To avoid worrying Director Hu and to leave a good impression of reliability, Xinyan rushed back before five the next day.
After reporting to Director Hu, she finally returned to her room.
She closed the door, entered the space to organize everything, then came out to shower and rest.
She woke up only when the staff came over to call her to the dining hall for dinner.
Besides Vice Mayor Lu and Director Hu, the only person she knew on this trip was an aide of Liu Xuejun; she didn't know the others.
She took her food and found a quiet place to sit down.
Halfway through eating, she inadvertently glanced at a woman's face not far away, which seemed familiar, but the woman was chatting with someone and walking out.
So before Xinyan could figure it out, the person had already walked away.
After losing sight of the person, Xinyan withdrew her gaze and concentrated on her meal.
As she was about to finish, a staff member came to notify her of a meeting with Director Hu later.
