Chapter 140 Everything else is fine, but she has a husband!

With Jiang Xun's help, Chen Shixuan underwent a night of intensive training, and unsurprisingly, she chose to take the day off the next day.

Fortunately, the courses at the Beijing Dance Academy are not many. As long as their own conditions are good, they can pass the professional courses smoothly by attending a few classes.

Jiang Xun stayed at Chen Shixuan's place for a day and didn't return to school until very late at night.

Chen Dapeng and his two friends had gotten used to his frequent skipping of classes; they felt that they and Jiang Xun were attending completely different universities.

After chatting with his three roommates for a while, Jiang Xun turned on his computer to start writing, only to see that Professor Yan Jin had sent him an email.

The gist of the content is that it affirms his research in biology, but it is still at a very superficial level. After all, biology requires a lot of experiments to accumulate experience.

So Yan Jin invited Jiang Xun to join the project she was researching, ostensibly to handle information processing and collection, but in reality, he was more like Yan Jin's intern assistant.

Jiang Xun originally wanted to refuse, since if he participated in Yan Jin's project, he would probably have to go to the lab every day, which would waste a lot of his time.

But considering that Yan Jin had helped him a lot, it wouldn't be good to refuse directly, so he decided to agree first. After all, it was an insignificant role, and he could find an opportunity to resign later.

The Tomato Novel website is now fully established, and content is gradually being added, making it look quite professional.

Jiang Xun completely entrusted the task of ghostwriting the manuscripts to Song Ziyan and Li Zhenzhen. Dozens or even hundreds of people signed up, but in the end, only thirteen were selected.

They all signed contracts based on the template provided by Jiang Xun, and have now started writing and uploading using the outlines he provided.

As for other registered authors, their manuscripts need to pass a contract review. If the review is passed, they still need to write and publish the manuscripts for sale before they can receive the website's benefits.

Jiang Xun created this website mainly to pave the way for the future, so he himself will not put too much effort into it.

Next, he will rent an office on Zhichun Road and hire a group of experienced people to serve as the website's editor-in-chief and editors, handling all website-related matters.

There's a reason why it's called Zhichun Road.

The remarkable thing about this road is that it's a cradle for numerous startups.

To put it simply, if you randomly knocked on a door, the person sitting inside might very well be a future giant.

Companies like Xiaomi, Meituan, and ByteDance have all had offices here.

If things go as expected, Zhang Yiming will probably be preparing to rent office space on Zhichun Road, but it's just unknown when exactly.

……

The next day, Jiang Xun arrived at the School of Life Sciences' experimental building and entered the laboratory as instructed in Yan Jin's email.

Yan Jin was wearing a white coat and a mask, but Jiang Xun still spotted her at a glance; her tall figure and powerful aura were simply too eye-catching.

"You're here? Follow along for a couple of days, then I'll assign you a task." Yan Jin glanced at Jiang Xun and said only this one sentence, without even introducing Jiang Xun to the others.

That's just her personality; she's naturally quiet and dislikes all sorts of formalities.

Fortunately, another middle-aged woman in a white coat introduced Jiang Xun to several important researchers and also introduced Jiang Xun to the others.

This woman is also an associate professor at the school. Most of the people involved in the project are doctoral students, and the rest are graduate students. Jiang Xun is undoubtedly another outlier.

Jiang Xun thus joined this rather impressive project, though he's currently just a nobody.

That evening, Jiang Xun called his father and learned that his aunt, Jiang Yuchang, was sick, and it seemed that she was quite ill, which was why Zhao Ruoyu had not returned to school in time.

My parents are planning to take some time these next couple of days to go to the city to see what's going on with my aunt's illness.

Jiang Xun didn't worry about it unnecessarily. With his parents around, these things naturally wouldn't fall on his shoulders. Apart from managing the website, he spent most of his time on Yan Jin's project.

The project is currently investigating the crystal structure of the 'bacterial voltage-gated sodium channel NaChBac homolog', which Jiang Xun learned about last night through an email sent by Yan Jin.

Over the next two days, Jiang Xun collected relevant academic knowledge and papers, and also carefully observed and learned everything useful in the laboratory.

While he was diligently observing and learning, Yan Jin was also observing him, as if he were truly treating him as a research subject.

On the third day after Jiang Xun joined Yan Jin's project, the latter called a seminar for everyone, and Jiang Xun naturally had to attend.

After everyone entered the conference room and took their seats, Yan Jin, having removed her white coat, gracefully walked in from outside. She wore a black, fitted long dress over a white gauze top, with white sleeves and collar, and a white silk scarf tied around her neck, looking intellectual, elegant, and poised.

