Chapter 131 Questioning
The day after the party ended, Song Qianyi went to the research institute.
Not long after arriving, he received a big order.
"With whom are you collaborating?"
Song Qianyi looked bewildered. What a coincidence!
"The Ji Group, is there a problem?"
They worked themselves to the bone to develop a cooperation plan for this project, but thankfully their hard work paid off.
Song Qianyi shook her head and continued to calmly organize the materials with her team members, as they would need them tomorrow.
"Song Qianyi, you're coming with me tomorrow. You're also involved in this project. If you show your face and get remembered by those big shots, your future will be much easier."
Song Qianyi pursed her lips, initially wanting to refuse, but seeing the excitement and encouragement in her mentor's eyes, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Let's go then. It's unlikely we'll run into Ji Jingshen by chance, and he might even be in China right now.
After thinking it through, Song Qianyi agreed.
"Bring your resume tomorrow, along with the initial and final versions of the project data. You'll be responsible for the final summary at tomorrow's meeting."
The mentor patted her on the shoulder and left excitedly.
Song Qianyi remembered that she was still missing some information, so she left.
"Looks like a big shot has come to our research institute."
"What do you mean by that, female supporting character?"
Li Yang clearly understood the implication behind her words, and his expression turned cold.
"Did I say something wrong? She's only been here a few days and she's already gained the professor's favor. When I joined the research institute, I did a lot of odd jobs before I got the professor's attention. Aren't any of you like that?"
Ling Ling looked at them, her face full of anger.
"Don't talk nonsense. Qianyi's academic materials before she came here have already been notarized. Her abilities are no less than anyone else's here," Li Yang said seriously.
But Ling Ling didn't listen at all, and looked at Song Qianyi with jealousy.
"Who knows? In today's society, isn't it easy to forge a degree?"
"According to the normal procedure, no matter who enters the research lab, they must start from the bottom and can only officially take over the project after at least three months!"
This statement was echoed by several people nearby, since they had all gone through the same experience.
Song Qianyi, who had just gone to her supervisor's office to retrieve her materials, sensed something was off as soon as she entered the room. However, she didn't say anything and prepared to quietly return to her seat.
But even though she doesn't cause trouble, there are always people eager to pick a fight with her.
"You've been gone for so long, could you have gone out to call and thank your sugar daddy? Otherwise, why don't you share with us how you found such a great sugar daddy, so we can all have a reference?"
Ling Ling spoke sarcastically, saying that it was absolutely impossible for the research lab's supervisor to be involved, since there were explicit rules in place, and if discovered, the consequences would not be as simple as a notification and punishment.
Firing someone is easy, so the only financial backer behind Song Qianyi can be an investor.
Thinking about the Ji Group she was going to visit tomorrow, she seemed to have guessed the answer.
If it weren't for the high-level management of the Ji Group, Song Qianyi would never have had such good resources.
"Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, I can sue you for defamation. After all, there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the research institute. I can just pick out any clip and you'll be stuck there for a few days."
Ling Ling's face darkened, and she glared at Song Qianyi through gritted teeth.
Bitch!
"Then explain to us why you received special attention from your mentor as soon as you arrived, and why he personally took you to discuss projects!"
Song Qianyi is only in her early twenties and has no experience or qualifications whatsoever.
"Enough! We're all family here in the lab. Lingling, are you trying to instigate us by being so pushy?"
Li Yang's face was grim, and his tone was cold.
Realizing he was really angry, Lingling, though still somewhat resentful, finally shut her mouth.
"Before coming here, I had already completed several projects. When I sent the materials to my supervisor, he knew my situation, so I didn't include these things. After all, there was too much material, and it would be troublesome to organize it."
Unexpectedly, this matter was also exploited by someone to take advantage of the situation. Song Qianyi lowered her head and pulled up all the data on her phone.
"These are the projects I've completed over the past few years, and these are the ones I just finished recently. We're all researchers, so we should have our own channels to check the authenticity of the projects. Please don't accuse me of fabricating them."
"After all, I don't have that kind of free time."
After the conversation, Ling Ling, who had been arrogant and defiant just moments before, immediately wilted.
Influenced by Ling Ling's words, some wavering people shut up after seeing the information about those projects.
Some of them have taken on fewer projects than Song Qianyi alone in the entire research institute. If Song Qianyi's qualifications don't qualify her to participate in tomorrow's project, then they are even less qualified.
"Thank you for what you did earlier, senior brother."
After the crowd dispersed, Song Qianyi smiled and thanked Li Yang.
"You're welcome. If we really have to count, I also bear some responsibility. My mentor has always entrusted this team to me, but after what happened today, I realized that the team is no longer the same as it was at the beginning."
Some people have already begun to have ulterior motives.
A complex emotion flashed in Li Yang's eyes.
Their team is the most senior, and although new members are joining, they get along quite well.
If today's events hadn't happened, he would have always thought that his team was very united.
"Senior brother, there's no need to blame yourself. Even in Fortune 500 companies, there are disloyal people. Besides, what Lingling said makes sense. Anyone who doesn't know the truth would doubt my abilities."
Moreover, Lingling's words did not have any effect on her.
"I should thank you for not making a big deal out of what happened earlier. Although it was a trivial matter, anything here can be blown out of proportion and it won't be easy to deal with later."
The two figures grew farther and farther away until they disappeared from sight, at which point Lingling turned her gaze away.
"Ling Ling, were you really just making wild guesses?"
One of the group members quietly approached, looking at her with a gossipy expression.
"What do you know? I'm just stating the facts, it's just that there's no evidence yet. In a few days, you'll see Song Qianyi's true colors."
Ling Ling's excited tone startled the group members next to her, who quickly took a few steps back.
However, the female supporting character, absorbed in her own emotions, was completely oblivious to the stares of those around her and continued talking to herself.
"Just you wait and see, one day I will expose Song Qianyi's true colors."
She didn't believe any of the projects Song Qianyi had just presented. How could one person do so many projects in such a short time? There was definitely something wrong with that!
