Gu Shiyin stood in the cold wind, bewilderedly waiting for the elusive Bao Gucheng.
Indoors.
Bao Gucheng, however, walked straight to Zuzi's seat, added a chair, and naturally sat down beside her.
Elder Gu, who had stood up to greet him, hoping Xi Rubao would make space for Bao Gucheng, was momentarily stunned.
But noting that Bao Gucheng had sat between himself and Zuzi, it seemed okay to sit like this.
The other bigwigs at the table were quite tense.
Each with heavy vigilance, tried various means to probe Bao Gucheng:
"Mr. Bo, we heard you retired, why are you still recruiting talent for the Empire?"
"Mr. Bo, are you still recruiting female soldiers?"
"Mr. Bo, are you still recruiting minors?"
They thought Bao Gucheng was coveting Zuzi's talent, wanting to recruit her for the military.
This was undermining their foundation, something they would resolutely not tolerate!
Who would have known.
