"You've been following me for a long time. Have you noticed anything?" Standing on the elevator, Jiang Chen glanced at Zhao Qiuran next to him and asked.
"Uh …" Zhao Qiuran scratched her head.
"You wouldn't have forgotten what I said, right?" Jiang Chen said with a half-smile.
Looking at Jiang Chen's expression, Zhao Qiuran shuddered for no reason and quickly explained.
"How could I! It's just that, although I can roughly tell who is lying, I also have to look at the mental fluctuations when they speak. You were the only one talking. How could I know who was lying and who wasn't? They didn't even speak at all … "
"So, you didn't understand what I meant at all." Jiang Chen glanced at Zhao Qiuran, smiled, and said, "The lying I meant was not to let you see who lied, but to let you pay attention to who disagreed with my words when I spoke. Or even to the fact that they already had plans to agree with me. "
"You should have said so earlier!" Zhao Qiuran rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and tried to recall the mental fluctuations she sensed at the time.
After a while, she scratched the back of her head and said, "It seems that everyone has the feeling you said … that they disagreed with what you said."
Jiang Chen smiled and said in a relaxed tone.
"Really? It seems that my guess was right, and I made the right move. "
Zhao Qiuran looked at him in confusion. She didn't know why he was not angry, but instead looked a little happy? Was it something to be happy about when others obeyed him on the surface but opposed him on the inside?
At her level, she still couldn't understand these issues, and Jiang Chen didn't intend to analyze and explain to her.
He didn't intend to train her into a politician or anything like that. He just wanted to take her to be a lab rat for Lin Lin. At most, he would give her some compensation after the experiment was over. After all, he didn't find the primordial cell bank of Eden Technology, which somewhat disappointed the little girl's expectations.
What's more, he was also very curious about what this mental ability was all about.
"Um, although I said I would work for you, I won't become that kind of person in the future, right?" Standing behind Jiang Chen, Zhao Qiuran suddenly asked anxiously.
"What kind of people?"
"The kind … like those councilors." Limited by her level of education, Zhao Qiuran racked her brain for a while and couldn't find a suitable word. She could only vaguely gesture with her fingers.
"Don't worry, you don't have that talent. With your talent, at most, you can only be a small team leader. "Jiang Chen laughed and said in a mocking tone.
"I feel a lot more relaxed when I hear you say that." Zhao Qiuran scratched her cheek with her fingers.
"Is that so?" Jiang Chen shrugged noncommittally and walked out of the elevator.
People change, especially when the environment changes.
Just like Jiang Chen at the beginning, he only wanted to get some gold from here, buy a house in the most prosperous area of Wanghai City, and live a carefree life as a millionaire. He wanted to do all the things he had only seen in movies and live his life in a drunken stupor.
However, when he really tasted the taste of power and understood what the word responsibility meant, his attitude changed subtly. A millionaire could no longer satisfy his inflated appetite. In order to protect the people he loved and to possess more, NAC expanded like a greedy beast to its current state.
And because of this, he became a dictator who was loved and respected by hundreds of thousands of people in this world … Don't doubt that in this era, whoever could feed everyone was worthy of the word 'loved', no matter if you were an emperor or a slave owner.
Jiang Chen nodded to the guards on both sides and returned to his barracks.
When he saw Yao Yao sleeping soundly on the bed, the serious expression on his face suddenly eased and was replaced by a gentle smile.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jiang Chen reached out and gently fiddled with Yao Yao's hair and tucked the hair in front of her nose behind her ear.
The sleeping little loli was like a little hamster in hibernation. Her white hands curled up in front of her chest and curled up into a ball in the blanket. Occasionally, she twisted her little nose and moved her cherry-like mouth. From time to time, a happy smile appeared on her face as if she was having a good dream.
"You must be sleepy. Sleep for a while."
He gently kissed Yaoyao's forehead and began to feel sleepy.
He yawned and looked at Yao Yao who was sleeping soundly. Jiang Chen's heart moved.
After a while, he lifted a corner of the blanket and laid down beside the little loli. Without a trace of evil thoughts, he hugged her in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
…
After coming back from Line 0, Jiang Chen almost didn't close his eyes.
Until this moment, he finally completely relaxed and had a good night's sleep.
When he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
She walked into the barracks with the fragrant shredded meat noodles. Seeing Jiang Chen already awake, Yao Yao's face suddenly turned red.
"Ah … you're awake already?"
"Mhmm, I woke up when I smelled the fragrance."
Jiang Chen sat up from the bed with a smile, put on his shoes, and walked to Yao Yao. He took the bowl from the little girl's hand and put it on the table.
He was really hungry now. After all, he hadn't eaten for almost 24 hours.
Sitting across from Jiang Chen, Yao Yao held her chin with her hands. A sweet smile hung on her blushing face, just like two red apples just picked from the tree. It made people want to take a bite.
She happily watched her beloved big brother devour the noodles she made. Yao Yao cleaned up and walked out the door.
Coincidentally, Han Junhua was standing at the door of the barracks. She raised her hand and was about to knock. Seeing the door open, she nodded to the little girl holding the bowl and chopsticks, then walked into Jiang Chen's room.
"How do you feel?"
"Okay." Jiang Chen looked at Han Junhua and raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What a surprise. You actually care about people?"
"Are you mocking me …"
"Uh, don't mind me. It's just a harmless joke."
Han Junhua nodded.
Although her expressionless face didn't look like she could distinguish between a joke and a serious one.
"Is something the matter?" Jiang Chen changed the topic.
"Yes. I want to ask your opinion on something. " Han Junhua crossed her arms in front of her chest out of habit. She looked at Jiang Chen seriously and asked, "About the city under Line 0, what are you going to do?"
