This time, Gu Mian's family was very resolute and didn't change their attitude at all due to Er Niang's distress.

  Although Grandpa was sometimes also annoyed by this, he steeled himself for the sake of the future and to teach Second Uncle and Second Aunt a lesson, not giving Second Aunt any hope.

  But no matter what, he is still his own biological son. Grandpa still instructed Gu Mian that if Auntie's side really had no other choice and they were capable of helping, then they should lend a hand.

  Gu Mei had already communicated with Yu Xiao and knew that as long as Er Shu followed her prompts, there wouldn't be any major issues, so she didn't say much about it and readily agreed to Grandfather.

  In fact, compared with money, the husband and his own brother are more important, so in the end, Erniang still gritted her teeth and took the money to smooth things over.

  As the physical recovery from food poisoning, the other party's attitude also eased a bit. After being persuaded by Erniang, she got advice from others and knew that to solve this matter smoothly and minimize losses, it still depends on the other party's attitude.

  Cutting the meat once is cutting, cutting it a hundred times is also cutting. A large part of the money has already been invested, and Second Aunt knows that she can't give up halfway, even if she's stupid, so she can only grit her teeth and move forward.

  Gu Xiangna and her family were at a loss, but this didn't faze Er Shu. She directly shifted her target to Qiu Yan's body.

  Qiu Yan's family was not wealthy, but they were still considered to be doing all right; otherwise, based on Er Niang's discerning eye, she would have looked down on Qiu Yan.

  Compared to Erniang, Qiu Yan's heart might be a bit more cunning, but when it comes to being reckless and shameless, she can't hold a candle to Erniang. After a few rounds of sweet talk, in the end, she could only take out her own private savings.

  This time, Second Aunt didn't dare to complain about the money being too little and all that. After all, she still deeply remembers the lesson from Gu Mian's side. Last time, she complained about the money being too little, and Gu Mian really didn't give her a single cent. Even when she came to ask for it, all she got was a big cold shoulder.

  After Aunt Mei's efforts on the surface and Gu Mian's small help in secret, Gu Rong and Peng Jun were finally released. The food poisoning case also received a compensation price. The Du Corporation did not intend to make things difficult for them either.

  It's just like Gu Mian said before, the Du Group is so big, how can Du Hao possibly take care of everything? Just like this food poisoning incident, Du Hao only heard about it and then handed it over to the person in charge below. Then he flew to Taiyuan again without stopping.

  Taiyuan's large-scale leisure resort is his current focus, and he doesn't have that much energy to care about other things.

  It's also because of this that Gu Mei managed to avoid getting entangled with Du Hao once again.

  Wait until Du Hao comes back. By the time he found out that this matter was actually related to Gu Mian's second uncle and aunt, everything had already been settled.

  Gu Mei let out a sigh of relief when she heard that everything had been resolved, and as for how Er Niang would look at her afterwards, she couldn't be bothered to care.

  Actually, according to her idea. If Second Aunt really thoroughly disliked her, she would directly come to an end and not interact with each other anymore. Perhaps their family would be more at ease then.

  However, this time Ershu seems to have really learned a lesson and has not been like Erniang who stays at home every day talking badly about Gu Mian's mother and daughter, even the old master. He knows that his wife's departure was actually arranged by Gu Mian asking someone for help, and he personally went to express his gratitude for this.

  Gu Mei didn't know if Second Uncle was really thinking that way or just pretending for Grandpa's sake. Anyway, since he was smiling at her, she didn't need to glare back at him. Moreover, Second Aunt, who loved to stir up trouble, hadn't come along, so Gu Mei found it not too difficult to respond.

  For her second uncle's matter, she and Professor Wang took several days off. Now that the matter has been resolved smoothly, she naturally returned to work obediently, but what she didn't expect was that as soon as she returned, she received a shocking piece of news.

  "Professor Wang, what did you say?" Gu Mei looked at Professor Wang uncertainly, almost daring not to believe her own ears.

  Professor Wang's face was stern, and his mood didn't seem too good either. He repeated to Gu Mian: "Gu Mian, this time the assistant transfer thing might be a bit troublesome, maybe... you won't be able to participate this year."

  "Why is it like this?" Gu Mian stared blankly at Professor Wang.

  When she first received Professor Wang's notice that she could exceptionally participate in the assistant promotion ahead of schedule, she was really happy and even made a career plan for herself. She would first pass the primary assistant assessment, then the intermediate one, and finally the advanced one, slowly getting rid of the two words "assistant" to become someone who can hold her own.

  But I never thought that she would just take a few days off and come back like this.

