Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 111 - 108: Taking the Initiative to Show Up

It was a very ordinary-looking alloy key, about the length of a pinky finger, with a small line of markings—A.L.—engraved on it.

Everything produced by the Erin Group, or outsourced components, and even various office supplies distributed to their employees, from computers and furniture to notebooks and pens, would have such a simple logo printed on them.

And now the key in Zhang Beibei’s hand...

"The key to the secret laboratory?!"

Wen Nan was shocked, thinking that the plot design of this mission was really considerate. He was just secretly planning how to get that key, and someone brought it to him voluntarily?

Indeed, romance strategy games are about not letting players be too troubled by the plot, so they can enjoy the daily romance peacefully, right?

Upon hearing Wen Nan’s surprised tone, Zhang Beibei quickly raised her hand, covering his mouth, glanced at the tightly locked storage room door, and then lowered her voice, saying, "Keep your voice down! The pantry is right next door, with people coming and going, the walls have ears!"

Wen Nan thought, now you know the walls have ears, but when you were cornering me against the wall to harass me, why didn’t you think of it?

Zhang Beibei ignored Wen Nan’s questioning look and returned to the topic of the key.

"Listen to me, I know the amount of information in this matter is a bit too much to handle at once.

"Technically, I shouldn’t tell anyone, but I have nowhere else to turn. I had to come to you for help, senior. You will help me, won’t you? Every time I get into trouble, you’re able to help me sort it out, so this time you won’t disappoint me, will you?"

The junior sister rambled on with a long preamble, while Wen Nan’s voice, muffled from being covered, came out through her fingers:

"Get to the point!"

Zhang Beibei, gritting her teeth, first dropped a bombshell: "I wasn’t originally an Erin Group employee. I started working for Yang Jingyuan even before I graduated college. Later, under the guise of following in your footsteps, I joined the Erin Group; in fact... I was planted by Yang Jingyuan as a commercial spy next to Boss Guan."

Wen Nan was shocked.

Good heavens, Yang Jingyuan really did plant an informant beside Guan Ailin, and not just anyone, but the seemingly carefree and clumsy junior sister working under Wen Nan?

She always seemed so innocent and naive, who knew she would betray like this?

No wonder Guan Ailin would suddenly suspect Wen Nan in the CEO’s office just now.

It turns out Guan Ailin isn’t paranoid; she truly has very few people she can trust around her.

Zhang Beibei lowered her eyes, not daring to continue meeting Wen Nan’s gaze, "Senior, don’t look at me like that. I know what I did was very wrong, but I had no choice. My family is in poor condition, I took student loans, and even with part-time work, I was still very short on money.

"It was Boss Yang who gave me money during my toughest times, allowing me to pay off my debts; she was kind to me, so I had to work for her.

"Actually, being a commercial spy sounds scary, but when I work under you, I am no different from any regular employee. I haven’t done anything to sabotage our company secretly, just reported periodically on Big Boss’s whereabouts to Boss Yang.

"So when I got this key this morning, I was completely baffled...

"Just now, when you went to the CEO’s office, Boss Yang found me, gave me this key, and told me it was a key to some secret laboratory, instructing me to sneak into the lab today and steal an S-grade secret document to give to her.

"I really can’t do something like that!"

As she said this, Zhang Beibei was on the verge of tears, looking extremely troubled,

"This is genuinely asking me to act as a spy, which is illegal, I’m... I’m really scared.

"Moreover, I have no idea where that laboratory is. Boss Yang handed me the key, then hurriedly went into the CEO’s office and said nothing more.

"Even if I knew where the lab was, there’s no way I could steal documents from under Big Boss’s nose.

"Big Boss may be pretty, but she’s not easy to deal with. She was suspicious of me not long after I joined the company, I know she secretly had someone watch over me to guard against me.

"Usually, if I even come close to some important floors, someone immediately stops me. Now, being suddenly asked to go to a secret lab... if Big Boss finds out, she definitely won’t let me off the hook.

"Senior, what should I do? Please help me." freeweɓnovel.cøm

Zhang Beibei spoke, tears about to fall again, her mouth turned downward, looking like a small catfish.

Wen Nan stared at her for a moment, finally sighed lightly, somewhat helpless.

The behavior of the characters in the instance, Wen Nan refrained from commenting. Since she voluntarily handed over such an important clue, Wen Nan would not refuse either.

After a moment of silence, Wen Nan spoke in a low voice: "I can help you, but there’s a condition."

Zhang Beibei nodded rapidly, "Senior, just say it!"

"When this matter is over, either you completely sever ties with Yang Jingyuan and stop helping her, or leave the Erin Group."

This was telling her not to continue being a commercial spy.

Zhang Beibei tightly pinched the corner of her clothes, bit her lip, thought for a moment, and finally nodded forcefully, "Okay, senior, I promise you."

Wen Nan raised his hand to take the key.

Zhang Beibei looked at him anew with curiosity, "Senior, how do you plan to help me? Do you know where that secret lab is?"

Wen Nan glanced at the girl beside him, "Leave it to me; don’t interfere, and don’t ask."

9527: [Congratulations, target ’the fledgling junior sister who is fresh as a daisy’, current strategy rating increased to: 89%.]

After coming out of the storage room, Wen Nan immediately scanned the key with the system and received the information—

9527: [Congratulations player, you have found the key item for the main quest 2, the key to the secret laboratory.]

This item cannot be stored in the guild’s equipment library or directly shared with other players.

Wen Nan synced the information in the Wenna Guild group and then @Gu Jinxing—

[Nine: Come to the elevator lobby on the top floor of the headquarters to get the key soon]

[Jinxing: Alright, on my way]

[FireFireFire: Damn, boss, how did you manage it?! Such a crucial item, found so quickly?]

[Yao: Awesome, guild leader]

[Little Fu: Guild leader is amazing]

Seeing the flattery in the group, Wen Nan shrugged, not responding.

Of course, he wouldn’t tell his members that the item basically delivered itself to him; he didn’t even search for it.

As he was thinking about this, a text message from Yang Jingyuan popped up—

[Xiao Yuan: Wait for me at the usual place]
