Chapter 231 Exploiting Sheep

Gu Yihan sat on the sofa and used her mind to soothe the little hamster that was jumping around in the space.

He glanced at Master Chu sitting opposite him and lied without batting an eye.

He said, "Master Chu, I haven't returned to my family home yet."

Upon hearing this, Master Chu frowned and shook his head, saying, "The news coming back from the family compound is that they haven't seen the little hamster."

After much thought, he realized that only Gu Yihan knew where the little hamster was.

"Waaah... If you dare send me away, I'll kill myself." The little hamster rolled around on the rice bag in the space, acting spoiled.

Gu Yihan really didn't understand. It had been here for over a year, so why did it have to leave?

Master Chu kept his eyes on Gu Yihan and noticed that she was lost in thought.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes as he smiled and played the emotional card: "Comrade Gu, the country is very grateful for your selfless dedication."

"Thanks to the help of the little hamster, there has been a major breakthrough in Chinese medicine, and all of this is inseparable from your trust in the country."

"Sister-in-law, please have some water first."

Before Master Chu could finish speaking, Leng Xiao interrupted him.

Gu Yihan looked up at Leng Xiao, smiled, took the cup from his hand, and said thank you.

Master Chu was angered by Leng Xiao's lack of tact.

Leng Xiao didn't leave either, but shamelessly sat down next to Master Chu.

Gu Yihan took a sip of water, looked up at Master Chu with a cold face, and asked curiously, "The little hamster wouldn't run away from home for no reason."

"Did you do something that displeased it?"

The fact that the hamster was able to stay in the lab for over a year proves that it has something it wants there and won't leave easily.

Master Chu met Gu Yihan's questioning gaze, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Leng Xiao had no intention of hiding anything for his master, and said with a smile, "It's all because of you, teacher. You felt that the little hamster was always thinking about running away lately, so you found it a few girlfriends."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan looked at Master Chu in surprise: "Girlfriend?"

"Nonsense! That old man is no good. He's been with a bunch of female mice!" The little hamster was furious inside the space.

That old bastard, trying to defile its pure body, actually wanted to find it a bunch of female hamsters to have babies.

Those brainless, stupid hamsters are not worthy of it.

Gu Yihan sensed the little hamster's resentment and suppressed a laugh.

"I just suspected it was in heat, so I figured if it had puppies, it wouldn't want to leave," Master Chu explained.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan couldn't help but smile.

Master Chu then asked, "Comrade Gu, are you still able to contact the little hamster?"

Their research institute is now pinning all its hopes on Gu Yihan.

Gu Yihan smiled and shook her head, saying, "Master Chu, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

She wouldn't easily agree to help.

Whether it's a person or an object, things that are too easily obtained are not cherished.

Furthermore, she also wanted to gain some benefits for herself; she couldn't just keep making nice promises without actually getting anything in return.

Master Chu stood up and paced anxiously back and forth in the living room.

Turning to Gu Yihan, he said, "Comrade Gu, as long as you can find the little squirrel, the research institute will reward you with a work quota."

Gu Yihan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Master Chu, let's not even talk about whether I can find the little hamster."

"Even if I find a job, I won't lack work!"

Master Chu's eyes lit up: "Could Comrade Gu find him?"

Gu Yihan lowered her eyes and did not reply.

Of course she can find it.

The little hamster is now fast asleep on the rice bag in the storage space.

They adored this "scratched rat," treating it like a treasure and pampering it. But from Gu Yihan's perspective, it was a scruffy rat that had stolen her space.

Now that it's out there, let's use it to our advantage and take advantage of it first.

When Master Chu saw that Gu Yihan did not give a direct answer, he knew that this matter could not be rushed.

He immediately ordered, "Young man, get one of our work meals and send it back to Comrade Gu."

Leng Xiao smiled and nodded upon hearing this, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Master Chu gave Gu Yihan a deep look.

He said, "Comrade Gu, please let me know once you find the hamster. The country will not let you down."

After saying that, he took out a pre-written phone number from his pocket and handed it to her.

Gu Yihan nodded slightly, smiled, reached out and took it, then stuffed it directly into her pocket.

On the way back to the textile factory

"Sister-in-law, do you really have a way to contact that hamster spirit?" Leng Xiao asked.

"To gather information for your teacher?" Gu Yihan slightly raised her eyelids.

Upon hearing this, Leng Xiao's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened slightly: "Sister-in-law, Brother Lu and I grew up wearing the same pair of pants."

Gu Yihan smiled slightly at Leng Xiao and stopped talking to him.

Accounting Office

Gu Yihan carried her lunchbox straight to her seat, opened it, and a rich aroma instantly filled the entire office.

She stared at the roast duck in the lunchbox, her eyes filled with doubt. Are researchers' meals this good?

Minjie tried hard to control the drool overflowing from her mouth. Her gaze swept intentionally or unintentionally over Gu Yihan, who was eating roast duck.

"Glug."

Gu Yihan heard the sound of swallowing, glanced up at Sister Min who was pretending to look at the account book, and then lowered her head to continue eating.

Wang Guixiang looked at Gu Yihan with envy. She felt like she had eaten lunch for nothing and was hungry again.

"Xiao Han, I'll wait by the door for a while. Call me in when you're finished eating!"

Gu Yihan looked at Wang Guixiang warily. Was this person deliberately trying to get close to her?

A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken is definitely up to no good.

Seeing that Gu Yihan did not reply, Wang Guixiang quickly stood up and went out because of the enticing fragrance.

Otherwise, she was afraid she would be too shameless to ask people for food, because she hadn't eaten meat for a month and was really craving it.

It's time to get off work.

Gu Yihan was packing her bag and had just stepped out of her workstation when Sister Min accidentally tripped over her right foot and fell towards her.

"Ah, Xiaohan, can you catch me?"

Gu Yihan turned around nimbly, perfectly dodging her.

With a "thud," Sister Min fell heavily to the ground.

Wang Guixiang stared wide-eyed at Minjie lying on the ground, then quickly went over to help her up.

Gu Yihan looked at Min Jie, who had stood up, in surprise. She hadn't expected her to be so resilient; despite the fall and the commotion, she had only broken her lip.

"What happened to you? How did you fall down while walking?" Wang Guixiang asked curiously.

"Xiao Han, why didn't you catch the nest?"

Minjie took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiping the blood from her mouth while questioning Gu Yihan.

Gu Yihan was speechless.

They had a falling out over the salary increase issue, but Min-jie seemed to have lost her memory and still thought she would help her.

"I'd rather take the opportunity to kick you while you're down, why would I help you up?"

After saying that, he pushed aside Sister Min who was blocking his way and left the office.
