Chapter 406 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey
The access card is also a work badge for entering the laboratory; it's a symbol of identity and belonging to one of us.
Gu Yin happened to have her hair tied in a ponytail today, and the person couldn't pull it out for a moment. Gu Yin grabbed the rope and pushed the person forward with force.
The person nearly fell due to the force applied to the rope, and had to let go of it. He then staggered back several steps until he reached the corridor, where he finally stopped.
"Boyuan! What are you doing?! Do you even know what time it is?"
Gu Yin covered her ears and looked over, only to see Old Cheng leading a group of people walking over from the direction of the laboratory.
Zhang Boyuan had just regained his balance by leaning against the wall when he heard Old Cheng's voice. Startled, he immediately interrupted.
“Professor Cheng, when I came in, it wasn’t time yet, but I saw a strange girl sitting in the lounge, flipping through the magazines we put here. I don’t know whose sister she is. She also has access cards for all the checkpoints in our laboratory building around her neck. I was worried something might happen, so I stayed here to keep watch.”
"Gu Yin! What happened to your right chin? There's such a big red mark! Oh my god, your ears are all red too! And there's one on your neck too! What happened to you?!"
Zhang Qiao was originally following behind Old Cheng. When Old Cheng stopped, he took two steps forward. When Zhang Boyuan pointed out Gu Yin's abnormality, Zhang Qiao noticed something unusual about Gu Yin's neck, chin, and ears, and exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Yin recognized the people he was talking about; he was the one who brought her here last time.
Before Gu Yin could speak, the man who had injured her pointed at Zhang Qiao and shouted, "So, Zhang Qiao! You brought this girl in?! Have you forgotten the lab rules? Professor Cheng, I disagreed when the school suggested bringing in a group of outstanding graduate students to learn. Look at you, you've forgotten the rules! You still dare to bring people into the lab! If the data is lost, who's to blame?! Young people, you're just unreliable!"
Cheng Dong: "..."
Gu Yin: "..."
Zhang Qiao: "...Comrade Yu Min, this is Gu Yin, the newly accepted disciple of Master Cheng. Although I also wish I had a younger sister who is more capable than me, unfortunately, she is not. Also, you have been late three times this week alone. Today is Thursday."
After Zhang Qiao finished speaking, he fell silent and retreated behind Old Cheng.
A researcher who is three days late out of four and a half days—is he really there to conduct experiments or to gain prestige?
Gu Yin was puzzled, but this was none of her business at the moment. However, her own affairs could not be ignored.
"Teacher, with Xiao He's help, I've already processed all the access cards. When I came back, I found the office area empty, and your office was also empty. I thought you must have gone to the lab with other people, but since no one told me whether I should go or not, and since it's a place that needs to be kept confidential, I didn't dare to go there on my own. So I didn't disturb you and just sat in the lounge. I remember that the magazines in the lounge are free for anyone in the building to read."
Cheng Dong nodded: "You can look around freely."
Gu Yin glanced at Yu Min and then continued, "I had just sat down and hadn't even opened the magazine when I saw Mr. Yu rushing toward the lab. I wanted to ask him something, but he was walking too fast and I didn't have time. I had just opened the first page when he came back and yelled at me, 'Whose sister am I? How did I get in?' He wouldn't listen to my explanation and violently ripped my access card off my neck. But because you teachers came, he didn't succeed."
As she spoke, Gu Yin turned around, exposing the red mark that had been torn to everyone's faces.
Gu Yin's skin was originally delicate and fair, but after being pulled so hard, a large area of it turned red and many red spots appeared. The capillaries on her neck must have broken, making it look rather pitiful!
Everyone gasped.
Cheng Dong's face turned cold as he looked at Yu Min, who was cowering and afraid to speak: "Anyone who can enter our lab must have gone through layers of checks and screenings. The first clause in the agreement you signed upon entering is that you cannot bring in anyone without my permission! This includes all the leaders. No one has ever made such a mistake before. Even if someone wanted to make a mistake, they wouldn't be able to get in through the second security checkpoint. Yu Min, do you think you can get away with violating the lab building rules and being late or leaving early by shifting the blame and blaming unrelated people?"
Yu Min looked up at Cheng Dong, pursed his lips, and said, "I was sent here by the state. You have no right to kick me out."
Cheng Dong didn't look at him again: "Zhang Qiao, call two people in and have them send the man back. You go with them and tell them that we can't afford to take in any more elderly people like this. If we send anyone like this again, I think I can retire early tomorrow. Oh, and don't let him pack his things. He came here naked, so he should leave naked!"
Zhang Qiao immediately shouted, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" and quickly ran outside to find someone.
He had long disliked Yu Min. With someone coming to his door as a backer, he came to the laboratory and looked down on this and that, looking down on the young and suppressing the old. If it weren't for Professor Cheng being busy, they would have been too embarrassed to bother him with such matters, otherwise they would have already filed a report!
This incident involving Yu Min has shown those in power the bottom line of the laboratory and served as a warning to the rest of the laboratory staff!
The government sent a few more people, but they didn't dare to make a sound. When Yu Min looked over, they all lowered their heads and looked away.
They cherish this opportunity; only a fool would fight alongside Yu Min!
"Gu Yin, come with me. Everyone else, go about your business."
Gu Yin followed Cheng Dong into his office, accompanied by a man of similar age to Meng Yu.
Cheng Dong sat down and pointed to the man, saying, "This is your third senior brother, Yue Zemin, who teaches undergraduate courses in the Biology Department at Qingdao University. You also have a senior brother, Professor Wang Xinyu, and a second senior brother, Professor Zhang Ge. They both work at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and have their own laboratories and projects. They are currently very busy, so I will introduce them to you when I have the chance. The fourth one is Meng Yu, whom you have met before. Zemin and Meng Yu both teach at Qingdao University. When you start taking classes, one of them should be your teacher."
Gu Yin greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Third Senior Brother."
Yue Zemin also smiled and said, "Hello, Fifth Brother! I heard from Fourth Brother that the Master has taken on a new disciple, who is also the last disciple of the sect. I thought he would be the same age as us, or at least a graduate student. Who would have thought that Fifth Brother is so young! About the same age as my niece! The whole sect is full of old people. It's great to see a young person. The air feels so fresh. I feel like I'm ten years younger!"
"Are you still going to be so sarcastic? Can't you see the wound on your neck, Fifth Brother? Get her some ointment and put it on her!"
Yue Zemin patted his head: "Look at me, I got so excited I forgot! Go right now!" He then hurriedly went out.
