‘Hmph, it seems as though any Tom, Dick, and Harry could enter the laboratory these days. Every machine in this research lab costs tens of millions of yuan. What if this ignorant woman breaks one of them?’
As a technician, Professor He cherished the machines he used. At this moment, looking at Fang Liu, he felt as though his precious machines were about to be destroyed. Professor He couldn’t wait to get rid of Fang Liu.
Fang Liu kindly greeted Professor He. After introducing herself, she pointed to the section where she would conduct her research and whispered, “Am I allowed to go in now?”
‘The professor is so intimidating!’
Professor He has always been frank. He did not care about Fang Liu’s identity. In his eyes, everyone he met was either an amateur or a professional, and he despised amateurs.
Professor He thought that Fang Liu resembled the higher-ups who did not know anything about research but still insisted on coming to the lab to blame the professors and lab assistants.
‘This woman probably has nothing better to do. She probably wants to come here to play with the machines.’
Seeing that Professor He was not thrilled to see her, Fang Liu smiled awkwardly and asked again, “C-Can I go in now?”
“Have you gone through the disinfection chamber?” Professor He said sternly.
Fang Liu was shocked and nodded, “Y-Yes, I did.”
“Fine, you can go in. Do not touch anything without my permission, and do not open the containers in the cabinet. You are not to get in the way of other people’s work. Do you understand?” Professor He said forbiddingly.
Professor He thought that if he had the power to do so, he would immediately kick Fang Liu out of the lab.
Fang Liu nodded and walked into the laboratory.
Sector Seven was the area that housed the research of traditional Chinese medicine. It occupied an entire floor of the research facility. Along the corridor, there were seven rooms on the left and right, respectively. Each room was marked with a number on the door.
Fang Liu looked at the map and saw that room thirteen housed the medicinal herbs. She would have to enter this room and gather materials before doing anything else.
When she entered the room, she saw more than twenty wooden cabinets, and in each cabinet, there were more than a hundred storage compartments. The labels of the medicinal herbs could be seen on the outside of the storage compartments.
After swiping her ID at the door, Fang Liu picked out the medicinal herbs she needed and put them into a transparent preservation bag. Then she walked back to room three.
Room three was the extraction room, and the faint smell of mixed medicinal herbs filled the air.
Fang Liu put on her mask and walked toward the experiment section. She put the medicinal herbs into the grinder and ground them into powder. Then, depending on the different characteristics of each herb, she chose the appropriate extraction agent to purify them.
After Fang Liu left Professor He’s sight, he went into the control room to monitor Fang Liu’s every move. As soon as Fang Liu made a mistake and broke something, Professor He would immediately chase her out.
Seeing that Fang Liu had gone into room thirteen to gather herbs, Professor He sneered and looked up the names of the herbs that Fang Liu had taken.
Professor He was well versed in traditional Chinese medicine and had more than four decades of experience. He could tell what the herbs were used for at a single glance.
“Angelica Sinesis and Codonopsis…” When Professor He read the names of the herbs, he stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.
“The combination of just these two herbs would soothe the nerves and calm the mind. It would also be more potent than ten herbs combined.”
It would seem that Fang Liu had some fundamental knowledge of herbs and the dosage was very accurate.
‘It turns out that Fang Liu isn’t a complete idi*t after all.’
Professor He was quite impressed by her. Professor He then continued to monitor Fang Liu.
He saw that Fang Liu was skillfully and instinctively operating all kinds of equipment. The entire extraction process went smoothly without a hitch. Even the professional researchers who had worked for many years were not as skilled as Fang Liu.
Fang Liu needed to understand the operation process and extraction principles required to execute this procedure.
Professor He’s expression changed immediately. It seems that he had underestimated this woman. Fang Liu resembled an expert.
Fang Liu worked hard throughout the morning, and before she knew it, it was already noon. Mo Yu then arrived to pick her up. Fang Liu had no choice but to stop working for the day.
Mo Yu was incredibly anxious about Fang Liu’s condition, so he did not allow her to work in the lab for the whole day. He feared that it would be too tiring for Fang Liu.
Fang Liu stood up, tidied up the workbench, and put the freshly extracted herbs into an airtight bottle.
When Fang Liu was leaving, she came across Professor He. She felt that Professor He did not like her, so she did not dare to address him on the way out. However, she did not expect the professor to call out to her.
Professor He gazed at Fang Liu with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
