In the reference room of the R&D department, Duan Shutong and He Run sat opposite each other.
The more he turned back, the more solemn He Run's expression became. While contemplating the content of the project, he took a few glances at Duan Shutong.
It wasn't until the last page was turned that he hesitated: "The report says that this product can shorten the skin metabolism cycle and has no side effects at all. I have been in the industry for ten years. In my opinion, this is impossible."
In He Run's view, the content of Duan Shutong's declaration is very emotional, but it is unbelievable, and the success rate is less than 1%.
He was about to veto it, when he heard Duan Shutong say: "Research and development is to make the impossible possible, this is a brand new technical idea, why don't you try it?"
Duan Shutong knows that such a product is unbelievable to people in this world, but he has confidence in what has been verified in his previous life.
He Run lowered his eyes, forget it, he has been in the industry for ten years, he is used to the dominance of the "princess", and if he disagrees, he has to agree in the end.
He didn't say any more, signed the agreement directly, got up and went to the general manager's office.
The project application went smoothly, Duan Shutong obtained some research funds, and applied for sufficient research materials from the company, and began to spend all day in the laboratory.
Zhou Ling was still the only member of his team.
Although Zhou Ling lacked experience, she was hardworking and willing to learn. Duan Shutong gradually felt relieved to entrust her with more tasks.
She follows everywhere, no matter what Duan Shutong asks her to do, she can do it beautifully.
In the past, she was the lowest existence in the R&D department, all she did was chores, she couldn't learn anything, and she was secretly excluded.
She likes spending time in the laboratory with Director Duan very much, regardless of the ups and downs outside, she only enjoys the tranquility of this space to herself.
Compared with the tight-knit laboratory No. 2, the No. 1 laboratory is much looser.
Only He Run works hard every day.
It's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, but that there are too few people in charge here, and most of them are here to dawdle.
He Run also wanted to support the younger generation, but the younger generation did not accept the kindness. Gradually, he stopped doing things that offended others.
The days swish to the end of June, and the climate in Linnan Province is getting hotter and hotter.
On the way back to the laboratory from the cafeteria, Zhou Ling's back was already wet with sweat. She is prone to sweating, and she was born with it, so there was nothing she could do.
In addition, the pimples on the face were a little broken, and a little pus flowed out, which was mixed with sweat, making it sticky and annoying.
She bowed her head and shrugged her shoulders all the way, afraid that people would see her distress, so she rushed to the bathroom, intending to wash her face.
The mirror on the sink was very clean, clearly reflecting the acne and freckles on her face, and for a moment, she felt extremely disgusted with herself.
Because of this face, since puberty, all she received was malice from the opposite sex and ridicule or disgust from the same sex.
She has no friends, and the young Muai has nothing to do with her.
Every night when she was going to bed, the laughing voices and repelling eyes of the day were stirring in her mind, making her sleepless all night.
No matter how many hospitals she has been to, how many doctors she has seen, this face is still with her.
Inferiority, nausea, disgust, despair and other emotions suddenly filled her chest, she couldn't help wiping the water off her face with a paper, wishing to wipe away the red and swollen acne bumps of those disgusting people.
At this moment, wanton chatter came from the men's bathroom next door.
"It's really hot and dry today, let's go back to the laboratory after smoking, at least there is air conditioning."
"Who says it's not? It's okay for God to be annoying, and some people are hard to swallow. You don't know that when I was eating in the cafeteria, I accidentally saw Zhou Ling's face and almost didn't eat it. Too bad Disgusting."
"Haha, I understand. When I saw her, I almost vomited the overnight meal. I don't know how that Duan Shao could bear it. Could it be that he likes heavy flavors? Vomit~"
"Hey, I really don't know why HR recruited her in the first place. Could it be to make us eat less and save food for the company? We are a skin care company after all, and we are not afraid that she will smash our signboard."
"Don't say that, anyway, she is a serious undergraduate, it is said that she is a key undergraduate, with a high degree of education."
"What's the use of being highly educated? If I were her, I would never dare to come out to meet people."
"..."
Zhou Lingmu froze in front of the mirror, his ears were filled with gossip from those people, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
The comfort of staying with Duan Shutong for more than half a month failed to make her forget the humiliation she had suffered, and she burst into tears.
But he didn't even dare to make a sound.
The people in the men's room next door didn't know that Zhou Ling was just a few meters away, and maybe even if they knew, they wouldn't care to belittle her.
They smoked and talked until a cubicle door creaked open.
There was a moment of silence in the men's room. Several people were smoking cigarettes, watching the man with extraordinary temperament stepping out of the cubicle and walking towards the sink.
Everyone's eyes were wide open, but they didn't dare to say a word, and they didn't dare to move the slightest.
Behind the scenes, the Taoist was caught out on the spot, gossip and bad things about his boss, no one can remain indifferent.
