The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 902 - 901. Is the hospital work too easy?

"First, we need to finalize the research group members and start the research content as soon as possible. Since the Medical College has handed over the research on the Full Moon Plant to us, we need to speed up and can’t let others look down on us."

This workflow is all too familiar for the battle-hardened Professor Yu.

Tang Shu nodded, acknowledging her understanding, while secretly adding an item to her future schedule.

***

Yang Tiantian feels like she’s about to be jobless again.

She noticed that her presence as an assistant is diminishing, from originally taking care of her boss’s three meals a day to just one meal, and normally, as long as she leaves the photo studio or drama club with her boss, she can call it a day.

Because every time it’s time to clock out in the afternoon, a black business car would punctually appear around Tang Shu, with a big boss from the corporate world sitting inside.

Of course, her working hours do not include the times when the boss goes to school. Whenever Tang Shu is at school, she could be idle all day long.

"Sigh~~~~"

"This is your 101st sigh. Let go of the poor spinach you’re holding!"

Father Yang, while chopping vegetables, casts a pitiful glance at the spinach that’s been picked for a long time, it’s pitifully simple as those few strands can be thrown into the pot after just a rinse without needing any picking.

"Dad—If I really do end up jobless one day, you have to support me."

"Planning on freeloading this young? I won’t indulge this habit of yours. What happened now, did you offend the boss?"

"...No."

With her adorable appearance and eloquence, offending others is unlikely, it’s just sometimes she can’t keep up with her boss’s clever brain.

"So what is it, you’re not concentrating on your work? Or is the cooking not to Miss Tang’s liking?"

"It’s none of those," Yang Tiantian’s feelings were complicated, "my boss is in love..."

For a week straight, she hadn’t managed to make Tang Shu a single dinner, even the job of sending her back to Palm Pavilion after work had been snatched by someone else.

Weirdly enough, that Mr. Jing always seems to know where the boss is, able to arrive on time nearby even before the end of the work day.

It’s really something.

She’s never seen Tang Shu send him a message, and knowing her boss is always working, her phone is in her own hands!

Today’s Tang Shu, who is being remembered by Yang Tiantian, is currently sitting in the classroom packing her bag, while Cheng Ranran beside her is clutching a thick stack of resumes looking utterly miserable.

"Xiao Shushu, aren’t you really going to help us out?"

"No help, it’s just screening resumes. Is it that hard?"

"It wouldn’t normally be hard, but finding 20 people out of nearly three hundred top-student resumes is incredibly difficult!"

Cheng Ranran was finding out the hard way how being popular in a society could also be distressing.

Ever since the Adventure Club, abbreviated as such, became popular, Su Chejun couldn’t handle it alone and ended up recruiting four others to strengthen their club’s grand efforts.

As for why didn’t they rope in Tang Shu as well... President Su said, seeing this big Buddha in school was hard enough, let alone asking her to handle other matters.

"You might not believe it, but among the three hundred resumes submitted to join the club, one-fifth of them are from people who are already working in society. Isn’t that strange? What are those graduated seniors and juniors joining the hustle bustle for——"

"Maybe... it’s because the hospital jobs are too relaxing?"

"..."

Heh, what a heartless statement, have you ever seen a hospital where doctors have it easy?

Cheng Ranran indignantly pinched her cute face, "Are you going to help me or not?"

After spending so much time together, Tang Shu deeply realized that this wasn’t the time to add fuel to the fire, so she leaned over and kissed her plump cheek.

"Dear, I have to go. Tomorrow I have a drama and two scenes to shoot. Bye~~~"

The person, who was giddy from being kissed, unconsciously waved their smooth little paw as Ye Xiaohui, who watched the whole scene, had no expectations for her childhood friend’s resistance.

"You really are too much."

"Ye Zi, Ye Zi, Xiao Shushu kissed me!"

"I saw it."

"Ying ying ying, I’m so happy (*^▽^*)~~~"

"..."

Ye Xiaohui put away her phone, grabbed her backpack without another word, and headed outside the classroom.

"Hey, Xiao Ye Zi, where are you going? Aren’t you helping me screen the resumes?"

"Date."

"???"

Cheng Ranran was stunned.

At noon, Yang Tiantian, who was squatted down picking mushrooms at Yang’s private restaurant, received a text from her boss and was so thrilled she nearly burst through the kitchen ceiling.

"Yay!!!"

"What now, did you win the lottery?"

"No, no, my work load has increased. The boss said starting tonight I have to prepare dinner for five!"

"...Why can’t you just be happy with your salary, I don’t get you young people."

Father Yang was busy at the kitchen counter as usual, his iron spoon bobbing up and down with his movements, feeling a century-old gap in values between him and his daughter.

"Of course, I’m not happy. My salary is already way above what others in the industry make. I don’t feel comfortable just getting paid without working."

Yang Tiantian packed her small bag with the fastest speed ever and, before leaving, didn’t forget to blow a kiss to her dear dad.

"I’m off to work, dad. If everything goes as planned, I won’t be back home tonight. Goodnight!"

Father Yang raised his head and looked at the sun directly south through the window, his face lined with frustration.

Meanwhile, just after Tang Shu briefed her assistant, she followed the stone path in the campus leading to the family quarters, soon entering through the small fence into the yard.

"Xiao Shu arrived just in time. Come eat."

Old Madam Yu was as healthy as ever, looking much younger than before after being treated with Tang Shu’s prepared pills.

"Let me help you."

Tang Shu put down her backpack and followed into the kitchen to serve the dishes. Not seeing Professor Yu come out from the study, she knocked and heard him call out "Come in."

"Professor, how about finishing dinner before you continue working?"

"You’re here just at the right time. This is the list of researchers for the Full Moon Plant project, come take a look."

Tang Shu walked over and saw the piece of paper that included the names of all students from the previous Snow Soul Grass research, plus five or six other names that looked very familiar.

She had heard Cheng Ranran mention these names before; they were notable figures on the campus network.

"This many? How many people do you need for this research?" frёeωebɳovel.com

"I plan to form a small group of ten, led by myself and Professor Lin. The brainstorming at the last seminar gave me some insights. With more people, we don’t mind taking a few more detours in the research of new drug formulas."

What they lacked was not attempts, but rather wild and creative ideas.

Tang Shu completely agreed with this point, knowing that the formulas passed down by Tang Sect were also obtained through countless trials by predecessors, and she did not want to remain content with the existing formulas.
