Wen Shouyi was obviously stunned for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. "I don't know what you're talking about. It's none of my business which interview you got. It's because of your own ability that they didn't hire you. I used to say that you relied on others to climb your way up, but you didn't believe me. Do you believe me now? "
"Don't avoid the question. I'll find out if it was you or not. " Gu Nianzhi became unfathomable. "Wen Shouyi, don't blame me for not reminding you. I'm indeed a narrow-minded person who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. If you want to mess with me, you'd better kill me. Otherwise, as long as I'm alive, I won't let you off! "
Wen Shouyi wanted to throw her phone away. She sneered and said, "Your threat is enough to call the police. I've already recorded it. If this happens again, I'll call the police. "
"Sure." Gu Nianzhi propped her head up with her hand and said lazily, "So you recorded your phone call with Brother Little Ning. Are you always preparing receipts as evidence to present in court? Unfortunately, recordings can't be used as evidence unless it's a call from the notary office. "
"You don't know what you're talking about!" Wen Shouyi squeezed out the words from between her teeth.
Qin Zhining didn't want the two of them to quarrel. He held his phone and said to Gu Nianzhi, "I'll give you an explanation for this."
He wasn't someone who didn't understand the ways of the world. Since the Qin family had such a relationship with these four major law firms, it would only take a moment for Wen Shouyi to do something to trip Gu Nianzhi up.
He was already 80% to 90% convinced.
Qin Zhining walked out to the corridor with his phone and lit a cigarette. His voice was slightly cold. "Shouyi, let me ask you again. Did Nianzhi's rejection of the interview have anything to do with you?"
Wen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat.
Qin Zhining had never spoken to her like this before, and this attitude made her even more uneasy.
She held her phone and looked at Qin Yaoguang's ward. Looking through the half-open door, she could only see that the people inside had just sat down and looked like they were going to have a long talk.
She bit her lip and whispered to Qin Zhining, "Ah Ning, you don't believe me and only believe Gu Nianzhi?"
"I believe in evidence." Qin Zhining's emotions were very complicated. "We're all adults, and we've been in society for so many years. You want me to believe you just because you say you don't have it? Shouyi, am I too stupid in your heart, or do you think I'm not important enough to know the truth? "
Men and women in love are most afraid of being deceived.
The best weapon to cool down a relationship is betrayal.
Wen Shouyi was angry and anxious. She said angrily, "You've only been with Gu Nianzhi for a few days, yet you trust her so much and don't trust me?!"
Her heart turned cold. She couldn't believe that Gu Nianzhi was back. Even Qin Zhining was leaving her …
She had once deeply believed that this man would never leave her.
No matter what she did to him, no matter whether he was in her heart or not, this man would love her and protect her for the rest of his life.
Had she overestimated this man's infatuation with her?
Or was Gu Nianzhi simply too good at seducing men?
She was only a nineteen-year-old girl, but she was already so unrestrained.
Wen Shouyi's contempt for Gu Nianzhi was at its peak.
But no matter how much she looked down on Gu Nianzhi, she couldn't let go of Qin Zhining.
Wen Shouyi rubbed her temples and her voice became even lower.
She smiled bitterly and said, "Ah Ning, I didn't want to tell you about this, but since you asked me yourself, I can't hide it from you even if I have to hide it from everyone."
Qin Zhining's expression turned cold inch by inch. "So you were really behind Gu Nianzhi's rejection of the interview."
"Don't make it sound so bad," Wen Shouyi said sullenly. "How capable can I be? Why would they listen to me?"
"Then what do you mean?" Qin Zhining frowned. "You admitted it just now."
"Did I admit it?" Wen Shouyi couldn't help it. "You're indeed quite stupid. I was the one who made the call, but I wasn't the one who wanted to make the call. Her own mother didn't want her to get a good job, and you're blaming me for that? "
"Huh? You mean … Auntie Qin asked you to do it? "Qin Zhining's eyes widened in shock." Why did she do that? Nianzhi is her biological daughter! "
Wen Shouyi scoffed. "Why are you guys still so stubborn? Auntie Qin has said so many times that she doesn't treat her like her own daughter. She's disobedient now, and Auntie Qin said she wanted to teach her a lesson so that she wouldn't have a good life outside. Naturally, she would think of the good life at home. Don't interfere. This has nothing to do with you and me. Don't get caught up in the fight between mother and daughter. "
After a pause, she reminded Qin Zhining, "You and I are the ones who got caught up in the fight."
Qin Zhining fell silent. After a long while, he asked, "Is it really Auntie Qin?"
"If you don't believe me, call her or ask General He yourself." Wen Shouyi was impatient. "Auntie Qin asked General He for instructions. General He acquiesced. "
"It's still my fault." Qin Zhining now understood that Gu Nianzhi's bad luck this time was all thanks to him.
If he hadn't been nosy and told Wen Shouyi that Gu Nianzhi had received an interview notice from the four major law firms, she wouldn't have been so unlucky.
Wen Shouyi understood what he meant and knew that he was blaming her. Of course, he was blaming her as well.
