The three were talking when Qi Yangyang, holding a sighting scope, looked like he was making an oath.
"Bang," a sound rang out from the front of the villa.
The noise at the door caught the attention of the three people in the house.
Qin He and Qi Zhen and Qi Yang simultaneously turned their heads.
A man in a gray suit stood at the door. He looked around thirty years old, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and stared at the scene inside the house with a dumbfounded expression.
"Um—is this Professor Harlana's laboratory?" the man's voice trembled slightly.
Qin He immediately got up and walked over with a smile.
"Hello, I am Professor Harlana's assistant, Little Qin. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm here for an interview. My name is Wang Jiming." The man glanced nervously at the people inside the room.
He recognized the latest precision high-end medical equipment filling the room. In a normal research institute, this place would have been paradise to him.
But now, the two burly men standing in front of the medical equipment were also quite eye-catching!
Especially one of them, who was holding a dangerous weapon that could only be seen on television!
Despite the "temptation" of the equipment filling the room, Wang Jiming forced himself to suppress the urge to turn and flee.
Good heavens, had he been tricked into a pyramid scheme or something?
Wang Jiming looked at Qin He. This self-proclaimed assistant to Professor Harlana was quite delicate, but she seemed rather young. He wasn't sure if she actually had any real skills.
"Mr. Wang, shall we begin the interview?" Qin He smiled.
Wang Jiming's eyes widened: "You're interviewing me?"
"Yes, Mr. Wang, do you think I'm not capable?" Qin He asked.
Wang Jiming pursed his lips, a feeling of disrespect rising within him. But seeing the two people behind the young girl grinning menacingly at him in a "friendly" manner, he suppressed it.
Qin He's interview was relatively simple, as she hadn't intended to set up a large-scale medical research laboratory.
She already knew what research achievements the applicants had.
Her goal for today's interview was to test their values and humanity.
"Mr. Wang, here is an interview questionnaire. Please complete it first."
Wang Jiming took the questionnaire, intending to use his expertise to impress and take charge.
The first question.
Wang Jiming pondered for a while, then looked up at Qin He: "Is there an error in the question?"
Qin He smiled sweetly: "No."
"If God gave you a pet, would you choose a talking dog or a flying cat?"
Qin He confirmed again.
Wang Jiming felt somewhat dejected. He had already concluded that Professor Harlana had probably tricked him into coming here for fun.
When Wang Jiming had completed half of his test.
Another "bang" sounded.
Qin He turned towards the door. A middle-aged man carrying a briefcase was staring at Qi Zhen and Qi Yang.
Qi Zhen and Qi Yang, adhering to Qin He's instructions to be friendly, offered bright smiles to the newcomer.
"Hello." Qin He stood up and greeted him.
The interview was scheduled for nine in the morning, and people usually arrived early rather than late.
By the time Wang Jiming finished his test, the other three applicants had also arrived.
The three of them huddled nervously on a row of sofas, filling out their tests.
Qin He looked at the man sitting on the edge. According to his file, he was twenty-four years old.
He was considered a prodigy in the medical field, having gained fame in recent years.
However, like her, he had a face that looked somewhat childish, making him appear like a teenager from his appearance alone.
"Gao Lang?"
Gao Lang, who was doing his test, looked up at Qin He: "Yes, Assistant Qin?"
"Nothing," Qin He smiled.
She held Wang Jiming's test paper. As she had expected, his performance met the standard.
After all four tests were completed.
Qin He sat in front of the four applicants: "As you can all see, this is Professor Harlana's laboratory. We've previously informed you of the requirements. During the research period, you will need to eat and live here. As for salary and benefits, they will be on par with world-class medical research institutions."
Gao Lang raised his hand as if he were a student.
Qin He smiled: "Please go ahead."
"I would like to ask, does this research restrict personal freedom?" Gao Lang's gaze drifted to Qi Zhen and Qi Yang beside him. "For example, are we not allowed to leave until research results are achieved?"
Qin He raised her eyebrows slightly: "You are aware of the direction of this research. If we are not allowed to leave until results are achieved, and we end up spending years here, that is clearly not realistic."
Wang Jiming pointed weakly at the two men: "Then them?"
Qin He smiled: "These two are responsible for your safety. After all, there are many valuable instruments in the research institute, and you are all elites in the medical field. You can think of them as bodyguards."
Gao Lang immediately relaxed: "That's good!"
After the interviews were concluded one by one.
Based on her previous investigations and the current tests, Qin He began distributing files to the four applicants.
"Wang Jiming, 31 years old; Gao Lang, 24 years old; Li Fengrui, 35 years old."
Qin He looked at the last person: "Zhao Yongfu, 57 years old. Can you handle such a high-intensity research workload?"
Zhao Yongfu had a reputation in medical research, but he had always been conservative and cautious in his research. Qin He had chosen him partly for this reason.
However, she had not expected Zhao Yongfu to look almost sixty years old, with dark skin and a somewhat gaunt appearance.
"I have no problem! If it comes down to a critical moment, I can stay up for three days and three nights without any issues!" Zhao Yongfu clenched his fist.
"That's good. Please take a look at the materials. They contain the key points written by Professor Harlana, the research direction, and some of his ideas. Qin He said with a smile. "If you need any assistance, Dean Shen from Qingcheng First Hospital can also visit regularly, or if we are short of any testing supplies, you can also contact Dean Shen directly."
Zhao Yongfu looked somewhat eager. After Qin He finished speaking, he said, "Only the guidance materials from Professor Harlana? I thought I would get to see the professor in person."
Qin He smiled.
Her identity had always been kept confidential. Currently, only those closest to her knew.
These four people were new acquaintances, and she did not intend to reveal her identity. After all, not revealing it would not hinder the research.
After arranging their work and giving instructions to Qi Zhen and Qi Yang, Qin He drove away from the research institute.
As Qin He drove, she called Liu Xing'an.
"Master, are you at the United Department? I'll come to see you."
Liu Xing'an's voice was lively: "No, I just moved. I'm still unpacking."
"You moved to a Siheyuan?" Qin He became interested. "Then I'll come over and see your courtyard."
