Chapter 211: Parallel Universe

A week later, Gu Shen’s leg injury had completely recovered. He and Yan Xi returned to the Gu Corporation together.

On the first day at the company, Yan Xi was very excited. She spent a lot of time before she found a satisfactory outfit.

The work in the fashion department was not difficult. After interacting with the team for half a day, Yan Xi had already understood most of it.

As soon as she arrived at the department, her colleagues were very curious about Yan Xi. A few of them took the initiative to ask her out for a meal, but Gu Shen had already sent her a message, so Yan Xi could only reject them one by one.

When she arrived at Gu Shen’s office, Yan Xi realized that Gu Shen was not the only one inside. Fu Xing was also there.

However, the two of them selectively ignored him.

Gu Shen asked, “Are you happy with that department? Can you get along well with the team?”

“Not bad. My colleagues in the department are very enthusiastic.”

“Aren’t you going to have lunch with them?”

Yan Xi secretly glared at Gu Shen. “Didn’t you send me a message to ask me to eat with you for lunch?”

Fu Xing cleared his throat to attract attention. He finally knew why some companies prohibited office romance. How could a lovey-dovey couple focus on work?

“Do you guys want me to go and leave this space to you?”

Gu Shen did not give him any face. “If you want to go out, go out. Stop being a third wheel.”

“Fu Xing stood up. “You asked me to come and now you asked me to leave.”

“I just asked you to deliver something. Where is it?”

“You love-struck fool.” Fu Xing threw the USB flash drive on the desk. “I worked so hard to help you, and this is your attitude?”

“You have something else to say?”

He sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said, “I’m already here. Aren’t you going to treat me to a meal?”

“Busy, no time.”

“But you have time to eat with your little darling?”

WIth a chuckle, Yan Xi said, “Professor Fu, stay and eat with us.”

“Alright.” Fu Xing stood up and looked at Gu Shen provocatively. “Your little darling knows how to treat a guest better than you.”

…

Fu Xing ordered a hotpot to Gu Shen’s office.

Gu Shen frowned, but Yan Xi said excitedly, “I want a bottle of soy milk. Soy milk is the best when eating hotpot.”

“Do you want duck intestines?”

“Yep.” Yan Xi said, “And two servings of shrimp.”

Fu Xing turned to Gu Shen and asked, “President Gu, you don’t have any objection to us having a hotpot here, do you?”

Gu Shen pursed his lips and compromised. “Just order whatever you want.”

Fu Xing smiled smugly. He had finally fulfilled his wish to eat hotpot in Gu Shen’s office.

Because of this excitement, Fu Xing was especially proactive when eating the hotpot.

“After this meal, you won’t be able to get in touch with me for about a month, so cherish it.”

“What are you going to do?” Yan Xi asked curiously. “Are you going to the deep mountains to cultivate or something?”

“I wish I was. I’m going to the quantum lab soon.”

Fu Xing paused for a moment and said mysteriously, “Let me tell the two of you secretly. The quantum laboratory has already detected the existence of a parallel universe. As long as this discovery is confirmed, it will definitely cause a sensation all over the world.”

Yan Xi paused. “Parallel universe? Does such a thing really exist?”

“Of course. But I don’t know the details of this project yet. It was launched twenty years ago, and now it’s just started again.”

Fu Xing paused and deliberately kept them in suspense. “Do you know who started this project twenty years ago?”

Yan Xi bit the prawn in her mouth. “Who is it?”

“The President …”

Yan Xi was lost in thought.

Was that parallel universe detected by the quantum laboratory where she had lived before?

Was it possible that she didn’t transmigrate into a book, but instead, she entered another parallel universe?

Then would she go back again?
