"Why is the traffic so bad?"
Qingque leaned against the window, cupped her face in her hands, and drawled out her words.
Li Ling glanced out the window, then checked the time, and couldn't help but sigh.
Around 5 p.m., during peak population movement, traffic jams are normal.
"I'm afraid we'll be late."
"Ugh! How awful! I should have played a few more rounds of Imperial Jade!"
"Qingque said indignantly."
Li Ling: "???"
What's wrong with this girl's thought process?
Seeing that Li Ling was a little confused, Lin Mo, who was sitting with his legs crossed, chuckled and took a sip of tea, saying, "Hehe, little Ling, you just don't understand."
"For us slackers, being ten minutes late or half an hour late makes no difference. That's why Little Blue Sparrow sighed like that. Since we're already late, why not be late in a more elegant way?"
"Hehe, the one who understands me best is Lin Mo, the Grand Diviner!"
Qingque turned around and gave Lin Mo a thumbs up.
Upon hearing this, Li Ling's lips twitched slightly.
That's really... quite dedicated.
Li Ling admitted that these two people were the two most obsessed with slacking off he had ever met in his life...
Just then, Lin Mo's phone suddenly rang.
He opened the call and found it was from the captain of the Cloud Cavalry. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the other party was probably calling to urge him to attend a meeting.
However, given the current situation, arriving on time is impossible.
"Hello?"
Lin Mo answered the call and deliberately turned on speakerphone.
"Master Lin, the meeting is starting in ten minutes. Where are you now?"
Although it was an expected urging, the Cloud Cavalry captain's tone was not as anxious as anticipated.
Seeing this, Qingque looked at Lin Mo curiously, and Li Ling also became somewhat curious about their conversation.
Actually, while he claimed to be curious, he was quite hoping to see Lin Mo get a good scolding from the person in charge for being late.
Li Ling is quite vengeful.
After all, what he said at the card room just now had dealt a massive blow to his pride.
"We're almost at Xingchahai, but the roads are very congested at this time of day, so we probably won't be able to arrive on time. You guys go to the meeting first, don't worry about me."
Lin Mo said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the Cloud Cavalry Captain sighed slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Master Lin, I'll go and discuss with the two from the Earth Balance Division to see if the meeting can be postponed for a few tens of minutes."
After saying that, the Yunqi captain hung up the phone.
"hiss……"
Lin Mo calmly put away his phone.
Qingque also looked as if she had expected this.
Only Li Ling gasped in shock…
What the heck? The meeting is postponed? For a lowly fortune teller who's late?
He felt his worldview was slightly crumbling. What a joke! He couldn't figure out why the other party would postpone the meeting because of a low-level diviner's lateness.
Just how influential is Lin Mo?
Li Ling's self-esteem suffered another huge blow.
He stood frozen in place, as if petrified.
Seeing this, Lin Mo smiled helplessly.
It seems to be quite effective.
Xiao Lingzi's journey has been far too smooth; she needs some setbacks to extinguish the arrogance that has grown within her.
The reason Qingque was able to remain calm was because Lin Mo had already told her what he had done that night.
To be honest, when Qingque first heard Lin Mo say those words, she found them abstract.
The two of them were inseparable during the day, how could she believe that Lin Mo had set up so many schemes right under her nose?
But reality slapped me in the face.
Everything was pretty much as Lin Mo had said.
From that moment on, Qingque knew that Lin Mo was no ordinary kid.
No, strictly speaking, judging from the bizarre modified formation that Lin Mo brought up at the very beginning, Qing Que had already begun to vaguely sense that something was wrong.
That night, Lin Mo had already laid his cards on the table with her.
What kind of situation is this?
This is like your best buddy who's always playing PUBG and Arena of Valor suddenly telling you one day:
"Hehe, good brother, to tell you the truth, I'm actually a learning genius!"
Then I'll throw the perfect score midterm exam paper in your face!
Can you accept this?
Qingque couldn't, but ultimately had to accept it.
While I was thinking, more than ten minutes passed.
The Star Chariot also happened to arrive at the Construction Bureau.
Led by Lin Mo, the group disembarked from the star raft and headed towards the Bureau of Works and Equipment.
The thought that her brother Li Yuan was also here made Li Ling feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He pulled up the hood behind him, hiding his face underneath.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, Lin Mo couldn't help but tease him, "What's wrong with you? You look like a thief."
To his surprise, Li Ling didn't refute him this time; she simply turned her head away and ignored him.
Lin Mo smiled.
Just then, Qingque reached out and stood on tiptoe, raising her hand to look towards the gate. She vaguely saw several figures standing there.
"Hey, Lin Mo, look! Who's waiting for us up ahead?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.
As the three walked, they looked towards the entrance. When they saw it clearly, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Meanwhile, seeing that Lin Mo and the other two had finally arrived.
Li Yuan and Han Yu from the Earth Balance Division, along with the Cloud Cavalry Captain and Su Chang, all came over.
"Master Lin, you've come at the perfect time. The meeting is about to begin."
