Chapter 692 Liu Lan prepares to join Gu Nan

Gu Nan looked at Liu Lan and wondered what she was thinking about, so he coughed and said, "Liu Lan, what are you thinking about?"

Liu Lan was called back by Gu Nan's cough: "Director Gu, I just want to do my job properly in the kitchen, so I chose to help you."

Gu Nan thought to himself that although it was a good thing for him to have a helper, he was still far from being able to fully trust Liu Lan. He looked at Liu Lan calmly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, and slowly asked, "Tell me, what is Director Li planning?"

Liu Lan knew that she had to tell everything she knew without reservation in order to gain Gu Nan's trust, so she hurriedly said, "Director Gu, Director Li's plan from the beginning was to alienate you and Zhong Yi, and then take the opportunity to remove your title as canteen director. Later, he found that the quality of the vegetables you purchased was particularly good, so he became greedy and stole your vegetables to study them. He also decided to find out where you bought these vegetables from, hoping to make a profit from it."

Gu Nan frowned slightly, continued to stare at Liu Lan, and asked directly: "What are the conditions for you to help me? Let me be clear about this first, so that there won't be any problems in our cooperation."

Liu Lan liked dealing with straightforward people like Gu Nan, so she didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I just want to continue working in the kitchen. As for promotions, I don't want to think about it anymore. The only thing I'm worried about is that I might end up losing my job because I offended Director Li."

Gu Nan was a little surprised. He thought Liu Lan would make some more complicated or interest-related requests, such as asking for money, but he didn't expect that what she wanted was so simple. Because of this, Gu Nan became more vigilant and didn't dare to trust Liu Lan easily.

Gu Nan confirmed again: "Do you just want to stay in the kitchen? Don't you have any other ideas?"

Liu Lan immediately understood Gu Nan's doubts and quickly explained, "Director Gu, I know my request seems simple, but you may not know Director Li. He is petty and vindictive. I am really afraid that he will retaliate against me, so I just hope to keep this job." After that, Liu Lan told him everything else she knew about Director Li, including some secret little actions and bad intentions. At the end, she said angrily, "I was really blind. I helped him do those things before. Now that I see his true face, I really regret it."

After listening to Liu Lan's words, Gu Nan's trust in her increased a little, but his many years of work experience made him know that people's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows if this is a counter-espionage plot set up by Director Li? So he remained calm on the surface and said, "Okay, I can agree to your request. However, you can't tell Zhong Yi about this, understand?"

Liu Lan was a little anxious. She looked at Gu Nan and said, "Director Gu, Zhong Yi is loyal to you. All this was designed by Director Li and Ma Hua to frame him. You must not fall for their trick."

Gu Nan shook his head gently and said in an unquestionable tone: "Okay, you can know what you should know, and don't ask about what you shouldn't know. You go back first, I will think about this matter carefully."

Liu Lan wanted to persuade Gu Nan again, but she didn't say anything. She looked at Gu Nan helplessly and left the office.

However, just as Liu Lan returned to the kitchen, a young worker came over and said, "Liu Lan, Director Li wants you to come over."

Liu Lan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a surge of anger surged in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it. After all, at this time, Gu Nan had not yet completely torn his face with Director Li. If she foolishly acted impulsively, it would be too unwise. Besides, Director Li didn't know that he had surrendered to Gu Nan yet. Maybe she could get some useful information from him if she went there.

In Liu Lan's mind, since Director Li had already ruthlessly abandoned her, there was no need for her to care about Director Li anymore. So, she simply tidied her clothes and followed the young man to Director Li's office. Ma Hua saw Liu Lan being called away, and glanced at Zhong Yi inconspicuously, but did not say anything else, but his eyes revealed a hint of meaning.

Liu Lan came to the door of Director Li's office. At this moment, she was full of disgust towards Director Li. Just standing at the door made her feel sick. But she still took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, raised her hand and knocked on the door, saying, "Director Li, it's me, Liu Lan."

As soon as she entered the room, a pungent smell of cigarette smoke hit her in the face. Liu Lan couldn't help but frowned, but she said nothing. She just stood there quietly, waiting for Director Li to speak.

Director Li sat behind his desk with a gloomy face. He heard from his subordinates that Liu Lan went to Gu Nan's office. Although the door was open, he did not hear what they said. He stared at Liu Lan and asked coldly: "Liu Lan, I heard that you went to Gu Nan's office. What's going on?" His eyes seemed to see through Liu Lan, trying to find a flaw in her expression.

Liu Lan would not be so foolish as to say that she was looking for Gu Nan to cooperate. She had thought it through on the way here: "Director Li, Gu Nan gave me the job of investigating Zhong Yi and Ma Hua. I only said some things about Zhong Yi to Gu Nan in order to sow discord between Gu Nan and Zhong Yi."

Director Li still trusts Liu Lan. After all, Liu Lan has helped him do a lot of things. But he still looks at Liu Lan and says, "This is an extraordinary period. Don't meet Gu Nan without my order. After all, Gu Nan is a man with many tricks. If you talk too much, Gu Nan will not believe you anymore."

Liu Lan nodded: "Director Li, I understand."

Director Li saw that Liu Lan was in a bad mood. Although he didn't know what Liu Lan knew, he still needed Liu Lan's help. After all, the kitchen still needed someone to watch over it. So he looked at Liu Lan and said, "Liu Lan, take a rest here with me."

Liu Lan was disgusted with Director Li, so she smiled and said, "Director Li, I can't rest. Now only Ma Hua and Zhong Yi are in the kitchen, so I need to keep an eye on them. If Ma Hua tells Zhong Yi about what happened with you, that would be really bad."

Director Li thought about what Liu Lan said and realized that she was right: "Okay, you just have to work hard these few days, and I will definitely reward you well when the time comes."
