C1 The Lapis Lazuli Phoenix Spread out

Traffic, neon.

After a heavy rain, it was still drizzling in the sky. The tall buildings in the distance were covered by a layer of smoke, so it was hard to see them clearly.

The building of the Academy of Sciences was located next to the People's Square in the center of the city. It was very eye-catching.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xun Qianxia hurriedly walked to the gate of the Academy of Science in her black velvet professional high heels.

It was October, but the cold air had arrived a little early, causing Xun Qianxia, who was afraid of the cold stars, to drag out her long sweater that had been dusty for almost a year the moment she woke up.

She put on a light purple sweater that was gentle, elegant, and decent. Due to the time constraint, she found a beige cotton vest and put it on.

Walking in the misty world, Xun Qianxia looked peaceful.

After entering the Academy of Science, many colleagues were already at work.

After everyone politely greeted her, Xun Qianxia jogged to the elevator that was about to leave.

After squeezing in and exchanging a few polite greetings with her colleagues, the elevator stopped on the tenth floor.

Three years after graduating from university, Xun Qianxia relied on her own strength to enter the provincial Agricultural Research Institute, which was heavily nurtured by the state.

Due to her young age, she was called a genius scientist.

His colleagues were either graduates of famous universities or super-geniuses. Those who were selected to enter the research institute were mostly top students.

Xun Qianxia kept a low profile, but she still couldn't hide her excellence.

Looking at the glass office in front of her, Xun Qianxia paused, and her thoughts drifted back to three years ago when she had just graduated from university.

At that time, she was a top student, and she could be considered an influential figure in the school. After graduation, she was smoothly hired to enter the research institute. It could be said that her life was smooth and without any obstacles.

However, Xun Qianxia's life in the research institute did not go her way.

As a talent base that the country focused on nurturing, all the scientists in the research institute who were called geniuses carried the mission of the country's future, and even the future development of mankind.

It was this burden that made Xun Qianxia's life boring.

The boyfriend she had dated in university for two years had caused their relationship to grow further and further apart during the three years she had been in the research institute.

So much so that Xun Qianxia didn't even know when he cheated.

When Xun Qianxia accidentally bumped into the two of them on the bed, she realized that she had been cheated on for three years.

Xun Qianxia yawned and stopped thinking.

She sighed and pushed open the glass door in front of her.

When she entered, she found that there were a lot of people sitting in the office.

Everyone looked up at Xun Qianxia. All of them had bitter expressions, and their bodies were pale with anger.

Shocked, Xun Qianxia found her desk and sat down. As the director of the research division, she spoke.

"This forestry expedition has been ordered by the provincial authorities, and has been postponed as much as possible in the past, but this time it is different, so hurry up and make a list of the candidates. We can't wait any longer!"

Hearing this, the people who were sitting began to resist in a low voice, as if they were very dissatisfied with the mission of this field trip.

Even Xun Qianxia had a smile on her face, but in her heart, she stubbornly resisted and complained.

The field trip was a great opportunity for the scientific research department to send people to the wilderness to get close to nature, but it was just a casual statement.

Everyone knew that the field trip not only required a lot of energy and energy, but also the harsh and desolate environment was unbearable for everyone.

When the leader of nature spoke, those who had experienced it all protested.

"Since no one is willing to go, why don't we divide the people according to the usual attendance?"

It wasn't just someone's voice that suddenly became louder. The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Everybody looked at each other and agreed that it was a good idea.

However, when everyone's gaze fell on Xun Qianxia alone, she was already disheartened.

These guys!

"Group Leader Xun has always been tired from work. Why don't you leave this opportunity for Group Leader Xun so that you can go out and relax?"

Xun Qianxia was shocked. In her heart, she had already asked about his eight generations of ancestors.

She smiled and said, "I love my job. I am willing to devote my youth to scientific research. It is my duty to keep my post."

"Don't say that, Captain Xun. You are making it sound like we don't love work!"

Then another man said, "Captain Xun, you have been the last in attendance for the past two months. If you say that again, it will make things difficult for all of us."

