Chapter 168 Grandmother's Transfer

At the end of the day it's their own arrogance that affects them.

"We don't think about things in the same way, and because I don't understand, my thinking isn't as restricted."

An Nian was still on the side, Su Qinglan was not too comfortable to incline her head to scatter down the hair around her ears.

Seeing this, Gu Jinchi handed An Nian a look, and only the two of them were left in the office.

"Don't be modest, you're my wise assistant, it seems I can't live without you from now on." He cupped her face again and kissed her lightly, his thoughts suddenly clearing up.

Originally, he was still agonizing over how to fix the mess in the Imperial Capital before going to the Gu family.

But since they sent their right-hand man, it's a waste of time not to use him.

When you're done utilizing it, return it as is.

It's just a matter of being a little thicker skinned, and it's worth it to throw away so much face for a great gain.

Without the presence of other people, Su Qinglan was much more at ease, and obediently leaned her head against Gu Jinchi's chest, her motherly nature causing her to think of that little glutinous rice ball again.

"I'm kind of missing Zee."

"Me too."

He thoughtfully tucked her stray hair back, his eyes growing more determined.

This time, when they went back, not only did they want to solve the hidden dangers that were still in the Gu family, they also wanted to reunite their family.

'Knock knock.'

The door to the office was knocked on by An Nian who had folded back and brought Cheng Yi over as he had been told to do by taking care of Jin Chi.

What made Su Qinglan a bit puzzled was why, with so much boring work, he was not only able to do it all in one day, but his entire persona remained clean and fresh as well.

Sung Yi walked through the door, just as they thought, and offered his thoughts.

"I've finished understanding and processing these basics, so I should be able to take over the rest."

The fox's tail is showing so soon?

Su Qinglan clapped her hands, she was like Gu Jinchi's spokesperson, "Mr. Cheng's work ability is very good this point we've already affirmed, so now General Manager Gu's meaning is to make an exception without the need to continue studying further."

"Thank you for Mr. Gu's appreciation." Cheng Yi spoke in a polite manner, and there was no fawning that some employees had, as if everything was a matter of course.

"After negotiations, we have adjusted your treatment to the same salary as An Nian An's assistant." Regarding the salary, perhaps he didn't care at all, the Gu family would definitely give more when things were done.

But regardless of whether he was caring or not, Su Qinglan was still walking through the program unhurriedly.

"If there are no objections, today is the time for you to officially take up your position, I hope that you will do your best for Gu, and we won't treat you poorly."

Looking at Su Qinglan's brows arched up, Cheng Yi also detected a hint of something wrong.

The situation everyone already know by heart, but no one said anything, the surface seems peaceful, but the back of the strong smell of gunpowder is permeated.

It was for the best that he continued to endure.

People are also delayed, and the hard stuff is solved by someone, so two birds with one stone.

In the afternoon, Su Qinglan, however, received a call from her grandmother in the middle of her busy schedule.

"Blue, do you have time this afternoon?"

She couldn't help but freeze, "This afternoon? Is something wrong, I can transfer."

Hearing this Gu Jinchi couldn't help but feel helpless, she was now the president's wife of Gu, and it was a matter of taking a break whenever she wanted to.

Yet still so obsessively hands-on.

"I've arrived at the Imperial Capital, if you have time, I'd like to see you for a while, it's not convenient to say some things inside the phone." On the phone, Grandma's voice seemed a bit rushed.

She heard the sound of the Imperial buses announcing their stops, and it looked like Grandma should have arrived already.

Su Qinglan was a bit surprised, "Why did you come alone, come and tell me first I can also go to pick you up."

"Where are you now, I'll be right there."

Seeing Su Qinglan hanging up the phone in a hurry, Gu Jinchi also stood up from his chair with a worried face, "What happened?"

"My grandmother is coming from Cloud City, I'm going to pick her up." After she hurriedly finished, she stood up and left the door.

Waiting until she got to the station where she met with her grandmother the better, Su Qinglan realized that her grandmother had brought a not-so-small box with her.

She shuddered to think how her grandmother had gotten by on her own at her age.

"Grandma, are you coming to stay with me for a while?"

She was about to order the driver to take away her traveling gifts when her grandmother stopped her and took her by the hand and led her to a corner where there were not many people.

Looking around for a moment before her grandmother vigilantly slipped an envelope into her hand, "Blu, do you remember what I told you before about how your grandfather and I used to work at an organization?"

"Now I have to hurry over, this time I don't know when I'll be ...... able to come back." When she heard her grandmother say these words in an exceptionally serious manner, Su Qinglan's heart couldn't help but thump.

Subconsciously, she asked, "What happened?"

