The green camphor tree has a deep view

Chapter 7 Which basket should you put your eggs in?

Wen Qing returned to the study room and opened the window. The gentle breeze blew on her face, making her feel much calmer.

She remembered Gu Huaiyuan's advice just now: Don't think too much, concentrate on studying, and use your talents to the fullest, and everything will be fine.

Yes, besides studying, is there any other way to make her better? Even if it can't improve her situation immediately, at least it won't make her life worse.

Wen Qing took a deep breath towards the tall camphor tree outside the window, and felt the fragrance instantly fill her chest, as if she was immersed in clear water and washed. She gathered her thoughts, opened her schoolbag, and prepared to review her lessons, when she heard a call from outside the door.

"Wen Qing, open the door. I have some explosive news for you!"

It was Senior Sister Zhu Yu. Wen Qing opened the door with a smile and saw Zhu Yu running towards her with an excited look on her face and a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

“What news? So exciting.”

As soon as Zhu Yu entered the room, he sat down on the chair in front of the table, turned around quickly, and took the opportunity to glance around the room: "Your little house is really well tidy. I feel comfortable as soon as I come in."

Wen Qing smiled and said, "No way."

"I have been in the Department of Electronics for nearly seven years, so I still have some say. Although the female students under Professor Gu are all excellent academically, there is no one as versatile as you."

Wen Qing felt embarrassed by the compliment and quickly changed the subject: "Let's get down to business. What's the news?"

"Professor Gu's laboratory is going to be split up!" Zhu Yu said in a low voice.

"Separation? When?" Wen Qing was shocked. The laboratory led by Gu Huaiyuan had always been well-organized. Why did they suddenly split up? Did the brothers have an internal conflict?

"It's right in front of us." Zhu Yu lowered his voice and spoke as fast as a string of cannonballs. "Last month, a technical expert came back from abroad and is going to take over the base station signal transmission project."

"Just because of a technician, they want to split up?" Wen Qing was speechless. What kind of technical master is this? He is simply here to cause trouble.

"He's not just an ordinary technician, he's a master! What does a master mean? Not only does he have to be skilled, he also has to be rich! He runs his own technology company, and it's said that it's developing very fast, and he's just waiting for the base station project to land and push the company to go public."

Zhu Yu said she was tired and ran to the water dispenser to find a paper cup. Wen Qing walked over, found a spare cup from the small cabinet next to the water dispenser, and helped her get water.

"Since his company is doing so well, why does he want to interfere with us?"

"It's not like he's interning. He graduated from our school and even interned in our lab." Zhu Yu took the water, took a sip, and continued, "According to gossip, he's a relative of Professor Gu."

"What a good relative, he came back and started to split up the family." Wen Qing curled her lips and asked, "What are Professor Gu's plans?"

"What else can we do? His good relative has suggested that either Professor Gu invest in the company with his technology, or he can send some people to work with him and he will pay for the research services." Zhu Yu sat back in his chair and looked at Wen Qing. "Do you think Professor Gu will invest?"

"That shouldn't be the case. If I buy shares, won't I become that person's subordinate?"

"He won't be a subordinate, but he will be controlled by others and can no longer focus on research." Zhu Yu shrugged and said, "So, we have to give him some manpower, and we have to split up."

"Does the department have to give him this project?" Wen Qing asked, "If it were someone else, they wouldn't necessarily make such an impolite request."

"Maybe there is no time - the results came out last year, and the department leaders want to show their achievements, so they have been contacting the school and enterprises to urge the implementation of the project. However, it is easy to find wealthy sponsors, but it is difficult to find sponsors who understand technology. It is not easy to find a decent enterprise that comes to the door, and the department will definitely grab it."

"Then...how should this family be divided?" Wen Qing asked, with a confused look on her face.

Zhu Yu stood up, looked at the camphor tree outside the window and took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

"I've made up my mind. I'll follow the project! When the project is completed, it will be just in time for my graduation next year, which will help me find a job."

"You're not going to pursue a Ph.D. anymore?" Wen Qing asked, looking at her resolute profile.

"I won't study anymore!" Zhu Yu said bitterly, "I'm almost 25 years old! I still have to graduate, get married, make money, have kids... I can't waste any more time on my studies."

Wen Qing smiled and said jokingly, "Yes, otherwise Senior Brother Jiang would not be able to wait any longer."

Jiang Xueming and Zhu Yu have been in love for three years, and the wedding house in their hometown has been prepared. He is just waiting for Zhu Yu to graduate so that he can marry her.

