lunch break.

Nianmu arrived at the cafeteria, intending to eat something before conducting experiments. The moment she walked into the cafeteria, the attention of the dining staff fell on her.

She knew what they were looking at and what they were talking about, but she still didn't care, ordered the meal calmly, and walked to the corner table with the plate and sat down.

After she took two bites, Tang Su sat opposite her and greeted in a low voice: "Professor Nian, you come to eat too."

"Yeah." Nianmu slightly raised his eyes, and continued to eat.

"Why are you eating 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 the others. Although she despised Nianmu in her heart for joining Watson Pharmaceuticals through connections, she didn't show any abnormal expressions on the surface.

After all, she still has something to ask for from Nianmu.

"No, I don't have much appetite." Nian Mu refused.

Tang Su, who had already half stood up, had no choice but to sit down in embarrassment.

She silently waited for Nian Mu to finish eating before asking, "Professor Nian, the technical department has already held a meeting to recruit assistants?"

"Yeah." Nianmu didn't hide anything. After the meeting, Mo Xian posted the announcement on the company's website. This is no secret decision.

"Then you will choose your assistants yourself, right?" Tang Su asked in a low voice. She thought she was superior to the people in the administration department, so she shouldn't stay in the administration department.

Only in the technical department can she display her true talents, but the researchers in the technical department are all stubborn, and they value the qualifications of the assistants more. People like her who just came out of society are not very competitive.

So Tang Su wants to cling to Nianmu's high branch. Although the other party also came in through connections, as soon as she arrives at the technical department, she can gain a firm foothold with her own knowledge, without Nianmu's help.

"Yeah." Nianmu nodded, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Then, you will choose me, right?" Tang Su was overjoyed when he heard that, so he simply let go.

Nian Mu paused, and looked at her suspiciously, "I already have an assistant, so I don't need to find an assistant from outside."

"What?" Tang Su's voice raised a few pitches, arousing the attention of others. After noticing it, she asked in a low voice, "Professor Nian, didn't you..."

She paused, then asked in another 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 interviewed at the same time as him, and Lei Zhong graduated from a school that was not as good as hers, but he had a few more years of work experience, so the company selected 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 sabotage her plans again and again.

She accepted it even after losing the competition, but in the matter of becoming Nianmu's assistant, he was also the first to take the lead.

Tang Su was naturally unconvinced.

"The technical department has changed the regulations, and Lei Zhong is now a personal research assistant." Nianmu saw the jealousy in Tang Su's eyes, and knew that she wanted to join the technical department, but he was helpless.

If it was before, she might still have some compassion, but now, it is not easy 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.

There was hope in Tang Su's eyes, "Yes, Professor Nian, can you help me?"

"Since you were born in this major, prepare well. After passing the exam, you will be able to enter the technical department. After I finish eating, you can eat slowly." Nian Mu finished speaking, picked up the plate and left.

Tang Su sat there, watching her leaving back, secretly biting his lower lip in hatred.

By saying that, she made it clear that she would not help herself.

Without Nianmu's help, it would be difficult for her to enter the technical department. After the last blow, her confidence is already low.

Watson Pharmaceuticals has high requirements for assistants in the technical department, and she is not sure of this.

However, if Nianmu doesn't help, she can only help herself!

Tang Su looked away silently. 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!

Nianmu left the cafeteria and returned to the office, rested for a while, and began to do experiments.

Lei Zhong has gone through the relevant procedures and became Nianmu's assistant. When she conducts experiments, he will help by her side and record all the experimental data in detail.

When Mo Xian passed the laboratory, he couldn't help smiling when he saw Nian Mu and Lei Zhong's concentration.

Unexpectedly, Lei Zhong would dare to get close to Nian Mu when such a report came out. According to his boss's domineering character, wouldn't he be afraid of getting burned?

Mo Xian shook his head and turned to leave.

When he was about to get off work, Nianmu received another email from Amur. Based on the active speeches in the forum, after investigation, he finally found the IP address of the reporter who made the remarks, and locked the location.

Looking at the location on the map, Nianmu looked gloomy.

If this matter does not continue to stop, it will definitely become violent and out of control, and she will become a victim of public opinion in the end.

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 this reporter when the matter was at its peak.

It took Amur an afternoon to investigate 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?

Nianmu put down his phone and was not in a hurry to find the reporter, but slowly sorted out all the research materials and data before picking up his bag and leaving.

Walking to the side of the elevator, I happened to meet Lei Zhong.

"Get off work?" Nian Mu asked, curling his lips.

"Yes, Professor Nian, are you off work too?" Lei Zhong nodded, apparently not expecting her to be off work at this time.

At this time, half an hour had passed since the end of get off work, and almost everyone in the entire building had left.

"Yeah." Nian Mu nodded.

When the elevator reached the floor, the two went in one after the other. Nianmu didn't know if the gossip reporters were still guarding the door, so he pressed the first floor.

Lei Zhong saw it and asked curiously, "Professor Nian, did you come here by car?"

"No." Nianmu denied it flatly.

Lei Zhong touched his nose belatedly, seeing that she was still holding a hat and mask in her hand, presumably she was trying to avoid the reporters at the door.

After the elevator reached the first floor, Lei Zhong said goodbye to her and left, while Nianmu took the elevator to the first floor, walked through the long parking lot, and left Watson Pharmaceuticals.
