He took out a menthol cigarette from his desk drawer, walked to the smoking area in the corridor, and took a few puffs before calming down.
There was a time when she didn't smoke at all.
Even the smell of cigarette smoke makes me want to vomit.
But in recent years, I have relied on cigarettes to calm my mind and numb my spirit.
She smoked a cigarette to the end, then took out the silent mobile phone in her work robe. When she looked at it, she saw that Han Fei had made several calls.
Her eyes flickered, knowing what was going on, and she called back expressionlessly::
"Assistant Han, have you called me? I didn't call you at work just now. I'm sorry."
"It's okay," Han Fei said politely, "Professor Liu's funeral is over, and there's nothing going on here. When does Dr. Gu want to go back to North America, tell me in advance and I'll book a flight for you."
Gu Qingruo raised her cold lips lightly: "Did the Second Master ask you to call me to urge me to leave?"
Han Fei didn't say it too directly: "Second Master just thinks that Dr. Gu has been working too hard recently. He doesn't want you to work too hard and wants you to go back and have a good rest."
"I'm not working hard." Gu Qingruo said calmly: "I don't plan to leave so soon. Although the teacher's funeral is over, I still want to stay in the laboratory here for a while to develop the instrument at hand."
Han Fei guessed that she would use this excuse and immediately said: "Second Master said that a research laboratory has also been established in North America. Dr. Gu can study it slowly after he returns."
Gu Qingruo smiled: "This new medical instrument involves the reorganization of brain memory. It is the result left by the teacher. Once developed successfully, it will be of great benefit to Er Ye's memory recovery. I am here in Tancheng
The research lab is already halfway through its research and development, and it would not be good if it suddenly shuts down. Assistant Han, why don't you go tell the second master and see if you want me to go back first?"
When Han Fei heard this, he took a breath and could only say: "Okay. Then I'll talk to the second master first."
…
Huo Group.
Han Fei hung up the phone and entered the chairman's office.
Huo Shenxiu was immersed in processing a document without even raising his head:
"Have you contacted Dr. Gu?"
"Just called."
"Let her return to North America as soon as possible."
"I told you, but Dr. Gu said that he wants to stay in Tancheng to develop the medical equipment he has on hand before leaving."
Huo Shenxiu was quite impatient: "There is also a research laboratory in North America. She can go back and slowly develop it. Didn't you tell her?"
"I said it, but Dr. Gu said that the medical equipment she is currently developing is about brain memory reorganization. It is related to your memory recovery and cannot be easily disconnected."
Huo Shenxiu raised his head and said nothing for a while.
Han Fei quietly waited for the second master's reply.
In the past few years, Erye has established a research laboratory on brain diseases, with the sole purpose of finding ways to restore memory.
Now that I have seen hope, I will not give up easily.
As expected, Huo Shenxiu pondered for a while and finally said:
"Then let her stay in Tancheng for the time being."

A few days later.
Su Mi took Xiao Subao to the airport in the morning and saw off Yuan Yi.
The drama has finished filming, and Yuan Yi is returning to Country M.
After seeing each other off, the mother and son walked out of the airport when their cell phones rang.
Su Mi picked it up and found a message from the little girl named Weiwei in the research room:
[Sister Su Mi, today is the weekend, do you have time to come over and play? We miss you so much.]
After going to the laboratory for the first time, Su Mi had time to go there again and brought many gifts to the children.
At that time, he also gave his cell phone number to the children.
She turned her head and asked little Su Bao: "Su Bao, didn't mom say that I met a few brothers and sisters before? I have nothing to do today anyway, do you want to go see them?"
Xiao Subao was so crazy that she agreed immediately as soon as she saw that she could make new friends.
Su Mi bought some snacks and toys that children love, and drove Xiao Subao quickly to the research laboratory in the suburbs.
Assistant Shao had been greeted by Huo Shenxiu before, so he welcomed the mother and son in and called the children out.
The weather was nice today, so we simply led a group of people, big and small, into the small garden at the back.
When a group of children saw Su Mi coming, they jumped up happily and held on to her:
"Sister Su Mi is here!"
"Who is this little brother? He looks so cute."
Xiao Subao's self-introduction is always simple and rude: "I am Xiao Subao, Mom's goose. Nice to meet you."
Su Mi asked Xiao Subao to distribute snacks and toys to her brothers and sisters.
The little Subao immediately started to divide it.
After sharing, we got to mingle with a group of children.
Xiao Subao had been seriously ill herself and fully understood the mood of a group of children. While playing with toys, she comforted her from time to time:
"Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, you will be cured. Look at me, I was sick before, isn't it fine now?"
Su Mi saw a group of little guys chattering, chatting and being in a good mood. It seemed that it was time to bring the little Subao.
Time flies so fast with the kids.
Before I knew it, two hours had passed.
The sound of wheels came from the front yard.
It broke the unique silence of the laboratory.
If a car were coming from somewhere else, it would not attract her attention at all.
However, she knew that no one would come to this place.
Apart from……
She let Xiao Subao play with a group of children, then walked around to the front yard. The car had stopped outside the iron gate of the research room, and the people in the car had obviously already entered.
It's Huo Shenxiu's car.
Huo Shenxiu is here.
Her expression changed.
Assistant Shao saw her coming and hurried over: "Is there something wrong with Miss Su?"
Su Mi calmed down and glanced at the building: "Is Dr. Gu in the research room?"
Assistant Shao nodded: "Yes. After Professor Liu's funeral, Dr. Gu has been doing research in the laboratory and has rarely gone out."
She paused.
Professor Liu's funeral had been over for several days, and she thought Gu Qingruo had left Tancheng and returned to North America.
It turns out...it's still in the research room.
It's normal for Huo Shenxiu to come over occasionally to check on the research progress. After all, this is where he invests.
Seeing that she was silent, Assistant Shao asked, "Miss Su, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I thought Dr. Gu had returned to North America, so I didn't say hello to her when I came in. It's rude. How about I go in and say hello to her."
Assistant Shao nodded: "I'll take you in. Doctor Gu is still in Room 1."
"I'll just go in by myself. Assistant Shao will help me look after the little ones first."
With that said, Su Mi walked towards the building.
Along the corridor, she quickly arrived at the door of Studio No. 1 where she had been last time.
The door is ajar, but not tightly closed.
She walked over and was about to knock on the door when she heard a rustling sound coming from inside.
