Chapter 1476: Throw Away A Brick To Get The Gem

He Chengjian meant to give Gu Nianzhi a few more days to prevent her from undergoing the surgery right away.

Gu Nianzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t expected that she would be able to convince He Chengjian with just a few words.

However, she immediately realized that He Chengjian and the other higher-ups had probably already planned to make a move on the Qin family’s medical skills, but they hadn’t made a move until she had suggested a good point of entry. That was why they had seized the opportunity so quickly, they had been “persuaded” so quickly because they had used her as a cover.

No matter what, she had achieved her goal. If she was a cover, then so be it. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and smiled sweetly at He Chengjian. “General He is so wise! I’m sure you’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I was just throwing a brick to get the jade. I believe that General He must have a better way to use science and technology serve the people, and not as a means for a minority to gain privileges.”

He Chengjian smiled and understood what Gu Nianzhi meant. He gently pinched Gu Nianzhi’s nose. “... You’re the smart one.”

He did it naturally, as if Gu Nianzhi had grown up next to him. The seven years between them were no longer there, and they hadn’t been apart for a single day.

Wen Shouyi could no longer laugh.

She had been in the He family for seven years, which was less than Gu Nianzhi’s short hour.

In that short hour, she had already succeeded in making General He look at her differently, and even become intimate with her.

God knows how much effort she had to put in to get a look of appreciation from General He!

Wen Shouyi felt deeply aggrieved.

Feeling very uncomfortable, she held Qin Yaoguang’s arm and stood to the side.

Qin Yaoguang pursed her lips and didn’t look at Gu Nianzhi. She only stared at He Chengjian and said, “Brother He, I have something to say to you.”

He Chengjian was a little embarrassed. “I have a meeting with Speaker Long and Prime Minister Xie right away.”

He looked at his watch. “We’ll talk about it when I get back from the meeting.”

What meeting?

Of course, it was a meeting to discuss the transfer of the technology to the state.

Qin Yaoguang nodded calmly and glanced at Gu Nianzhi from the corner of her eye. Thinking that her smile was as annoying as her father’s, she snorted in her heart.

Gu Nianzhi saw Qin Yaoguang looking at her from the corner of her eye. She smiled at her and made an OK gesture.

Qin Yaoguang: “...”

Just as He Chengjian was about to leave her room, Gu Nianzhi remembered something important. She trotted behind He Chengjian and raised her hands in front of her, then said pitifully, “General He, can you assign Qin Zhining to be my bodyguard? I’m so scared here alone...”

Wen Shouyi rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard this.

Gu Nianzhi would be scared?

It was clearly other people who were afraid of her!

What was with the act of feigning weakness!

She alone rivaled thousands of soldiers and horses, okay?!

Did she know that she had almost torn the entire Qin family apart just now? That was amazing!

He Chengjian was also a little confused. “You won’t be in danger in my house.”

“I’m not afraid of anything else. “Gu Nianzhi simply laid it out. “I’m just worried that someone has installed inappropriate surveillance equipment in my room. Otherwise, why wouldn’t I dare to change my clothes or take a shower or wash my hair?”

“That’s impossible.” He Chengjian didn’t think much of it. “You’re overthinking it. The room you’re staying in is yours to begin with. The surveillance equipment is in the corridor, not in the room.”

Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. “I can’t be careless. Miss Wen used to install surveillance cameras in my room, so I’m worried. I have to find someone I trust to personally check it out.”

Wen Shouyi didn’t expect Gu Nianzhi to call her out, and was instantly enraged.”... You’re talking nonsense! When did I install surveillance cameras in your room?! You were with Major General Huo, so how could I be so impressive as to be able to installing surveillance cameras?!”

Gu Nianzhi scoffed. “Miss Wen, you’re so forgetful. It was Brother Xiong who found the surveillance cameras in my apartment in America. Do you want us to confront him?”

Wen Shouyi’s face flushed red.

She had forgotten about this.

How long ago had it been, yet Gu Nianzhi still remembered it clearly...

She lowered her head in embarrassment, and a sinister expression flashed through her eyes.

He Chengjian looked at Gu Nianzhi, then at Wen Shouyi, and finally nodded. “I’ll get someone to call Xiao Qin and ask him to stay with you for a few days.”

He stroked her hair, then quickly retracted his hand and said nonchalantly, “You should rest well for a few days, it’s time to wash your hair...”

Gu Nianzhi giggled. “Thanks to you, I’ve been busy running for my life these past few days and haven’t had time to wash my hair.”

