Upon reaching the entrance of Cheng Yanqing's company, Shen Lan realized that Zhou Tao was not there, so she asked the security guard nearby, "Where's Zhou Tao?"
The security guard was somewhat puzzled.
He wondered how Shen Lan knew a security guard, but out of politeness and respect, he answered honestly, "Well... it seems he has taken leave."
He had only worked for two days before taking time off.
Shen Lan furrowed her brow.
Indeed, she should never have brought this kind of person into the company, so she continued to ask, "Why did he take leave?"
"Did something happen at home?"
The security guard replied respectfully, "I'm not completely certain of the details, but I heard that his mother has been hospitalized and is in the hospital."
It seems she had been overthinking.
And it made her appear prejudiced.
So she said, "Understood, I'll give him a call later."
After that, Shen Lan left, carrying the take-out food she had bought. She knocked on the office door.
