Qin Xue, feeling helpless, opened her backpack and found only some pastries left. She might as well make do with them.

"Here, eat this for now. After I finish up, I’ll take you out to eat." Qin Xue and the others used to only leave the cafeteria when it closed, so now there was nothing to eat even if she took him there. They would have to wait until she finished her tasks to go out for food.

"No need, these will do." Chu Molin didn’t mind skipping a meal, so having something to eat was good enough. Why would he be picky? That’s not an issue.

"Alright then, you go ahead and eat. Let me know if it’s not enough." Qin Xue didn’t bother with him anymore, handing him her bag directly.

What she brought for her own cravings now ended up benefiting him.

Qin Xue didn’t worry whether Chu Molin had enough to eat. Anyway, she was busy and needed to finish her work quickly before doing anything else. So instead of talking further, she focused on handling things one by one.

Chu Molin didn’t really want to eat, but his wife gave it to him, and seeing her busy, he couldn’t bring himself to disturb her. He thought for a moment and decided to eat the pastries.

As for the rest, he would just have to wait, as only then could she speed up. After all, dragging it out would just waste time.

Chu Molin didn’t know that Qin Xue intended to overturn her previous plans and start anew. So whatever was happening now was just minor tinkering.

But, regardless, she didn’t think much about it and was wholeheartedly focused on handling her affairs. Not until someone else entered the office did Qin Xue snap back to reality.

"I’m here." Gong Xi walked in and saw the woman named Qin Xue from the morning busy in the director’s office, while a handsome man watched her.

Seeing this situation, Gong Xi really didn’t know what to say. This woman asked him to come but didn’t say what to do, making him feel uneasy inside.

"Just sit and wait a bit, let me finish this first," Qin Xue said without even looking up, focusing on completing her urgent work first.

For Qin Xue, the most important task now was solving the problem at hand. After that, she’d have no worries about what she wanted to do.

Facing Qin Xue’s change from earlier, Gong Xi was a bit puzzled.

Her demeanor changed so quickly, does this mean he doesn’t have to worry about being bothered anymore?

"Hello, may I ask which department you’re from? I haven’t seen you before." Gong Xi sat beside Chu Molin. Anyone sitting here shouldn’t be an outsider, but who was this man, and why was he here?

Gong Xi glanced at the engrossed Qin Xue, then looked at the man next to him. What kind of people were they, and why weren’t they talking?

Gong Xi had always been quiet, but since seeing Qin Xue today, he felt unlike himself, which was truly strange.

Chu Molin only gave him a fleeting glance and said nothing. As for personal questions from people he didn’t know well, he wouldn’t answer them.

Gong Xi’s thoughts and actions were driven by curiosity because the woman’s behavior earlier and now was bewildering. What would happen if he left?

Though he thought about it, Gong Xi didn’t dare do anything since he hadn’t forgotten Guo Aiguo’s words that Qin Xue was not to be offended.

It was Qin Xue’s arrangement. Otherwise, who knows what Gong Xi would have done.

Seeing that Chu Molin ignored him, Gong Xi touched his nose and quietly waited for Qin Xue.

"Young man, what’s your name?" After finishing her work, Qin Xue asked Gong Xi.
