?213: Chapter 179 The Longer It Drags On, The Greater The Damage_1   213: Chapter 179 The Longer It Drags On, The Greater The Damage_1                                   People often say that a person’s strengthes from her fear of being vulnerable!


    As far as Li Weihuan is concerned, Nanxi feels that she has always been afraid of him too!


    Afraid to hurt him, afraid not to love him, afraid not to treat him well, afraid to leave him…


    But she’s unsure whether her insistence on staying by Li Weihuan’s side is really the best thing.


    She is utterly confused!


    Upon waking up the next morning feeling rejuvenated, Nanxi calls the office of Qihang Group to notify them of her return from sick leave, ready to return to work.


    Yang Su advises her to rest for a few more days, but she refuses, insisting she’s fine.


    Seeing that she looks alright, Yang Su acquiesces and lets her proceed.


    Frankly, Yang Su is somewhat relieved about Nanxi’s safety with Lu Yinchu’s surprise appearance, unlike before when she worried about both Li Weihuan and Nanxi getting into trouble.


    This feeling is strange; she has known Li Weihuan for years and understands him deeply, yet inexplicably, she seems to have more of an inclination towards Lu Yinchu.


    Is this considered Li Weihuan’s failure or Lu Yinchu’s sess?


    She doesn’t know!


    Lan Qiqi is going to intern at the gym where Liang Qiaoqiao works.


    With nothing much to do, Yang Su heads over to Bai Yuchuan’s.


    After all, there is still a wounded patient in need of care!


    Before leaving, she calls Bai Yuchuan, and he’s surprised about Nanxi as soon as he picks up.


    “What happened?” Yang Su immediately thought of the possibility that Li Weihuan might have caused trouble again.


    “Nothing, Huanzi just mentioned that she wasn’t feeling well.


    I’m just concerned,” Bai Yuchuan responds.


    Silent for a moment, Yang Su then refuses Bai Yuchuan’s offer to pick her up, stating, “No need.


    It’s better if you stay home and keep an eye on Zhang Mu.


    He’s not one to save people from worries!”


    Bai Yuchuanughs, “Alright then, I’ll see you soon.


    Pick up some breakfast on your way here, double portions!”


    With furrowed brows, Yang Su spectes howte Bai Yuchuan and Zhang Mu must’ve stayed up the previous night, chastising theirziness in the peak of summer!


    What she doesn’t know is that the moment Bai Yuchuan hangs up, his hand tightens into a fist…


    …


    Qihang Group operates on standard working hours.


    With plenty of time left, Nanxi is in no rush.


    Punctually at 8:10, Nanxi boards the bus and takes a deep breath, feeling a little nervous on her first day of work.


    She calls Han Baobao to ask whether she’s going to work today.


    Han Baobao breaks down heavily, iming that she’s been confined by Han Shaojing and can’t even leave the house.


    So much for going to work!


    Nanxi is speechless.


    Han Baobao seemspletely oblivious to her mistake, let alone the danger she was in that night!


    If it weren’t for Lu Yinchu, the consequences would have been unthinkable!


    Han Shaojing must have confined her for some self-reflection!


    That poor guy!


    Feeling it inappropriate to pass further judgement, Nanxi casually consoles her and then hangs up.


    When she arrives at the Qihang Group’s office at 8:35, Nanxi is neatly dressed and heads straight to the Human Resources Department.


    Upon hearing her name, an employee raises an eyebrow, asking again, “Gu Nanxi?”


    Nanxi, not finding anything unusual about her name, nods, “Yes, I’m Gu Nanxi!”


    The demeanor of the employee shifts to an enthusiastic greeting immediately, showering her with questions about her wellbeing and, at the same time, escorts her to the Publicity Department, causing Nanxi to feel embarrassed!


    The Publicity Department is divided into two teams, A and B.


    Nanxi is assigned to team A, a small team under the department.


    The entire editing team of the Publicity Department consists of no more than five people, including her and Han Baobao who were both just appointed!


    After exchanging pleasantries with her new colleagues, she notices their cordialness towards her, a stark contrast to the rumored bullying of new hires in most workces!


    Nanxi finds this odd!


    During lunch, Nanxi gets a call from Li Weihuan.


    At the time, she was sitting alone eating at a window seat in the staff cafeteria.


    The cafeteria is small and doesn’t offer the best variety of dishes, but Nanxi is quite content!


    Another strange urrence takes ce as she’s eating; Nanxi observes many fellow staff members looking at her weirdly.


    They whispered to each other and pointed at her, seemingly talking about her!


    Nanxi wonders if she looks like an alien, feeling rather ufortable as everyone is looking at her.


    Nanxi shares this with Li Weihuan over the phone, to which he responds, “Maybe you’re just too pretty and they’re jealous of you!


    Also, remember to ignore any young guys who look at you, because you’re mine, and only I get to look at you!”
