Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Teaching a Lesson to the Toad (6)

That is to say, if it weren’t for some special reasons, Mingyue shouldn’t have been sold at all.

Was someone eyeing the fat piece of meat that Changda was planning to spit out?

When Xu Zhilin pulled away from his office chair, he suddenly realized his palms were sweating.

It was terrifying.

Had he inadvertently gotten involved with some secret of the company’s higher-ups?

Suddenly, a voice came up to his ear, saying, "Since you know now, you’re on this ship of thieves too, and from now on, you won’t be able to escape."

Xu Zhilin turned his head abruptly and saw Qiu Wenduo’s face.

Under the fluorescent light, Qiu Wenduo’s face became slightly blurred. Undoubtedly, the gentle to the point of timid features instantly twisted in the light, like that of a crocodile.

Xu Zhilin was so frightened that he almost slid off the office chair.

Qiu Wenduo immediately grabbed him, raising his eyebrows, "What’s the matter with you? Did you drink the same coffee as Commissioner Tang?"

Just then, Tang Qingzhong, who had taken the medicine given by Gu Nuan and had finally managed to temporarily stop his stomachache, was walking back slowly to the office area. He overheard Qiu Wenduo’s words and immediately glared at him.

Qiu Wenduo pointed directly at Xu Zhilin and said, "He made the coffee. You know, I hardly ever make coffee after the new guy came."

Tang Qingzhong’s gaze then fell on Xu Zhilin’s face.

The entirety of Xu Zhilin’s face looked pale, much like a criminal whose deeds had been exposed after committing the crime.

At that moment, Xu Zhilin’s heart pounded like thunder, not expecting at all that Qiu Wenduo would set several traps for him. It was clear that from the moment he stepped into the investment team, he was already food in someone else’s mouth.

In an instant, it was as if he was throwing caution to the wind; he turned back to look at Tang Qingzhong.

However, Tang Qingzhong seemed not to have heard Qiu Wenduo’s words clearly and continued walking straight to his own group’s office area.

Gu Nuan, too, seemed completely oblivious, focused only on typing away.

After seeing Gu Nuan’s appearance, Xu Zhilin’s mood suddenly shifted: Even if he had now been dragged onto the ship of thieves by others, it was still much better than her situation. For her, she was already like flesh on someone else’s chopping block.

If one day, Xiao Jianming realized that he had been fooled by a newcomer, who had sold a precious asset dirt cheap, it was imaginable what he would do to vent his anger on the newcomer. Gu Nuan’s fate was not hard to predict.

The day’s work in the company passed as usual, except for Tang Duck’s sudden bout of diarrhea.

After work in the evening, Gu Nuan was supposed to accompany Tang Qingzhong to see Fang Yongxing. Tang Qingzhong refused, saying, "You should go back. Isn’t the important report you’re working on still unfinished? Finish it as soon as possible. It’s very important for our team, more important than anything."

Hearing this, Gu Nuan had to give up the idea of accompanying him.

She took the subway home.

On the way, she received a message from a certain kid.

I’ve bought everything I want to eat tonight and put it in the fridge; you just make it and wait for me, I’m preparing to bring you a big present.

After Xiao Yebai finished sending this message to his wife about returning home for dinner, he added an extremely cute and coquettish cat emoji:

Meow~

Gu Nuan nearly fainted on the spot.

Making him something to eat was one thing, but the problem was the present he mentioned.

Just the thought of what this man, who seemed as if he were from Mars, could come up with sent shivers down Gu Nuan’s scalp.

Meanwhile, inside the sleek white Porsche, Xiao Yebai’s fingertips brushed over the message he had sent to his wife about coming home for dinner, and the corners of his mouth curled contentedly.
