Qian Yan

Chapter 167 Make trouble
Their old place is a restaurant near Columbia.There is no Michelin star and there is no particularly good flavor, but because Cheng Jialu will not waste time on improving the quality of life, the proximity to his laboratory is the highest criterion.

Wei Zexi has a home in New York, so he came with a small luggage.He flipped through the menu and asked, "How is Chen Can doing now? Wei Ran still cares about her."

"I don't know her well, but she told me in the afternoon that she met Zhang Yuman in the mall."

This time Wei Zexi was a little surprised: "She knows Zhang Yuman?"

"It was Zhang Yuman who recognized her. From Zhang Yuman's mouth, she knew that I knew Weiran, so she came to ask."

Wei Zexi quickly ordered the meal and handed it to the waiter, saying, "It's really troublesome for Chen Can to revise his usual grades."

"She said that she gave up the exam because of her father's illness. It was justifiable, but now she has become passive." Cheng Jialu said with a frown, "But now that Chen Can has enrolled, such a trivial matter may cause her to drop out of school." Not much sex."

"Probably not. After all, Zhang Yuman has already written a statement, so can he retract his confession?"

"What statement?" Cheng Jialu asked.

"Weiman handed over Teacher Zhang's formula in exchange for her statement that she framed Chen Can."

Cheng Jialu pursed his lips and nodded, saying: "But Zhang Yuman doesn't know, in fact, Weiran has never handed over the formula, in fact, she followed her mother's last wish and did it for her own good."

Wei Zexi said: "The situation was urgent at the time. After all, Zhang Yuman threatened to drag you into trouble. We could have used other methods to protect you and Chen Can, but the effect would not be as good, nor could we achieve this. The result of killing two birds with one stone——and, Zhang Yuman and Fang Aili have fallen to the current situation, I really feel in my heart, yes, it's so cool!"

Hearing his decisive words, Cheng Jialu suddenly remembered Weiran.

Her expression when she was telling those painful past events was so similar to Wei Zexi in front of him at this moment.They have a feeling of fighting side by side with the same enemy, and he has become a bystander and can no longer penetrate.

This sense of despair of complete loss made his heart smolder.In fact, inexplicable things had already piled up there, but at this moment, it deepened a layer, making him see more clearly that he and Weiran could never go back to the past.

Therefore, he felt a sense of loss, that this meal was also tasteless.

When the meal came out, the sky was already full of stars.

"Come on, come sit with me?" Wei Zexi asked Cheng Jialu.

Cheng Jialu shook his head: "I'm going back to do some more experiments, anyway, I won't be able to rest tonight."

Wei Zexi raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay."

They said goodbye at the gate of Columbia University. When Cheng Jialu turned and walked back, he looked up at his laboratory and stopped suddenly.

Wei Zexi asked, "What's wrong?"

"Just now, there seems to be a figure in the window of the laboratory." Cheng Jialu's laboratory, in order to maintain the work that may be going on inside, always keeps the lights on when leaving.

"Are those students you lead working overtime?"

"No, there was no one there when I left, not to mention there are no urgent subjects recently."

Wei Zexi thought for a while and said, "Let me go and have a look with you."

Chapter 27 How to Make a Kiss
The door is locked as usual.When I opened the door and went in, it was quiet and safe inside.

"It seems that your eyes are dazzled." Wei Zexi said.

"Well, maybe it is." Cheng Jialu said, opened the medicine cabinet, and took out several bottles of reagents.

Anyway, already in the laboratory, Wei Zexi left in no hurry.He leaned on the cabinet and looked around, saw Cheng Jialu went to the sink to wash his hands, put on his gloves, and asked, "Aren't you taking care of the students now, can you assign them this kind of work?"

"For them to understand exactly what I mean, it takes a lot more effort than doing it myself. And scientific research is different from your routine work." Cheng Jialu said briefly,

Wei Zexi gave a "tsk" and said to himself, "I already have a Ph.D. Can't I save a little effort?"

Cheng Jialu ignored him and opened the record book to check the progress of his experiment.

Swipe your finger over the previous steps and land on the current one.Tetrahydrofuran, whose vapors can form explosive mixtures with air, requires handling in a fume hood.

So he opened the fume hood and put THF in.

Set the time and start booting.Just as Cheng Jialu pulled down the glass door of the fume hood, Wei Zexi suddenly felt a trace of wind behind his ears.

He immediately turned his head and looked back, only to see that the door of the medicine storage room was open, and the sound of hurried footsteps was going out, obviously someone was running away.But the open door of the storage room blocked his view, and he couldn't see the other person's figure clearly. He only heard the sound of the heel hitting the ground. It should be at or above the middle heel, and it was probably a woman.

