In a guest room on the second floor of the Luo Family’s house, Gu Xiyue sat in front of a desk, a programming book pressed under her hands, attentively reading. Suddenly, a ringing sound echoed in her ears.
Gu Xiyue shifted her gaze from the book to her cellphone lying beside her.
Seeing who was making the voice call, a hint of perplexity flickered through Gu Xiyue’s eyes.
Why was he suddenly calling her?
Though confused, she reached out for the phone and slid across the answer button, "Speak."
"Boss, it’s me. Remember Fall assigned me to handle Jiu’s share distribution? I’ve discussed it with 003 and the others, Fall told me to consult with you," the caller was indeed 007, Wei Jingyu.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyue recalled the matter, raised her hand, and rubbed her forehead, responding softly, "Mhm, go ahead."
On the other side, Wei Jingyu paused briefly.
Did Moon ever sound so calm?
Wei Jingyu was only taken aback for a moment, then he immediately began, "As you know, those guys only care about programming, they really don’t care about money or shares. They told me to handle it as I see fit."
"However, Fall’s idea is that it would be best if the shares could motivate Jiu to provide us with regular guidance. Therefore, the shares we give him must not be low — at least, they shouldn’t be lower than ours."
"So, I’m thinking, after setting aside the unallocated shares, each of us will contribute 2%, making a total of 14%. This way, Jiu’s share will only be one percentage point lower than yours. You will still be in charge of the highest decisions. Everyone else agrees. Do you have any issue with this?" Since the others were very cooperative and welcomed Jiu’s inclusion, Wei Jingyu proposed the straightforward way of distribution.
Gu Xiyue, after listening, didn’t hesitate and immediately stated, "No problem."
"Alright, since it’s settled, I’ll go and talk to Jiu in a bit," having received Gu Xiyue’s consent, Wei Jingyu promptly responded.
"Mhm," Gu Xiyue acknowledged, then added, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up."
"Hey, don’t hang up yet," Wei Jingyu quickly spoke up, halting Gu Xiyue’s attempt to end the call.
Gu Xiyue stopped upon hearing this.
"Could you do me a favor?" Wei Jingyu asked cautiously.
"I need a skilled hypnotist, you..."
At the mention of a hypnotist, Gu Xiyue’s brows creased slightly, "Wasn’t your illness cured? Why do you suddenly need a hypnotist?"
"It’s not for me, it’s for Tongtong," Wei Jingyu said, his tone tinged with a touch of gloom and dejection.
"Tongtong is back?" A glimmer of joy flickered through Gu Xiyue’s eyes.
"She’s back. But, remember I went looking for my daughter? They used Tongtong as the host and even hypnotized her. Right now, her condition is extremely unstable, oftentimes waking up from nightmares, so I want to find her a hypnotist."
As Wei Jingyu explained, a sudden chill climbed up Gu Xiyue’s eyes, "They used Tongtong as the host?"
"Mhm," Wei Jingyu replied softly, "It’s only after I saw Tongtong at Luya Base that I found out."
The fingers of Gu Xiyue pressed atop the book tightened abruptly, her gaze revealing barely concealed fury.
"Moon?" After not hearing Gu Xiyue’s voice for a while, Wei Jingyu tentatively spoke, calling out Gu Xiyue’s name.
Gu Xiyue, at that remark, let the hostility in her gaze fade slightly and answered with an icy tone, "I don’t know any hypnotists. You can try contacting one from the hypnotist ranks, but avoid the top three. I suspect there are Angels among the rest. For Tongtong’s safety, I don’t recommend them."
