With a snap, Song Luobai slammed down the chopsticks in his hand.
"You have no friends, shouldn't you look for the reason within yourself? A selfish person like you will show his true colors after only 5 days of getting to know someone."
"Don't go looking for Sister Chuchu, I'm afraid you'll try to take advantage of her."
This was the first time Lin Chuchu had seen Song Ruobai explicitly express his dislike for someone. What exactly had this person done?
In the cafeteria, only Lin Chuchu and her friends didn't know Chen Meng; none of the others came over to persuade her.
Chen Meng finally couldn't hold back her tears and ran out crying, without even eating her meal.
Her bodyguard, looking utterly helpless, quickly ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice and could only run out after her.
Looking at Song Luobai, whose face was gloomy and whose cheeks were puffed out, Lin Chuchu finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Did that Chen Meng offend you?"
Du Lingling shook her head. "I'm fine, but I was tricked by her twice. She offended Luo Bai."
Song Luobai said from the side, "You know my husband is good-looking and very popular with young women and wives. The other woman has only been here a few days and she's always hanging around him."
"Later, when I found out, she said she didn't know Lao Zhou was married. She cried her eyes out and wanted Lao Zhou to stand up for her."
Song Luobai took a deep breath, her face filled with disgust; just thinking about it made her feel nauseous.
Fortunately, her husband, Lao Bai, doesn't like to philander.
Otherwise, she'll get a divorce and leave with the children.
Song Luobai waved her little fist, her face full of determination.
Lin Chuchu's opinion of Chen Meng worsened. She was such a nice girl, why was she eyeing someone else's boyfriend?
After chatting for a while in the cafeteria, Lin Chuchu and the others returned to their dormitory building.
Today, Lin Chuchu doesn't plan to go back to her family compound; she'll simply stay here for a while.
Because they are often away from the dormitory, the rooms get dusty, but every few days someone comes to help clean them up.
However, their rooms also need to be tidied up this time.
Lin Chuchu and Liu Xiaonuan joined the others, taking rags and starting to clean the room.
The two were packing their things. Team Leader Qin and his men had returned with their families. They were moving back to their old home, bringing their entire families to live in the family compound.
Now that his family has been settled, he has returned here to continue working as Lin Chuchu's bodyguard.
After exchanging greetings, they all got busy, cleaning every room, including their own.
It had been a long time since Lin Chuchu had done this kind of work. After finishing, she straightened up and patted her shoulders.
"I'd like to treat them to dinner tonight, or maybe hot pot, that would be easier."
Lin Chuchu had already told Du Lingling and the others to bring their children over that evening. With their guards, there would be a lot of people, so it would be best to prepare an extra table.
"Okay, I'll go to the convenience store in a bit to see if they have any meat. I can't just take it from your space."
Team Leader Qin said.
"good."
Lin Chuchu agreed, figuring she would pay them back for the groceries they had paid for.
We just can't make them lose money.
At first, they didn't have much of a concept of money and often paid for things in advance. Later, they stopped asking Lin Chuchu for money. It wasn't until Lin Chuchu told them a few times that they remembered to keep accounts.
Every few days, Lin Chuchu would return the money to them.
When you go to the convenience store, you not only need to buy meat, but also other things, such as meatballs and vegetables.
They also wanted to see what was inside, so they could be discreet when taking out other food from the space.
Since hot pot and barbecue became popular, meatballs have also become a staple food in convenience stores.
So, when they went to buy them, they actually did have some meatballs.
Pork and mutton, as well as some braised products, such as braised pig's head and trotters, and the most common vegetables are cabbage, spinach, and bok choy.
After buying them, they were mixed together with the ingredients in Lin Chuchu's space.
There was a large quantity, enough for everyone to eat.
It wasn't until after get off work that everyone arrived at Lin Chuchu's dormitory, along with Song Luobai, Du Lingling, Feng Tao's family, Researcher Hou, and Xiao Lu's family.
A group of children were running around in the yard while they washed vegetables and chatted at home.
Lin Chuchu also prepared a bunch of snacks, fruits, milk drinks, candies, biscuits, etc. for the children.
Lin Chuchu also brought her three children with her, and now the older ones are playing with a group of younger ones.
Lin Chuchu also prepared several bottles of wine, waiting until all the seasonings were ready.
Everyone went to call the children; the children and women sat at one table, and the rest were divided into two tables.
Although it was a bit crowded, it was very lively.
Song Luobai and Du Lingling also drank a little wine. Song Luobai held Lin Chuchu's hand and talked about the interesting things that happened when Lin Chuchu was not around.
They also talked about how that annoying Chen Meng was pestering them.
"Sister Chuchu, you have no idea how annoying she is. Everyone else can remember the operating procedures, but she just can't. She almost caused an accident when she was doing research."
Song Luobai's tone betrayed his disgust. Everyone was smart enough to learn after being taught twice, but Chen Meng, despite being told many times, still did the same thing.
Later, it was Du Lingling, the group leader, who brought in two older academicians to give Chen Meng a good talking-to, which improved her considerably.
“Our group was getting along very well originally. There were a few older people above us who were keeping things under control, and everyone got along very harmoniously. But after Chen Meng came, for some reason, the group started to split.”
Du Lingling also looked helpless. "Later, when there was really no other way, I had each of the split groups take charge of a part, and in the end, our group did the final synthesis."
"Fortunately, despite their commotion, they know what they can and cannot do, and they can't delay the research progress."
She never imagined leading a group would be so tiring, and she will never be a group leader again.
It's not pleasant at all; I'd rather stay with Researcher Zhou Lichen and the others.
Lin Chuchu could only feel helpless in this situation; even if she were there, she couldn't offer any assistance.
"Isn't your group's project almost finished? At worst, you can just disband the group and not take them with you."
Lin Chuchu advised.
Du Lingling and Song Luobai exchanged a glance, their faces full of bitter smiles.
"It's not that easy. I feel like we're both being entangled by them."
"Everyone except the two of us has agreed to form a group. I'm afraid we'll be the ones kicked out by them."
The group was clearly proposed by the two of them, but now they're being kicked out one by one. It's really upsetting to think about it.
Lin Chuchu was surprised by this and asked curiously.
"Do they want to form a long-term group? If they have the ability, that would be great."
