The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul
Chapter 570 - 569. Tang Shu=Tang Shu?!

Chapter 570: 569. Tang Shu=Tang Shu?!

Tang Shu paused, her usually placid eyes flashing a hint of silent assent; she extended her finger and pointed to the work badge on her chest.

"Here is my name."

"..."

Meng Yunyun’s expression stiffened, clearly impatient.

"Then this isn’t a place you can come to either..."

"Wait."

Tang Shu interrupted her long speech, lifting the work badge in her right hand that she hadn’t had time to attach to her chest.

"I’m a member here; I think I should have the right to enter, shouldn’t I?"

The work badge was identical to the one on Meng Yunyun’s chest, with the same lanyard, material, and color—the only difference was that her name was replaced with the characters for Tang Shu.

"Impossible, how could you have a work badge from here?"

Meng Yunyun was incredulous, stepping forward to check multiple times, and indeed, there in the bottom right corner was the distinctive red seal unique to the laboratory, clear and textured.

It was real.

How could this be?

"Tang Shu...Tang Shu?!"

She remembered that one of Professor Yu’s assistants also went by this name and had even participated in writing a paper, but since the formation of the research team, that person had never appeared; they, the assistants, had privately speculated that this individual might be one of Professor Yu’s students...

No, it couldn’t be such a coincidence; that person had to be at least in their thirties or forties, definitely not this freshman.

"Did you pick up someone else’s work badge???"

Meng Yunyun’s eyes were filled with skepticism.

Tang Shu: "..."

She deeply doubted the logical thinking ability and stress resistance of some students at the Medical College.

"I’m not that free; this is mine."

She bypassed the person before her and confidently headed toward Professor Yu’s office.

Having not been there for a long time, even though the layout in the lab had partially changed, the main offices had remained the same; with a glance, she could see a bustling figure through the partition.

"Professor Yu."

Tang Shu knocked on the doorframe and called out a greeting.

"Hmm? Xiao Shu, you’re here?"

Professor Yu looked at her through glasses, his typically reserved face lighting up with a smile, waving her over.

"Just in time, can you take a look at this prescription and see if there’s anything wrong with it?"

Once Tang Shu walked in, Section Chief Ju, having heard the voice, emerged from a corner, very pleased.

"Tang Shu?"

"Section Chief Ju."

"You’ve come at just the right time; I was planning to send the report to you, but now that saves me the effort."

The other party wanted to hand it to her, but having touched some herbs, he found it inconvenient for the moment.

"I’ll come to you for it later; you’re busy now, right?"

"Okay, I’ll find you for a chat after I’m done."

Section Chief Ju smiled and turned back to his work on processing the medicinal herbs.

Meanwhile, Tang Shu took the handwritten prescription from Professor Yu’s hand and pondered over it for a moment.

"You could try replacing the Red Ginseng with Codonopsis—it would work much better, and furthermore... increase the Kudzu Root to 15 grams to boost the efficacy."

"Hmm? That’s a good idea; I’ll give it a try."

Before long, the two of them were deep in conversation, with a separate wooden table beside them where medicinal herbs were bubbling away, providing a stark contrast to the adjacent Western-style experimental equipment.

An amalgamation of East and West, ancient and modern medicine.

Even though he had seen it many times, Tang Shu still found the scene before him quite strange.

At the door, having come back to her senses, Meng Yunyun watched the harmonious scene from afar, her lips tightly pursed, her gaze complex.

This scene forced her to accept a fact: this Tang Shu was indeed that Tang Shu.

The laboratory where Professor Yu worked occupied the entire floor and was about two hundred square meters in size. Wood doors separated the laboratory and the office space, ensuring both office work and experimental research could proceed without interference.

The laboratory was not originally populous. Today, all three main researchers and five assistants were present, and from time to time, students would emerge from the rooms, showing surprise at the two engrossed in discussion.

"Who is that?"

"Did our group get a new member?"

"It looks like a girl, could she be a professor’s student?"

Two assistants approached Meng Yunyun with curiosity, bombarding her with questions, and after a long while, they only received two words in response.

"Tang Shu."

***

Half an hour later, Professor Yu called everyone into the meeting room.

Once everyone had taken their seats, the eyes of four assistants all fell on Tang Shu, filled with scrutiny, curiosity, and of course, some doubt.

The most astonished among them was Du An. As his gaze landed on the person opposite, the vaguely familiar features allowed him to recognize at first glance who it was.

Tang Shu.

The daughter of Aunt Xu and her ex-husband, Qianyu’s sister without any blood relation.

Referring to her as a sister didn’t seem quite right since he had never met Tang Shu at Xu’s house, having seen her only once or twice in passing on campus. Moreover, she didn’t seem to be liked by his fiancée.

She seemed to know her place and didn’t impose on the Xu family; at least he had never heard about her through the Xu family or his fiancée. Whether she had privately used the Xu family’s resources was a different matter altogether.

"Let me introduce you all; this is Tang Shu, she can be considered your junior, and is the very person who first discovered Snow Soul Grass," Professor Yu declared, and as he finished speaking, Tang Shu nodded to everyone in greeting.

"Greetings to the professors, and hello to my seniors," she said.

Being the youngest in the room, she was surrounded by three graduate students among the four assistants, with the other, Meng Yunyun, already a junior.

Upon hearing this, everyone involuntarily gasped, completely stunned by the words "discovered the Snow Soul Grass."

Even though they had speculated this possibility upon seeing her here, they were all certain their assumptions were far-fetched.

They knew Tang Shu as the little junior who took the entire school by storm with her acting career; they had even seen her "beauty contest" photos in school forums and chat rooms, leaving a strong impression.

Even though each of them was a top student, who didn’t enjoy a bit of gossip to relieve the stress?

Still, no one would have connected the Tang Shu before them with the previously unpublished paper and the assistant who had never appeared.

It just wasn’t conceivable; the difference was too great, and even with the same name, everyone would have remarked on the coincidence and let it be.

That is until Professor Yu introduced her with such gravity.

"..."

Wow~~ This was indeed news that could blow everyone away.

Among those present, Meng Yunyun, who had just learned of it, still pursed her lips, looking down at a report on the table, while Du An was also shocked as he looked at Tang Shu, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

She was that Tang Shu?

A celebrity active on the internet and television, and the same person who had caused quite a stir in the medical field because of a paper—they were one and the same?

Even someone as mentally composed as Du An was taken aback by this news.

"Alright, now that everyone is acquainted," said Professor Yu, his mind preoccupied with research data and completing the introduction in a single sentence.
