The next day.

  Gu Mang woke up rather early. She had to attend a meeting at the Elders’ Association Council House at 8am.

  Lu Chengzhou had already seen her agenda for the day. It was rather packed.

  She had two meetings, one big and one small, and two interviews. She also had to review several essential departments.

  It wasn’t easy being the Director.

  When Gu Mang was brushing her teeth, Lu Chengzhou leaned lazily against the door with his arms crossed. His fringe was a little messy and its shadow fell on his eyebrows.

  He looked at Gu Mang in the mirror and said rather jokingly. “Sister Mang, you’re such a busy professional.”


  Gu Mang stopped her movements and spat out a mouthful of foam. Without even looking up, she answered. “Brother Cheng, there are plenty of instances in history where we can draw experience from, such as King Zhou of Shang and King You of Zhou.”


  “They have all been proven to be good.” Lu Chengzhou raised his brows and added, “Because they dote on their wife.”


  Gu Mang tightened her grip around the toothbrush.

  The two of them probably did not even think that their names would be cleared in such a manner.

  Lu Chengzhou smirked and stared at Gu Mang. “In fact, I never felt anything for them in the past. But now, I find these two wise sages rather respectable.”


  It was not difficult to understand why King You of Zhou abused his use of warning beacons and lost the trust of the nobles.

  One of the words sounded wrong.

  Gu Mang looked at him coldly.

  “Give Sister Mang the name of someone who is so beautiful that ambitious men fail.” Lu Chengzhou laughed like a demon. “I will obey Sister Mang’s commands and learn better from my predecessors.”


  Gu Mang stared at him.

  Lu Chengzhou continued, “It’s pretty good if I were to go down in history because of you some day.”


  His name will forever be associated with her.

  He spoke as if King Zhou of Shang and King You of Zhou were his role models.

  Gu Mang stared at him.

  The girl rinsed her mouth and threw two handfuls of water on her face at random. Then, she cupped the drops of water on her face with her palm and shook the water from her hand. After that, she turned and walked to Lu Chengzhou.

  She turned to look at him and said in all seriousness. “Rather impressive, but not flirty enough.”


  Lu Chengzhou was all smiles. He suddenly tilted his head and raised his brows as if he had noticed something interesting. “Sister Mang, why are your ears red?”


  Gu Mang stared at him.

  The man reached up as if he was going to touch her ear.

  Gu Mang dodged without hesitation and took a big step sideways. She walked towards the closet expressionlessly.

  Lu Chengzhou’s arm hung in midair and when he turned, he saw her back which made him laugh softly.

  Her ears weren’t even red and he was just teasing her.?

  …


  After they had their breakfast, Gu Mang went to the Elders’ Association Council House for her meeting first.

  The scale of the meeting was rather large this time and there were many media representatives at the scene. The meeting lasted for a whole two hours.

  When it ended, she had a small meeting with the Elders’ Association.

  The Head Elder sounded very polite. “The Elders’ Association is planning the takeover ceremony for Base 102. Eight days from now would be a good time and we will hold it in the base.”


  The date of the change of director for Base 102 was always carefully selected.

  Gu Mang smirked. “How efficient.”


  The Head Elder gave a warm smile. “I hope that Base 102 will face better developments in your hands.”


  Gu Mang walked out of the meeting room calmly and towards her office.

  The secretary showed Gu Mang the questions for the interview. “Director Gu, this is the content of the interview later on.”


  Gu Mang took it and scanned through, keeping them in mind.

  “Young Lady.”


  Elder Bai’s voice was heard from behind her.

  Gu Mang stopped walking and handed the document back to the secretary. She told him to prepare for the interview and turned to look at Elder Bai.

  “Looking for me?” Gu Mang asked.

  Elder Bai nodded. “I’d like to speak to you.”
