Xie Jiujiu suddenly froze, feeling extremely surprised.
In love?
Tang and the director?
After thinking it over, could it be possible?
Although Tang has a daughter, her daughter is adopted!
The director is also single, and besides, she's a recognized beauty.
"T-this... this isn't appropriate, right? It's an office romance."
She said hesitantly while looking at Jiang Caixia.
Jiang Caixia sighed and shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand either.
"I don't think it's appropriate. We have to do something, we can't let Tang go, or else, no one will refill the water dispenser in the office."
Just as Xie Jiujiu was about to try to convince Tang Yu along with Jiang Caixia...
Tang Yu entered through the door with a wry smile.
"How could you say you can't let me go? Is my only value in the office to fill the water dispenser?"
"Right? And also change light bulbs? Oh well… you can catch mice too, you're good at everything. Xiao Jiang and I recognize your talent."
Xie Jiujiu quickly changed her tone and tried to compliment Tang Yu in some way.
Then she turned to Jiang Caixia and winked at her: "Right, Jiang?"
"Yes, yes!"
Jiang Caixia awkwardly nodded.
"You don't have to try so hard to find words to flatter me."
Tang Yu smiled uncontrollably and pulled out two chocolates, tossing them to both of them.
"I just took these from the director's office."
Xie Jiujiu caught one of the chocolates and, seeing it, noticed it was from an expensive foreign brand.
She opened it and took a bite while muttering, "Tang, did you see the news?"
"What news?"
"Recently, there have been many news stories about men from our country marrying foreign women, and then, after some time, realizing they can't live together and end up separating."
Xie Jiujiu shamelessly made this up.
Jiang Caixia nodded awkwardly, playing along.
[Marrying foreign women and then divorcing?]
[Why have I never seen that news?]
[These two fools are acting strange today. Oh, is this a hint?]
[They're overthinking. How could I marry Laura? They must be crazy!]
After murmuring to herself, Tang Yu smiled and said:
"Cultural differences, it's normal."
"Yes, yes, cultural differences, exactly!"
Upon hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Xie Jiujiu smiled contentedly. Tang understood things.
So happy, she stopped worrying and began planning with them what they would eat after work.
---------------------------------------------
As the days passed…
Ye Qingshan was training at the Mingzhu sports gym with impressive progress, to the point that he didn't even need guidance from the trainers.
The three trainers agreed that if this guy participated in the Olympics, winning the gold medal wouldn't be a problem.
While Ye Qingshan was training hard in the pool...
Tang Yu also arrived at the Mingzhu gym.
Before coming, he disguised himself with a subtle look to go unnoticed.
He wanted to observe Ye Qingshan's training progress.
However, as he approached the gym, he realized something was off.
There were a large number of highly trained security guards disguised in various identities.
Some were food stall owners, others restaurant waiters, even there were taxi drivers waiting for clients.
All these identities were very well elaborated.
But Tang Yu could clearly perceive that they were all martial artists.
Upon entering the Mingzhu gym...
He discovered even more security forces like this.
"Damn it! What the hell is going on here?"
Noticing the presence of these people, Tang Yu felt a little confused and walked toward the pool.
Just as he was about to see how Ye Qingshan's training was going, he noticed a sign at the entrance of the pool that read "Closed to the public."
Moreover, those stationed at the entrance were all experts in ancient martial arts.
Tang Yu, understanding the situation, decided not to approach and instead went to another nearby pool to swim for a while.
After swimming for half an hour, he went home, changed clothes, and throughout that time, didn't get a chance to get close to Ye Qingshan.
When he got home, he flopped onto the bed and suddenly had a chilling thought.
Today, among those ancient martial artists, Tang Yu had felt a familiar sensation.
After thinking a bit, he realized it was the same sensation he had when the government sent a special unit to take the Nine Dragons Formation.
Back then, the team that was sent was made up entirely of ancient martial artists.
"There's no doubt, it's the same type of people."
After understanding this, Tang Yu felt even more confused.
It seemed that the government had deployed all this force to protect Ye Qingshan.
Earlier, when this guy managed to get into the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it already seemed strange to him.
And now they were even protecting him!
"Did this guy discover something important or what?"
After pondering, that was the only conclusion he could come to.
Lighting a cigarette, Tang Yu at least had something clear.
If he didn't want to expose his identity, he had to avoid a direct confrontation with Ye Qingshan at all costs.
Otherwise, if they clashed and the government decided to take drastic measures, he would be forced to reveal Ye Qingshan's identity, which would end with him dead and no rewards for himself.
After organizing his thoughts, Tang Yu didn't rush to find out why the government was protecting Ye Qingshan.
Instead, he decided to go out and find some of the competitors he had identified earlier.
His plan was to knock them out and make them swallow the Nine Transformations Pill, thus ruining the competition.
When the day of the annual Triathlon arrived…
Several TV channels in Mingzhu began broadcasting the event live.
This was one of the most famous amateur sports events in the city, with hundreds of participants every year and a large number of spectators who drove just to watch it.
This year's triathlon format was the same as in previous years.
First, a one-kilometer outdoor swim, followed by a cycling test, and finally, a ten-kilometer run.
The winner would receive an honor certificate and a prize of 200,000 yuan, along with gifts from the sponsors.
Even those who finished in the top 10 would receive rewards.
"Little Ye, this time you must give it your all and bring the first place for the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
In the break room, Director Gu looked at Ye Qingshan and encouraged him.
"Don't worry, Director. If after a month of intensive training I don't win, I'll throw myself into the river and drown alone."
Ye Qingshan did some jumps in place to warm up.
Only twenty minutes were left before the competition began, and he needed to prepare.
While they were talking...
A cleaning worker, with a mop in hand and head down, entered the locker room.
He glanced at the lockers and, without making a sound, opened one, swapped something inside, and left the locker room unnoticed.
Just after he left, several competitors entered to change.
Each of their lockers had swimsuits and swim caps provided by the sponsors.
After finishing his warm-up, Ye Qingshan also entered the locker room.
He opened his locker and put on his swimsuit, but when doing so, he couldn't help but stretch the fabric a little.
Why did it feel a little tighter than usual?
