"I didn't tell you, don't go spreading it around before the announcement is made, but you're already shouting about it at the crack of dawn today." A rather familiar male voice floated into Gu Mei's ears.

  Gu Mei was taken aback for a moment before quickly recognizing the man's voice as Chen Peng.

  "What's the big deal, the quota was approved by the director, I finally got this opportunity after all, can't I be a little excited? Besides, it's just for these few days, nothing will happen. What, are you afraid others will find out something?" The woman said somewhat unhappily.

  "This isn't a matter of being afraid, Juanzi, you need to change your arrogant attitude, or else..." Chen Peng said in a low voice.

  "Alright, alright, you haven't said anything annoying, I've just had enough of listening. Although you're my cousin, there are some things you shouldn't interfere with too much. This opportunity was something I fought for myself, you just take care of yourself and that's all, be careful or Professor Wang will find out about your good deed and make things difficult for you." Wang Juan said.

  "I was worried about this, that's why I told you not to be so high-profile. Gu Mei has just been brushed down, and you've taken her place. There's no wall in the world that doesn't leak wind, it's better for us to be more careful. Although Professor Wang has just arrived here and his foundation is unstable, who can guarantee what will happen in the future?" Chen Peng's voice lowered.

  "Alright, I know." Wang Juan seemed to be persuaded and reluctantly agreed: "Originally this time was not fair, I've been here for two years, this year it should have been my turn, why give it to a rookie who just graduated? Who knows what backdoor she took to get here, government agencies aren't that easy to get into."

  "You also said that we should hurry back." Chen Peng instructed Wang Juan a few words, then he and Wang Juan left the small garden separately.

  Gu Mian and Qin Sheng were only a few meters away from Chen Peng, but because of the trees blocking their view, neither Chen Peng nor Wang Juan had noticed.

  Although Chen Peng and Wang Juan didn't say much, it was already enough for Gu Can.

  "What's going on?" Qin Sheng apparently sensed something was off from the conversation between the couple who had just left.

  "It's just a matter of transferring to a formal position in a government agency." Gu Ming said with a cold smile.

  This time she really was blind, and even took Chen Peng as a senior who took care of her, but in the end she was stabbed in the back by him.

  What's even more despicable is that Chen Peng came over and pretended to comfort her, how ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!

  Qin Sheng revealed a sudden understanding expression and looked at Gu Mian saying: "You... are you prepared for what's going to happen?"

  "I......" Gu Meng looked at Qin Sheng, stunned and unable to speak.

  What can she do?

  Is it just because you heard Chen Peng and Wang Juan's few words that you went to find Professor Wang to report? Not to mention how Professor Wang will react to this matter, this matter also involves Director Li, who is prone to bribery. If things go wrong, even Professor Wang may be implicated.

  "What can I do? Things have already turned out this way." Gu Mian felt somewhat disheartened. This stifling feeling was really unbearable.

  Qin Sheng fell silent for a moment before speaking again: "Things haven't been completely settled yet, and until the very last moment, no one knows who the winner will be."

  "You mean I should also go and curry favor? Go give the director gifts?" Gu Mei shook her head, looking at Qin Sheng: "Although this is sometimes unavoidable, this kind of corrupt practice is not good."

  Although Chen Peng and Wang Juan's approach was not proper, if Gu Mei were to do the same, she would still feel uncomfortable in her heart, and that breath of air could never be released.

  "Whether to fight or not is just a choice. Now it's just a quota, and whether you can pass the assessment in the end is uncertain. You can go fight now, or you can fight later." Qin Sheng looked at Gu Mian slowly and said: "If I were to say so, if you go fight now, there won't be much advantage for you. Both you and Professor Wang have just arrived here not long ago, many things are not very clear, otherwise this incident wouldn't have happened. You know your own abilities, and I do too. Giving gifts and pulling strings is just a method, but in the end, if you don't have real ability... even if you give gifts and pull strings, it won't be useful."

  "You mean I should tolerate it?" Gu Mian raised an eyebrow.

  "When you can't get others to give in, endurance is also a method. Once you have the ability, you won't need to endure anymore." Qin Sheng looked straight at Gu Mian: "Some people will not always be so smooth-sailing."

  Gu Xiang shrugged, suddenly feeling a bit better in her heart, but still somewhat resentful: "Although it's said that way, seeing others being so smug makes me feel a bit uncomfortable."

  "You can imagine, that woman was so arrogant just now, what would happen if she didn't pass the assessment later?" Qin Sheng said.

  "It's still unbearable for people to mock me behind my back." Gu Mian lost his smile.

  Others may not be sure, but judging from Hu Dajie's attitude at lunchtime, if Wang Juan fails the assessment, the first joke will definitely be on Hu Dajie.

