Another new person has joined the laboratory.
The girl's question stunned Mo Yang.
In this sentence, one can hear a hint of pleading, a hint of worry, a hint of embarrassment, and of course, a hint of unwavering determination.
This matter really shouldn't be discussed here.
Mo Yang glanced at the dormitory, then at other places, his eyes darting around, but he never gave an answer.
"I know this request is a bit difficult for you, but if possible, could you please consider it? If there is an opportunity to hire more staff in the lab, please choose me first."
After saying that, the girl lowered her head and ran away.
Before Mo Yang could find a suitable place to talk, the person had already gone far away from him.
Watching the girl's retreating figure, I glanced at the flowers in my hand. Just a few simple blooms. Though not as beautiful as her floral arrangement, they were still lovely in their own way.
Mo Yang walked back to his dormitory, took out the flowers one by one without saying a word, found a suitable cup to use as a vase, and placed them inside one by one.
The flowers before him seemed to possess a magical power, and Mo Yang felt that the room, now occupied only by him, had suddenly become somewhat warm and inviting.
It has that familiar taste.
He stared blankly at the vase until very late, when he finally remembered that he still had to make a decision about this matter.
For some reason, Mo Yang didn't seem as clear-headed as when he was looking at the flowers. His mind was foggy, as if something had covered it, and he couldn't think straight.
The answer seems to be right in front of you; all you have to do is open your mouth and it will appear.
However, this seemed enough to kill Mo Yang.
After sleeping soundly all night, Mo Yang's lost strength was slowly returning. He forced himself to stay in bed for a few more minutes, but in the end, he couldn't resist and got up to go to the lab.
On the way to the lab, the scenery was different from usual. It wasn't until he got closer that Mo Yang realized he hadn't come to his own lab, but to Hou Chengjie's office.
Mo Yang stared at the door for a long time before finally closing his eyes as if he had made up his mind, and a voice rang out.
"Come in."
It still has that cold, indifferent feel.
Mo Yang opened the door, and the person inside immediately changed their attitude upon seeing him.
"What are you doing here?" The tone was still suspicious, and his eyebrows instantly rose eight centimeters.
Mo Yang coughed and said in a deep voice, "I think we should add more people to the experimental project."
This person clearly didn't understand the tone of Mo Yang's speech.
"You mean you want to replace him?"
"It's not about changing people, I want to add more people."
The person in front of him understood, and his eyes darted back and forth in their sockets several times.
What is your purpose in wanting this person?
“Our project is quite long-term. I haven’t been at the institute for long and I don’t know much about it. I’m currently leading two new people who haven’t been here long either, so management isn’t going smoothly and it’s delaying the project schedule. That’s why I came to you today. I’d like to ask you to have a senior researcher from the institute come and help me out. It would be easier for us to work together and communicate, which would help the project move forward faster.”
Logically, every sentence made sense, but Hou Chengjie was still worried that this person was planning to plant a trap for him.
"There's no one free at the research institute right now. Just wait, and I'll assign someone to your position when someone becomes available."
"I don't just take anyone."
"What exactly do you want? Or if you've taken a fancy to this position, you can sit here."
"I think we can do another special interview with the reporter. There were some things I didn't say last time."
Hou Chengjie's face darkened completely upon hearing this.
Who do you want?
“I think Chen Lili, who works with the lab on celestial volume calculations, is a good candidate. He just graduated with a PhD in astronomy, which aligns with our research direction, and his qualifications also meet our lab’s requirements.”
Another silence followed.
Room 4 was the one that Yuan Longping, who was his adversary, was in charge of managing.
Moreover, they seemed to have had a heated verbal exchange during yesterday's meeting.
After thinking it over, his face darkened even more.
"Let me make this clear from the start: I'll ask for the person for you, but whether they're willing to give it up is another matter."
Hearing this, Mo Yang had achieved his goal.
"Thank you, leader. Thank you for your cooperation. Thank you for your kind words."
"Go away, go away." This person was truly at his wit's end after hearing what Song Yize said.
He finally understood why Song Yize said he had inherited a mess; it really was a mess.
What was originally an unspeakable secret was easily revealed through Fan Siwen's approach.
Mo Yang mentally applauded himself for his transformation and secretly gave Fan Siwen a thumbs up for his unexpected appearance.
Fan Siwen, who had just returned from the hospital, immediately received the inside information about him.
They started yelling as soon as they walked in.
"I heard Chen Lili is coming to our lab?"
"Who told you that?"
"This is true! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!"
As he spoke, the man nearly squashed his face with both hands.
