"This is not urgent. It mainly requires actual combat exercises." Zhao Liangze calmly diverted Gu Nianzhi's attention, "For example, I just told you that your senior brother Huang looked at you with something wrong. Next time you see him, you can treat him well. Study his eyes and compare them with others."
From a deep perspective, this thing can be said to be in the category of psychology, and there are numerous writings on it.
But to put it simply, for many people, it is a self-taught skill. They learn to look at other people’s eyebrows when they are young, and when they grow up, they can get along more easily in society.
This skill is called street-smart in the West, and it is often a skill that elites with high IQs and good backgrounds do not possess.
"What's the truth!" Gu Nianzhi was dissatisfied, "There is no quantification, no ruler, how to measure?!"
"So I said this knowledge is more challenging. Do you dare to learn it?" Zhao Liangze straightened up with a big smile on his face, "Okay, I'm going back to the room. What do you want for dinner? Let's order takeout ?”
Gu Nianzhi stared at Zhao Liangze for a while, feeling that it was difficult to tell whether his words were true or false, and he didn't know whether to believe him or not.
In the evening, after the two of them had dinner, Gu Nianzhi cleaned up the room and took a shower.
When I came out, I saw a missed call from Huo Shaoheng on my phone and hurriedly dialed it back.
"...Uncle Huo?" As soon as the call was connected, Gu Nianzhi hurriedly explained, "We just moved in today. We were packing our things and took a shower. I didn't hear anything in the bathroom."
Huo Shaoheng put on his headphones and browsed the ocean satellite map on his computer while saying nonchalantly: "Well, it's okay. I just wanted to call and ask, are you okay?"
"It's okay, but it's hotter than Boston." Gu Nianzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Maybe I turned the air conditioner down, please turn it up."
"Don't be greedy for coolness." Huo Shaoheng's eyes were attracted by an unusual ocean satellite map on the computer. He planned to hang up the phone after saying a few words, "Be careful when doing things in the Congress. If nothing happens, I will hang up. "
Gu Nianzhi said hurriedly: "Hey! Don't hang up!"
"Is there anything else?" Huo Shaoheng's mouse kept moving on the map, and a series of data appeared, and his brows became more and more frowning.
Gu Nianzhi immediately remembered what Zhao Liangze said to her just now, and immediately relayed it to Huo Shaoheng word for word: "...Uncle Huo, I heard that you have learned how to judge the other party's true intentions, how to deal with the other party's teasing, and how to judge whether the other party is sincere or not. Hypocrisy, and how to make the other party believe that you did not lie to her when performing a task... Is it true? I also want to learn... "
Huo Shaoheng was stunned and focused on his earphones, "What did you say? Say it again?"
Gu Nianzhi said it again and emphasized: "I want to learn, but I feel that I am particularly lacking in this aspect."
Huo Shaoheng's face was as dark as water and he categorically denied: "Who did you listen to? We are regular troops, how can we learn these messy things."
Although these things were indeed required courses for members of the Special Operations Department, Huo Shaoheng believed that Gu Nianzhi did not need to know because she was not a member of the Special Operations Department, and telling her these contents would be a leak.
"Ah? As expected, Brother Ozawa lied to me." Gu Nianzhi let out a long breath, and his whole body relaxed, "I heard what he said was so mysterious, and I was really fooled by him. I thought I was really that I don’t know how to deal with the world. He keeps asking me to be more thoughtful. Doesn’t this mean he’s calling me short-sighted? Am I that stupid?”
She couldn't help but adopt a coquettish tone.
The corner of Huo Shaoheng's lips curled up slightly. He slid the mouse with his finger and found the program to contact Zhao Liangze on the computer. He tapped it lightly to open the connection and said to Gu Nianzhi in a calm voice: "Don't listen to Ozawa's nonsense. You are too pretentious. Why?" Are you being short-sighted?"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
After a while, she asked weakly: "Uncle Huo, you are so thoughtful, it doesn't seem to be a compliment, right?"
In Gu Nianzhi's own opinion, she is a beautiful girl who is just right, smart and cute (*^▽^*) with a good heart and a good mind.
But it seems that others don’t see it that way ←_←.
"Are you so naive that you could sneak away so many of my T-shirts right under my nose?" Huo Shaoheng smiled half-heartedly, and he pictured Gu Nianzhi wearing his black T-shirt as pajamas in his mind.
Gu Nianzhi was so ashamed that he couldn't speak. After muttering for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to say: "... Don't forget to promise to give me a few more black T-shirts." After saying that, he hung up the phone in a panic. Seemingly unable to bear it, he fell on his back, hugged his little panda pillow, turned over, and rolled to the other side of the bed.
