Xie Jiaci followed the direction in his memory and came to the heavily guarded compound.
The last time he came here was four years ago when his work was on vacation. He was brought home by Mr. Guo to have New Year's Eve dinner together. Now the person standing guard at the door no longer recognizes him.
"Comrade, who are you looking for? You can't come in or out at will without notification."
Xie Jiaci stood there with a fruit basket and a bag of things, "I'm looking for Guo Jinhao. Please help me ask if you are at home. Just say I am Xie Jiaci."
Guo Jinhao is one of the few leaders in this compound who has a high status but is very low-key. Therefore, when the young comrade standing guard at the door heard that Xie Jiaci said that he was going to find Mr. Guo, he did not dare to stop and went to help him.
Mr. Guo called his home and asked.
moment.
The young comrade came out to show him the way: "Hello, comrade, Mr. Guo is at home now. He said you can just go in. Do you need me to lead the way?"
"No, thank you."
After four years, Xie Jiaci walked on this path again, and all that flashed through his mind was Mr. Guo's sincere teaching and cultivation.
Standing in front of Guo Lao's door, before he could think of how to say his first words, the door suddenly opened.
Mr. Guo is over sixty this year. He is short and of medium build. He wears clothes that are so simple that no one would take a second look if he were thrown into the street.
Mr. Guo's eyes turned red when he saw Xie Jiaci, who had lost a lot of weight but was still upright: "Come in and sit, come in and sit, come home and sit..."
Xie Jiaci stood there with some resistance, put the things at Mr. Guo's feet, took out the money from his pocket and put it into the fruit basket.
"Mr. Guo, this is the thousand yuan you gave to my family. I can't accept it. I'm leaving. Please take care of yourself."
He spoke concisely and to the point, and turned around without hesitation after finishing speaking.
But Mr. Guo grabbed his arm, and there was a hint of criticism in his kind eyes: "You haven't shown up for so many years, and now you finally come to see me, but you don't even come in? You
If you think I, Guo Jinhao, have embarrassed you, just leave!"
After Mr. Guo finished speaking, he shook Xie Jiaci's arm and entered the house without closing the door or taking anything.
Xie Jiaci had no choice but to follow back and bring the things in with him.
Mr. Guo's lover is not at home today. There are only Mr. Guo and Xie Jiaci at home.
Xie Jiaci sat stiffly on the sofa. He would say whatever Mr. Guo asked. If he encountered questions that he did not want to answer, he would remain silent.
Mr. Guo sighed: "Are you still blaming me for not winning you over in the first place?"
Xie Jiaci shook his head: "There was absolutely nothing you could do in that situation, I understand."
He doesn't want to have too much contact with Mr. Guo and his former colleagues now because he doesn't want to involve others with his affairs.
Mr. Guo looked at this young man who was brought into the unit and trained by him with regret and pity in his eyes.
"I know very well that no one in your team would do anything like leaking secrets. In the past few years, I have never given up investigating the hidden story behind that incident. As long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely help you clear your suspicions."
Xie Jiaci had already given up hope and just nodded politely.
After sitting for about half an hour, Mr. Guo answered the phone, and Xie Jiaci stood up to say goodbye:
"I still have my wife and children waiting at home. Please do your work. I'll leave first."
Mr. Guo took out the money from the fruit basket and forced it to Xie Jiaci, "Take the money, you deserve it."
Xie Jiaci pushed back resolutely, "I have already taken what I deserve, but not this one."
Mr. Guo knew Xie Jiaci's temper. If he didn't want to do something, it would be difficult for anyone to force him.
After sighing and taking back the money, Mr. Guo tentatively said before Xie Jia resigned and went out: "If you have time, you can come with your children to see me."
Mr. Guo smiled self-deprecatingly. "I have left no descendants in my life, so I will only miss you brats."
Xie Jiaci felt sad and agreed without looking back, and walked out with big steps.
He didn't look back, but he could feel Mr. Guo's eyes following him closely. It wasn't until his figure disappeared around the corner that Mr. Guo walked into the house with his back bent.
Xie Jiaci went home with his head down, feeling a little bad.
Who would have imagined that as soon as we arrived at the entrance of the alley, Chen Haohao would pop out halfway.
"Hey, Brother Jiaci, I've been waiting here for you for a long time!"
Xie Jiaci glanced at her, "Is something wrong?"
Chen Hao pouted, "You are so indifferent every time you see me, why can't you say a few more words?"
affectation.
Xie Jiaci ignored her and walked forward.
When Chen Haohao saw that Xie Jiaci was about to leave, he didn't dare to carry it pretentiously anymore. He quickly caught up with him and went straight to the topic:
"Brother Jiaci, the reason why the Xie family has been treating you badly is because you are not their biological child!"
Seeing Xie Jiaci stop, Chen Haohao felt proud.
She knew that Xie Jiaci would not ignore her once the news came out.
Xie Jiaci turned around, stared at Chen Haohao for a second, and then violently grabbed Chen Haohao's arm and forced her to the corner:
"Where did you know that?"
Xie Jiaci combined Liu Yiming's previous investigation of Chen Haohao and said that she probably had no chance to contact Mr. Guo. Suddenly he narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Haohao: "Have you been investigating me?"
Chen Haohao's arm hurt from being pulled by him, but he still didn't dare to cry out.
This man Xie Jiaci is really terrifying!
When she told Lin Yinian about these things about the college entrance examination, he would only be surprised at his own divination and even worship herself as a god.
But when I get to Xie Jiasi, I will only wonder if she is investigating him!
Chen Haohao bit his lower lip tightly, not knowing how to explain.
Xie Jiaci stared at her with such eagle eyes that she didn't even have the guts to lie.
Chen Haohao leaned against the wall, with cold sweat on his back, and stammered: "I, I also heard what others said, that is, someone knew that you picked it up. Anyway, I heard that I wanted to come here with good intentions.
Let me remind you."
Xie Jiaqi asked: "Who said that? How did you know that person? Does that person know me?"
Chen Haohao almost lost herself in Xie Jiaci's series of questions. At this moment, she regretted that she had molded Xie Jiaci into such a smart image!
Moreover, I even rushed over to him knowing that he was very smart, and repeatedly tried to get involved in the relationship between myself and Xie Jiaci, but in the end, it was self-defeating every time.
Chen Haohao was speechless and blushed.
Lu Qingqing waited around at home but didn't see Xie Jiaci come back. She felt a little worried and thought about taking Dongdong out to greet him.
Who would have imagined that as soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw Xie Jiaci forcing Chen Haohao to the wall and staring at her fiercely.
She didn't even have to guess to know that it was Chen Haohao who was determined to provoke Xie Jiaci again.
Before, she couldn't understand why a female protagonist could be so brainless.
But now that she knows that Chen Haohao is Zhou Fang, she feels that it is not unusual for this idiot to do anything!
When Xie Jiaci saw her coming out, he quickly let go of Chen Haohao's hand and took a small step back, like a child who had done something wrong.
Lu Qingqing patted Dongdong on the head and told him to go home first.
Dongdong was such a brat that he made a face at Chen Haohao and ran back home.
Lu Qingqing went over to hold Xie Jiaci's hand and looked at Chen Haohao, with undisguised disgust in his eyes:
"Why are you here again? This is my man. Do you still have any sense of shame? Why are you always thinking about hooking up with other men?"
