Chapter 2453: Chapter 2356: Submission

Huo Sining listened to the researchers lavish praise on her, and she felt a bit guilty.

You have to know that everyone here, even the youngest, is over thirty years old, around Qin Shaoyou’s age, and could at least be her teacher.

In front of these people, her skills were just minor, like showing off an axe in front of the master carpenter. Without the Spiritual Energy from Azure Pearl to rely on, she wouldn’t really qualify to stand among them.

So she quickly waved her hands and said awkwardly:

"Dear elder brothers and sisters, you are all my seniors. My little tricks are nothing among you, your praise is making me quite embarrassed."

"Professor Zhang invited me here also to see if I could lend a hand. If there is anything I can help with, just let me know, I will do everything in my power to help you solve it."

"However, I don’t dare boast that I can surely help you solve the silkworm breeding problem, after all, I have only raised fish before. I haven’t tried silkworms yet, so I can’t give you a definite answer for now."

Zhang Xiaomei saw so many people surrounding Huo Sining and felt it wasn’t very polite. After all, it’s Huo Sining’s first time at this laboratory; too much attention might displease her, which wouldn’t be good. So Zhang Xiaomei quickly spoke to stop everyone’s actions:

"Alright, alright, don’t treat it like you’re watching a Western Ocean spectacle. Go back to your tasks. Ding Ye, quickly tally up the departing members, revoke their fingerprint access, kick them out from related chat groups, and block information promptly to prevent leaks from here."

Although Zhang Xiaomei didn’t say it explicitly, the meaning was clear: news of Huo Sining participating in the silkworm breeding project must not reach Wang Yaoguo’s side.

The crowd immediately understood and exchanged knowing glances while showing schadenfreude smiles, apparently waiting to see Wang Yaoguo’s team’s embarrassment.

Since it was getting late, Zhang Xiaomei didn’t keep Huo Sining at the laboratory for long. After resolving the issues left by Wang Yaoguo leading his team out, she promptly took Huo Sining away.

Perhaps because they hit it off, Old Granny insisted on having Huo Sining stay at the Zhang Family Mansion to rest and adamantly refused to let her stay at a hotel.

Huo Sining could sleep anywhere, and unable to resist Zhang Xiaomei’s insistence, she agreed reluctantly. The two returned to the Zhang residence, and passed a quiet night without incident, with Huo Sining sleeping soundly until morning without insomniac issues from unfamiliar beds.

The next day she followed Zhang Xiaomei back to the laboratory side, and in the course of a night, the staff had already prepared all the silkworm breeding materials. Seeing Huo Sining, they directly pushed the materials to her.

"Here is the overview of the current progress of our entire project. We’ve outlined the project’s difficulties; Miss Huo, you can take a look first."

The person responsible for organizing the materials was a man around thirty, named Ding Ye, who was the youngest in the entire team and had the shortest tenure at the laboratory, so he handled mostly marginal and menial tasks.

But it was clear that Ding Ye was very sincere and had a strong sense of belonging to the laboratory. From his eyes, you could see he was a very honest young man.

Last night, Huo Sining also noticed him. When Wang Yaoguo’s group was trying to stage a coup, Ding Ye was the first to step out and support Zhang Xiaomei, strongly condemning those traitors in his speech.

Although all were support tasks, from his tired eyes and apparent dark circles, it was evident that he stayed up all night organizing the materials and probably did not sleep at all.

This kind of earnestness towards work and consistent following of a leader like Zhang Xiaomei makes such a subordinate likable to everyone.

Although outsiders might view him as just an odd-jobber in the laboratory, Huo Sining realized last night that Zhang Xiaomei probably favored Ding Ye, even entrusting him to clean up Wang Yaoguo’s mess, showing Zhang Xiaomei’s trust in this young man.

Huo Sining picked up the stack of materials and read them over. Possibly considering that Huo Sining was still in college, Ding Ye had removed some of the obscure and difficult parts of the project, leaving only the framework and parts he thought Huo Sining could understand.

Therefore, reading through the entire project summary report posed no barrier for Huo Sining. After reviewing it, her mind was clear, she had a complete understanding of the project, and knew the situation Zhang Xiaomei and the team were in.

Huo Sining couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration for Ding Ye. If he weren’t someone valued by Zhang Xiaomei, she might even have considered poaching him.

Ding Ye seemed eager to know Huo Sining’s evaluation of his report and anxiously waited beside her. On the contrary, Zhang Xiaomei calmly sat in the office, apparently having predicted that Huo Sining would be satisfied.

"Miss Huo, did you understand it?"

Ding Ye asked tentatively, seemingly worried that this question might hurt Huo Sining’s self-esteem, so he was extremely cautious, his tone tinged with nervousness and embarrassment.

Huo Sining couldn’t help but chuckle: "Why do you sound like you’re facing the school principal? Senior Brother Ding, you don’t have to be so nervous, your report is exceptionally well summarized. I can understand it; if you hadn’t processed it this way, I really might be confused. Thank you."

Receiving Huo Sining’s affirmation, Ding Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, showing a hint of joy and scratching the back of his head in embarrassment: "That’s good, hehe, that’s good."

Huo Sining really found it amusing. She wanted to ask him whether she seemed that intimidating, why he treated her as if facing a teacher, showing a would-be foe expression.

Huo Sining didn’t know how high her status was in the eyes of these researchers. Someone who could raise Primordial Huaxia Koi samples and angelfish samples is teacher-level to these researchers.

These tech nerds only recognized ability, not background, who is skilled, they worship, entirely unrelated to how rich someone is or how much power they hold.

Since Huo Sining was skilled, they revered her, and since she was so young, they admired her even more. If she could really help them cultivate primordial silkworm breeds, they would absolutely surrender to her without a second thought!
