Watson Biopharmaceuticals.
Luca sat in her office, handling a pile of documents.
She could feel her head throbbing when she was going through the documents after conductingnumerous experiments.novelbin
Luca picked up the landline on her desk and dialed her assistant's number. "Ms. Stone, please come tomy office."
"Alright, Dr. Craw," replied Mo Stone. She hung up the phone and headed to Luca's office.
She knocked on Luca's office door.
"Come in."
Mo Stone pushed the door open and politely asked, "Dr. Craw, what can I do for you?"
"These documents have been sorted out. Help me take them out and make two copies of each. I needto deliver them to T Corporation," Luca pointed at the files in front of her.
Since Watson Pharmaceuticals did not have a general manager at the moment, all the importantdocuments had to be reviewed by Luke himself.
After Luca finished preparing the budget report for the research funding application, she also had tohand it to Luke and wait for his approval.
"Alright, Dr. Craw. I'll take care of it right away," replied Mo Stone as she displayed a diligent andresponsible work attitude. She picked up the documents, returned to the assistant's office, and beganphotocopying the documents.
Inside the assistant's office, Rhett was also busy with his work. There were a few professors' assistantsthere too.
"Are these Dr. Craw's documents?" asked Rhett. Luca was the only one in the entire office who had apile of documents to be copied.
There were many tedious paperwork tasks for her to deal with before the start of a new project.
"Yes, they're all Dr. Craw's. Is it for the research funding application?" Mo Stone glanced at thecontents of the documents and made a guess.
Dr. Jackson's assistant could not help but speak in an envious tone, "Dr. Craw is truly amazing. Shefinished one project so quickly and barely took a break, yet now she's starting another researchproject."
"Rhett, you're lucky to be working with Dr. Craw. But I guess you're also really busy, huh?" Dr.Linwood's assistant went along and teased him.
"It's all work. It's not like what you said." Rhett did not answer their questions.
"How much research funding is Dr. Craw applying this time?" asked Dr. Jackson's assistant.
Rhett remained silent.
Mo Stone knew the amount, but she did not answer either.
Dr. Jackson's assistant eventually turned to Mo Stone and asked, "Ms. Stone?"
"That should be kept within Dr. Craw's research team. Why? Are you thinking of moving to anotherteam?" Mo Stone did not answer his question. Everyone was highly sensitive to this now after whathappened to the general manager.
Even though it was not classified information, Mo Stone knew Luca's leadership style prioritizedconfidentiality. She did not want to risk losing her job. That was why she avoided mentioning it.
"Haha, look at what you're saying. Can I switch teams even if I want to? I don't have the qualificationsor experience to be a researcher," Dr. Jackson's assistant laughed awkwardly.
In this field, they were only eligible to become researchers once they had enough experience.
Fresh graduates like them who had just started the job could only be research professors' assistants.They had no choice but to do some grunt work under the professors' guidance.
Who would want to be an assistant if they could be a researcher?
Being an assistant meant low wages and a heavy workload. Although they could participate inexperiments, their involvement was limited to peripheral tasks. If the professor was kind enough, theymight get some guidance. If it was the other way around, they would have to figure things out on theirown while dealing with a pile of paperwork.
Assistants like Rhett, who worked closely with Luca in the laboratory and were responsible for manyresearch tasks, were rare.
Everyone envied Rhett for having a competent and good-tempered boss who delegated research workto assistants.
If Rhett were to resign, they would definitely apply for a transfer immediately.
However, Rhett had no such plans, so how could they get the chance? The company only allocatedone assistant to each research professor.
There was no way they could compete with him.
"So, are you still curious about Dr. Craw's research? Wait until she finalizes everything and it'll berevealed in the next meeting.” Mo Stone dropped a hint, implying that it was not something he shouldbe curious about.
Although it was not classified information, curiosity could kill the cat.
Deep down, Rhett agreed with Mo Stone. These people had nothing better to do.
Dr. Linwood's assistant immediately stood up and headed toward the office entrance. "I need toprepare research records for Dr. Linwood."
Dr. Jackson's research team member wore a slightly awkward expression and changed the subject."Have you heard that the company plans to hire another research professor?"
Mo Stone paused for a moment. She knew about this.
However, it was not decided yet.
She felt that the difference between having one more or one fewer research professor would not bringa significant impact on Watson Biopharmaceuticals. It was similar to whether the position of generalmanager was filled or vacant. It did not have much impact.
The department leaders appointed by Luke, whether it was Jason or someone else, were sittingsecurely in their respective positions. No one dared to make trouble.
Regardless of Luke or any other general manager, the subordinates continued to handle the company'saffairs day in and day out.
Now, there were rumors that the company would be hiring a new research professor.
There was news of a new general manager not long ago too!
It seemed that actions were being taken, but the candidates who applied did not meet Luke'sexpectations. That was why the general manager's position remained vacant.
"Why aren't you talking?" Mo Stone, Rhett, and Dr. Jackson's assistant were the only ones in the office.None of them spoke, so Dr. Jackson's assistant found it boring.
"I heard about it. Are you planning to switch teams if they hire a new research professor?" asked MoStone.
"Why do you keep asking me if I'm switching teams? I'm doing fine here with Dr. Jackson," Dr.Jackson's assistant frowned. Dr. Jackson was currently the head of the department. Even though theofficial appointment had not been made yet, it was only a matter of time.
What was the point of leaving someone who was in charge for someone new?
"Why are you so curious since you're not switching teams?" Mo Stone placed the copied documentsinto their respective folders.
"It just feels a bit boring here. I just thought I'd find something to talk about," Dr. Jackson's assistantreplied awkwardly.
There was more activity and communication among colleagues in the other offices.
Their assistant's office, on the other hand, was usually quiet.
Occasional exchanges were work-related, and they did not spend much time in the office. Their jobwas to assist the research professors with document processing whenever they were in the office.
Dr. Jackson's assistant was in the office today because Dr. Jackson had gone back to the university fora meeting. There was not much for him to do in the laboratory.
The other researchers also found him a hindrance when he tried to help. He had no choice but to stayin the office.
"We're busy," said Mo Stone, finally finishing the task of making duplicate copies of the documents asrequested. Then, she left with the documents in her arms.
Dr. Jackson's assistant rubbed his nose and shifted his gaze to Rhett.
"Mr. Link?" He gently called out his name.
"Yes?" Rhett did not look up.
"Do you think Dr. Craw is easy to get along with?" asked Dr. Jackson's assistant.
"Yes," Rhett continued to work on the documents. The way he spoke gave the impression of a lack ofgenuine effort.
