Can I say that I actually have some reservations?
However, if it were actually said out loud, this little dumpling would probably burst into tears.
Ye Wanying's lips twitched for a while before she finally spoke:
"No, no, how could Mommy dislike our little dumpling? Why don't you read a book for a while? Mommy will go wash up and come out to play with you later."
"Um."
This time, the little guy readily agreed.
......
Meanwhile, they had already arrived at the main hospital.
Gao Danxian borrowed the phone in the main hospital's duty room and dialed the XX Institute. Coincidentally, Zhao Shuai was on duty at the XX Institute tonight, so he didn't need to wait for someone to call him after receiving the call.
"Boss?"
"It's me."
At Institute X, Zhao Shuai was completely thrown into turmoil when he suddenly received a call from Gao Dan:
"What... has happened again?"
There was nothing he could do; so many things had happened lately, especially the incident he'd stumbled upon during his investigation. Ever since he'd led his men back to City B overnight, Zhao Shuai hadn't dared to call the capital.
"Nothing's wrong for now, and some of it has nothing to do with us."
Upon hearing this from the other end of the phone, Zhao Shuai breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into his chair, feeling weak.
These days, Zhao Shuai is on edge, worried that something unexpected might happen at any moment, and he has to keep this news from everyone, after all, what if the news leaks out?
"How well is our X institute prepared for this joint operation involving various departments?"
This is Gao Dan's biggest concern right now. Although Gao Dan himself will not be involved this time, there are still people from Institute X who will participate.
"Don't worry, boss, everything is prepared. There are fewer people from X this year than in previous years, just Hao Gang and a few others. They're getting extra help from Li Hu and Zhou Dalong every day."
"Shouldn't the pig farmer leave?"
Pig farmer?
Zhao Shuai instantly realized who the pig farmer his boss was referring to was:
"Ahem, that kid Gu Yujin is already on the registration list. If nothing unexpected happens, he will successfully stay in our X Institute's guard team."
That's absolutely true. And Gu Yujin didn't take any shortcuts; he reported his status step by step through proper channels. Are you suggesting we use underhanded methods to remove him from office?
Zhao Shuai said he couldn't do it; if it was to be done, the boss should come back and do it himself.
After all, Zhao Lan is still her aunt, and Gu Yujin is her cousin.
Gao Dan paused, his face already quite somber, but he understood that what Gu Yujin had left behind was now a foregone conclusion.
Even if we don't get through on our end, we still have Gu Beiwang and Old Master Gu.
The only thing that makes sense is that Gu Yujin's guardianship has now been transferred from Zhao Lan to Gu Beiwang.
Gao Dan could turn a blind eye to Zhao Lan's behavior if he didn't have direct contact with her.
"Let's leave it at that for now." With that, she was about to hang up the phone.
So frustrating!
"Wait, wait, boss." Zhao Shuai called out to him.
Gao Dan frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Um... Boss... I... I just wanted to ask... about... that... that matter..."
Zhao Shuai was still not entirely at ease about that matter, and he was now cautiously and haltingly trying to find out more.
Gao Dan and Zhao Shuai had worked together for many years; they could understand each other's intentions even from a mere pout. So, how could they not know what the other was thinking?
"As I just said, there's nothing to worry about. The fire won't reach our XX Institute."
