Nian Mu arrived at the canteen, intending to eat something before conducting experiments. The moment she walked into the canteen, the focus of the dining staff fell on her.
She knew what they were looking at and talking about, but she still didn't care. She ordered her meal calmly, took the plate and walked to the table in the corner to sit down.
After she took two bites, Tang Su sat across from her and greeted in a low voice: "Professor Nian, are you coming to eat too."
"Yeah." Nianmu raised his eyes slightly and continued eating.
"Why do you eat so vegetarian? The chicken drumsticks in the cafeteria are pretty good today. Let me buy some for you." Tang Su showed his hospitality.
She was different from others. Although she despised Nian Mu for getting into Watson Pharmaceuticals through connections, she didn't show any abnormal expression on the surface.
After all, she still had Nianmu to ask for.
"No, I have no appetite." Nian Mu refused.
Tang Su, who was half standing up, had no choice but to sit down awkwardly when he heard this.
She waited silently for Nian Mu to finish eating before asking: "Professor Nian, has there been a meeting at the top about recruiting assistants in the technical department?"
"Yeah." Nian Mu didn't hide anything. As early as after the meeting, Mo Xian posted the announcement on the company's website. This was no longer a confidential decision.
"Then you will personally select the assistants?" Tang Su asked in a low voice. She believed that she was superior to the people in the administrative department and should not stay in the administrative department.
Only in the technical department can she display her true talents. However, the researchers in the technical department are all old-fashioned. They value the assistant's work qualifications more. Someone like her who has just left the society is not very competitive.
Therefore, Tang Su had to cling to Nian Mu, a high-ranking person. Even though the other party came in through connections, as soon as she got to the technical department, she could rely on her own knowledge to gain a foothold without Nian Mu's help.
"Yeah." Nian Mu nodded, picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Then, will you choose me?" When Tang Su heard this, he was overjoyed and simply spoke up.
Nian Mu paused and looked at her doubtfully, "I already have an assistant. I don't need to find one from outside."
"What?" Tang Su's voice rose a few pitches, attracting the attention of others. After noticing, she asked in a low voice: "Professor Nian, weren't you originally..."
She paused, then asked in a different way: "Who is your assistant?"
"Lei Zhong." Nian Mu said.
Tang Su silently clenched her chopsticks. She actually chose Lei Zhong?
She knew Lei Zhong because she was interviewed at the same time as him. The school Lei Zhong graduated from was not as good as hers. He just had a few more years of work experience, so the company designated him as the first batch of assistants.
"Isn't Lei Zhong the assistant of the entire technical department? Why do you want him to be your personal research assistant?" Tang Su asked, never expecting that this Lei Zhong would ruin her plans again and again.
She accepted that she lost the competition, but when it came to being Nian Mu's assistant, he was the one who took the lead.
Tang Su was naturally unconvinced.
"The Technical Department has changed the regulations. Lei Zhong is now a private research assistant." Nian Mu saw the jealousy in Tang Su's eyes and knew that she wanted to join the Technical Department, but he was helpless.
In the past, she might have had some compassion, but now, it is difficult for her to take care of herself, so she doesn't have much energy for others.
"You want to join the technical department, right?" Nian Mu asked.
Tang Su's eyes lit up with hope, "Yes, Professor Nian, can you help me?"
"Since you are born in this major, prepare well and pass the exam, and then you can enter the technical department. I'm done eating, you can eat slowly." Nian Mu finished speaking, picked up the plate and left.
Tang Su sat there, looking at her leaving figure, secretly biting his lower lip and hating her.
By saying this, she made it clear that she would not help herself.
Without Nian Mu's help, it would be difficult for her to enter the technical department. After the last blow, her confidence was no longer enough.
Watson Pharmaceuticals has very high requirements for assistants in the technical department, but she is not sure about it.
However, Nian Mu didn't help, so she had no choice but to help herself!
Tang Su silently withdrew her gaze. She boasted to her colleagues in the administrative department that she would definitely enter the technical department. She couldn't afford to lose this face!
Nian Mu left the cafeteria and returned to the office, rested for a while, and started doing experiments.
Lei Zhong has already gone through the relevant procedures and became Nian Mu's assistant. When she does experiments, he helps by recording all the experimental data in detail.
When Mo Xian passed the laboratory, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Nian Mu and Lei Zhong looking attentive.
Unexpectedly, when such reports leaked out, Lei Zhong actually dared to get close to Nian Mu. According to his boss's domineering character, wouldn't he be afraid of getting burned?
Mo Xian shook his head and left.
When he was about to get off work, Nianmu received an email from Amul again. After investigation based on the comments that were active in the forum, he finally found the IP address of the reporter who posted the comments and locked the location.
Looking at the location on the map, Nian Mu looked gloomy.
If this matter is not stopped, it will definitely get out of control, and eventually she will become a victim of public opinion.
It would be a good thing for her to be kicked out of Watson Pharmaceuticals because of this, but Abep would definitely not allow such a thing to happen, so she had to meet with this reporter when the matter reached its peak.
Amul spent an afternoon investigating the address. She was sure that there must be someone around the other party helping. Otherwise, how could a reporter hide his IP address so well?
Nian Mu put down his phone and was not in a hurry to find this reporter. Instead, he slowly sorted out all the research materials before picking up his bag and leaving.
When I walked to the elevator, I happened to meet Lei Zhong.
"Have you gotten off work?" Nianmu asked, curling his lips.
"Yes, Professor Nian, are you off work too?" Lei Zhong nodded, obviously not expecting her to get off work at this time.
At this time, half an hour has passed since get off work, and almost everyone in the building has left.
"Yeah." Nian Mu nodded.
When the elevator reached the floor, the two of them entered one after the other. Nianmu didn't know if those gossip reporters were still guarding the door, so he simply pressed down to the first floor.
Lei Zhong saw it and asked out of curiosity: "Professor Nian, did you drive here?"
"No." Nianmu denied simply.
Lei Zhong touched his nose belatedly and saw that she was still holding a hat and mask in her hand, presumably to avoid the reporters at the door.
After the elevator reached the first floor, Lei Zhong said goodbye to her and left, while Nian Mu took the elevator to the first floor below, walked through the long parking lot, and left Watson Pharmaceuticals.
