Lu Pingfan and Mu Zhizhang were absolutely furious.
They never expected that Ye Weiwei would be so sharp-tongued. They thought she was quiet and reserved, but who knew that she could spew out daggers with every word she opened her mouth.
Seeing that the two were still unconvinced and wanted to say something more, Dr. Zhao said, "Alright, Comrade Ye Weiwei is not wrong. You came to the research institute to do research and do academic work, not to gossip and spread rumors!"
Mu Zhizhang retorted, "Chief, we all got in here based on our own abilities. We've worked diligently and never made a mistake these past few years. How can Ye Weiwei, who just coasted in, compare to us? What's wrong with saying a few words to her? Aren't we just telling the truth?"
Dr. Zhao's face instantly turned cold. Just as he was about to lash out, Ye Weiwei scoffed, "So, working in a research institute, not making any mistakes is considered a success? With this kind of mindset, you still have the nerve to say I'm just here to slack off? I've really broadened my horizons."
Lu Pingfan blushed and his neck turned red from Ye Weiwei's words, "At least we do practical things, what have you done? You've been working for so many days, what have you done besides hiding in the library? You just sit there all day pretending to be knowledgeable with a book!"
Dr. Zhao roared, "Enough!"
He glared angrily at Lu Pingfan and Mu Zhizhang: "Comrade Ye Weiwei was specially invited into the research institute by me. I won't go into the formulas she contributed before, but one of the important formulas that our research institute is currently working on is from Comrade Ye Weiwei."
A few days ago, thanks to Comrade Ye Weiwei's reminder, we were given a new idea to modify the formula. After research, it has been basically determined to be feasible.
Since Ye Weiwei joined the company, she hasn't neglected any of her duties. She's also diligent and eager to learn, having already read at least five percent of the books in the library. I never imagined that someone so diligent and studious could become a target of your attacks. You've truly disappointed me!
"How is this possible!"
Lu Pingfan didn't believe it. Ye Weiwei had only been here for a few days, yet she had already read five percent of the books in the library?
That's not how you brag!
Their research institute's library must have at least several thousand books, and Ye Weiwei has read over a hundred of them in the past few days.
These are all professional books, many of which are obscure and difficult to understand, and require consulting other materials. It's absolutely impossible to read them this quickly!
Mu Zhizhang didn't believe it either, thinking that Dr. Zhao was biased towards Ye Weiwei, and his resentment towards Ye Weiwei and Dr. Zhao deepened.
Dr. Zhao knew that these two wouldn't believe him just by talking. Not to mention them, even he himself hadn't believed in Ye Weiwei's learning speed at first.
He looked at the book on Ye Weiwei's dining table, picked it up, and asked her, "Where are you in this book?"
Ye Weiwei: "Chapter Fourteen, page 237."
Dr. Zhao handed the book to Lu Pingfan, "Chapter 14, the content before page 237, you can give me any questions."
Lu Pingfan took the hand and looked at Ye Weiwei's calm and unperturbed expression, and his heart skipped a beat.
He was surprised to find that Ye Weiwei at that moment gave him a sense of unfathomable depth.
Could it be that they really misunderstood Ye Weiwei?
But how is that possible?
Mu Zhizhang didn't notice Lu Pingfan's hesitation. Seeing that Lu Pingfan didn't speak, he took the book from his hand and opened it. "Then please tell me, Comrade Ye Weiwei, what is Chapter Seven about? I'll give you three minutes to think."
Ye Weiwei recited the contents of Chapter Seven verbatim without missing a single word.
Lu Pingfan was dumbfounded.
Mu Zhizhang was also stunned.
He only asked Ye Weiwei to answer questions and summarize the key points of Chapter Seven; he didn't ask her to memorize the text!
Moreover, Ye Weiwei recited it word for word without missing a single one!
He couldn't believe it, and said again, "Chapter 5, page 98..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Weiwei recited the contents of page 98.
Lu Pingfan: "What's the last line on page 123?"
Ye Weiwei once again gave a perfectly correct answer.
Lu Pingfan snatched the book from Mu Zhizhang's hand, quickly flipped to page 123, looked at the last line of text, and then his gaze towards Ye Weiwei changed.
Mu Zhizhang was also stunned, looking at Ye Weiwei as if she were a monster.
"How...how did you do that?"
Ye Weiwei said casually and unhurriedly, "What's so difficult about that? It's just having a photographic memory."
Photographic memory?!
That's all?!
Lu Pingfan and Mu Zhizhang felt a mouthful of blood stuck in their throats, and they couldn't say anything.
Ye Weiwei glanced at the two of them lazily, picked up her book, said something to Dr. Zhao, and left.
She wanted to go back and continue reading.
After Ye Weiwei left, Dr. Zhao looked at Lu Pingfan and Mu Zhizhang and sneered, "Now you know the difference between you and Comrade Ye Weiwei, right? Don't think that just because you're incompetent, everyone should be like that, and you even try to define geniuses with the thinking and perspective of ordinary people! You're stupid without realizing it!"
Lu Pingfan lowered his head in shame: "Director, I was wrong."
Mu Zhizhang also lowered his head, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Weiwei: "Why didn't she say so earlier if she had such abilities? If she had said so earlier, we wouldn't have misunderstood her."
Dr. Zhao looked at Mu Zhizhang in shock: "So, according to you, this is still Comrade Ye Weiwei's fault?"
Seeing that Dr. Zhao was angry, Mu Zhizhang argued, "I just feel that we're all colleagues, and what she did wasn't honest enough..."
Dr. Zhao looked at Mu Zhizhang with disappointment.
Although he was the director, he was always engrossed in medical research and rarely paid attention to his subordinates. He felt that since they had come here, they were all people who were single-mindedly engaged in scholarship and research, and they should be given the greatest freedom. He didn't want to interfere too much and stifle their thinking.
Now it seems he was being too naive!
"Mu Zhizhang, hand over your work to your team leader and resign."
Mu Zhizhang looked at Dr. Zhao in disbelief: "Director? Why? I only had some questions about the new colleague, a little misunderstanding and a few words exchanged, it's not enough to make me leave, is it?"
Dr. Zhao looked coldly at Mu Zhizhang: "If you have any questions about Comrade Ye Weiwei, you can come to me to find out the situation, or you can ask Ye Weiwei in person to clarify things, instead of doing what you did, wantonly attacking and insulting your new colleague with words without understanding the situation."
I don't know why you harbor such hostility towards Comrade Ye Weiwei, but even after learning the truth, you still show no remorse and keep shirking responsibility. A person like you is not suitable to stay in the research institute.
In our research institute, someone might never complete a project in their entire life, but they cannot be ruined by their character! You'd better watch yourself!
