Chapter 217: Chapter 217 Crisis Approaching (4)

Gu Nuan could distinctly feel that his action of checking the watch and Chen Jiaming’s action of checking his watch were somehow connected.

Someone knocked on the door, and a staff member of Tengguang entered, saying to Manager Zhou, "Manager, there’s a call for you."

Manager Zhou then stood up, apologized to Chen Jiaming and the others, and immediately left the conference hall to answer the call.

At that moment, Fu Yubo suddenly bumped Gu Nuan’s arm.

Gu Nuan immediately understood his intention and stood up.

"Where is she going?"

At this time, the finance director of Tengguang’s presbyopia glasses suddenly became bright, focusing on Gu Nuan’s action.

Gu Nuan didn’t hear him, turned around, and walked outside.

Fu Yubo explained to the others, "She’s going to the restroom."

"Hey, didn’t she hear me calling her?" The finance director of Tengguang, feeling the unpleasantness of being ignored, seemed to want to make an issue of it.

Fu Yubo had no choice but to explain again, "She’s deaf."

"What?"

At that point, Chen Jiaming interjected, "There’s no need to be so surprised. The government encourages companies to employ people with disabilities. We at Changda are just responding to the government’s call."

The people from Tengguang seemed to be at a loss for words.

Gu Nuan walked out of the conference hall, and at the end of the hallway in front, there seemed to be a sign for the restroom. She walked toward it.

In the hallway, there were hardly any other people.

Gu Nuan kept walking, passing several offices along the way. As this was the third floor, and given the office culture of companies, the boss’s office is typically located on the third floor.

The conference hall where they had been negotiating, which was quite small, could be inferred to be a place where the boss held private meetings with a few staff members, or senior personnel.

As for why Tengguang arranged this business negotiation in the upstairs conference hall, it was certainly for the convenience of the boss, so he could move around easily without the need to go up and down stairs.

Based on this deduction, halfway there, Gu Nuan indeed saw an office with a sign indicating it was the general manager’s. Since the general manager’s secretary had remained in the conference hall for the business negotiation.

Now, only Manager Zhou was inside this office.

Gu Nuan mustered courage and edged closer to the door of the general manager’s office.

The voice that faintly transmitted from the crack of the door was Manager Zhou’s.

Peering into the sliver of light coming from the door crack, Gu Nuan seemed to see the figure of Manager Zhou. The blurry figure was shaking uncertainly, suggesting that the person speaking was agitated.

Due to his agitation, Manager Zhou’s voice involuntarily shifted from a low tone to a slightly higher pitch, allowing Gu Nuan to hear even more clearly.

"I’m telling you, they, the bank—"

The word "bank," just these two syllables, exploded in Gu Nuan’s head, almost as if burning a hole through her brain.

Suddenly, footsteps in the room headed straight for the door.

Gu Nuan didn’t have enough time to run, so she could only quickly take a few steps forward.

The office door was yanked open from the inside with a click. Manager Zhou, holding a cellphone and turning his head, immediately saw Gu Nuan walking ahead.

"Hey—"

Gu Nuan could clearly hear him shout. However, she did not respond to his call.

After that, Manager Zhou did not continue to call out to her.

At the same time, other Tengguang employees, possibly hearing Manager Zhou’s shout, ran over and were surprised to see Gu Nuan’s figure.

At that moment, Gu Nuan heard Manager Zhou say:

"Don’t mind her, she’s deaf."

After stringing together a series of thoughts, Gu Nuan understood everything.
