Chapter 324 You're Great
When Xiaotao and her husband said they were leaving, they really meant it; they never came back.
They encountered the person who asked them for help, and the couple's reason was simple: they had already helped send the person back to their dormitory, so they considered it a completed task.
What can that person do?
Of course, I tried to understand it.
Then, Wang Xiaoming started following An Xian.
As an expert returning from outside, An Xian was initially not highly regarded, even though she was very capable and her superiors believed in her abilities. However, here, some things were more important than ability. But the higher-ups weren't too restrictive; given six months—if An Xian performed well within that time—project access would gradually open up to her.
Little Peach Blossom definitely has more authority than Anxian.
On the one hand, Xiaotaohua has a clean background, and on the other hand, Xiaotaohua can be considered as home-cultivated, so it can be used right away and is trustworthy.
So when she occasionally encounters An Xian, Xiao Tao Hua simply ignores him, pretending not to see him at all.
Anxian initially wanted to greet people, but over time she gave up.
Someone saw An Xian awkwardly lower his hand and comforted him, saying, "Comrade Lin is very busy right now, he probably didn't see it."
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No, no, you're fine."
"But I feel that Comrade Lin doesn't seem to like me very much."
"It must be an illusion."
"Thank you, it was probably just my imagination."
“Comrade Anxian, you have a really good personality. Actually, you don’t have to greet familiar people every time you meet them on the street. We people in the research institute are thinking about projects all day long, and we may sometimes overlook the people we meet on the street. Sometimes it’s really unintentional.”
“I know,” An Xian smiled.
"Do you have a boyfriend, young lady? How about I introduce you to someone? Wang Xiaoming from our institute is quite good. He's young, ambitious, and very capable."
"Comrade Wang Xiaoming?"
"Yes, it's him."
"That might not be a good idea."
"What's wrong with that? Young people should experience more things."
"Then I'll thank you, big sister. Actually, I also think Wang Xiaoming is nice, but I don't know what his attitude towards me is."
"Oh, that's great! Let me tell you, if you like someone, you usually don't need to say much, it'll be fine. As for Xiaoming, he's not a talkative guy, but he's very reliable and responsible. If you two can really get together, that would be a wonderful thing."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, elder sister."
"No trouble at all, just wait here, I'll arrange a time for you to have a proper chat later."
"OK."
"Then you go ahead and do your work, I'll go process the data."
"Okay, take care, big sister."
After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic older sister, Anxian raised an eyebrow and was about to return to her dormitory when she saw a familiar figure not far away.
She glanced around and then walked over.
"Comrade Anxian."
"Hello, Professor Jin."
"How is it at the research institute? Are you adapting well?"
"It's great, the colleagues at the research institute are very welcoming."
"That's good. If anyone bullies you, you must tell them."
"How could that be? Everyone's fine, it's just..."
"Huh? Someone really bullied you?" Professor Jin immediately put on a stern face.
"No, no, Professor Jin, no one bullied me. It's just that I feel like I've offended Comrade Lin Xiaotao somehow, and she doesn't seem to like me very much."
"Lin Xiaotao?"
"Well, I've run into her several times... I'm sorry, I don't mean to speak ill of Comrade Lin Xiaotao, but I just don't understand why, every time I greet her warmly, she seems to pretend not to see me. Actually, I was quite nervous before coming to the research institute, after all, I came from outside. I didn't expect to see such a young researcher as Comrade Lin Xiaotao as soon as I came in. I felt that I should have something to talk about with her, but thinking about it, I was overthinking it. But Professor Jin, don't worry, it's really not that we have any problems. I just wanted to ask, and if I did anything wrong, I will correct it."
"Hey, how about I go ask around for you? We can resolve any conflicts on the spot."
"Where is Professor Jin needed? If all else fails, I'll go ask him myself."
"That's the way to do it. If you talk about any conflicts on the spot, the two of you can improve your relationship. Lin Xiaotao is a good person. If you two become friends, I believe you will definitely be able to generate even better ideas."
"I'm really looking forward to it."
"It's getting late, do you want to go eat?"
"Can I go with Professor Kim? Actually, I admired Professor Kim's abilities a lot before I returned to China, and I've heard a lot about him."
"Haha, what abilities do I have? I'm just an ordinary worker."
"No, Professor Jin is very capable, especially with the ideas you proposed..."
An Xian chatted excitedly with Professor Jin as they walked toward the cafeteria. Both of them enjoyed the meal immensely, especially Professor Jin. This was the first time in so many years that he had met such a pleasing young man. If he could, he would want to take him on as his apprentice immediately.
However, he only thought about it. He felt that he was not qualified to be someone else's mentor, after all, the other party was a high-achieving student who had returned from abroad and was a very capable young man.
He was just an ordinary research institute professor, whose status was even lower than that of Professor Song from Peking University.
However, praise from others still makes him feel happy.
Nobody complains about not getting enough praise.
As they spent more time together, Professor Jin and An Xian became increasingly familiar with each other.
As for Wang Xiaoming, he did sit down and chat with An Xian, and they did have a very pleasant conversation. However, Wang Xiaoming was really busy, either working on projects or on his way to work on projects every day, so he had very little time to spend with An Xian. But each time they spent together, Wang Xiaoming felt that An Xian was a very good person, which made him think that after spending a few more time together, he would take the initiative to propose that they become a couple.
The situation with Little Peach Blossom remains the same as at the beginning.
At first, there was no progress on either side, and then there was no progress at all. Even though An Xian wanted to get closer to them, Xiao Tao Hua and the others were unmoved. Even worse, An Xian couldn't get through to Xiao Pei Chuan. The couple was never apart. Wherever Lin Xiao Tao was, Xiao Pei Chuan was there too. This made An Xian feel jealous and disgusted.
Time always flies when you're immersed in research, and before you know it, the year is almost over.
The research institute does have rooms, but most people choose to spend the Lunar New Year there. Going home from there would take several days by train, and the journey would be freezing cold, so no one really wanted to go back.
However, Lin Xiaotao and her husband were not among these people.
They will definitely return to the capital.
The couple kept a low profile, and not many people knew they had returned. Then, one day before the Lunar New Year, the couple got into a purchasing vehicle and left the research institute in the desert.
When Anxian received the news, she frowned slightly, wondering why the person had left. But it was probably for the best.
Thinking about her next plan, Anxian reviewed it in her mind and felt that everything was foolproof.
Yes, An Xian's identity is fine, but her mind is problematic. Her mind no longer belongs to this place, but to the place where she used to work.
