Chapter 455: Chapter 241: The Pieces Have Fallen into Place
Include, but not limited to, showcasing talents, showcasing one’s research ’interests’ and other methods.
With her index fingers circling in front of her stomach, Ni Xixin hesitated for a moment, then calmly said, "Brother Lu, I’ve thought it through, I’ve also decided to come here for full-time studies."
"Really? That’s great. Welcome, welcome!~" Lu Cheng was very happy to hear this.
Mu Nanshu immediately grabbed Ni Xixin’s hand, expressing her happiness, and said, "Xiao Ni, do you know how nervous I was today? I really wanted you to come."
...
Dai Linfang silently walked over to Lu Cheng and whispered, "Brother Lu? Can your operations reach the level of the Hua Mountain Sword Discussion?"
Lu Cheng was a bit confused: "Huh? What?"
"It means integrating personal insights into ordinary operations, a very high skill level."
"Generally, only senior experts or seasoned associate professors and professors can reach this level," Dai Linfang explained.
Lu Cheng nodded: "Yeah."
Dai Linfang gave Lu Cheng a thumbs up without any hesitation and said, "You’re a friend I’ll definitely make."
...
Afternoon, 3:20 PM.
Lu Cheng bid farewell to everyone at the laboratory door, his face full of apology: "Dr. Ni, I’m really sorry, I worked overtime last night, and I’m on the night shift again today, so I need to go back and take a shower."
"Otherwise, I should accompany you for a tour, fulfilling the host’s duties."
Ni Xixin, having already relieved herself of her burdens, was naturally more at ease: "It’s okay, there’s still Sister Mu and Sister Xie, Brother Lu."
"Since it’s almost New Year, let’s continue the project after the break. During this time, I’ll borrow your Sister Mu, and we can go to the ancient town for nice photos, then to Zhang City to see the rime."
Lu Cheng looked at Mu Nanshu and noticed she was also interested.
Mu Nanshu really loved Lu Cheng and enjoyed spending time with him, but there were some things girls like that Lu Cheng couldn’t replace.
For example, joining a group to wear ethnic costumes to take photos, or taking ancient style photos.
Lu Cheng said, "Arrange as you wish, just be safe. I’ll go explain to Professor Chen Song later."
Work is surely important, but the personal experience of working individuals is also important.
Doing projects is never an overnight success, so balancing work and leisure is very important.
The current progress of the project is already very fast.
"Dr. Dai, Zhang Xibei, are you coming?" Ni Xixin invited.
Dai Linfang said: "I can’t, I still have duty in the department!~"
"Moreover, I still have to prove my innocence to someone. I don’t want to be viewed with prejudice all the way."
After finishing, Dai Linfang stepped forward: "You guys aren’t leaving right now, are you?"
"No, we’re not!" Mu Nanshu said.
"Dr. Xie, would you like to come to my cousin’s house for dinner tonight? I’m inviting you."
"Let you meet my ’scandalous girlfriend’, and you’ve also seen my cousin’s child!" Dai Linfang said.
Xie Yuan’an shook her head and took two steps back.
She just loved the gossip; without gossip, she was too lazy to move.
"Really not going? How about a video call?" Dai Linfang continued.
Xie Yuan’an turned to the side, her expression confused.
To Lu Cheng and his peers, this scene might seem like Dai Linfang was being relentless, but Lu Cheng wondered if Zhang Xibei could see through it.
Lu Cheng did know that Dai Linfang was extremely skilled at playing hard to get.
Though Dai Linfang was handsome, why he liked Xie Yuan’an was unknown, but with his tactics, Xie Yuan’an surely couldn’t escape, likely falling quickly.
"Brother Dai, enough with the jokes already." Lu Cheng said.
"Clearing up misunderstandings is what’s important."
So Dai Linfang voluntarily left.
Zhang Xibei candidly said, "You guys go ahead, I’ll do a few more days of experiments, and then I’ll head home for the New Year."
"So see you after the break. I’ve been to Zhang City and Feng County Ancient City already."
Ni Xixin was shocked, her scalp tingled, while Zhang Xibei silently felt bitter.
If he couldn’t produce results, he would definitely be kicked out of the team, right?
Now everyone in the team is a genius, while as for him, he has neither the education nor exceptional skills.
A supporting role like him bearing so many flowers can only bite the bullet and strive on.
Lu Cheng was unaware of Zhang Xibei’s mental activities at this moment and turned to leave, leaving time for Mu Nanshu and Xie Yuan’an.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Lu Cheng hurried back to the department.
Lu Cheng’s luck was not great today, it wasn’t yet his shift when he walked into the department and encountered two emergency rescues.
This left Lu Cheng no time to prepare more, dropping his bag to dive into the emergency room, starting his shift early.
Mu Nanshu’s messages remained unread and chatting with Professor Chen Song was forced abruptly to stop.
...
At the same time, on the other side of Ji City, Mu Nanshu, Xie Yuan’an, and Ni Xixin entered a follow-photography shop to choose outfits.
Xie Yuan’an stared in amazement at Mu Nanshu’s chest after she changed into the Miao Clan attire, then looked down at herself, feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment!
Mu Nanshu was familiar with both Xie Yuan’an and Ni Xixin, but it was the first meeting between Ni Xixin and Xie Yuan’an.
Although Ni Xixin looked thin and plain, she wasn’t shy, and after changing into silver accessories, she smiled and praised, "Sister Mu, you really have a great figure."
