After arriving at the institute, Jian Ci went straight to the laboratory.
As it was still early, Lu Zongyan had not arrived yet.
She simply put on her white coat and went to check the progress of the medicine herself.
Lu Zongyan had sent her a message before, saying that the medicine was almost ready and hoped that she could go and take a look in person.
But at that time she was worried about Qin Shizheng's health, so she didn't go there.
Now that I finally have some time, of course I have to come and take a look.
Just when she was halfway through her report, there was a sound at the door.
"Who are you and how did you get into the lab so easily?!"
Being interrupted, Jian Ci looked up at the other person, then said indifferently, "Professor Lu let me in."
When the other party heard this, his originally vigilant look relaxed.
However, when he saw the delicate yet unfamiliar eyebrows and eyes under Jian Ci's mask, he asked, "I don't think I've seen you before. Are you new here?"
Jian Ci casually said, "Yeah."
When the other party heard this, he happily introduced himself: "Hello, my surname is Cao, and my given name is Hui."
Jian Ci replied calmly: "Jian Ci."
Cao Hui said in a very familiar manner: "Junior Sister, your name is quite nice."
Junior sister?
Jian Ci raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not deny it. She just asked, "Is the medicine finished now?"
Seeing that the other party was a family member, Cao Hui did not hide anything and said, "Oh, it's almost done now. But it's strange that this medicine doesn't look like it's ready for production. I wonder what Professor Lu is thinking."
Jian Ci did not respond to this.
Just stare at the data on the report and check it carefully.
Seeing her studying the report so seriously, Cao Hui couldn't help but start gossiping. "Junior sister, did you just start following Professor Lu this year?"
"No……"
Before Jian Ci could finish her words, someone hurried in and interrupted her, "Cao Hui, why hasn't my report come out yet? You don't think you don't have to work just because you're on Professor Lu's team, do you?"
The two people in the laboratory looked up subconsciously.
As soon as Cao Hui saw him, his expression immediately became nervous. He quickly stood up straight and said, "Brother Zheng, I sent you the report at three o'clock last night."
Senior Brother Zheng was about to take out his cell phone, but he accidentally saw Jian Ci standing beside him out of the corner of his eye.
He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Who is this?"
Cao Hui quickly introduced: "This is Professor Lu's new student, Jian Ci."
When Senior Brother Zheng heard the word "new recruit," he became noticeably alert and asked in a cold voice, "Which school are you from?"
Jian Ci leaned against the edge of the table and casually replied with two words: "Jingda."
When he heard about Peking University, Senior Brother Zheng looked at him more closely. "Are you pursuing a combined master's and doctoral degree?"
Jian Ci flipped through the report in her hand and said nonchalantly, "No, I'm a freshman."
Senior Brother Zheng was stunned.
Cao Hui, who was standing by, was surprised. "Freshman?"
Jian Ci raised her eyelids and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Cao Hui hurriedly shook his head. "No, I just think it's amazing that you were noticed by Professor Lu during your freshman year."
You have to know that it is difficult for these people to get a job in a research institute without getting a PhD.
People like Jian Ci are either from a medical family or geniuses.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to enter a research institute of this level as a freshman.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Jian Ci ask in a calm voice: "Besides this report, there should be another one. Where is it?"
After learning that the other party was most likely the offspring of a medical family, Cao Hui didn't dare to be presumptuous and said politely, "He's with Professor Lu."
Senior Brother Zheng glanced at the report in Jian Ci's hand, his expression slightly grim. "Professor Lu asked you to follow up on this project?"
A hint of amusement flashed in Jian Ci's dark eyes, "That's about right."
Senior Brother Zheng looked at Jian Ci deeply for the last time, then left without looking back.
The whole process was incomprehensible.
Cao Hui was afraid that Jian Ci would be unhappy, so he explained, "Senior Brother Zheng is just like that. He doesn't like Professor Lu's people in every way, so you don't have to take it too seriously."
Jian Ci was puzzled, "Why?"
Cao Hui, eager to please Jian Ci, revealed without hesitation, "Of course it's for my own advisor. Even though we're all busy with our own projects at the institute, we're actually quite competitive and working on our own."
Jian Ci narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Now that you've entered the research institute, shouldn't you focus on your project?"
Cao Hui laughed. "Junior sister, you are too naive. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In fact, the academic circle is more scheming than you imagine."
Jian Ci was silent for a while, then asked, "Is the situation inside the institute very bad?"
She had known something more or less from Lu Zongyan before, but now from Cao Hui's words it seemed that it was far worse than she knew.
Cao Hui lamented this, "It's not that bad, but they're all big shots, so who's going to give in? Plus, Professor Lu is so focused on his own academic research, so the people below him..."
She didn't finish her words, but Jian Ci nodded, "I understand."
Ultimately, Lu Zongyan was unable to discipline the people below him, which led to their own barbaric development.
No wonder this guy is looking forward to my return so much.
After briefly understanding the situation of the research institute, Jian Ci finally remembered something and asked, "Who is this Senior Brother Zheng's mentor?"
Cao Hui said without hiding anything, "Professor Qiao, Qiao Gaojie. It's just that he suddenly resigned due to poor health. Logically, he should have changed his advisor, but he has been reluctant to do so, saying he wants to wait for Professor Qiao to return."
