Chi Gui led Wen Ruan around the entire institute, explaining work-related matters in detail.
Afterward, she turned and asked Wen Ruan, who had been silently following behind her, "That’s all. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask now."
Wen Ruan’s lips curled into a gentle smile, "I’d rather, if I have any questions in the future, be able to consult with Professor Chi personally."
Chi Gui slightly furrowed her brow, "Why wouldn’t you ask your questions now instead of waiting until later?"
Wen Ruan...
His smile slightly stiffened.
This Professor Chi... didn’t seem like what he had imagined?
After explaining work-related matters, Chi Gui instructed the young assistant following behind to take Wen Ruan to the laboratory, then she left immediately.
The process was very businesslike, without a hint of surplus emotion.
It was the first time that Wen Ruan had been treated so coldly; he stood there dazed for a moment, then cautiously asked the young assistant, "Is Professor Chi... always so... straightforward?"
The young assistant, excited to meet the legendary figure for the first time, kindly advised, "Yes! Professor Chi has said, whoever drags her down, she kicks out. So you must be careful!"
Wen Ruan...
He looked at the young assistant’s admiring face, unable to tell if she was serious.
Wen Ruan’s work was similar to Shi Liyun’s; they shared a laboratory.
As he entered, Shi Liyun couldn’t help but nervously steady the equipment in front of her.
Standing at the workbench, she listened to Wen Ruan’s pleasant and gentle voice thanking the young assistant and then slowly walked up to her.
The faint scent of medicine emanating from Wen Ruan made her mind momentarily waver.
