Chapter 160: Prelude
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
Kong Zhongsi held his forehead and shook it in vain, not only did he not be able to drive out the drowsy sleepiness a little, but he felt that the whole person was even more dizzy.
"Are you alright?" Tang Xianguang pushed the flat glasses on the bridge of his nose, "You look like you can fall asleep standing right away." โ
"Huh?" Kong Zhongsi covered his mouth and yawned, and replied not very soberly, "In two days, Team Leader Ling will be out for a month." This also means that I have been overworked for at least 28 days in a row without a holiday, so it is strange not to be sleepy. โ
"At this point, I'm the same as you." Taking off the glasses with one hand, which had no practical effect, Tang Xianguang carefully folded the temples and put them on the handkerchief, "So you don't have to complain in front of me, after all, every mechanism in the ship is overloaded right now." After all, it is only when some people are absent for a long time that we can really feel what role he usually plays. โ
"Is this your special way of complimenting Team Leader Ling?"
"Perhaps." Tang Xianguang didn't deny it, and asked again, "How is his son doing?" โ
"Sucheng, are you still not at ease? Even if the sky was about to fall, he would insist on entering the office half an hour early. The only difference from before is that he hasn't been out on a mission for a month, and I'm still a little used to seeing him every day. Kong Zhongsi touched his chin, and his eyes swept over the eyeglasses that looked very old on the handkerchief, "Didn't you have vision correction surgery a few years ago?" Why did you find this old antique again in the past few days? โ
"I stumbled upon something I was looking for, so I put it on by the way." Tang Xianguang glanced at him while sorting out the documents, "Maybe it's a sudden nostalgia." โ
"Yes." Kong Zhongsi curled the corners of his mouth, as if he didn't believe it, but he didn't raise any unnecessary doubts.
"That's right." Lowering his head and taking out a slightly yellowed stack of papers from the drawer, Tang Xianguang raised his chin at him and signaled, "By the way, help me run and transfer this to Ling Shucheng." 35xsโ
"Top secret documents from the lab?" After looking at the number on the right side of the cover, Kong Zhongsi's smile froze slightly, and then he continued seriously, "According to the rules of the ship, this kind of thing must not be shown casually...... It's true that Sucheng isn't an outsider, butโ" he licked his chapped upper lip, "to be on the safe side, I can't be the setter." You'd better run it yourself...... Or I'll call him for you. โ
"Why, because of Ni Guangjie's matter, you don't have much confidence in yourself now?"
"After all, it's a colleague who's worked together for so long." Kong Zhongsi replied, "What's more, I have always regarded him as a very prestigious senior......
"It's good to be cautious, but there's no need to be too scrupulous. It should be said that it is a good thing that we have finally removed such a stinger that has been embedded in us for many years. Tang Xianguang's yellowed cloudy eyes were cold, "It's just that I don't know who the kind-hearted person who killed the traitor for us is." โ
"Don't worry, Su Cheng has a lot of experience in solving these incurable diseases that we don't have a clue about." Kong Zhongsi patted his chest and sighed, "Regardless of whether his personality satisfies the rest of the countermeasure team, his ability is beyond doubt, and the other ......" Like a chivalrous man in martial arts, his thick black eyebrows twitched, and he had to ask tentatively, "What about this thing...... Can the girl next to him follow along? โ
"The daughter of the Lu Da family who is not related to him at all, right?" Tang Xianguang leaned back in the chair with half-closed eyes, and the whole person looked a little old because of tiredness, "Since he is the one who can reassure the two fathers and sons, let's go with him for the time being." Anyway, judging whether it violates the rules or not, in the end, his father is required to sign. โ

"Do you have to put a pot of flowers here?" Carefully moving the neatly stacked documents on the table closer to him, Ling Shucheng hissed in a low voice and reminded seriously, "Hydrangeas are slightly toxic. 35xsโ
"Are people like us still afraid of this little bit of poison? As long as it's good-looking, isn't it? Zhai Yiwen said confidently, "Besides, you won't be idle and bored, pull a leaf down and chew it, what are you afraid of." โ
โโฆโฆ Or might as well move next door, in your own current office. Ling Shucheng frowned and looked at this pot of extremely beautiful blue-purple flowers, which were obviously carefully cared for, and decided to fight for his rights and interests again, "I have enough things on the table. โ
"It's because I can't put it there anymore that I can only put you here." Zhai Yiwen grinned, "And what kind of eyes do you have?" I'm beautifying the office environment. โ
Ling Shucheng glanced at him with a complicated expression, and reluctantly buried his head in work again.
Yuan Sui said that he regarded Zhai Yiwen as his sister when he was a child, and Ling Shucheng, who had just witnessed him humiliate the takeaway that Ye Shuangshuang had packed with his own dishes in the past few days, thought silently.
"Save the time that each other uses to quarrel, and remember to say that you are willing to do it in front of Yuan Sui." Zhai Yiwen sternly raised his index finger and threatened.
