Summer is not over yet, and the sun is still warm at this time.
Nian Mu squinted her eyes slightly, the comfortable warmth made her feel sleepy.
She murmured in her heart that it looked like she had to ask Mo Xian to make her another cup of coffee, otherwise she would lose energy when working in the afternoon.
Nian Mu noticed a low-key BMW parked on the roadside. But he noticed this car because of the low-key license plate. It seemed to be Mu Shaoling's car. "Mr. Mu, that's your car."
It’s your car, right?”
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling nodded. Because he was going to the provincial capital, he chose to drive a relatively low-key car.
Although he is a businessman, as Lin Wenzheng's son-in-law, being too high-profile in a place like the provincial capital will have a bad impact on Lin Wenzheng.
"Then I'll go back to the company first. You..." Nian Mu paused, but still warned: "Be careful while driving."
The smile on Mu Shaoling's lips deepened, and his eyes were filled with sparkles, "Okay."
After parting ways with Mu Shaoling, Nian Mu returned to the company. When she walked to the door of the assistant's office, she paused.
Before leaving, Mo Xian went to have a meal, so there was no one in the assistant's office. The lunch break was about to end, and Mo Xian had already sat back in his seat and was about to start working in the afternoon.
"Professor Nian, you've finished your meal." Mo Xian smiled and stood up to greet Nian Mu.
"Well, Assistant Mo, could you please make some cups of coffee and bring them to the conference room later?" Nian Mu ordered.
"Okay." Mo Xian smiled and nodded in agreement, looking towards Lei Zhong's seat.
Lei Zhong had already gone to the conference room to prepare for the afternoon meeting, and she couldn't help feeling irritable.
They are all assistants, and she has to do the job of serving tea and water. She cannot participate in core research meetings like this.
As for Lei Zhong, his job was completely opposite to hers. Not only did he not have to serve tea and water, he also did not have to organize documents for other professors.
He is Nian Mu's personal research assistant.
They all have the title of assistant, no one is more noble than the other, but Lei Zhong's bonus is much higher than hers.
Mo Xian became increasingly unbalanced and walked to the tea room casually, preparing coffee according to Nian Mu's instructions.
Bringing the prepared coffee to the conference room, Lei Zhong helped place the coffee on each researcher's seat.
After finishing, Mo Xian crossed his arms and asked Lei Zhong, "Assistant Lei, are you tired of working next to Professor Zainian?"
Lei Zhong shook his head and said honestly: "I'm not tired. I can learn a lot from Professor Zainian and gain a lot."
Mo Xian listened to his words and didn't believe it at all, but he couldn't suppress the jealousy in his heart.
She and Lei Zhong graduated from the same college. The college is not a first-class university, not 985 or 211. For graduates like them, if they want to participate in experimental research, they must continue to study and take postgraduate entrance examinations to have a chance to move up.
Now Lei Zhong has become an outstanding graduate of the school because he works with Nian Mu.
Among the students in the same department, no fresh graduate can directly participate in the research of a project like Lei Zhong.
Before Mo Xian left, a researcher walked in. Seeing her there, he handed over a document, "Assistant Mo, could you please help me make three copies?"
"Okay, I'll go now." Mo Xian took the document with a smile and walked out of the conference room, his smile disappearing.
It was okay for the professors to ask her to do these trivial things. She was working for them, and these were the tasks she should do.
But these researchers also regarded her as their assistant and often did these trivial tasks for her.
Lei Zhong is obviously the assistant in their group!
And don’t they have the skills to do such a small thing as copying? As a researcher, she has to leave all the chores in the office to her.
Mo Xian felt even more uncomfortable.
Following the researcher's instructions, Mo Xian copied the documents and sent them to the conference room.
At this moment, Nian Mu was already sitting in the chairman's position in the conference room. Lei Zhong was sitting next to him, preparing to put in the PPT. When he saw Mo Xian walking in, he shrunk the PPT.
Mo Xian noticed his movements and didn't see the content of the PPT clearly, but his heart became even more gloomy.
He is protecting himself!
Mo Xian knew that there were a lot of secrets in this meeting that needed to be kept secret, but she was the assistant to all the professors and basically researched data, which was too core for her to touch, but she could touch some basic things.
Lei Zhong was so guarded against her, which made Mo Xian feel uncomfortable and felt that he didn't trust her.
She didn't show it, but handed the copied information to the researcher who just ordered her and said: "The documents are copied."
"Okay, thank you." The researcher thanked him, took one out and handed it to Nian Mu.
Nianmu took it and said calmly: "Let's continue the meeting."
When Mo Xian heard this, he knew that he could no longer stay here, so he exited the conference room and closed the door.
After the door closed, the smile on her face disappeared immediately. At the same starting point, Lei Zhong was sitting inside, but she could only sit in the assistant's office.
It seems that she has no pursuit.
Mo Xian remembered that during the Chinese New Year, he and several classmates went to the professor's house to pay New Year greetings.
The professor was praising Lei Zhong's abilities both inside and outside his words, which made them very embarrassed.
Lei Zhong did not come with them to the professor's house to pay New Year greetings, but the professor boasted in front of them, which made their ears get calloused.
After leaving the professor's house, those classmates were also asking her about Lei Zhong's situation.
Both inside and outside the words talked about Lei Zhong's ability, and seemed to be laughing at her. From the same starting point, she did not have Lei Zhong's ability or position.
Mo Xian covered her chest, jealousy making her heart burn with panic.
When the meeting ended, it was already time to get off work. Because the children were still at the old house and there was no soup prepared for Ruan Manwei today, she planned to stay in the company and continue to work overtime. She had asked for too much leave during this period.
If Mu Shaoling wasn't the boss of the company and he knew what he had to deal with, it would be hard for her to explain.
Who would believe that so many things happen to happen together?
Nian Mu was sitting on the office chair, processing documents.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the office, "Professor Nian, are you off work?"
Standing outside the door was Mo Xian, who had been paying attention to Nian Mu's situation.
Everyone else in Nian Mu's team, including Lei Zhong, had already clocked in to get off work, but Nian Mu didn't seem to get off work yet. Mo Xian thought to himself, this is a good opportunity.
"Not yet, come in." Nianmu rubbed her swollen temples. She didn't have a good rest and the work intensity was intense. She was feeling a little uncomfortable now.
Mo Xian carefully opened the office door and walked in.
"Professor Nian, I have something to tell you." She looked at Nian Mu who was working and spoke cautiously without even looking at herself.
"Well, tell me." Nian Mu flipped through the document. This was information prepared by Lei Zhong, and he did a pretty good job.
Seeing her being so cold, Mo Xian felt uneasy, but without hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "Professor Nian, do you still need an assistant here? I would like to be your assistant."
