Matysh watched Ethan leave hurriedly from behind with a gloomy expression on his face.
If he managed to get out of here, he would definitely leverage the power of his family and
bring the Crawford family to utter ruins!
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
conducting numerous experiments.
Luca picked up the landline on her desk and dialed her assistant's number. "Ms. Stone,
please come to my 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 need to 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
important documents had to be reviewed by Luke himself.
After Luca finished preparing the budget report for the research funding application, she
also had to hand 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 and responsible work attitude. She picked up the documents, returned to the
assistant's office, and began photocopying the documents.
Inside the assistant's office, Rhett was also busy with his work. There were a few
professors' assistants there too.
"Are these Dr. Craw's documents?" asked Rhett. Luca was the only one in the entire office
who had a pile of documents to be copied.
There were many tedious paperwork tasks for her to deal with before the start of a new
project.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes, they're all Dr. Craw's. Is it for the research funding application?" Mo Stone glanced at
the contents 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. She finished one project so quickly and barely took a break, yet now she's
starting another research project."
"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
another team?" Mo Stone did not answer his question. Everyone was highly sensitive to
this now after what happened to the general manager.
Even though it was not classified information, Mo Stone knew Luca's leadership style
prioritized confidentiality. 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
qualifications or 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 in experiments, their involvement was limited to peripheral tasks. If the
professor was kind enough, they might get some guidance. If it was the other way around,
they would have to figure things out on their own while dealing with a pile of paperwork.
Assistants like Rhett, who worked closely with Luca in the laboratory and were responsible
for many research tasks, were rare.
Everyone envied Rhett for having a competent and good-tempered boss who delegated
research work to 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
allocated one 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 be revealed in the next meeting.” Mo Stone dropped a hint, implying that it was not
something he should be 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 to prepare 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 bring a significant impact on Watson Biopharmaceuticals. It was similar to
whether the position of general manager was filled or vacant. It did not have much
impact.
The department leaders appointed by Luke, whether it was Jason or someone else, were
sitting securely 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's affairs day in and day out.
Now, there were rumors that the company would be hiring a new research professor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere 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's expectations. 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 Mo Stone.
"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 the official 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
documents into their respective folders.
"It just feels a bit boring here. I just thought I'd find something to talk about," Dr. Jackson's
assistant replied 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 job was 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 for a 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 stay in the office.
"We're busy," said Mo Stone, finally finishing the task of making duplicate copies of the
documents as requested. 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 of genuine effort.
