None of the three people present expected Zuo Qiurong to make this move.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.
Brother Ye’s words stopped halfway, and he stared at her, pursing his lips. His always gentle and elegant face was laced with a thin layer of anger. “Junior Zuo?!”
The expression on Zuo Qiurong’s face became even more enraged. She turned to Brother Ye and sharply said, “We’ve been doing this project for a month already and have already developed a plan. How could we let her join at this time? Should we just let her sit and enjoy the success?”
She had felt bitter ever since Scholar Liao let Qin Ran partic.i.p.ate in the experiment a few days ago. She had taken note of Scholar Liao’s place of value on Qin Ran.
As a student of the researcher, Zuo Qiurong wasn’t narrow-minded. Back then, she had endured for more than a month before she asked Scholar Liao to let her in and help. Only then did she gain his trust. But now, his att.i.tude towards Qin Ran made her blind with jealousy.
“You also know that we haven’t studied much content this month.” Brother Ye reasoned with her patiently. “Scholar Liao said that our junior might even help us in this aspect…”
Even without Scholar Liao, just based on Qin Ran’s obvious talent from her calculations yesterday, Brother Ye was also willing to bring her in.
Slowly crumpling the paper into a ball, Zuo Qiurong looked up at him and sneered. “Help us? She, a new student who just entered the laboratory, wants to join our team? Brother Ye, go back and tell her to obediently stay in the laboratory for three to five years before joining such compet.i.tion! Only then can she tell us she’ll be able to help!”
She casually threw the paper onto the table and left with her phone and keys without eating.
The researchers were all very particular about qualifications. A new student like Qin Ran was no different from interns who had just joined a large company.
Zuo Qiurong and Brother Ye had stayed in the Research Inst.i.tute for years to reach their current status.
It was extremely rare for Qin Ran, who had yet to enter the Research Inst.i.tute, to encounter a special researcher who had come to do experiments in the laboratory.
Zuo Qiurong and Brother Ye separated unhappily.
The two remaining teammates exchanged glances. Both of them were Ph.D. students and knew that Brother Ye and Zuo Qiurong were working in the experiment room of a special researcher. The general direction of their project was under the guidance of Scholar Liao, so they weren’t offended with the new member joining halfway, especially since she was in the same laboratory as Brother Ye…
Just that…
They didn’t dare to casually join in their dispute.
“Brother Ye…” The two of them glanced at Brother Ye and took the role of the mediator. “Don’t fight with Sister Zuo over a new member.”
These two wanted to de-escalate the tensions. Zuo Qiurong looked extremely angry, and it seemed there wasn’t a possibility of resolving the conflict, so they could only work on Brother Ye.
One had the same leaders.h.i.+p position as Brother Ye in the project, while the other was a little junior whose name they didn’t know. Although these two members talked about peace, in fact, the balance of their hearts was already biased towards Zuo Qiurong’s side.
It didn’t matter how many juniors were added, but they couldn’t do without the two core members, Sister Zuo and Brother Ye.

In the afternoon.
Scholar Liao’s experiment had progressed to the middle stage, and he recently asked Qin Ran to calculate the various magnetic field current data.
Brother Ye was full of worries when he returned from lunch.
Once Qin Ran finished calculating the magnetic field current data, he went to her a little apologetically and lowered his voice. “Little junior, sorry, I can’t re-submit the application.”
He was too embarra.s.sed to tell her Zuo Qiurong had torn the application form.
Putting down her computer and hearing this, Qin Ran wasn’t disappointed and just lightly smiled. “It’s okay. Thank you for your kindness.”
This made Brother Ye feel even more guilty.
He returned to his workbench with a heavy heart and tried finding other compet.i.tion teams with an open slot.
But he couldn’t find any.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ran wasn’t bothered at all.
Sitting down, she even opened her WeChat, clicked on Nan Huiyao, Xing Kai, and Chu Heng’s profiles, and pulled them into a group chat.
Nan Huiyao: [Oh, no. Ran Ran, have you been hacked???]
Xing Kai was especially excited. [Big boss, are you bringing us to play games!]
