That afternoon, Chi Nuan, who had no class, left the school early and went to Henan Mountain according to the address given by He Zhen.
Cloud City in Henan Mountain is comparable to an international forest park, and the traffic in that area is very convenient. Chi Nuan found the entrance of the villa area, reported the room number and Gu Ningzi's name, and the front desk who had been informed by He Zhenhui in advance quickly notified the post to release. A security guard drove her to the sightseeing car and politely took her all the way to the outside of Gu Ningzi's courtyard.
The lighting here is excellent, and the warm sunlight shines through the transparent glass, filling the room with golden light. Chi Nuan didn't have time to look around, and went to the kitchen first.
There is almost no trace of fireworks in the kitchen, but fortunately, the appliances are still complete.
It was getting dark very quickly, just after five o'clock, it was already dark outside. The duck soup was cooked in a casserole, and the aroma was already overflowing. Chi Nuan brought the tomato scrambled eggs to the table first.
That year, on the day Gu Ningzi left, she was jealous of her tomato fried egg rice.
Back in the kitchen, Chi Nuan started to rinse the vegetables in the stew. Doing this with a lingering sense of cautious happiness.
She was waiting for her return, as if this was the promised "tomorrow".
The vegetables could not be put into the pot in advance, so Chi Nuan drained them in a basket, wiped his hands, and went outside.
The slippers stepped on the thick carpet, and there was no sound at first, but the person sitting at the dining table seemed to feel it, and she looked up.
…
Gu Ningzi's slightly curved long hair was all set on the left shoulder, and the collarbone loomed out of the sweater neckline. The eyes behind the lens have no special emotions. After capturing Chi Nuan, they cast them back on the tomato scrambled eggs.
She ate slowly and slowly, Chi Nuan stood for a while: "...I didn't know you were back, wait a moment."
The casserole caught fire, put in the vegetable leaves, Chi Nuan turned on the rice cooker, and filled Gu Ningzi with a bowl of rice.
She must be hungry, and her mouth is so picky. Eight times out of ten, airplane meals are not appetizing.
After the soup was ready, Gu Ningzi pointed to the empty seat on the dining table and motioned Chi Nuan to eat together.
The two sat and ate quietly, eating and eating, Gu Ningzi stopped his chopsticks and frowned. Chi Nuan had been paying attention to her, and when she saw it, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"
Chi Nuan looked at her expression and wondered if her taste had changed in foreign countries for so many years. Gu Ningzi said, "...It hurts."
Chi Nuan hurriedly asked, "It hurts? Where does it hurt?"
Gu Ningzi: "Toothache."
Chi Nuan: "Assistant He said you got angry, did it cause your toothache?"
Her concerned eyes were deep and deep, and Gu Ningzi's eyelashes trembled for unknown reasons: "Wisdom teeth."
Hearing this, Chi Nuan came over and said, "I'll take a look."
In fact, she didn't think much about it, and didn't consider whether Gu Ningzi would refuse, so she faced the light and raised Gu Ningzi's chin slightly.
After half a second, Gu Ningzi opened his mouth unexpectedly.
Chi Nuan caught a glimpse of a white tooth that was only half budding in the innermost part of her gums, and couldn't help but frown: "Is it growing in the wrong direction? The surrounding gums are all red and swollen... It must be very painful."
Gu Ningzi turned her head away.
Chi Nuan's fingers were empty: "… do you want to go to the dentist?"
"I have taken medicine." Gu Ningzi covered the painful half of her face and continued to eat with the other tooth.
Gu Ningzi's oral condition is very good, and she must have regular care. It is impossible for the wisdom tooth to remain undiscovered since its emergence, so why was it not dealt with
Chi Nuan could only think of one possibility: Gu Ningzi was afraid of tooth extraction.
Somewhat funny, Chi Nuan sat back in her seat.
After a meal, Chi Nuan restored the kitchen to its original state and walked into the living room. Gu Ningzi was leaning on the sofa to read the financial report, and when she saw Chi Nuan coming out of the corner of the eye, she raised her chin at the coffee table.
