Lu Qingzhu's dark eyes held a chilling light.
Academician Cao was sweating profusely, and hurriedly put on a fawning smile: "Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"
"To be honest, Academician Cao, even if Li Ying wants to join a research group, she will only join our group," Lu Qingzhu stated.
"That's right, that's right. Master Qian's disciple is qualified."
Academician Cao could only leave in disgrace.
Rong Ning was also scolded by several nurses and quickly left to go to work.
Rong Ning clenched her fists. Why could Li Ying get everything, while she got nothing?
Research group?
She, Rong Ning, wants to get in too!
Tian Li stood there awkwardly, never expecting that Li Ying would be her master's junior sister. Should she also call Li Ying "master"?
"Tian Li, what are you doing standing here?" Lu Qingzhu asked coldly.
Tian Li regained his senses: "Master, I'm going to work right away."
Without pausing, he hurriedly ran away.
"Tian Li is your apprentice? No wonder, the steamed buns at her house contain a blend of Chinese herbs, all from a recipe given to her by her junior brother?"
Lu Qingzhu nodded.
"Yingying, I do intend to have you join the research group, what do you think?"
Li Ying felt that this was her luck; she had just been asked by the director to leave the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine when she ran into her junior colleague.
"Okay, I'll apply to join my senior's research group right away."
If I can achieve something in scientific research, and rely on my own achievements, could I help my parents return to the city?
"We know about your parents' situation, so don't worry too much. They will return to the city."
Li Ying nodded, believing that her parents and brothers would return soon.
At noon, Rong Ning couldn't eat. The thought of Li Ying being able to join the research group while she had to run around in the hospital corridors, give patients injections, and be blamed by them made her feel extremely suffocated.
No, she must find an opportunity to crush Li Ying and surpass her.
When Rong Ning returned to the military family quarters, Lu Xingzhou happened to be home as well, and the nanny, Aunt Xu, was feeding Lu Jia.
Rong Ning pulled Lu Xingzhou back to the room. "I want to join the research group, Xingzhou-ge, do you have any connections you can use to help me get in?"
Lu Xingzhou frowned: "Ningning, with your abilities, do you still need to use connections?"
“Brother Xingzhou, you have no idea how high the requirements of the research group are. I have the knowledge, but you don’t know that sometimes you need connections to get into the group.”
What connections could Lu Xingzhou possibly have? He was able to serve as a company commander because of his own abilities.
“Ningning, I think with your abilities, becoming an attending physician is only a matter of time, so you don’t need to rush.”
Rong Ning knew that it was pointless to talk to Lu Xingzhou; he was good for nothing except for his face.
But this is the man she snatched from Li Ying, and even if he only has a face, she will love and cherish him.
"Ningning, why do you suddenly want to join a research group? I've heard that research groups are very demanding."
Lu Xingzhou held Rong Ning's hand: "I really don't want you to work too hard."
"I know the research team works hard, but once they achieve something, they are at the level of masters."
By then, she will be able to surpass Li Ying.
"But we don't have any connections! Why don't you try talking to your mother?"
This is the only path we can take now.
Rong Ning clenched her fists; she was determined not to fall behind Li Ying.
Then the only option is to go back to her birth mother and pull some strings!
——
Thanks to Lu Qingzhu's connections, Li Ying's application was approved quickly.
The director personally handed the approval documents to Li Ying and apologized for his previous behavior.
"I'm so sorry, Comrade Li Ying. If I had known you were Qian Lao's apprentice, I would never have transferred you to another department because of those fabricated charges."
Li Ying smiled faintly and asked only one question: "Director, I want to know why you have such a big misunderstanding about me?"
"Sigh, I received an anonymous letter the day before yesterday. The things written in it were all nonsense. I think they were all fabricated and didn't exist."
If the director hadn't known she was Qian Xuesen's student, he might have believed the contents of the letter. Now that he knows she is, the things in the letter must be a frame-up.
Thank you.
In the afternoon, Li Ying packed her things and went to the research group with Lu Qingzhu.
Tian Li was extremely envious. On the way to send Li Ying off, he really wanted to ask his master to let her stay as well, but Tian Li also knew that he was not qualified enough and would have to wait another year or two.
My junior brother's research focuses entirely on Traditional Chinese Medicine, including the use of herbal medicines and granules, as well as the effects of herbal sprays.
Li Ying was very familiar with these things. For someone who had achieved scientific research results in the future, it was simply a matter of analyzing the experimental data in advance.
After 5 p.m., the research team went home.
"Is my senior brother so humane?" Li Ying thought the research team had to work very hard every day.
"These things are accumulated over time, and even research should be conducted in a rational manner."
Lu Qingzhu appears aloof and arrogant, but in reality, she is quite Zen-like.
They chatted and laughed as they left the hospital. In the distance, Ye Jingchi was leaning against his bicycle, looking towards the hospital. When he saw Li Ying, he quickly walked over.
"Li Ying." Ye Jingchi saw her as soon as they came out and was somewhat surprised: "And this is...?"
"This is my junior brother, Lu Qingzhu," Li Ying introduced frankly.
"Junior brother, this is my boyfriend, Ye Jingchi."
Ye Jingchi extended his hand: "Hello, Comrade Lu."
Lu Qingzhu looked at Ye Jingchi: "Are you Ye Jingchi, the army battalion commander?"
"Yes, it's me."
Lu Qingzhu nodded slightly: "Not bad."
Li Ying was puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions. She said goodbye to Lu Qingzhu and got into the car.
"Let's go."
"Hold onto my waist, so you don't slip when the road gets uneven," Ye Jingchi commanded.
Li Ying was speechless. This man was acting strangely today, but she still obediently reached out and hugged Ye Jingchi's waist.
Ye Jingchi seemed quite satisfied and happily rode away on his bicycle.
I got home early today. Grandma went to see a play, so only Aunt Li was home.
Li Ying went back to her room to rest first, and told Ye Jingchi about her trip to the research group.
"Will working in a research group be very tiring?"
"It's alright, not as strenuous as other scientific research." Li Ying didn't feel that being pregnant made things difficult.
"Is your senior colleague also in the research group?"
"Yes, it was my senior brother who recommended me that allowed me to go," Li Ying said without hiding anything.
Ye Jingchi's expression was somewhat strange, and his gaze towards Li Ying carried a hint of resentment.
Li Ying washed her hands and face, then sat down to rest.
Seeing Ye Jingchi staring intently at him, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Ye Jingchi leaned close to Li Ying, his eyes deep: "Li Ying, can I kiss you?"
Li Ying's brain went blank for a moment. What was wrong with Ye Jingchi today? His behavior and speech were strange.
Before Li Ying could react, Ye Jingchi grabbed her chin, lifted it up, and kissed her lips deeply.
Noticing that Li Ying did not resist, Ye Jingchi took advantage of the situation, intensifying his kiss, prying open Li Ying's red lips, and entwining his tongue with hers...
