Gu Nianzhi vaguely knew that when Hong Kangquan escaped, he must have had something in his hands, although she didn't know what it was.
That was the only way the Japanese would be willing to sacrifice their spy chain in the Huaxia Empire for so many years to send him away.
Although they didn't succeed in the end, the Huaxia Empire almost lost many elites of the Special Operations Forces.
If it weren't for Gu Nianzhi and Song Jinning, it would have been Huo Shaoheng and his men who died of suffocation at the bottom of the sea in Japan, not the elites of the Japanese frogmen.
Now that she heard Reinitz say that Hong Kangquan had contacted the Americans before contacting the Japanese, Gu Nianzhi felt that this made sense.
She had always known that Hong Kangquan was backed by the Americans, so when she found out that it was the Japanese who received him, Gu Nianzhi was a little surprised.
She immediately asked, "Contacted the Americans? Who did you hear this from? "
Reinitz let out a magnetic chuckle. "… When you get off work tonight, I'll pick you up and go to your house to cook for you. I'll tell you the details." He then hung up.
Gu Nianzhi stared at her phone and complained to herself about Reinitz's rudeness.
He kept her in suspense and forced her to eat his cooking …
Gu Nianzhi turned on her computer with a gloomy expression. She suppressed her uneasiness and began to work.
She hadn't been in for four or five days, and there was nothing in her mailbox, but Special Assistant Zhuang sent her contract.
Gu Nianzhi printed out the contract and read it carefully. Seeing that it was only for two years and that the salary was reasonable, she signed it with confidence and personally delivered it to Special Assistant Zhuang.
Special Assistant Zhuang was now on the same floor as Speaker Long, and his office was directly across from Speaker Long's.
"Special Assistant Zhuang, I still need Speaker Long's signature here. Do you want to send it over, or do you want me to ask Speaker Long to sign it myself?" Gu Nianzhi smiled as she placed the printed and signed contract on Special Assistant Zhuang's desk.
Special Assistant Zhuang took it and quickly looked at it. He signed his name first and said, "Put it here. When Speaker Long comes out of the meeting, I'll personally bring it to him for his signature."
"Thank you, Special Assistant Zhuang." Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she pushed the door open and left.
As soon as she returned to her office, she saw Rong Mingxing standing in front of her door.
Gu Nianzhi coughed behind her. "Miss Rong, what's the matter?"
Rong Mingxing turned around abruptly and saw Gu Nianzhi standing behind her. Her snow-white face instantly flushed, and she stammered, "Miss Gu, are you free? I have something to discuss with you. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Please come in."
She walked in first.
Rong Mingxing followed her in and closed the office door.
Half the walls of Gu Nianzhi's small office were made of transparent glass, so the people inside could be seen from the outside.
Unless the blinds were drawn, there would be some privacy.
Gu Nianzhi saw that Rong Mingxing seemed to have something to say, so she asked politely, "Should I close the curtains?"
"Oh, no, it's fine like this." Rong Mingxing carefully sat down in front of her.
Both of them were facing the glass wall.
Gu Nianzhi took an unopened bottle of mineral water from the table and handed it to Rong Mingxing. "… I took this from the small kitchen in the secretariat."
Rong Mingxing took it and said, "Thank you." Then she looked at Gu Nianzhi and bit her lip without saying anything.
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything and just looked at her with a smile.
Competing to see who could lose their cool and speak first?
Gu Nianzhi had only lost to Huo Shaoheng before, so Rong Mingxing's level wasn't enough for her.
The two of them stared at each other for a full three minutes, and Rong Mingxing was defeated.
She looked away and looked down at Gu Nianzhi's desk, which was also a computer desk, and murmured, "Miss Gu, aren't you curious about what I have to say?"
"Why should I be curious? It's not like I'm the one talking to you. " Gu Nianzhi replied calmly. Her tone was flat and emotionless, and she had a very businesslike attitude.
Rong Mingxing was overwhelmed by Gu Nianzhi's aura.
It was as if she wasn't facing a 19-year-old graduate who had just graduated with a master's degree, but a sophisticated and astute veteran who had been in politics for more than a decade …
But Gu Nianzhi clearly wasn't like that …
Rong Mingxing couldn't explain why she felt this way. Her legs were trembling, and she wanted nothing more than to run away. But when she thought that she would have nothing if she left, she quickly mustered up her courage.
She clenched her fists under the table to cheer herself up. She looked up at Gu Nianzhi and whispered, "Miss Gu, I heard you've already signed the contract?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
She had clearly just sent the contract up!
