Next, he will further cooperate with Shen Qingzhu’s laboratory in the name of the First Military Academy.
Similar cooperation exists among many colleges and universities on Academy Star, and it is not an exception.
However, Xue Guanlan soon remembered something.
She considered and said, "The military will most likely not take this seriously until they are actually attacked by pheromone weapons."
"If you need more samples, you can ask... that person to try."
She was talking about Ji Mingxue.
After all, the Ji family controls nearly half of the empire's legions.
If we don't go through the military and directly experiment with anti-pheromone drugs within the Ji family's several major legions, it will be faster and more convenient than going through the military, and we can also train soldiers at the same time.
But this cannot be said by the principal of the First Military Academy.
So Xue Guanlan stopped there.
Shen Qingzhu naturally understood what he meant.
Not only Principal Xue could think of this, but Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue had naturally thought of it as well.
It was Ji Mingxue who took the initiative to propose to carry out the practical operation first within the major legions under the control of the Ji family.
Shen Qingzhu did not refuse. After all, good things should be kept for one's own people first.
Shen Qingzhu smiled at Principal Xue and did not continue the topic, but changed the subject to other things.
…
As there are more and more projects on hand, Shen Qingzhu is still a little overwhelmed even with the assistance of bamboo shoots and various smart devices.
After some consideration, Shen Qingzhu quickly recruited an assistant to help him handle the laboratory chores.
In fact, at the beginning Shen Qingzhu had thought about whether to recruit assistants from the imperial university.
But there are no mediocre students who can be admitted to Imperial University, especially those who can be admitted to the School of Information Science. In their senior years, most of them will have their own projects to work on.
In addition, Shen Qingzhu's laboratory has a high level of confidentiality, so he needs someone who has both professional skills and is trustworthy to serve as his assistant.
After thinking it over, Shen Qingzhu simply posted a recruitment information for assistants throughout the academy.
There were many people applying for the job. After all, even without mentioning Shen Qingzhu's amazing achievements in pheromones, just his 3S Alpha genetic level was enough to make countless people want to get close to him.
Besides, Shen Qingzhu is now a top-grade pharmacy master. Although not many people know this news at present, there are still people who have heard the news, and many of them come here for this purpose.
Also, it is said that in another month, Shen Qingzhu will be able to obtain certification as a top-grade medical technician.
This shows that his attainments in pheromone therapy have also reached the pinnacle.
Because of this, many medical students also want to get close to Shen Qingzhu by becoming his assistant.
As a result, Shen Qingzhu's mailbox was soon filled with resumes like snowflakes.
Shen Qingzhu looked inside and saw that there were even seniors who had already graduated, and she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
In the end, I could only screen the bamboo shoots a few times according to my own requirements.
It was not until the school was about to start that the candidate was finally decided.
Shen Qingzhu was not unfamiliar with this candidate. He was his former patient, Yu Tang, who was currently studying at the Royal Omega Academy.
