2008: Are We Just Going to Wait in the Lounge?

Are We Just Going to Wait in the Lounge?

This was because they were not members of the Level 8 laboratory. They only had the authority to visit the laboratory for a year.2

According to the rules, Cao Yanhua did not introduce Qiao Nian and the others to the other members of the laboratory.

Instead, he told them about the laboratory's composition and introduced which things could be used by them and which things could not be casually taken.

He told them about the places they could enter, what places were secret and the forbidden areas…

After Cao Yanhua took them around briefly, he pointed at the lounge at the side and said to them, "Alright, I'll leave you here. Stay in the lounge today. I'll look for you later. If I have time, I'll show you some experiments."

The lounge he was talking about was actually a pantry. There was a large circular conference table with a few chairs inside. The entire lounge was practical and looked relatively simple. It was probably used for meetings and discussions.

After Cao Yanhua brought them in, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and said to the four of them, "By the way, the mentor isn't around today. You probably won't be able to watch the experiment. You'll have to wait for another day."

Shen Qingfeng, Xue Zhu, and the others were all here for the person in charge of the Level 8 laboratory, Shi Fu. They were disappointed upon hearing that he was not around.

However, Shen Qingfeng was better at dealing with interpersonal relationships. Even though he was disappointed, he still thanked Cao Yanhua politely on the others' behalf.

Cao Yanhua gave them a few more instructions. Then, someone called him from outside, and he hurried away.

They waited for him to walk away.

Xue Zhu leaned on the table and said weakly, "I thought I would be able to see the Deputy Director today. My expectations went down the drain. I'm disappointed."

Shen Qingfeng poured her a glass of water and placed it on the table. He was very calm. "Didn't Senior Brother Cao say that there will be a chance in the future? Don't be anxious."

He also poured a glass of water for Xu Yi and Qiao Nian and pushed it in front of them.

Xu Yi picked up the cup and lowered his head to take a sip. Then, he looked up at Shen Qingfeng with his cold black eyes and asked, "Didn't Senior Brother Cao say what he wanted us to do next?"

Shen Qingfeng was stunned by his question. He shook his head and said hesitantly, "This— I don't think he mentioned it."

"Then we'll just sit here like idiots?" Xu Yi was a little anxious and put down the cup.

Xue Zhu also sat up again with a depressed expression. She added, "They don't care about us? Damn, then we are isolated again. We might as well stay in our own small laboratory. At least there, we still have something to do. We can't do anything here."

They thought that after entering the Level 8 laboratory, they could learn from the person in charge and deputy dean of the First Research Institute. Not to mention registered disciples, they could at least watch from the sidelines.

It was fine if Shi Fu was not around. However, they were only arranged to stay in the lounge and were not even qualified to watch experiments.

This outcome was out of their expectations.

Shen Qingfeng was helpless. He could only comfort her. "Let's wait a little longer. Senior Brother Cao didn't say that they won't arrange anything for us later."

Xu Yi and Xue Zhu already knew what to do.

They did not think that the people from the Level 8 laboratory would entertain them, but they still had fantasies, so the two of them did not say anything else.

The lounge became silent.