She couldn't say that it was wrong. It was indeed because Qin Zhining had proudly praised Gu Nianzhi when he was chatting with Wen Shouyi on the phone that Wen Shouyi had "accidentally" let it slip and told Qin Yaoguang.
The atmosphere in Qin Yaoguang's ward was no less relaxed than outside.
There were some visitors in her ward.
The nurse cut them some fruit and brought it over. She smiled and said, "Old Mr. Qin, please sit here."
"Dad, why are you here?" Qin Yaoguang pressed the button on the bed and pushed the bed up.
Her face was pale as she sat on the bed.
Sitting in front of her was an old man with white hair and a ruddy face. His eyes were big and bright, but the expression on his face was very serious.
Old Master Qin was the current head of the Qin family and Qin Yaoguang's father.
"Yaoguang, I heard that Nianzhi is back. Did you treat her badly?" Master Qin's face was very solemn as he played with the two iron walnuts that had been wrapped in starch in his hands unhurriedly. "You don't love your own daughter, but you push her away and take a gardener's daughter as your baby. Are you out of your mind?"
Old Master Qin had just arrived in the imperial capital from Z City. It was said that he was here to see his long-lost granddaughter.
Qin Yaoguang frowned and avoided the topic. "What do you mean by out of your mind? Watch your words. Yes, she's back. She's been back for almost two weeks. What's wrong? Aren't you here to see me? "
She extended her hand, which was still wrapped in a white bandage, to Old Master Qin. "This is all thanks to her. As soon as she came back, she cut my hand!"
"Didn't she resist because you wanted to operate on her?" Old Master Qin glared at her. "I think you're asking for it!"
"Dad –! I'm your biological daughter! " Qin Yaoguang called out in a drawn-out voice. She was almost 50 years old, yet she was still acting coquettishly in front of her father. Old Master Qin's entourage had goosebumps.
Old Master Qin only had this one daughter in his life, and she had worked hard since she was young. He did indeed dote on her a lot.
The only dissatisfaction was probably her attitude towards his daughter.
"You also know that you're my biological daughter? Don't you know what your biological daughter is like? " Old Master Qin didn't hesitate to knock Qin Yaoguang down. "You're already so old, yet you still don't know the severity of things. You only have this one child. No matter how much you don't like her father, she's your biological daughter! "
Qin Yaoguang pursed her lips and leaned against the hospital bed. She said lightly, "I've also said it before. The biological child I approve of should be a child born from mutual love. Does she deserve it? "
"You're her biological mother, and you personally carried her for ten months. She's the only surviving child," Old Master Qin said meaningfully. "I thought you would value her very much."
"I know, so what? It only proves that the experiment was successful. " Qin Yaoguang shrugged, her expression very indifferent. "Don't tell me I still have to pour maternal love into my house of lab rats? Dad, do you think this is fair to me? "
"My job is to do experiments. My dream is to find a scientific and efficient treatment method to overcome all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases." Qin Yaoguang turned her head away. "It was that lunatic Gu Xiangwen who suggested doing the experiment, but I was the one who did the follow-up work. I failed so many times, and it wasn't easy for me to succeed once. Are you satisfied? Now that you remember that Nianzhi is a human being, you immediately threw all the mess to me and turned around to accuse me of being inhumane!"
"I'm sorry, I'm just like that. I can't have maternal love for experimental equipment and objects!" Qin Yaoguang straightened her neck and her face was red with anger. Old Master Qin was almost speechless.
"Evil creature! You evil creature! "Old Master Qin pointed at her and coughed violently." Come with me to apologize to Nianzhi! You can't be like this in the future! No matter what, she's Young Master He's fiancée. For Nianzhi's sake, for … for the He family's sake, treat her better … "
Old Master Qin fainted as he spoke, scaring Qin Yaoguang so much that she almost fell off the hospital bed.
"Dad! Don't scare me? Are you okay? Call the doctor! Call the doctor! "
This was the Qin Corporation's private hospital. The chairman of the board of directors suddenly fell ill in his own hospital and immediately received first-class treatment.
Wen Shouyi watched as the doctor ran in and pushed Old Master Qin out. She quickly said into the phone, "I still have something to do. Talk to you later."
She quickly hung up the phone and ran into Qin Yaoguang's ward.
Qin Yaoguang ordered her with a cold expression, "Get me discharged. I want to be discharged."
..
Qin Zhining returned to Gu Nianzhi's hotel room and looked down at his phone. His heart was in turmoil.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him with disdain and said, "You can go. I'm moving away today too."
"Where are you moving to?" Qin Zhining leaned against the door awkwardly. "I'll send you there."
"I'm going to rent a house," Gu Nianzhi said as she began to pack her suitcase.
She had already spent 15,000 yuan in the three days she had stayed here.
She only had the 100,000 yuan He Zhichu had given her. She had spent 60,000 yuan on the car and 15,000 yuan on the hotel. In addition to the food and things she had bought for the past few days, she only had about 20,000 yuan left.
It was only enough for her to rent a small one-bedroom house in a cheaper residential area in Nancheng District.
Gu Nianzhi had already made an appointment online to look at the house today. If it was ready, she could move in immediately.
