Everyone suddenly became curious about whether the books Peter Brown had were genuine.
At that moment, Ivy Cooper also returned to the office.
A captain said, "Then why not go and get them appraised right now?"
"I'm working."
"It's not a big deal, today the leaders will be in a meeting for a while and won't be looking for you. Ivy can man the office, right?" the deputy head of the finance department, who was also in the office, chimed in at this time.
"Peter, I'll take you there," Captain Cook even volunteered.
"No need, no need, I'll take a taxi. It's just inside the market, not far."
After Peter Brown finished speaking, he wrapped the books in newspaper, then picked them up in a plastic bag and walked out.
Seeing Peter Brown carry the books so simply, everyone shook their heads.
In a hurry, Peter Brown hit the street, then hailed a cab and left.
The people in the office watched Peter Brown's retreating figure and once again started discussing among themselves.
