To be honest, Chen Peng didn't really want to help Wang Juan ask Professor Wang. From what he had learned about Professor Wang over this period of time, even if they did ask, it was likely that nothing good would come out of it.

  However, Wang Juan kept pestering him until he had to ask, even his parents were brought out, so he found a spare moment to mention this matter to Professor Wang.

  Just as Chen Peng started speaking, Gu Ming walked into the office, and Professor Wang didn't intend to stop the topic, gesturing for Chen Peng to continue.

  There was no way out, Chen Peng glanced at Gu Mian standing quietly beside him and had to ask stiffly. However, he wasn't stupid and adopted a more tactful approach.

  When Gu Mei heard what Chen Peng said, she thought that she might have to work with Wang Juan, and her heart felt a wave of disgust. Chen Peng was a man after all, even if he didn't see eye-to-eye with her on some things, he wouldn't do anything extreme, but if it were Wang Juan, it would be different. In the end, it would be two against one, and she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

  Fortunately, Professor Wang apparently wasn't too enthusiastic about Wang Juan either, and didn't immediately agree with Chen Peng, nor did he directly refuse, but just said he needed to consider it.

  It was said that it needed to be considered, but this also counted as a kind of tactful refusal. Chen Peng also understood the meaning behind Professor Wang's words and didn't say anything else, turning around and leaving the office.

  After Chen Peng left, Professor Wang saw Gu Xiang's relieved face and smiled, shaking his head. "I heard you've done a lot of good things during my business trip?"

  "What's good about it? Nothing is nothing." Gu Mian looked at Professor Wang with a smile.

  "Are you still being modest?" Professor Wang looked at Gu Mian with a smile and said, "Old Qiao has already told me that you helped someone retrieve 500,000 yuan, and now you're quite famous in the circle."

  Gu Mei waved her hand repeatedly: "That 500,000 wasn't recovered by me. I just happened to notice that there was a problem with the wrapped branch peony bottle, and the person who came up with the idea was Qin Sheng."

  "Anyway, you've done a great job." Professor Wang praised Gu Mian for a few sentences and continued: "As someone in our line of work, it's inevitable that we'll come into contact with people who like collecting antiques. It's always good to have more connections with them. I was actually thinking of finding an opportunity to take you around to meet some people, but it seems you've taken the initiative yourself."

  "This is just good luck." Gu Ming said with a smile.

  "Good luck is also a kind of strength." Professor Wang knew that Gu Mian's words were mostly joking, and he didn't say much about it. After a moment of silence, he continued: "This time I went on a business trip. I met Professor Liu."

  "What's wrong with Professor Liu?" Gu Meng looked at Wang Professor in confusion, she hadn't forgotten that there was some discord between Wang Professor and Liu Professor, and now suddenly mentioning this.

  "Time doesn't spare anyone. Professor Liu has been a bit unwell lately, and his body looks much worse. Do you still remember Xia Jun who was by his side?" asked Professor Wang.

  "Got it." Gu Mian nodded.

  In Taiyuan, although Xia Jun sometimes seemed a bit arrogant, overall he was still okay.

  "What do you think about letting Xia Jun be my assistant?" Professor Wang asked.

  Gu Meng was taken aback for a moment, then asked: "Was it Professor Liu's proposal? Isn't Xia Jun Professor Liu's assistant? If he comes to Professor Wang's side, what will Professor Liu do?"

  "Lao Liu has more than one assistant, and Lao Liu's health is not very good now. Xia Jun following him around is also idle. So I want to let him come here to gain some experience." Professor Wang sighed, unsure if it was for Professor Liu's health or something else.

  Gu Mian lowered her head, thinking to herself that Professor Wang already had two assistants, herself and Chen Peng, while Xia Jun was clearly not qualified enough to be here alone, presumably also as an assistant.

  With that, adding Xia Jun's words, Professor Wang had three assistants by his side. Having three assistants as a professor is not unheard of, it's just relatively rare.

  Xia Jun's abilities are beyond doubt, and if he were to come to Professor Wang's side, everyone would be much more at ease. However, the problem is that Professor Liu only said to let Xia Jun come over for some training. He didn't say whether Xia Jun would leave afterwards or not, and if his stay here is short, it won't yield significant results, which doesn't feel quite right.

  As for Wang Juan, whom Chen Peng mentioned earlier. Gu Mei had long since cast her aside, she never had any intention of working with Wang Juan in the first place. If possible, she even hoped that Chen Peng would be transferred away too, best if he could be transferred to work together with Wang Juan, so as to prevent these two people from causing trouble when they have nothing better to do.

  Of course, this idea was just thought of in Gu Mian's heart and no one had told it to anyone.

  Wang Juan learned of Professor Wang's response from Chen Peng, and a flame of anger immediately rose in her heart. However, she also knew that she was just a small assistant, and the new director seemed to not like her very much, so even if she was dissatisfied with Professor Wang's response, what could she do?