"Hmm." Ling Shucheng sighed in his heart.
"Speaking of which, why hasn't she come back yet? Didn't you wander around in the name of business? Zhai Yiwen continued to think in pieces, "Really, I know that we are in a hurry now, and we are not efficient at all." โ
"She needs to investigate all the people who may have been involved back then. After such a long time, it's normal to encounter some difficulties that are difficult to deal with. Ling Shucheng said so naturally that he didn't even take his eyes off the dense text.
"The first time I found out, brother, you're quite thick-skinned." Zhai Yiwen crooked his mouth and trembled as if he was cramping, "This is protected?" Isn't she still ......."
The two men looked in the direction of the door almost simultaneously, and then looked at each other thoughtfully.
"Who is it?" Zhai Yiwen is upright.
"Kong Zhongsi." Ling Shucheng replied, "I probably know what he's doing when he's coming to me, so you can go next door first." โ
"Okay. I called by the phone to urge the one who was still running around outside. Zhai Yiwen turned around and walked a few steps, and slammed the door open with his wrist, frightening Kong Zhongsi, who was brewing a huge yawn, retracted his hand.
"Good morning, Team Leader Kong?" Zhai Yiwen raised his eyebrows, and his tone rose slightly, as if he was a little amused by the other party's reaction.
โโฆโฆ Hello. Kong Zhongsi was not very willing to talk more to this new group member who was famous for his sharp speech in just one month, "You really scared me sober." โ
"Oh? You're welcome. Turning around and beckoning to Ling Shucheng, Zhai Yiwen walked idly to the next door, "You guys talk slowly." โ
Wanting to slap the document in his hand in front of Ling Shucheng with a little force to express the accusation in his heart, Kong Zhongsi braked urgently when he was halfway through the volley, took a deep breath, and admonished himself: "I can't do it, this is a precious thing." โ
"Deputy Team Leader Tang gave it to me?" Ling Shucheng reacted quickly, "Thank you." โ
"He's willing to give it to you? It's a lab stuff inside. Didn't I remember that he always hated people meddling in his work the most? Pretending not to see the jar of flowers on the table, Kong Zhongsi asked.
"Maybe it's because what happened some time ago has aroused too many people's sense of crisis." Ling Shucheng did not shy away from unpacking the sealed paper bag in front of Kong Zhongsi, "But it did take several days." โ
"You went tell him?" Kong Zhongsi's eyes widened.
"It's not." Ling Shucheng glanced up at him, and quickly guessed the thoughts of the person opposite, "It's not Yuan Sui's going." It's just that she was also involved in Tang Yuche's matter last time, and she is not suitable for dealing with Deputy Team Leader Tang, not because of any other personal emotional factors. โ
"That's the grumpy newcomer to your group?" Kong Zhongsi exaggerated "whooping" in his mouth, "You're not afraid of offending people?" โ
"Zhai Yiwen is a person who knows what is important." While Ling Shucheng turned the first page, Kong Zhongsi took several steps back in a row.
"Okay, I have something to do, so let's go first......" Kong Zhongsi rubbed his sore eyes, and then moved in the direction of the door.
"You don't look like you're resting well." Ling Shucheng rarely took the initiative to care about him.
"I've been working too much lately...... Not everyone can be like your father and son, who spin all day without getting dark circles under your eyes. โ
"You know I didn't mean that." Ling Shucheng raised his eyes, "Is something wrong?" โ
"Is it my delusion? You seem to be more human these days than you used to be. Kong Zhongsi scratched his head, "To put it bluntly, it's a trivial matter...... Forget it, it's not worth mentioning. โ
Ling Shucheng completely put down his pen and raised his head to look at him motionlessly.
"Okay, okay, I'll be honest." Kong Zhongsi reluctantly raised his hands to surrender, "It's really not an important thing...... It's just that Miao Miao has been saying in front of me lately, as if someone is following her. โ
"Tracking?"
"I think it's probably because she's thinking too much, after all, people have to have some purpose for stalking, right? There is no reason to follow what she said, to keep an eye on and off for so long, but not to take any other suspicious actions...... Oh, of course, I hope that this other person who doesn't know if he exists or not does something else. Kong Zhongsi covered his mouth and yawned for the first time today, "But I've been so busy lately that my feet don't touch the ground, so I don't have time to help her check...... But there shouldn't be any problem, she is with a large group of middle-aged women with the most powerful backgrounds in the boat every day, and most people probably won't touch this moldy head. โ
"Let's be careful." Ling Shucheng had already turned several pages quickly, "Originally, people like you and me should take care of their families the most. โ
"You sound very emotional. What, good things are coming? Kong Zhongsi couldn't control his businesslike tone a little.
โโฆโฆ Not so fast. Ling Shucheng actually responded, then coughed lightly, and began to work again.
