On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

That evening, Xu Yuan and Su Chenxi had a half-hour video chat. Su Chenxi was moved by Xu Yuan's daring trip to find samples. Her older brother told her that Xu Yuan did this to research a drug that could save her father.

Xu Yuan also learned about Gu Taoyang's current condition from her. It seems that she really can't be lazy anymore and must develop a drug as soon as possible.

The next morning, Xu Yuan got up as soon as it was light and drove towards the laboratory. When she arrived, her other colleagues had not yet arrived at work. Xu Yuan sat in the laboratory and saw that the samples she had retrieved were all alive and well. With the analysis book from her predecessors in hand, she had a clearer research direction.

When her colleagues arrived, Xu Yuan had already been sitting there working for two hours.

"That's incredibly dedicated!"

"There's no other way. Young Master Gu's father is still waiting for Sister Xiaoyuan's medicine to save his life! I also heard that Young Master Gu went with Sister Xiaoyuan this time because he was able to successfully capture the sample, and their relationship was quite ambiguous the whole way!"

Liu Meimei happened to overhear this and stepped forward to ask, "Where did you hear that from?"

"Li Jun, one of Xiaoyuan's teammates, had dinner with me last night, and that's what he said."

Li Meimei stared jealously at Xu Yuan in the laboratory. It turned out that while she was still fantasizing, Xu Yuan had already made her move first. How despicable!

If Xu Yuan can successfully develop an antidote to save Gu Heting's father, wouldn't she be guaranteed the position of Mrs. Gu? Xu Yuan's relentless research isn't because she's so great; she simply wants the status of Mrs. Gu.

Li Meimei happened to be in the same group. A sly glint flashed in her eyes. Who said only Xu Yuan could research this drug? She could too. Whoever researched the drug the fastest would win Gu Heting's heart.

Li Meimei pushed open the laboratory door and said to Xu Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, I heard you went through a lot of trouble to find this sample. Have you made any breakthroughs yet?"

"It's still under research, Meimei. Here's the data I've recorded. Could you upload it to the system for everyone to refer to?"

"Okay, I'll record it right away." Li Meimei took her record sheet and sat down in front of the computer. She looked at how much data Xu Yuan could produce in just one morning, and her jealousy intensified. Xu Yuan was indeed a capable person.

"Xiaoyuan, I heard that Mr. Gu also went this time."

“Yes, we were able to get the samples thanks to him,” Xu Yuan replied.

Li Meimei was now filled with regret. She had originally wanted to go, but when she heard that it was a primitive, uninhabited forest, she backed out.

"He must be a very easy person to get along with! I heard he cares about you a lot!"

Xu Yuan was looking at a set of data and didn't hear her speak. Li Meimei blushed with embarrassment and snorted inwardly, "What's with the attitude! Deliberately ignoring me, huh!" After saying that, Li Meimei's subordinate immediately typed a message, deliberately mistyping a data point.

When submitting the data forms, she deliberately removed one, so that even if Xu Yuan retrieved the forms later to check, there would be a missing data sheet.

Xu Yuan was unaware of Li Meimei's malicious intentions. In her eyes, researchers respected and took data very seriously because the development of a drug could save millions of lives.

This is an essential belief for researchers: to prioritize saving lives.

At noon, a takeout order from a high-end restaurant was delivered to the experimental group. All the group members were astonished when they saw the sumptuous lunch.

"My God! Is this a Black Forest Truffle Egg Tart?"

"I know this brand. It's a restaurant that only rich people dare to go to. How much does this table cost now?!"

"That's at least a year's salary for us!"

"Who sent it?"

"Who else could it be? That young master Gu! We're all thanks to Sister Xiaoyuan, otherwise, we'd never be able to afford egg tarts made with black truffles in our entire lives!"

"And this veal steak smells so good."

A smile flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes. Just then, her phone received a message. She picked it up and saw it was from Gu Heting: "Did you receive your takeout?"

Xu Yuan smiled gently and replied, "Just delivered."

"Okay, then you guys relax and have some fun. I'll take care of your afternoon tea every day from now on."

Xu Yuan quickly replied, "This is too much of a burden for you!"

"It's just a regular afternoon tea, nothing extravagant. It's settled then, you can't refuse me."

Xu Yuan looked at her colleagues, whose eyes were shining, and said, "As long as everyone works hard, Young Master Gu said he'll treat us to afternoon tea from now on."

Wow! Really? We're so lucky to have such a delicious meal!

"Thank you, Sister Xie Xiaoyuan."

Xu Yuan took a black truffle egg tart and a cup of coffee and said, "You guys eat! I'm going to work on the data now."

Li Meimei quickly grabbed a black truffle egg tart, but it didn't taste quite right. She finally realized how much Gu Heting doted on Xu Yuan.

But Xu Yuan wants to be Gu Heting's wife, and she won't allow it!

For three consecutive days, Xu Yuan was immersed in data collection and analysis. Meanwhile, she was about to conduct an experiment on a dog, and this time she could only succeed and could not afford to fail.

Xu Yuan turned on her computer and checked the data. Suddenly, she squinted and noticed a piece of data that she remembered very clearly. However, the data collected on the computer was not the data she had recorded. She quickly reached for her notes and realized that it was indeed wrong.

"How could such important data be wrong?" Xu Yuan was furious. She had no choice but to continue checking, only to find that a page was missing from her notes, and that it was all lost by Li Meimei.

Xu Yuan was the team leader, and she had the right to dismiss team members. At this moment, Xu Yuan was so angry that she clenched her fists. She quickly came out of the dining room and said to Li Meimei, "Li Meimei, come here for a moment."

When Li Meimei saw Xu Yuan calling her by her full name in public, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she thought of the reason why Xu Yuan was angry. Did she find out?

Li Meimei walked in with a cup of coffee. "What's wrong, Xiaoyuan?"

"I asked you to record my data this morning, why did you get it wrong? You also lost an important record report page, which I found in the trash can. You crumpled it up, did you throw it away on purpose?"

Li Meimei's expression changed, and she quickly explained, "Xiaoyuan, let me explain. I thought this one was useless. Maybe I stayed up late last night and my brain wasn't working properly, so I made a mistake."

"A mistake? How dare you make a mistake about something that concerns human life? Does someone like you deserve to be a pharmaceutical researcher?"

"Xiaoyuan, I will definitely correct my mistakes," Li Meimei said weakly.

"No need. From now on, you are no longer a member of my team. You should leave!" Xu Yuan said, showing her no respect whatsoever.