Grandmother shook her head helplessly and pushed her hand through so she could put the things away, "I signed a confidentiality agreement on this matter, I can't talk about it, and I came to find you because I want you to take good care of what's in here, as well as to talk to you about it."

Hearing the confidentiality agreement, Su Qinglan fell silent.

The last time she'd known, she'd known that Grandma had once worked with Grandpa at an undisclosed organization, but what exactly, she didn't know.

There are many industries that are able to keep their doors closed to the public and even have to sign non-disclosure agreements.

And yet she didn't even know what her grandmother's profession was; it seemed that for as long as she could remember, she had always been in the Su family and hadn't spent much time with her grandmother.

It was only two years before her mother's death that her grandmother settled back in the country.

It was but a few years, and it was surprising that he would be recalled at the age of nearly seventy.

"Grandma, you are going to be seventy years old, it should be the time to take care of your life at home, why do you need this time ...... " She really can not understand, even if it reveals her a little bit.

She went to investigate, and Grandma wouldn't be considered to have broken her confidentiality agreement.

But to her dismay, her grandmother shook her head, held her hand, and repeated, "You must not pursue this matter; in short, my last wish is for you to listen to me."

"Do you still have the stuff I gave you last time?"

Su Qinglan nodded, "In, I've kept them all well."

Hearing her say that, Grandma was also relieved, reaching out a somewhat rough hand to touch her cheek, her eyes full of dismay.

"I haven't been able to spend much time with you since I was a kid, and every time I've spent time with you Grandma has cherished it, and I don't want to give it up this time, but it's an order from above."

"What's in here, you must keep it for me and not open it until you have to."

"It's as important as that card, and the address."

When the words came to this, Su Qinglan was slightly relieved, at least she could still know where her grandmother was.

"And ...... can I come and see you?" She trailed off.

As Grandma said, they were affectionate but didn't spend much time together, which was a shame either way.

Grandmother had tears in her eyes and shook her head, "No, that address is only for you to go to in case of emergency, you must listen to me."

Once gone for an unknown period of time, unable to contact, such key words were grasped firmly by Su Qinglan, her eyes reddened as soon as her eyes soured, "Grandma, then will you stay with me for a few more days, I still have a lot to say, a lot of things I haven't gone to do with you."

After a helpless sigh, Grandma took her in her arms, "Blu, Grandma's heart will always be thinking of you."

"The tickets are booked for this one, someone will pick me up in a little while, and I'm relieved that the words have been told to your face."

Grandmother said, and a warm tear dripped onto her shoulder.

They cherished the moment to say what they normally didn't get to say until Grandma's cell phone was dialed.

It's just a very simple string of numbers.

Su Qinglan stole a glance and memorized it.

"Well, I should go, you have to take care of yourself." Grandmother dabbed her tears with the back of her hand, and after saying goodbye again and again with reluctance, she left with a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit.

The man didn't greet her either, with the same haste.

As soon as she got home, she rushed to dig out the card with the address, which she hadn't had a chance to look at the last time.

But once she searched the address on it, she froze.

I don't know what kind of dissimilar coincidence it is that this place is also in K country.

Unfortunately, there was no clue on that ID card, which wasn't exactly well made, and you could see that there was something inside under a bright light.

It should be an ID card.

As for what's in that envelope, it feels like a paper file and maybe a card or something.

But she obeyed her grandmother and didn't open it.

Obsession made her saber-rattling and put the call through to Anian, "Go find out for me which flight my grandmother took today."

Investigating a person was not a difficult task for Anian, but the result surprised them all.

An Nian swallowed and also felt that there was something fishy, "Ma'am ...... I didn't find out, did your grandmother really leave from the airport?"

"Then go check other transportation and entry records, I want to know where she went." At once, Su Qinglan was anxious.

There are no flight records, so where did she go.

But the result was still the same, not to mention the records of entry and exit and transportation, surprisingly, there was not even a record of her entering the imperial capital.

Experience had taught her that it wasn't that it hadn't been entered, but that it had been deliberately hidden.

Being able to have such a hand ratio also sat as a testament to how powerful that organization was that her grandmother spoke of.

Hanging up the phone, she sat on her bed disoriented, and no matter how many times she called her grandmother, no one answered.

She had now completely lost track of her grandmother's whereabouts, and contact information.

Tears flowed silently.

She tried hard to reassure herself that her grandmother had only been reassigned because of her outstanding abilities, and that nothing would happen to her.

Healing herself after the meltdown took a long time, and by the time she had gathered herself and put her things together, a small, dark object unexpectedly fell off her body.

She picked it up and glanced at it, and her face changed.

It's a miniature wiretap. Who put it on her?
