Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 516 Return to work

The winter vacation passed by in a hurry.

All the staff of the research center returned a week before Xu Weiwei started school. Some of them even prepared surprises for Xu Weiwei.

But before they had time to share the joy of reunion and have a good chat, everyone was overwhelmed by the overwhelming workload.

"Are you kidding me... all these are...?"

"Boss, have you taken advantage of these twenty or thirty days to travel around the universe?"

"Or did you save the life of the elf fairy?"

Xu Weiwei cooperated with them, raised her chin proudly and said, "Don't forget that I have the ability to make money."

Everyone wailed, and Xu Weiwei just watched them happily.

Although they cried miserably, it was mostly fake. Look carefully, everyone has a smile on their face. It is good to have something to do, which means they will not be unemployed. Although sometimes they are a little busy, their days are fulfilling and interesting.

Moreover, the sense of accomplishment gained from hard work cannot be summed up in a few words.

While most people were still chattering and discussing excitedly, a few people seemed a little abnormal.

They concentrated intently, moving between rows of potted plants, as if they were looking for something purposefully.

Suddenly, one of them yelled, and a group of people including Xu Weiwei quickly surrounded them. The girl was staring at the plant with yellow flowers in front of her, looking devastated.

"Dandelion! It looked very familiar to me when I was reading the book. I seemed to have seen it on the mountain near my home. I went back to confirm it and it was indeed the case."

"I was so happy that I picked the biggest one and dug it up and put it in a pot. I took the tricycle, then the bus, and then the starship... I held it in my arms all the way. I wanted to give you a surprise, but it turned out that you were already pregnant..."

The girl was very frustrated.

Several other people also found the plants they didn't want to see one after another, and their surprise turned into nothing, and they all became dejected.

Although she was not able to help much, Xu Weiwei was very happy because she saw the enthusiasm of scientific researchers from them. She was also touched that they had put so much effort into preparing a surprise for her.

"It's okay, it's okay. Ten or twenty more won't be too much." Xu Wei smiled and comforted. "You will learn how to prepare the herbs in the back and experience their flavors yourself. You will need a lot. If you see them outside, just bring them back."

"Come on! Let us express our gratitude to Assistant Zhang, Assistant Wang, Assistant Zhao and Assistant Li for their contributions to the collective!" Xu Weiwei led the applause.

The other friends also chirped enthusiastically and crowded around to express their "friendliness" and "concern".

"You boy! You almost made a contribution."

"Where did you hide what you dug? Take a look..."

"We're on the same starship, but you saw me and acted like a thief! You ran away without even saying hello! You were waiting for me here, right?! Great! I've finally seen the intrigues of the workplace!"

……

"Eh? Boss, what is this?"

While chatting, one of them noticed the drying rack in the corner. There were seven or eight baskets stacked on it from high to low, and only the top three had something in them, pale yellow, like dry branches, emitting a strange smell that was neither sweet nor bitter.

The others were also attracted over, but without Xu Weiwei's permission, they just watched politely and didn't get involved.

"This is the rhizome of Scutellaria baicalensis. It can clear dryness and cool the blood." Xu Weiwei walked over and explained.

"Slice drying is one of the methods of preparing this traditional Chinese medicine. It is first steam-heated or boiled in boiling water, and then the slices are naturally air-dried without being exposed to the sun."

"Oh~! So this is Huang Cen! The real thing is a little different from what is in the book, I didn't recognize it at first."

Xu Weiwei suddenly felt like she was stabbed: Is this meant to question her painting skills?

Good boy, next time in class I must catch him and ask him some tough questions to make him lose his sight again.

However, her childhood works seem a bit immature and could be updated by replacing the pictures with real objects.

After his thoughts wandered briefly, seeing how curious they were, Xu Weiwei said, "You can pick it up and feel its texture and smell it. But you can't lick it or taste it. Put it back after you're done."

"This is specially provided by patients. It's not easy to get so much."

"Wow! What kind of patient can make the boss take action?"

"It must be someone important."

"Boss, can you tell us about this case?"

Xu smiled but was "cold and ruthless": "No, the patient requested confidentiality."

Although Mrs. Wolfhard didn't say it directly, it was clear that she wouldn't like this being brought up.

At least not recently.

If someone were to connect the clues to Mrs. Wolfhard and spread the news, she would never be able to see her again in her life.

After reading almost everything, Xu Weiwei clapped her hands to call everyone's attention back to the main topic.

"I will start school in a week. The courses for this semester have changed. We can't have special arrangements like last semester. After school starts, the only time left for everyone is the weekend."

"I will see the situation and try to come back as much as possible. So, please cooperate with my schedule."

"What are you talking about, Boss! We are not a bother at all!"

"That's right! Boss, just focus on your studies! I'll make sure they work hard and don't cause any trouble!"

As soon as he finished speaking, this person suffered retribution and was beaten up by everyone.

Some people even whispered: "The boss is too mature and always ignores the fact that she is still a student..."

Finally, a tall, thin girl wearing glasses stepped forward and said, "Dr. Zhang, Professor Sun, and Professor Huang are at the research center. You don't have to worry too much. We are familiar with the work content. There won't be any trouble."

Xu Weiwei remembered that this girl was the second oldest among all the people, and her resume was also very impressive. She was also calm and steady, and acted decisively, giving the impression of being a "senior sister".

Hearing these words come from her mouth, Xu Weiwei felt particularly relieved.

"Okay, you just arrived today and you must be tired from the journey. Go back and have a good rest. Doctor Zhang and the other two professors will arrive in the afternoon. Let's have a meal together in the evening. I will pay for it. You can think about what to eat in advance."

"Oh ho!!!"

Everyone cheered and started an excited discussion.

Having said what needed to be said, Xu Weiwei walked out, leaving the space to the young people.

young people?

Thinking of this word, Xu Wei smiled and shook his head.

On her way back to the villa, she suddenly thought of something, stopped and dialed Finn's number.

"Hey."

Xu Weiwei rubbed his ears and said, "The staff of the research center have all returned to work today. I haven't told them about the new major shareholder."

"We're having a dinner tonight. Do you want to come? We can take this opportunity to formally meet with everyone and announce the matter."

"Okay. Do you need me to prepare anything? A self-introduction, or a gift for meeting someone. If we're having a dinner party, how about a bottle of champagne?"

"No, no, no! No need! You can just come here!" Xu Weiwei waved her hands repeatedly.

The other party paused, as if thinking about whether what Xu Weiwei said was feasible.

"it is good."

The topic ended, and after a brief silence of two seconds, the two spoke again at the same time:

"you--"

"I--"

"..."

"You go ahead and say it."

This interruption confused Xu Weiwei's speech system, and she reorganized it and said, "The two Chinese medicines you sent over, the white peony root has been fried, the scutellaria needs to be dried for a few days, and the donkey-hide gelatin. I guess we have to wait until after school starts."

"It's okay. Kane told me that the production process was troublesome and you worked hard."

Finn's voice sounded very gentle.

Xu Weiwei pushed the call interface further away and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Bye then..."

After the screen went off, Xu breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his ears again.

There seemed to be something wrong with her optical computer. The sound transmission was not right and the eardrums of people who listened to it always felt itchy.

Just get a new one.
