Li Xianglu declared that she would not give up easily; she intended to invite Old Sir Gu out of retirement by visiting him three times.
However, given that it would be Monday the next day, she couldn't leave her post to facilitate the meeting and could only instruct Zhu Hong to keep the matter secret. If someone else caught wind of the opportunity and acted first, their plans would likely fall through.
Originally expecting to soon become wealthy, Zhu Hong immediately promised with utmost seriousness that she would tell absolutely no one.
Li Xianglu found it somewhat amusing but also expressed with equal seriousness that it was crucial for everyone to keep the secret.
The next morning, Zhu Hong was on the early shift, and Gu Niannian was brought over early. Qin Xi's car had Ba'er seated in the front and Gu Niannian in the rear, while Li Xianglu's backseat was occupied by Ba Yi. The three children were delivered to kindergarten in high spirits, laughing and joking all the way.