He Chengjian laughed again.”... Naughty.”

Wen Shouyi’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she watched from the side.

The number of times she had seen He Chengjian laugh in the past seven years was less than in the one hour she had seen today!

He Chengjian turned around and left first. Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi walked behind him.

Wen Shouyi whispered, “... Uncle He seems to be in a good mood today...”

“Of course he’s in a good mood. He’s smiling more than he has in the past seven years...” Qin Yaoguang sighed and gave a half-hearted smile. “That wretched girl, she only knows how to go against me. You’re more sensible and won’t make Auntie Qin unhappy.”

Wen Shouyi gave a dry smile and didn’t reply.

Qin Yaoguang was actually a little anxious. The core technology of the Qin family wouldn’t be passed on to outsiders because of Gu Nianzhi’s words.

After chatting with Wen Shouyi for a while, Qin Yaoguang walked quickly to the door. “I need to go to the hospital to take a look. Keep an eye on this wretched girl so she doesn’t overturn the situation.”

“I know.” Wen Shouyi saw Qin Yaoguang to the car and watched her leave.

..

Gu Nianzhi smiled and waved at their backs. She was in a great mood and went back to the sofa to lie down. She took out her phone and started surfing the internet to understand every detail of the world.

As an online netizen, the main way she understood the world was through the internet.

So whether it was here or there, it didn’t make any difference to her as long as she had the internet.

She browsed the Internet for a while on the sofa and heard someone knocking at the door.

She looked up and saw a screen made of an unknown material on the opposite wall. It was Qin Zhining in military uniform.

Gu Nianzhi was beaming with joy. She ran to open the door and gave Qin Zhining a big smile. “Brother Little Ning!”

Qin Zhining looked at her for a while before smiling. “You’re Gu Nianzhi?! Tsk tsk, I haven’t seen you in seven years. You’ve grown so tall!”

He walked in and looked at her again. “You’ve slimmed down and become prettier.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart itched when she saw Qin Zhining like this. She really wanted to see if he still remembered that he had gone over to pick her up.

She rolled her eyes and asked Qin Zhining, “Brother Ning, you remember that I’m Gu Nianzhi, right?”

“... To be precise, Shouyi just told me that you’re back and specifically asked me to protect you.” Qin zhining said honestly, “If I saw you outside, I would never have thought that you were little sister Nianzhi.”

Gu Nianzhi replied with an “oh” and asked with a smile, “Feel free to sit down. Do you want tea or coffee?”

Qin Zhining sat down on the sofa in the middle of the living room and said with a smile, “Coffee, thank you.”

Gu Nianzhi took a bottle of iced coffee from the fridge and placed it in front of him. She sat cross-legged on the carpet across from him, looked up at him, and said with a smile, “Brother Little Ning, why are you so distant? We just broke up yesterday, and you don’t remember me today?”

Qin Zhining was stunned. “Just broke up yesterday? Where did that come from? I was in the military training yesterday!”

Not letting go of any of his words and actions, Gu Nianzhi stared at Qin Zhining.

She observed him for a long time, and then interrogated him for a long time. She had to admit that Qin Zhining really didn’t remember that he had gone to “the other side” to pick her up and that they had encountered danger on Snake Island in the Caribbean.

It seemed that the surgery was really scary.

Gu Nianzhi became even more determined. She couldn’t accept this surgery.

If she really couldn’t escape, she would rather die.

After making up her mind, Gu Nianzhi was no longer conflicted.

She stood up and patted the wrinkled clothes on her body. She said briskly, “Brother Little Ning, I want to take a shower. Help me look in this room and see if there are any surveillance cameras.”

Qin Zhining frowned. “No way! This is your room. Why would there be surveillance cameras?”

“I was worried, so I asked you to help me look.” Gu Nianzhi knew there was an infrared detector that could check if there were any hidden surveillance cameras installed in the room.

Qin Zhining couldn’t resist Gu Nianzhi’s instigation, so he went out to find the equipment and came back to help Gu Nianzhi check for surveillance cameras.

He was surprised to see Wen Shouyi at the top of the stairs. “What are you doing with this?”

“Oh, Nianzhi said she wanted me to find out if there were any surveillance cameras in her room.” Qin Zhining had always answered Wen Shouyi’s questions, and was happy to see her.

Wen Shouyi chuckled. “You really care about her.”

“This is General He’s order. I have to carry it out,” Qin Zhining said with a smile. “And I’ve known Nianzhi since she was a child. Now that I’ve seen her grow up, she’s still no stranger to me.”
