Linghu Lan's heart suddenly stopped beating.

The day has finally come.

"Okay, I understand. When is the reporting date?"

"You have two days to prepare. Just to be on the safe side, we will send a few security personnel to pick you up. Once you arrive at headquarters, we will first take a series of videos. These videos can be used if your parents need them."

"Good! You've thought of everything very thoroughly!" Linghu Lan felt slightly relieved. Even the most perfect plan can fall apart at times, so it's always good to be prepared.

I hung up the phone.

When Linghu Lan turned around, her mother was already standing behind her.

For some reason, Lan's mother could tell from her daughter's expression that this phone call was not simple. Sure enough, after hanging up the phone, her daughter was already filled with an aura of parting.

Sometimes, people don't need to say much; the atmosphere speaks for itself.

"Was that a call from the company just now?"

"Yes, the project has already started."

Lan's mother's heart skipped a beat. Although she had expected it, hearing it with her own ears was still unbearable. She pretended to be nonchalant and turned away to get busy.

"Oh dear, you should hurry up and wash the clothes that need washing and pack the things that need packing. Make sure you take your medicine with you. You won't be able to take it while you're out and about without your mother supervising you."

"Mom!" Linghu Lan called softly.

Lan's mother stopped what she was doing.

Linghu Lan walked over and gently hugged her mother's shoulders. She felt once again how frail her mother was and how much pressure she had been under for the past three years. "Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong," Linghu Lan deeply understood the meaning of this saying.

Lan's mother did not turn around, because her face was already covered in tears.

"Mom, don't worry, I promise. After I finish this job, I'll find a job near you and won't go anywhere else, okay?"

A lump in her throat prevented Lan Ma from saying a word. She patted Linghu Lan's hand and after a long while said, "As long as you're happy."

Linghu Lan felt a lump in her throat; as parents, this was their simplest wish.

However, the next second, Linghu Lan realized that she had been naive again.

Lan's mother wiped away her tears, as if afraid that Linghu Lan would go back on her word, and said fiercely, "It's settled then. If you dare to look for a job in another place, I'll teach you a lesson. Your father and I will each take a rolling pin and a spatula. Are you scared?"

"Scared, scared, scared! You two don't need to clean me up, I'll obediently roll back here. Here's a card, Mom, take it." Linghu Lan quickly changed the subject and stuffed a card into her mother's hand.

"What is this?" Lan's mother was a little confused.

"There's 200,000 yuan in the bank card, Mom. Take it and pay off your debts!"

"Two hundred thousand!" Lan's mother held the card, feeling its heat. She missed her own spatula; that one gave her a sense of security. "Where did you get the money? Did you rob a bank?"

Linghu Lan: "..."

In her mother's eyes, she could never be cool, arrogant, or awesome. Couldn't she earn 200,000 yuan on her own?

This 200,000 yuan is Linghu Lan's salary for the past two months at Nano. Although the time travel hasn't officially started yet, the labor contract has already been implemented. It's just a pity that Lan's mother can't be told now, otherwise, it will scare her.

"No, it was my salary that I received in advance from the company. The company knew I was going to sue, so they agreed."
