Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Alive...

Although it's just two words, it represents Chen Duo's own desire to try and accept this world, rather than passively being pushed by people like Liao Zhong to integrate into it and be accepted by it...

The road ahead may still be confusing, painful, and she may still not know what she needs, but unlike before, by continuing to cultivate the Reversal of Heavenly Qi... her body will get better day by day.

That's enough for her to live as a human being, to gradually explore and accept this world, and to find what she truly needs...

As long as she makes progress little by little, even if it's slow, the light of dawn will eventually shine upon her.

...

Hearing Chen Duo say that only a fool would choose to die, Zhou Fengliu simply yawned.

He hadn't expected that his previous words and the copy of the Reversed Heavenly Gang would have a certain impact on Chen Duo.

After all, he had said a lot, but Chen Duo's expression gave him the impression that she hadn't listened to a word he said.

He was very satisfied that Chen Duo was alive.

No matter what kind of mental storm Chen Duo was going through, as long as he survived and continued to cultivate the Reversed Heavenly Gang technique, it would still be helpful to his cultivation...

"Yes, yes, only a fool would choose to die..."

Old Meng, who was standing to the side, pushed up his glasses and heard Chen Duo's desire not to die. His face lit up with joy, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Everyone present looked relieved that Chen Duo had not chosen death, except for our temporary assistant from the North China region—Zhang Bilian.

After hearing Chen Duo's choice that she hadn't died, Zhang Chulan realized that he had no chance of gaining anything from this mission.

From the moment he accepted the mission, Zhang Chulan no longer cared about Biyou Village or Chen Duo's fate; he only cared that Bao'er could get through it safely.

When Lao Meng appeared and told them about Chen Duo's tragic past and asked them to spare Chen Duo's life, she saw the other temporary workers agreeing to capture Chen Duo alive and realized that there was something to gain from this.

This benefit wasn't monetary, but rather emotional—the temporary workers' sympathy for Chen Duo.

As long as Chen Duo has the option of death, he can play the role of an absolutely rational guy and push Bao'er into the emotional group of temporary workers.

Let this emotional group send off Chen Duo together, and let these fellow temporary workers realize that today they are sending off Chen Duo, but who knows, one day in the future it may be other temporary workers who will send them off.

Any one of them has had a time when they had no choice.

Even though doing so would make him an oddball in the team, it would be worth it if Bao'er could connect with these temporary workers.

If the company were to suspect Feng Baobao's background in the future and intend to take action against her, the temporary workers' feelings for Chen Duo at this moment could be more easily replicated on Feng Baobao due to their shared experiences...

However... this goal has now vanished with Chen Duo's choice...

Zhang Chulan could no longer guide Chen Duo to choose death.

"Zhang Chulan..."

"Zhang Chulan?"

Hearing someone call his name, Zhang Chulan snapped out of his aimless thoughts. Seeing Zhou Fengliu calling him, he scratched his head and asked with a smile:

"Brother Liu...what's wrong?"

"Your expression was a bit off earlier. What's wrong? You're not happy that Chen Duo chose to live?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, everyone's attention focused on Zhang Chulan's face. At this moment, Zhang Bilian could only give an awkward laugh and hurriedly said:

"I'm glad there was no conflict. I was just thinking about how the company would deal with Chen Duo after we took her back... What if it's detrimental to Chen Duo?"

Zhang Chulan reacted quickly, steer the conversation toward the company's handling of Chen Duo.

"this..."

Hearing this, everyone could more or less guess Chen Duo's fate.

Given the Gu poison in Chen Duo's body and the fact that she killed the person in charge of the South China region, the situation is probably not very optimistic.

"I know..."

At this moment, the quick-witted Feng Baobao stepped forward and offered Chen Duo a solution.

“If it doesn’t work out, you can just run away…” Feng Baobao said to Chen Duo.

"abscond?"

"Goodness, that's a really serious idea. If she runs away again when we get back to the company, we'll probably have to be the ones to catch her..."

