After Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer successfully resolved the unexpected situation on the first day of internship, they won high praise from Professor Chen.

That was Professor Chen, who had made great achievements in his professional field and always had a strict vision. The joy and pride in their hearts were overflowing with joy when they received his recognition.

After get off work, Gu Fanxing was like a happy little deer, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and he couldn't suppress the smile in his heart.

Ling Jiuer was equally excited, her cheeks flushed with excitement, making her as cute as a ripe apple.

She hugged Gu Fanxing's arm and said in a skipping manner, "Xingxing, can you believe this? We received praise from Professor Chen on our first day of internship. This is like a dream!"

Gu Fanxing nodded vigorously, her voice full of excitement: "Yes, this is the best proof of our efforts! I still feel it's unreal, as if there is an invisible force pushing me, making me look forward to my future internship life."

As she spoke, she sorted out the documents and held them to her chest, as if she was holding an invaluable treasure.

Ling Jiuer let go of Gu Fanxing's arm and turned around on the spot, her skirt fluttering like a dancing butterfly: "I can't wait to take on the next challenge. Today is just the beginning, and we will definitely achieve even greater results in the future!" Her eyes were full of confidence and longing, as if she saw her future shining in this field.

The two of them were immersed in this joyful atmosphere, sharing their inner feelings with each other.

They recalled Professor Chen's expression and words when he praised them, not missing a single detail, as if they wanted to engrave this honor deeply in their hearts.

Gu Fanxing said with emotion: "Every word of Professor Chen seems to have injected a strong motivation into me and filled me with fighting spirit." Ling Jiuer nodded vigorously and agreed: "Yes, this is not only an affirmation of our performance today, but also an encouragement for our future. We must work harder and live up to this recognition."

However, just as they were happily imagining the future, a storm caused by jealousy was quietly approaching.

Zhang Qing, an old employee, crossed her arms and twisted her waist. Behind her, two colleagues, Li Xuan and Zhao Lin, who were on good terms with her, walked over with a swagger.

When passing by Gu Fanxing, Zhang Qing deliberately tilted her shoulder and bumped into her desk, causing the documents on the desk to scatter all over the floor. "Sorry, I didn't see it." Zhang Qing pulled a fake smile at the corner of her mouth, and there was no apology in her tone.

Gu Fanxing frowned, and he and Ling Jiuer silently bent down to pick up the documents.

Zhang Qing continued to speak sarcastically: "Today you are just lucky, a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, you just got a bargain, don't think you are so great."

Li Xuan nodded hurriedly and agreed in a shrill voice: "That's right, it's just a moment of luck. When it comes to complicated operations, who knows what kind of trouble will arise."

As he spoke, he shook his hair, his eyes full of contempt.

Zhao Lin crossed her arms, raised her nose slightly, and snorted: "The theories I learned in school are not applicable in actual combat."

Hearing these harsh words, Ling Jiuer instantly became furious and her face turned red. Just as she was about to stand up to argue, Gu Fanxing was quick to grab her.

Gu Fanxing still had a polite smile on his face as he said, "Senior Zhang, we know we still have a lot to learn, and we just happened to have learned relevant knowledge today. We will have to rely on your care in the future, so please feel free to give us your guidance." These words were neither humble nor arrogant, and neither allowed Zhang Qing's provocation to succeed, nor did they show proper humility.

Zhang Qing was met with a cold rejection, and she was furious. She snorted coldly, turned around and strode away. Her back seemed to say, "Just wait, this matter is not over yet!"

Seeing this, Li Xuan and Zhao Lin hurriedly followed. Li Xuan muttered as she walked, "Why are you pretending to be so generous? Let's see how long she can be so proud."

Zhao Lin echoed: "That's right, she'll be in trouble next time." The three of them secretly thought to themselves that they must find an opportunity to embarrass the two newcomers so as to consolidate their position in the team and demonstrate their superiority as "old employees."

The next morning, the sunlight shone into the laboratory. It should have been a new beginning, but as soon as Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer walked into the data collection area they were responsible for, they were shocked by the scene before them.

The experimental samples were scattered in a disorderly manner, the notebook for recording data was nowhere to be found, and the surroundings were in a mess.

Ling Jiuer was so angry that her face turned red and her teeth were chattering: "It must be Zhang Qing who did it. She was targeting us yesterday and she actually did such a despicable thing today!"

Gu Fanxing took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, gently patted Ling Jiuer on the shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't panic, getting angry won't solve the problem. The most urgent thing is to see how to minimize the losses." After that, the two of them quickly squatted down and carefully sorted out the experimental samples. Relying on their deep memory of the previous day, they tried to put the samples back in place and tried to restore the original state of data collection.

In the next few days, Zhang Qing became more and more aggressive, constantly coming up with all kinds of tricky ways to make things difficult for Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer.

She deliberately assigned them complex and unreasonable tasks that were time-sensitive and extremely difficult. In team meetings, she found fault with them and made groundless accusations against their work results, trying to embarrass them in front of everyone.

Faced with Zhang Qing's various difficulties, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer had no intention of backing down.

Gu Fanxing always encouraged Ling Jiuer calmly: "We can't be defeated by her. As long as we do our work to the utmost and speak with strength, she will have no reason to target us anymore."

At another project discussion meeting, Zhang Qing used the same old trick again. She sneered at Gu Fanxing's data analysis plan with a look of disdain on her face: "With your internship level, you still want to come up with such a bold plan. It's simply a foolish dream."

Li Xuan quickly chimed in: "That's right. You don't even think about yourself. This plan is full of loopholes." Zhao Lin also shook his head and said: "If this is implemented, the project will be ruined."

Gu Fanxing stood up slowly and explained the basis and advantages of the plan in a clear and orderly manner. Each point of view was supported by detailed data.

Her voice was steady and powerful, and her logic was impeccable, causing everyone present to nod in agreement.

Professor Chen's eyes were full of praise after listening to Gu Fanxing's proposal. He fully affirmed it: "Fanxing's proposal is very innovative. It can be seen that it has been deeply thought out and rigorously analyzed. We who do archaeology need this kind of thinking that dares to break through tradition. Zhang Qing, as an old employee, you should have this innovative spirit instead of blindly denying it."

Zhang Qing's face turned pale and red, and the jealousy in her heart became even stronger.

After the meeting, she pulled Li Xuan and Zhao Lin to a corner, took out a piece of paper from her pocket, on which were densely written some plans, and said in a low voice: "I heard about an internal project with high requirements, and almost no one can complete it. Let's find a way to push these two newcomers in. If something goes wrong, let's see how they can stay here!"

Li Xuan and Zhao Lin's eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly. The three of them gathered together, whispering about their plans, and occasionally letting out a few cold laughs.

On the other side, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer were concentrating on the work at hand and were unaware of the impending crisis.

They don't know that a conspiracy is quietly being woven in the dark, and a more violent storm is about to set off in this small laboratory.
