Chapter 978: Gu Mang: Don’t Make Me Do It On My Own
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the Elders’ a.s.sociation Council House.
Everyone in the secretarial department was waiting for Gu Mang on the first floor.
The girl got out of the car dressed in her iconic full-black outfit and baseball cap.
She looked out of tune with the people dressed in suits and dress shoes in the Elders’ a.s.sociation Council House.
When she arrived, everyone from the secretarial department flocked over to welcome her as she walked towards the elevator.
Everyone had their own part to be responsible for.
They told Gu Mang about all the things that they needed her to make decisions for, one by one.
And also her agenda for the day.
The group of people have received professional training so even though they spoke very quickly, they were very clear.
There were so much work to talk about that when she entered the lift, they were not done.
Gu Mang bit her lip and there was an annoyed look in her eyes. She simply took the files from the secretary’s hand.
The secretary stopped abruptly as if she was shocked.
Gu Mang read ten lines at a time and returned it to her.
“Cancel the inauguration interview.” The girl’s voice was crisp and cold. “Tell everyone in the Elders’ a.s.sociation to go to the meeting room.”
The secretary who liaised with the Ministry of Information snapped back to reality and opened her mouth to speak. “This interview is very important.”
The girl looked over. It was such a nerve-wrecking cold look that the secretary found it hard to breathe. She did not dare to say another word.
Gu Mang went straight to the meeting room.
When everyone from the Elders’ a.s.sociation entered, they saw the girl in her seat with her legs crossed. She was spinning a pen in hand.
Her eyelids were naturally lowered, but despite being in such a relaxed manner, the aura that she gave off was still so sharp and cold that it was inexplicably intimidating.
“Director Gu.”
Regardless of their willingness, everyone greeted Gu Mang and took their seats one after another.
Soon, there was no sound of chair movement in the conference room, and it quieted down.
Drop! Gu Mang dropped the pen on the conference table, and put her arm on the armrest. Then she looked up.
What was originally Leng Xuan’s seat was now empty.
“I have already taken over the Council House.” Gu Mang tapped her fingers softly. “Base 102…”
She suddenly paused.
Everyone looked at her.
She laughed and spoke slowly. “Just follow the process and don’t make me do it on my own.”
It was blatantly a threat.
Gu Mang had the ability to do so too.
Once the Killer Alliance and Lu Chengzhou’s powers got involved, the price that Jijing Island would have to pay was not going to be small even if they could deal with them.
All of them looked at her with unhappy expressions.
After Gu Mang finished what she had to say, she got up and left the meeting room.
Outside, Jiangsui saw Gu Mang exit and he walked over with his phone in hand. “Sister Mang.”
Gu Mang walked towards the office.
Jiangsui followed her and he said with a heavy tone. “Lu Yī called just now to say that Leng Xuan wants to meet Young Master Lu.”
Gu Mang stopped in her steps and looked over with the corner of her eyes. There was a tinge of coldness in them.
She barely had to guess what Leng Xuan wanted to do.
She had definitely found out that Lu Chengzhou needed the medicine too.
“At the Ye residence.” Jiangsui paused and asked, “Should we go over?”
Gu Mang looked away. “There’s no need for that.”
She pushed the door to the office open. Other than the doc.u.ments, Lu Chengzhou’s men had cleared away everything else yesterday. It was very clean and tidy inside.
When Jiangsui heard that, he was confused for a moment. “Are we not going over?”
“Yeah”, Gu Mang responded.
Jiangsui frowned. “Then what if Leng Xuan comes up with some condition and forces Young Master Lu to agree to it?”
Gu Mang answered expressionlessly, “He wouldn’t.”
She answered without hesitation at all.
She trusted him fully.
Jiangsui felt that it might not be so. If this happened in the past, he might not but things were different now.
…
For a long time after Gu Mang had left, the meeting room was still dead silent. The atmosphere inside was extremely pressuring.
Elder Ye and Elder Bai exchanged glances, then they looked at everyone else.
The Head Elder remained silent and so did everyone else.
