Chapter 2003: Chapter 2001: What Are You Looking At?
When it comes to matters between two people, it’s their own concerns, so Gu Qiaoqiao neither inquires nor asks, just pretends not to notice.
However, these two really do make a good match standing together.
I’m curious about how Nie Luan will utilize Chen Lanxiu’s abilities.
But this is a matter between two young people; I believe they will find a good solution. Moreover, Chen Lanxiu doesn’t feel ashamed of being from the Mystic Sect; instead, she’s quite proud.
She has done many things in the past just to gain people’s approval, but naturally, there are many who don’t believe in Chen Lanxiu. Instead, they despise her, ridicule her, and use awful words to speak about her...
Chen Lanxiu has been through all of this.
But if her abilities could receive formal recognition, of course, Chen Lanxiu would be delighted.
Though the two work together, there’s not a big problem, especially now with Chen Lanxiu, under the help of her school teachers, preparing to return to senior year after the new year starts.
For Chen Lanxiu, it’s not a problem to spend a few months cramming and get into a university.
And she doesn’t reject this place or this unit; on the contrary, the two even developed romantic feelings for each other. Although there might be troubles later on, for now, as long as Chen Lanxiu nods, her tuition fees will be covered, and she’ll even receive a salary.
Gu Qiaoqiao believes that Chen Lanxiu will definitely accept, and indeed, Gu Qiaoqiao’s analysis is correct. After they finished the tour of the visitable part of Archive Room No.1, Chen Lanxiu, with a smile between her brows, looked at Nie Luan confidently and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "I agree to join."
Nie Luan laughed too.
It was the first time Gu Qiaoqiao saw Nie Luan smile, and she had to admit, when a handsome guy smiles, it can be quite captivating. She noticed Chen Lanxiu’s cheeks blush slightly as she shyly averted her gaze.
Nie Luan happily said, "Welcome aboard. The conditions we talked about on the phone, I’ll put them in the agreement."
Joining this department requires signing an agreement, as well as some other agreements, but that was no issue. Chen Lanxiu, after reading the agreement, freely signed her name.
Next, Nie Luan wanted to introduce her to other colleagues. Some were on business trips, while others were conducting research here.
After signing the agreement, Chen Lanxiu could visit the research center of this unit. Actually, Gu Qiaoqiao could go too. After all, when Nie Luan promised Gu Qiaoqiao that if she came to his unit, he would offer her his position and work as her assistant.
But Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t agree. She doesn’t have the time now to take charge of such a department.
No matter how busy work is, she has two kids to look after.
So, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t follow to the research center. Grandma Qin has been extremely busy these days, and so is the mother in Gu Garden; she should head home.
Leaving Chen Lanxiu here gave Gu Qiaoqiao peace of mind. Besides, there was nothing to worry about. Chen Lanxiu had thrived under harsh and severe conditions, proving that she is actually quite smart.
Smart girls tend to have a good fate.
However, Gu Qiaoqiao still pulled her aside, whispered a few words of advice, and then drove home.
At the research center of Archive Room No.1, Chen Lanxiu received a warm welcome.
But she quickly sensed malice and hostility from a woman there.
This malice and hostility arose right when she was being led by Nie Luan into the research center, being introduced to the members of the unit.
The malice and hostility just sprang up.
Chen Lanxiu wasn’t unfamiliar with such emotions. As a child, she grew up in such an environment.
When she was a few years old, neighbor’s kids would throw stones at her, calling her a child from a bad family, saying her father was a big villain, and she was a little villain, and they never let her play with them.
Initially, she was very sad and confused, and she could see what others couldn’t, which scared her. But gradually, she feared nothing. So, she wasn’t bothered by that woman’s malice and hostility and just gave her a meaningful smile.
Then her gaze fell upon a particular spot in the air next to that woman.
The woman’s name is Sun Li, she had always admired Nie Luan, and joined Archive Room No.1 because of him.
Her ability is to draw talismans.
Of course, it couldn’t compare with Gu Qiaoqiao’s Sky-drawing Talisman, as she required paper and pen to draw, but it’s still impressive.
Hence, she always felt proud, considering herself a unique presence in the unit.
But she hadn’t expected Chen Lanxiu, who just joined, could see spiritual bodies and even communicate with them, which is incredibly rare. Naturally, everyone looked at her with great enthusiasm, making Sun Li undoubtedly envious.
Jealousy is one thing, but outwardly she couldn’t show it, though she hadn’t expected Chen Lanxiu to be so shrewd, giving her a slight smile and looking at her side.
Sun Li, puzzled, turned her head only to find her face change as there was nothing beside her.
Then what was Chen Lanxiu looking at?
Could it be that there was a spiritual body beside her?
Although she wasn’t afraid of spiritual bodies, it always gave her the creeps; after all, humans naturally fear the unknown and invisible.
Sun Li, both surprised and angry, stared hard at Chen Lanxiu, harshly questioning, "What are you looking at?"
Her tone wasn’t nice, even hostile, which made Nie Luan frown slightly: what kind of attitude is that?
A new member joined, and it happens to be someone he likes, and the youngest as well, yet Sun Li is like this, without any courtesy. This doesn’t give him face, how would Xiuxiu think of him? Oh right, he learned just now that Chen Lanxiu’s nickname is Xiuxiu, which sounds lovely, so he decided to call her Xiuxiu from now on.
"Sun Li, what’s with your attitude?" Nie Luan asked calmly.
This is the worst time to play nice.
"...I..." Sun Li only managed to say a word, wanting to question what Chen Lanxiu’s glance meant, what was she looking at, did she see a spiritual body?
But she just couldn’t say it, only unwillingly and reluctantly said, "Sorry, I was just surprised by her gaze falling beside me."
After saying this, Sun Li seemed to find an excuse and reason, directly smirking while asking, "Chen Lanxiu, you can see spiritual bodies, is there one in this room too?"
Chen Lanxiu glanced at Nie Luan beside her, and Nie Luan gave her a barely noticeable nod.
