"Really? Where are you working now?"
"I’ve been recovering lately, the doctor said I can’t do heavy work, so I haven’t looked for a job yet."
"What should we do about this? No job and no money for dical expenses." Dragon Mother frowned, "How about this, I can arrange a job for you at our company? I’ll give you an easier job."
He iwei’s eyes sparkled, "Auntie, that would be great, really... I’m so overco with emotion I don’t know what to say, thank you."
"A re trifle."

The land reclamation project of A City University is progressing very rapidly.
The water is drained and earth and soil are transported day and night.
It was soon completed.
Gu Lili went there early this morning.
She dressed simply.
A white camisole with denim shorts, and flat shoes on her feet.
After arriving, a grand ritual was perford and by the ti it ended, even though it was a hot sumr day, she felt sowhat cold.
The Principal saw her pale face and quietly asked, "Miss Gu, are you alright?"
"I’m fine, is there tea?"
"Yes, yes, please co to my office."
Gu Lili followed him to have so hot tea and rested for a mont before she felt refreshed.
Performing rituals is ntally and physically draining.
"Since there’s nothing more for here, I won’t stay any longer, I’ll head back now."
"Miss Gu, why don’t we have a al together? You’ve done such a big favor for the school without asking for paynt. We really feel indebted. Could you honor us by accepting our invitation to a al? This is a token of our gratitude; you must agree."
Since it was ti for lunch, after thinking it over, she agreed.
The restaurant was chosen not far from the school. Concerned that Gu Lili would find it botherso, the Principal did not call many people, only a few school leaders and the police were invited.
Gu Lili drove there, so she didn’t drink any alcohol throughout, just so tea and fruit juice.
After the al ended and as she went to the restroom inside the restaurant, she ca out and was surprised to see Antonio standing a ter away.
"This is the won’s restroom."
"I know, Miss Gu, could we have a private chat for five minutes?"
Gu Lili didn’t see the need to have a conversation with him, her voice cold, "There is no need, I’m not familiar with you."
Antonio’s blue eyes flashed with displeasure, "Can I have your phone number?"
Gu Lili refused, "Do you not understand what I’m saying? I said I’m not familiar with you, there’s no need."
She tried to walk past him, but just as she crossed by, Antonio suddenly grabbed her arm.
Almost instinctively, Gu Lili gave him a kick and Antonio staggered back several steps before he stabilized himself.
Watching her leave without looking back, Antonio’s eyes darkened.
From her attitude, he saw very clearly that she didn’t even want to give him the chance of being an ordinary friend.
Well, being a wealthy young matron, with such an excellent husband, it was natural that she had no interest in him.
Yet, he was attracted to her.
Even breaking his own rules.
He never pursued won who had boyfriends, let alone those who were married.
However, now he felt that this woman was like a whirlpool, knowing the danger, but still wanting to get closer.
...
Gu Lili drove ho, not giving a second thought to the incident.
When she arrived, Long Yubei was reading a book with the air conditioning on.
Seeing her return, he took the initiative to report, "I’ve got so news for you."
"What is it?"
"My mom sohow got to know He iwei and arranged for her to join the company, saying she was to be pitied and had no money for dical bills."
Gu Lili scoffed lightly, "What a drama."
