Here.

  When Gu Mang heard Jiang Shenyuan’s words, she asked with an indifferent look. “Is it so?”


  It was rather cold.

  Jiang Shenyuan only mentioned it casually. They were here today to discuss serious matters.

  They didn’t engage in much small talk.

  Ji Heng and Jiang Shenyuan retrieved the files from their bag and showed Gu Mang the list of core issues they had for Gu Mang.

  The several large financial corporations had many internal issues and their network of relationships were largely intertwined.

  Only Gu Mang could make the decision as to which employees could be trusted.

  Those that could stay at the villa had gone through various rounds of selection before being placed by Gu Mang’s side.

  They all had their discussions in the hall.

  Several names on the document were crossed out while some were circled.

  For two hours, the three of them worked nonstop.

  When the servants came with breakfast, they ate at the coffee table.

  After the discussion, Jiang Shenyuan and Ji Heng got up to leave.

  Gu Mang went to the laboratory to calculate some data.

  When she came down for lunch at noon, she saw Bai Sui return from outside.

  “Young Lady.” Bai Sui took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully.

  Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. “You’re back.”


  Bai Sui looked at her. “Yes.”


  Lunch was already served on the table.

  The two of them walked over.

  Bai Sui hesitated for a few seconds, then he suddenly turned to look at Gu Mang. “Young Lady, have you really forgotten who I am?”


  When Gu Mang heard that, she paused and looked at his face.

  Bai Sui’s face was very ordinary and his looks did not stand out. He did not look like someone who could gain the attention of others and his appearance did not leave a lasting impression.

  Gu Mang really could not remember much about him.

  Bai Sui waited for over ten seconds. Upon seeing that she did not respond, he started speaking again. “I used to train at Base 102. As my qualifications were bad, I had to go through it with several batches of students before I passed. The last time I trained, I was in the same cohort as you.”


  During training, everyone’s face was so heavily smeared with camouflage paint so there was no way to tell people apart.

  But Bai Sui had been the tallest person in Gu Mang’s cohort that time and he was the only person who had a number given to him.

  It was because he had already gone through the training with several cohorts of students and he had also taken the assessment before.

  Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. “F059?”


  Base 102 ranked people by their qualifications and an alphabetical ranking was also given to them. An F rank showed that he was indeed really bad.

  Seeing that Gu Mang had remembered, a surprised expression appeared on Bai Sui’s cold face. “I thought that you had forgotten about me.”


  There were some things that you wouldn’t really remember unless you intentionally thought about them.

  “Which branch of the Bai family are you from?” Gu Mang asked rather casually.

  Bai Sui went silent for a while, then he said, “Young Lady, I am not from the Bai family…”


  When Gu Mang heard this, she wasn’t surprised.

  Even those in different branches of the Bai family had outstanding appearances. Bai Sui looked really ordinary and he did not look like one of them.

  She squeezed her wrist. “External member?”


  The various big families had external members. Their performances were outstanding and they would change their family name to their vassal family’s.

  Bai Sui was an external member and his qualifications were also average.

  He must have put in a lot of hard work to be so highly valued by Old Master Bai now such that he held an important position in the Bai family’s military drill ground.

  “Yes.” After Bai Sui said that, he hesitated.

  It was as if what he was about to say was very important.

  He looked at Gu Mang rather cautiously. “Young Lady, Lu Chengzhou is my cousin.”


  Gu Mang paused suddenly and narrowed her eyes. She swept her eyes over with a sharp look.

  She had guessed before that Bai Sui knew her.

  So she had never raised any suspicions about some of his weird behaviors.

  It was normal for people of the Bai family, and especially those that Old Master Bai worked closely with, to have seen her before unintentionally.

  But she had never thought that he’d be associated with Lu Chengzhou.

  Gu Mang’s eyes were dark and cold. “Are you from the Ye family?”
