These things have one common trait: they avoid humans. It's not out of fear, but as if there's something foul and unbearable about them.
At first, everyone, of course, thought this was a good thing, since they didn't want to come into contact with these things.
However, when the head of the production department assigned them the task of feeding these things, they quickly realized that it was becoming increasingly difficult to feed them within the limited time, since these things kept avoiding them.
Wu Hao had already swapped jobs with the glasses-wearing man. Now, part of his job was to take care of the feeding, and he had come to the same realization. He looked at Tian Fang with suspicion and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Tian Fang replied, "They like the smell of body wash."
Wu Hao squinted his eyes. "Wasn't it said on the first night that body wash can't be used?"
Tian Fang, unbothered, calmly looked at him and said, "There is not a single rule in the Employee Dormitory Management Rules about whether shower gel can be used or not; that was just the guess of the first person who entered the bathroom."
"If you don't believe me, I have a set of 'Milk Production Base' precautions here, which you can use for reference."
After saying that, Tian Fang took a card out of her pocket. Wu Hao snatched it from her hand, holding it firmly and saying, "Thanks," without any intention of returning it.
Tian Fang frowned at him, but Wu Hao just looked back at her with no sense of guilt on his face. Eventually, Tian Fang lowered her gaze and took a step back.
"Remember to give it back to me after you've finished looking at it."
Watching Wu Hao enter the dorm, Tian Fang stood in place and quietly let the night breeze blow for a while. Then, she walked towards the dorm at the end of the hallway, the one closest to the bathroom.
She knocked lightly on the door of Wan Qian's room.
"I've told him about the use of that thing," Tian Fang said to Wan Qian.
Wan Qian, who had just finished washing up with Wen Xirou, Xiao Lin, and Jiang You, was wiping her wet hair with a towel. She looked at Tian Fang with a confused expression.
"What?"
Tian Fang stood silently at the door, her lips slightly pressed together and her gaze lowered. Her demeanor was calm and submissive.
"I've revealed a bit about the shower gel and shampoo issue to Wu Hao," Tian Fang explained.
Tian Fang knew that the woman in front of her, named Wan Qian, was probably the strongest among their group.
Not only did she dare to sleep in the same room as Jiang You when no one else volunteered, but she had also carried the unconscious Wen Xirou back from the office despite knowing the danger.
It was probably from the first day that Wan Qian had already warned Wen Xirou about not using the body wash and shampoo in the bathroom.
By then, she must have already suspected their true purpose, even without seeing the exact rules.
Had Wan Qian not given the early warning, Tian Fang might have assumed that body wash and shampoo were harmless when she got the set of 'Milk Production Base' precautions.
But it was precisely because of Wan Qian's warning on the first day that Tian Fang thought of more possibilities.
These things do indeed like the scent of shower gel and shampoo. A small amount of use can also be helpful for the feeding work. However, what would happen if that "liking" went overboard?
Tian Fang didn't share her further speculations with Wu Hao. Whether Wu Hao could control the usage wasn't something Tian Fang would interfere with.
After all, Wan Qian was the one who had first pointed out the issue with body wash and shampoo. Back then, Wan Qian must have been thinking about sharing the discovered rules with everyone and working together to overcome the challenges. It was rare to encounter someone as virtuous as Wan Qian.
Tian Fang felt she should inform Wan Qian of what she had done, even though her actions might have contradicted Wan Qian's original intention. Tian Fang didn't expect her approach to match Wan Qian's ideals, but at least she hoped they wouldn't come into conflict because of Wu Hao.
Thus, she appeared at Wan Qian's door, honestly explaining her actions, hoping for Wan Qian's understanding.
As expected, after hearing this, Wan Qian's expression became noticeably complicated.
"You—" Wan Qian, holding the towel, hesitated for a long time before finally speaking. "You knew?"
Wan Qian was panicking inside. Didn't she already have the butler replace the shower gel and shampoo that had been tampered with? How come it's still been discovered?
Tian Fang nodded gently. "You made it quite obvious. I could deduce it."
Seeing that Wan Qian didn't say anything, Tian Fang pressed her lips together. Despite having experienced many trials, her expression at this moment couldn't help but show a hint of tension.
"I understand your meaning. It was too forward of me to do such a thing… For this matter, I only revealed it to Wu Hao, and I hope you can understand."
Wan Qian was deeply conflicted, "Can I ask why you did this?"
Tian Fang sighed lightly. "I can't be as noble as you, with good intentions toward everyone. But, I don't consider myself despicable either. I just hope that as many people as possible can make it through to the end."
Tian Fang lifted her gaze to meet Wan Qian's, her voice firm and resolute. "So, I want to eliminate the unstable factors as early as possible."
Wan Qian fell into deep thought.
From what Tian Fang said, it seems like she hopes that most of the interns can pass the assessment and stay on the farm?
That made sense, considering how hard it was to find work nowadays. As for Wu Hao, Wan Qian remembered seeing him bullying his roommates before.
Tian Fang likely didn't want Wu Hao's actions to negatively impact the impression of all the interns in the eyes of the leaders. Wan Qian could understand Tian Fang's perspective.