Qin Zhining felt guilty. Although Gu Nianzhi had rebuked him, he didn't take it to heart. He followed her to Nancheng District to look at the house and watched her sign a half-year rental contract with the landlord.
The small house here cost 3,000 yuan a month. After paying half a year's rent and deposit, Gu Nianzhi only had 2,000 yuan left in her bank card.
The house had simple furniture, so it was okay to live in, but she still had to buy some daily necessities.
Qin Zhining followed her to the supermarket to buy kitchen utensils and bathroom supplies.
Gu Nianzhi's taste in shopping was more picky.
Qin Zhining helped her pay for the whole set, which cost nearly 10,000 yuan.
Gu Nianzhi was in too much debt to worry about. She said nonchalantly, "Put it on the account. I'll pay you back 110,000 yuan when I have the money."
Qin Zhining: "…"
..
Gu Nianzhi rented a house, bought daily necessities and some simple furniture, and decorated the house. It looked a little like her apartment over there.
The second-hand house that she had bought with her own money.
Qin Zhining saw that she had settled down, so he went from light to dark and hid in C City.
Gu Nianzhi began her nine-to-five life as an office worker.
The work at the law firm was very simple.
In the first month of her work, Jin Dazhuang only asked her to familiarize herself with the cases here, understand the applicable laws, and see if there were any mistakes in the previous cases. She just had to write him a memo.
She didn't have to worry about receiving clients and contacting new clients for the time being. She just had to learn from him.
Jin Dazhuang was a very good boss. He gave her the opportunity and time to learn. Like a teacher in school, he couldn't wait to teach her step by step.
Gu Nianzhi also studied very seriously. She wanted to figure out how the legal system here was different from the other side so that she could really carry out her work and not make a fool of herself.
In her spare time, she used her phone to surf the internet to understand the situation in the world.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could you win a hundred battles.
Gu Nianzhi had always remembered Huo Shaoheng's words. It was fine if she didn't make a move, but once she made a move, she had to have absolute confidence in killing the other party.
..
Soon, Gu Nianzhi's first week at work passed peacefully.
It was another Monday. When Gu Nianzhi woke up that morning, she felt cold. She pushed open the window and stretched out her hand. It seemed to have suddenly become cold outside.
Autumn had officially arrived.
The leaves of the ginkgo tree were scattered all over the street like small fans.
It was just like the ginkgo tree at the entrance of Huo Shaoheng's Special Operations Forces residence.
Gu Nianzhi stared blankly at the street for a while and closed the window tightly.
After washing up, she changed into a peach-colored wool cardigan and a black wool pencil skirt. She carried her Hermes platinum bag out the door.
"Miss Gu, you're going to work?" The neighbor greeted her with a smile. "Have you had breakfast? I have fried rice cakes and xiaolongbao here. I also have pan-fried rice cakes. Do you want something a little smaller? "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head. She learned to speak C City's dialect. "I've eaten. Thank you, Granny.
"Okay, okay. This bag is really beautiful. Where did you buy it? How much did it cost? "
Gu Nianzhi blinked and said calmly, "This is a high-grade imitation I bought. It cost one or two thousand yuan."
The Hermes platinum bag that was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan wore a "high-grade imitation" hat and squatted in the corner, shivering …
..
She drove to the Dongcheng District. The building where she worked was called the Lu Building. It had a total of 36 floors and towered into the clouds.
After parking the car, she didn't take the elevator. She took the stairs directly from the underground parking lot to the second floor. It was convenient and fast, and she could also exercise.
She arrived a little late because of the traffic jam today. However, Jin Dazhuang didn't particularly care about attendance. When he saw her arrive, he just nodded casually and said, "I'm going out to meet a client today. Remember to stay here in the morning. Xiao Zhang at the front desk took half a day off today and will only be here at noon. If you leave, there will be no one in the office."
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "No problem, leave it to me."
She had nothing to do the whole morning. She finished her daily work and when it was lunchtime, Xiao Zhang at the front desk came.
Both of them were young girls, and the boss wasn't around. They quickly got together and started gossiping.
Xiao Zhang said mysteriously, "Lawyer Gu, do you know what kind of big shot is coming today?"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"I don't know."
In their small law firm, a street director was already a big shot.
Xiao Zhang tugged at her sleeve. "It's really a big shot. I heard that the chairman of the Qin Corporation is coming. When I went upstairs, the entrance of the building was already under martial law. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"Qin Corporation? Which Qin Corporation? "Gu Nianzhi asked carefully, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
In the end, it really was such a coincidence.
"… It's the Qin Corporation that runs a private hospital! Don't tell me you don't even know about the Qin Private Hospital? "Xiao Zhang rolled her eyes at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said casually, "Is it very famous? I'm from the countryside, so I don't know. "
Before she could finish speaking, a man pushed open the small glass door of their law firm.
He was wearing a well-ironed suit, and his hair was combed until it was shiny. His entire body seemed to say, "I am the CEO's secretary."
"May I ask if Miss Gu Nianzhi is here? Our Chairman Qin wants to see her. "
The man spoke politely and gave Xiao Zhang at the front desk a shiny business card that still smelled of perfume.
