"Hey, do you guys think that thing might actually be true?"

"Who knows! I think those two weren't ordinary people. Maybe they really were sent by higher-ups to investigate."

"If a real problem is found, do you think Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao will still be able to stay in the army? Will he be expelled?"

"Hey! The old folks always say that you should marry a virtuous wife, not just a pretty face. You know, Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao used to be a good man, but ever since he got married, he's started to live extravagantly."

Only those two said such things, and they knew that not everyone agreed with them, so they only chatted with like-minded people.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiangdong and his group had already arrived at the Xiao family's residence, where Gu An'an had prepared sweet soup and was waiting for them.

"Xiao Gu, I've brought you your royalties."

Just as he reached the door, Qin Xiangdong suddenly shouted something, which immediately reached the ears of the onlookers.

"Uncle Qin, you can just have someone give it to me. There's no need for you to make the trip yourself."

With her backer arriving, Gu An'an smiled sweetly, but Qin Xiangdong could only laugh. If the young couple hadn't specifically called to ask them to cooperate, he would have actually believed this nonsense.

"Of course I have to come in person. Xiao Gu, you're a senior translator now, a rare talent. If I dare to neglect you, what will happen if you stop translating for us in the future?"

He was telling the truth. Few people know that Gu An'an has this ability yet. Once other units know about her abilities, she might actually have to wait in line for jobs in the future.

As soon as he entered the room, Qin Xiangdong handed over the previous manuscript fee to Gu An'an, saying, "Check if there are any mistakes."

Gu An'an took the envelope and put it aside. "How could Uncle Qin possibly cheat me? There's no need to count."

He looks so generous; he doesn't seem short of money at all.

"By the way, this is Comrade Li Hai. He was in charge of translating all the documents for our unit before, and he's also the one who reviewed your manuscript this time. Knowing that I was coming to your place, he insisted on coming to meet you, this genius."
