Chapter 412: 411. Unseen little helper?

"Professor Yu and Section Chief Ju are aware that I’m currently employed at Cloudscape Pharma. I’ve met Miss Tang a few times before in the laboratory there."

Indeed, they had only met a few times, not enough to form a deep relationship.

Tang Shu had gone to Cloudscape Pharma a total of five times, each time to process the Exquisite Plant. The two laboratories were right next to each other, so the chance of passing by each other was quite high. Sometimes they would discuss a few questions, essentially just a nodding acquaintance.

Now that he mentioned it, Professor Yu also remembered, "Indeed, Xiao Shu has deep insights into the processing of Exquisite Plant. It was I who initially recommended her, along with Master Xie."

At that time, it had been her who had brought the Exquisite Plant back from Yun Province.

Section Chief Ju couldn’t help but look at Tang Shu a few more times, "You’re so young, yet you’re interested in the processing of the Exquisite Plant? The younger generation really is awe-inspiring!"

Skills that Master Xie deemed impressive must certainly be extraordinary.

At this moment, however, Section Chief Ju only thought Tang Shu was somewhat exceptional and was unaware that she was the one in full control of the Exquisite Plant processing at Cloudscape Pharma.

"I dare not claim such credit, I’ve just had some previous experience with it."

Once everyone was seated again, Professor Yu looked forward to the thick stack of A4 papers in Tang Shu’s hands with some expectation.

"Are you here to turn in your assignment this time?"

"Yes."

"It’s finally my turn, isn’t it?"

When mentioning handing in homework, Professor Yu’s tone held a bit of jealousy, still harboring some issues with Tang Shu becoming his spouse’s student.

Tang Shu smiled, finding the old man truly adorable.

So much time had passed, yet Professor Yu was still jealous of his own spouse; according to the teacher’s own words, he might as well have fallen into a vat of vinegar.

She pushed the printed content she had toward him.

"This time’s assignment is for you."

The previous few times she had come to the family courtyard, indeed it had been because of assignments from Old Madam Yu. Now, the research on the stone tablet had reached a stopping point, and she wouldn’t hand in anything related to it again before visiting the ancient tomb.

Professor Yu hummed with dissatisfaction and started looking through the bound papers.

"We’ve run into quite a few problems in our recent research. Your timely submission of homework spares you from my grumbles."

"Thank you for your understanding, Professor."

Tang Shu smoothly answered, treating him like a petulantly whimsical elder.

Their warm interaction attracted the attention of the two people sitting opposite them.

Qian Mingxue’s gaze shifted from the two of them, eventually resting on the thick stack of papers, his eyes thoughtful.

Section Chief Ju, however, was completely puzzled, "What, the homework you assign to your students is also related to the Snow Soul Grass research?"

"Of course, as Xiao Shu is a member of the research team, I’m counting on her to help us solve some difficult questions."

"A member of the research team? But... our team currently lacks a junior assistant we’ve never met, doesn’t it?"

At this point, Section Chief Ju seemed to remember something, suddenly realizing, "So Xiao Tang is that junior assistant who hasn’t been to the lab yet?!"

Professor Yu, who led the team, had openings for five assistants since the research team’s inception, but only four had been seen, with just the one remaining whose name no one knew.

Every time it was mentioned, Master Yu would always say ’They’ll arrive when the time comes, what’s the hurry?’

Turns out the person was right here all along?

However... even if an assistant is exceptionally talented, they should have appeared in the research team at least once, and Master Yu is not one to let the younger generation advance by seniority alone.

What exactly is going on here?