But she also knew that there were almost no secrets working in a place like this.
Moreover, the work contract wasn't a secret, because after Speaker Long signed it, it would be posted in the public area where everyone could see it for a month until no one had any objections. Only then would it be considered officially approved.
Everyone knew who was going to be promoted, who was leaving, who offended who, and who was sucking up to who.
Rong Mingxing would soon see Gu Nianzhi's work contract on the bulletin board, and even the salary was not confidential.
Because the salary information of the Senate and government agencies was not considered personal privacy, it had to be displayed to the public.
Gu Nianzhi quickly figured this out and nodded. "Yes, I just signed it. What's wrong?"
Rong Mingxing twisted the corners of her clothes with both hands, and her thin lips moved. She hummed and hawed for a long time before saying, "… Then can I ask you to do me a favor on account of us being schoolmates …"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
She really wanted to say, why should I help you? Just because we're schoolmates?
But I didn't even know your name when I was in school, and you're a graduate student and an undergraduate student. This favor is too far.
Gu Nianzhi muttered a few words in her heart but didn't say it out loud.
Forget it, she would help if she could.
Gu Nianzhi noticed that Rong Mingxing was dressed very plainly. The clothes were of a new style, but it was obviously a knockoff. The threads at the corners of the clothes were showing, and the fabric and cut were very ordinary. It had the shape, but not the spirit. It could be seen that her family was probably not very well off.
Gu Nianzhi sighed in her heart, and her tone softened a lot. "What kind of favor? Tell me first. "
Rong Mingxing knew there was hope as soon as she heard this, and she immediately became more energetic.
She immediately said, "Do you agree? I'll tell you if you agree. "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
How could she ask for help like this?
She hadn't even said what it was, and she wanted her to agree first. She didn't even say anything if she didn't agree.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't interested in being perfunctory, so she said lightly, "Then you don't have to say it. I won't see you out, thank you for closing the door."
As she spoke, she looked at the computer and ignored Rong Mingxing.
Rong Mingxing didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to turn hostile so quickly. She was extremely embarrassed, but she couldn't bear to leave.
Her backer was originally Special Assistant Yang, but she heard that Special Assistant Yang had lost his job because he had offended Gu Nianzhi.
Rong Mingxing couldn't rely on Special Assistant Yang anymore, so she could only rely on Gu Nianzhi.
She thought about it and finally said, "Miss Gu, it's like this. I was thinking that since you've already signed the contract, can you not take the exam, or just answer a few random questions during the exam and don't pass …"
Gu Nianzhi looked at her and shook her head. "No, isn't that cheating? I won't do that. "
"But Miss Gu, you've already signed the contract. I heard Special Assistant Zhuang say that even if you fail, it won't stop you from getting the job. Why are you still being so overbearing?"
Rong Mingxing was very puzzled.
It was obviously a simple matter, so why wouldn't Gu Nianzhi help her out of respect for their schoolmates?
"… As long as you fail, I can get the position," Rong Mingxing said very nervously. "My family isn't well off, so it doesn't matter. I really need this job. Miss Gu, I know you know a lot of people, and they're all high-ranking officials. You don't need to squeeze into this single-log bridge with a commoner like me. Besides, you've already signed the contract, so the exam is just a formality. Why can't you even let go of a formality? "
Rong Mingxing had consulted Special Assistant Yang.
They only had one position for the Senate's recruitment this time.
However, Gu Nianzhi was considered a special recruit. In other words, if she failed the exam, her position would be extra and wouldn't take up the official position.
With the questions that Special Assistant Yang had left out for Rong Mingxing, Rong Mingxing was very confident that she could get first place and get the official position.
Of course, the premise was that Gu Nianzhi, the "top student," didn't do too well on the exam.
If Gu Nianzhi also got first place on the written exam, there wouldn't be an extra position, and Rong Mingxing wouldn't be able to enter the Senate as an official employee.
Gu Nianzhi listened to Rong Mingxing and finally understood why she wanted her help.
She was a little hesitant.
Indeed, what Rong Mingxing said made some sense.
She had already signed the contract, so no matter what her results were, she had already taken up the position. Why should she fight with others?
But what did Rong Mingxing mean by that?
As far as Gu Nianzhi knew, Rong Mingxing wasn't the only candidate other than Gu Nianzhi.
However, her attitude was very firm, as if she would definitely get first place as long as Gu Nianzhi failed the exam …