  "The people above said that it's not fair for others if both of your assistants participate in the assessment, and also said that you've only been here for a very short time, so..." Professor Wang sighed and continued: "Don't be discouraged, your time here is indeed a bit short, even participating in this assessment doesn't necessarily mean you'll pass, I think it's better to try harder next time."

  Gu Mian bit her own lip, feeling like there was a lump in her chest that she couldn't get rid of, extremely uncomfortable.

  Professor Wang looked at Gu Mian's appearance and felt uncomfortable in his heart. When he received this sudden news, he immediately went to ask someone about it. After all, Gu Mian was brought in by him, and he couldn't just stand by and watch.

  Everyone he asked gave him a long, grandiose reason, saying things like the quota was really limited, and the previous time they had given him an entry-level assistant position was someone else's temporary oversight, forgetting that Chen Peng by his side needed to take the intermediate assistant exam this time. If he took up two quotas, others would think it unfair...

  He actually knew in his heart that these were just excuses, and the real reason must be fishy, but he had also just arrived here not long ago, and some things, even if he knew they weren't right, couldn't be used to exert too much force.

  Professor Wang could think of something, Gu Ming naturally also thought of it, she and Professor Wang had the same idea, thinking that someone must be making a fuss on purpose.

  "Alright, don't think too much about it either. As long as you work hard, there will be another chance next time." Professor Wang could only comfort Gu Mian like this.

  "Uh-huh." Gu Meng also couldn't show too much in front of Professor Wang, and could only nod silently: "Then I'll go do my thing."

  "Go!" Professor Wang waved his hand.

  It's been a few days since she came to work, and Gu Mei's hands were piled up with things. Looking at the various documents piled on her desk, she really couldn't muster up the energy.

  "Gu Mian, you're here for work?" Chen Peng held a document in his hand, looking at Gu Mian with some surprise.

  "Ah, time to go to work." Gu Ming said with a forced smile.

  Chen Peng gathered the materials and walked to Gu Mian's office desk, looking at the pile of documents, saying: "You haven't come for a few days, and there really is a lot of work piled up. Do you want me to help with some of it? Otherwise, I don't know if you can finish it today."

  "It's okay, you have your own things to attend to as well." Gu Meiyan declined.

  Chen Peng saw that Gu Mian's emotions were not high, so he sighed and said to Gu Mian: "I've also heard about your situation. It's okay if it doesn't work out this time, there will be other opportunities in the future. Besides, you just arrived and didn't prepare well enough. Take a look at how others are being evaluated, when it's your turn, you won't be completely clueless."

  "Hmm." Gu Mei nodded in response, unsure of what else to say.

  "In that case, you can just focus on your own things, I won't bother you. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me." Chen Peng said gently to Gu Mian.

  "Thank you, I will." Gu Mian nodded.

  Chen Peng smiled faintly at Gu Mian and then left.

  Gu Mei looked at Chen Peng's back as he walked away, and for some reason suddenly remembered the day she went to the archives room to return something, and when she came out, she overheard Chen Peng talking to someone else.

  At lunchtime, Gu Mei went to the cafeteria as usual. Although she was only a temporary assistant now, the benefits that should be enjoyed were not reduced, and this meal at noon during working hours was also part of the benefits.

  "Gu Mian, over here." The archivist, Hu sister, seeing Gu Mian searching for a seat, hastily called out.

  Because Gu Meng often goes to the archives room to help Professor Wang borrow and return materials, she is also quite familiar with Hu Dajie. At noon, they often eat together.

  It's not just Hu Dajie, even people who are relatively close to her have a pretty good relationship with her.

  Because there was no formal notice, Gu Mei did not spread the news everywhere after learning from Professor Wang that she could participate in the conversion assessment, so apart from Professor Wang, Chen Peng, and herself, others were unaware.

  "Gu Mian, what's wrong with you? You look listless. You took a leave of absence the other day, aren't you feeling well?" Hu Dajie asked with concern as she saw that Gu Mian didn't have much appetite.

  "No, it's just that I've been busy with some things for a few days." Gu Meng hastily scooped up a mouthful of rice from her plate.

  "It's better that nothing happened. You're young, but your body is also important, you can't be careless." Hu Dajie said with a tone of experience, reminding Gu Mian.

  "I understand." Gu Mian smiled slightly.

  Suddenly, Aunt Hu seemed to have seen someone and winked at Gu Mian, then leaned in close to her ear and whispered: "Look over there, just across from our two tables, that short-haired woman wearing a black outfit."

  "What's wrong?" Gu Mian followed Hu Dajie's indication and took a peek: "A pretty good-looking person."