  "She's smart and others aren't stupid either, I believe someone will soon see the problem coming." Qin Sheng smiled with a calm face, having a somewhat prophetic feeling.

  "Are you so sure?" Gu Mian asked.

  "Based on my experience, I can basically confirm." Qin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

  Gu Meng let out a long sigh, stood up and shook the small can in his hand: "Thanks so much today, it's still working hours, I shouldn't stay with you for too long either. Some other day, I'll find an opportunity to treat you to dinner."

  "Good." Qin Sheng responded very succinctly.

  After seeing off Qin Sheng, Gu Meng took a small jar and returned to the office, just in time to see Chen Peng organizing documents at his desk.

  "Where did you just go? I was looking for you. Professor Wang asked you to send over the materials he had you organize this morning, so when I saw you weren't here, I helped you take them over." Chen Peng's attitude towards Gu Mian was no different from before, as if nothing had happened at all.

  Gu Mei put away the small jar of medicinal wine, looked up at Chen Peng, and smiled slightly: "Thanks a lot, I felt a bit stuffy just now, so I went to the small garden."

  Chen Peng's face showed a moment of unnaturalness when Gu Mian mentioned the small garden, but he quickly recovered: "Really? The small garden was renovated this year and it's quite good."

  "It's really quite good, I think there must be many people who like to go there for a rest, don't you think?" Gu Mian asked Chen Peng on purpose.

  "It should be, I don't really like going to Xiaohuayuan, it's not very clear." Chen Peng lowered his head and flipped through the materials on the table.

  Gu Meng looked at the other person, who was pretending to be busy, and didn't continue saying anything. Although she couldn't do much now, even if she went to make a scene, she wouldn't get any good results. However, this didn't stop her from venting a little.

  She had wanted to go find Professor Wang to report the incident, but after hearing what Qin Sheng said, she changed her mind. Professor Wang is generally not bad to people, but his eyes can't tolerate any sand.

  In the past when I was in school, I don't know how many people did something secretly, but none of them ended up with a good result after being found out by Professor Wang.

  Chen Peng is now doing things by Professor Wang's side, and there will be a good time for him in the future.

  Things developed just as Qin Sheng said, and on the second day of Wang Juan's triumphant return, someone spread rumors that her test score was not legitimate. Although everyone was whispering in private, what they heard wasn't very pleasant to listen to.

  Gu Mei listened to those words and just smiled, didn't take it too seriously.

  In the following days, Professor Wang seemed to have known something and his attitude towards Chen Peng underwent a subtle change. He was no longer as close to him as before, and he handed over tasks to Gu Mian as much as possible.

  Professor Wang's attitude obviously made Chen Peng a bit anxious, this time the level assessment is more important, that is, the score given by the professor followed by the assistant.

  If Professor Wang has a bad impression of Chen Peng, or thinks he's not suitable for further promotion, nothing needs to be said, just give him slightly lower scores and comments at the end, then Chen Peng will have no hope.

  "Gu Mian, wait a minute." On this day, Chen Peng finally couldn't sit still and called out to Gu Mian when no one was paying attention.

  "Is anything wrong?" Gu Mian turned around and looked at Chen Peng.

  Chen Peng looked deeply at Gu Ming for a moment before finally speaking up: "Do you know?"

  "What's going on?" Gu Mian asked with feigned confusion.

  "You know what I'm talking about." Chen Peng's face twisted into a scowl, no longer the usual expression he wore when facing Gu Mian.

  "Since you've already thought of it that way, what difference does my answer make? Excuse me, I still have things to do." Gu Mei was too lazy to say more to Chen Peng. What she disliked the most were hypocritical people, and often fake gentlemen and real petty men were even more detestable than ordinary evil people.

  "Ah..." Chen Peng saw Gu Mian's attitude and didn't know what else he couldn't understand.

  "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to tattle. However, if you think you can keep things from others just because you're clever, don't treat others like fools." Gu Mei spoke and didn't wait for Chen Peng's reaction, lifting her foot and leaving immediately.

  Professor Wang looked at Gu Mian walking into the office with an unusual glow on his face and asked with a smile, "What good thing happened?"

  "None." Gu Mian replied with a smile.

  "Are you free next weekend?" Professor Wang didn't ask further when Gu Mian didn't respond.

  "Next weekend?" Gu Ming calculated the date and shook his head: "I have an appointment next weekend, is there something going on with Professor Wang?"

  "It's a pity you've made an appointment, there's an exhibition next weekend, I originally wanted to take you with me to have a look, since you're busy then forget it." Professor Wang said regretfully.

  Another exhibition?

  Gu Mei looked at Professor Wang and asked tentatively: "Is it the exhibition that Qin Sheng is going to?"
