I emptied my family's possessions to join the army, and my abstinent superior doted on me.

Chapter 97 The Great Engagement
Qian Lai didn't argue with her, and first performed maintenance on the bearing according to the steps in the maintenance manual.

Then, I returned to the machine, skillfully donned all the equipment, installed the sample tubes, set the parameters, and started running the machine.

The centrifuge ran smoothly, and this time, the machine was almost silent.

Everyone watched in astonishment as this "junior high school student" operated the most expensive machine with effortless grace, like a noble queen tending to her warhorse.

"So handsome!"

A little girl's admiring voice came from behind me.

Qian Lai seemed not to hear anything at all; at this moment, no external noise could distract her.

“The rotation speed can be increased by another 15%.” Qian Lai looked at the interim results in his hand and then turned to Lao Shitou to suggest, “However, we need to set the time limit lower, for example, half an hour.”

There's a timer here; it should remind the user when the time is up.

Otherwise, I'm worried the motor will overheat.

Old Shi was an honest and kind man. It was rare to find someone who could understand this foreign language repair manual, so he quickly wrote down all the problems one by one.

"Why are there so many people gathered here today?"

Behind them came a voice that Qian Lai didn't like.

"Xiao Fan! Come and take a look. I didn't expect Xiao Qian could understand this English maintenance manual."

If she hadn't discovered the problem, this machine would probably have malfunctioned.

Bian Sui kept praising it.

Xiao Fan, along with Xiao Shen, a junior researcher from the same group, quickly squeezed in upon hearing the noise.

how can that be!

"You even know about CSCI?" Xiao Shen was truly stunned!

Just before she came in, Brother Fan told her that he would watch how this "junior high school student" would embarrass herself at the research institute.

Last time, in front of Leng Gaoyan and John, they didn't dare to discuss it.

So what if I read that article a little earlier than them?

There's absolutely nothing to brag about.

In their eyes, Qian Lai was a good-for-nothing who lacked real skills and only knew how to talk big but was all show and no substance.

Thanks to John's recommendation and his personal relationship with Leng Gaoyan, he got a good job at the research institute without any trouble.

They worked themselves to the bone for years to get this job!
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable; the reason you lost is because you have no connections.

Who can accept this?!
Brother Fan is right, this is unfair!
But when he came in, Xiao Shen almost broke down.

She was using such an expensive centrifuge and even knew how to obtain ultrapure plasmid DNA.

At this moment, Qian Lai did not respond to Xiao Shen's question and stopped the test he had just been doing.

She stood up and said to Bian Sui, "Teacher Bian, I just looked at the samples you gave me, and I feel that these gene sequences are a bit strange."

She pointed to the image under the microscope: "Look, has this been artificially interfered with?"

Bian Sui's hand, which had been approaching, paused slightly as she came over to verify Qian Lai's words.

"If I'm not mistaken, this might be the result of some kind of hybrid gene. Professor Bian, if we continue with this sample, what data will we get?"

The data will all be wrong!
This is a major experimental accident.

"You understand gene sequences?" Xiao Shen was surprised.

"I discovered it by accident, so it's more of a guess."

Qian Lai responded to Xiao Shen with humility, only to discover that Xiao Fan had left the lab at some point.

"I didn't expect you to be not only technically skilled, but also quite meticulous."

It seems we'll have to reculture the samples. Sigh! Bian Sui sighed heavily, looking down at the petri dish in her hand.

These were all things she asked her colleagues in the same group to help her maintain while she was away on business.

Unexpectedly, none of them are working anymore.

Qian Lai knew that this was a time of extreme scarcity of resources, and that domestic research on grains, oils, cotton, vegetables, and even sugars had achieved strategic breakthroughs.

Currently, Bian Sui is tackling the challenges of hybrid wheat seed production, and if successful, it will have epic significance. "Professor Bian, would you consider a new seed production system?"

Subsequently, Qian Lai compared the advantages and disadvantages of traditional methods with the photoperiod-temperature-sensitive male sterility solution and gave a brief explanation to Bian Sui.

"This method is gradually becoming popular in China. It represents a new attempt at a rapid seed production system in the short term."

Seeing Bian Sui nodding repeatedly, Xiao Shen also asked Lao Shitou for a piece of paper and silently began to take notes.

The office staff in the equipment warehouse were completely confused, but they knew that what the girl said seemed to be something that Researcher Bian agreed with.

"Using this method, we should be able to get new samples quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl who had just whispered that she was "too cool" couldn't help but clap her hands.

Inspired by her, the others also applauded Qian Lai.

Especially the edges and the old stone.

Indeed, talent should not be underestimated; the research institute is truly full of hidden masters.

These are all experiences accumulated by later generations, and Qian Lai felt unworthy of them.

In particular, she directly adopted the real achievements of her predecessors in the cultivation method of "hybrid wheat".

What she was more concerned about was why the laboratory samples were deliberately destroyed.

A vague sense of foreboding crept into her heart.

Could there be enemy agents in the research institute?

After everyone left, Qian Lai focused intently on completing his research task, so much so that he forgot to eat lunch.

It wasn't until Wang Caiyun was about to leave work and came to urge her that she suddenly realized how fast time had passed.

The Gu family's banquet was held in a private room on the third floor of the State Guest Hotel.

Qian Lai was already late getting off work, and on top of that, she forgot to research the route beforehand. It took her a long time to find the bus stop, and by the time she finally arrived at the restaurant, she was already fifteen minutes late.

In the private room.

A huge round table.

The maternal grandmother is in the middle, with her two daughters on either side.

Cheng Fangping was with Gu Weiguo, but between Gu Weiguo and Gu Hanchuan was Xiao Li, whose mind was in turmoil.

On the other side, Cheng Fang'an was flanked by Qiao Muting, Gu Yue, and Gu Hanze.

Everyone had been sitting here waiting for about twenty minutes, but Qian Lai still hadn't appeared, and Cheng Fangping's face was really not looking good.

"That Qian Lai is going too far! Is she even coming?"

Even if you're not coming, you should at least let me know in advance.

How could she make her elders wait for her?

Gu Hanchuan didn't even glance at his mother, but turned to Xiao Li and said, "Go to the door and greet her."

"Yes!"

Xiao Li was so happy that he stood up and ran out.

Why did they have to make him sit between the leader and his father? Every minute and every second was like sitting on pins and needles.

"Fangping, don't be too anxious. Didn't you say Xiaoqian was coming from work? Maybe she'll be delayed on the way."

Grandma knew that her youngest daughter was becoming increasingly unruly.

This was due to her long-term pampering, coupled with the fact that her husband's family and son were high-ranking officials in the military and local government, which made her increasingly arrogant and domineering.

She didn't like her daughter's personality either, but what could she do when she had raised her herself?

If they are your own flesh and blood, you can only acknowledge them.

Suddenly, the door to the private room opened.

Xiao Li followed several service staff members in, holding a banner that read: Congratulations to Comrade Gu Hanchuan on his engagement!
