kiss you while drunk

Chapter 42 Missing

This shocked Jiang Xinran, who was speechless for a moment.

In her memory, Gu Ruo rarely spoke out about her feelings.

In the past or now, when we were together, Gu Ruo thought about Jiang Xinran's feelings a lot, and Jiang Xinran was also happy to share his feelings with her.

But Gu Ruo seldom speaks out of her heart.

Even though Jiang Xinran noticed that something was wrong with her, he forced her to ask: "Are you unhappy?"

Most of the time, Gu Ruo would just say: "No." Or: "Don't worry."

It is a bit rare to say "I feel uncomfortable" to Jiang Xinran so bluntly.

It was too inconsistent with Gu Ruo's style, so Jiang Xinran was stunned for almost a minute, almost thinking that the body of Gu Ruo in front of him was no longer Gu Ruo's soul, whether she was possessed by something.

Subconsciously, Jiang Xinran raised his hand and touched Gu Ruo's face.

Gu Ruo was obedient and cooperative, squatting beside her legs, took the initiative to put his profile into her palm, and rubbed her face incessantly.

"Gu Ruo." Jiang Xinran said.

"Ok?"

"It seems to be the first time I've heard you express your feelings seriously and actively."

Gu Ruo paused for a moment, then quickly recovered.

She withdrew her cheek from Jiang Xinran's hand, leaned against the desk, held up Jiang Xinran's arm, and applied medicine to the scrape on her elbow.

The other arm was similarly smeared with ointment.

After putting the medicine box back to its original place, the instant noodles in the small electric pot had already swelled, the noodles were soft and rotten like a mess, and there was no soup in the pot.

Gu Ruo didn't give up, took the pot and put it in his mouth. He ate the whole pot of noodles in a few minutes, picked up the dishes Jiang Xinran had finished eating, and took them to the sink on the balcony to wash.

Everything was done skillfully and naturally, as if she had been to Jiang Xinran's dormitory hundreds of times.

After cleaning the pot, I boiled another pot of water, washed a piece of ginger, and without finding a knife, smashed it flat with my palm, threw it into the pot, and made ginger soup for Jiang Xinran.

"..." Jiang Xinran leaned against the sliding door of the balcony and looked at it, making her hands ache.

It was a palm of flesh and blood, not a palm of iron sand. Even with the force of a tiger's mouth, it still hurts.

Looking at Gu Ruo again, he was already pouring brown sugar into the pot as if nothing happened.

The ginger soup was boiled and brought into the dormitory. Jiang Xinran used a bowl and Gu Ruo used a pot. One bowl for each person, the portion was just right.

Holding the bowl, Jiang Xinran didn't rush to drink, but let the heat blind her eyes, and soon her eyes became foggy.

Gu Ruo's face was behind the fog, hazy like a dream, more pleasing to the eye than when he saw it clearly.

The smell of ginger is pungent, and Jiang Xinran's eyes were full of tears, and I don't know if it was because of this reason.

She reminded herself repeatedly in her heart that it was impossible to be with Gu Ruo, and it would never be possible again.

Never again.

Jiang Xinran hated other people's concealment and deception the most. Back then, her mother kept it from her and quietly found a man to remarry.Jiang Xinran was like an idiot. They didn't even know that it was their second wedding banquet on the day of the banquet, or that the man's relatives who were troubled were teasing her: "What do you think of the new dad your mother found for you?" Belatedly realized that it was not an ordinary banquet.

She has two bottom-line requirements for her lover: honesty and respect.

Gu Ruo couldn't do anything.

Jiang Xinran thought that he would never be able to accept a person who hides something and doesn't respect him, even if that person is Gu Ruo.

Gu Ruo seemed to be able to read minds, and only at this moment did she answer her previous sentence.

"After you left, I seriously reflected on myself."

When Gu Ruo spoke, he focused on looking into Jiang Xinran's eyes: "I want to learn to be more honest with you."

There were waves in Jiang Xinran's pupils.

Gu Ruo said: "This is difficult, I need a little time."

Jiang Xinran's heart was agitated, but he suppressed it quickly, his face was calm and unmoved, "I don't care anymore."

Gu Ruo's frankness came too late, and Jiang Xinran didn't even insist on asking Gu Ruo why he left that year.

Because Jiang Xinran has made up his mind to leave Gu Ruo and start a new life.

Gu Ruo asked her to give her a second chance, and Jiang Xinran gave it to her, but Gu Ruo didn't cherish it, and there was no need to give it a third time.

"Dyeing..."

"It's getting late, finish your ginger soup and go back. You have to go to work tomorrow, so don't stay up too late."

Jiang Xinran sent Gu Ruo away politely, but with a firm attitude.

