She paused for a moment and then replied, "I didn't go to university. I just read some books because I like studying biology and genes."
That's why I was chosen to work at the research institute, but I'm just an intern assistant.
It turned out to be a menial job.
It goes without saying that someone who hasn't gone to university and was still hired must have connections.
"Does our research institute no longer check academic qualifications for hiring?" Liu Xiaohan wanted to taunt Qian Lai and get back at her best friend.
Her best friend is a top student in a proper undergraduate, master's, and doctoral program at the medical university.
Even if someone who never went to university spent all their time on a university campus, they wouldn't develop the mindset of a top student.
"Want to get into graduate school? What academic qualifications do you need? Building a good personal relationship with us senior graduate students is more powerful than anything else!"
Someone passing by chimed in with a disdainful look.
Qian Lai looked over upon hearing the voice and saw that it was Xiao Fan, Leng Gaoyan's assistant.
When I met their gaze, they clearly rolled their eyes at me, their eyes full of resentment.
Indeed, she was just an intern assistant without a diploma, yet her salary was higher than that of the full-time employees. Anyone in her position would likely feel resentful.
Qian Lai could understand.
Moreover, the system has just issued a 40% progress target reward, so it's not appropriate to be too forceful with a colleague like Xiao Fan who is dissatisfied.
"My academic qualifications are indeed inferior to Assistant Fan's. I hope you will give me more guidance in my work in the future."
However, I didn't get in through personal connections; Assistant Fan certainly knows that better than anyone.
Xiao Fan didn't gain the upper hand verbally, and felt even more resentful.
"Look, look, our new intern is sharp-tongued and quick-witted, who dares to mess with her?"
From now on, we should work more overtime and talk less. Otherwise, we won't have as many connections or as high a salary, and we'll still lose arguments. We'll be a complete failure!
As he spoke, he tapped the rice bowl with his spoon, looking disdainful, and swayed away.
Qian Lai kept his head down and ate, seemingly unaffected by the situation.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly cooled down; everyone lowered their heads to eat, and no one spoke.
Liu Xiaohan, standing to the side, glanced at Tang Jing, then at Hua Cheng, and then at Qian Lai, her anger rising.
"Professor Hua, is Comrade Qian your girlfriend?"
