Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Perfect Cooperation! Is the big boss here for themselves? Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Perfect Cooperation! Is the big boss here for themselves? They had all reached this level, unable to move up or down, and long lost the intention to work properly in the laboratory!
Every day they punched the clock and sneaked out to fish, play cards, and seek fun, never expecting their actions were clearly recorded!
“You are invading others’ privacy!”
Tian Yue shrugged.
“You fished in my pond, and I haven’t asked you for money. You played cards at the casino I opened. Where did I violate the rules?”
The geniuses from Beidou Star, after arriving at Qingshan County, embraced the philosophy that idleness was idleness. They casually contracted several fishponds and bought several stores planning to do some small business, inadvertently acquiring an entire row of shops…
And in passing, they recorded Zhu Zhenxiong and Qu Zikun’s outings for fun.
“Speaking of which, you haven’t paid for last month’s card games and yesterday’s fishing fees. We’re also running a small business. Right, boss?”
“Of course, the money needs to be paid.”
Qingwu faced their panicked, flustered expressions as they tried to shut off the central screen, letting out a cold laugh.
“I came today also to ask Boss Pei, has your laboratory security network fallen behind to the point that even experimental data can be intercepted?”
A few minutes ago, her experimental data had been intercepted, and it was still warm!
Qingwu looked at Shen Shaojia, her tone subtly calmer.
“Director Shen, have you been providing the experimental data for Vermilion Bird recently?”
“It was me, those experiments were produced through sleepless nights by me and my team, but…”
Her face was somewhat pale, and she didn’t continue.
Originally it was her experimental data, but somehow it vanished overnight!
The assistant next to her spoke up indignantly, “Our director hasn’t slept well for a week due to this experiment, living and breathing in the lab every day, yet the data still got lost…”
Zhu Zhenxiong stumbled as he tried to turn off the looping central screen, and just as he neared the controller, he heard Qingwu’s calm, indifferent voice.
“I also sent this video to your Boss Pei, in high definition and uncut. Think carefully about what you usually say.”
Upon hearing her words, Zhu Zhenxiong stopped caring about the video and slumped to the ground with weak knees!
What had they said usually?
Aside from insulting Shen Shaojia, they often bad-mouthed Pei Jundu too, saying he climbed up the ranks relying on his looks, lacking real ability. Now he probably wanted to keep Shen Shaojia… and said even worse things!
If Pei Jundu really saw that video, their careers would be utterly ruined!
Qu Zikun pulled himself together.
“Director Shen says the experiments were hers just because she claims so? You don’t have the experimental data!”
Lacking experimental data was Shen Shaojia’s biggest issue now.
These two just wanted to latch onto that point to drive her out of Vermilion Bird Laboratory!
Qingwu leaned her cheek on her hand, watching Shen Shaojia, her eyes shimmering.
“Director Shen, do you still remember your experiment results?”
“Of course I remember, but results alone… are useless.”
There was a trace of bitter longing on Shen Shaojia’s face.
At an institution like Vermilion Bird Laboratory, supporting an experiment requires tens of thousands of experimental data for corroboration.
Experiments with too small a sample size or no samples wouldn’t be recognized!
Qingwu nodded, “Enough.”
“I came because I discovered that data from Vermilion Bird Laboratory and our laboratory was intercepted by your own people.”
As soon as she said this, everyone was dumbstruck!
Internal personnel intercepting their own experimental data?
In the academic world, this was an unimaginable scandal!
Qu Zikun stared at Qingwu, his neck tight.
“You aren’t from our lab, what qualifies you to talk nonsense here?”
“Whether or not it’s nonsense, you’ll find out soon.”
Qingwu looked to the large screen behind her, switching its contents.
“One of these experimental data sets was submitted by Qu Zikun, correct? I recall conducting the experiment half an hour ago and sent it to Vermilion Bird Laboratory.”
