The subway ad was playing advertisements and news in rotation. Wu Siqi was squeezed in front of the LED screen by the crowd and was forced to watch the news and advertisements that were played in rotation every 20 minutes.

Having not slept well last night, Wu Siqi took the subway in a daze to rush to the event site. The park would open in three days, and she had to catch up on the progress every day. Zhang Li was scolding people at the scene every day, and she was trying to smooth things over every day.

As luck would have it, she arrived just as she saw Zhang Li furiously yelling at a junior executive in her team, "Can you understand the plan? If not, I suggest you change your career. You can't even arrange something so simple wrong. Didn't your team leader give you a new plan?"

You're being a bit specific when you say that. Wu Siqi took a few quick steps and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Li turned to her with the documents in hand and said, "You've come just in time. I remember the new plan was issued two days ago, and you clever little idiots are here with the previous version to tell the workers to install a balloon wall here."

She raised her hand and pointed at the half-filled balloon wall, her tone very explosive: "I said a few days ago that it would be changed into a doll wall, right? Now how are you going to compensate me for the labor hours of this half wall? Are you going to compensate me?" She pointed at the trembling little executive and questioned her.

It wasn't a big deal. Wu Siqi waited for her to calm down and said, "The balloons look pretty. Why not turn it into a balloon doll wall? Don't waste time taking the balloons down. Just insert the dolls in there. Yueyue, video call the designers and ask them for some ideas on how to arrange them to look good."

After sending the poor scolded girl away, Wu Siqi turned to look at Zhang Li, "Don't be angry, she just joined the company not long ago, and this is her first big project. I didn't lead her well. I'm sorry."

She looked gentle on the surface, but she was thinking in her heart, "Team Leader Zhang, you revise the new requirements every other day. How is it possible that there won't be mistakes?"

Then she started talking politely: "It's a good thing that Team Zhang came to the scene so early and discovered this problem in time. Let's go to other places together. We can find and solve the problem in time, right?"

Zhang Li said, "Let's go. It's unlucky to have a problem so early in the morning. But Siqi, you always protect your subordinates like this. When they get into trouble, you take the blame yourself. How can that be okay?"

Wu Siqi: "They don't always do this. They have to give newcomers a chance." She took out a thick stack of plans and drawings from her bag and carefully looked at the layout of each exhibition point.

Although Zhang Li has a temper like a firecracker, she is meticulous and careful in her work arrangements. She gives clear instructions and knows a lot about construction materials. Wu Siqi is always impressed by her most of the time.

There were too many changes in requirements, and some people had more or less old versions in their hands. Wu Siqi and her team members were scolded a lot. When they checked their phones while drinking water, their group was filled with a lot of complaint messages.

[The Strongest Group B]

Sister Jin: I can’t stand her anymore. She just scolds me every day.

Yueyue: I want to cry, please stop it quickly, Siqi, please save me

Lao Gao: No wonder no one wants her even though she’s in her thirties. Is she going through premature menopause?

Nan Nan: [Quote] @老高, you are making personal attacks. She may curse, but she is not targeting the person.

After sending a soothing emoticon to the group, Wu Siqi rubbed her temples to relieve her headache. Dealing with interpersonal relationships has always been her weakness. In the past, she had Xu Tingting, a social expert, to help her, but now she has to do it by herself.

Siqi: Let's get through this together. Think about the bonus for this project. Isn't it very motivating? After the project is finished, I will apply for two days off for everyone, and also treat everyone to a seafood all-you-can-eat meal at the TV tower. Okay? Cheer up.

Xu Tingting hadn't left the group yet. She added: "Come on, come on! The invincible Group B, the indestructible Group B."

Yueyue: Sister Tingting, I miss you, so much.

She put down her phone and continued to follow the Explosive Shooter around the field. She felt that Zhang Li must participate in this year's city marathon. She was full of energy and could curse all day without taking a breath. It would be a waste not to run one.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, she and Zhang Li were checking the process with the stage designer. Sister Jin came over and whispered to Wu Siqi, "Siqi, my husband has to work overtime today. I want to go pick up the kids early."

Wu Siqi was about to agree to her request when Zhang Li next to him said, "The event is imminent and everyone is working overtime. How can you make an exception? I remember your child is almost in sixth grade. Can't he just go home by himself? Why do you need to pick him up? Have you done your job well? It's not allowed!" Her voice was so loud that the workers around looked over.

Sister Jin's face flushed red, she was a little angry but couldn't refute it, she gritted her teeth and said, "I know." Then she turned around and started calling her husband, saying loudly, "The leader of the next group won't let me leave early, you ask your mother to pick up our daughter." She emphasized the words "next group".

Zhang Li ignored her sarcasm and rolled her eyes as she continued to hold the blueprint and let the worker fiddle with the layout. "Point over there, right, hang it up, and weld it here."

Wu Siqi patted Sister Jin's shoulder, shook his head helplessly, and whispered, "Go and take a look at the decoration effect over there. If it's almost done, take the opportunity to leave early."

So she deliberately said loudly: "Then please help me check how the decorative wall of the gate is going and supervise it carefully." She took out that part of the drawing and handed it over.

Sister Jin walked away with the blueprints, "Siqi, it's not okay for you to always take charge of your subordinates like this." Zhang Li pointed at her.