She tidied her long, loose hair, her expression as indifferent as ever—not cold, but simply as if she didn't care about anything.

At the start of the meeting, everyone discussed the problems that had arisen in their recent research. Yan Jin listened quietly for most of the time, but occasionally she would speak up and raise key questions.

The meeting lasted for almost two hours. Near the end, Yan Jin suddenly looked at Jiang Xun, who seemed somewhat listless during the conversation.

She wasn't dissatisfied with Jiang Xun's attitude, but she felt it was a bit difficult for an undergraduate like Jiang Xun to participate in such a meeting, especially since he was only an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man.

"Jiang Xun, summarize what you've learned in the lab these past two days, or rather, talk about your thoughts on this project." Yan Jin's cold and calm voice rang out, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Jiang Xun knew this part would happen, but he didn't expect Yan Jin to ask him directly in front of all the researchers. This really showed no mercy.

However, he remained completely calm. Over the past two days, he had used the privileges granted to him by Yan Jin to collect almost all the research materials.
In addition, he has been frantically collecting relevant knowledge on his own, and now he has reached a level of expertise in biological sciences. Even if he has not reached the level of a doctoral student, he is probably better than most graduate students.

Under the various gazes of the crowd, Jiang Xun pondered for a moment before speaking loudly:
"Based on recent research on the NaChBac homolog of the marine α-proteobacterium HIMB114, NavRh has a high-resolution crystal structure up to 3.05 Å."

"Thr 178 and Leu 179 carbon-based oxygen atoms constitute the internal sites of selective filters for the localization of hydrated Ca2+ in the crystal structure, based on the analysis of the three-dimensional crystal structure."

"The outer opening of the Na+ selective filter, determined by Ser 181 and Glu 183, is closed, which is the activation gate inside the pore cell."

"Voltage-sensing proteins adopt a depolarized conformation in which all gating charges are exposed to the extracellular environment."

“I believe NavRh is in a ‘deactivated’ conformation. Comparing NavRh and NavAb4 reveals that a considerable conformational rearrangement may be the basis for the electromechanical coupling mechanism of the voltage-gated channel.”

As Jiang Xun's voice gradually rose, the researchers, who had been somewhat casual, fell into a deathly silence. They instinctively sat up straight, staring dumbfounded at Jiang Xun, who was now speaking eloquently.

Even Yan Jin, who was usually indifferent, showed a rare look of shock in her eyes after listening to Jiang Xun's complete account.

"Professor Yan, Professor Huo, fellow students, this is my own bold analysis of the research results based on my interpretation of the project materials and my self-study of some biological subjects. If there are any errors, I hope you will correct them. Thank you."

Jiang Xun bowed slightly to Yan Jin and the others, smiled politely, and then sat back down.

A moment later, led by the female professor surnamed Huo, enthusiastic applause rang out in the conference room. Everyone looked at Jiang Xun with a mixture of amazement and even a hint of jealousy.

Why are people so amazing at eighteen or nineteen? They can get straight to the core of a project after just two days of studying it, and even completely explain the key research points.

Most importantly, Jiang Xun's last sentence was the most brilliant. Although everyone was discussing it, no one said the real result. Either they hadn't thought of it, or they weren't sure.

But now Jiang Xun has hit the nail on the head, and with such firm confidence that even those present seem to have gained more confidence.

After the meeting ended, Yan Jin kept Jiang Xun behind alone. She regained her usual composure and quietly looked at Jiang Xun.

Only after Jiang Xun became uneasy under her gaze did she speak in her clear, cool voice, as gentle as a mountain spring:
"There's not much going on in the lab for the next few days. What are your plans?"

The project is now in its final stages, so there won't be much going on. Even Yan Jin herself is often away from the lab.

Jiang Xun was somewhat surprised that Yan Jin would ask him what his plans were. This was not like Yan Jin's usual style. Shouldn't Yan Jin have just informed him?

"Does Professor Yan have any plans?" Jiang Xun asked, almost as if possessed.

Yan Jin was silent for a moment, then said something that made Jiang Xun's heart skip a beat. She said nonchalantly:

"If you're free, you can be my driver for a day, and I'll pay you."

"Okay, no problem. Forget about the salary, just provide meals," Jiang Xun said with a smile.

Yan Jin nodded and didn't say much more about the matter. She just told Jiang Xun that she would drive the car to the south gate of the school early the next morning and that he should not forget the time.

After leaving the conference room, Jiang Xun went straight back to his dormitory. He was still a little confused. What on earth was this number one goddess of Peking University doing, making him drive for her?

Although she is very beautiful and has a great figure, she is a professor at the university.

Of course, this wasn't a problem for Jiang Xun; the key issue was that she had a husband.
