Before this, Professor Bai had actually tried to send other students to Country E for investigation and research, but without exception, no one persisted.
Because the situation in Country E is so complicated and the conditions are so harsh, ordinary people find it difficult to even survive, let alone conduct investigations and research.
At the beginning, Professor Bai did not have high expectations for Lan Xiaolan. He really did not expect that she not only completed all the tasks assigned to her by the institute, but also summarized and organized them into a very representative and reference-worthy document.
Professor Bai felt very relieved when he looked at Lan Xiaolan.
Lan Xiaolan went over and hugged Professor Bai. For her, having such a rare opportunity to study in Country E was a recognition from Professor Bai.
Without the professor's guidance and encouragement, she would not be able to achieve what she is today.
Professor Bai is not only a teacher to Lan Xiaolan, but also a benefactor and a mentor.
Lan Xiaolan looked around at the people around her and suddenly felt like something was missing.
"Professor, why don't I see Senior Sister Wenjuan?"
When Professor Bai heard Hu Wenjuan's name, his face froze, his dark eyes seemed to sink, and he was choked with sobs and unable to speak.
The people around also stopped whispering and looked at Professor Bai's stiff face with embarrassment.
Hu Wenjuan's departure caused a lot of uproar in the institute at the time.
After Lan Xiaolan went to Country E, Hu Wenjuan was the only capable assistant left by Professor Bai.
When Lan Xiaolan was around, Hu Wenjuan always said that Professor Bai was partial, only thinking about Lan Xiaolan in everything, giving Lan Xiaolan more learning opportunities and always letting Lan Xiaolan steal the limelight in front of and behind others.
Later, Lan Xiaolan left and most of her work was handed over to Hu Wenjuan.
At the beginning, Hu Wenjuan was quite proud. She was glad that she was not sent to work in a hellhole like Country E, and she also replaced Lan Xiaolan's position in the research institute.
For Hu Wenjuan, it was a win-win situation.
But...the reality is not as happy as Hu Wenjuan imagined.
In addition to assigning Lan Xiaolan's job to her, Professor Bai also trained her in the same way he had trained Lan Xiaolan in the past.
In addition to her daily work, Professor Bai also insisted on giving her several cultural relics that required extensive repairs, ordering her to complete them within the specified time.
Moreover, during this period, Hu Wenjuan had to personally coordinate and manage several large-scale ancient tomb excavation projects that the institute was responsible for.
Not only that, the professor would give Wu Wenjuan some book lists and historical documents every month, requiring her to complete a certain amount of reading every month and write a reading experience report.
A large pile of things pressed down on Hu Wenjuan, making it difficult for her to breathe.
The most ironic thing is that after doing so much work, her position was only promoted from assistant to deputy director of the institute, and her salary only increased by a pitiful few hundred yuan.
During that period, Hu Wenjuan's heart was like a surging volcano, accumulating layers of magma, ready to erupt at any time and anywhere.
In fact, Professor Bai did not deliberately make things difficult for Hu Wenjuan. On the contrary, since Lan Xiaolan left, Hu Wenjuan was the only proud disciple left by Professor Bai.
She had been with Professor Bai the longest, and by seniority, she was considered the senior sister. Although she had a somewhat impetuous temper, she was also a person of great talent and intelligence.
After Lan Xiaolan and Ren Tingxi got married, Ren Tingxi came to see him specifically. Ren Tingxi told Professor Bai the good news between them, and also blatantly told Professor Bai that he was very eager to have a child with Lan Xiaolan, and hoped that the professor could arrange a relatively easy job for his new wife.
Of course, he knew that Lan Xiaolan was willing to give up the job she loved, so he had no intention of making her a full-time housewife.
So Professor Bai considered it over and over again and decided to introduce Lan Xiaolan to teach at the university.
She does have her own unique insights in the field of archaeology. If Lan Xiaolan can pass on her research results and experience over the years to new students, it would be a perfect result.
Professor Bai has always treated Lan Xiaolan as his own daughter. Although she cannot always stay by his side to work, he is happy to see that Ren Tingxi cares about her so much and is willing to visit her in person for her sake.
Seeing that the young couple was living a good life, Professor Bai agreed to Ren Tingxi's request.
But... things at the research institute were so complicated that Professor Bai was at a loss for a moment.
He is over sixty years old and seems unable to do many things.
In the past, Hu Wenjuan always complained to him that he was partial to Lan Xiaolan. Now that things have come to this point, Professor Bai is willing to give Hu Wenjuan this opportunity.
If his two disciples, one can impart knowledge in the university and the other can inherit his many years of work in the research institute, when he is a hundred years old, he can finally close his eyes in peace.
However, one day, Hu Wenjuan, whom he had carefully taught for more than a year, actually took out a check for one million yuan and put it in front of Professor Bai.
"Professor, I hope you can help me."
Professor Bai was stunned...
"Is there a problem?" When Professor Bai saw the check for one million, he was worried at first. He thought that something had happened to Hu Wenjuan and she was in urgent need of money, so she was so cruel as to leave him.
It's just a mere one million, which is nothing to the knowledgeable Professor Bai.
However, Hu Wenjuan obviously did not understand what Professor Bai meant.