Qu Zikun compared the data on the screen with his emails, nodding in agreement after verifying.
“It was me who submitted it, what’s the problem?”
Qingwu smiled lightly, exuding confidence, her demeanor commanding!
“The problem is, the data from the email I sent was fake, and you provided false data. If you truly provided the experimental data, shouldn’t you recognize which result is yours?”
“We’re all researchers here, don’t we know what results our own data should produce? How could samples Aa and Bb possibly produce C? Is it that Vermilion Bird Laboratory’s researchers have lost their minds over the years, or have they simply gotten old and forgetful?”
The tone was nothing short of mocking.
Cold sweat covered Qu Zikun’s face!
“I… I forgot… I chose wrong, the other one is my experimental data!”
“Is that so? Have you chosen?”
“Chosen! The other one is my experimental data!”
Qingwu smiled at Shen Shaojia, “What about you, Director Shen, which one would you pick?”
Shen Shaojia looked at the data on the screen, her gaze unwavering.
“I choose neither, my experimental data couldn’t have resulted in these two outcomes, even with a tiny error. If I provided the data, this should be the result.”
She bent down, thought for a moment, and wrote down the data on paper and pen handed by her assistant.
Although the step of this experiment should be handled by Beidou Star, she would mentally verify all the experimental steps to ensure the final result would have no issues!
Shen Shaojia showcased her data, “It’s almost right. The results should be like this; the data provided by this gentleman is incorrect.”
Tian Yue, standing beside Qingwu, was full of admiration!
The boss’s sister is really impressive, truly material for scientific research. No wonder they want to use dirty tricks to drive her out; with her here, the lab would eventually carry her surname!
Qingwu brought out prepared experimental data, “Coincidentally, Director Shen’s result is the same as mine.”
Shen Shaojia was initially nervous but felt a delightful surprise and relief upon seeing Qingwu had the same data as hers!
She was still worried about offending the other party. After all, she had been scolded by Boss Pei for a lack of emotional intelligence after being at Vermilion Bird for so many years… What if she offended the Beidou Star boss and they stopped collaborating?
She hadn’t expected that this was all arranged by this boss!
Shen Shaojia looked at Qu Zikun and Zhu Zhenxiong, her fine brows slightly furrowing, her voice carrying rare sternness.
“Didn’t expect the mole to be you two. I ignored your little tricks before, but stealing my data, slandering me, and tarnishing the lab’s reputation, this matter can’t be let go that easily!”
Qu Zikun and Zhu Zhenxiong exchanged glances, seeing the collapse and terror in each other’s eyes!
If Shen Shaojia really exposed them, their academic careers and professions would be utterly finished, and they might even be blacklisted across the industry…
“Director Shen! We just had a momentary lapse in judgment, please forgive us!”
Qingwu paid no attention to their tearful pleas, standing as she handed prepared documents to Shen Shaojia.
“Director Shen, let’s continue collaborating on future experiments, but also take care of your health.”
Shen Shaojia gratefully nodded, feeling both excited and thankful.
She could tell that this time, Beidou Star Laboratory’s boss came specifically to back her!
But why? It seemed like she didn’t know the other party.
Noticing Shen Shaojia’s puzzled expression, Qingwu withdrew her gaze, saying lightly, “Remember to settle what they owe. I’ve already contacted Pei Jundu; he’ll handle the aftermath.”
“Okay, definitely. Even if they don’t pay, our lab will cover it.”
Shen Shaojia was still confused, was the other party purely here to collect debts?
How much money did Qu Zikun and Zhu Zhenxiong owe after all?!
But it must have been for the safety of the lab’s data too, right?
Suppressing her doubts, Shen Shaojia wondered why she was indulging in self-deception, thinking the other party was here for her.
That couldn’t be right!
Shen Shaojia watched Qingwu and Tian Yue as they walked away. Their special lab coats seemed to glow as if they were the real Beidou Star in the sky!
