Chapter 500: Chapter 159: Stay True to Your Original Aspiration to Maintain Your Mission_3
Liu Hao also chuckled and said.
Well, seeing that this Senior Brother Chen, who is into chemistry, still rembered his favorite flavor of milk tea after half a year, Qiao Yu really didn’t mind saying sothing nice.
After all, it didn’t cost him anything, and soone with such a good mory should rember favors for a long ti, right?
…
After finishing the conversation with Liu Hao, Qiao Yu greeted the others in the lab and then patted his butt and left.
Liu Hao still escorted Qiao Yu to the bottom of the experintal building. Only after seeing Qiao Yu ride away on a yellow bike did he turn back to the lab.
As he passed by Chen Jiang, Liu Hao stopped, thought for a mont, and then said, “Chen Jiang, there will be a junior fellow coming to take over your work tomorrow, so take an early rest today.
I’ll talk to your Senior Brother Zhang later, and ask him to get you familiar with the lab. Start from the simplest preparation, is that okay?”
Alright, this sentence really surprised Chen Jiang a bit.
Although he didn’t wash bottles every day, he was still allowed to participate in simple experints by senior brothers and sisters.
But whenever there was an important project, they liked pulling him over to wash bottles. The reason was that they thought he was quite skilled at washing bottles and wouldn’t delay things.
That’s really quite awkward.
Honestly, if Chen Jiang had a choice, he’d rather get hands-on with those small projects than wash bottles for big groups like this.
But there’s no way around it. As a grad student who hasn’t been in the group for a year, he has no rights, especially when the advisor is quite impressive. Plus, he can’t afford to miss classes, nor can he choose what work he does in the lab…
The only consolation is that the advisor is truly generous. The stipend given to them is quite a lot, and they never seem to want it back.
The senior brothers also do well in the Departnt of Chemistry, earning a lot of scholarships, plus various national and school subsidies, so there’s really no shortage of money.
Chen Jiang checked privately and realized that the money he received was more than what most in his year received.
For instance, in the dorm next door, another advisor known to Chen Jiang is working on a battery project. Similarly, the person is washing bottles every day and hasn’t even touched small projects.
The total monthly subsidy and salary combined would only amount to about two-thirds of his, sotis only half.
That’s where the motivation ca from.
Today’s statent from the lab leader was definitely a blessing for Chen Jiang.
“Ah? Thanks, Brother Liu. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely work hard.”
The surprise ca too suddenly, making Chen Jiang a bit tongue-tied.
After all, this ans he’s finally not the most invisible person in the lab and can participate in experintal operations, which is much more interesting than washing bottles.
Seeing Chen Jiang so pleasantly surprised, Liu Hao sighed inwardly.
Actually, everyone has washed bottles; in a way, this is a test of one’s patience.
After all, the transition from washing bottles to laboratory work isn’t really different. Once you’ve done enough, it all becos the sa routine.
If one can’t get past the bottle-washing phase, the monotonous and tedious lab life ahead will be even harder to endure.
Not to ntion that chemical experints often co with various dangers. Lacking patience can lead to all sorts of problems, which may not just affect graduation, but can also beco a matter of whether one can manage life independently in the future.
“Well, actually there’s no need to thank . When Qiao Yu left just now, he said you have an excellent mory and that he expects great things from you in the lab. Of course, even if he hadn’t said that, you probably would be joining the lab after this project anyway. In any case, just work hard.”
Liu Hao raised his hand, patted Chen Jiang on the shoulder, and offered so encouragent.
Although he hasn’t graduated yet, he often serves as a teaching assistant and enjoys the boss’s trust, so Liu Hao essentially acts as a junior leader within the research group and has decision-making power.
Chen Jiang was a little surprised. He just didn’t expect that ending this boring job was a result of one remark from Qiao Yu…
That young guy, even younger than him, could already determine his position in the lab. Although it might just be a few months earlier, it still moved and amazed him.
When he was sixteen, he was still morizing books every day, while that person at sixteen could already determine his position in the lab—the gap was a bit too wide!
…
Qiao Yu simply didn’t return to Yanbei University after riding the bike, but instead turned directly into Huaqing University and ran straight to Qiao Xi’s place.
Such matters always require soone to share them with. Qiao Xi was naturally the perfect choice.
Previously, when Qiao Xi was in Star City, a phone call was needed to communicate with the other side.
Now they lived close, and having stayed too late at the lab, he was just too lazy to go back to school, so he decided to stay over for the night.
Not to ntion that the apartnt allocated to Qiao Xi by Elder Yuan was a two-bedroom one. Qiao Yu felt that the underlying ssage was that one room was reserved for him to crash at any ti.
“What brings you here?”
Using the code to open the door, Qiao Yu saw Qiao Xi half-lying on the couch, looking sowhat surprised to see him.
The TV across from him was still on.
This made Qiao Yu feel that Elder Yuan hadn’t thought things through, being entirely too considerate. For instance, a TV for leisure and entertainnt was sothing he could completely do without.
Thus, ignoring Qiao Xi’s question, Qiao Yu scolded in a grave tone, “You’re actually watching TV? Don’t you know people ought to do what they should at the right ti? At your age, you’re not working hard in your studies? Do you plan to start working hard when you’re old?”
