Chapter 226 Solution
Zhang Wei saw that his face was pale and blue, and was afraid that he would pout, but he didn't expect that he would still not give in and started to act like a rogue:
"You, go back to your country! You are not welcome here!"
Zhang Wei wasn't buying it: "Then this place doesn't belong to you any more. The Indians once said the same thing to you barbaric invaders!"
"If I had as much free time as you, I'd better think about this year's graduation project, so as not to fail to graduate again!"
Zhang Wei watched him clench and unclench his fists, looking at her with resentment, and was a little wary of him taking action.
Although Eric looked skinny and not much taller than her, Zhang Wei was afraid of angering him and causing him to suddenly explode and hurt someone. The two of them confronted each other for almost a minute, and Eric didn't make a move. Zhang Wei knew that this man had the intention but not the courage to do it.
Eric originally intended to scare Zhang Wei, but he didn't expect that the girl didn't show any fear at all. Her eyes were fixed on him, making him doubt that if he made any move, he might not be able to beat her.
In the end, he just said something harsh: "Just wait, I won't let you be proud for long!" and ran away quickly.
Zhang Wei thought about where he could cause trouble. Her work involved contacting Professor Laura directly, and she didn't need to go through Eric. Besides, they had little in common, so he couldn't do anything big.
Then when Zhang Wei returned to the laboratory, he knew what good things Eric had done.
"Sorry, Vera, I didn't get the reagents today."
"The materials room said that Professor Laura helped pick up all the reagents we'll be using in the lab this week yesterday. He said they should be distributed soon."
Zhang Wei frowned when he heard Yilfa's words and said, "So you're waiting for me here. So, you can take a day off today. I'll get our reagents tomorrow."
Seeing Zhang Wei's expression was not right, Yilfa asked, "Is there any trouble? Do you need our help?"
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal. It should be resolved quickly. Just come on time tomorrow."
Then the two assistants were given leave. Zhang Wei went to the materials room to verify first and found that it was Eric who took the things away on her behalf yesterday. After all, he had been with Professor Laura for so many years, so it was relatively easy for him to do things in Professor Laura's name.
Because some classmates who have good relationships with each other would help each other get materials, Eric's move really caught Zhang Wei off guard.
However, she did not plan to go to Eric. Going to him probably would not bring any good results. If she went to find Professor Laura specifically, it would seem like she was making a fuss. He might turn the tables and say that he was obviously helping out of kindness, which would make her seem too suspicious.
Zhang Wei went to take a look at Eric's laboratory, which was in a corner on the second floor of the laboratory building. The door was still locked. With so many reagents, they could only be placed in the laboratory.
So Zhang Wei thought it was time to give him a taste of his own medicine. She went to the materials room and pretended to be calm and said to the custodian:
"Hello, I asked Eric, and he took the reagents away for me, but can you do me a favor?"
The custodian seemed quite enthusiastic and immediately said, "You say, Dr. Wilson..."
"Eric said he had something important to do and couldn't come back for the time being, so he asked me to get your spare key to open the door for me."
"Oh, then he must have remembered it wrong. The spare key is in the security room. Do you want me to contact them for you?"
"Thank you so much! I've never met a custodian more conscientious and responsible than you!"
Zhang Wei immediately praised in a sincere tone.
Then she successfully got the key to Eric's laboratory from the guard room with the custodian's endorsement. Zhang Wei opened the door of his laboratory. There was a reagent box at the door. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, with only a few scattered footprints of Eric. It was obvious that this laboratory had not been used for a long time.
Zhang Wei didn't hesitate and took away the whole box of reagents, locked the door again, and returned to his laboratory.
She felt that Eric really didn't know what he was thinking. He already had a doctorate, and one of the best in the world. With his diploma, he could make a lot of money by working for any pharmaceutical company. Did he need to work hard for Professor Laura to make money?
Moreover, Professor Laura is not a very demanding person. As long as he works hard, Professor Laura will definitely guide him even if he fails his graduation thesis. After all, it is not a glorious thing to have a student who cannot graduate.
Looking at the situation in his laboratory, it seems like he has given up. Professor Laura probably gave him work to help him, and if he doesn't go into the laboratory, a lot of work cannot be completed at all.
This means that the work that Professor Laura assigned to Eric was different from Zhang Wei's work. Zhang Wei felt that Eric was being suspicious and acting like a villain.
Zhang Wei went to the laboratory as usual the next day and did not tell anyone else about the reagent incident. As for when Eric would find out, she didn't care.
She also needed to familiarize herself with the materials Professor Laura had given her and prepare for the pharmaceutical exchange conference.
Including her, there were several other classmates accompanying her. This was also Zhang Wei's first time to get along with other classmates, because the classmates all had a kind of aura of keeping strangers away from them as if they were in a barrier between each other.
Even Professor Laura seemed particularly kind and friendly among these students. No wonder she brought herself along. Zhang Wei felt that it looked like Professor Laura was leading a group of troubled youths.
Professor Laura has her own dedicated assistant, but she is only responsible for Professor Laura's daily arrangements. Although Zhang Wei and others are traveling on public funds this time, they do not have an assistant, and they need to do trivial matters such as booking air tickets and rooms by themselves.
At the beginning, they were all responsible for their own affairs. Later, someone booked the wrong time and someone else booked the wrong place, so Professor Laura asked Zhang Wei to share the responsibility.
Zhang Wei didn't want to waste time waiting for people, so she had to help out. However, the seniors were quite grateful. Some of them gave her some chocolates, and some would occasionally smile at her.
Because the others were really "not good at speaking", it was mostly Zhang Wei who followed Professor Laura. The assistant didn't know much about academic matters, so Zhang Wei's previous homework came in handy. When appropriate, she needed to speak on behalf of Professor Laura, and she would also make herself familiar to Professor Laura when she interacted with other professionals.
In addition, she also took careful notes of the meetings every day, and took the opportunity to ask many professionals for their opinions on some issues related to her topic, which gave her a direction for improvement on her topic.
Zhang Wei felt that this week had been busy and fulfilling. Looking at the seniors who followed her and Professor Laura around like puppets, she couldn't help but ask:
"Is this how you all met with the professor before?"