Mo Yang was completely bewildered. He hadn't said anything, so why was this person so excited that he seemed to have forgotten everything else?
"Be cautious. Everything is still uncertain and unpredictable. Don't be too happy too soon, or you might fall and get hurt."
"How could it possibly fall? Absolutely not. I've already got a guarantee; they said I can report for duty tomorrow."
"No, who told you this? Come and tell me the truth." Mo Yang walked over, trying to take Fan Siwen's phone and check who his internal resource channels were.
"No, no, no, absolutely not. I still need to make a living here. Exposing my network of connections wouldn't be a good thing."
Fan Siwen gripped her phone tightly behind her back.
Despite Mo Yang's best efforts, he was unable to seize Fan Siwen's wealth.
However, after Fan Siwen said that, Mo Yang started to look forward to it.
"Hey, where did these flowers come from?"
Fan Siwen continued working with her hands while changing the subject.
"It was a gift from someone else."
"Who sent it? Our professor is such a dashing and handsome man, it's a relief that someone appreciates him. Tell me who it was!"
“If you tell me, I’ll tell you, and we can switch.”
"I won't do it, and I'm not that interested in knowing anymore."
...
The laboratory on the second day was just as Mo Yang had expected.
From the moment Fan Siwen stepped inside, she kept looking at the surveillance screen.
I'm afraid that if I don't keep a close eye on things for a moment, I won't have time to tidy myself up and leave a less than perfect impression on the newcomer.
Mo Yang had seen Fan Siwen displaying her hair since early morning. Her hair, which she usually didn't wax, was inexplicably waxed with seven or eight layers today.
The way they stand upright looks like steel needles that could pierce through the laboratory ceiling.
The young man standing nearby also noticed Fan Siwen's difference.
"Why are you in such a good mood today? Has being confined suddenly raised your standards for yourself?"
Fan Siwen was so proud he was practically flying to the sky. "The people are really, really happy today."
Mo Yang didn't detect anything suspicious in Fan Siwen's words until there was another person standing in the lab, at which point he realized the reason behind all of Fan Siwen's unusual behavior.
"This is Fan Siwen, this is Mo Yang, and standing before you is our new colleague Chen Lili. Let's give her a round of applause."
After a round of enthusiastic applause, Mo Yang introduced Chen Lili to everyone, saying, "Chen Lili, welcome to our big family. It might be a bit noisy sometimes, so you may need some time to adjust." He also reassured Chen Lili after the introduction.
"What's all the noise about? That's called having fun. We've got plenty of entertainment here. Coming here will guarantee you a happy workday and a smooth life after get off work. All your troubles will disappear!" Fan Siwen shouted loudly, taking the lead.
"I've never seen you so quick-witted before. Don't scare people." The young man beside him was clearly less emotional than Fan Siwen.
"It's okay, it's alright, I'm very adaptable." Chen Lili's smile broke the obviously uneven magnetic field among the people present.
"The professor means that the machines here are a bit noisy, and listening to them too often can affect hearing. We can prepare earplugs or noise-canceling headphones in case we need them."
The young man standing nearby was noticeably more relaxed than before.
Mo Yang's face turned green when he heard this. Although he was trying to explain for him, no wonder he rarely responded readily when talking to him. He had thought Mo Yang was just a quiet person by nature. So that was the problem.
He was determined to listen carefully to see what secrets the two of them were hiding that he didn't know about.
"If you don't have one right now, I can lend you mine. But it's fine to use it occasionally. When the machine is silent, you can also chat with us to make reading data less difficult."
When did this guy start using such flowery language? This screen is way too big and ridiculous! Thinking this, Mo Yang couldn't help but laugh, but after immediately realizing the meaning of the sentence, his smile became less obvious. No wonder he always made small talk with him when the machine wasn't running; he was just using him to pass the time.
"Our lab isn't that idle, is it? It seems we haven't assigned you two enough work. You're just pretending to work overtime every day, are you just slacking off?" She changed the subject, directly targeting the person who spoke without restraint.
"Professor, I didn't. I work diligently every day," the young man immediately denied any wrongdoing.
"It wasn't me, Director, you can't just make false accusations like that!" Fan Siwen's sycophantic manner was mixed with obvious coquettishness.
The arrival of the newcomers transformed the once ordinary laboratory into a vibrant arena of competition, like a peacock displaying its plumage.
However, on the other hand, who can say that this isn't a good thing?
Where wolves have existed since ancient times, sheep have always run exceptionally fast.
But now the scene changes, and there's a sheep in the wolf pack, just one. Does that mean the three wolves are about to follow the sheep's path?
