Zhao Liangze rushed in excitedly with his laptop. Lu Jin put his phone back in his pocket, took off his suit jacket, and hung it on his arm. He looked at Gu Nianzhi and said, "Lawyer Gu, Director Zhao is here to help. Why don't we all go back and rest?"
Gu Nianzhi raised her head from her phone and looked at Zhao Liangze, then at Bai Shuang, who had moved closer to Zhao Liangze to look at the computer screen with him. She pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll go back with you."
As she spoke, she winked at Bai Shuang. "Bai Shuang, I'm leaving first. You should rest early too. Director Zhao will probably have to stay up all night. "
Bai Shuang stood up in embarrassment and said softly, "Sorry to trouble you, Lawyer Gu. Rest early. I'll go to the kitchen to make coffee."
How could people who stayed up all night not have coffee?
Gu Nianzhi waved at her, then coughed at Zhao Liangze. "Director Zhao, I'll leave this matter to you."
Zhao Liangze didn't even raise his head as he replied calmly, "No problem. Come see the results tomorrow morning."
Lu Jin scoffed and shrugged. "It doesn't matter if there's no result tomorrow. Lawyer Gu, I'll help you find a better software engineer. It'll be done within three minutes. "
Zhao Liangze slowly raised his head and glanced at Lu Jin. He snorted and resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Lu, bragging has to be taxed. I won't be sending you off. "
Gu Nianzhi saw that Zhao Liangze had been ridiculed too harshly by Lu Jin, so she quickly held back her laughter and spoke up for him. "Director Zhao, don't scare Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu was just joking."
Lu Jin frowned and stood at the door blocking the door. With a serious expression, he said, "I'm not joking."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
"You don't have to pay taxes for bragging, unless you're bragging on the financial statements of a listed company and exaggerating the income data, also known as making false accounts, then you have to pay taxes." Lu Jin was very serious and did not let Zhao Liangze off at all.
Zhao Liangze thumped his forehead in exasperation.
How could he forget?
She couldn't say another word to someone like Lu Jin.
Zhao Liangze gritted his teeth and said nothing more.
Gu Nianzhi tugged at Lu Jin's sleeve in amusement and whispered, "Mr. Lu, let's go. We still have a lot to do."
Lu Jin's irritation was immediately soothed. He smiled and said, "Yes, what happened here has nothing to do with us. We're going to Disneyland tomorrow. Go to bed early today."
Gu Nianzhi quickly walked out of Dresden's luxurious suite with Lu Jin and went back to her room to rest.
She was really exhausted from the evening.
After returning to her room and taking a shower, Gu Nianzhi climbed into bed. However, she could not fall asleep.
Today was her twentieth birthday, but she was spending it all alone.
For the past few years, the birthday party had never been so deserted.
Although it was his choice, he was not used to it.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it, then took out her phone and sent herself a text message: Nianzhi, happy birthday to you. Have a happy birthday every year. Come on!
After sending the text message to herself, she still wanted to continue.
Then, he took his laptop and registered two new accounts online. He named one "Huo Shaoheng" and the other "Gu Xiangwen".
Then, he used the two newly registered accounts to send himself a text message.
[Huo Shaoheng]: My little darling, happy birthday to you. I miss you so much that I want to kiss you …
[Gu Xiangwen]: My precious daughter, daddy wishes you a happy birthday from heaven!
She looked at the two new text messages on her phone with satisfaction. She pasted them on and kissed the two names. She thought to herself, Who isn't a drama queen?
She was able to play the role of a triangle perfectly.
She put away her phone and was about to go to sleep when her phone vibrated again. Someone was calling.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the name on her phone. It was He Chengjian.
She frowned. She didn't want to pick it up, but the other party kept calling. In the end, she swiped open her phone and answered the call. She said indifferently, "Hello, General He. It's so late. What's the matter?"
He Chengjian could hear the distance and estrangement in her tone, but he didn't care. He smiled and said, "Nianzhi, today is your 20th birthday. Uncle He wishes you a happy birthday."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She had always had a lot of opinions and resentment towards He Chengjian, but she couldn't hate such a late night happy birthday call.
She held her phone for a while and nodded. "Thank you, Uncle He.
From General He to Uncle He, the change in how she addressed him was enough to prove the change in her state of mind.
He Chengjian laughed. "Good girl, I gave you a birthday present. Go buy something you like. Zhichu is out on a mission and can't celebrate your birthday with you. He asked me to say happy birthday on his behalf. "
Gu Nianzhi sighed in her heart.
No matter how much He Chengjian had done to her, she had to admit that He Chengjian was a good father to He Zhichu.
"Thank you, Uncle He. Young Master He celebrated my birthday a few days ago." Gu Nianzhi's voice softened. "Take care of yourself, and tell him to take care of himself."
"Okay, I know. Thank you, Nianzhi." He Chengjian said a few more words of concern before putting down the phone.
As soon as He Chengjian hung up, Gu Nianzhi saw a text message about a bank transfer.
A seven-figure sum of money was transferred to her bank account, and the message was: Happy Birthday.
It was from He Chengjian.
