Chapter 1287: Chapter 1286: Young Madam, You Really Are Fierce
The general manager’s office, located at the far end of the floor.
A bright sign, extremely eye-catching.
Even without the guidance of a certain deputy leader, Gu Tong’s extraordinary sense of direction would quickly lead her there.
...
The first impression of the general manager’s office is simplicity: a mahogany desk, an executive chair, a mountain of work materials, and across, a long sofa and coffee table, which holds a simple tea set and a coffee pot; besides these, nothing else can be seen.
However, Gu Tong did not feel unfamiliar with this style. On the contrary, it was very familiar.
Because this is Li Yan’s habitual style; his office at the Academy used to have the same setup, with no additional decorations.
A certain deputy leader cautiously said, "Madam... You hadn’t finished speaking just now, what did you find during the mission this time..."
Earlier, in the elevator, Gu Tong’s words were interrupted halfway by the chatting female employees.
The deputy leader didn’t dare mention the topic the female employees were discussing and could only return the conversation to the previous phase.
Things?
To mention this topic again...
Gu Tong couldn’t help but cough and said, "The place we went to this time was the Death Cemetery, and we found the old man’s belongings."
The old man...
To the members who participated in the ’夺尊’ mission, these three words were like a sudden clap of thunder on level ground.
The deputy leader’s eyes widened, "It can’t be ’夺尊,’ can it..."
Gu Tong did not hide it and said, "Yes, it was the ’夺尊’ idol. I found one and brought it back."
"Really..." The deputy leader’s mouth gaped wide, as if it could fit an egg, "Did you send it to the Academy for authentication, Madam?"
"..." Authentication...
Gu Tong lightly coughed and said, "I was in such a hurry to see Li Yan that I forgot."
The deputy leader’s eyes widened again, "..." Forgot, how could you forget such a thing!!!
Suddenly, the deputy leader remembered something, his eyes fell on Gu Tong’s backpack, "Madam, could it be..."
The lady wouldn’t be so bold as to carry a national treasure directly to the company.
One must know...
This thing is incredibly valuable; each one is a national treasure-level collection.
Gu Tong said awkwardly, "That’s right!"
The deputy leader’s mouth twitched twice, almost spitting blood. He quickly moved forward in two steps, opened Gu Tong’s backpack, and confirmed the idol’s safety.
He carefully looked at it a few times, not daring to touch it, "Madam, you are truly bold. If the ’夺尊’ team knew about your actions, they’d definitely hold a special meeting just to criticize you."
"..." Unexpected, wholly unexpected...
Gu Tong lightly coughed and found a reason for herself, "I thought it wasn’t safe to transport it alone, so I sent it to Duke’s place, where Devil King could personally protect it, making it safer and more reliable to send to the Academy."
The deputy leader: "..." Believing your nonsense...
Clearly, driving to the Academy is closer than to the company.
You drove such a long way to the company, hand it over to the Devil King, and then the two of you went to the Academy to hand over the national treasure. This is obviously taking a longer route unnecessarily.
However...
These thoughts only existed in the mind of the deputy leader, and he dared not voice them.
"However, Madam, you are quite something. The ’夺尊’ team has been struggling for so long and hasn’t brought back a single piece, yet you managed to bring one back on a single mission. Truly commendable..."
