Shi Nuan started dialing Lv Nan Nan’s phone number, but the phone rang for quite a while without being answered.

Shi Nuan didn’t know what was going on and dialed again, calling two more times in succession, but there was still no answer.

Just then, Shi Nuan saw two colleagues from the same department as Lv Nan Nan coming down, and hurried over to inquire if they had seen Lv Nan Nan.

One of them said, "She’s upstairs. When we came down, she was sitting at her desk, looking deep in thought..."

Shi Nuan blinked and asked, "Is she working overtime?"

The person shook her head, "I don’t think so. She was just sitting there absentmindedly, not working overtime. It seemed like she had something on her mind..."

Shi Nuan hesitated for a moment, suddenly a bit worried. Lv Nan Nan’s behavior might be because of Lin Junyi.

Based on past experience, only Lin Junyi could affect Lv Nan Nan like this.

She was about to try calling again and, if unsuccessful, would go upstairs to find her.

At that moment, another colleague of Lv Nan Nan said, "Having something on her mind? I think it’s just her personality. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. Once, I even saw her staring at the vibrating phone without moving. The name on the phone, I glanced at it, was XX. I clearly remember they live in the same dormitory now, so even if XX has a bad temperament, when someone calls, you shouldn’t ignore it!"

Just then, this colleague was nudged by another, who whispered, "Stop talking, Lv Nan Nan is coming down!"

Shi Nuan blinked and turned her head, just in time to see Lv Nan Nan exiting the elevator.

And as she realized it, the two colleagues of Lv Nan Nan had already turned and walked away.

Shi Nuan no longer cared about them, just stood there waiting for Lv Nan Nan.

Lv Nan Nan came over and apologized, "Sorry, Nuannuan, I had a bit of a stomach upset, went straight to the washroom after work, and left my phone on the desk, didn’t see your calls... Are you... and your colleagues, waiting for long?"

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered slightly, looking at Lv Nan Nan, with an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Earlier, Lj Nan Nan’s two colleagues said she had been dazing at the desk, but Lv Nan Nan herself said she was sick...

Her colleagues were not well acquainted enough to make up such a thing against her, was Lv Nan Nan lying?

But Lv Nan Nan, why would she lie to me? She couldn’t understand!

After all, having been university roommates for four years, Shi Nuan didn’t want to overthink the reasons; she just felt Lv Nan Nan probably had something on her mind she didn’t wish to share, thus saying so.

She smiled and said, "It’s okay, we haven’t waited long, let’s go now!"

Lv Nan Nan nodded and said, "Okay!"

There were about fifteen or sixteen people, not too few, although not all the HR colleagues came since not everyone was available, nor did everyone have a strong connection with Shi Nuan.

Actually, every department has cliques, and Shi Nuan noticed this when she joined HR, but she didn’t care much about it.

In a few cars, everyone squeezed a bit, and they mostly fit, though a female colleague mentioned that everyone needed to drink today, so even the drivers couldn’t find excuses not to drink later.

Tonight nobody goes home sober!

Another colleague advised, "You can drink, but not returning sober is unreasonable since we have work tomorrow!"

"At least we need to get our host drunk, right? No one drunk, how boring!"

Everyone nodded, "That’s a must, absolutely!"

Meanwhile, Shi Nuan didn’t pay attention to their chatter, she just quietly picked up her phone and, while no one noticed, sent a text to Song Yansheng: We’re on our way now!