This was He Chengjian's birthday present for her.
What a generous gift.
Gu Nianzhi, who had been struggling with half a month's salary because of Lu Jin's meal yesterday, had immediately become a rich woman again.
Gu Nianzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She thought about going to Disneyland tomorrow. She could pay the bill herself and wouldn't have to borrow someone else's car.
..
Lu Jin smiled and returned to the presidential suite that he and Lu Yuan shared. He saw that Lu Yuan had already returned and was sitting on the sofa reading documents.
"You're in such a good mood?" Lu Yuan put down the documents and picked up the remote control to turn on the TV. "What's the good news?"
"I'm going to Disneyland with Nianzhi tomorrow." Lu Jin was very proud. He looked at himself in the mirror and threw the suit on his arm onto the sofa.
Lu Yuan frowned. "Have you been interacting with Nianzhi too much lately? You know that someone has been spying on Nianzhi, right? "
Lu Jin's face darkened. "You don't have to tell me. Of course I know. Qin Zhining, that little guy with a low IQ since he was young, even learned to spy on others. If I don't bring him into the ditch tomorrow, I'll write my name backwards! "
Lu Yuan scoffed. Seeing that he knew what he was doing, he didn't say anything else.
..
At the same time, in the study of the He family's mansion in the imperial capital, He Chengjian had just ended his call with Gu Nianzhi. He put on his reading glasses and read the briefing from H City sent by his subordinates.
Dresden's matter was going smoothly. A few of the CIA's peripheral henchmen had been killed, and their bodies had been placed at the entrance of the CIA's office in H City. It had indeed given them a shock.
A group of people went to the police station in H City to call the police, but they couldn't provide any clues. Instead, because of the guns and bullets they had on them, they were found to be related to the attack at the Four Seasons Hotel that night. The CIA's office in H City was in a mess and had lost face.
He Zhichu didn't have to worry about it for the time being.
He smiled in satisfaction and tapped his fingers on the desk. He hummed an opera, "I'll beat you with a steel whip" as he continued to read.
Next was the news about Gu Nianzhi.
He had arranged for someone to secretly protect Gu Nianzhi. Of course, they were also monitoring her.
Every once in a while, someone would report Gu Nianzhi's situation in detail.
As he read, the corners of his lips gradually drooped.
His brows furrowed.
Because the briefing clearly stated that Gu Nianzhi had deliberately approached Xie Qingying and asked about Gu Xiangwen and Xie Ziyan's whereabouts.
It was fine if she asked Gu Xiangwen. No matter what, Gu Xiangwen was her biological father.
Although He Chengjian hated Gu Xiangwen very much, if Gu Nianzhi returned to this side and ignored her biological father, He Chengjian couldn't help but think that she was cold.
Now it was just right. One more would be too much, and one less would be heartless. He Chengjian was very satisfied.
However, he was not happy that Gu Nianzhi had asked about Xie Ziyan.
Who was Xie Ziyan?
What did it have to do with her?
Xie Ziyan was Huo Shaoheng's biological grandmother in the other world.
Gu Nianzhi was also looking for her in this world. Wasn't it because she had ulterior motives?
He Chengjian's face darkened as he carefully read the conversation between Gu Nianzhi and Xie Qingying a few more times. Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Nianzhi had actually asked Xie Qingying if the Xie family had asked the KGB of the Soviet Union to help find someone.
That's right, why hadn't he thought of that?
Three years ago, He Chengjian had used his own country's field personnel to find someone in the Soviet Union, so he hadn't alerted the Soviet Union's official agencies.
In fact, if they wanted to find someone in the Soviet Union, if the KGB of the Soviet Union was ranked second, no one would dare to rank first.
There were only people they didn't want to find, and there was no one they couldn't find.
He Chengjian thought of the encrypted telegram sent by the Soviet Union for help. He patted his head and called his personal secretary. He said, "Call the Soviet Union back and ask their KGB system to help find someone. The only daughter of the older generation of the Xie family, Xie Ziyan. "
This time, the Soviet Union had indeed put in a lot of effort for the American Dresden.
The Soviet Union's national leader, Pushin, had personally called him this morning to ask for his help.
He Chengjian took the opportunity to ask for some benefits for the country. For example, he asked to buy a few Soviet White Swan nuclear strategic bombers.
This would have been impossible in the past, but this time, Pushin agreed immediately and sold them three at a preferential price.
He Chengjian felt that he could make another request, and that was to ask the KGB of the Soviet Union to help find Xie Ziyan's whereabouts.
This time, regardless of whether she was alive or dead, there would definitely be a result.
After the personal secretary called the Soviet Union back, He Chengjian's emotions were very complicated.
He couldn't figure out whether he wanted Xie Ziyan to be alive or if he wanted her to be dead long ago.
Before dawn, the Soviet Union sent him a message and gave him a clear answer.
It turned out that Xie Ziyan had joined the KGB not long after she went to the Soviet Union!
She was once one of the few female higher-ups in the KGB, had a short marriage history, and had two children …
No wonder they couldn't find Xie Ziyan's whereabouts no matter what. It turned out that she had joined the KGB.
