Chapter 183: Chapter 116 Dining Turmoil (Part 1)

Without his voice, she always felt uneasy, as if a stone weighed down on her chest.

A moment later, Gu Xiaoxi tried calling again, and Ai Xiang answered once more.

She didn’t speak and hung up directly.

The warm afternoon sun shone on her as Gu Xiaoxi put away her phone and turned to head to the cafeteria.

Then, she saw Ye Shi coming towards her with a face full of ingratiating smiles, "Miss Gu, let’s have lunch together. It’s my treat.

"No need!" Gu Xiaoxi strode towards the cafeteria. Truth be told, she had never actually been there.

It was usually Quan Shaoqing who cooked meals. The only time she had the food from there was when Lin Mi packed and delivered it to her.

Ye Shi quickly followed Gu Xiaoxi, his peach-blossom eyes brimming with mirth, eagerly saying from behind, "Miss Gu, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ye Shi. I didn’t understand you before and may have offended you. From now on, we will work together for seven more days, and I truly admire your literary talent and technical skills."

Gu Xiaoxi turned her head to look at him, mocking lightly, "I don’t need anyone’s admiration, and we have at most five and a half days left together."

"Please, yesterday wasn’t a waste! We hope to learn more about hacker knowledge from you, to improve our department’s information security. Besides, your technical skills indeed won over everyone."

Gu Xiaoxi continued walking swiftly, not even glancing his way, let alone wasting her breath on him.

At the beginning, they judged her by her appearance, showing a very different attitude when they wanted to get rid of her.

Moreover, if it were any other time, she might have been in the mood to toy with them, but at the moment, she was worried about Quan Shaoqing’s condition and had no desire to chat with them.

The headquarters’ cafeteria offered a self-service format, where one could simply take whatever they wanted to eat.

Gu Xiaoxi casually picked a few items and then found a seat to sit down.

More senior officers were present in the cafeteria, many casting unusual glances at Gu Xiaoxi.

Only the Information Department’s members appeared solemn, and even while eating, they kept stealing glances at Gu Xiaoxi, wanting to greet her but deterred by her cold expression.

"I heard that’s an instructor from the Information Department, she looks so young. What can she possibly teach?"

"Not even twenty, right? She’s pretty, but is she just a pretty face?"

"Highly doubtful; what could she possibly know?"

Those unfamiliar with Gu Xiaoxi whispered among themselves.

Members of the Information Department, upon hearing others speak like this, were unhappy.

Ye Shi immediately spoke up in defense, "What pretty face? I think you are the pretty face. Who says the young can’t be knowledgeable, skilled, and learned?"

"Ye Shi, we weren’t talking about you. Why the rush to defend? Is it because you see a beautiful woman that your protective instincts kick in? Relax, we’re just curious, we won’t do anything," a major general said with a laugh, surrounded by a group of men.

The cafeteria immediately bustled with noise.

Gu Xiaoxi sat there eating, unaffected, as if completely unaware of their conversation, yet she heard every word.

She ate hungrily, found herself not hungry, and lost her appetite. She put down her chopsticks, ready to leave.

A group of idle men annoyed her.

As she passed by that outspoken major general, he suddenly stretched out his leg, blocking her path.

The man spoke with a chilling tone, "This beauty, such a rare sight. You hardly ate anything. I have lots of delicious dishes here. Why don’t you sit down and have some more?"
