The woman's words were sarcastic and she was so angry that everyone at the table frowned.
"Lu Lili, we haven't even met the person yet, so don't jump to conclusions. Director Lai isn't the type to confuse public and private matters. Since that person was able to enter our lab, it means he has his own special abilities. Don't take your anger out on the newcomer just because your sister couldn't get in. He didn't steal his job from your sister."
Unable to bear the sight of this woman acting as if everyone owed her something, the girl put down her bowl and chopsticks and spoke with a serious expression.
Lu Lili rolled her eyes at her and said, "Stop flattering me. Director Lai isn't here. Who are you flattering for?"
The girl's expression became even more serious, and she stared at Lu Lili until she felt uncomfortable. Then she spoke:
"Lu Lili, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. We are all colleagues, do you have to say such harsh words?"
There was a moment of silence at the dinner table. Lu Lili gritted her teeth in anger, and without eating, she simply packed up her dishes and left with a stomping sound. The table and chairs made a harsh, crackling noise, which made the others frown even more.
"Why is Lu Lili's temper getting worse and worse?"
"Oh, when has she ever been in a good mood? To say she's a hot pepper is an understatement. She's like a mutant iron watermelon tree! She can blow you up if she doesn't agree with you."
Lu Lili shook off the discussions behind her and returned to the laboratory with a gloomy face. From a distance, she saw a petite figure surrounded by many people. When she saw Lai Baoqing following her, she knew who this person was.
"Director Lai, this girl is the newcomer to our laboratory, right?"
Lu Lili squeezed past several big men and got close to Wei Ci. The moment he saw her face, his expression went blank for a few seconds.
Is this guy from the countryside? How come he looks like a vixen? Why doesn't he become a movie star instead of coming here to steal their jobs?
Wei Ci was suddenly pushed aside by someone, and her body swayed and she was about to fall backwards.
Just as she was about to scream, a strong arm wrapped around her waist and brought her back. Her body almost snuggled into Gu Zhan's hot and strong chest, which prevented her from falling on her butt in embarrassment.
The Wei Qingfeng brothers looked displeased, and looked at Lu Lili as if they wanted to eat her, but for the sake of Lai Baoqing's face, they didn't say much, but their expressions were not good.
Lai Baoqing frowned as soon as he saw the person coming, and the words he said were naturally not nice.
"Lu Lili, what are you doing? Can't you see there are people here? Why are you pushing?"
Lu Lili came back to her senses and looked Wei Ci up and down several times. Her eyes were not very friendly, and her jealousy and resentment were almost undisguised.
He ignored Lai Baoqing's questioning and just looked at Wei Ci, his words were so aggressive that it made people feel uncomfortable.
"Are you the one from the country? I heard you never went to school. Can you read?"
"Lu Lili!"
Lu Lili immediately shut up after being yelled at, with an embarrassed look on her face. She still looked at Wei Ci with scrutiny and disdain.
Wei Ci tilted her head, her hair brushing against her fair cheeks. Her eyes, bright as stars, stared at Lu Lili without blinking, and she spoke bluntly: "You hate me? Why? This is the first time we meet, right?"
There is no love or hate without reason in this world. Lu Lili rejects her so much, something must have happened that she doesn't know about.
Lu Lili's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "How can you, a person who has never been to school, get into the laboratory? Isn't it all because of Director Lai? Why can't I have any opinions about you?"
She is not afraid of Lai Baoqing, her father is the deputy factory director!
Lai Baoqing's face darkened. "Before you criticize others, don't you look at yourself? Without a father who's the deputy director, do you think you can get in here? Comrade Wei has at least two achievements. What about you? You've been in the lab for three years. Have you produced any results?"
"Her? How is that possible? Didn't she just come from the countryside?"
Lai Baoqing sneered, "Why not? Do you really think they got in because of me? How shameless do I have? You can go back and ask your father how they got in! Stop talking about your academic qualifications all the time. Some people can serve the people without any academic qualifications. You have a high academic qualification, but what have you done for the people with it?"
Lu Lili was stunned by the series of words, and the group of people in white coats who had just returned from dinner at the door also listened silently.
The more Lai Baoqing talked, the angrier he became.
He came back after being an undercover agent for half a year, and the factory was almost in chaos. He had been dealing with factory affairs with injuries on his body for the past few months, and he couldn't even sleep well. He finally brought back a genius, but was pointed at and accused of using a backdoor. Who could tolerate this?
"Comrade Wei, let me introduce you. This is the head of the laboratory, Director Chang Ning. You can contact her if you have any questions."
After scolding the person thoroughly, the anger in his heart subsided. He didn't care about Lu Lili's dark face and pulled over a woman in her thirties or forties and started introducing her to Wei Ci.
Wei Ci is a sweet-mouthed girl who looks like a doll. She smiles at everyone and calls them brother or sister. Soon, she has made everyone in and outside the laboratory, except Lu Lili, smile.
The people in their laboratory are generally over 30 or 40 years old, and there are a few in their twenties. They were all recruited in the past two years. This is the first time they have seen someone as young as Wei Ci.
After signing up and meeting his future comrades, Wei Ci was obviously in a good mood and walked back with a lighter step.
"Qingfeng, what are your plans after Ah Ci gets the job?"
Wei Qingshan looked at his younger brother. What he was most worried about was this brat.
He was afraid that after he returned to the army, this kid would become even bolder without anyone to supervise him.
In the past, when he was on that small piece of land in the village, no matter how he messed around, he had his great-uncle, Grandpa Erzhu, and Uncle Jianguo to look after him and nothing serious would happen. Now he is placed in the provincial capital and there is no one to watch over him. This brat will definitely poke a hole in the sky for calling him brother!
Wei Qingfeng coughed twice, feeling inexplicably weak in his heart.
"I'll look for a job first."
He couldn't say that he had no intention of entering the factory at all. His target had always been the black market in the provincial capital.
Today, his ranch space has been integrated with Aci's farm space, and many domestic and wild animals are raised there.
He no longer had to look for hidden breeding grounds, as he had an endless supply of meat waiting for him. Of course, he would find ways to make more money to marry his elder brother and save up a dowry for Aci to buy new clothes. He wanted Aci to be the most enviable sister in the world.