Wen Qing envied Zhu Yu very much. A campus romance that came to fruition was a luxury that was beyond her reach.

The poor family background, the pressure of schoolwork, the burden from her family… all made her like a tight string, and she dared not indulge in emotional relationships. She always had higher goals to climb, and all uncertain things had to be excluded - including love.

When talking about Jiang Xueming, Zhu Yu looked worried: "Don't mention it! He refused to go with me. We had several arguments over this."

"Brother Jiang wants to stay with Professor Gu?"

"Yes. He doesn't trust that big shot, saying that he is too gangster, profit-driven and unreliable." Zhu Yu was disappointed, "I think he has stayed in the ivory tower for too long and is out of touch with reality! How can a businessman who has been struggling in society stand firm among the cunning people without a bit of evil spirit? If everyone is as pure and innocent as Professor Gu, this world will no longer be a world."

Zhu Yu couldn't help but worry about Wen Qing again: "What do you think? You can be admitted to graduate school. If you plan to study all the way, you don't have to worry about this. Just follow the professor to do research and publish articles, and you won't be far behind in the future."

Wen Qing shook her head and said, "I want to find a job as soon as possible. As for graduate school, I can study for a working degree after graduation when I have time."

Zhu Yu laughed and said, "If Jiang Xueming heard what you said, he would definitely get angry - a top student who was carefully selected doesn't have the heart to study hard until death. He thought that he was born into a wealthy family like Professor Gu and didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but he forgot that he also needs to eat!"

Wen Qing thought for a while and said, "Sister, don't worry too much about Brother Jiang. I think his choice is not wrong. Besides, it's always good to put your eggs in two baskets."

"What about you? Which basket do you plan to put it in?" Zhu Yu asked with a smile. This little apprentice sister is really smart and considerate. I like her no matter how I look at her.

"Of course I'll go with you! I also want to find a job as soon as possible." Wen Qing smiled and shook Zhu Yu's hand gently, looking like a coquettish little girl.

"That's great!" Zhu Yu thought for a moment and said, "When I graduate next year, I will try to join Jingshen Technology and explore the way for you."

"What kind of job do you want to join?" Wen Qing's shaking hand suddenly stopped.

"Depth of Field Technology? That big shot's company."

Wen Qing seemed to be hit on the head with a stick and was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Yu asked curiously.

"Nothing." Wen Qing shook her head vigorously, paused, and said, "I'm just worried that my education level is low and I'm afraid that if I go there, it will hinder the project... Otherwise, forget it."

"With Professor Gu's endorsement, what are you afraid of?" Zhu Yu said with a smile, "Since you have decided to find a job early, you can't look back and forth, otherwise, you will miss it forever."

Seeing Wen Qing lower her head and keep silent, Zhu Yu said gently: "When the time comes, you will be in my team. If you encounter any difficulties, you should find me first and then I will find Zhao Jin. With him around, there is usually nothing that cannot be solved."

"Senior Brother Zhao is going too?"

Zhao Jin is also Gu Huaiyuan's doctoral student. His academic level is not as good as Jiang Xueming's, but he is smart and capable, and is quite capable of coordinating internal and external relationships. Since Wen Qing entered the laboratory, Zhao Jin has been taking good care of her. It was he who arranged for Wen Qing's study room. When he heard that she was working part-time as a tutor, he also introduced several children from wealthy families to her as students. Therefore, Wen Qing was both close to him and grateful to him.

"He was the first to sign up, and now he's the leader of our team." Zhu Yu sighed slightly, "It is said that Depth of Field Technology initially chose Jiang Xueming. If he hadn't insisted on not going, Zhao Jin wouldn't have been so successful."

"Since you and Senior Brother Zhao are here, I'll go too." Wen Qing pursed her lips and made up her mind.

"I'll report to Senior Brother Zhao right away." Zhu Yu said happily, "I'll add you to the group later. We'll have a meeting next Monday with the people from Depth of Field Technology. Please see the group notification for the specific time and place."

After that, he approached her with a gossipy look on his face, and said with a suppressed smile: "In fact, Senior Brother Zhao had already guessed that you would come. He is very happy that you are here!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Wen Qing blushed, "Senior Brother Zhao has a girlfriend."

"They broke up a long time ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager to participate in the project." Zhu Yu pouted and winked at Wen Qing, saying, "He will graduate next year and has good abilities. Would you like to consider him?"

"It should be you who should consider something, you're so eager to get married!" Wen Qing pushed her away with a smile, then turned back to the table to review her homework.