Wu Siqi didn't expect her not to notice: "You've seen the recent news, and the arrangements are almost done anyway, so one less person won't matter."

Zhang Li spread her hands and said, "That's right. Team Leader Wu, you will work overtime for them until the early morning, right?"

"But, do you think work is more important or family is more important?" Zhang Li suddenly asked.

Wu Siqi rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before answering, "I think the correct answer should be work, but if you ask me to choose, I think family is more important."

"You, you actually chose family?" Zhang Li was muttering in shock, while Wu Siqi's attention was attracted by a shadow in the convenience store, where a cat was squatting, a cow cat with a black back and a white belly.

Zhang Li smacked her lips. "How could that hardworking woman like Wu Siqi actually say something like that? You're always the last person to leave work at the company, and you're not in a relationship. So, no matter how you look at it, you prioritize work over anything else."

Wu Siqi didn't care about being misunderstood. She shrugged and smiled. When Zhang Li was about to continue, she interrupted: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Zhang Li opened her mouth, took back what she wanted to say, and said, "Do you want a tissue?" She lowered her head and prepared to reach into her pocket.

Wu Siqi took two steps away from the light and waved his hand, "I have it, no need."

Zhang Li: "Hey, the bathroom is over there..." She raised her hand and pointed in another direction.

Ignoring her words, Wu Siqi was very clear that what she saw was a cat, but the figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. Instinctively, she raised her feet and followed it. The children's playground, which had not yet opened, was unusually quiet except for the exhibition area.

The sun was setting and most places in the park were dark. Fortunately, Wu Siqi had been working here for a while and was quite familiar with the place. With the help of the faint lights in the distance, he turned left and right and walked to the vicinity of the performance stage.

This is the play area, full of children's play facilities, brand new slides, brand new swing benches, brand new climbing frames, and a sand pool that no one has ever played in.

The place has been arranged and is very quiet. Just at this moment, a night breeze blows by, pushing the unmanned Qianqiu, making a creaking sound.

Not even a trace of cat hair was in sight. Wu Siqi laughed at himself for daydreaming again, blew the fallen hair on his forehead aside, and walked back with his hands in his pockets.

As she left the area, it was gradually getting dark. Passing by a fixed stall for throwing darts, she caught a glimpse of a figure behind the curtain out of the corner of her eye. The figure hid again when she approached.

Thief? Wu Siqi's heart tightened. They had a lot of valuable equipment here. They didn't want anyone to sneak in and steal things!

Turning on the flashlight on her phone in her pocket, she quickly pushed aside the curtain and aimed the beam at the man who thought he was hiding well. "Don't move. The park isn't open yet. What are you doing here? Are you trying to steal something?"

The bright light made the person in front of him squint his eyes and raised his palm to block the flashlight. "It's me, Xiaowu, you put it out first."

The bright light of the mobile phone went out, "Why are you here?" Wu Siqi's thoughts were a little confused, and his eyebrows were twisted into a "川" shape.

Yi Ning stood up straight and tugged at the corner of her clothes. Her expression changed several times. She licked her dry lips and asked, "How do you say this?"

Yi Ning: "First of all, I'm not here to follow you, Xiaowu, you have to trust me."

Putting the phone back into his pocket, Wu Siqi raised his head and motioned for her to continue.

Yi Ning rolled his eyes. "Secondly, I came here... well, you know about the recent missing children incidents, right?"

Wu Siqi nodded to show that he understood. Yi Ning scratched his head and said, "I have a friend who works at the police station. Mmm, it's kind of like work there. She found some clues and asked me to come over here to take a look. So I'm here."

She spoke very clearly, and Wu Siqi hummed. It was dark in the stall and she couldn't see the other person's face clearly. She blinked her eyes obscurely and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Xiaowu, let's go out first. It's so stuffy in here. You look like you're sweating." Yi Ning reached out and pulled her sleeve.

The curtains were opened, and the moonlight had spread out completely. The sky darkened, and in a place without light pollution, the stars were particularly bright.

Leaving the cramped environment, both of them felt a little embarrassed. Wu Siqi crossed his arms and Yi Ning stood straight.

As if he had thought of something, Yi Ning raised the corner of his lips again, and said in a relaxed tone: "I didn't expect that Xiao Wu would catch me so quickly."

"This isn't the exhibition area, why are you here, Xiaowu?" She muttered softly, "I was clearly avoiding that area."

Wu Siqi glanced at her. Her light blue shirt suited her perfectly, and her fair face still looked carefree. She said, "I've been so busy, I want to take a breath and walk around."

Wu Siqi: "How did you get in? Did you climb over the wall?"

Yi Ning nodded. It could be considered as climbing over a wall. Part of the wall facing the street of the park was made of wrought iron railings. She could easily get in by turning into a cat. The only thing was that the roses planted on it were a bit prickly. No, a bit prickly for cats.

"So have you found out anything?" Wu Siqi lowered his eyebrows and looked at her. This person did not look haggard, nor was she unhappy. She was still doing well.

Yi Ning pondered for a moment and whispered, "There are some clues, but it might hinder your work progress and cause you some trouble."

This statement was very strange. Wu Siqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
