Chapter 356: Chapter 6: This Fishpond’s Cannon Fodder Is Contracted (Part 6)

Later, she had to proactively find Gao Qingjue to rescue the mermaids, relying on past feelings to successfully gain Gao Qingjue’s help.

But now, because of Jiang Lai’s change, Ren Yan proactively came forward, wanting to leverage Jiang Lai’s attention on Gao Qingjue to her advantage.

Looking at this diligent student in front of her, Jiang Lai didn’t seem to care at all.

In this novel, apart from Jiang Lai and another female intern Hu Xintong under her, all the remaining men are essentially good. Even if they’re not good at first, they all eventually become friends of Ren Yan and help her assist the Mermaid Clan.

Overall, this is a heartwarming story of mutual pursuit and healing, told from the female protagonist’s perspective, describing a memorable mermaid romance.

However, Jiang Lai, as the scapegoat in the sweet narrative, serves solely as a stepping stone for the leads on their path to love.

As for other supporting characters, they all act as assists.

This includes Gao Qingjue, who, ultimately moved by the protagonists’ love, risks losing his future to help them against the powerful forces behind the base.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai’s gaze towards Gao Qingjue changed.

A downright loyal dog.

"Director, is there something on my face?"

Being stared at by Jiang Lai, Gao Qingjue felt a bit nervous and awkward, unsure of what to do.

"Your endocrine system is out of balance. You don’t need to do tonight’s work summary, let Zhou Liang and Hu Xintong help me."

Gao Qingjue’s heart tightened, and he instinctively touched the pimple that had just appeared on his chin, quickly covering it up.

"Director, I’m fine. These are small issues I can adjust myself, it won’t affect my work, you can rest assured."

"But it’s an eyesore to me."

"..."

Gao Qingjue silently lowered his head, not daring to say anything more, only blaming himself for staying up late recently, ruining his complexion resulting in the director’s dislike. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

At night, Ren Yan was already waiting at the entrance of the director’s office. Upon seeing Jiang Lai approaching, she proactively said.

"Senior Brother Gao mentioned that tonight’s summary workload is overwhelming, so he asked me to help."

Jiang Lai glanced at her and indifferently replied.

"If it’s too busy, I can replace him with someone else, go back and continue researching your observation report."

Ren Yan hurriedly said again.

"I’ve already revised the report, I’ll bring it to you now."

"No time tonight, come back tomorrow morning."

"Director, can I go in and help? I can do whatever they can do."

It seems Ren Yan is determined to get the pass card, Jiang Lai looked up at her and then nodded.

"Alright."

And so, after dinner from seven until midnight, Ren Yan had only completed half of her summary content, and the remaining half was piled like a little hill beside her, she could hardly see the end.

Hu Xintong had already left, Zhou Liang’s progress was about the same, as for Jiang Lai, she had gone to the office’s private rest room for a break.

If she wanted to complete all this content, she’d have to work until the next morning.

"Zhou Liang, do you need help?"

Zhou Liang looked up, with a dazed expression and unkempt beard, seemingly too tired to keep his eyes open.

"You still have so much left, and you’re going to help me?"

"At this rate, neither of us can rest tonight, how about this, you go rest first and two hours later I’ll switch with you."

Zhou Liang was already confused from fatigue, hearing Ren Yan say this, he agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, I won’t go back, I’ll just rest here for a while."

In the next moment, snores echoed.

Once she confirmed he was asleep, Ren Yan quickly grabbed Jiang Lai’s pass card from the desk, found the place holding the mermaids, and swiped the card to enter, seeing the imprisoned mermaid.

She took a deep breath, walked forward to look at the mermaid in the water, full of grievances and unwillingness.

"I’ve finally seen you again, this place is really suffocating me... "

Ren Yan had grown used to confiding all her life’s grievances to the mermaid, the mermaid’s eyes would quietly gaze at her through the glass, like carefully listening to her complaints.

Unexpectedly, during their chat, the mermaid, who usually made little response, slowly reached out, elongated white fingers gently sliding across the glass before Ren Yan, she was shocked and watched the mermaid’s movements, following along word by word.

"O—cean, take, you, to, o—cean."

Realizing the complete meaning, Ren Yan looked at the mermaid in front of her with delight, tears of excitement almost falling, she impatiently asked him.

"You understand my words, don’t you? I knew it, you can understand."

The mermaid nodded.

Watching Ren Yan, it continued using its finger to write on the glass.

"Meat, I need meat."

Ren Yan nodded repeatedly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Alright, raw meat, I’ll bring you raw meat every day, so you can recover faster, right?"

The mermaid nodded, its coiled tail gently tapping against the glass surface, the sound soothing.

Getting a response, she couldn’t help but want to continue communicating with the mermaid, but just as she wanted to say something else, the mermaid suddenly pointed at the person by the door behind her, and Ren Yan, sensing something, checked her watch, noticing patrol time was approaching.

"Let’s agree to meet again tomorrow night, okay?"

The mermaid nodded towards her, doing a wave goodbye motion.

Back in the office, Ren Yan couldn’t calm down, covering her face and giggling foolishly for a while, so excited she couldn’t continue working or fall asleep, thus she just lay at the desk staring aimlessly for over two hours.

Zhou Liang woke up, it was already past eight in the morning.

Ren Yan was nowhere to be seen, in the office besides him was only Jiang Lai, quietly reading a book with silver-framed glasses.

"Director, I... "

"No need to explain. Rather than using eighty percent of your fatigue and twenty percent of your alertness to handle ten percent of work, I’d prefer you use one hundred percent alertness to manage seventy percent of the work."

Jiang Lai’s tone was as fast-paced and calm as usual.

Zhou Liang lowered his head in shame. This was only because he was in front of Jiang Lai. Changing directors, no one would allow him to quietly lay there sleeping for so long.

"Director, I understand. I’ll change."

"I don’t think you’ll be able to change, lacking focus in tasks, no matter how hard you try, you can only achieve seventy percent of what I expect. My request is simple, for the remaining thirty percent, consult your peers."

Jiang Lai’s words left Zhou Liang feeling unprecedented defeat, unsure of what to say, he could only murmur a response before silently turning away from the office.

"Doing this will make people resent you, there’s no need to speak so harshly."

"It’s the truth, without tough love, one does not learn. You too."

Little Buding instantly got agitated.

How come the conversation suddenly turned to him!
