Everyone had become errand runners and meal fetchers every day.
Because biochemistry experiments required technical skills, often there wasn't much they could help with.
And so...
Shou Weixiang, on the other hand, ended up being the most comfortable among a few people!
Every day, he followed Chen Gong, not exactly living the high life but, for the most part, no one told Shou Weixiang to run errands.
Chen Gong also wasn't in the habit of ordering Shou Weixiang around.
Even when experiments were conducted each day, he would teach Shou Weixiang how to do them.
As a result, Shou Weixiang ended up being the first among them to master a particular experimental technique.
Moreover, because Chen Gong had the keys to the experimental building, he took advantage of the evenings after everyone had left work to disassemble some instruments with Shou Weixiang a few times.
This made Shou Weixiang exclaim in admiration for his expertise!
