The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

Chang Ning turned around and saw Gu Yanzhou, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar to her for a moment.

He was dressed in a suit, had very fair skin, and calm amber eyes; he really didn't look like a politician.

"Why are you here?"

As soon as he asked the question, Chang Ning realized that the Academy of Sciences was affiliated with the government, so it was not surprising that he was here on an occasion like today.

Then, thinking of his question, he said, "I think this research is very meaningful."

These words were a clear aftereffect of spending too much time in the lab. Gu Yanzhou seemed to chuckle, then suddenly reached out and gently tugged at her arm: "Be careful."

People around her were pushing and shoving to get to the center. A man passed by and almost bumped into her, but Gu Yanzhou didn't let go of her hand. He pulled her arm and led her to a quiet corner.

Chang Ning felt a little uncomfortable. To be honest, the two of them weren't even close. She withdrew her hand and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Gu Yanzhou's hand froze in mid-air for a moment before he put it in his pocket and looked down at her: "You don't seem very enthusiastic about awakening your spiritual power?"

"It's not bad."

Chang Ning said, "If the technology is mature, I would certainly be willing to try it."

Having witnessed a previous manic episode, which even Gu Yanzhou appeared to be in extreme pain, Chang Ning didn't think she could endure it.

Moreover, according to Dr. Lin, it can only be maintained for a short period of time, and no one knows its subsequent development or whether there will be any aftereffects.

Chang Ning still cherishes her life very much.

Gu Yanzhou didn't delve any deeper and changed the subject: "I heard you're also doing research on bipolar disorder?"

Chang Ning looked up in surprise: "How did you know?"

“I know your company’s boss.”

He hadn't originally planned to come, but he changed his mind at the last minute after receiving a message from Chu Xian.

"That's it."

As expected, the circles of the upper class are interconnected. No wonder they were able to help her get leave last time. Chang Ning immediately understood this.

He was also a little embarrassed: "I haven't achieved anything yet."

Scientific research does indeed depend on talent. For example, Dr. Lin, at his age in Changning, had already developed the first sustained-release drug for bipolar disorder, which made him famous overnight.

However, she was relegated to a separate post because she dragged the lab down.

"Don't underestimate yourself. In scientific research, sometimes 90% of your time and energy is spent finding direction, so it's normal to feel confused at times."

This sounded like a consolation, and Chang Ning pouted, "You've never done scientific research!"

She felt a little embarrassed as soon as she said it, wondering if she had been too ungrateful. It was all Gu Yanzhou's fault for acting like they were old friends. She wondered if she should apologize, but then she heard Gu Yanzhou say, "Although I don't do scientific research, I know a fair bit about this area because of my work."

Not only was he not angry, but his attitude was also so warm. Chang Ning said "oh" and lowered her head.

what happened?

What on earth is he doing here?

The two remained silent for a while, then he suddenly asked in a hesitant tone, "Are you on a blind date today?"

"what?"

Chang Ning looked up in surprise and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no!"

Why does this person ask so many questions? And the boss, why does he tell everyone everything?!

Gu Yanzhou nodded and said, "You're still young, you should focus on your career. It's better to rely on yourself than on others."

Chang Ning looked at him suspiciously, a strange feeling rising in her heart. What exactly did this person mean?

Did he see through her thoughts?

Unfortunately, Chang Ning didn't have a chance to ask, as Gu Yanzhou was soon called away by someone else. After the meeting, Chang Ning had dinner with her secretary and then returned to the laboratory.

Nearly half of the one-year deadline her boss gave her has passed, and she's back to a state of complete confusion. If others can produce one achievement after another, there's no reason why she can't!

Chang Ning thought of Gu Yanzhou's 90% theory. Although it wasn't very useful, it still sounded quite encouraging. She printed out the sentence and pasted it on her lab bench, and then started spending all her time in the lab from dawn till dusk again.

If you've tried your best, even if you don't succeed in the end, you can tell yourself that you have a clear conscience.

Chang Ning is no longer fixated on the research direction. Since the first version produced something similar to a bipolar inhibitor, she has decided to iterate on that foundation.

Mental power only emerged in the last few hundred years, and no one knows which factor changed before and after its emergence. Chang Ning searched for a lot of ancient books and planned to conduct a comparative experiment on mental power before and after its emergence.

But this presents a problem: all the raw materials she needs are copied directly from ancient books, which are not available in the laboratory and are also rare on the market.

The person in charge told her to figure out how to purchase the goods herself and then apply for reimbursement from the company later.

Chang Ning then searched extensively for sellers on the StarNet. Perhaps the item she wanted was too niche, as many legitimate merchants did not have it. In the end, she found a source of goods from an unlicensed individual seller.

One of the materials was called Seletorite, and the seller listed it for a whopping 7800 star coins per gram. Although the seller was generous, there was still a limit to the experimental budget. Chang Ning bargained with the seller and finally got the price down to 4800!

But Chang Ning still felt it was too expensive and asked if they could lower the price.

The other party sent a message: I've already given you the lowest price.

But she doesn't just need one gram of this; she needs at least a pound!

Changning typed: This thing is really important to me!

The other person was indifferent: Oh, what does that have to do with me?

Before Chang Ning could reply, another long string of messages came flying in: Do you even know where this thing comes from? Do you know how much it costs to collect all this stuff? And you expect me to give you free shipping!

In short: Buy it or don't, it's up to you.

Chang Ning racked her brains: "Do you know what? I'm researching a drug that can effectively suppress mania. It's almost successful; all we're missing is this one raw material."

Chang Ning: If you can sell it to me at a lower price, I'll definitely give you a finished product for free once it's successfully developed.

Changning: No, ten portions!

There was no reply from the other end for a while. Chang Ning wondered if she was choked by the promises the other party made. Just when she was thinking of buying it at the price of 4800, she saw the latest message: Okay.

Chang Ning was somewhat incredulous, but not long after, she actually received the materials.

Chang Ning: "...???"

Does anyone actually eat this pancake?

Once the materials were received, Chang Ning immediately began experiments. Two months later, instead of developing an inhibitor, he created some strange and unusual things, such as a 24-hour energy booster.

Help! This isn't about suppressing mania, it's about making them erupt faster!

Chang Ning nervously reported the news, and the boss came over to take a look and said, "It will probably be in high demand during the final exams."

To keep students energized during last-minute cramming sessions.

"Take it out and test it yourself. If someone buys it, then you've passed the test."
