Zhang Jiunian and Zhou Xinyao were chatting idly in the office until Zhou Jingxian returned.
"Dad, you're finally back." Zhou Xinyao stood up, relieved. To prevent Zhang Jiunian from being left alone in this office, she had put in quite an effort. Now she just felt parched and was eager to go out and find two glasses of water.
"Zhou, there's something I want to speak with you about in private."
Seeing both their eyes on her, Zhou Xinyao tactfully said, "I have things to attend to over at my project, so I'll be going first." With that, she left the room in a few quick steps, not forgetting to close the door behind her. Her task was essentially complete, and there was no point in staying longer.
"What is it?" Zhou Jingxian asked, as they were now alone in the office.
Zhang Jiunian handed the documents he was holding to Zhou Jingxian. "Take a look at this first."
Zhou Jingxian took the documents and flipped through them page by page, his eyes widening. "What's going on?!"
