Chapter 518: Life Is Always Full of Surprises



The company felt a bit restless today.

There was hardly a consultant to be seen in the office area, only assistants bustling around. Each person's forehead was lightly coated with a thin layer of sweat, and their clothes showed visible signs of perspiration.

They would sporadically dash from one place to another, frantically sitting at their desks to quickly tap some keys on the keyboard or click the mouse a few times, then hastily leave again, barely able to sit for ten minutes.

The intense sunlight streamed in through the windows, slowly roasting the floor, and the high temperatures finally invaded this space, bringing along an atmosphere of irritability.

And the cause of all this was only one —

The air conditioning in the office area broke down.

Which felt like hell in the high-floor office area during Beidu's scorching summer.

The receptionist quickly reported the issue to the property management, receiving a response of "the morning is too busy, someone will come in the afternoon" and left the office area folks with a sympathetic look before hurrying back to her own air-conditioned reception area.

Where the air conditioning wasn't broken.

Leaving behind the sighing colleagues at the consultation posts.

Consultation supervisor Liu Jiahang was the first to know about the situation and thought it was a minor problem.

But minor problems still needed solving, so after giving a series of encouragements like "everyone just needs to overcome this difficulty", "we still have consultations today", and "it's all for the visitors" in the office area, he hurried back to his supervisor office.

Where the air conditioning wasn't broken either.

Leaving behind the employees, gritting their teeth and sighing.

Fortunately, the usually absent boss Bai Qinghua came in today.

Upon understanding the situation, he waved his hand decisively, "The air conditioning in the office area is broken, but isn't the one in the consulting rooms still working well? Let's check the morning schedule for the consulting rooms, everyone can work in the empty ones. There's plenty of space to be used. If needed, head to the reception area to chat with the accompanying family members, strengthen the customer relations."

"The air conditioning repair will arrive in the afternoon, hang in there, I'll treat everyone to some cold drinks!"

After ordering the delivery on his phone, Bai Qinghua turned back to his boss office, where the air conditioning wasn't broken either.

The consultants and assistants behind him quietly cheered and quickly sprang into action.

The assistants' tasks mainly involved contacting visitors and coordinating with those having consultation intentions from online platforms, which could be completed using phones and tablets; if there were any occasional oversights, they would return to their desks to check relevant materials.

No need to say for the consultants—they didn't have to sit in the office and directly rushed in groups to the downstairs coffee shop, returning only when there were consultations.

The whole company temporarily quieted down as if on vacation.

The only one usually sitting in the office area was Nan Zhubin since the materials he dealt with had to be on the company's computer. But whether it was heart-calming or something else, he seemed quite composed.

After a series of rapid keyboard taps, Nan Zhubin let out a long breath and then opened his phone.

Opened the chat box labeled [Xia Tian].

[Nan Zhubin: I've checked the evidence materials to be submitted, there are no areas that need modification or additions.]

The young girl on the other end replied instantly.

[Xia Tian: Received, thank you, Teacher Nan~]

[Xia Tian: There's no supplemental material either? (Troubled.jpg)]

[Nan Zhubin: Correct, the visitor hasn't contacted me, and I can't bring it up proactively. Did you ask them in the past few days?]

[Xia Tian: I did, but their feedback wasn't very positive, saying they need to think about it...]

[Nan Zhubin: ...Then that's how it is. If the visitor refuses to provide a complete consultation record, I still have to consider confidentiality issues, so the consulting materials I can provide are limited. But they should have agreed to provide consultation records and times that can prove they are undergoing long-term consulting, right? That should help a bit?]

[Xia Tian: Yes, those are available.]

[Xia Tian: Hold on, Teacher Nan, let me think a bit...]

[Nan Zhubin: (Nod.jpg)]

Then there was no reply from that side.

Nan Zhubin took the chance to pull up consultation materials for other visitors and was about to take a good look when——

"Teacher Nan, the cold drinks bought by the boss are here!"

Looking up, it was the student part-time receptionist who had come today, struggling with carrying a big bag of stuff.

Whether it was due to the heat in the office area or something else, her face and ears were flushed red, and her forehead was starting to get slightly moist, "The boss bought all expensive brands, I'll have you pick first, quickly choose one!"

Nan Zhubin got up upon hearing, first helped to put the big bag of items on the table, freeing the girl's arms that trembled slightly from carrying heavy things; then purposefully spent two or three breaths observing the items inside, appropriately meeting her expectation of "letting me pick first."

Then he picked a basic iced americano, smiling politely at the student receptionist, "Thank you, you better head back quickly, it's too hot here."

The dizzy student receptionist took the bag of cold drinks to distribute to other colleagues, then returned to her spot, her face flushed, and enjoyed quite a while of air conditioning.

Afterwards, she dazedly told the full-time receptionist beside her, "Teacher Nan looks even more handsome when serious at work than usual."

"Really?" The full-time receptionist asked, piqued with curiosity.

The student receptionist nodded, "And today he's wearing a form-fitting white T-shirt, there are lines on his forearms and arms, paired with a slight sheen of sweat... Ah, heavens!"

A low-pitched scream rose.

The full-time receptionist was puzzled, "Teacher Nan typically doesn't have a workout habit, does he? Although his body proportions are already great..."

The student receptionist had her own ideas, "That's why a slim build is great! Going to a gym, accidentally getting as buff as Schwarzenegger wouldn't be as nice!"

Overhearing this, Chonghui, who happened to pass by the reception, paused his steps slightly.

With a slight chuckle, he walked straight to Bai Qinghua's office and came out after less than five minutes, seemingly reporting recent consultation or lab status.

Afterwards, Chonghui went to the pantry, checked around to confirm everyone was in the consultation rooms, then took out his phone, dialed, and whispered:

"Hey, senior sister? Is the professor recently..."

After quickly saying a few things and answering several questions from Weng Pinting on the other end, Chonghui put down the phone, but suddenly felt a gaze on his back.

Turning around, he saw Nan Zhubin.
