Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 364 - 14: This Fishpond’s Cannon Fodder Is Contracte

At first, the two of them were just quietly eating. Hu Xintong only ate the dishes, not the staple food, and Ren Yan looked at her.

"Won’t you feel hungry eating so little?"

"No, I’m used to it."

"If researchers don’t eat staple food, their brains might not function well."

Hu Xintong glanced at her and softly replied.

"The director also doesn’t eat staple food and it doesn’t hinder her research."

Ren Yan laughed quietly, a laugh that made Hu Xintong feel a bit irritated, because she sensitively perceived so contempt in it, as if looking down on the director.

"Do you know the na of the investor?"

Ren Yan suddenly asked.

"How would I know? I’m finished, you eat slowly."

With that, Hu Xintong was about to leave, but Ren Yan hurriedly asked again.

"Just now when you went in, was the director still talking about work with the leadership?"

Hu Xintong nodded.

"Why are you asking this?"

"I’m just casually asking. We are colleagues too, and whether we can stay here all depends on the director’s word. But have you thought that among us four, only two can stay? Do you think you will be one of those two?"

Hu Xintong frowned; why talk about this for no reason?

Ren Yan continued speaking to herself.

"Currently, the news I got is that the director favors the two male colleagues more. The records of several recent important experints were done by them. As for us, the hope is quite slim."

"Is this your guess or is there solid evidence?"

Ren Yan paused and continued in a firm tone.

"It’s what Gao Qingjue told . The director prefers males as she thinks their thinking is more rational and astute. Although I don’t like this kind of gender bias, there’s no choice, the director thinks this way."

Hu Xintong thought of the work the director just assigned to her not long ago and looked at Ren Yan. She quickly realized Ren Yan was deliberately finding an excuse to badmouth the director, and even attempting to pull her into a clique against the director.

"Is what Gao Qingjue said reliable?"

"Of course it’s reliable. He is the director’s favorite student now, and I heard he already signed a formal employnt contract. None of us have signed, it hasn’t even been ntioned. He has no reason to deceive us."

A formal employnt contract?

How is that possible?

Although the director is the head of the laboratory, she doesn’t have the authority to directly sign labor contracts with interns.

Does Ren Yan not have any sense when she lies?

Hu Xintong found it a bit amusing.

"So what to do? What should I do now?"

"I’ve thought about this early and prepared ahead. Recently, I made a new discovery and wrote a research report that the leadership absolutely wants. I plan to personally hand it to the leadership, skipping Jiang Lai, allowing them to directly decide our stay."

Hu Xintong nodded, seeming thoughtful.

"Since you’re confident, why co to ? How can I help you?"

"We are all won, we need to unite and help each other. I will add your na to this report, and we will jointly sign it. But it’s not easy to et the leadership, Jiang Lai is always with them. You’ll need to distract Jiang Lai for a while, give two hours."

The leadership will leave before dark, so Ren Yan must seize the chance to speak with him alone before he leaves.

As long as Jiang Lai is away, she is confident the investor will give her a chance to finish her words.

Hu Xintong nodded, her face showing no other expression.

"Actually, you can just go directly to the leadership, there’s no need to deliberately send the director away."

"Of course not, with the director here, she won’t let have the chance to finish speaking. Trust , the director is not as tolerant as she appears."

Ren Yan had been very discreet, giving Hu Xintong an opportunity. If she chose to cooperate this ti, Ren Yan would be willing to befriend her in the future. But if she continued to cozy up to Jiang Lai, Ren Yan wouldn’t waste ti helping her anymore.

Staying by Jiang Lai’s side won’t lead to a good outco. If you slightly displease her, no matter who you are or what contributions you’ve made, she can kick you out without hesitation.

So Ren Yan kept her head down eating, waiting for Hu Xintong’s response.

"I can give it a try, but I can’t guarantee success."

"Do as I say and it will definitely succeed. Rest assured, I can show you the research report right now, and add your na in front of you."

Saying so, Ren Yan took out her laptop and opened the folder.

Seeing the contents in the report, Hu Xintong looked at Ren Yan in surprise, not expecting she really had made new discoveries, with supporting experintal data.

When did she do these studies?

"Do you believe now? If you cooperate with , I can guarantee you’ll stay, and might even move to a better platform, without having to put up with Jiang Lai anymore."

"Well... let’s give it a try."

Truthfully, it’s hard not to be tempted.

And doing this won’t hurt Jiang Lai’s interests. In the end, if successful, it will be beneficial and harmless to herself.

As for why Ren Yan approached her, Hu Xintong understood.

Gao Qingjue is competent enough, he doesn’t need such asures.

As for Zhou Liang, he tends to be rash, straightforward in nature, highly likely to ss things up if tasked.

So Ren Yan could only co to her now.

All in all, it wasn’t harmful to anyone.

So, let’s give it a try.

Indeed, Hu Xintong agreed.

Ren Yan smiled, unable to suppress her disdain.

Indeed, they were all humans driven by interest.

At this mont, in the eting room, Jiang Lai was listening to Little Buding whisper in her ear about "traitors appearing," and upon listening closely, it turns out Ren Yan successfully persuaded Hu Xintong to join the sa camp.

She was a bit distracted, Zhou Wenjin noticed right away.

"Zoning out in front of the boss, aren’t you afraid I’ll dock your pay?"

Jiang Lai blinked, looked up at Zhou Wenjin, took off her glasses, and rubbed the soreness from her eyes.

"Yeah, keep talking, I’m listening."

"Tired?"

"Yeah, now’s supposed to be my lunch break."

Zhou Wenjin couldn’t help but smile. It was the first ti he saw Jiang Lai without her glasses. Her face was extraordinarily porcelain white, only the corners of her eyes were faintly red, rubbed red by herself, seemingly without any makeup.

"My fault for delaying your rest. How about this, we’ll talk again at two in the afternoon, you go take a nap first and I’ll see your experint results in the afternoon, okay?"

"Alright, suit yourself, I’m going to nap a bit."

Almost every place has a break room. Jiang Lai stood up and went to the break room attached to the eting room, separated only by a curtain from the eting place.

Zhou Wenjin consciously left and suddenly rembered not taking his phone before departing, turning back to the eting room to find it already pitch dark in there.
