The two left Fang Yuanyuan's room.
Hoshino Kannon had originally hoped to use her silver tongue to change Fang Yuanyuan's decision to appoint Lin Yu.
But Gu Chenan didn't even let her finish speaking before pulling her out.
"I wasn't done talking, why did you pull me out?" Hoshino Kannon pouted angrily.
Gu Chenan shook his head with a slight smile: "It's useless, your words alone won't make your boss change her mind."
Hoshino Kannon frowned in thought for a moment, then her expression cleared as she looked at Gu Chenan: "Do you have a plan?"
Gu Chenan shook his head: "No."
"Tsk, you pulled me out for nothing then."
"We'll take it one step at a time. In any case, I won't let Lin Yu really become one of The Twelve Owls." Gu Chenan stretched his neck. "Let's go to the conference room."
[A solution... now that you mention it, there is one.]
[But I can't use that method unless absolutely necessary. If used properly, it would make Fang Yuanyuan completely side with me. But if used improperly... the consequences would be unimaginable.]
Hearing Gu Chenan's inner voice, Hoshino Kannon was slightly taken aback.
That method?
What method was he referring to?
...
They arrived at the conference room.
Currently, no one else had arrived yet. Hoshino Kannon went to her seat and brought over another chair to place beside her.
"You can sit next to me."
"That... might not be appropriate," Gu Chenan was reluctant.
It wasn't anything else, mainly that if he sat next to Hoshino Kannon, others might think he was taking advantage of her.
"It's very appropriate, extremely appropriate." Hoshino Kannon insisted like a clothing store salesperson pushing her wares.
Seeing that he couldn't dissuade her, Gu Chenan reluctantly sat down beside Hoshino Kannon.
"Hehe."
Hoshino Kannon hooked her arm around Gu Chenan's and leaned her head on his shoulder, giggling foolishly.
Soon, more and more people started entering the conference room.
Before long, apart from the three Owls who had gone to Suhang to deal with the Li Family and a few others who were out on missions, all the remaining four Owls in the organization had arrived.
After greeting Hoshino Kannon, the four turned their eyes toward Gu Chenan.
"Miss Hoshino, who is this?"
"The young master of the Gu Family of Donghai, Gu Chenan," Hoshino Kannon introduced him.
Gu Chenan?
Upon hearing this name, the four were stunned.
Previously, someone had meddled and caused their operation in Suhang to fail, and that person was Gu Chenan!
Hoshino Kannon was standing by and had brought Gu Chenan back into the organization? What was she up to?
"Greetings," Gu Chenan stood up and extended his hand.
However, none of the four shook his hand, instead looking at Hoshino Kannon and asking, "Miss Hoshino, why did you bring him into the organization?"
Seeing this, Gu Chenan gave an awkward smile and sat back down.
In the original story, these four weren't described in much detail, so Gu Chenan only knew their names but not their personalities.
But it was clear they weren't easygoing people.
However, Gu Chenan didn't dwell on it too much. After all, his current reputation in Black Owl was spread by Lin Yu, so it was understandable for the four to react this way.
But Hoshino Kannon didn't see it that way.
Seeing the four refuse to shake Gu Chenan's hand, Hoshino Kannon stood up and said, "I brought Gu Chenan back to make him one of The Twelve Owls. From now on, he will be our colleague."
Hearing this, the four exchanged glances.
Making Gu Chenan one of The Twelve Owls, what kind of development was this?
Moreover, hadn't the top position already been designated for Lin Yu?
And it was Hoshino Kannon herself who had recommended Lin Yu to the organization. Now she was doing this, what was going on?
Could it be...
The four couldn't help but wonder about one possibility.
Could Hoshino Kannon and Gu Chenan have some other relationship?
Only then would this whole situation make sense.
Once they realized this, the four couldn't help but look at Gu Chenan with disdain.
In their eyes, this spoiled rich kid who was taking advantage of Hoshino Kannon was shamelessly trying to become one of The Twelve Owls through her.
It was simply ridiculous!
"Heh, colleague? Miss Hoshino, you can't say it like that. As I recall, the one taking over from Gong Fei is Lin Yu, not this Gu Chenan."
"Miss Hoshino, you should be happy and congratulate the Lin Yu you recommended for becoming one of The Twelve Owls, not bring your man here to the organization to snatch positions!"
The group spoke with mocking and sarcastic tones.
Originally, they were somewhat unhappy with Lin Yu becoming one of The Twelve Owls. But now, seeing the instigator Hoshino Kannon bring back this rich kid to try to take the position, it made them want to support Lin Yu instead.
After all, no matter what, Lin Yu's skills were decent, and he had even served as a squad leader in Suhang, meaning he had contributed to the organization.
As for this Gu Chenan... although his abilities were unknown, the people from Suhang had said he was a spoiled rich kid, so his skills likely weren't that great.
"I..."
Hoshino Kannon was about to speak, but Gu Chenan stood up and stopped her.
Gu Chenan smiled faintly as he looked at the four: "If you have any issues, take them up with me. This has nothing to do with Kannon."
"Oh, playing the hero now?"
The group gave Gu Chenan a sidelong glance and continued mocking him.
One of them, a woman dressed provocatively, suddenly stood up and placed two fingers under Gu Chenan's chin, slowly tilting his face up.
"Not a bad face. No wonder Miss Hoshino brought you back to the organization."
"Since you also want to become one of The Twelve Owls, I can support you. You just need to come to my room tonight, how about that?"
She finished with a mocking laugh, covering her mouth.
Clearly, this woman was verbally insulting Gu Chenan.
Her actions implied that Gu Chenan was just a useless pretty boy.
Gu Chenan frowned, about to respond.
"He's mine!"
Hoshino Kannon suddenly stood up, batting the woman's hand away, her beautiful eyes filled with rage.
"Oh?"
The woman and the others were taken aback, then exchanged glances and laughed uproariously.
"Hahaha, Flower Sis, you don't need to tease others. Miss Hoshino sees him as her precious treasure."
"Look at Miss Hoshino's expression, as if her little boyfriend will be snatched away if she doesn't speak up."
"Aiya, if you ask me, Miss Hoshino trusts Mr. Gu a bit too much."
The constant mocking remarks made Hoshino Kannon clench her fists tightly.
At the same time, Hoshino Kannon realized how inappropriate her words "He's mine" had been.
Now everyone saw Gu Chenan as her little pretty boy boyfriend, and her words had only added fuel to the fire, making them look down on Gu Chenan even more.
Beside her, Gu Chenan smiled as if bathing in spring breeze, letting the group mock and laugh at him.
He knew there was no point in getting angry with these people now. If the two sides clashed, he would have no way to stay in Black Owl.
However, according to Black Owl's rules, if anyone could defeat any of The Twelve Owls, or fight them to a stalemate for two hours, they could become one of The Twelve Owls themselves.
[It seems this is the only way to make these people change their minds.]
Thinking this, Gu Chenan's fists slowly clenched under the table.
