On the sofa, Jian Hanshen crossed his legs leisurely. When he saw Jiang Yu make a call, the interest in his eyes intensified.

In the meeting room.

The meeting was almost over. Just as Jiang Jingnian was about to say a few simple words to end the meeting, his phone rang.

When he saw the number, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he picked up quickly, as if he was afraid that the other party would hang up.

Jiang Jingnian still had a smile on his face. “Why are you calling me?”

Even his voice was gentle.

Although Dr. Jiang’s expression was usually warm, it was still very different from this moment.

There was always a sense of alienation in his friendliness. In fact, he kept a certain distance from everyone. But now, the joy at the corners of his eyes and brows was unmistakable.

Everyone was guessing who was calling.

Could it be…Dr. Kong?

Dr. Kong had not come this morning. Could that be such a possibility?

Someone said something on the other side. When everyone saw Jiang Jingnian, they saw his expression instantly darken and heard his voice fall. “Who wants to chase you away?”

Everyone: ??? Hmm? There was someone who wanted to chase Dr. Kong away?

Jiang Jingnian: “I’ll be right down.”

Everyone: !!! Is Dr. Jiang going to save the damsel in distress?!

They looked at Jiang Jingnian and hastily said, “The meeting is over.” Then, they hurriedly left.

Although everyone wanted to watch the show, they didn’t dare to follow Jiang Jingnian openly.

On the other end, Jiang Yu hung up the phone.

Kong Zhihui said disdainfully, “Do you think we have the time to wait for you to find someone?”

Jiang Yu said casually, “He’ll be here soon.”

Kong Zhihui said nonchalantly, “No matter who you call, kid, it’s useless for me to tell you the truth. It seems that you still don’t know the status of our research institute in Beijing. I don’t blame you for your lack of knowledge, but after today, you’ll know what a ridiculous mistake you’ve made.

“It doesn’t matter. These things will happen to you when you grow up. You’ve learned a lesson in advance, and we won’t charge you for your tuition. You’ve earned it.”

Kong Zhihui’s tone was so proud that it seemed like it was overflowing from her words.

Jiang Yu counted the time in her heart.

One minute was enough to go from upstairs to downstairs.

If he didn’t make it here in one minute, why would she invite him to make potstickers? She could just do it without him.

Kong Zhihui was still talking, “Why have you lowered your head and don’t dare look at me? Afraid? It’s not too late for you to regret it now. There’s no need to make things too ugly…”

Jiang Yu suddenly looked up. “Are all older women as long-winded as you?”

Kong Zhihui blurted out, “Of course not. Wait… Who are you calling long-winded? Who’s old?”

Jiang Yu: “I’m talking about you, Auntie.”

Just as Kong Zhihui was about to flare up, there was a ‘ding’ from the elevator.
