"Nutcase." Karen muttered under her breath, returning to her desk to continue working.
Jin Meng returned to the company feeling dejected, not daring to tell Xia Lu about it. She just tucked the paper bag away and worked obediently.
"You're awfully quiet today." Xia Lu looked up at her. "Caught a cold?"
Jin Meng quickly shook her head. "No, just a bit of a sore throat." As she spoke, she deliberately cleared her throat, thought for a moment, and asked, "I remember Jin Fengnan and Zhou Mingchen are really good friends, right?"
Xia Lu was surprised by the question, "They're definitely friends, but how close they are, I'm not sure. Why do you ask?"
"No... no reason, just asking casually."
Xia Lu found the question a bit odd, but since Jin Meng didn't continue, she didn't pursue it further.
