Glad My Wife Studied Math

Looking at the experimental log of the platelet activation research group, there isn't much content. After all, this project has only just started, and they are doing preparatory work, not yet entering the main stages of the project.

As the head of the center, Shen Qi didn't need to review the specific details of every project, nor did he have that much time and energy.

Just grasp the general direction, focus on key points, and conduct random checks.

However, Shen Qi was very dedicated to the LPJK1 project, paying close attention to every detail.

Project progress, experimental design, experimental results, the mental state of the experimenters, the current situation of the experimenters... Shen Qi may not often explicitly mention these things, but he keeps them all in mind, whether they are major or minor and directly or indirectly related to LPJK1.

Beep beep.

The laboratory door was swipe open from the outside.

After finishing the last sip of her coffee, He Lin crumpled the disposable coffee cup into a ball and threw it into the trash can outside the door before entering the laboratory.

People who drink coffee while walking must be very busy. After He Lin entered the experiment, she saw a smiling face smiling at her.

Good morning, Director Shen.

"Good morning, He Lin. You're starting your day with a cup of coffee. Looks like you're not planning on going to sleep?"

"I'm used to it." He Lin put on her white lab coat and, fueled by coffee, got to work early in the morning.

Everyone needs to sleep; those who don't sleep will die. Shen Qi shook his head and said, "That's not a good habit."

He Lin explained, "This morning I finalized the design of our group's next experimental step, and I expect to spend the entire afternoon sleeping."

Shen Qi asked with concern, "Sleeping alone?"

He Lin was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Director Shen is very concerned about my personal life? Thank you for your concern. Yes, I sleep alone."

"Have you considered finding a man you find agreeable to start a family?" Shen Qi was the emperor at the center; emperors didn't need to beat around the bush.

A considerate and caring man might be more popular with girls than a clueless, insensitive man.

At Shen Qi's current stage of life, as a married man with a wife and children but no mistress, whether he's warm or straightforward depends mainly on his mood; he just needs to avoid being a scumbag.

If any other man had asked He Lin so directly when she was getting married, He Lin would have definitely given a cold snort and said, "None of your business."

Shen Qi was different from other men. He Lin crossed her arms and laughed, "Yes, Director Shen is quite pleasing to the eye."

You, Shen Qi, are allowed to flirt with female researchers, but female researchers aren't allowed to flirt with you?

Shen Qi sighed, "Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Dr. He, my daughter is almost four years old."

As a highly educated woman with well-rounded development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, appearance, chest, and legs, He Lin has outstanding personal qualities. She said, "Ten years ago, I loved a man so much that I couldn't extricate myself. Before I even graduated from university, I couldn't wait to marry him."

"Looks like she didn't get married." Shen Qi knew there must be a story behind He Lin.

"As graduation approached, that man told me that physiology dictates that love for someone won't last more than eighteen months, and we should break up." He Lin recounted a heartbreaking story of a "devoted girl meeting a scumbag." She calmly narrated the plot, as if she were just a storyteller rather than the heroine of the story.

"I have some knowledge of physiology, that man is talking complete nonsense." Shen Qi felt a little sorry for He Lin. It's normal for young couples to break up, but treating your girlfriend like she's mentally challenged is a different matter altogether.

"That day I hesitated for a long time in the coffee shop, and finally I splashed the coffee in my cup all over his face. Then I went to the lab and prepared a bottle of hexafluoroantimony." He Lin looked at the medicine cabinet, where hexafluoroantimony, which is extremely acidic and corrosive, was displayed. Today's hexafluoroantimony is no different in chemical properties from the hexafluoroantimony of ten years ago.

So never hurt a girl who studies chemistry emotionally, and never insult her intelligence, otherwise you won't even know how you died, and your body won't even be found.

If a body cannot be found, the police can only report the person missing. Only after several years can a person be declared dead. However, after so many years, it is very difficult for the police to find any useful clues.

"I understand, I understand." Shen Qi secretly rejoiced, "Luckily, my wife studied mathematics."

He Lin continued, "Director Shen, you're overthinking it. Hexafluoroantimony acid is for my graduation project. My graduation project went very smoothly; I got my master's degree and went on to pursue my doctorate in the UK. After studying chemistry for so many years, I've learned one thing: the only constant in a chemical equation is the equal sign. To obtain the target product on the right side of the equal sign, we must sacrifice the original reactants on the left side. So, Director Shen, who knows whether a pleasing man is a reactant or a target product?"

"Profound." Shen Qi smiled slightly. Dr. He Lin has embarked on a path of proving her understanding through chemistry, and she still has a lot of room for improvement.

After discussing the love life and transformation of the female chemistry PhD student, Shen Qi shifted the topic to the LPJK1 project: "I'm glad you shared your journey with me, He Lin. Let's talk about receptor blockers. I noticed that you coupled compound 22 with 5-chloro-2-thiophene-carboxylic acid in the presence of EDCHCl and HOBT, and purified it using chiral HPLC to obtain compound 38 with a yield of 80%. Up to this point, I'm very satisfied. So, how do you plan to address the issues of chemical and optical purity?"

"Speaking of this problem, I'm also having a headache..." He Lin scratched her head repeatedly, her hair disheveled and her face haggard. "Using epichlorohydrin as a chiral source to prepare key intermediates is inexpensive, but the results are unsatisfactory. What's most frustrating is that although epichlorohydrin's effect is only average, it is still the best known chiral source. Even if we achieve the best results we can, we still can't meet the chemical and optical purity standards. Director Shen, do you think I want to work overtime or stay up all night? There's no other way. If I can't get the results I want, I can only do it again and again, which is very time-consuming."

Shen Qi: "We're not afraid of spending time; we're afraid of spending time and still not solving the problem."

"Please stop hurting me, Director Shen. I'm on the verge of a breakdown." He Lin rarely showed such vulnerability, but this vulnerability was fleeting, and she quickly regained her determination to overcome all difficulties and move forward.

"What did Professor Tang say?" Shen Qi led Professor Tang, Professor Tang in turn led his former doctoral student He Lin.

He Lin answered truthfully, "Teacher Tang suggested not to change the original route design. He told me to continue to optimize the original plan, and if we didn't have enough manpower, we should ask Director Shen for more people; if we didn't have enough money, we should ask Director Shen for more money."

Hey, you old Tang, you're a seasoned straight man too, no wonder you can raise such an outstanding student as He Lin.

Shen Qi shook his head and said, "I have neither money nor people."
