"Is everyone here?" Jia Ke inquired.
HR manager Zhao Renna replied, "Gong Guan, Xiao Shou... they’re on a business trip; everyone else is here."
Jia Ke nodded and began, "The Angel Culture Art Event is hosted by our 1 1 Creative Co., Ltd... creating and promoting original cultural content, developing cultural creative products..."
As the director droned on, Nan Chu had already started recording with her phone during Jia Ke’s speech.
"All departnts must fully cooperate to make this event a success."
"Yes," everyone responded.
After finishing his speech, Director Jia looked at Song Yi, "Are they the new employees in the Custor Service Departnt?"
"Yes, Director Jia," Song Yi nodded.
Jia Ke said, "Since they’re new colleagues, let’s have so introductions so everyone can get to know you. Who wants to go first?"
Ke Nian stood up and said, "Hello Boss, hello colleagues, I’m Ke Nian, you can call Da Nian."
Xia Mingyu: "Hello everyone, my na is Xia Mingyu, you can call Mingyu."
...
...
After the new hires finished introducing themselves, Jia Ke nodded, "All young and vibrant, do well."
Then Jia Ke left.
Song Yi spoke up, "Everyone, return to your workstations and prepare well for the Angel Culture Art Event."
Nan Chu and the others walked slowly; after other colleagues left, she whispered, "You go back to your workstations first, I’m going to the bathroom to check sothing."
Li Wenya offered, "Nan Chu, I’ll go with you to keep watch."
"No need. Don’t forget, I’m quite alert; if soone cos, I’ll know," Nan Chu replied. "If you stand by the bathroom door, it’ll just draw attention."
"Oh, right. I’ll go back then," Li Wenya returned to her station.
Nan Chu confird the bathroom was empty, then she started checking herself in the mirror.
But nothing happened.
Nan Chu was puzzled but decided to head back to her workstation.
Back at her workstation, Li Wenya whispered, "Did you find anything?"
Nan Chu shook her head, indicating nothing had happened.
[Xia Mingyu]: How should we investigate Ming i’s information?
[Nan Chu]: Look for a chance to go to the HR departnt and check the new employee information.
[Su Xiao]: That’s a good idea, but how do we get there?
[Shao Zheng]: Let’s go to the third floor during lunch.
[Li Wenya]: Sounds good.
The morning passed, and during lunchti, Song Yi ca out of her office, saying, "It’s lunch break. You can order takeout or buy sothing from the store next to the company."
"Okay, Manager," Li Wenya nodded.
Once other employees left, Nan Chu and the others imdiately went up to the third floor.
Before entering the HR manager’s office, Nan Chu distributed white gloves to everyone. Once they wore them, they entered the office.
"The computer has a password," Su Xiao said, "The hint is, itImportant day?"
Ke Nian asked, "Important day? Is there a calendar marking certain dates?"
Su Xiao quickly picked up the calendar and flipped through it, only to say, "No dates are marked."
Xia Mingyu suggested, "Could it be related to this strange photo? There’s an image in the photo that matches the icon used by the HR manager on their computer."
Nan Chu glanced at it and instantly recognized, "Try 0317."
Su Xiao quickly entered 0317, and the computer unlocked.
Li Wenya curiously asked, "Nan Chu, how did you know the password was 0317?"
Nan Chu explained, "The hint was a date, and this strange photo definitely signifies a date."
"So the first two rows stand for months, and the five rows below indicate days. Look, there’s a heart on February, signifying Valentine’s Day; a tree on March, for Arbor Day; a labor symbol in May, for Labor Day..."
"And the HR manager’s picture is a tree, so the month and date with the tree symbol is March 17th."
Li Wenya and the others suddenly realized.
Nan Chu said, "Let’s start looking for the employee records."
Su Xiao imdiately began searching the computer’s C drive and found the employee profile docunts, locating Ming i’s file.
Ming i joined the company on August 2, 2025, and left on July 11, 2026, hired by the Public Relations Departnt.
Nan Chu took out a data cable, "Copy this docunt to a phone, in case we need other employee records later."
Su Xiao quickly copied the files to the phone, then they went to the Public Relations Departnt.
The Public Relations Manager Gong Guan’s computer also required a password.
Hint: A 1008.
The computer icon had three words: mouse pad.
Underneath the mouse pad was a question.
In the following multiplication equation, each letter represents a digit from 0 to 9, and different letters represent different digits:
AS * A
= MAN
Which digit is represented by A?
"Let’s solve it," Shao Zheng suggested.
Nan Chu started calculating in her head. "A can’t be 0, or M and N would also be 0."
"A can’t be 1, as the product doesn’t match AS."
"A can’t be 2, because the product won’t be three digits."
"A can’t be 3, as A*A doesn’t carry over to give a 4."
"A can’t be 4 or 7, since A*A doesn’t carry over to give an 8."
"A can’t be 5 or 6, since S would then be 0, making N equal to S; or S would be 1, making N equal to A."
"A can’t be 9, as this would require an 8 carryover, making A equal to S."
"Thus, A must be 8."
"With the password hint as A 1008, it’s 8 1008=1016."
Nan Chu entered 1016 and unlocked the computer.
On Gong Guan’s V, there were chat logs with Ming i.

April 11, 2026, 23:02
Gong Guan: Co to the hotel.
Ming i: I just had an abortion, and you still want to go! Are you human?!
Gong Guan: If you don’t co, I’ll send your video to your friends and family. Let them see your alluring body!
...
There were no chat logs between Gong Guan and Ming i after July 4, 2026.
Looking through other chat logs of Gong Guan, it turns out he even posted his girlfriend’s group sex videos in special groups and uploaded these videos to specific websites for profit.
Su Xiao exclaid angrily, "Gong Guan really is sothing else!"
He was actually threatening his girlfriend with private photos, then made her engage in sexual activities with others.
Afterward, he even uploaded these videos to various websites!
This is infuriating!
