"Didn't I tell you before to see if the newspaper could send one of your own people? Has anything happened? Just say the word if you need anything," Yue Lanxing asked.
Zhao Mutou's eyes darted around. "I've been observing. People from those newspapers are hard to approach. People avoid me because of my past. So I'm going to try a different approach now."
"I won't go into the details, just wait for news, Brother Yue." Zhao Mutou straightened his back a bit as he said this, seemingly very confident in himself.
Yue Lanxing could tell from his behavior that he had connections. "Okay, I'll wait for your news." Then she left.
After Yue Lanxing returned to the company, he put the envelope in his car and didn't take it down. It was better not to talk about this in the office. The young lady was already very tired from doing experiments, and it wouldn't be good to distract her at this time.
Yue Lanxing walked into the duty room, poured himself a glass of water, and then sat down to vent his frustration. "Has the young lady been in the lab all this time?" he asked immediately after finishing his water.
"I ate lunch at the cafeteria, nothing else," Tashiro replied.
Yue Lanxing nodded, then stopped talking. Tian Shi didn't continue the conversation either. He was holding a book with pictures of guns in it.
The lab closed early today, and everyone left work as usual. Yue Lanxing took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat, Xue Huzi was in the passenger seat, and Tian Dai was still going to drop off Cui Bai.
"Miss, there's been some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate." Yue Lanxing got out of the car and took the envelope to open the door for the young lady.
Xu Zhaoyue looked at the envelope handed to her, opened it to see what was inside, but only took out one photo. Seeing that it showed Zhang Pei and a woman, she immediately stuffed the photo back in the study and said, "Let's talk in the study."
"Yes, Miss." Yue Lanxing followed the young lady into the study. Xue Huzi, who was behind her, was a little puzzled. How come Brother Yue always got to talk to the young lady? Being capable really makes a difference.
After Xu Zhaoyue entered the study, she sat on the sofa, and Yue Lanxing followed her. The feeling of sitting together at eye level was like chatting with a friend, which made Yue Lanxing feel closer to the young lady.
Even when the young lady sat behind his desk, just one table away, he felt she was very far away. Just as Yue Lanxing was feeling melancholy, Xu Zhaoyue laid out the photos on the table. "These photos have really tricky angles," she said.
Xu Zhaoyue's complaints made Yue Lanxing refocus his attention on the photos. He hadn't noticed them when he first looked at them, but now that he looked at them again, they were indeed tricky. They were either taken from an upward angle, as if he were lying on the ground, or they were taken through gaps behind plants.
"Cough cough, it must have been tough on him." Yue Lanxing thought it was fortunate that Zhao Mutou was thin, otherwise a strong man lying on the ground would have been too conspicuous, and it would have been obvious that he was really putting in a lot of effort.
Xu Zhaoyue could guess that Yue Lanxing had hired someone to take the photos, and it seemed that they were quite capable. "Alright, tell me quickly what their relationship is?"
"Her name is Xie Yingying. She is the daughter of the deputy editor-in-chief of Tomorrow Daily. Zhang Pei's promotion to deputy editor must have been due to the deputy editor-in-chief's support. However, he and Xie Yingying are not dating outside the office. They both work for Tomorrow Daily and are using the newspaper's name as a cover for their actual dating."
Xu Zhaoyue nodded, "Let's leave this matter here for now. Xiaoyun is preparing for a design competition recently. Seeing how blatant Zhang Pei is, he probably knows that Xiaoyun doesn't have time to pay attention to him right now. Tch."
Yue Lanxing watched the young lady's disdainful expression and felt inexplicably embarrassed to speak. Just then, Xiao Nan knocked on the door and came in.
"Miss, the He family has sent an invitation. Miss He will be back in a few days, and the He family is going to hold a banquet." Xiao Nan handed a red invitation to Xu Zhaoyue.
Xu Zhaoyue opened it and saw, "August 6th, there's still more than half a month left. Is she coming back earlier this year than before?" Xiao Nan thought for a moment and it seemed that was indeed the case. "Hmm, she used to come back in September or October. Why is she a month earlier this year?"
Xu Zhaoyue looked at the date on the invitation and said, "Oh, Kaiyuan is the same age as Xiaohao. He must be here early this year because of university. One invitation can bring two people. I'll let Xiaohao come along too."
“By the way, Xiao Hao…” Xu Zhaoyue paused, seemingly thinking about something, and Yue Lanxing quickly added, “I’ve already found the hotel where the young master is staying and left a note for Li Qi.”
"Well, he'll be filling out college applications soon. I wonder what he's thinking. Speaking of which, Xuanxuan is really amazing; she's already started studying." Xu Zhaoyue knew Xiaohao was alright, so she wasn't worried about him.
"She's not a troublesome child." Yue Lanxing acknowledged Yue Xuanxuan's abilities, noting that she had always been sensible and never cried or made a fuss when she was little.
Xu Zhaoyue handed the invitation to Xiaonan again, saying, "Keep it safe. Let's put together a few outfits first, and make a list of gifts and such. I don't have the mind to think about these things these days."
"Yes, Miss." Xiao Nan then left.
The He family gathering has to be postponed. Xu Zhaoyue just wants to pick a photo that isn't obviously taken from a hidden angle. "So many photos are obviously taken secretly. If I give them to Xiaoyun, it will look like I specially sent someone to investigate."
"How could that be! Miss just wanted to find out what the deputy editor's position was, she had no intention of investigating him at all. But people with problems will eventually slip up."
Yue Lanxing's first reaction was to explain on behalf of the young lady. Xu Zhaoyue was just teasing him, but he didn't expect her reaction to be even more excited than his. Xu Zhaoyue thought that besides Xiao Nan and Wu Ma, there was another person who could rationalize her behavior.