Gu Ruo took a deep look at her and had no choice but to leave.

……

I don’t know whether it’s the ginger soup that’s effective or Jiang Xinran’s physical fitness has improved. I was drenched in the rain the day before, and when I woke up the next morning, I felt refreshed. The wound has healed and the pain is gone, which makes her feel good.

This good mood lasted until the moment I walked into the office.

Jiang Xinran came very early. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuai came earlier than her, and was already sitting in the office typing on the computer keyboard.

"Morning." Jiang Xinran greeted him bravely.

Zhang Shuai didn't even look up, so he pretended he didn't hear.

Jiang Xinran didn't talk to him anymore, she had made a decision before she came, if Zhang Shuai didn't arrange work for her today, she would go to Liu Zu and ask another master to take her.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuai then took the initiative to talk to her: "Have you got your intranet account yet?"

Jiang Xinran was quite surprised, and replied: "The assistant said that I can come down today."

This assistant is assigned to each project team by the Human Resources Department, and is responsible for the personnel transfer and daily work of the project team. The assistant of Jiang Xinran's project team is a young girl, a few years younger than Jiang Xinran, with a sweet smile and a great sense of humor. energy.

"That's good." Zhang Shuai nodded, "Tell me as soon as you log out of your account, and I'll send you a form, and you fill in the experimental data from yesterday one by one. The data must be careful to avoid mistakes."

"Understood." Jiang Xinran responded.

Although I can't enter the laboratory for the time being, I finally have something to do.She pulls herself together.

The normal working hours are at nine o'clock. Before eight fifty, there were only a few people in the office. After eight fifty-one, everyone clocked in and went to work. After a while, the office was full. They greeted each other and opened the office. Computer, as soon as it arrived at nine o'clock, the team leader Liu Qi walked in and clapped his hands, "Everyone, come here, let's have a short morning meeting and report yesterday's progress."

It stands to reason that Jiang Xinran is just an intern and shouldn't participate in this kind of meeting, but because her graduate supervisor's research project has Gu's investment, and the new antiviral drug developed by this project team is based on her supervisor's project Commercial preparation, this is the only authorized laboratory in China, so the addition of Jiang Xinran is particularly important.

Interests are related, so it is completely unnecessary to keep Jiang Xinran secret. On the contrary, Jiang Xinran's joining will greatly promote their work progress.

Jiang Xinran listened for a while, and already guessed that this project team was established after Gu invested in her mentor's laboratory. The project establishment time was short and the progress was very slow. It had just entered the stage of screening lead compounds, and the amount of experimental data extremely large.

Generally, professional software for this kind of large amount of data will be screened first by computer. Jiang Xinran frowned, remembering the dozen or so confusing forms that Zhang Shuai sent to him just now.

Their school labs all have data entry software. It makes no sense that commercial labs are still using Excel sheets to record data.

This made it hard for Jiang Xinran not to think that Zhang Shuai was deliberately messing with her.

But this is a personal issue between her and Zhang Shuai, so it's not easy to bring it up at the morning meeting.

After the morning meeting, Jiang Xinran went to talk to Zhang Shuai about it in private.

Zhang Shuai only gave her a contemptuous look, "You can fill it in if you want, why are there so many nonsense?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. I hope my work is valuable and don't waste it on this kind of meaningless data entry. The speed and accuracy of manual data entry are far inferior to professional software. Brother Zhang should know this better than me."

"What's your tone?" Zhang Shuai was visibly upset, "Aren't you just a graduate student who has published two papers? What's the point of not graduating yet? You can do whatever you want because you have a good teacher? I told You, this is the company, not your Linyuan University, put away your arrogance of top students."

"I'm just putting forward my rationalization suggestion. What does it have to do with whether I'm a top student or not?" Jiang Xinran became angry when he saw that he questioned his professionalism. .

"Zhang Shuai, forget it, you have been working for four or five years, what are you fussing about with a girl who hasn't graduated yet? Xiao Jiang, you too, Zhang Shuai is your master now, didn't the school teach you to respect teachers? Did you talk to the master like this? Both of you took a step back to calm the fire, Zhang Shuai, let’s go, it’s time to go to the laboratory. Xiao Jiang, just do the tasks assigned to you by your master, and don’t worry about other things.”

Jiang Xinran sat at his desk, the more he thought about it, the more he felt annoyed. He opened the mailbox, found the newcomer notice sent to him by his assistant, copied the password of the server in the group, and found the installation of various professional software on the cloud. package, she downloaded it, installed it on the computer, and directly used the software to enter and organize all the data. The whole process took less than two hours.

If these data were to be entered manually, it would take at least twice as long.