"Um...it seems that's true, well..." Feng Baobao scratched her butt and continued seriously:

"Or...why don't you run now?"

Chen Duo remained silent.

Everyone remained silent.

That's a really clever idea.

Unable to make up their minds, everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Fengliu, who was standing not far away.

"Commander Zhou... what do you mean?" Qiu'er asked.

"I?"

Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this:

"Bring her back to the company... You guys really want to let Chen Duo go, don't you? Where can she go if she's let go... Haven't you had enough of her yet? You might as well go back to the company and think about the future."

Zhou Fengliu's answer was pertinent and to the point.

After all, Chen Duo didn't know where to go next, and they had been chasing her for so long. They couldn't just let her go now and risk being held accountable by the company for only half of the mission being completed.

Even if Chen Duo wanted to run away, she would have to do so after they had handed over the situation to headquarters...

"Chen Duo, what do you think?"

After Zhou Fengliu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Duo, who was squatting under a tree not far away.

"I..." After being called upon by Zhou Fengliu, Chen Duo stroked her chin and thought for two seconds:

"I don't know, but it seems like there aren't many other options..."

...

What awaits Chen Duo upon her return to the company? None of the current members know...

Chapter 189 Do we, as a junior employee, really need to consider his attitude?

After dealing with Chen Duo, Zhou Fengliu thought for a moment, then found a secluded spot, took out his far superior phone, and made a call to Zhao Fangxu.

At the headquarters of Nadutong, Zhao Fangxu, who was waiting with a group of directors for the front-line report, was taken aback when he saw Zhou Fengliu's phone number.

He adjusted his glasses and then answered the call.

"Hey... Xiao Zhou, why are you calling me? Is something urgent?"

"Ah, Mr. Zhao, no, no... the task is almost complete, I just wanted to check if the boss was asleep..."

Zhou Fengliu's words, transmitted over the phone, made Zhao Fangxu raise an eyebrow.

"Well... you do seem to care about me. How can I and the company's board members sleep soundly if the Biyou Village issue isn't resolved?"

"Speak, what is it..."

Zhao Fangxu knew that Zhou Fengliu must have had some ulterior motive for making this call to him, bypassing Xu Si.

"It's nothing much, it's just that Chen Duo is under control, and I wanted to ask how the company plans to handle this matter," Zhou Fengliu said bluntly.

Zhao Fangxu was somewhat puzzled by Zhou Fengliu's question.

"This matter...you're very concerned about it?"

"I guess so, after all, we caught it with our own hands."

"Xiao Zhou, the decision regarding Chen Duo still needs to be made by the board of directors..."

After a moment of silence, Zhao Fangxu made excuses to Zhou Fengliu.

Hearing this, Zhou Fengliu roughly understood the situation.

The company hadn't actually figured out how to deal with Chen Duo either; at least, that's what Zhao Fangxu, on the other end of the phone, thought...

Who knows, he might actually be able to win over Chen Duo, this human-shaped walking "power bank".

Yes.

That's right.

Zhou Fengliu had been thinking for a while and decided that he should try to gain the authority to deal with Chen Duo.

Since Chen Duo, this self-propelled "power bank" with abundant Gu poison, has finally chosen to survive, he cannot allow Chen Duo to be so hastily destroyed by the company.

Through this phone call, he could basically give up the idea of ​​letting Chen Duo escape. As for the disposal of Chen Duo, he could still negotiate with Zhao Fangxu.

“Okay, Mr. Zhao, I understand. I will personally deliver Chen Duo to headquarters tomorrow... I won't let Chen Duo run away.”

Zhou Fengliu temporarily calmed Zhao Fangxu down by phone.

"Um..."

"Xiao Zhou, I still have to tell you a few things. You did an excellent job on this mission, and the company will remember your contribution."

Zhao Fangxu gave Zhou Fengliu a heads-up in advance:
