Yu Du felt extremely awkward.
He excitedly clicked on the other person's Moments on WeChat, but was immediately dumbfounded when he saw an unfamiliar face.
"Hey sis, are you sure you didn't share the wrong person's profile?" he called Yu Mu.
Yu Mu seemed to be doing something that was making sparks, as Yu Du could hear the sounds of something splattering.
"No, it's definitely Zhou Yi, there's only one Zhou Yi in the whole of S City, how could I possibly get it wrong."
Yu Du, not believing her, described the appearance of the girl he saw on Zhou Yi's Moments, hoping that Yu Mu might have shared someone else's photo by mistake.
But Yu Mu's response instantly shattered that hope.
"No, that's her alright. What's wrong with you? Isn't that who you asked me about?"
Yu Du said "Nothing, wrong person" and hastily hung up.
He lay back on the sofa, his expression indescribably dejected.
Could he ever meet her again?
As he was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, Sister Liu." It was his manager after he signed with Qi's Group.
"Right now? Okay, I'll be right over."
...
Yi Qingju, who had already arrived at the company, happened to receive a message from Qi Xinian's kindergarten teacher, saying that his condition was all good.
After what had happened yesterday, Yi Qingju didn't doubt the doctor's hypnotherapy, but she was still a little worried, so she asked the kindergarten teacher to keep a closer eye on him.
Just as she was about to put her phone away, another message popped up.
It was a voice message, and when she played it, Qi Xinian's childish voice came through: "Woman, you miss me."
Yi Qingju: "..."
So the hypnotherapy just brought back his old bad habit, huh?
She held down the voice message button and said, "How did you get the teacher's phone?"
Instead of another voice message, a text came in after a while.
Teacher: Woman, you can't stop peeing on me, can you?
Yi Qingju: "..." What the heck?
Teacher: Don't disturb me
Apparently, this input method just crawled out of the sewer pit, never leaving behind anything related to that.
Before Yi Qingju could respond, a message popped up: Sorry sorry, I didn't realize it was me, he used my phone
Followed immediately by: But Qi Xinian's mom, Qi Xinian is really so smart, he's just a little kid but he can type already.
Yi Qingju immediately replied modestly: No no, he's really not that outstanding. He just happens to be fluent in eight languages, can recite a thousand Tang and Song poems, has studied math up to junior high level. That's not so impressive haha.
The teacher was stunned, completely blown away, and then said something else before ending the chat. She then crouched down and asked Qi Xinian, "How did you know I was chatting with your mom?"
Qi Xinian was holding hands with An Zuoran, who was chewing on a lollipop that he had brought back from Z Country.
Hearing the question, he answered, "Normally at this time, the teacher usually has a silly look on her face while holding her phone and chatting with her boyfriend, but today she didn't. Instead, she was chatting and frequently glancing at me."
The teacher was dumbstruck, seen right through.
What kind of maxed-out kid is this, who can even reason like that!?
Seeing this, An Zuoran took another piece of candy out of his pocket and nearly shoved it into the teacher's nose, "Teacher, have some candy. Don't worry, it doesn't taste like boogers."
Teacher: "..."
Look, this is what a normal kid is like.
...
The moment Zhou Yi stepped into Qi's Group, someone immediately passed the news to Qi Weiran's ear.
"Have a few people follow him," he spoke.
Although this was Qi's Group's territory, the incident still happened at a kindergarten under his supervision.
So Qi Weiran didn't want to let his guard down, even with Zhou Yi, who had saved Qi Xinian's life.
"Sir, Xiao Zhi's death anniversary is coming up soon. Will you go this year?" Zhang Wei suddenly asked.
To be honest, if it were last year, Zhang Wei would have been certain that his boss would go, but ever since this year when he started paying attention to that woman who had always been just a formality as his wife, Zhang Wei found himself unable to see through him for some reason.
Glancing at the plaster doll that looked exactly like Qi Weiran sitting by the computer, Zhang Wei's expression became even more perplexed.
Drumming his fingers on the desk with no particular rhythm, Qi Weiran thought for a moment.
"I'll go."
Zhang Wei was clearly surprised by this answer.
Unusually, perhaps because he was in a good mood or for some other reason, he actually explained himself briefly.
"No matter what she says, she was the one who saved my life. Based on emotions and reason, I should go visit her."
Zhang Wei nodded and said he understood.
"I'll make the arrangements then."
After he left, Qi Weiran's phone for handling business matters rang.
The caller ID showed it was Yu Mu.
"Hello? I found something interesting, do you want to hear it?"
Qi Weiran put down his pen and leaned back in his chair, clearly impatient as he said, "Speak."
Yu Mu didn't beat around the bush and started talking directly, "I found that the fingerprints on these chips are different from the ones on the plaster doll that the police provided."
"I remember the police handed the person over to you, right? Give me his fingerprints. This guy might have had an accomplice."
Qi Weiran's eyes narrowed. "I see."
The fingerprints left on the plaster doll, unfortunately, the police couldn't identify whose they were.
In this world of information overload, there were actually people who had no records or data.
To be honest, Qi Weiran was quite curious about this perpetrator himself.
"Go to Building 18," he said to Wan Sui while holding his suit jacket with one hand.
Wan Sui's expression changed. "Yes."
Building 18 was rumored to be the Qi family's military experimentation building, and no ordinary employee, including him, was allowed to enter.
But now that Qi Weiran had called him there, did that mean he would be able to access the core levels?
This was a sign of trust. Suppressing the surge of excitement rising in his heart, Wan Sui followed Qi Weiran with a serious expression.
...
At the time when Yi Qingju was interviewing candidates, Xiao Jiji was napping on the desk.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, it jerked its head out of its shell.
Yi Qingju had just finished a round of interviews when it took the opportunity to say, "Host, I sense it."
She paused in her writing, "An evil force has appeared?"
Xiao Jiji: "...No, I vaguely sense the third dimension traveler."
After defeating the Black Veil Path, the energy only reached its body a few days ago, giving it an ability far beyond just being able to see if someone's character setting was inconsistent.
"I am now the Buttoner's Reincarnation Xiao Jiji, and I can roughly guess who it is."
"The human trafficker that Qi Weiran captured might just be the third person!"
A flash of insight struck Yi Qingju.
"Come to think of it, I was so worried about Tuan Tuan at the time that I almost forgot - Zhang Wei said that the human trafficker had a weapon like a laser gun!"
She slammed the table as she stood up.
"A new man has appeared, how can I remain stagnant~"
Some words just came out as a song as she spoke.
In the room, the other people looked at their new boss with bewildered expressions.
The job requirements didn't mention needing singing skills...
