Zhang Yingying stuttered a bit when Luo Nan really asked. She had spoken with a wave of emotion in an attempt to arouse Luo Nan's emotions. She didn't pay attention to what came before and after. She never expected that Luo Nan would be numb to the extreme. He even had the leisure to ask a question.
Zhang Yingying had no choice but to make up a story on the spot. "Look. People wear masks. They have an extra layer of protection. With protection, it's easier to let go. Isn't there a school of performance that lets people wear masks on stage? That way, the expression of the body is more important. You don't need to worry about your face or your appearance. The audience will naturally imagine things … … Isn't it said that imagination is more perfect than reality? "
Zhang Yingying's logic was already a complete mess when she spoke to this point. Even she had to cover her face.
But she never expected that Luo Nan would really be led into the ditch by her. "So you're saying that this is a performance and I'm going to manage a new image? This will reduce the pressure? "
The power of his imagination had exploded!
Zhang Yingying's collapsed logic was inadvertently salvaged by Luo Nan. She immediately seized the opportunity and fiercely nodded from the other side. "Yeah yeah. Do you see those trolls online? Many of them have high incomes and high education levels. Normally they appear virtuous and virtuous in front of others. But when they go online, they create sockpuppets everywhere. Their mouths are full of shit. This is their way of venting and relieving pressure. Think about it. This is human instinct. Your behavior online is certainly different from your own personality! "
Luo Nan seriously recalled his online life. Then he answered, "There doesn't seem to be any difference."
Zhang Yingying took a deep breath. Then she spat out word by word. She gnashed her teeth. "Then learn. Learn how others vent. Learn how to let go. Otherwise, you'll collapse sooner or later if you keep being this nervous! You don't need to think about anything else. In the entire firm, only the boss and I know your identity … … "
"Even Peony doesn't know?"
"Of course she doesn't know. She's a newcomer … …"
"A newcomer? What does she do in your firm? "
"What else can she do? The boss just discovered her recently. He hasn't arranged any specific tasks yet. It just so happens that there's this project. Let her cooperate for a bit. "
Luo Nan felt as if his heart had been stabbed with a knife. Not only did he not relax, he became depressed. "Newcomers are this amazing. What did she do before?"
Zhang Yingying was getting impatient. "That's because the boss has a good eye. He seems to have been observing for a while and only recently recruited him. She's not from the Society, nor is she from the Church. She has nothing to do with the military. God knows where she came from. She's so mysterious … Oh right, don't let her scare you. She's just an assistant and a messenger. The real decision-maker is you! "
Luo Nan really wanted to say, "You wouldn't think this way if you were participating." But he suddenly felt that something was wrong when the words reached his mouth. It was the same topic, but Zhang Yingying's emotions were much more intense than last Sunday. She was obviously not calm.
As soon as this thought arose, the words that came out of his mouth also changed. "Eh, you don't like this peony too much?"
Zhang Yingying fell silent.
Luo Nan recalled Zhang Yingying's attitude and suddenly realized: "You can't be fighting for favor! Jealous of a newcomer? "
"… Go to hell!" Zhang Yingying was really angry and hung up the call.
Luo Nan grunted, but his judgment became firmer.
He could judge from Zhang Yingying's character and words that she should have a very special position in the Hidden Indigo Firm. She was doted on by Her Majesty Empress Wu. And the newcomer Peony had suddenly appeared. Her conduct was very brilliant, and her abilities were very strong. She probably gave Zhang Yingying a sense of crisis.
These thoughts were very subtle. Perhaps Zhang Yingying herself didn't even realize it, but Luo Nan had rashly pointed it out. Honestly speaking, this was very rude. Hanging up the call was a light punishment. It was good enough that she didn't blacklist him.
Luo Nan scratched his head. He began to have a headache about how to apologize to Zhang Yingying. But in the end, he wasn't someone who could speak well. In the end, he could only leave a message on the Psychic Wave Network:
"I misspoke. I'm sorry … Also, thank you. I understand."
Luo Nan assessed himself. The first few words were very clumsy, but they were very sincere. But the last few words had a fake meaning.
Understand? The reasoning was clear, but his thoughts were far from clear on how to do it …. Most of the time, Luo Nan felt that doing these things didn't have much meaning.
Relax? Would relaxing make those enemies who were eyeing him like tigers let go? Would it make his pursuits materialize?
If he had the time to mull over this matter, it would be better to calm his heart and do a few more exercises.
Suddenly, someone in the car let out a low cry. A muffled bang followed. Something smashed heavily against the car window. This brought about a new, even louder cry.
Everyone in the car turned their heads to look. Most of the people in the car were habitually immersed in the internet. They didn't know what was going on outside the window. A guy wearing a baseball cap had already pulled open the window and was cursing into the distance. He even gave a middle finger:
"Stinky feet. If you lose another 0: 3, I'll kick your balls!"
Luo Nan saw clearly that a tram was passing through an open-air stadium. A player who was training lost control of his feet and let a football smash against the car window.
This was a small matter, but a portion of the students in the car found a common topic. Someone said to the guy wearing the baseball cap, "The Pathfinder Team's level this year is insane. They can even lose 0: 3 to Yunshang. Lucky for them, they even found Clark."