Duan Shutong was just going to the bathroom, but he didn't expect to hear a lot of malice. This malice was still aimed at a girl, and I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Although Zhou Ling's abilities are far inferior to his former assistants, this girl is tough and willing to learn, she is much better than these losers who take pleasure in belittling others.
The sound of running water broke the silence of the men's room, Duan Shutong lowered his eyebrows, turned off the faucet after cleaning his hands, and turned around.
His eyes swept over the cigarette butts of several people, "If I remember correctly, the company has regulations that researchers must not have peculiar smells on their bodies, let alone the smell of cigarettes."
After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at the faces of several people and turned to leave the bathroom.
One of them held a cigarette holder and said with a bitter face, "What should we do now? He won't fire us, will he?"
No one could answer him.
No matter how well-connected or connected the people here are, they are completely unable to compete with Duan Shao, who was airborne, and can only resign themselves to fate.
Zhou Ling next door wiped away tears and couldn't help laughing through tears.
Director Duan is really nice.
She tidied up her emotions, and when she returned to the laboratory, Duan Shutong had already put on her lab coat and was seriously researching with her head down.
Zhou Ling acted lightly, not disturbing him, and calmed down to do his own work.
Until five o'clock in the afternoon, Duan Shutong didn't get off work on time as usual. Although Zhou Ling was surprised, he didn't say a word and continued to accompany him behind him.
Looking at Duan Shutong's focused eyes with a hint of expectation, she couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat. Could the new product be researched today
After following Duan Shutong for so many days, Zhou Ling didn't say exactly what progress he had made in the research, but he could also guess roughly.
She almost had a premonition that a miracle might happen today.
Yes, if this new product can be researched, it will be a miracle for many female users.
Including herself.
The research continued until seven o'clock in the evening. At the moment of success at the last moment, Duan Shutong felt a long-lost sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Although this research is only the most basic operation for him, it is his first achievement in this world, and he is very happy.
He wanted to share it with someone immediately.
"Successful?" A cautious voice mixed with disbelief came from behind.
Duan Shutong immediately suppressed the joy on his face, he turned to look at Zhou Ling, with a faint smile on his brows, "We succeeded, we succeeded."
He had made this product in his previous life, and now he just copied the process. The development speed is naturally very fast, and the effectiveness has been verified.
"I still have to sort out the experiment report, you should go back first." Duan Shutong couldn't bear the heart of a girl who worked overtime too late.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling asked expectantly, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
This is the first study she has ever experienced, and she doesn't want to leave now.
Duan Shutong smiled, "Of course."
The two were busy until nine o'clock in the evening, and they were still in high spirits.
"The report will be handed in next Monday, and the bonus will be indispensable at that time." Duan Shutong joked.
Zhou Ling was dizzy for a long time, no matter what Duan Shutong said, she nodded.
She doesn't care about bonuses or not, she is already very proud and satisfied to be able to personally participate in the research and development of new products.
"However, new products still need to be tested." Duan Shutong sighed.
Even if he knows that the new product is very useful, it cannot be put into production and sales without professional testing and real-life trials.
Zhou Ling also calmed down, she thought for a while, and said firmly: "Director Duan, I want to participate in the experiment in advance, do you think it's okay?"
Her face is full of freckles. The main function of this new product is to lighten the spots. If there is an effect, it should be very obvious on her face.
Duan Shutong looked at her and said nothing.
Zhou Ling tried to persuade him, "Director, do you think it is possible to do this? The product will be sent for testing first, and I will try it out at the same time. If it works, others will definitely find it."
She was worried that Duan Shutong did research for the first time, but failed to meet the expected standards, and would be ridiculed in the future.
After all, there are so many products on the market that are marked to lighten pigmentation. She believes in Duan Shutong's ability, but the lightening depends on real people.
If there is no strong evidence, the company may not necessarily invest in financial production in the early stage. Instead of wasting time by talking bullshit, it is better to directly put the facts in front of it.
Duan Shutong was puzzled: "You just trust me like that? What if the new product not only fails to dilute the effect, but makes you worse?"
Zhou Ling smiled, "Anyway, my face is already like this, how bad can it be? Even if it has no effect, it will not cause any damage."
Duan Shutong had to admire her courage, although he believed in his product enough.
"good."
After leaving the company, the two parted ways.
Duan Shutong was overjoyed and wanted to find someone to share his joy with. After thinking about it, he could only find Cen Ning.
In Shanquan County, he only knew Xi Duan and the three of them.
He sent a WeChat message to Cen Ning: Tomorrow Saturday, do you have time to have a meal together? I'll treat you.
When he got home, Cen Ning replied: I'm sorry, Mr. Duan, I shouldn't be free tomorrow, Mr. Xi is sick and hospitalized.
Just sitting on the sofa and preparing to relax, when Duan Shutong suddenly saw this news, he was slightly taken aback, and immediately sent: Which hospital
After seeing Cen Ning's reply, he immediately picked up the door key and headed to the hospital.
