Nian Mu frowned slightly because of Mo Xian's words, then put down the document and looked up at the person standing uneasily opposite. She only needed an assistant.
If there is one more person, not only will there be no work arrangements for him, but other professors will also be dissatisfied.
All research professors only have one research assistant. If she had one more, what would the other professors think? It was impossible for Mu Shaoling to recruit another group of assistants to smooth the imbalance among other professors.
Nian Mu shook his head gently. Although he didn't know why Mo Xian suddenly wanted to be his assistant, he still refused and said: "Assistant Mo, I don't lack assistants."
Mo Xian bit his lower lip in embarrassment, wanting to fight for a chance for himself, "Professor Nian, don't get me wrong, I just want to learn more professional knowledge, and I thought about following you, so that I can learn more like Assistant Lei.
.”
Nian Mu has no intention of replacing Lei Zhong. After all, the other party has strong work ability and is not a gossip. Whether it is studying the above matters or her life, Lei Zhong is not as curious about him as others.
She was very satisfied with Lei Zhong, so she naturally didn't need Mo Xian. "Well, if you suddenly have this idea, maybe you can ask other professors. They may need an additional research assistant."
When Nian Mu's words reached this level, Mo Xian felt that there was no point in fighting for him anymore.
The smile on her face was forced, and she glanced at the thick documents stacked on the table, thinking that if she had competed with Lei Zhong, Nian Mu would definitely choose her.
It's just a project that's late...
"Professor Nian, I'll go out first." Mo Xian knew that Nian Mu wouldn't want him no matter what he said, so he could only leave.
"Okay." Nianmu nodded, his eyes falling on the information again.
She didn't know why Mo Xian suddenly wanted to follow her, but she didn't need a new research assistant, and she didn't continue to think about Mo Xian.
Mo Xian left Nian Mu's office and clenched her fists with both hands. She lowered her face and just wanted to get a good opportunity.
Nian Mu refused to give it to her.
Other professors…
Mo Xian didn't think about it anymore. There was no shortage of other professors now. For students like them who had just graduated, other professors didn't like their school...
Mo Xian felt mixed emotions in his heart. He looked back at the office with the door closed, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
After Mo Xian left, Nian Mu worked overtime for another half an hour before returning to the villa.
Mu Shaoling hasn't come back yet.
When Aunt Wu saw Nian Mu coming back, she stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Ms. Nian, why did you come back so late?"
"The company had something to do, so it was a little late." Nian Mu explained.
"Both you and your husband are busy people." Aunt Wu shook her head helplessly, "My husband is also working overtime. Do you want to have dinner now?"
"Okay." Nian Mu was not too surprised that Mu Shaoling was working overtime.
Mu Shaoling is busier than her, so working overtime seems to be normal.
But thinking that he might not have dinner and work overtime in the office, Nian Mu sent a WeChat message to Dong Zijun, "Assistant Dong, are you free now?"
Dong Zijun's reply was also quick, "Professor Nian, what can I do?"
"I heard that you are working overtime. Has Mr. Mu had dinner?" Nian Mu edited it and clicked send.
Then she felt weird again and said, "What I mean is that if he didn't eat dinner, Aunt Wu would keep the food here, and I couldn't bother Mr. Mu, so I asked you."
She typed quickly and sent the edited words before Dong Zijun could answer her.
After a while, Dong Zijun replied to her: "Professor Nian, don't worry, Mr. Mu has already had dinner."
Looking at the reply on WeChat, Nian Mu felt that his face was extremely red.
Her care, which could not be concealed, was clearly seen by Dong Zijun. She touched her face, it was hot, and she probably blushed.
Nian Mu sat at the dining table.
Aunt Wu came out with the prepared dinner and noticed that Nian Mu's face was rosy, which was not there just now. She asked with concern: "Ms. Nian, why is your face so red?"
"Maybe the heating in the house is not enough." Nian Mu explained casually, not wanting to tell Aunt Wu that his concern for Mu Shaoling was known to Dong Zijun, so he was embarrassed.
Aunt Wu was confused, it was almost summer, and the heating in the house had long been cut off.
Seeing Nian Mu picking up the bowls and chopsticks, it was hard to find out the reason for her blushing.
Nianmu took two sips of soup and another sip of rice, and casually asked Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, what kind of soup is this?"
"It's pork rib soup." Aunt Wu replied.
"Well, leave some for Mr. Mu." Nian Mu said. Although Mu Shaoling had eaten at the company, he might be hungry when he got home after working overtime.
If Mu Shaoling is hungry then, she can still drink soup. If he wants to have a midnight snack, she can also use the pork rib soup as the soup base and give him a bowl of noodles.
"I have already saved it, and there is more than one bowl. Sir, you have worked too hard and need to replenish it." Aunt Wu sighed.
"Well, yes, by the way, Aunt Wu, can you choose medicinal materials?" Nian Mu suddenly asked.
"Medicinal materials, I can distinguish good from bad. Moreover, the Mu family will choose the same store that sells medicinal materials to purchase some valuable supplements and medicinal materials. The boss is honest and will not deceive the Mu family's nanny." Aunt Wu told her.
He said that the quality of some medicinal materials can be judged from the price, but some unscrupulous bosses will always deceive uninformed buyers and sell inferior medicinal materials as good medicinal materials.
However, the boss of the Mu family who has been purchasing the medicinal materials from the same store is quite good, at least he will not use inferior quality medicinal materials as good quality for sale.
"Ms. Nian, do you want to buy some medicinal materials?" Aunt Wu guessed that Nian Mu asked this question because he wanted her to help buy some medicinal materials.
"Well, yes, I want to buy a batch of medicinal materials of good quality, but I am very busy during this period, so I don't have much time." Nian Mu said. She knew how to choose medicinal materials, but she didn't have much time.
And she didn't know if Mu Shaoling was going to Lin's house on the weekend, whether it was Saturday or Sunday.
"Write down the names and grams of the medicinal materials, and I will buy them for you." Aunt Wu said that the store was near the market, and it was convenient for her to go there.
"It's too much trouble for you, Aunt Wu." Nian Mu smiled.
"No trouble, no trouble. It's all near the market. I go there every day." Aunt Wu said quickly. Although there are only two adults living in the villa, Mu Shaoling and Nian Mu, they are very happy.
Being busy, Aunt Wu basically makes soup for them every day, and sometimes she also makes medicinal soup.
Most of the ingredients for making soup are bought at that store.
"Then after I finish eating, I will write a list and ask you to buy some for me tomorrow." Nian Mu said and bought the medicinal materials so that he could go to Lin's house with Mu Shaoling at the weekend.
"Okay, no problem." Aunt Wu agreed.
After Nian Mu had eaten, he wrote down the medicinal materials she needed on a piece of paper, including the names of the medicinal materials and the required quantities to avoid Aunt Wu making mistakes.
