Then.
The original lab was relocated.
Xu Chao could only move north to work in the new lab at Yanhua University. He was clearly an 'outsider', having nothing to do with Yanhua University, so being in a new place was like starting over.
He was even less fortunate than Qian Hong.
Qian Hong, still in the process of her doctorate, managed to get a part-time lecturer position, which brought in a decent income.
Xu Chao was merely a doctoral student recruited by the lab, not even an assistant researcher, and could be seen as a temporary worker in the lab. He definitely wanted to continue his research work and strived hard for it. But the prospects of achieving any remarkable results in a short time seemed very difficult.
Zhao Yi had some understanding of Xu Chao's situation. After careful consideration, he realized that Xu Chao would make a good target for talent poaching.
