The little female is incredibly sweet and soft, healing the five evil beasts right from the start.

Chapter 219 It’s her
"Sister Qingyu, there's no Bumian here. Her name is Jiang Mian. You've probably heard of her before. You must have called her by the wrong name earlier. You meant to call her Jiang Mian, right?" A boy offered to explain for her.

Xu Qingyu: ...

"Sister Qingyu, do you know her? Weren't you out to pick up that top-level researcher?" A second-level researcher looked at Xu Qingyu in surprise, then asked curiously about the top-level researcher, "Where is that top-level researcher? Why haven't we seen him yet?"

The others, upon hearing his words, also looked around curiously.

Everyone felt that Xu Qingyu had mispronounced "Bu Mian" and should have called him Jiang Mian. They wondered where Jiang Mian got the audacity to accept the title of "Big Boss Bu Mian."

They would rather believe that Xu Qingyu had mispronounced the name than believe that Jiang Mian was the same person they were talking about, Bu Mian.

"Yeah, where is that Sleepless One? He's so amazing! He's all over the internet, and nobody knows what he looks like. There are all sorts of guesses. I have to see what he looks like today." Another girl showed a fangirl expression. "It would be so great if he was a handsome guy over 185cm tall."

"Don't even think about it. I heard that Sleepless is an old man in his seventies or eighties." Another boy shattered another girl's fantasy.

Xu Qingyu: ...

The real person is standing right in front of you.

Although Xu Qingyu had never met Jiang Mian, she felt that Jiang Mian was Jiang Mian the moment she saw her.

"Well then, let me introduce you." Xu Qingyu walked to Jiang Mian's side, smiled slightly, and said, "This is Bu Mian, our new top-level researcher at the research institute. Her real name is Jiang Mian."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Mian in disbelief.

"Qingyu, you've got it wrong. How could she possibly be Bu Mian?" Jiang Yu's expression was somewhat stiff. "Aren't you going to check it properly? What if she's just like she stole my academic patent, taking someone else's place to gain glory, and replaced Bu Mian?"

For a moment, Jiang Yu was so overwhelmed that she forgot her gentle and generous persona and couldn't help but blurt it out.

When others looked at her, she quickly softened her tone and said, "Mianmian, Bumian is a very powerful figure. I'm just worried that you will steal someone else's identity like you did before, just like you stole my academic work. I'm fine, but Bumian's academic papers have made a great contribution, and no one can replace them."

“Yeah, Sister Qingyu, are you sure you’re not mistaken? How could she be Bu Mian? She can’t even distinguish herbs, how could she be that big shot from Yunwang?” Another girl also voiced her doubts.

Xu Qingyu: ...

"Anyway, whatever happened before, the higher-ups have already confirmed it. This is our new top-level researcher," Xu Qingyu said calmly. "Alright, I'm going to take Bu Mian to familiarize herself with the environment and work. You can all go to your workstations."

As Jiang Mian left with Xu Qingyu, her gaze was unhurried, yet she glanced at them as if scrutinizing a group of fools: "Those of you who were talking about me earlier, you'd better be prepared to be fired at any time."

The faces of the group turned sour. Since Bu Mian's status and value were far superior to theirs, she could easily have anyone she disliked dismissed by her superiors.

Jiang Mian and Xu Qingyu went to familiarize themselves with the work. Actually, they didn't need to be too familiar with it, as she already had some impression of the place from the original owner's memories.

Xu Qingyu led her to a large research lab.

"This is the research studio the Empire gave you, and these are the people who have signed up for your studio. They all want to join you and do research with you." Xu Qingyu handed a stack of application forms to Jiang Mian. They were all researchers below the level of special-grade researcher. "I'm signing up too. Since we met through the quantum computer, can you pull me into your research team as well?"

Jiang Mian took the stack of application forms and nodded: "Okay, I'll screen them."

Joining her research studio means working under her.

Jiang Mian flipped through the registration form and discovered that Jiang Yu had also registered.

Following the original owner's memories, she took in all the researchers who were at odds with the original owner, and they could expect to be enslaved by her from now on.

She also took in some regular researchers, since she needed to get the job done. The Empire assigned her a research project: the further development of uses for bellflower.

Jiang Mian thus took up a position at the Imperial Research Institute as a top-level researcher.

Soon, one after another, first-level researchers, second-level researchers, and some assistants arrived at Jiang Mian's research lab.

Jiang Yu had previously wanted Jiang Mian to be her assistant, but now Jiang Mian has become her boss.

"Get these documents organized before you leave work." Jiang Mian pushed a huge pile of files onto Jiang Yu's desk.

Jiang Yu's expression changed upon seeing so much data, and she pursed her lips, saying, "Let the assistant handle these tedious tasks."

"Just do what I tell you to do. Why are you making excuses? Don't you want to do it?" Jiang Mian slammed her hand on Jiang Yu's desk.

Jiang Yu's lips moved, and she could only agree: "Okay."

He felt suffocated and raging with impotence.

How could Jiang Mian be sleepless? How could that be?
No one knew the pain Jiang Yu was feeling.

Now the tables have turned, and those researchers don't dare to speak to Jiang Yu at all.

After all, a higher-ranking official can have a crushing effect.

Jiang Mian quickly sent a message to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Mian: Jiang Qi, come to the Imperial Research Institute.

Jiang Qi:?
Jiang Qi: What is it?

Jiang Mian: Weren't you going to kneel before me? Now you can come and kneel before me.

Jiang Qi: What nonsense are you spouting?

Jiang Mian simply slapped a sign indicating his workstation as a senior researcher and threw it at the other person.

Jiang Mian: What? Didn't you say you were going to kowtow and apologize to me? Are you going to back out now?
Jiang Mian: Of course, you can go back on your word if you want, but then you'll really become a dishonest bastard in my eyes.

Jiang Qi:?
Jiang Qi: Who are you calling a grandson of a bitch? I don't know where you photoshopped this picture. I'm going to the research institute right now to expose you. If it's fake, you'd better kneel down and kowtow to apologize.

Jiang Mian: Come kneel down.

……

Jiang Qi was enraged by Jiang Mian and sped off towards the research institute on his hover motorcycle.

After he arrived at the research institute, he first sent a message to Jiang Yu: Sister, I've come to see you.

After all, he was worried that Jiang Mian was deliberately playing a trick on him, making him come for nothing.

So after arriving at the research institute, he first sent a message to Jiang Yu, pretending to come and see her, and then trying to find out if Jiang Mian was lying to him.
