1913: Dodged A Bullet

Dodged A Bullet

Jiang Yao and the others played a few rounds of cards, and time seemed to pass very quickly. It was not until the servant had prepared breakfast and called them that they left the room. The pregnant woman was starving. Fortunately, breakfast was finally ready.0

"Where's Gu Haoyu?"

Wen Xuehui's tendency to sleep in was unchangeable, while Gu Haoyu did not appear to have such a habit.

"Mr. Gu worked late again yesterday night. When I arrived, I thought I saw him leaving the studio and heading back to his room to rest. Mr. Gu La has never been one to eat breakfast. Miss Luo would drag him to meals when she was around. Mr. Gu reverted to his former self after Miss Luo's departure."

That servant was already familiar with Gu Haoyu, though she disapproved of his habits. However, she was just a servant, so her words were not as effective as Mr. Gu's sweetheart.

"Again? Does he often do that?" As a doctor, Jiang Yao immediately frowned. "He doesn't eat breakfast and often stays up late at work. Is he trying to get sick?"

"That's indeed the case. Staying up late to work is a common occurrence for Mr. Gu." After the servant finished speaking, she returned to the kitchen.

Xiao An sighed. "So that's how people from Jindo City work."

"Second Young Master Gu is not from Jindo City," Qiong Hui stated candidly.

"Well, I wonder how he keeps his body in such good shape despite his busy schedule."

Jiang Yao was envious of that. "Staying up late gives me acne, especially when I'm studying for exams. I always get acne on my forehead the next day."

The four of them then discussed if Gu Haoyu had his own skincare routine. Then they discussed which cosmetics on the market could not be used and which had been tested for heavy metals. They next discussed how much damage heavy metals could bring to people's skin.

When researchers talked about skincare, they would always discuss that. Suddenly, Xiao An said, "Why don't we make cosmetics in the future? We can produce and monitor the brand. One day, we might be an international brand."

"Not interested," Jiang Yao replied quickly. "I'm tired. I'm lazy."

Her reply was met with disdain from the rest of them. "If only Director Jiang could be as devoted to her work as Second Young Master Gu." 

Jiang Yao did not have that much ambition to expand the company. It was already very busy at that scale. She still had a jewelry company that had not officially started operating yet, and when it began, it would be another busy business.

"Director Jiang, you are the most—"

"The kindest, right?" Jiang Yao quickly followed up.

Xiao An shook her head. "The laziest boss."

Lin Techeng and Qiong Hui laughed out loud. Jiang Yao lowered her head and ate some food, indicating that she was too lazy to argue with them. Just then, she got a new text message. It was Cheng Jinyan; he asked her to listen to the news on the local radio.

There was a radio in the living room. Jiang Yao got up and turned it on to the local radio station. Coincidentally, the news reported something that Jiang Yao wanted to hear.

"Come quickly!"

Jiang Yao waved at the three people at the dining table. "We really dodged a bullet last night."
