70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 285 - 4: The Serious Laboratory (Part 4)

"Good morning," Xu Mumu said indifferently, "I have class later, so I’ll leave first."

"Alright, Mumu, remember to come find me when you’re free," Yun Luo said with a smile.

"Okay." Xu Mumu nodded. As for when she’d be free, that was up to her to decide.

Watching Xu Mumu walk away, Yun Luo’s gaze remained fixed. No wonder she caught Yin Yang’s attention; she really is quite capable, Yun Luo thought, a shadow passing over her eyes.

She snuck out this time just to find Yin Yang. She heard that Yin Yang got accepted to Imperial University.

But after sneaking out, she heard that Yin Yang had found someone. When she first heard this news, she was so angry she could kill someone.

The Yin Family and the Yun Family have always been at odds, yet she still liked Yin Yang, even though he was quite annoyed with her.

She just wanted to see what kind of girl Yin Yang liked. After meeting Xu Mumu yesterday, she found that Xu Mumu was very studious, always in the library when not in class, very ambitious.

Yun Luo touched her chin, thinking he must like ambitious girls.

She had already investigated Xu Mumu’s family background, discovering she’s just a girl from the countryside, which made her feel like Xu Mumu had no competition against her.

Yun Luo was certain these two wouldn’t last long, then went to class. Since Yin Yang liked ambitious girls, she’d be ambitious too, determined to show Yin Yang how outstanding she was, much more so than Xu Mumu.

Xu Mumu had no idea what Yun Luo was thinking, and even if she did, she wouldn’t care. If someone wanted to take Yin Yang, they could go ahead. A man who could be taken wasn’t worth her concern.

With Professor Song’s experiment approaching, she was entering such an important laboratory for the first time. Even if she couldn’t take on an important role, she still wanted to understand everything.

Xu Mumu was busy every day, and Yun Luo seemed to be getting busy too. The two hadn’t seen each other for a while.

With Professor Song’s accompaniment, Xu Mumu took a short leave, and the experiment officially began.

Xu Mumu went with Professor Song to the lab building, donned a brand-new lab coat, and entered the lab, now serving as Professor Song’s assistant.

Xu Mumu was so young. Among a group of people, such a young girl serving as Professor Song’s assistant seemed a bit unreliable.

But with Professor Song’s status, and the dean not objecting, everyone was waiting to see Xu Mumu’s performance.

"Don’t be nervous; I’m here with you. You’ve done so many experiments before, and your basics are solid. Today, just gain some experience," Professor Song gently reassured Xu Mumu.

"I understand." Xu Mumu nodded seriously, feeling a bit nervous inside. Such a serious experiment couldn’t allow for any errors.

The others soon didn’t have time to focus on Xu Mumu. They had their own tasks, and as just an assistant, staring at her constantly was meaningless; assistants were just there to help, as long as they didn’t make mistakes.

Luo Shuxue brought over the necessary experiment data. Although she didn’t really like Xu Mumu, she didn’t make things difficult for her either. She was just an assistant, not worth lowering herself to argue. If she really did, it might displease Professor Song, since this project was his proposal.

"Take a look. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask after everyone’s done with the current experiment," Luo Shuxue said indifferently.

"Okay, thank you." Xu Mumu smiled and took the data, studying it closely.

Professor Song and others started their research and experimentation. Three experts mainly performed hands-on work, while other assistants handed over items and recorded experiment data.

After reading the data, Xu Mumu was quite surprised and had even more respect for Professor Song. This project was really exciting. If it succeeded, it would mark a significant advance in the nation’s physics research.

Xu Mumu became very serious, not allowing herself any mistakes in this experiment.

The whole experiment proceeded in an orderly manner, with Xu Mumu seriously following Professor Song. He conducted experiments while also asking if Xu Mumu had any questions, carefully explaining her confusion.

Professor Song’s attention to Xu Mumu surprised the people in the lab. Other assistants looked on enviously, thinking if they had known Professor Song was so kind, they’d have fought to be his assistant.

Neither Professor Song nor Xu Mumu realized this. Xu Mumu was earnestly listening to his explanations, encountering many new concepts. Getting such comprehensive instruction from Professor Song, she felt she must have done many good deeds in her past life.

The experiment data recordings were complex, not allowing any errors. Xu Mumu carefully double-checked her recorded data and, confirming there were no issues, handed it to Professor Song.

Watching them seriously analyze the data, which was vast, she noticed there were computers, but they were too outdated. Even using computers to analyze data was too slow.

Yet these issues couldn’t be helped, and she had no solutions for them.

Accompanying Professor Song on this experiment meant she stayed in the lab every day. She didn’t cause any trouble and was very diligent, improving others’ impressions of her.

The experiment lasted more than half a month. Once completed, Xu Mumu finally felt at ease.

"Tired?" Professor Song said kindly, even feeling a bit worn himself, age catching up with him.

But there were many follow-up tasks. With the experiment’s success, it was time to apply for patents and prepare necessary materials, work that didn’t involve Xu Mumu.

"I’m okay. If anyone’s tired, it’s you, Sir Song, having to lead me as well," Xu Mumu said a bit embarrassed.

"It’s no problem. Go home and rest well," Professor Song smiled, shaking his head.

"Okay, Sir Song, take care of your health. Otherwise, when Yin Yang returns, and sees you’ve lost weight, I won’t know how to explain," Xu Mumu joked with a smile.

"Don’t worry, we have people here to look after Old Song," the dean chuckled, envying Professor Song. During this time, they’d noticed Xu Mumu’s diligent efforts, feeling happy for him for having such a promising student.

"Sorry for troubling you, Dean," Xu Mumu replied with a smile.

"Now you’re even in charge of me, your courage is growing," Professor Song teased with a laugh.
