Chapter 550: What bad luck to get bitten by a dog!
After resolving the recruitment issue, Gu Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She returned to the lab and made a list of the equipment needed. If the lab didn't have something, she would have to apply to her superiors. This is how it is in private labs; everything requires an application. Fortunately, she was remembered by her superiors. Some smaller labs, however, might not know when they would be able to get their applications approved.
It's all because of poverty!
With all preparations complete and only waiting for all approvals to be granted, Gu Yin finally had a few days of leisure time.
After that, she went back to attending classes and leaving get out of class as usual. However, because of her previous recruitment efforts, many people in the school knew her.
Before, because of Zhao Mo's incident, only undergraduates knew her. Now she is truly famous throughout the school!
Her fellow freshmen admired and trusted her. After all, no one else could get first place in their major without attending classes! So even though the research topic Gu Yin proposed was very difficult, they felt that as long as she had time, she would definitely succeed.
Conversely, the biggest reactions came from the mentors.
Some mentors not only approached Meng Yu to persuade Gu Yin to study diligently and practically, but also went to Professor Cheng to ask him to keep an eye on her.
The graduate students, on the other hand, remained calm.
Nonsense, they're not calm, they're envious! Undergraduates can start their own research projects! They're still doing odd jobs under professors! Who wouldn't be envious! If they had Gu Yin's resources, they'd easily conduct several experiments and start several research projects!
That day, Gu Yin went to Meng Yu's office to ask about the procedure for requesting leave when she was busy with experiments.
"You're not doing experiments all day. If you're really busy, just tell me, and it'll count as a leave of absence. Otherwise, you might lose your perfect attendance points. This is important, and according to school rules, it doesn't really count as a leave of absence. I'll talk to the principal later. Even if you have to do experiments, don't forget to study the textbook material. You still have to take the final exams. Don't forget, you still have to study the material for your second and third years. If you fail, your graduation will be delayed, and it won't be good for you. You know you're already a 'celebrity' at school! Every move you make is being watched. As a student, you can't make even the slightest mistake, understand?"
Gu Yin nodded: "I know! I've finished reading the textbooks for the first semester of my sophomore year. Before I start the lab, could you please arrange an assessment for me so I can see how I did?"
Meng Yu noted it down: "Okay, wait for me. I'll discuss it with the other teachers. By the way, your senior brother and I are getting our marriage certificates tomorrow, and we'll be having dinner with family and friends tonight. You and the teacher can go together."
Gu Yin asked in surprise, "So soon? Aren't we going to have a wedding?"
Meng Yu chuckled: "We're all this age now, so let's not hold it anymore. Your senior brother would like to, but I think it's too much trouble, so let's just have a meal!"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Okay! The teacher may not be coming to the lab tomorrow. Senior sister, just tell me the time and address, and I'll take a car there!"
Meng Yu thought about it and agreed: "We'll have dinner at the Chu's Hotel at 7 p.m. Just call me when you get there and I'll come out to pick you up!"
Leaving Meng Yu's office, Gu Yin went downstairs and almost bumped into a teacher when she turned the corner on the second floor.
"I'm sorry, teacher!" Gu Yin apologized first.
"It's alright, just be careful when you walk."
Gu Yin nodded, turned around and went downstairs.
I had only gone up a few steps when someone behind me called out to me.
"Are you Zhou Guyin?"
Gu Yin turned around and looked at the male teacher. He was wearing a suit, glasses, and his hair was all combed up. He was a complete stranger to her.
"Yes, teacher, and who are you?"
The man tapped his textbook against his palm and chuckled, "I'm a pharmaceutical professor. I heard you started your own research project, focusing on targeted drugs?"
Gu Yin couldn't figure out what he wanted to say, so she nodded. Anyway, the whole school knew about it.
The man's smile vanished, replaced by a frown. "You're still a freshman. You haven't even grasped the basics of the textbooks, yet you dare to start a research project? Did your teacher do it for you? Anyway, no matter the outcome, as long as you started the project and completed an experiment, you've already gilded your resume. Heh, I know all about these kinds of practices. So, tell me, how much did you pay your teacher? To get Professor Cheng to handle this for you, it must have been quite a sum. I advise you, don't be so blinded by greed at such a young age!"
Gu Yin: "...Who do you think you are, pointing fingers like that? Do you believe I'll sue you for defamation? Making baseless accusations without any evidence? How dare you, with your despicable behavior, mention my teacher? What bad luck! I was just going downstairs and got bitten by a dog, what bad luck! I wonder if it's crazy. I need to get a rabies vaccine right away!"
After Gu Yin finished speaking, she saw that the other person's face had turned dark. She didn't argue with him anymore and quickly went downstairs. She thought it was better to go back and have a meal with her family than waste time like this!
A man's roar came from behind. Gu Yin also heard someone ask him what was wrong, but she figured the other person wouldn't dare to say what he had just said. After all, it involved Cheng Dong. If he said in front of everyone that Gu Yin admired him, he would be a despicable person!
After returning home and having lunch, Gu Yin had no classes in the afternoon, a rare moment of relaxation. She went to the commercial street to find Li Mengxin and see how their shop renovation was going.
When Gu Yin arrived at the store, she saw the workers delivering the green plants, and everyone was moving them around.
Gu Yin stepped forward to help.
They were stopped by the workers.
Gu Yin laughed and said, "It's alright, I'm strong!"
Li Mengxin and Li Xiang knew she was strong, so they didn't stop her.
"Don't you have classes today? What brings you here?"
As Gu Yin moved the items, she said, "I came over this afternoon because I didn't have class. My teacher got her marriage certificate and is treating us to dinner tomorrow night, so I came out to buy a gift. By the way, wasn't the shop in the building over there? Why did you move to this courtyard here?"
Li Mengxin explained, "We did some research and felt that the atmosphere of a garden was more suitable for a beauty and wellness club, so we moved here. Besides, the buildings in this courtyard are all made of wood, so there's no need to change or renovate anything. We just need to change the space and the layout! We've also dug a fishpond with running water in the courtyard. It will take about a month before we can open for business!"
Gu Yin thought about it and agreed; if she were a guest, she would also prefer this style.
After moving everything and seeing that there was nothing else to do, Gu Yin went to a watch shop to buy a pair of couple watches for her senior brother and sister. These watches were essential for their status, and Gu Yin thought they were quite suitable.
