When Marsh Hawthorne came in, a female researcher put down the tablet in her hand and walked towards her.
Seeing this, others also gathered around.
The female researcher had her hair neatly tied up, wore a pair of rimless glasses, was tall, had two deep nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth, and did not look young.
Arriving in a new environment for the first time, Mash Hawthorne wanted to show due enthusiasm and affinity, but——
She glanced at her future colleagues who half-surrounded her.
Everyone was taller than Marsh Hawthorne, but she was used to it. Mainly, their expressions were more serious than each other, and they didn't seem like they were welcoming a new colleague, but rather participating in an important interview.
Considering the clothes everyone was wearing and the cold environment, Mash Hawthorne felt a little scared.
"Hello."
Marsh Hawthorne greeted with a smile and a crinkled eye.
This sentence seemed to trigger some entry.
"Hello."
"Hello."
…
The other researchers nodded and greeted one after another. Their voices were different, but the tones were all calm, as if they were a set program that automatically triggered a standard reply when the command "hello" was entered.
With the last person's 'hello', the scene fell into silence.
Mash Hawthorne felt that the smile on his face could no longer be maintained...
Well, why don't you say a few more words? Like, an introduction or something.
Or do they not welcome me?
The colleagues across from her obviously did not understand the new employee's thoughts and continued to stare at her as if she were an exhibit. If you didn't know better, you would think they were looking at some new geographical discovery.
Marsh Hawthorne suddenly began to worry about his future career .
Although she graduated from Ark College, it was a rare opportunity for her to enter this laboratory. As it was her first job, she wanted to do her best.
Most importantly, the units here can be allocated houses.
This slightly embarrassing scene did not last long.
Just as Marsh Hawthorne was thinking about what to say to break the deathly silence, the first female researcher spoke up.
"You should be Marsh Hawthorne, right? Let me introduce myself. My last name is Ji, my given name is Wutong, and I'm the head of the laboratory. You can just call me Sister Ji." Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.