Hearing this, Xun Qianxia threw the folder in her hand on the table in front of her, stood up, and said, "Although I'm late, my workload is the most of all of them. So what if I'm a few minutes late in the morning? If you have the ability, let's compete to see who gets off work last at night! "

As soon as he said that, everyone shut up.

Xun Qianxia was furious. Although the dean was present, she still turned around and slammed the door before leaving the office.

Usually, she would endure step by step and smile amiably, but now she was nothing more than this.

In the afternoon, the results came out very quickly. Xun Qianxia still couldn't escape death.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when she came out of the leader's office with the assignment book for the low-level inspection.

Xun Qianxia wanted to work overtime, but she didn't feel like it, so she skipped work and went home.

The sunset outside the window dyed the sky red, like blood.

Xun Qianxia closed the curtains, packed her luggage, and fell heavily onto the bed.

She didn't sleep all night.

The next day, she left the house an hour early and went straight to the train station. In less than an hour, she was already on the road to the western suburbs.

Xun Qianxia stayed on the train for the whole day. At night, she was very hungry, so she bought a bowl of instant noodles.

There was no more boiling water in the carriage, so she had no choice but to go to the next carriage to get more.

When the boiling water softened the hard bread, the entire train suddenly shook violently.

The boiling water scalded Xun Qianxia's wrist. In her anxiety, she immediately threw away the bowl of instant noodles in her hand and lost her balance, falling straight to the side.

The moment her head hit the iron bed, Xun Qianxia felt dizzy.

In the haze, the people in the carriage seemed to panic, and a strong and pungent smell of burning wafted from the tip of their noses.

Xun Qianxia's head became more and more dizzy, and her consciousness slowly faded.

"Stupid thing! You're still dilly-dallying after eating. Usually, you're crazy and your body is very strong. Why are you so delicate today?!"

There were three or four old maids and five or six young maids waiting beside her.

"Madam, the second young lady, Xun Lingwei, only lightly pushed her. She is so weak."

The old woman next to him went up to flatter him, and continued: "She must have heard Master's return. She may have been a fool for sixteen years;"

The Minister's Mansion had a wife in charge, and the other concubines were suppressed to the point that they didn't even dare to fart loudly.

The obese woman in front of him was the domineering Minister's Mansion's Madam Chen Wanrong, who was close to forty years old and still maintained herself well.

"Is that so?"

Chen Wanrong glanced sideways at the wet young miss of the Minister's Mansion who had just woken up on the bed, her face full of disdain and disgust.

"I never thought that this little hoof was actually a person who hid her true strength. It seems like I have underestimated her!"

After saying that, Chen Wanrong reached out her hand and pinched her temple.

He instructed: "Since Master has returned, why don't you hurry up and wash this little hoof? Otherwise, Master will blame me again."

The old nannies got the order and rushed forward to grab the clothes of the weak woman lying on the bed.

"What are you doing?"

Xun Qianxia woke up with a sore body. The moment she woke up, she saw a few old ladies with fierce expressions on their faces, pulling at her clothes with ill intentions.

She instinctively wanted to resist, but her body was extremely weak and wouldn't listen to her commands, so she could only vent the anger in her heart.

Chen Wanrong was shocked. She frowned and walked forward, slapping Xun Qianxia without hesitation.

She said angrily: "Shut up! If Master hears this, I will let you have a good time in the Minister's Mansion in the future!"

Very quickly, Xun Qianxia's clothes were stripped off, and she was immediately dressed in a long, clear-colored dress. She was also casually and simply washed up.

Her scalp was in pain from being pulled. After a while, Xun Qianxia felt her body gradually recover its strength.

At this moment, everyone in the room quieted down. They turned around and saw a man outside the door.

The man looked like he was in his fifties, but he was quite imposing.

"What is going on? Why is it so chaotic every day?"

"Master."

Chen Wanrong acted as if she had just seen this person, and coquettishly walked forward to hold the man's arm.

As she spoke, her eyes turned red, "Although Jiao'er likes to play around a little, her heart is still good, but she can't let others bully her for no reason!"