Chi Nuan knew what He Zhen said about the contract.
"I submitted my resignation to the school, but I can't officially leave until the end of the semester, so there is still about a month left..."
Gu Ningzi looked at the financial report at hand, her eyes fixed: "Yes, you don't have to come and report in front of me every day during this period, I will inform you in advance if there is something."
Chi Nuan: "There are children... I hope you can forgive me. I promise I will try my best to accommodate your time."
Gu Ningzi nodded.
Chi Nuan smiled, she turned the contract to the last page, unscrewed the cap, and signed her name next to Gu Ningzi's pre-signed name.
Gu Ningzi: "You don't need to look at the contract again?"
Chi Nuan opened the second contract and also signed his name: "No need."
Gu Ningzi reserved a lot of blank lines, probably because she wanted Chi Nuan to fill in the content by herself. Even so, she had already signed it. Obviously, it didn't matter how she changed it and she would not object, which shows her sincerity.
Not to mention, the reason why Chi Nuan wanted to be her assistant was just to be closer to her.
Looking at the names of the two people standing side by side, Chi Nuan's eyes were full of smiles. Gu Ningzi supported her temple and said to her casually, "Let He Zhen give you my itinerary, and you can make an appointment for the dentist according to my time."
… is this a change of mind? Chi Nuan said cooperatively, "Oh."
Gu Ningzi paused: "Ask her to give you Guan Luo's contact information, and you can contact Guan Luo directly."
Chi Nuan: "Okay."
Gu Ningzi: "Do you have time now?"
Xiao Wutong can pick it up later, Chi Nuan said, "Yes."
Gu Ningzi gave her the financial report at hand: "The red part, read it to me, my eyes are tired."
Chi Nuan took it over and sat down next to Gu Ningzi on the single sofa next to her. She was about to read, but when she saw it, it was all in English. The content is marked in different colors, and He Zhen should have grasped the key points in advance.
Chi Nuan's English proficiency is okay, but it's limited to being excellent in the general category. Financial reports are more professional terms in this line of work. Chi Nuan only read two sentences and got stuck on a few words.
Gu Ningzi: "..."
Chi Nuan: "…"
Gu Ningzi blankly picked out a Chinese book from the documents scattered around him, Chi Nuan put down the financial report with a warm face, and read the Chinese investment project book instead.
This time it went much smoother. Chi Nuan read a few pages in a soft voice, and took advantage of the gap between pages to peek at Gu Ningzi. Gu Ningzi tilted her head and closed her eyes at some point.
"... Gu Ningzi?" Chi Nuan called her name softly, but Gu Ningzi didn't respond.
"Are you asleep?" Chi Nuan approached her.
Gu Ningzi's breathing was very gentle, and her unguarded and obedient appearance after falling asleep completely coincided with what she remembered. Chi Nuan watched it for a while, then held her breath and took off Gu Ningzi's glasses, put her hands on the coffee table, and lightly packed away the pile of documents.
The indoor temperature is very suitable. To be on the safe side, Chi Nuan still brought Gu Ningzi's coat and put it on her lap.
Turning off the headlights, leaving only the floor lamp under the window, the soft light outlines the shadowy figure of Gu Ningzi.
As soon as he left Gu Ningzi's house, Chi Nuan called Du Min. Du Min heard her talk about the new progress in her work, and screamed frequently on the other end of the phone: "I knew it! Gu Ningzi is still the same Gu Ningzi who stayed with us all night when we wanted to play cards! People look cold but have a good heart. , nothing has changed!"
Chi Nuan smiled and said, "I have a lot of reference books to buy. I don't want this embarrassing thing to happen again."
"I want what I want." Du Min's penetrating laughter sounded from the air. She laughed for a while before saying to Chi Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, do you know? I haven't heard you use it for many years. Speaking in such a happy tone, you didn't even laugh happily before."
… yes? Chi Nuan turned to look at the window glass of the bus. The night was fading, and her vivid eyebrows were reflected in the car window.