Zhang Shuai was still in the laboratory, and Jiang Xinran was bored after finishing his work. He checked the experimental data one by one on the computer to pass the time.

This shows the problem.

Some sets of data are obviously wrong.

Jiang Xinran conducted an in vitro experiment on the activity of this compound last year. Although the experimental design was not as sophisticated as that of a commercial laboratory, and the control group was limited, the data performance of this type of compound is definitely not like this.

This type of hepatitis virus has not been discovered for a long time. Although it has many experimental similarities with ordinary hepatitis C virus, the reaction to this type of compound is different. The activity is not so strong, and the data on the inhibition of virus reproduction speed is completely wrong.

This is also the difficulty in the research and development of this new type of liver virus inhibitor.

Jiang Xinran saw at a glance that this set of data was falsified, which was fabricated by comparing the experimental data of common hepatitis C virus.

That is to say, some people in this project team were lazy, and did not do this experiment at all yesterday, and only filled it out based on empiricism.

Jiang Xinran didn't dare to be careless, and marked all the data in red, and planned to tell Zhang Shuai in the afternoon.

If Zhang Shuai insists on going his own way and refuses to listen to her, then she doesn't mind reacting directly to Team Leader Liu Qi.

At around 50:[-] noon, Jiang Xinran was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch, when suddenly a strange call came in on her mobile phone, showing Linyuan's number.

Who is it?

Jiang Xinran picked it up suspiciously, "Hello, who is it?"

"Miss Jiang Xinran?" There was a male voice over there, which sounded familiar.

"It's me." Jiang Xinran said.

"Miss Jiang, I'm Mr. Gu's assistant, we met, do you remember?"

Only then did Jiang Xinran remember why the voice sounded familiar, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's like this. Mr. Gu didn't come to the company today, and I couldn't get through to her. I'm worried that something might happen to her. Can I bother you to go to her house to confirm her safety?"

"You said Gu Ruo is missing?" Jiang Xinran sat up straight in an instant, with a serious expression, "Have you called the police? What did the police say?"

"The police said to notify me as soon as there is news..." The assistant's scalp was numb. He didn't expect Jiang Xinran to be so smart. Hearing this, his first reaction was to disappear, so he had to guide Jiang Xinran in the direction he wanted step by step, "Gu The overall security measures are very strict, I am not worried about her disappearance, but I am afraid that something will happen to her alone at home..."

"Then hurry up and visit her house! What are you talking about with me!" Jiang Xinran was in a hurry, no matter whether she was missing or had an accident, her heart was already in suspense.

"Mr. Gu has an order that prohibits us from going to her house." The assistant stammered, "Miss Jiang, can you do me a favor and visit Mr. Gu for me?"

"Okay, I'll go now." Without further ado, Jiang Xinran hung up the phone and immediately went to the team leader to ask for leave.

Liu Qi is a reasonable person. Hearing that Jiang Xinran's friend might have had an accident, she quickly granted her a leave of absence. She didn't forget to ask her to make up the leave when she came tomorrow, or else she would be deducted from her salary based on absenteeism.

Gu Ruo's assistant over there breathed a sigh of relief after picking up the line, thinking, Mr. Gu, I can only help you up to this point, and the rest is up to you.

It turned out that Gu Ruo was indeed ill, but he had sent a message to his assistant early in the morning, and there was no such thing as "missing".

From Jiang Xinran's perspective, Gu Ruo's life and death are unknown.

Her heart was beating violently, and in a panic, she took a taxi directly to Gu Ruo's apartment.

Calling Gu Ruo in the car was a private phone number that only the two of them knew, and I was worried that no one would answer it.

Fortunately, after a few beeps, it was connected, and Gu Ruo's voice was on the other end of the phone, "Ranran?"

It sounded weak and hoarse.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xinran asked impatiently.

"No..." Gu Ruo's denial came to her lips, remembering that she said that she should try to learn to be honest with Jiang Xinran, so she changed her words: "I have a little fever."

"You stupid! Why don't you go to the hospital!"

Gu Ruo hesitated for a moment, then said, "I...I don't want to go to the hospital."

"I'll be there soon, don't forget to open the door for me!" Jiang Xinran hung up the phone, and was relieved to hear that Gu Ruo just had a little fever.

After arriving at Gu Ruo's apartment, Gu Ruo opened the door for her.

The first thing she did when she entered the door was to touch Gu Ruo's forehead.

The temperature was so high that Jiang Xinran shivered.

Jiang Xinran's brain was buzzing, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is this what you said 'a little fever'?"

Gu Ruo's cheeks were flushed, and Jiang Xinran scolded her, so she laughed out loud.

He hugged Jiang Xinran and put all his weight on her thin shoulders.

"As soon as you came, I felt that I was more than half healed."
