Liu Qian left the library and went back to the department.
After he put the book into the drawer, he thought for a moment before going to the archive room.
All the past years’ research data was stored in the archive room. Since they were related to old research, they were no longer considered confidential, so it was fine for the students to have access to them.
However, Huo Yao was the first freshman Liu Qian had ever encountered in his career who had asked for them.
The archive room was located on the third floor of the administration block and could only be accessed by swiping a card.
Liu Qian entered the password and opened the door. After entering the room, he looked around and found a thick manila envelope. Its color was faded, showing that it had clearly been around for a long time.
He opened the manila envelope and pulled out its contents before putting them back inside.
Before long, he left the archive room with the research data.
He went downstairs and was about to go back to his office when he encountered the department head, Qi Hui, chatting with a student as they walked over.
Liu Qian instinctively placed the research data behind him before he nodded to Qi Hui. “Hi, Mr. Qi.”
Qi Hui naturally saw the manila envelope in his hand, but he was not interested and simply nodded. “Hello, Mr. Liu.”
Jiang Mingyue had already stopped asking about research when she saw Liu Qian and greeted him courteously.
“Oh yes. Mr. Liu, do you have any classes in the afternoon?” asked Qi Hui.
Liu Qian glanced at him and answered. “Just one.”
Qi Hui nodded. He contemplated for a couple of seconds and said, “In that case, e by my office when you’re done. I have something to talk to you about.”
“Okay.”
“Perfect.” The moment he finished his sentence, Qi Hui did not linger on and left with Jiang Mingyue hurriedly.
Liu Qian gathered his thoughts and went back to his office. Moments later, he sent a text message to Huo Yao telling her to pick up the research data when she was free.

Jiang Mingyue and Qi Hui entered the lift, swiped the access card, and pressed for the fifth floor.
The laboratory was located on the fifth floor. Only members of the research group had access to it.
“Mr. Qi, are there any good students among the freshmen?” asked Jiang Mingyue casually, standing beside Qi Hui reverently.
“There are a handful of freshmen with a lot of potential in the faculty. We will only know for sure after they are tested,” said Qi Hui.
Since the teacher did not notice any talented students among the freshmen, Jiang Mingyue lowered her eyes and replied softly. “That is true.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Qi Hui gently.
Meanwhile, the lift chimed when it got to the fifth floor. He walked out of the lift as he said, “You have to finish the Genomic thesis as soon as possible and give it to me. The deadline for the International Journal of Biochemistry is the end of November. Since we still have to test the theory, you have to speed up.”
“It is almost ready. I can probably hand it to you in a day or two,” said Jiang Mingyue hurriedly.
Qi Hui nodded. “Good. I will get Mr. Liu to assign a student to help you build your database and do a parative study on it.”
The moment she heard this, Jiang Mingyue pondered for a couple of seconds. “I don’t recall that Bioinformatics has any students who are particularly good with data analysis. I am afraid they might just end up causing delays.”
Qi Hui halted in his steps and rubbed his forehead. “That’s also true.”
There were currently slightly over 60 students in Bioinformatics, but none of them were good enough. It was pletely justifiable to think that the division was taking up resources without contributing anything.