Chi Nuan went to the nursery to pick up Xiao Wutong, and on the way, he also told him the news of the job change. Xiao Wutong said: "Mom, it's good if you are happy, and I like Aunt Gu, you have to do your best."
Chi Nuan smiled and said, "I know."
The two bought some fruit outside the community. Chi Nuan was carrying a fruit bag in one hand and Xiao Wutong in the other. A few steps into the community, they saw a police car driving out of it.
"Uncle police!" Xiao Wutong stared intently, "What happened?"
Chi Nuan was also puzzled, until he walked downstairs with Xiao Wutong and saw a group of people standing in the open space, and he didn't know what happened.
The male owner of the opposite door ran away without a trace in debt, and the creditor could not find him, so he could only continue to harass her wife. Today, the debt collection agency sent people again, smashing the door and intimidating, and was just taken away by the police after calling the police.
"You say it's a mental illness! ... My dear, what kind of means do you talk about? Sending a mental illness to commit crimes, if it really kills people, won't it die in vain?"
Chi Nuan and Xiao Wutong looked at each other, Xiao Wutong said with a white face, "Mom, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
On the sixth floor, Chi Nuan saw that on the door opposite the door, the center was deeply recessed, and the door panel was almost deformed.
Chi Nuan and Xiao Wutong both sucked in a breath of cool air.
"...Don't be afraid, Mom will protect you." Chi Nuan opened the door and rushed in with Xiao Wutong.
Once you enter the house, you enter a safe world. On New Year's Day, Xiao Wutong rarely turned on the TV and watched the New Year's Eve party while eating apples.
Chi Nuan asked him, "Xiao Wutong, have you prepared the New Year's card for Uncle Ji?"
Mr. Ji is going to pick up Xiao Wutong tomorrow to play, and Xiao Wutong promised to send him a cool greeting card.
Xiao Wutong shook his legs: "Okay, but I can't show it to you. This is a little secret among our boys."
Chi Nuan: "…"
He Zhen and the domestic time difference, Chi Nuan saw the time was about the same, gave her a voice call.
She told He Zhen of her intention, and He Zhen said, "Guan Luo? Why didn't the boss contact him? She and Dr. Guan had a good relationship when they were in school, so that the boss would not suddenly be so seriously ill. This kind of do-it-yourself thing must be assigned. Are you?"
He Zhen laughed when he spoke, and Chi Nuan laughed too. They are now colleagues. Colleagues get together to complain about their bosses. This rule seems to be common all over the world.
Chi Nuan opened the contract he brought back and heard He Zhen say, "Okay, I'll send you the BOSS's recent itinerary and the contact information of Dr. Guan later. During the period when I'm not in China, the secretary's office will contact you. Your itinerary for the boss.… There are still some materials that need to be handed over to you, and I will organize them and send them to you.”
Chi Nuan: "Okay."
The call had come to an end, and He Zhen was about to hang up. Chi Nuan, who was browsing the contract with one eye and ten lines, suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Assistant He, wait a minute."
He Zhen: "Huh?"
Chi Nuan: "My monthly salary... Are you sure this amount is correct?"
He Zhen: "That's right. According to the boss's intention, your monthly salary is based on Spider's on-the-job assistant president. However, this is only tentative. You are employed by the boss, and she will increase it according to the situation."
Chi Nuan said: "...But your group pays salaries, isn't it the same currency as the domestic currency?"
He Zhen: "So? What's the problem?"
Chi Nuan was really frightened, she bit her head and said, "... Converted into RMB, is this too much?"
After He Zhen listened to it, there was a clear inhalation sound: "Assistant Chi, my suggestion is to stop this topic. I believe that the BOSS will not be willing to hear your above-mentioned questions. You should know that the salary is very high. It reflects the value of a person to a large extent.”
"..." Chi Nuan looked at the consecutive zeros behind her monthly salary... This was far more than her annual income when she was a teacher.
She thought she was taking this opportunity to take care of Gu Ningzi, but she didn't expect that Gu Ningzi was actually taking care of her in this way.