"Clark, that one-man race. He only knows how to run a hundred meters along the sidelines. He wants to take the opportunity to practice track and field. How much transfer fee did the track and field club give him?"
"Hey, he ran almost twenty kilometers for the entire game. If you can do it, why don't you go up!"
"Go up and weed? After one lap, the turf will be fine, but his ankle will be broken … … "
"That's right. Lando Field is too trashy. It doesn't match the school's position at all. We should find a more responsible sponsor. Is there anyone who wants to sign with me?"
The atmosphere in the car grew more and more lively. Many people, who had been silent the entire way, broke their silence at this time. They all participated in the discussion of the game. Some students had already signed on the school's message board. Some took the opportunity to collect the contact numbers of female students. They gained quite a lot.
Luo Nan didn't care about this at first. He raised his eyes and wanted to return to his own mental world. But at this time, he saw Xue Lei. He was also exchanging contact numbers with someone. They were discussing topics related to Clark's level.
Luo Nan was inexplicably horrified. "You know that guy?"
"Of course I know. Clark? Kembo, the sports star of the school. He's a lightning bolt on the field. Rumor has it that he'll soon be selected for the City United Team … … I saw him compete at the beginning of school. His feet aren't as rough as others say. "
Xue Lei responded as if it was a matter of course. Then he was horrified. "You don't know? There are posters of him all over the school building right now! "
Luo Nan gaped. He looked at the chattering peers on the car, and his heart inexplicably sank. Several seconds later, he opened his mouth and asked, "You know what a Jungle Owl is too?" "Of course. Our school's team plays Ten Days in the Wilderness. They lost miserably in the Fall Competition last month … … You met someone from the Jungle Owl? Who? "
"No." Luo Nan muttered a few words in response. He turned his head, and his gaze passed through the window, unconsciously sweeping the campus.
Xue Lei was confused. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just feel like I'm quite a homebody." Luo Nan laughed and didn't say anything more.
Actually, he had lied once again. His evaluation of himself right now couldn't be described as a homebody.
Xue Lei concentrated on fighting. Peony was employed at the Hidden Indigo Firm. The businesses they engaged in were a certain distance away from the world of normal people. But they didn't lose their perception of their surroundings.
Luo Nan was far too boring in comparison.
The trolley slowly arrived at the auditorium station. Students and passengers got on and off the trolley, and the topic of football had already vanished into thin air. It was as if nothing had happened.
Luo Nan deliberately turned his head to look after getting off the trolley. Soon, his line of sight cut into the lively surroundings of the auditorium. He had been training his eyes orifice here a week ago. He was very familiar with every blade of grass and every tree. He had an idea of how many steps there were. The faces of the people who often moved around here were even a bit familiar to him. But that was all.
After all, these were only his temporary observation targets … … Deeper information was meaningless.
Luo Nan had always understood things this way. But when he returned here today, he suddenly had a feeling: He was incompatible with this auditorium, with the surrounding plaza, and even with the entire campus.
He was like this two months ago when he first entered the school. He was still like this now.
This feeling wasn't too good.
Luo Nan and Xue Lei didn't waste any time. They directly entered the forest on the outskirts of the north bank. They made a few turns, and they arrived in front of Gear. The smell of smoke and fire from back then still lingered in this place.
The construction team had already finished today's work by this time. They withdrew one after another, and the place became a bit more lively.
Hu Huaying was already waiting in the lobby by the time Luo Nan arrived. Aside from him, the supervisor and the project manager were all here. It looked like they were treating today as an official inspection.
Hu Huaying immediately introduced them to Luo Nan. Luo Nan nodded in greeting, but he didn't have any intentions of going deep into the conversation. He didn't immediately start the inspection either. Instead, he asked about Xie Junping.
In the past, the young master of the Xie Family was always at the forefront. Luo Nan really did miss him a bit when he was suddenly not around. With him here, they could chat a few dirty jokes. Wouldn't it be lively?
"Old Xie has been quite mysterious lately. It's probably because he's playing around with Sissy Du. He's fasting and cultivating."
Luo Nan accidentally heard the biggest joke in Xia City. He couldn't help but grin. Hu Huaying couldn't help but laugh as well. "He wakes up at six in the morning and sleeps at nine in the evening. He's persisted for five days."
"Oh, this isn't simple … … But having a regular lifestyle is a good thing. It looks like he's persevering."
The Sissy Du that Hu Huaying mentioned was the former president of the Mystic Arts Research Society, Du Yong. Luo Nan had only met him once, so he wasn't too familiar with him. He just knew that Du Yong was a bit neurotic, but he was a decent person.
They chatted idly for a bit before talking about Gear.
The project manager maintained his silence this entire time. The supervisor explained things to Luo Nan, but Luo Nan didn't really listen. It was nothing more than equipment installation and wiring, maintenance of various systems, and so on.
Luo Nan grunted and grunted in response. He wasn't a professional, so he was entrusted to the supervisor according to the contract. However, it wasn't just the construction team. The supervisor's spy operation was also flying.
