"Perhaps, only on the day I die will I not be able to hear anything anymore."

Tang Sili raised his eyebrows, seemingly startled by her words once again.

Gu Nuan gave a slight smile, "Don’t scare a deaf person like me with those technical terms, Professor Tang. You can scare my husband or your students, but don’t think about scaring me. I am a woman who has crawled out of Death Pond."

Tang Sili’s complexion changed slightly.

Gu Nuan crossed her arms and elegantly rested one leg over the other, "Let’s negotiate properly, Professor Tang. Tell me everything you know, the information you got from hypnotizing my husband or from your students. Since you want to get that key from me, don’t you?"

The height of summer always shows itself in the eighth month of the vacation, to an excessive extent. At this time, the indoor air conditioning is turned up to the peak, causing a kind of air-conditioning sickness that makes one feel rather uncomfortable.

Zhong Qiaohui sneezed and, when she looked up, she saw Gu Nuan walking in from outside the office area.

Hi. She raised her hand.

Seeing her, Gu Nuan walked over, now able to say what she hadn’t gotten the chance to yesterday.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Zhong Qiaohui asked her stealthily, "Did your husband mix public with private affairs?"

See, the big white dog deserves a scolding. Doing such things, without fear of divine wrath, with so many people watching. She’s going to become a femme fatale at this rate.

Gu Nuan replied, "I went to the hospital to understand my senior’s condition. He said he’s getting discharged this afternoon."

"Wasn’t your husband with you?" Zhong Qiaohui winked mysteriously, "Didn’t you know? I’m also a super fan of Mr. Xiao online, just listening to his ranting feels like a treat."

Gu Nuan: Uh. Do so many people like being masochists?

The Human Resources department called then, informing both women that their boss’s office, that is, Mr. Xiao’s office area, had been arranged in the East District.

The two picked up their file boxes, ready to move their base, and Zhong Qiaohui talked about what happened yesterday while Gu Nuan wasn’t there.

"After Director Chen called Li Changzhi and Xiaoliu into his office, they didn’t come out for a long time. The whole department heard about it, saying it was a life-and-death struggle. Some planned to continue watching, some were itching to act. Those who wanted to ingratiate themselves with Director Chen and Miss Xiao started moving in secret, planning to help Director Chen by digging through the archives in the warehouse downstairs. I wanted to go down and check it out, but then I heard that suddenly the warehouse was packed with people, too many had rushed to the archive room looking for things. Some almost came to blows over a box."

To put it bluntly, not a single person would pass up an opportunity to climb higher when they see one.

Zhong Qiaohui continued, "Your mentor later went to the Business Development department, seemingly to search for old documents, and then, unsurprisingly, got cursed out and sent back. He wanted to help you—what are your thoughts?"

Gu Nuan looked up, meeting Zhong Qiaohui’s questioning eyes.

Seeing that Gu Nuan appeared completely unmoved by all the tense talk from Zhong Qiaohui.

"This afternoon, when my senior comes back, we’ll talk about it in the meeting," Gu Nuan said.

Zhong Qiaohui shrugged her shoulders, teasing her at the same time, "Look at you, all sly, you must have some good cards in your hand."

As they headed to the East District, behind them, Xiaoliu followed at a distance, tiptoeing to see their expressions, as if their conversation had been overheard by her.