  She may not be able to say anything to Professor Wang, but that doesn't mean she can't do something about it with other people.

  Chen Peng was her cousin, even if she had complaints, she couldn't do anything to her own cousin, let alone that she still needed Chen Peng to take care of her here. In this way, she shifted all her anger onto Gu Mian's head.

  Gu Meng was a newcomer, and she didn't know what kind of luck she had, but before she even graduated, she was favored by the professor, and after just one internship, she entered a government agency. Compared to those who relied on their real abilities to get in, she didn't know how much worse she was.

  She couldn't go to Professor Wang's side as an assistant, in her opinion, Gu Mian had blocked her way. Between her and Gu Mian, she absolutely believed that she was the more excellent one, while Gu Mian was just relying on his sweet mouth and unknown means to deceive Professor Wang into letting him come here.

  The more she thought about it, the more Wang Juan couldn't stand Gu Mian. Every time she saw Gu Mian, her indignation was hard to contain.

  Women are naturally more sensitive to various gazes, with Wang Juan's great resentment, how could Gu Mei not feel it? She was just busy with her own affairs and didn't bother to care about Wang Juan, just took a glance and that was all, after all, she wouldn't lose any flesh.

  To be honest, although Wang Juan had a thousand and ten thousand dissatisfactions with Gu Mian, but if she really did something about it, she didn't have the ability to do so. At most, she could only make some small troubles. But the little trouble she made was completely harmless to Gu Mian, which really made Wang Juan angry enough.

  As time went on, many people saw the little secret between Wang Juan and Gu Mian. However, most people thought that Wang Juan was not doing things in a decent way and secretly ridiculed her for being jealous of Gu Mian and doing such a thing.

  Hu Dajie obviously stood on Gu Mei's side, and every time she saw Wang Juan's little movements, she felt that with a person like Wang Juan around, it was simply dragging down the overall level of their group.

  "Gu Mian, what's wrong with Wang Juan's brain? Why is she always biting you like a mad dog and won't let go? Have you offended her?" After lunch, Hu Dajie and Gu Mian sat together chatting, and couldn't help but speak up again.

  She took a sip of the lemon tea provided by Hu Dajie and said indifferently, "When you don't like someone, you don't need a reason. Professor Xie left, and our new director never assigns her tasks. I think she's anxious, so she wants to find someone to vent on. Who made me the most junior? She naturally set her sights on me."

  "Look at her, one of these days she'll get picked up by someone." Hu's sister said indignantly.

  "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Professor Xie's position is vacant, isn't someone supposed to come back and take over? Who could that person be?"

  "I'm not sure about this either, but I know someone will be coming in a few days. I've noticed that the new director hasn't given Wang Juan any tasks, probably because he's planning to have her follow the new professor." said Hu Dajie.

  It didn't take long for someone to come and replace Professor Xie's position. If Hu's guess was correct, Wang Juan was indeed directly assigned to that new professor.

  The new professor's surname is He, a middle-aged woman who looks fairly decent.

  Everyone thought it would be a man who came to replace Professor Xie, but when they saw Professor He, they were shocked.

  The arrival of Professor He attracted the attention of a large number of people, and everyone was very curious about this new professor, from time to time secretly paying attention to Professor He's movements.

  Unlike Professor He's relatively gentle appearance, she can be said to be swift and decisive in her actions, never dragging her feet or hesitating, and many people cannot keep up with her.

  Following such a professor, Wang Juan naturally had no way to come and find trouble with Gu Mian. Every day, she was already exhausted from completing the tasks assigned by Professor He on time, and she really didn't have the extra energy to do other things.

  Although Gu Shuang didn't mind some of Wang Juan's provocative behavior, seeing her busy and not having time to cause trouble made her happy from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, she also had a few more good impressions of Professor He.

  Professor He came here for only a few days, and Professor Wang had not yet decided whether to let Xia Jun come over as an assistant. As a result, Xia Jun sent a message from the other side, tactfully indicating that he did not want to come over.

  Upon hearing the news, Professor Wang merely sighed and didn't say anything else, dropping the subject. As for Gu Mei, she couldn't quite put her finger on how she felt about it, after all, she wasn't particularly close to Xia Jun either.

  She soon received news of Professor Liu's deteriorating condition from Professor Wang, who had always been at odds with Professor Liu. However, upon receiving the news, he immediately took time off and went to the hospital to visit Professor Liu.

  Gu Mian also had a good impression of Professor Liu. Although the professor was somewhat serious and conservative, Gu Mian thought he was quite all right just because he didn't cover up for his assistant for the sake of face at that time.

  She didn't expect that after arriving at the hospital, the first thing she saw was Xia Jun being chased out of the ward by Professor Liu.
