Chemistry
2. One day with an intern from a chemical company (7)
The discussion and preliminary experiments on the new project followed. However, people's attention was drawn to the synthesis work that was going on in the compound cellar throughout.
At the end of the preliminary experiment conducted by the head researcher, I whispered to Jungwoo as if I was worried about Cho Sung-hwan who was sitting next to me.
“Jungwoo doesn't know it yet, but apparently, the project leaders' pride is not a joke. Why don't you apologize in advance before you get mad? ”
“Even if I'm not wrong? ”
The exhaust that I was listening to was ridiculous.
“What kind of genius is Jungwoo? No, how can you look at the formula and think about changing the composition ratio? ”
“I didn't see it. When I copied it, I looked at the meeting materials and did a rough check. ”
“What the hell. ”
I felt so confident about what I believed, and exhausted my tongue.
Choi Seong-hwan, who was worried about the big accident, continued to head toward Jungwoo.
“It's not just you. Shin Yun-seok is also interested in you. Dr. Shin is the most difficult person in the Middle East. If you get to the head researcher, your life in the lab will be ruined. ”
Jungwoo only smiled faintly as if to tell him not to worry. I did not know the outcome, but I was confident it would not be wrong.
‘If you don't have this kind of ability, you'll get fired because you can't act according to the contract anyway. ’
Jungwoo turned his head and met the eyes of Song Bo-young who was sitting on one side. She was also paying attention with her shiny eyes.
"Hmm."
Suddenly, I thought that the person who was most difficult for him might be the woman who seemed to have great interest in Dr. Heaven.
“They're here.”
Choi Seong-hwan raised his head and looked out the center's interior window. As the preliminary experiment was being organized, the conference room door opened wide.
“I brought it.”
A small ice box in the hands of a four-team researcher gives you unnecessary attention. The box was on the table, and the test tube with the brown fine powder appeared.
As if the team leader was waiting, he took a sample of the seasoning with his fingertips. I tasted it right on the tip of my tongue.
“What do you think, Team Leader? Does it taste good?"
Team Leader Jung looked back at Jung Woo, who looked at him subtly.
“Oh, tell me about it. ”
The other responsible researchers rushed to the front table with a crazy face. I hope everyone tastes it and tilts their heads a few times.
“This tastes familiar. ”
“That's right. It's just the spice I've always had. ”
“That's weird, I think the meat would taste good just by sprinkling it. ”
A responsible researcher noticed the team leader and blurred his tail. Another lead researcher who took an existing sample from the ice box and tasted it said, "Eww," and he reached out his tongue and met his team leader.
“Hey, Mr. Jung. It's not that it's not awful. I feel a little bored. ”
“No.”
Chung looked at Jung Woo.
“That's exactly how it feels. ”
“No, you're right. ”
As the results were almost settled, everyone's attention was naturally directed towards Jungwoo, who was sitting among the public bonds.
“Hey, intern. ”
Jungwoo woke up on the call of Team Leader Jung.
“How did you know to fix this? ”
I didn't really have anything to answer this question. I can't give such a prestigious description of the seasoning universe and the black hole to such a high level researcher.
Jungwoo replied with an awkward smile.
“Go. You can feel it, right? ”
Chung became a worthless face. It was a work that had been going on for almost four weeks, so I could see the results as soon as I saw them. Comfortably stimulating the tip of the tongue. This was a specimen of MSG and a magical powder that grew on ramen soup.
“I can't speak because I'm exhausted. How can an intern get a sense of this? ”
In fact, the declaration of defeat surprised nearby researchers.
I saw Jung as admitting that the normal ceremony was.
“I'm going to make a new sample with the chemistry you changed and send it to KG foods. If adopted, I will name the research staff involved in the project. Let's use this to piss me off. ”
“Team Leader Jung. Is that all you got? ”
“Crazy. As soon as I joined. Who put you up to this? ”
As the meeting chair became louder and louder, one of the researchers at the top said.
“Come on. Let's get to work. Let's not get swamped. The meeting's over. ”
“Dr. Kim, I redirected a 30-day team leader to a 30-second study. ”
“What's wrong with you people? That's not why we're working together. And you used to have a PhD in this situation. ”
Shin Yoon-suk stood up among them who were murmuring.
As he makes his way, the researchers who were gathered scatter. I whispered something to him as I assisted Shin Yoon-seok in his journey together.
Shin Yun-Seok, who had walked to nearby Jungwoo, stopped and turned his head.
“Did I say restricted rains? ”
“That's right.”
“You're taking part in a planning evaluation right next week? ”
“That's · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”
Jungwoo's path and eyes met. You smile as you lift your thumb.
“Yes, I participate. ”
“I'm excited.”
Shin Yun-seok tapped Jungwoo's shoulder and walked out.
Jungwoo bows his head as soon as he sees the public bonds bowing.
* * *
Central Lab lunches were much more elegant and relaxed than Jungwoo imagined.
Some researchers manage their health in indoor gyms or squash courts equipped with exercise equipment, and some researchers read books or have teatime in quiet music book cafes.