Wei Zexi immediately strode over there, and Cheng Jialu also turned around and followed.

In his haste, he didn't notice that there was still a thin gap in the fume hood that hadn't been closed tightly.

The fume hood was activated, and the dangerous chemicals inside slowly began to react.

Wei Zexi kicked the door of the storage room shut, and saw the figure running out of the door.The other party was wearing a tight leather jacket, short skirt, leggings, and a pair of chunky high-heeled leather boots.

He immediately shouted: "Zhang Yuman, stop!"

The other party paused, seeing that he had recognized him, he simply turned around and asked arrogantly, "Wei Zexi, are you guilty?"

Wei Zexi stepped forward a few steps, and asked with a sneer: "You sneaked in, how guilty of me? Tell me, why did you sneak in? Where did you get the key?!"

Zhang Yuman didn't dare to confront him, so she turned to Cheng Jialu and asked, "Dr. Cheng, why do you say I sneaked into the laboratory? Because I want to get back what my mother left me! My mother entrusted you to edit I have already found the contract for the formula. It is written in black and white that she entrusted you to perfect the formula. But because of Yan Weiran, my mother has passed away, and you still hold the formula tightly in your hand and refuse to give it to me. My mother's only relative has not even told me about the progress of the experiment! Then I'll come and get back my mother's belongings, don't you think I should?!"

Cheng Jialu is in the academic circle, and he has never seen such a messy person. Seeing her arrogance, he retorted: "Zhang Yuman, don't confuse right and wrong here, and reflect on why everyone treats you like this. You!"

Wei Zexi looked up at the ceiling speechlessly, and thought, Jialu, you are too rude to quarrel, if it were me, I would lose if I didn't scold her to death within 3 minutes!
"Hahaha, I turned right and wrong?" Zhang Yuman said with a sad smile, "It's not me who turned right and wrong, but Yan Weiran! She has occupied my mother's inheritance for so long, and I haven't settled with her yet! Dr. Cheng, you You must have been cheated by her too, you see you have worked so hard to help her get the formula, do you think she has the right to take my mother's things?"

Cheng Jialu asked back: "When did Wei Ran take over your mother's inheritance? Don't spit on people!"

"My mother has written in black and white that she entrusted you to revise the formula. Have you complied with it? The contract is legally binding. If you don't hand it over now, it will be illegal!"

Seeing that the two of them couldn't get to the point for a long time, Wei Zexi couldn't help but sneered, "Zhang Yuman, you keep saying that this is yours, but I remember your mother's suicide note said that this recipe It's just a symbol, mainly to motivate you to work hard, and then as a souvenir for you. Now instead of making achievements in the industry, you just want to use it to harm people and cheat money. How can we go against your mother's last wish, Give you the recipe?"

"I don't care! I just want my mother's things back! Do you know how much I have been hurt by Yan Weiran these years?" Zhang Yuman burst into tears, "I have no mother, no career , and now that recipe has caused my reputation in the industry to stink again, who can understand my grievances and pains?! I know you are defending Yan Weiran, but things have come to this point, I just want to beg you, beg Yan Weiran, I know that you have the correct formula in your hands, you can return the formula to me, so that I can inherit my mother's inheritance, and finally get some comfort, please, okay?"

Wei Zexi asked angrily: "What is the correct formula? That's the formula your mother left behind. Didn't you coerce Weiran and get it from her? Oh, when you took it away, you were afraid that Weiran would peek at it. Beware of red eyes; now that you know that your mother's formula is flawed, I wish we could revise the formula and give it to you again, Zhang Yuman, look at your face, you are schizophrenic!"

Zhang Yuman knew that he was no match for him, so he simply turned a deaf ear to his taunts. He only looked at Cheng Jialu and asked, "Dr. She perfected it, and you have a revised formula, don't you?"

Cheng Jialu hesitated for a moment, but did not speak.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Yuman's confidence increased immediately, and his voice became sharp: "Dr. Cheng, do you dare to swear that you have not achieved any research results? Do you dare to swear to my mother in the spirit of the sky? Do you dare to say that this formula cannot Is the elimination of defects perfect? ​​Isn’t your laboratory known as the top? Don’t you have any results for so long? Then what kind of top biochemical laboratory are you, and you haven’t achieved any results in the past two years?!”

Cheng Jialu couldn't help frowning at her series of pressing questions, which were outrageous and irritating. Under her irritation, he blurted out: "The flaws can indeed be made up for, but our achievements have nothing to do with you!"

Wei Zexi caught Zhang Yuman's fleeting triumphant expression, and immediately lowered his voice to stop him: "Jialu!"
