Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 810

Inside Juniper’s research institute.

“Ah, Juniper, you’re back!” The moment they saw her, the senior researchers at the institute lit up.

“Yeah.” Juniper dropped her backpack and plopped down into a chair with an air of casual authority.

“It’s been a while since you’ve visited. We hope you’re well. How are your studies?” The director approached with a milkshake and some dessert, his aged face beaming with a fawning smile.

Juniper slowly lifted her eyelids, her gaze lazily falling on the old man across from her. “If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Oh, nothing at all!” The director shrugged with a cheerful grin. “We were just concerned about you. We’ve missed you.”

“Oh.” A slight curve formed on Juniper’s lips. “If there’s nothing, then I’ll get to work.”

“No, no, no!” Seeing that she was about to leave, the director quickly followed, scratching his head. “It’s just… the number of research projects this month has increased, and we’ve gone over budget.”

“I just transferred twenty million to you last month…” Juniper said, turning her head languidly.

The director looked like he was about to get on his knees. Research burned through money like water, and they had already tried their best to be frugal.

But they hadn’t saved much. He had been stressing over how to ask the boss for more funds. By sheer coincidence, Juniper had returned.

The director was a dedicated man, and Juniper didn’t want to make things difficult for him. “The money will be in the account by tomorrow afternoon,” she said softly. “Now, I need you to look at something for me.”

“Right away!” Elated to have secured the funding, the director practically flew off, moving faster than anyone else.