Somehow, every time she talked to Huo Shaoheng on the phone, her mood would fluctuate. Sometimes she was extremely sad, sometimes she was extremely happy, and sometimes she burst out laughing. It was enough...
Zhao Liangze is in dire straits.
He never expected that Gu Nianzhi would turn around and tell Huo Shaoheng exactly what he said, and even go to him for confirmation!
Isn't this short-sighted? !
Zhao Liangze swore that if he mentioned Gu Nianzhi again, he would chop off his hands! (←_←Shou said, it’s none of my business...)
"Master Huo, Master Huo, I have special circumstances, and I didn't mean to leak the secret..." Zhao Liangze explained with sweating profusely.
"You'd better have a reasonable reason. I can give you a 'never do it again'." Huo Shaoheng said unhurriedly, enlarging the ocean satellite map on the computer and copying the data.
Zhao Liangze had no choice but to sell Senior Brother Huang, "That's it, that Senior Brother Nianzhi looked at Nianzhi too much. I just reminded Nianzhi to keep distance from that person. She refused to listen to me. Yes, I just told her some of the courses we took in the Special Operations Department. Mr. Huo, I only told her a little bit about the course topics, but I didn’t tell her about the course content. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her right away."
Huo Shaoheng believed that Zhao Liangze was not so bold as to tell others about the Special Operations Department's stuff without his permission.
"Well, this is a so-so reason." Huo Shaoheng let Zhao Liangze go for the time being, "But I think you are quite free, enough to be the little girl's confidant. I will give you some work." With that, Huo Shaoheng put that A copy of the ocean satellite map data that had just been downloaded was sent to Zhao Liangze, "This is an ocean map of the Gulf of Aden, including ocean current trends, weather changes, and magnetic field conditions. Analyze it. Does it sound familiar?"
"Who knows the big sister?! I am the big brother Zhixin! Big brother!" Zhao Liangze retorted angrily, but when he saw the information sent by Huo Shaoheng, his face became serious: "No problem, I will do a database analysis right away."
…
The next day, Gu Nianzhi and Senior Brother Huang came to the Capitol Hill in the United States to meet He Zhichu and Wen Shouyi who were waiting there.
"Assistant Teacher Wen, are you back?" Senior Brother Huang greeted her very enthusiastically, "How are your family members? Didn't you have a few more days of rest?"
Although Gu Nianzhi was scolded by Huo Shaoheng because of her conversation with Zhao Liangze last night, Zhao Liangze's words still inevitably left an impression on her mind.
She carefully observed Senior Brother Huang's words and deeds and found that he was really able to get close to others.
This kind of natural familiarity is actually very important for a lawyer. Not only can he quickly win the favor and trust of the client, but when searching for evidence, he also has more opportunities to pry open the witness's mouth and get more information. Much evidence.
This can be learned...
Gu Nianzhi stood aside without saying a word, watching Senior Brother Huang talking to others with a smile, his beautiful eyes never leaving him.
Senior Brother Huang only felt that the little junior sister today was particularly eager to learn. She was always looking at him with admiration and couldn't help but feel in awe.
He Zhichu frowned, wondering what was so interesting about Senior Brother Huang...
With a cold face, he turned and walked up the steps of Parliament Hill, "Xiao Huang followed Assistant Professor Wen to the Congressional Committee on Freedom of Ocean Access for an internship, and I took Nianzhi to the Congressional Appropriations Committee for an internship."
Senior Brother Huang’s research interests are the Law of the Sea and the Atmospheric Convention, and he is also a counterpart to the Congressional Freedom of Ocean Passage Group.
But when Gu Nianzhi went to the Appropriations Committee of Congress, he had no direction at all.
There requires more financial knowledge, and the relationship with law is far away.
However, Gu Nianzhi hasn't determined her main attack direction yet, so she doesn't care where she goes.
When Wen Shouyi saw He Zhichu walking away, he urged Gu Nianzhi: "Xiao Gu, Professor He has already gone up, why don't you go?" He reminded her again: "Professor He finally got your position through intercession. . Although it only keeps accounts and has no real power, you can still observe the operations of the U.S. Congress. You have to be careful and don’t embarrass Professor He."
The Appropriations Committee of Congress does have no real power and is not really in charge of appropriations.
It is an agency that is responsible for accounting after Congress votes to approve the appropriation. To put it simply, it is just some bookkeepers, not even accountants.
A very inconsequential department indeed.
