Chapter 208 Sonny
Sunny, who was busy, saw a new person coming to the lab and wanted to help her right away. She thought it was an assistant that Dr. Wen had specially found in the undergraduate program, so she readily agreed.
"Yes, please help me inject 3 mg of this reagent into this set of culture dishes. Is that okay?"
Zhang Wei immediately replied, "No problem, Senior!"
In this way, Zhang Wei took the initiative to become Sunny's assistant, although she later found out that this girl who seemed to be nimble and skillful in operation was actually a high school student.
Although Sunny is only a graduate student now, she has already received an admission notice for a doctorate from Oxford, so she is content to follow her and do odd jobs.
In addition to being her assistant in laboratory work, Zhang Wei would often bring food to Sunny, who had no time to eat and was devoted to the laboratory, which made other people in the laboratory jealous.
Although she also told Zhang Wei not to take her, Zhang Wei did not listen. Instead, she told her that this was her reward as a teacher. Sunny could only guide Zhang Wei more patiently.
Because Sunny was really patient with her. Although she had a lot of things to do, she couldn't help but explain things to her in detail every time she saw Zhang Wei asking her questions seriously.
So for Zhang Wei, although this laboratory is led by Teacher Wen, Sunny is the one who teaches and helps her.
Gradually, Zhang Wei was able to help Sunny complete some slightly more complicated experimental steps independently, and she also felt a sense of accomplishment in the laboratory.
But when Zhang Wei was not in the laboratory, perhaps because they took into consideration that she was an outsider, the atmosphere was far less harmonious than when she was there.
"Hey, I say, you're not going to eat, are you waiting for that rich young lady to bring it to you?"
Sonny heard the unfriendly words from Antonio, who is of Indian descent, but ignored them and just focused on his own business.
"It seems that you have a lot of experience in interacting with certain people. Would you like to teach me, right? Li..."
Seeing that Sonny ignored him, he continued, and this time he even pulled the habitually silent Li into the topic.
Li didn't want to join in on the topic and adjusted his glasses as if he had just heard something:
"What? You called me? I don't have time right now and need to go out."
Then he turned around and left the laboratory. Antonio felt that it was meaningless if no one agreed with him, so he shut up in a sullen manner.
Zhang Wei didn't know what happened in the laboratory. She just saw Sunny working so hard that she forgot to eat and sleep, so she occasionally brought some food over.
Another thing is that she is quite picky about British food. She thinks that the restaurants that are worth eating at are not very cheap. Zhang Wei doesn't spend much money on a daily basis, so she doesn't pay much attention to the price.
Antonio was sharp-eyed and noticed that this high school student was a big spender. Just one entry to the restaurant with the name on the takeaway bag would cost hundreds of pounds, and she only brought it to Sonny, the cold tomboy, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
This time, Zhang Wei brought Sonny her favorite Mexican food, and when they arrived at the laboratory, she asked Sonny to go to the lounge to eat. Sonny walked past Antonio without even looking at him, making him look distorted with anger.
Zhang Wei naturally didn't know, but she was quite perceptive and could tell that Antonio was not an easy person to get along with. She could tell from the fact that he would often say he had something to do and leave halfway through, and then push the rest of the work to Li, who had a better temper.
After being there for a while, Zhang Wei also found out that Teacher Wen's laboratory was doing experimental research on a new drug. He was responsible for the main part, Antonio and Li were responsible for one branch, and Sonny was responsible for the other branch alone.
From this we can see that although Antonio and Sunny are all master's students, the fact that Sunny can be responsible for the work of two people is also a recognition of her ability.
Moreover, Sunny was the first one to receive a doctoral admission letter, while the other two had not yet received a response from their supervisor.
Zhang Wei made rapid progress under the guidance of Sunny, a top student. When she heard that Sunny had obtained four A* grades in high school exams, she regarded her as her current goal.
So when Sunny told her that the project had reached a critical stage and hoped that she could work overtime on the weekend, Zhang Wei readily agreed.
"Thank you for coming to help me at this time," Sunny thanked Zhang Wei sincerely.
Zhang Wei didn't care: "I don't have anything to do at home, and I'm your assistant anyway."
The laboratory was indeed very busy that day, because Teacher Wen had to get all the test results by tomorrow evening at the latest and submit them to the professor.
Teacher Wen was also very serious in the laboratory. Even Antonio, who always liked to play tricks on others, did not dare to disobey what he said.
Zhang Wei asked Sonny and found out that he was Professor York's most admired disciple. Once this result passed the test and entered the clinical research stage, he could apply for graduation and stay in school.
If nothing unexpected happens, if Antonio and his friends can apply for Professor York's doctorate, their immediate supervisor will still be Professor Wen.
They were not Professor York's graduate students, but applied on their own initiative and then entered the laboratory through selection.
Only then did Zhang Wei feel that Professor York had really given Professor Cruise a great deal of face by allowing her to come.
Because there is another more important laboratory on the same floor as Professor Wen's laboratory, and Zhang Wei can only do some basic work in this laboratory.
So Zhang Wei spent most of the day preparing samples of synthetic compounds, which is a rather tedious job that requires patience.
Due to the characteristics of the experimental compound, a set of samples required two hours of continuous monitoring of changes in the culture medium and adjustment of other conditions at any time to complete.
At normal speed, it would be difficult for Zhang Wei to catch up with Sonny's experimental speed, but Zhang Wei is not a rigid person. She adjusted the number of culture dishes and the compounds in proportion, and actually completed her work around three o'clock in the afternoon.
But she was like this. Seeing that everyone was busy, she didn't want to just leave. She continued to make samples and stored the extra ones in a refrigerator. They would still be useful if they conducted clinical research later. After all, her free labor could help them save money.
By six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone had finally started to complete their work. Sunny only had to wait for five hours of response time before recording the results, and her work was completely finished.
So everyone could go home and rest first. Zhang Wei also thought that this experiment had come to an end and he would be able to relax more when going to the laboratory later. However, he did not expect that an accident would still happen.
Zhang Wei received a call from Sunny the next morning. Her voice was a little hoarse and she didn't sound well.
"Vera, can you come over today?"