Of course, Jungwoo did not enjoy lunch as politely as the official researchers, but grabbed the hungry boat and headed to the cafeteria.
I just got out of a job.
‘I think it's more labour than I thought it was going to be. Ow, I'm thirsty. ’
After a weekly meeting, Jungwoo was dragged to his third team leader to look at the rotating reagents in a centrifuge, observing and recording the status every 10 seconds. It was a matter of more perseverance than expertise, so I had to check my eyes thoroughly before I could change.
“Give me a fry. ”
Rice and soup. I turned my eyes to an empty space in the restaurant where the dishes are cooked.
Song Bo-young walked out to the entrance of the cafeteria with a satisfactory smile that said, "Well eaten."
A fun time to make sure there's only half a day's work left. I was walking to the elevator singing a nostril, and my phone rang and reached my ear.
- Boom!
“Yes, sir. ”
- You didn't eat, did you? I found a great place for you to kill spaghetti.
Song Bo-young's voice became annoying.
“I'm on my way out from lunch. ”
- Already?
“It's rice. It'll only take five minutes. ”
- If you eat it that fast, you'll get hungry.
“Sunbae.”
- Sorry. Haha.
Song Bo-young walked down the hall and found a man moving with a plate inside the cafeteria. After the weekly meeting, I was surrounded by senior researchers who were unable to speak.
- You didn't even have brunch this morning. Can I get you a cup of coffee?
“I have some urgent business to attend to. Enjoy your meal! ”
- Hey, Bo-young.
Tsk.
Song Bo-young, who lowered her cell phone, ran to the entrance of the cafeteria.
Jungwoo tasted a spoon of miso sauce, then nodded with a satisfied face.
The university's cafeteria offers unparalleled elegance. It felt like a luxurious cultural space.
"Isn't lunch like this every day? ’
When I smiled because I didn't even need to worry about choosing the menu, I placed a plate in front of Jungwoo.
“Were you eating alone? ”
Jungwoo lifted his head and found Song Bo-young sitting on the other side and became wary.
“Why are you so surprised? ”
“No, sir. ”
“Don't get me wrong. I was just alone with the parachute. Dinner is better when you eat it together. ”
Song Bo-young lifted her spoon with a smile. She puts a handful of rice in her mouth with a determined face, and she does not lose her lively smile as she looks at Jungwoo.
"Awkward. Very awkward. ’
It's not like there are public bonds, sitting face to face, eating alone. Her insistence is clear. Just like in the morning, Jungwoo was busy making fun of the gospel to get up after eating.
“Hey · · ·”
I think it's different. Song Bo-young caught a glimpse of it and jumped. Jung opened his mouth before getting into trouble.
“Sunbae.”
“· · Dr.Cheon, huh? What?”
Song Bo-young quickly blinked her eyes after missing the timing of the surprise call.
“Why do you want to study with Dr. Shen so badly? ”
Jungwoo saw Song Bo-young with the eyes of 'Let's hear it for any reason.'
“Is that what you're asking? If there is a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in Korea, it must be Dr. Shen. ”
The Nobel Prize, I didn't realize it was because I mentioned a word in a world so far away.
“You know you can win up to three co-researchers at the time of the award? ”
“Now I know. ”
Song Bo-young became excited when the story of the kingdom of heaven came out.
“Some of Dr. Thousand's papers remain a mystery in the German chemistry. ”
“Mystery?”
“There are more academics who don't understand the theory itself. But I read it all. I think I'm the only one in the country. ”
Song Bo-young shrugged her shoulders and said.
“Some of them understood the principle. ”
“You're amazing.”
Song Bo-young smiles in praise of Jungwoo. Meanwhile, Jungwoo put the remaining fries in his mouth and quickly murmured.
No, thank you.
I was roughly right to let Song Bo-young talk alone. Jungwoo, who thought he could just say goodbye and stay away, looked at her who was beating her breasts in a bad way.
“Are you uncomfortable? ”
“Yes? Not at all. ”
After answering, Song Bo-young, who was nauseous, seemed to be in a state just before pretending something.
“The restaurant food doesn't suit you. ”
“No? I, too, love this restaurant. We ate together a lot. ”
“I see.”
Song Bo-young is forcibly picking up rice.
“If you don't like the taste, you don't need to eat it all. ”
Jungwoo stopped talking. Song Bo-young's lips began to look enlarged at the moment like a microscope.
"What's the matter with you? ’
There was no special chemical reaction. A similar type of debris appeared at the weekly meeting because it saw a lot of food additive constellations.
“It's lenthionine.”
“What?”
“It's buried in your mouth. ”
Song Bo-young's eyes widened.
“You can bury it while you eat! ”
Song Bo-young, who lifted up her napkin and wiped her mouth, raised her eyebrows as if nothing had come out.
“Are you kidding me right now? ”
“That's odd. Lenthionin smells like shiitake mushrooms, but I don't have any of that for your side dishes. ”
Song Bo-young, who was stabbed, flinched.
