Shen Lu followed Li Qin to her office in a daze.
Li Qin's office was a bit of a mess. The left side of her desk was piled high with documents, while the right side was covered in various pieces of lab equipment. Shen Lu even spotted a few small flowerpots, from which tiny, faint green sprouts peeked out, so delicate you'd miss them if you weren't looking closely.
Li Qin rummaged around for a moment and pulled out a few Star Coins from the very bottom of a drawer.
After a moment's thought, she handed them all to Shen Lu.
"Miss, you don't have to give me so many." Shen Lu took one of the bills. "This much is enough."
She had exchanged popularity value for the sanitary pads. Although popularity value was worth far more than Star Coins, the amount Li Qin was offering was clearly way over the price.
"Alright." Li Qin's impression of Shen Lu improved even more. "What's your name? What brings you to the Institute?"
