Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1294
Chapter 1294: No One Else Was Joining
Huo Yao sat up straight with her hands on her knees. After chatting briefly, she looked at Prof Zhao’s face and asked. “Have you been burning the midnight oil recently?”
“Is it that obvious?” Zhao Lian touched his face.
“Staying up late is bad for your organs. Didn’t I tell you to go to the hospital for a physical examination? I bet you didn’t go, right?” said Huo Yao as she raised her brow.
Zhao Lian recalled her saying this. He smiled and said, “I’m perfectly fine.”
“I mean it. It won’t take a lot of time.” Huo Yao was insistent about it and sounded very serious.
Zhao Lian knew that the young woman meant well, so he nodded. “Fine. I will make time for it.”
Ever since the National Academy of Medicine encountered a break-in and lost all its archives, he had been very busy.
He had to help in redoing the archives.
Since Zhao Lian was finally taking her seriously, Huo Yao did not continue with the subject. She made a mental note to make some medicine for him.

Huo Yao went over to the laboratory after school in the afternoon.
When she got to the laboratory, she saw Dai Jie, and the others in there looking annoyed.
Huo Yao put down her bag and looked at them quizzically. “What’s wrong?”
Dai Jie adjusted his spectacles and said, “I heard that more people are joining our research project.”
“The new joiners are all Mr. Qi’s students,” said Wang Jing annoyingly.
“I can’t believe how shameless they are. Now that we have shown some results, they desperately want to add more people to our team. They clearly want to steal the credit from us.” Tang Jun was no longer in the mood to continue coding and looked very depressed.
Huo Yao did not expect them to know about it already. As she turned on the computer, she said, “Don’t worry. No one else will be joining our team.”
Wang Jing looked at her. “What makes you so sure?”
Huo Yao tilted her head sideways. Her white turtleneck sweater brought out her flawless complexion. She blinked and replied nonchalantly. “I will stop working on the project if they do.”
Wang Jing’s lips twitched. Huo Yao was unable to make her feel better.
Huo Yao raised her brow and added. “I’m not joking. I won’t let anyone else join the research team.”
Even if Prof Zhao could not stop them, she would figure out something.
She was capable of coming up with this system, so she could destroy it just as easily. Even if they wanted to steal the credit, they should have thought twice about picking on them.
Everyone suddenly felt better when they heard what Huo Yao said.
None of them wanted random people to be stuffed into their team halfway through the research project.
Even though they were all older than Huo Yao, they had unknowingly treated Huo Yao as their leader. They believed every word she said.
After calming down, everyone continued working.
…
Before long, Yuan Huan came over to the laboratory as well.
When Huo Yao saw Yuan Huan, she suddenly recalled Min Yu mentioning the archives that the National Academy of Medicine had lost on the day Huo Yulin broke in.
When Huo Yulin broke into the institute and fought Yuan Huan, she could tell that Yuan Huan had been trained to fight.
He was a proficient fighter and he also knew the details of the National Academy of Medicine very well. He could probably have taken the archives effortlessly.
Huo Yao mulled over it.
