The bald director panicked suddenly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. They knew the Base Commander?
He kept wiping his sweat and hurriedly changed his story, "This, this is my fault. I was deceived by this woman. She has something on me, so I had no choice but to help her. Please, don't report us."
As he spoke, he distanced himself from the female sales clerk. He had a wife and children. Holding such a position at the base, with his family still intact—something many envied—he had been momentarily blinded by folly. How had he gotten himself into this?
Now, hearing that they might report directly to the Base Commander, he was truly frightened. He wasn't stupid; losing his job would mean survival was at stake.
Thus, he had to cut the Gordian knot to save his job.
The sales clerk looked at the bald director in disbelief, "Brother Wang, how can you say that? You promised to take care of me for a lifetime."
Gu Pan twitched his mouth. Was this woman delusional?
