Chapter 281 Things
Nanhua Biological Research Institute.
After finishing the I-virus research project, Lin Xi took a short break and then returned here.
Everyone within the research institute knew that Lin Xi had received national-level commendations and awards, and that her recent disappearance with Song Heng was due to her participation in a classified research project.
Song Heng and Lin Xi, who had disappeared, both returned, but Zhang Zheng, who had also disappeared, never returned to the research institute.
His experimental and commercial projects were all reassigned by the research institute to other entities, so everyone knew that Zhang Zheng would never return.
The espionage trial was not open to the public, and apart from Lin Xi, no one knew Zhang Zheng's whereabouts.
When the director of the Nanhua Biological Research Institute was assigning projects under Zhang Zheng's name at a meeting, Lin Xi saw a familiar company.
It was a medical device manufacturing project with little research component; it was a commercial project.
Lin Xi became very interested in the company because it was familiar to her.
Lin Xi volunteered to take over the project.
She was originally a junior member of this research institute, but because she participated in the I virus research project and received recognition from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she is now highly regarded by the director.
This project wasn't particularly difficult to begin with, and Zhang Zheng had already handled most of it. Lin Xi only needed to finish the final tasks.
The dean had no objections and readily assigned the project to Lin Xi.
Song Heng, on the other hand, glared at Lin Xi repeatedly.
After the meeting, Song Heng took the opportunity to pull Lin Xi aside and give her a pep talk: "Little Lin, why do I feel like you've become a bit lax since you came back?"
"No way!" Lin Xi retorted subconsciously, but then realized that she had indeed relaxed a bit.
Imagine a knife that has been hanging over your head for decades suddenly being taken away; anyone would feel a little apprehensive.
Song Heng said earnestly, "My child, scientific research requires patience. You have great talent, but you need to calm down and correct your attitude in order to go further on this path."
Lin Xi was stunned—
How can we go further down this path?
But she's not a natural researcher, so what will her future hold?
Song Heng finally got to the point: "Don't be like that old geezer Zhang Zheng, who started chasing fame and fortune after achieving some success."
Upon hearing the name, Lin Xi gave a wry smile.
Song Heng added, "Come back and do a good job. Our team can't do without you."
Lin Xi felt a chill run down her spine: "It's not like we can't do without me. Zhao Jing, Qu Shuran, and Senior Sister Ding are all here."
Song Heng's original team consisted of outstanding researchers.
For example, Zhao Jing, who started out better than Lin Xi; Qu Shuran, who always spoke timidly but had a strong will to survive and a thirst for knowledge; and Ding Yan, who was capable, decisive, and always put her family first...
Each person's personality shapes their role in Lin Xi's post-apocalyptic memories.
Seeing Lin Xi approach commercial projects, Song Heng grew anxious. Just like with Zhang Zheng, although he disliked Zhang Zheng's pursuit of fame and fortune, he admired his scientific talent.
Song Heng was unaware that the terrifying I virus was created by Zhang Zheng.
When Song Heng was anxious, he scratched his hair. Of course, he had very little hair, so he was just scratching his receding hairline.
Lin Xi smiled gently: "Teacher, please take care of yourself. Your J virus research project will surely be a success."
Zhao Jing patted her on the shoulder and said, "Why are you saying that? It sounds like you're saying goodbye."
Lin Xi shook her head.
Zhao Jing helped her organize some project materials and took a moment to ask, "I suddenly realized that you already had the answer to that question about vaccine stabilizer research, right? Why didn't you draw a conclusion first instead of waiting for me to finish the analysis and publish the paper before submitting your assignment?"
Lin Xi lowered her eyes as she packed her things: "You're overthinking it."
Because that was Zhao Jing's achievement in the original world.
As a reborn transmigrator, Lin Xi did not steal achievements that did not belong to her. Her accomplishments lay solely in multispecific antibody research and viral vaccines.
And she is just one of the important members among the millions of participants; she deserves the achievements she is worthy of.

"Sister, I'm bankrupt, sob sob. I said I'd treat you to a seafood feast when you came back, but now I can't afford it, sob sob sob." The girl shed some genuine tears.
Another well-dressed older woman next to her patted her on the shoulder and sighed, "You're not completely bankrupt! I can still give you some living expenses."
Gu Yixuan nuzzled Yu Shiyun's arm: "You're so nice."
Lin Xi knew that the two of them had a good relationship, and even without Zhang Zheng, Gu Yixuan and Yu Shiyun would not have lost contact.
Although Gu Yixuan no longer has a father who can constantly generate gold coins, she is a working adult and should not have any problem supporting herself from today onwards.
Everyone grows up. Lin Xi spent 12 lives to grow and save the world. Gu Yixuan only needs to plan her money, not to mention she also has Yu Shiyun.
Lin Xi handed her the taro cake she had bought: "Here, your favorite taro cake. Once you've eaten it, don't cry anymore."
Gu Yixuan rubbed her eyes, took the cake with some delight: "Isn't this my favorite cake from when I was in college? How did you know about this?"
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow—
Gu Yixuan, who was Lin Xi's roommate in the initial world, liked to order Lin Xi around. Whenever she knew that Lin Xi had gone to Area A, she would ask her to bring back a cake.
Back then, this cake was a popular product online. Lin Xi wasn't good at refusing people, so she thought she'd buy it for her while she was at it. Unexpectedly, she ended up queuing for half an hour at the popular store.
Of course, Gu Yixuan wasn't without boundaries; she would transfer twice the amount of money to Lin Xi, and the other portion was for Lin Xi to eat cake.
Lin Xi recalled what Zhang Zheng had said—
Do you feel guilty when you see Gu Yixuan?
Lin Xi firmly said no at the time.
But she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Gu Yixuan.
The world was saved thanks to her and Lu Wei's efforts, achieving the goal of only the young lady being injured.
Lin Xi pinched her cheek: "It's okay, I'll treat you to a seafood feast."
Gu Yixuan pinched Lin Xi's cheek in return, her tone sweet and innocent: "How can you be so kind? My cousin fell from the sky. Speaking of which... we've been friends for so many years, I never imagined we were cousins."
Lin Xi let her massage her for a while, then said sincerely, "We were good friends in our past lives, which is why we are destined to be sisters in this life."
Gu Yixuan rubbed her face even harder: "Ugh—! Why are you talking so slickly now? Even slicker than the simp who's chasing after me!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lin Xi felt much more at ease. Although the young lady's life had changed, she hadn't changed as a person. They were all strong adults.
After playing around for a while, Lin Xi and Yu Shiyun started chatting: "How has Engineer Yu been lately?"
Yu Shiyun looked somewhat haggard: "I was shocked and saddened when I first found out, but I was too busy with work at the studio to think about those things."
Although the I virus was a classified project, as time went by, some people gradually learned about it.
Yu Shiyun's design studio, specializing in safe renovations, suddenly saw a surge in orders, marking a significant breakthrough in her career.
Everyone is moving in a positive direction.
