Old Master Bai knew she had a bad temper so he did not continue. He asked, “How are you preparing for the competition?”
“Reading.” Gu Mang picked up so juice and drank it.
Old Master Bai looked at her and sighed.
If Gu Mang could not rank first, then she would not be qualified to take the assessnt. The Elders’ Association would surely set their eyes on Gu Si.
Even if she ranked first, the Base 102 assessnt would put her in place.
Either way, the outco wouldn’t be nice for Gu Mang.
Gu Mang taking the assessnt had already been decided. There was no turning back. They could only leave it up to fate.
Old Master Bai changed the topic. “There aren’t many people you can deploy here. Your uncle and I have discussed this. We will send so people here.”
Gu Mang looked up.
“Don’t worry, they were all carefully selected and definitely reliable,” Old Master Bai said.
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. On Jijing Island, it was definitely wiser to have people from the Bai family by her side.
She scanned the subordinates that had co with Old Master Bai, who were standing behind the sofa and she said, “Sure, but not too many. My place is small and I can’t fit all of them.”
Old Master Bai laughed. “Just two. They’re experts.”
Elder Bai raised his chin. One man and one woman walked to the front from behind the sofa.
“Young Lady.” The two bowed. They were both very young and they looked outstanding.
Gu Mang responded with a hum expressionlessly.
“Bai Sui, Bai Qingqing.” Elder Bai introduced them to Gu Mang and continued, “I arranged for a woman so that she could help you out closely.”
Gu Mang nodded and looked at Jiangsui. Then, she lifted her chin. “Make arrangents for their accommodation later on.”
“Got it,” Jiangsui responded respectfully.
Old Master Bai had co to introduce Gu Mang to so helpers as he was worried about her. Now that she had agreed to take them in, his worrying heart relaxed. He knew that Gu Mang had a lot of things to deal with at the mont so he did not stay any longer. After he finished his tea, he left with Elder Bai and the others.
The hall once again returned to peace.
Gu Si and Jiangsui looked at the two newcors. Gu Mang looked down with her legs crossed and she replied to Yun Ling’s ssage.
A minute later, she put away her phone, looked at Jiangsui, and ordered, “Follow Gu Si the next few days. The two of them will follow .”
Jiangsui was stunned but he had no objections. “Got it.”
...
At dinnerti.
Huo Zhi ca to the villa and had dinner just like the previous night.
Gu Mang had not co downstairs yet. Only Huo Zhi, Gu Si, and the others were at the dining table.
Gu Si looked at Huo Zhi’s face and bit into his honey-glazed chicken wings with an unhappy expression on his face. They were not as delicious as he had expected.
He wasn’t the kind of person to hold his anger in. He said loudly on the spot, “Bro, please, stop coming. If I eat with you for another two days, my stomach might just stop functioning.”
Huo Zhi held onto his chopsticks and without lifting his head, he answered calmly, “Get the doctors to conduct an examination on Young Master.”
“Got it,” the bald man answered before imdiately taking out his phone to call the doctor.
Gu Si glared at Huo Zhi and said through gritted teeth, “You can’t do anything humane!”
Huo Zhi was silent.
“Hmph!” Gu Si hopped out of his seat and filled his bowl with at. Then, he took his bowl and went to sit at the subordinates’ table.
Bai Qingqing turned and saw Gu Si sitting in the chair beside her.
Gu Si continued to bite into his chicken wing.
Bai Qingqing looked at Huo Zhi at the main table. “Young Master, is Young Lady not coming down for her al because of Mr. Huo?”
When the others heard the question, they all looked at Gu Si.
“You’re wrong.” Gu Si swallowed the at. He had grease all over his mouth. “If my sister cos down, Huo Zhi will have to get lost.”
The corner of Bai Qingqing’s lips twitched.
“My sis will never eat at the sa table as him,” Gu Si said. “Also, I already have a brother-in-law. He’s really impressive, really rich, and really handso! He’s way better than so dude with the na Huo.”
Huo Zhi almost crushed the tal chopsticks in his hands. The sound was crisp and loud.
Bai Qingqing was speechless.
...
After Huo Zhi had his al, he stayed at the table for about half an hour. Still, Gu Mang did not co down.
He looked at the ti and got up. Then, he told Jiangsui, “I’ll co and pick her up tomorrow morning and accompany her to the Academic Center.”
He said it as if he were giving an order and left for the exit after that.
Jiangsui narrowed his eyes.
On the other side, Bai Qingqing told Bai Sui, “Didn’t Young Lady say that we would be following her? I don’t think he needs to pick her up.”
Bai Sui glanced at the door and did not say a word.
