Chapter 78 Undercurrent



"Tsk, Yan Yu, you think you are a good person, as if it wasn't you who complained when they weren't here just now?" You Lu glanced at him with disdain, feeling disgusted by his two-faced behavior.

"I was just saying it casually because I was anxious. Who knew you would take it seriously? Forget it, let's go to the meeting! If you argue for a while, I'll go home directly." Yan Yu acted like a big man who didn't care about the little guy's mistakes. He waved his hand, stood up and went into the office.

You Lu was so angry at his dead look that she stomped her feet. She was angry but helpless and followed him into the office.

They waited for several minutes before the mayor finally arrived. He sat down and first greeted the four people. Then he began to speak in an official tone: "The main reason for delaying everyone today is because of Professor Yan's matter. According to the results of the discussion between the military district and the town, in order to facilitate Professor Yan's daily experiments, we will arrange Professor Yan's office and residence in the military district. At the same time, we also need to trouble two comrades from our town to discuss whether they should live in the military district or get up a little earlier every day to go there."

You Lu and Yan Yu seemed to be caught off guard by how things would turn out. Since they were in town for the meeting, shouldn't the office be located there?

Do they have to get up early and run to the military area?

It was freezing cold, and not only was the road difficult to walk on, it was even difficult to get up in the morning.

You Lu first proposed an opinion: "Mayor, can't we let Professor Yan work in the town? The accommodation conditions in the town are definitely..." better than those in the military area. She quickly stopped herself from saying the following words. Although her mind was not quick, she knew that she would definitely be scolded if she said this.

"Xiao Lu, who do you think is the leader between us? This is the result of a joint discussion between the town and the military district. If you can't accept it, change someone as soon as possible." The mayor's face was not very good. It was the first time that someone openly opposed his opinion. Moreover, the way this child spoke, he would definitely offend people if he went to the military district.

"Yes, You Lu, why do you want to do this job if you can't even bear this little hardship? There are comrades who need jobs lining up. If you can't do it, I will introduce one to you." Yan Yu said gloatingly.

The mayor looked at the two people with a headache, wanting to end the conversation as quickly as possible. "This is just a work arrangement. The specific location has been arranged by the military district. If you can accept it, you can go back and prepare your own bed and clothes. Report to the military district committee on time at 2 pm. A specialist will receive you and take you to the prepared office location. Also, Professor Yan will arrive on Wednesday. We have worked so hard to invite him here, so I still hope that you will make serious preparations. It would be best if you hold a welcoming party when he arrives to show that we value him."

Song Zhi and Ma Weicheng looked at each other and said in unison: "Okay, Mayor, we promise to complete the task."

The mayor saw that the two people sent by the military district were not only quiet but also had strong execution ability. Then he looked at the two people from his own family and felt so upset that he couldn't even describe them as annoying.

"I didn't expect that these two people's brains are not very useful." Ma Weicheng suddenly said with a smile on the road.

"Who knows if he really has a bad brain or is just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger? Don't forget that there is only one assistant in the end." Song Zhi reminded him lightly.

This is also what Deng Lin told her when she informed her to go to work. Professor Yan does not need so many assistants. The four of them are competing for the position. Deng Lin said that there is room for negotiation. As long as they study well, two, three or four people may be hired. Song Zhi did not believe this.

"I didn't expect you to remind me that we are competitors after all." Ma Weicheng looked at Song Zhi carefully this time.

He was a little confused about this woman's thoughts. Did she want to be an assistant or not? If she did, why hadn't she ever considered proving herself? Was she lacking in ability? Not entirely. If she didn't want to be an assistant, then there was no reason. Was she just here for fun? That couldn't be possible. She looked very serious.

Let’s wait and see, time is the standard for testing everything.

"Although we are competitors, it does not prevent us from being colleagues now." Song Zhi glanced at him and stated this fact expressionlessly.

"Then wish us all the best?"

When Song Zhi got home at noon, Gu Huaijin had already prepared dinner and was about to eat.

"Why did you come back at noon?" Gu Huaijin thought something had happened when he saw Song Zhi come in.

"You didn't expect that. I'll come back for a meal and then continue working in the afternoon. Do you know where the office is?" Song Zhi asked with a smile.

"where?"

"Military compound, if nothing unexpected happens, we will be working in the same place." There was a smile in Song Zhi's fox eyes, and there was joy in his eyes.

"Um."

Song Zhi couldn't figure out what Gu Huaijin meant by "hmm"? He did understand, but Song Zhi was very dissatisfied with his reaction.

"Aren't you surprised at all?"

Seeing that she was a little persistent about this question, Gu Huaijin looked up at her and said, "It's a surprise."

"Why do you look so calm to me?" Song Zhi stared at his facial expression, but Gu Huaijin did not move at all.

Song Zhi felt that he was overthinking. How could he be so kind?

Gu Huaijin first served a bowl of rice and placed it next to Song Zhi. Song Zhi looked down at the soup noodles and thought, "Hmm... it's very light."

"Not to your liking?" Gu Huaijin asked softly as he saw her staring at the noodles without moving her chopsticks.

"A little too bland." Song Zhi struggled, but still spoke out what was in his heart.

"Eating something light is good for your health. You ate such spicy food yesterday. You should take care of your stomach more often to stay healthy." Gu Huaijin lied without blushing or beating his heart, without revealing his cooking skills at all. After all, he didn't study cooking systematically like Song Zhi, but he was telling the truth.

Song Zhi's expression cracked for a moment. No way! This is a way to maintain health, but now she is still young, it is time to enjoy eating all the delicious food in the world.

But she quickly adjusted herself to the situation. After all, she was too lazy to cook, so she went to the kitchen to find a bottle of chili sauce and mixed it into the noodles. To be honest, she really liked spicy food.
