Chapter 1227: The One You Love Most Is the Furthest Away

That night, Mu Anhan didn’t return to the bedroom; she slept in the study room.

The next morning, after she woke up, Gu Xiaozhan had unknowingly carried her back to the bedroom to sleep, and he had already gone to work.

Actually, he still cares about her, doesn’t he?

As Mu Anhan thought about this, a smile appeared on her cheeks.

Mu Shaochen had already sent a message: [Little sister, what’s going on with Lu Lu? How did she end up working in the company’s R&D department?]

Mu Anhan instantly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

How could this be?

She wanted to work in the company’s R&D department, but Gu Xiaozhan wouldn’t allow it.

Yet, as soon as Lu Lu returned, he gave her such an important job.

She gripped her phone tightly, yet couldn’t type a word for a long time.

She didn’t know how to explain it to her third brother.

After a while, she finally calmed her emotions.

[Third Brother, I’m not clear yet either, let me ask Xiao Zhan tonight and then I’ll let you know.]

Mu Shaochen: [This woman doesn’t seem to have good intentions.]

Mu Anhan: [I trust Xiao Zhan’s character.]

As she was typing this line, her fingers trembled inexplicably.

She trusts his character, but what about him?

[Third Brother, do you know where Wang Kangyan, the former head of the R&D department, went?]

Mu Shaochen: [I can’t find out. Probably only Mr. Gu knows.]

Mu Anhan replied with one word: [Okay.]

She originally planned to wait for Gu Xiaozhan to come back in the evening to ask him clearly, but she couldn’t wait.

She turned on the computer and accessed the company’s personnel system.

Yesterday, a young male university graduate was hired into the R&D department.

She took a screenshot.

She put on makeup.

A black hoodie, a pair of oversized black-framed glasses, and she made herself look about eighty percent like a university student.

She sent a message to Mu Shaochen: [Third Brother, help me delay him from coming to work for now.]

Mu Shaochen had always listened to her for everything, [Okay.]

Mu Anhan, posing as a fresh university graduate, arrived at the R&D department, which she was already very familiar with.

Everyone was busy, and no one paid attention to her.

Lu Lu arrived as Vice Manager, dressed in a sharp three-piece business suit.

Since Wang Kangyan left, the manager position had been vacant.

The former Vice Manager Ma Bin was leading the entire R&D department, and now Lu Lu had parachuted in, standing on equal footing with him.

Moreover, Lu Lu’s condescending attitude made the whole R&D team feel uncomfortable.

"Vice Manager Ma, hello! I’m a newcomer here to report." Mu Anhan knocked on his office door.

Ma Bin glanced at her, "Find a seat outside! I’ll have someone assist you, but pay attention here. We do team collaboration development, no room for individual heroism."

"Understood!" Mu Anhan immediately nodded.

She went out, found a seat, opened her laptop, and started working.

In fact, during the days Gu Xiaozhan didn’t allow her to work in the office, she still did R&D at home. Now, picking it up again and continuing, she didn’t feel rusty at all.

At two in the afternoon.

Lu Lu walked out of her office: "Everyone, Gu Zong will be coming to attend our R&D meeting."

Everyone remained silent.

"Don’t worry! With me here, Gu Zong won’t scold you," Lu Lu announced with an air of authority.

Meeting room.

Gu Xiaozhan sat in the top seat.

Ma Bin and Lu Lu sat on his left and right, respectively, while Mu Anhan sat at the far end, the farthest from him.

"The task assigned by Gu Zong, we will definitely not fail his trust, and strive to succeed in research and development within a month," Lu Lu boasted.