Chu Heng was the most normal and didn’t send anything, just asked what was the matter.
Qin Ran propped her chin up. [Nothing much. There’s an international Physics compet.i.tion, and I lack a few teammates. Are you guys interested?]
Chu Heng: [The popular robot market research at Beijing University and University A recently?]
Because of the intelligent robot butlers released by the Yunguang Consortium, universities in China and abroad had adopted an intelligent research style. The Physics Department had become a hot industry this year, and it was expected that the college entrance examination results next year would have higher scores in the Physics Department.
Nan Huiyao: [I like this!]
Xing Kai, whose mind was still on the Kyushu Tour, remembered that he was last in cla.s.s. [… Can I?]
Qin Ran slowly typed: [I will submit the forms if there are no objections.]
The other two very readily agreed while Xing Kai still felt a little entangled.
It took a few days of feedback after submitting the form. Tomorrow was the weekend.
Qin Ran made an appointment with them to talk about the research project in detail next Monday, and all three of them sent an “OK” emoji.
After confirming their partic.i.p.ation, she notified Princ.i.p.al Xu.
She sent their information to him.
Princ.i.p.al Xu replied with a string of “…” and then—
[There’s one s.p.a.ce left, do you want to include anyone else?]
Qin Ran propped her chin up. [No.]
She exited WeChat after confirming the name list with Princ.i.p.al Xu.
Of course, she didn’t know that after she exited WeChat, the three people unanimously found a bunch of robots and intelligence materials in the Beijing University database.
She reopened the project that Princ.i.p.al Xu wanted her to study.
The collision and absorption of gamma rays and alpha rays between electrons, and the new radioactive substances…
Gamma rays had the greatest impact caused by the nuclear energy transition of the reactor on the human body. They eroded nucleic acids, proteins, and enzymes, leading to the normal operation of various cells in the body, and the loss of function of carrier proteins, even causing cell senescence and death.
Regarding this, only the medical search reports issued by Gu Xichi and Cheng Juan had overcome the problem of the carrier protein’s activity. They had developed an enzyme to activate the carrier protein…
However, Chen Shulan hadn’t persisted till then…
The two had fought against this research their whole lives, but neither escaped the fate of radiation.
Qin Ran pursed her lips and flipped to the next page.

At 6 pm.
Cheng Juan took the car keys and went out to meet Qin Ran.
He left Cheng Mu alone.
Not long after, Cheng Wenru came in and waited for Qin Ran to leave school.
She wanted to discuss Sunday matters with her.
Before Qin Ran returned, she crossed her legs and sorted through a pile of mail.
After Cheng Mu greeted her, he sat down at the dining table, took his phone, and chatted with s.h.i.+ Liming.
s.h.i.+ Liming: “When can I see Miss Qin?”
Cheng Mu: “The day after tomorrow.”
He was very concise and clear as if he knew Qin Ran’s schedule inside out.
s.h.i.+ Liming admired him very much. “Thank you, Mr. Cheng Mu.”
He was about to say “No problem” when he heard someone knocking on the door.
He opened the door to see a man in black who looked to be a trainer holding a courier box.
He didn’t look like a courier man.
“h.e.l.lo, does Miss Qin Ran live here?” The man in black politely asked.
Cheng Mu nodded expressionlessly.
The man handed the courier to him. “This is Miss Qin Ran’s courier.”
Then, without even asking for Cheng Mu’s signature, he turned and directly entered the elevator.
His working style was completely different from other couriers.
It wasn’t the first time he received something for Qin Ran, so he expressionlessly put the courier on the sofa, waiting for her to return.
“Ran Ran’s courier?” Cheng Wenru looked up.
Cheng Mu casually nodded, then returned to the stool, turning on his phone again.
Cheng Wenru gave it another glance. The courier had a handwritten recipient name and contact information.
It seemed like the person who wrote it was very irritable and wild?
What kind of messy recipient name was this?
Cheng Wenru stared at it for a long time, trying to decipher it—
“LB?”
“IB?”
“LV?”
“VW?”
“LW?”
