The next day, Qin Wenhuo took Fu Mingxue to her workplace.

When she got out of the car, Fu Mingxue was afraid that Qin Wenhuo would come to pick her up again.

He said it again: "Qin Wenhuo, you really don't need to pick me up after get off work today. I'll drive home by myself."

Qin Wenhuo glanced at her and nodded, "Okay."

He only drove away after he saw Fu Mingxue enter the office.

When Fu Mingxue entered the research institute, she noticed that everyone was looking at her differently.

Someone stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Engineer Fu!"

As soon as he said that, Fu Mingxue knew what was going on.

Sure enough, she saw the research institute's announcement on the special bulletin board.

We arrived at the experimental group.

One by one, the people in the group came over to congratulate her.

When Chang Qingze came over to offer his congratulations, Fu Mingxue also said with a smile, "Team Leader Chang, congratulations to you too!"

After all these years, Chang Qingze should have been promoted from his position as deputy group leader.

However, Chang Qingze himself didn't feel anything about the position of team leader.

After all, with Fu Mingxue as the team leader, his job as the deputy team leader is much easier.

Now that he's the group leader, it means Fu Mingxue is no longer only in charge of their group.

Her main focus is also on managing other research groups.

At this moment, Gu Zhen walked over.

He first offered his congratulations, just like everyone else, "Congratulations, Engineer Fu!"

When Fu Mingxue saw it was him, she said, "Tongxi, Team Leader Gu."

Gu Zhen's expression froze for a moment.

Fu Mingxue, of course, did not miss it.

"Team Leader Gu, didn't you say you needed to see me yesterday? Come on, let's go to my office first."

Gu Zhen nodded.

The two went to Fu Mingxue's office together.

Gu Zhen spoke first.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Li Zhao to do such a thing."

He was heartbroken to see his longtime friend turn out like this.

He's been feeling depressed for the past few days.

It's really hard to let go of.

They were such good friends.

Moreover, he simply couldn't understand how Li Zhao could have done such a thing.

Of course, he didn't forgive either.

Anyway, no matter what, I've lost this friend.

Even if they were best friends before, from the moment Li Zhao betrayed the research institute, they could never be friends again.

Ye Mingda looked at him with a strange expression.

"This isn't your fault, why are you apologizing?"

Gu Zhen still blamed herself, "I was with him every day, and I didn't even notice."

This is what he finds most painful and unacceptable.

He and Li Zhao were almost inseparable.

As a result, he failed to notice anything unusual about Li Zhao.

If he had discovered it sooner—could he have prevented Li Zhao from making a mistake?

Fu Mingxue observed his expression and noticed that he seemed a little off.

It seems that Li Zhao's matter has dealt him a great blow.

"If a highly intelligent person truly wants to hide something, it's impossible for those around them to discover it. Besides, all things considered, you should be thankful—"

Her words puzzled Gu Zhen.

Given all this, what is there for him to be thankful for?

Fu Mingxue looked at him and said, "You should be glad he didn't drag you into this. If he really wanted to harm you, given your relationship, he would have made it impossible for you to defend yourself. He could have gotten you involved in something, and you would have been unable to extricate yourself from this situation and wouldn't be standing here anymore."

Her words made Gu Zhen's eyes clear up a bit.

He then gave a wry smile, "I should thank him for going easy on me."

"Don't say that. Whether a person is good or bad, or whether they are susceptible to temptation, depends on their firm will. If your heart is upright and clear, then no matter what other people's intentions are, they cannot sway you."

This story is about to enter its final countdown.
