Say One Thing, Mean Another (ChatGPT Translated)

Chapter 8, Chapter 8

Unexpectedly, the work at the office quickly fell into place. Although there weren't a constant stream of clients seeking consultation, there were clients coming in almost every day, making the work at the office stable and sustainable.

Chen Zhuo always felt that Zou Miao, although not necessarily as unreliable as she appeared on the surface, didn't expect the upcoming work to go so smoothly.

In his spare time, Chen Zhuo couldn't help but ask "experienced" Shen Man.

"Oh, senior, don't worry. Despite the boss looking lazy and disorganized every day, she used to be the star of her previous company." Shen Man, who usually teased Zou Miao, changed her usual playful expression and showed a serious fangirl look, overflowing with admiration.

Chen Zhuo had also spent some time in the place where Zou Miao used to work. He had heard some rumors about her reputation.

Although Zou Miao wasn't specifically assigned as the most suitable consultant, she always had the highest customer satisfaction rate.

However, Chen Zhuo had only been her assistant for a short month, and at that time, Zou Miao was already planning to leave and was busy with the follow-up and handover work, without taking on any new cases. This led Chen Zhuo to have some pessimistic speculations and doubts about her work ability, feeling that she seemed a bit lazy and procrastinating.

But now, it seems that Zou Miao indeed has her own way of doing things. It seems that she doesn't solve many problems within the office. Her approach seems a bit unconventional, and Chen Zhuo hasn't truly integrated into her work style yet.

Chen Zhuo had some doubts in his heart, and at the same time, he felt a bit disappointed. He suddenly realized that he didn't really understand her, in other words, Zou Miao hadn't considered him as one of her own.

Another ordinary night has passed, it's already past 8 o'clock, and the location is still the gym where Zou Miao recently got a membership card.

"What happened to that girl just now? I saw her punching the sandbag upstairs. She didn't even wear gloves, isn't she afraid of getting hurt?"

"Who knows, maybe she experienced something traumatic."

Zou Miao unintentionally overheard someone talking about something, but she didn't pay much attention at that time.

After the training session ended, it was already late, and there were only a few people left in the gym's shower room.

Zou Miao happened to need to use the restroom, but the women's bathing area in this gym only had one toilet. She had already taken off her sweat-soaked outerwear, so it was inconvenient for her to go to the public restroom in the common area. However, the restroom in the shower room was still lit, but the door was tightly closed.

She waited for a few minutes and felt a bit strange, unable to resist, she approached and knocked on the door.

To her surprise, she heard suppressed crying from inside.

Zou Miao felt puzzled and tentatively turned the doorknob, only to find that the door was not locked.

Zou Miao didn't deliberately ask about the reasons, but couldn't help but kindly remind: "Many things are not as complicated as they seem. The reason they trap people is simply because they can't grasp the clue. The person involved is often confused. If you're willing, maybe I can help you."

After saying that, Zou Miao smiled at her, but didn't wait for her response. Instead, she walked into the shower room.

Sun Fei stood still, watching Zou Miao's graceful departure. Her tense emotions seemed to relax a bit. She lowered her gaze, pursed her lips, and glanced back at the direction of the cubicle Zou Miao was using as she left the bathroom.
