1932 Team 10 Is Always at the Bottom
However, Xue Zhu said to him, “Xu Yi, we’ve all been ostracized, anyway. Even if you don’t want this newcomer to join our team, we’ll still be ostracized. Since none of us entered the research institute through traditional means, why should we discriminate against each other? I think she’s not bad. It’s been so long and no one chose her, but she’s not anxious. She can keep her composure and conduct experiments… We’re last every time we conduct experiments. Our situation is already so bad. I don’t care if it worsens.
“Let’s give it a try!”
This last was the point she wanted to make.
Shen Qingfeng and Xue Zhu both agreed to let the newcomer in. The minority obeyed the majority, so he had no objections. He just reminded the two of them, “I heard that the few people in charge of the laboratory don’t like Qiao Nian. Ji Ziyin will definitely suppress her later on. You insisted on pulling her into the team. Don’t blame me for not reminding you if you’re implicated by her in the future.”
Shen Qingfeng smiled and patted his shoulder. “Then it’s decided!”

“All the teams are not short of people?”
Seeing that twenty minutes had passed, the teacher who had brought Qiao Nian in was really anxious. She asked again loudly.
“You have to be proactive if you lack people. Don’t be embarrassed…”
In response, silence filled the laboratory.
No one was willing to offend Ji Ziyin for a newcomer, so no one was willing to step forward. It was useless no matter how much the teacher encouraged them.
Everyone looked at the newcomer king with sympathy… This was how the First Research Institute was. She had no background or backing. No matter how outstanding she was or how much potential she had, no one was willing to give her a chance.
“Qiao Nian…” The teacher had already given up. She turned to look at the girl apologetically and said hesitantly, “I think we’ll forget about it today. I’ll help you ask when we get back and see if I can assign you to a group.”
The final outcome of such a forceful decision would not be good, but she couldn’t think of a better way now.
The girl stood rooted to the ground calmly. Only at this moment did she press down on her baseball cap. Her fair fingertips were exceptionally beautiful.
Her eyes were as beautiful as a painting. There was no trace of disappointment or embarrassment in her bright eyes. There was only calmness.
“There’s no need, Teacher. I can be alone…”
She was about to say that she didn’t need to join a team.
At this moment, someone in the large laboratory interrupted. “Teacher, our team is short of people.”
The teacher seemed to be looking at a straw to clutch at. She didn’t hear what the girl wanted to say clearly and immediately looked over.
Upon seeing who had raised her hand, the anticipation in her eyes instantly dimmed, and her expression became complicated. “Um, is your team short of people?”
It was Shen Qingfeng who raised his hand.
They laughed upon seeing that it was Shen Qingfeng and his team.
Group 10.
Everyone knew that Group 10 was known as the Group of Death. They would always be at the bottom. They had no future.
Anyone with some connections and ability was unwilling to enter Group 10, because if they did, it would mean that they would be useless in the research institute in the future.
Everyone had fought their way into the research institute. Who didn’t want to make a name for themselves… Group 10 was like a useless group of death. No one was willing to be tainted by bad luck.
“Our team is short of one person.”
