Chapter 714: I heard you're lucky
The offices of the three directors were all in one room. As they climbed the wooden ladder, Dean Fang asked with a smile, "Is Chu Yan your boyfriend?"
Gu Yin nodded gently: "Yes."
“That’s easy. He built a wooden hut when he came here before, and it’s still there. There’s not much stuff in it, just blankets and toiletries. You can have your grandfather get them from the logistics department. That way, you won’t have to build one yourself.”
Gu Yin asked in surprise, "Does this mean that all newcomers have to arrange their own housing?"
Director Fang opened the door, and Director Liang answered: "The environment here is special. If we do more things, the environment is more likely to be damaged. So when no one comes, we don't do anything. When a new person comes and decides to stay here, the logistics department will help. If you don't want to stay here, you can go to the base at the foot of the mountain, but we think that given your status, you should stay here."
Gu Yin asked in confusion, "My identity? What identity?" What identity did she have? How come she didn't know?
The door opened, and Director Fang said with a smile, "Come in, let's talk slowly."
Gu Yin followed the three people inside. The office was simple, but in addition to the computers, the three desks were filled with folders, and the floor was also covered with stacks of documents and books.
Gu Yin glanced at the books and found that many of them were related to nuclear technology. It seemed that the three directors were experts in the field.
"Please sit wherever you like. Would you like some tea? We only have tea and plain water here, but the tea leaves are different from those outside. We found this tea tree on the opposite mountain. We don't know how many years it has been there. As you know, because of that lake, the surrounding plants can no longer be considered normal plants," Director Wang explained while boiling water.
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Then I'll trouble you."
After speaking, he looked out the window. The location here is excellent. The magnetic field testers and their equipment on the other side of the lake can't operate there. Many things are transported here for research. From the offices of the three directors, you can see the lake.
"What a great location, a lake view room?"
Director Fang sat down: "Hahaha! That was the first thing your grandfather said when he came here! He's really family!"
Gu Yin chuckled: "Grandpa is a businessman. When he goes to a new place, he always uses a businessman's eye to estimate whether the place is good or bad, and how much it is worth. That's his habit. I'm just a common person too. I like money. River view apartments and the like are more expensive. It's all subconscious, just subconscious! Hehe."
Director Fang nodded: "So your grandfather was a successful businessman! And you are a successful researcher!"
Gu Yin shook her head helplessly: "By the way, have you already crossed to the other side of the lake?" When they first came here, they hadn't even reached that side yet.
Director Liang nodded: "I went there, and like here, many medicinal herbs can no longer be counted by their age! You can go and take a look this time."
Gu Yin had come with the same intention. The tea was already brewed. After thanking Gu Yin, she smelled it, then took a small sip, and then drank another sip. Gu Yu was very surprised: "What kind of tea is this? It tastes very refreshing and sweet! One sip and I feel refreshed. It's more refreshing than mint but not as strong. It's very delicious!"
"This is a variant of white tea from Dabai Mountain. It's known as the 'mineral water' of teas for its fresh, sweet taste, unique aroma, and flavor. It's also a health-promoting tea. The special environment of this lake makes its aroma, taste, and effects even more pronounced. We rely on it when we work overtime late into the night! We don't have much left. You can ask your grandfather to get some more from the logistics department, or we can arrange an assistant for you," Director Wang said with a smile.
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Then I'll have Grandpa ask about it later. As for an assistant, forget it. I'm not used to using one. I usually work alone, so I'm used to it."
She has important business to attend to here, and the fewer people around, the better.
"As for what you just said about me having an identity? What identity?"
Upon hearing this, Director Fang handed her an employee badge from the desk next to him: "This is a lab pass. Since you're here, go take a look. You might discover something we haven't. Everyone says you're lucky. Last time you went to Harbin University, you solved the problem with the lithography machine. You went to your senior's lab and even developed the AIDS drug. We can't ignore your ability and luck! Of course, this is not to deny your ability. Ability is more admirable than luck!"
Gu Yin took the employee badge, which, besides featuring her photo, also read "Laboratory Research Special Envoy – Zhou Gu Yin".
Gu Yin: "...I'm only here for a week, this..." She didn't plan to stay any longer!
Director Fang nodded: "Of course! You are still a student, so your studies should be your priority. However, when you come here, you can visit the laboratory."
Gu Yin thought this was somewhat of a mystical idea.
"Okay, then I'll accept it. Does that mean my application has been approved? Is there anything else I need to do?"
Director Fang shook his head: "Having this card is fine. Now, let's talk about the purpose of your trip."
As Director Fang spoke, he brought the computer to Gu Yin: "This is your application material. It says you have made a new discovery, and this discovery is related to radiation sickness?"
Gu Yin looked down at the computer and saw that her application was covered with all sorts of colored marks, annotations, and question marks. Clearly, the application had been studied many times!
Gu Yin nodded and briefly explained: "Based on targeted drugs, I used the lake water and a special medicinal herb to create a treatment that can completely cure the root cause of radiation sickness."
Director Fang and the others already knew about this, and it was also mentioned in Gu Yin's application.
Director Liang frowned deeply: "You should know that lake water; apart from jade artifacts, no equipment can study it! How did you manage to get it?"
Gu Yin nodded: "I know, because of that lake water, several of my devices broke down. It broke my heart, that cost so much money!" At the time, she had really forgotten the properties of the lake water. She found out later, but she had to do the experiment, so she didn't finish the meal. The equipment that Chu Yan bought broke down several times. Later, she used her card to buy it, and the money was reduced by half!
The equipment in the lab is really expensive!
Director Fang empathized: "No, that's right. One piece of equipment after another has broken down here, and we've applied for funding again and again. Your grandfather and Chu Yan have donated several times; the money's just burning through! There's nothing we can do now; we can't touch the equipment. We can only study the surrounding plants, soil, and air, hoping to find a flaw in the lake. Do you know how excited our entire lab was by your application? Everyone thinks the flaw in the lake will definitely be solved by you! If it weren't for your young age, the fear of scaring you, and the obstruction from Base 1001, we would have gone to Beijing to invite you here long ago!"
Ahem, those experts were saying that even if they didn't want to come, they'd have to bring them over! But let's not say that, lest it affect internal unity.
