"My God, that's...Teacher Gu? I'm not seeing things, am I?"

"I'm more curious about who's talking to Teacher Gu on the phone than about Teacher Gu."

"Do you think... it could be Assistant Zhou?"

"Cough, cough..." Tai'an coughed violently for a while, then tapped on the table to attract everyone's attention.

"Is this meeting still going to be held? If not, I'm leaving!"

The crowd, who had been chattering away just moments before, immediately fell silent.

Mr. Tai only comes once a month. They all have accounts to submit and are waiting for his signature.

...

Meanwhile, Gu Yao returned to his office after leaving the meeting.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he listened quietly to the sounds from the other side with a smile on his face.

He only said "Congratulations" after the other end stopped.

"By the way, did I interfere with your work?" After the initial excitement subsided, Zhou Chunhua realized that she had made the call rashly.

It's worth noting that Junhe holds an all-staff meeting on the last day of every month.

Today happens to be the 30th.

At this time, Gu Yao should be in a meeting.

It's all my fault for getting too excited and forgetting about this.

She slapped her forehead and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was so happy that I forgot you have a meeting on this day every month. You're busy, I'll hang up now."

Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Gu Yao say, "I happen to be out today and not at the law firm, so it's okay."

"Really? Then... what do you want to eat tonight? Let's have a good meal and celebrate." Zhou Chunhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Okay. Where are you now? I’ll come pick you up and we’ll go grocery shopping together,” Gu Yao said.

"Aren't you out running errands? No need, you go ahead with your business, I can go by myself."

"I've finished my business. Tai'an is at the station today, and I was just thinking of going home to take a break for the day."

"Oh, is that so? Okay, I'll go to Walmart now, we'll meet there." After hearing Gu Yao's reply, Zhou Chunhua excitedly added, "Okay. I'll send Nana a WeChat message and tell her to come back early today too."

After saying that, she hung up the phone and got into a taxi.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yao sent a WeChat message to Tai'an, grabbed his car keys, and left Junhe without hesitation.

Tai'an, who was dozing off in the conference room, woke up instantly after receiving a WeChat message from Gu Yao.

When he hurriedly dialed Gu Yao's number, he was met with the realization that he had already been blocked.

Tai'an was so angry that he scratched his head and cheeks. Gu Yao, who was blinded by lust, was simply making things difficult for him!

He's just a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun; how could he possibly understand all this nonsense about law firms?

As Gu Yao drove to Walmart, he quickly typed a message with one hand and sent it.

The next second, the phone rang.

"Attorney Gu, can I rest for a couple of days? You make me work overtime like this every day, I'm so tired!"

"You're making money and still complaining about being tired?"

"I really don't want to earn this money! All I want to do right now is get a good night's sleep. Bro, can you find someone else to torment me? I really can't take it anymore. That girl has a terrible temper, if I make her work overtime again, she'll kill me, won't she? Yao, I want to live a few more years."

"If you let her come back today, you can spend the rest of your life in jail starting tomorrow." After saying that, Gu Yao hung up the phone.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After receiving the bank's notification that the funds had been deposited, Liao Nanxing rushed to the hospital.

On the way, Liao Nande received a phone call from Xu Xiuzhen.

Xu Xiuzhen, unaware that Su Mu was seriously injured and hospitalized, complained about the exhaustion of traveling to and from the hospital every day and the hospital's constant demands for payment, while urging him to quickly call Su Mu back to take care of the child.

"Okay, I'll come and pay right away." Liao Nanxing hung up the phone before the old lady could finish speaking.

After arriving at the hospital, I paid off all the money I owed.

The 50,000 yuan I just received has vanished by 20,000 in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the pitifully small balance in the text messages on my phone, I shook my head in regret.

If he had known it would end like this, he would have just taken the money and left, saving those two dollars.

Now things are really messed up. Not only is the 20,000 yuan gone, but who knows how much the subsequent treatment costs will be?

...

Walmart.

Zhou Chunhua, in high spirits, was already selecting ingredients for tonight's meal.

The phone rang; it was Juliana calling.

She pressed the answer button and couldn't wait to tell Juliana the good news.

Juliana, who was so tired that she didn't even want to talk, became happy after hearing the news.

"Really? That's great! Hua Hua, you can finally get away from that scumbag. Let me tell you, once I finish these big orders, I'm definitely going to treat you to something nice!"

"What could be better than home-cooked food? I'm at the supermarket now, I'll be back early tonight so we can have a proper celebration."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you really haven't eaten anything good. You can't even understand what they're saying. Oh well, when the time comes, I'll have NO Wang give you a good dance!"

But Huahua, I can't come back today either. That darn client just called and wants me to come over again; I don't know how late it will take. I'm sorry I can't celebrate with you today.

"Wait until I'm done with these next few days, then I'll make it up to you."

"Oh, it's alright. Work is important, you go ahead and do your thing." Zhou Chunhua hung up the phone.

That day, Zhou Chunhua hummed a tune while cooking.

It wasn't because she was free, but because she could finally go find Nini on her own.
