When they arrived at the lab, the atmosphere became somewhat strange.

Most of the researchers, like Wu Yong, wore thick glasses and seemed rather shy. The staff in Gu Medical Company’s lab were mostly young people, appearing to be typical tech geeks.

Leading them was a pretty woman in her twenties with carefully styled wavy hair. Although she wore light makeup, it was clear she had put effort into her appearance, making her stand out among the others.

The clothes of the other researchers were somewhat worn, as they didn’t care much about their appearance. In contrast, this woman’s clothes were brand new, and she even had meticulously done nails, indicating she wasn’t a serious researcher.

“President Gu, you’re finally back. Now that you’re here, I feel at ease,” the woman said with a bright smile, her eyes fixed on Gu Chen.

Song Fan rolled her eyes. Within just a few hours at Gu Corporation, she had already encountered several of Gu Chen’s admirers. It seemed her work at Gu Corporation would be challenging.

Gu Chen merely nodded. “Manager Fang, this is Song Fan. She is a specially hired researcher by Gu Corporation. From now on, she will be in charge of the anti-tumor drug project.”

“That won’t do,” Fang Si immediately objected. “Miss Song is not a Gu Corporation employee, and the anti-tumor drug project is of utmost importance. What if something goes wrong?”

Fang Si had no academic achievements but excelled in social skills. She was the ideal public relations person when introducing the research institute and Gu Medical Company to others.

In Gu Corporation, she was one of the few female employees who could talk to Gu Chen, which made her proud. Now, with Song Fan stepping in, she feared not only being overshadowed at work but also losing Gu Chen’s attention.

Seeing Gu Chen’s displeased expression, Fang Si quickly stepped forward, blocking Song Fan. “President Gu, Miss Song is so young; she probably only knows high school-level physics and chemistry. Having her lead such an important project might affect Gu Corporation.”

Fang Si didn’t know Song Fan personally but had heard she was Gu Chen’s confidante in A City. She had also seen Song Fan’s jewelry brand launch, thinking Song Fan was just a designer propped up by her family and influential friends.

How could a jewelry designer possibly handle anti-tumor drugs?

But just as she finished speaking, a girl with black-rimmed glasses spoke up, “Song Fan is an internationally recognized master. Wu Yong himself isn’t as good as her.”

Several men with glasses also nodded in agreement.

Song Fan looked at the girl who had spoken; she didn’t know her, but it was clear she was also a researcher.

Fang Si was the first to object, “Zhao Min, what do you know? Do you know Song Fan? She is just a jewelry designer.”

Zhao Min pushed up her glasses and lowered her head, but her voice was firm, “Why don’t you check the international awards Song Fan has won? Wu Yong praises her highly. You should focus on public relations and leave the research to others.”

“You!” If Gu Chen weren’t present, Fang Si would have rushed over to tear Zhao Min apart.

But she held back and turned to Gu Chen with a face full of grievance, “President Gu, Zhao Min doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Don’t believe her.”

Before she could further disparage Song Fan, Gu Chen interrupted, “After Wu Yong left, Zhao Min has been leading the research, ensuring no setbacks in the drug development. If you disagree with my decision, feel free to resign.”

Fang Si stood there stunned, but Gu Chen ignored her and addressed the others, “With Wu Yong gone, Song Fan will be your new leader. All anti-tumor drug research will be under her direction. If anyone disobeys her, they can leave Gu Corporation!”

Zhao Min kept her head down but nodded vigorously, even making a small victory gesture below.

The others looked at Song Fan with curiosity and excitement but not discontent. They were quite eager to see the genius Wu Yong spoke of.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Gu Chen was very satisfied.

He grabbed Song Fan’s hand. She tried to shake it off, but he held on firmly.

Everyone stared, even the previously shy Zhao Min raised her head with a gossipy look.

“Aren’t you going to introduce yourself to your team?” Gu Chen said gently.

With an awkward smile, Song Fan felt the intense gazes from all around. Finally, she maintained her awkward smile and said, “Hello, everyone. I am Song Fan.”
