Meanwhile, after Zhou Jinyu ended the call, he stood in place for a moment before turning to walk toward Mr. Chen's office.
But just as he turned, he ran into a hurried-looking Ye Nan.
"Ah, Ye, what are you up to…?" Zhou Jinyu stopped and asked with a placid smile.
Ye Nan met his gentle, steady eyes and instinctively looked away. "I need to see Mr. Chen about something."
Ye Nan tried to be vague.
But Zhou Jinyu pressed with a concerned look, "What is it? Perhaps I can help."
"It's nothing major. I just heard the institute has been seconding quite a few superhumans from the various Superpower Unions to help out, and I wanted to ask Mr. Chen if there were other arrangements…"
This was the first time Ye Nan had ever done something like this, and she was in a panic.
Her mother, Ye Xin, had said she would be fine.
But Ye Nan wasn't confident she could deceive the man standing before her.
