The neighboring city wasn't far from Rong City. Qi Xi estimated that the trip could be completed within a day, without needing to stay overnight. Since her colleagues were all present in the large office area, she couldn't speak much with Gu Yan. She simply exchanged a few glances, gave a brief explanation, and quickly had the administrative department arrange a car to the neighboring city.
Remembering that Old Dong had mentioned his fondness for Rong City's sweet osmanthus wine, Qi Xi bought two jugs to take to him before departing.
Since it wasn't rush hour, Qi Xi's journey was smooth and unimpeded. Given Gu Xuehan's urgency, she rushed directly to Yuanchen's building.
