Tang Shu found herself both amused and, admittedly, had to concede that Jing Yu’s perspective was indeed quite unique.
Inside Cloudscape Pharma’s greenhouse, the second batch of mature Exquisite Plants had occupied Tang Shu’s time for two whole days.
By the time she had finished processing this batch of herbs, she had become familiar with the nearest departments and also understood the main functions of several key departments.
"Shushu, do you want to go to the cafeteria and grab some lunch together?"
"Yeah, let’s do it, it’s time to clock out now."
The only other two females in the R&D department would always come over and ask after work, and because the three of them shared a common interest in herbs, they quickly went from calling her "Consultant Tang" to "Shushu".
As a result, the distance between them had narrowed significantly.
For Tang Shu, she could sense the others’ profound understanding of and knowledge reserves in modern Chinese medicine during their conversations. As for the other two, whether in terms of age or understanding of Chinese medicine, Tang Shu was the most mysterious one among them.
She far exceeded their expectations of a university student.
Tang Shu glanced at her cell phone to see the time—11:30—then put down her work.
"Then let’s go together."
The cafeteria of Cloudscape Pharma was located on the first floor and had a very wide floor space. It offered a variety of cuisines covering all eight major Chinese culinary traditions; there was something for every palate.
The women took off their white lab coats, revealing more casual clothes underneath, and the air of solemnity that came with their research roles disappeared, replaced by a newfound vibrancy.
The group walked out of the greenhouse together, meeting many colleagues along the way. Unlike the incessant work at their desks, they now seemed more lively.
"I heard the shredded pork in Peking sauce these past few days has been good, want to try it?"
"Um—I’ll get some spring pancakes then, wouldn’t it be nicer to wrap them?"
"Okay, I’ll go and get three servings of soup."
Soon, the three of them gathered together, each holding a small plate for side dishes, and conversation flowed from herbs to prescriptions, then from research to other departments.
Tang Shu quickly grasped the key point, "So, Cloudscape Pharma has its own appraisal department?"
"Yeah, the head of the appraisal department now was poached by President Jing from the Medical College with a high salary. Usually, the pills we send for appraisal to the Medical College get their certification certificates very quickly."
It’s easier to do things with connections, but Cloudscape Pharma didn’t just have connections; it also had authoritative experts for appraisals.
They could fundamentally increase the pass rate and clearly offer useful suggestions during research, vastly improving everyone’s work efficiency.
"Then... apart from company business, can the Medical College accept personal medicine appraisals?"
Tang Shu’s question made the two of them pause, exchanging puzzled looks.
"I haven’t heard of that—usually those who could trouble the Medical College are almost always company-related."
"However, I can ask for you. My significant other works in the appraisal department. Shushu, do you have a prescription that needs appraisal?"
Tang Shu nodded, "I’ve made some pills myself, and they seem quite effective. If I were to give them to someone..."
"Got it, leave it to me!"
Talking with clever people often saves time and effort.
