Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"Mom and Dad won't leave you here with me." Lu Xingzhi did not expect to be able to persuade her.

Seeing that Jiang Yao was sleepy, he carried her back to the bedroom. Jiang Yao had been feeling lazy for the past few days; one might even say it was extreme. She felt happy she did not need to walk because Lu Xingzhi carried her. She wrapped her arms around his waist as he brought her back to the bedroom.

"If you're sleepy, rest early. I'll be in the next room. I'll come back in a while. Call me if you need anything." Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao's head and covered her with the quilt. "It's quite cold at night, so don't kick the quilt."

Jiang Yao watched as Lu Xingzhi covered half of her face with the quilt before he left the bedroom. She buried her head in the quilt and wanted to sleep in the dark. However, she narrowed her eyes when her phone suddenly rang.

It was Xiao Yuan from the research institute. He told Jiang Yao about the information they had sent to her.

The research institute had recruited many new assistants, and some projects had started. Jiang Yao was interested in some of the projects, so she asked Li Hong and the others to send her some information. She wanted to review them.

She had given them her address at the school, and she had received three things from the research institute since the start of the semester. Occasionally, she would ask Professor Ouyang some questions. Professor Ouyang knew it was about her research institute and would not ask for details, but he would tell her everything he knew.

"Director Jiang, I'm sorry. The information I gave you was wrong. We had a new batch of interns half a month ago, but I didn't expect one of them to be so sloppy. As an input clerk, she was not serious about her work and made many mistakes in the printing. When Hong Ke wanted to use the information, she realized it was wrong. Hong Ke lost her temper and fired the intern. Now, she is looking for someone to redo it."

Xiao Yuan was a little nervous as he said, "Director Jiang, have you read the information?"

He knew that Jiang Yao must have had the information for a few days.

However, no one had received a call from her, so they guessed that she might have been very busy. She might not have read it yet. Otherwise, Director Jiang would have been able to see through the mistakes. If she had seen them, she would probably be as furious as Hong Ke.

The intern was fired for that mistake. However, the research institute had also raised the bar in their assessment due to that incident. The entire institute had to work overtime. However, the expressions of Hong Ke and the others were so cold that no one dared to say a word.

Jiang Yao said, "I haven't read it yet. I've been at home recently."

"Director Lu mentioned that you haven't been feeling well recently. Are you better now?" Xiao Yuan was sincere in his attitude toward Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao was like a family member to them. In addition, Jiang Yao had decisively withdrawn from their last exhibition and saved them from a disaster. They thought of Jiang Yao as their lucky charm.

Jiang Yao said, "It's nothing serious. I just need to rest for ten days to half a month. I'll call the school tomorrow to ask if they have received any documents. If they have received it, I'll get them to send the documents to me."

Xiao Yuan said, "Much of that document's data is wrong, so it's meaningless to see them. However, there are some things inside that need to be kept secret. After all, they are all information from the research institute. Director Jiang, you don't have to look at them after you get them. Just destroy them."
