Had Her By the Throat

Gu Qingjiu hesitated for a moment. "Ninth… Department? Since when did I agree to join?"

Though she didn't reach out to shake Lu Ziyang's hand, he didn't seem to mind that.

Looking behind Gu Qingjiu, the man who brought her there let out a soft sneer seeing this. He then turned and walked out the door of this conference room.

Before he left, Lu Ziyang warned, "Lie Feng, remember what I said—don't smoke in the base. You know Boss hates funny smells in the base the most."

The man whom he addressed as Lie Feng raised a hand and responded impatiently without even turning his head. "Got it."

Bang!

The door to the conference room was closed. Lu Ziyang immediately extended a gentlemanly gesture to Gu Qingjiu. "Classmate Gu, please have a seat. I'll explain things to you slowly."

Gu Qingjiu knew that since she had no idea what was going on, she could only listen to Lu Ziyang's explanation.

Hence, she sat down as she was told.