And after everything becomes electronic, they no longer even need to keep accounts manually. They can just press a few buttons for approval, approval, and upload on the computer every day.
So there is a problem with Gu Nianzhi's background check, but people with strong backstage connections are usually put into departments like this where they have plenty of time to grow mushrooms.
It is conceivable that what awaits Gu Nianzhi in the past six months is buying coffee and lunch for people every day, and working as an errand girl for a copy clerk.
Senior Brother Huang had also crammed in knowledge about various committees of Congress, so he naturally knew the inside story of this Appropriations Committee. He looked at her with some sympathy, and then followed Wen Shouyi to report to the Congressional Committee on Freedom of Ocean Access.
Gu Nianzhi found that she was really prejudiced against Wen Shouyi. No matter what she said, good or bad, she felt that Wen Shouyi had unwarranted hostility towards her, and she couldn't get over it.
But she wasn't angry. She squinted at Wen Shouyi's back for a while, laughed twice, and then turned around and walked up the steps.
He Zhichu put his hands in the pockets of his suit pants and stood at the top of the steps waiting for her.
He wore a light-colored three-piece thin wool suit, a light blue tie, and a particularly crisp shell-colored no-iron shirt underneath.
Among the group of fat-headed American congressmen who were walking in and out of the Capitol Building, He Zhichu stood tall and tall, like a stream of clear water, forgetting the ordinary things he saw.
When Gu Nianzhi saw He Zhichu dressed like this, the unhappiness he had just felt because of Wen Shouyi immediately disappeared.
"Professor He is really beautiful today." Gu Nianzhi praised him with a smile, and walked with him into the direction of the Appropriations Committee of the Capitol Building.
He Zhichu's cold expression warmed up slightly, although his voice was still very clear: "Are you still used to living there? It's a serviced apartment over there, and it's cleaned every day."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Professor He. The place to live is very good, the furniture is complete, and the service attitude is also very good."
"The monthly rent is close to 8,000 US dollars. It's not good and can't be justified." He Zhichu led her to the door of the Appropriation Committee and stretched out his hand to straighten the small bow on the collar of Gu Nian's pink and purple suit. "Go in. Everyone thinks this is the place. It’s the least important place in Congress, but I think only stupid people think that.”
"Huh? Really?" Gu Nianzhi was interested. She liked this kind of challenge best, finding the most extraordinary clues from the most ordinary things.
"Well, it depends on how smart you are. If you are smart enough, you will find that this is the place that is really in charge of the entire Capitol." He Zhichu said meaningfully, "If you can find out the clues, I I’ll give you a grand eighteenth birthday gift.”
Gu Nianzhi stretched out his palm, his eyes as bright as the finest black crystals, "It's a deal!"
He Zhichu stared at her and saw his own reflection in her dancing eyes. He was tall and solemn, but his face was extremely cold.
He smiled slightly, hung a nameplate around her neck, reached out to touch her head, and turned to leave.
Gu Nian walked through the door of the Appropriation Committee alone and said to the smiling old white lady at the door: "I am Gu Nianzhi, intern." She pointed to her nameplate.
The nameplate has her picture, her name and phone number, where she works, and a barcode.
With this nameplate, she can come and go freely on Capitol Hill.
The old white lady felt happy when she saw a beautiful oriental girl like Gu Nianzhi. She stretched out her arms and gave her a big hug, "Gu, you are finally here. I am Mary. Come, I will take you to your office. "
Gu Nianzhi was surprised: "I have my own office?!"
She thought she was going to sit in the lobby...
"Of course. We have a lot of vacant offices here because no one wants to come..." Mary winked at her.
The two laughed together.
…
In the next few days, Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze were very busy.
Although the two lived in the same suite, they rarely saw each other.
Gu Nianzhi's breakfast and lunch were all served in the Capitol Hill Building, and for dinner, He Zhichu or Wen Shouyi usually took her and Senior Brother Huang to eat together.
How Zhao Liangze managed three meals a day, Gu Nianzhi didn't understand until a week later.
"You eat pizza every day?!" Gu Nianzhi looked at the pizza boxes stacked high in Zhao Liangze's room in surprise, while covering his nose with his hand: "I see you already smell of onions and cheese!"
She hated onions, but they were often on pizza.
Zhao Liangze has been working on the data sent to him by Huo Shaoheng almost non-stop these days, and he has finally done it today.
Turning around, he saw Gu Nianzhi coming in. Zhao Liangze waved to her, "Little prodigy, come here and take a look at this set of data. What do you think?"
