David was forced to return to the United States, and Qin Manman’s once-popular laboratory is now deserted, with only a few people lingering around.
Every day, the only ones coming and going are her legal team.
After all, the patent leak issue with the United States is still being disputed.
If compensation is really required, the 3 billion US Dollars might not even be enough.
Moreover, she doesn’t even have 3 billion now.
For this reason, Qin Manman had to spend a fortune to hire a top-notch legal team; just the cost of this alone is enough to make her heart ache.
However, that’s not the only headache.
The developnt of new anti-radiation materials is completely different from past materials, so she has no choice but to recruit so professionals again.
However, with everyone having their own channels in the industry, everyone has heard whispers about what’s happening with this newbie — not many have faced such a serious slap in the face from the country and continued to flounder after being slapped.
In the end, Qin Manman only found a few young people related to the field interning from so undergraduate universities.
She angrily smashed a coffee cup in the office:
"Are you all insane! I’m offering such a high salary and no one’s coming?"
The truth is, the salaries in her lab are already not low for the profession, and Qin Manman is just paying at the industry standard, offering no particular advantage.
Thinking about her reputation.
And then looking at the turnover rate of this research institute, it’s obvious sothing’s wrong.
Anyone serious about proper developnt wouldn’t want to co here.
Her assistant, however, was loyal as ever, quietly comforting her: "Calm down, calm down, they may not understand your excellence, but we do!"
And hustled to call in housekeeping to clean up.
Seeing him like this, comparing him to the assistant who recently resigned, he seed much more considerate, so she cald down, nodded gracefully:
"Alright, I won’t mistreat you, you’ve been doing a great job recently; I’ll have finance give you an additional bonus of 2000 yuan."
The assistant happily responded: "Thank you, President Qin, I’ll make you so coffee!"
And while he absentmindedly opened a sugar packet in the break room and poured it into the coffee, soone from the research room ca over:
"Why are you so happy? Got another raise?"
The assistant tried hard to suppress the joyful smirk:
"Just a little, just a little..."
"Well pal, buy us dinner tonight then!" The other person seed not surprised at all and threw an arm around his neck with a friendly reminder.
But his hand shook, and the whole packet of sugar spilled in.
"Tsk." The assistant shook his head, turned, and made another cup.
And the person next to him leaned closer: "How long do you think our research institute can hold on? Hopefully, we won’t find out we can’t pay salaries in the end..."
The assistant stirred the coffee nonchalantly, thinking about the cash flow, giving the other person a reassuring look: "Don’t worry, as long as the lawsuit is fine, we’re stable. Our boss has big ambitions."
So it’s not a problem if they are incompetent and just go through the motions, sweet talking will do.
The two exchanged a knowing smirk about slacking off.
...
Day by day, progress on the anti-radiation materials remains discouraging.
Firstly, due to unavoidable radiation exposure during experints, Qin Manman is reluctant to visit the lab.
Yet the group of interns she recruited have little proper experience, and in many situations, Qin Manman rigidly instructs them to follow certain steps — forcing food down their throats, but when they don’t adapt, no one knows how to proceed.
anwhile, the United States, venting its impotent rage, is still tangled in the lawsuit. To quickly get out of the current stalemate, Qin Manman is forced to endure her discomfort and visit the lab more often, but the more she makes such efforts, the more discontented she becos, and her words beco harsher.
Midway through an experint, two interns responsible for key data ran off.
They would rather forgo their salary than listen to her nagging here, nearly driving Qin Manman to faint with anger!
For the interns, they had endured for quite so ti.
After all, their ntors scolded them for not getting data right, not completing experints, or other genuine errors during school... They were legitimate faults.
But with Qin Manman, even a slip in her high heels was an excuse for a scolding... How many young people can tolerate that? It’s better to just resign.
In her frustration, Qin Manman, like her ideal world—the United States, fell into helpless rage.
She could only grit her teeth and throw herself into research.
This was also a new domain for Qin Manman; in her past life, she only handled compiling final experintal results, never having such detailed understanding.
