Chapter 247: Chapter 247

Jiang Gujun asked Jiazze to put what they needed to bring into the bag, then stood up to open the door.

The villa door opened, and the person outside naturally turned around.

He was tall and slender, wearing rimless glasses, with slightly short black hair neatly styled.

His fair skin and refined features exuded a subtle scholarly air. Seeing Jiang Gujun, he was slightly taken aback, then smiled gently, "Hello, is Miss Rong Zhi living here?"

He even spoke with utmost politeness and grace.

Jiang Gujun nodded, "Yes, are you the delivery person?"

He couldn’t help but wonder, are delivery people this handsome now?

The deliveryman responded softly, glanced sideways, and instructed a stern-looking man behind him, "Move the stuff inside first."

"I can’t carry it," the man replied, holding three boxes with a small cart carrying about five more sizable boxes at his feet.

The boxes didn’t fit on the cart, so he carried them.

The man, exuding scholarly charm, sighed almost imperceptibly, grabbed the cart handle with one hand, and effortlessly pulled it forward.

Jiang Gujun quickly stepped aside and asked, "Do you need help?"

Upon hearing the question, the man’s pace slightly paused, and he nodded, "Then, please, there’s a bit more, not much."

Jiang Gujun: "No problem."

He rolled up his sleeves and went out.

There weren’t many boxes, and Jiang Gujun thought they were light since the man effortlessly moved them. But once he tried, it almost threw out his back.

He looked up, full of doubt, wondering how the man could so casually cart around these things?!

After delivering the items, Jiang Gujun waited nearby. The man counted the boxes, confirming all eighteen were accounted for.

"I’ve messaged Miss Rong Zhi," he said, taking out a stack of forms corresponding to the contents of the eighteen boxes, placing them on top. Then, he signaled to his companion, "Jing Ji, let’s go."

Jing Ji responded with an "oh" and followed by his side.

The man smiled lightly, as gentle as jade, "Goodbye, sir."

Jiang Gujun was still pondering what these items were but responded a bit late, "Ah, okay, goodbye."

Just a delivery guy, and still said goodbye?

Must be just being polite.

He didn’t think much of it, and after seeing them out, he continued busying himself upstairs.

The Mechanical Engineering Institute had restored its power, and Rong Zhi was recovering last night’s research data with her computer.

The workload was substantial, but since she had saved it during last night’s hacking of the third-floor lab, now it was just a matter of decoding.

The entire data recovery process was completed in less than three minutes.

The speed was astonishing.

Lu Si, looking at the fully restored data on the computer, felt like hugging Rong Zhi’s legs and crying.

After a night of rest, the dark circles under his eyes had finally diminished significantly.

Rong Zhi tossed a bag of lollipops onto the table, and Lu Fang, knowing she was knowledgeable in medicine, took one and asked, "Teacher Rong, what’s this for?"

"To relieve neural fatigue."

You can manage it temporarily, but once she’s gone, this group is sure to pull all-nighters again for the experiments, so it’s better to leave something useful for them.

Lu Fang was a bit skeptical, "Lollipops can relieve neural fatigue?"

Rong Zhi leaned back in her chair, her slender fingers idly tapping on her temple with a pen, lazily signaling for him to try it himself.

Lu Fang, half-convinced, peeled one and put it in his mouth.

The next second, a cool sensation rushed through his head, making his eyes instantly awake.

He suddenly felt clear-headed.

After recovering from the initial jolt, Lu Fang blinked and was about to grab a couple more when he looked down and met the amused gaze of a young man.

I only took one, I swear.

Later, seeing Lu Fang was more energetic than the others, even though they’d all had the same amount of sleep, Liu Yue Zhang queried about it. Reluctantly, after being tickled to tears, Lu Si revealed the truth.

Soon after, when Rong Zhi returned from Zhao Hecheng’s office, the lollipops that were originally on the table had all disappeared, even the bag was taken.

This group was outrageous enough to even take the bag. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novèlfire.net

Rong Zhi rubbed her temples, feeling a slight headache.

She took out her phone to message Tang Xuyun.

Tang Xuyun: [Are you going to produce lollipops in large quantities? Sure! The lab here is always ready for you. Should I get you two more assistants? How about me?]

He’s eager for Rong Zhi to come to the sanatorium more often. Just standing there doing nothing is the most beautiful scenery in the sanatorium. Seeing her invigorates the doctors and nurses.

Rong Zhi, holding the phase two forecast materials for the CSS project, replied while she walked: [Great, just inform Yao Yao, she has the formula.]

Tang Xuyun: [Got it.]

Fu Yaoyao’s status at the sanatorium was steadily rising, being Fu Liang’s apprentice, her proficiency in traditional Chinese medicine was no less than her mentors. She was also very adaptable to working with Tang Xuyun on researching the H-01 detoxification solution.

Entrusting the task of making lollipops to her was no problem.

Rong Zhi considered that in the market, candies with health benefits were virtually non-existent. She might expand this business given that RH Group is such a large enterprise, solely focusing on mechanical aspects seemed a bit narrow.

With this in mind, she reached the laboratory door.

Just as she was about to scan her retina to exit, someone patted her shoulder.

Turning her head, she saw it was Liu Yue Zhang.

"Dr. Rong, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

Noticing she had nearly two hours before her appointment with Song Yue, she nodded slightly, "Okay."

They left together and sat in the employee lounge near the Engineering College. Liu Yue Zhang asked if she wanted something to eat, but Rong Zhi declined gently.

Liu Yue Zhang, lacking appetite himself, got straight to the point.

"Do you remember Li Hao, the one who withdrew from the research project?"

Rong Zhi frowned slightly.

In her mind, there was no memory of such a person, likely because his presence was too negligible for her to recall.

From her expression, Liu Yue Zhang guessed. Unwise as Li Hao was, he’d offended someone beyond his league, and his current predicament was deserved.

"You weren’t at the Engineering College recently, so you might not know," Liu Yue Zhang explained, "Li Hao was the one who challenged you when you joined the Engineering College. Later he was removed from the project, but unable to swallow his pride, he somehow colluded with outsiders."

Li Hao held a grudge against Liu Yue Zhang for following Zhao Hecheng. Seeing Liu Yue Zhang close with Rong Zhi and himself expelled from the project, his resentment only grew.

Stupidly conspiring with outsiders to steal the CSS project secrets, he got caught by Lu Si when he returned for the forgotten data.

He’s now being held for interrogation. During this, it was discovered that his accomplice was Fang Xuezhen, and investigating Fang Xuezhen’s background led to connections with Rong Qichuo.

The roundabout way finally traced the problem back to Rong Qichuo.

Liu Yue Zhang shook his head, clicking his tongue repeatedly.

Rong Qichuo deserved his life sentence.

Stealing crucial national project secrets, how foolish must one be?

Now, both Li Hao and Fang Xuezhen are in prison, and unless someone intervenes, they’ll face harsh sentences.

Rong Zhi showed no particular reaction, nodding to acknowledge it.

After sharing this, Liu Yue Zhang didn’t take more of her time, and they parted ways in the rest area.
