Xu Zhang grabbed her hand and said, "I told you, you should be my daughter."
Lin Wanwan looked at her with a puzzled expression, then at Gu Bei and Gu Changfeng, "What's wrong?"
“Grandpa, Grandpa used to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” Xu Zhang said, overjoyed.
“Although your grandfather is old, he still has many connections. I’ll call him right away and see what he has to say.”
Lin Wanwan was indeed surprised. She had made many guesses before, but she never thought that Gu Bei's maternal grandfather was a diplomat. Was he that powerful?
"Didn't Mom tell you?" Gu Bei asked her.
Lin Wanwan blinked. "No, I don't know."
While she was still in a daze, Xu Zhang had already made the call.
Lin Wanwan immediately pulled her aside, "Mom, stop talking. I'm still in the planning stage. Let's talk about it after I can take the college entrance exam and get into university."
"No, Grandpa asked about you yesterday, he must be very happy."
A few days ago, Xu Zhang called home to express his attitude. Xu's parents were so angry when they learned about what their son had done to Gu Bei that they almost ended up in the hospital.
Xu's father directly published a notice in the newspaper severing ties with Xu Jinyang, causing a stir in the industry. Insiders, unaware of the situation, spread the word about all the bad things Xu Jinyang had done.
Xu Jinyang, who already had many enemies, is now even more disliked by people in the industry.
Xu Zhang has become closer to his parents, and they talk on the phone every other day.
Seeing that Xu Zhang insisted on telling his grandfather, Lin Wanwan had no choice but to sit down next to Gu Changfeng and ask, "What happened to Uncle Zhang who was sick before?"
Why are you asking that?
"I just saw how emotionally distraught he was, and I felt he wasn't suitable to stay in the military."
“He was much calmer when he got back that day, so he should be fine. The army wouldn’t ignore him if he was sick, so they sent him to work as a warehouse manager in the logistics warehouse.”
Lin Wanwan thought about it for a moment, but when she was writing her novel, she interspersed a plot about catching spies. The story was also called "Zhang Jiang". He also chose to become a spy and sell information about his own country because he was sick and had no money for treatment.
However, the plot has changed automatically because of her involvement, and it's unclear whether this 'Zhang Jiang' is the same person as the 'Zhang Jiang' in her book.
Lin Wanwan was always worried. In her book, Lu Feng, the male protagonist, almost died because of this 'Zhang Jiang'.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so serious?" Gu Changfeng couldn't help but ask her when he saw her lost in thought.
"Ah, it's nothing. I was just wondering why Uncle Zhang suddenly became so calm."
“What are you worried about? Why don’t you tell me and we can think about it together,” Gu Bei said, looking at her.
“Actually, I’ve been secretly observing him lately. Uncle Zhang seems to be doing quite well. Once I saw him on the road with a worried look on his face. He would look worried when he saw people, but when there were no people on the road, he couldn’t stop smiling.”
“That doesn’t prove anything,” Gu Bei said, a little puzzled as to why she would suspect Zhang Jiang.
"I can't say anything about that. Uncle Gu, haven't you seen Zhang Jiang in a long time? He looks radiant, has gained weight, and is full of energy. He goes to the hospital for treatment every day. Xiao Jin from the supply and marketing cooperative even said that he goes to buy eggs every few days and occasionally buys some meat."
Lu Feng nodded and said nonchalantly, "When you're sick, you naturally need to eat well."
“He lost control of his emotions before because he didn’t have money, but now he has money to buy eggs and occasionally meat.”
Gu Changfeng fell silent after hearing her words. "You mean he has other sources of income?"
“I didn’t mean anything by it. I’m just wondering why he lost control of his emotions. It’s because he didn’t have money for medical treatment. He can’t suddenly have money all of a sudden,” Lin Wanwan said cautiously, glancing at Gu Changfeng’s expression.
“Since his injury, I have been secretly observing him for many days. Two or three days after that day, he was still in a depressed mood. Then one day, he suddenly became in a better mood and even got a job as a logistics warehouse manager. He also went to buy eggs and meat every few days.”
"You think he embezzled military property?" Gu Changfeng frowned deeply.
Lin Wanwan glanced at Gu Changfeng and carefully said, "It takes time to sell the things in the army's warehouse. It's impossible for him to have money to buy this and that so quickly. It seems he also ordered milk for his youngest son."
After Lin Wanwan finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. Gu Bei asked her, "Do you suspect him of betraying the country?"
Lin Wanwan quickly waved her hand, "I didn't, I didn't say anything, I was just curious, just take it as me talking nonsense."
In fact, Gu Changfeng had also suspected that he might harm Xu Zhang again. He had even had someone follow him. Although Xu Zhang was in low spirits, he did not do anything to harm others.
“I will investigate this matter. Don’t follow him anymore. If he really has a problem, this is too dangerous. You can’t do it anymore,” Gu Changfeng said with a stern face.
“Lu Feng, keep an eye on her. She’s more decisive than anyone else. Don’t let her act on her own. If she really is a spy, this matter will have serious implications. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll have someone send you back to the capital.”
Lin Wanwan immediately waved her hand and said, "I won't go by myself, I'm a good girl."
Lu Feng frowned as well, "Uncle Gu, I will keep an eye on her."
Xu Zhangye was startled. "How could you keep something this big from us? If he has a problem, you'll be in great danger."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really won't do it again."
Lin Wanwan quickly waved her hand, saying she was just worried.
"Don't tell anyone about this yet; it's a very important matter," Gu Changfeng instructed.
Lin Wanwan quickly changed the subject, "What did Grandpa say? Did he support me?"
"Grandpa was very happy and said he would definitely support you and would send you some materials."
"Really?! That's wonderful! I feel like I have divine assistance now," Lin Wanwan said happily.
“Study hard and review your studies. Your grandfather said that once you return to Beijing after your exams, he will practice English with you. He also knows German and Russian. He can teach you. He is worried that he will not be able to find someone to inherit his mantle.”
"Really? Then I have another great language teacher."
Lin Wanwan resigned from her job at the Women's Federation, and Li Mei kept trying to persuade her to stay, saying, "Sister, why did you quit? If it's because of Sister He, you really don't need to do this. Every job has its ups and downs. Just let it go after you've had your argument."
“Sister Mei, I really didn’t do it for anyone else. You asked me to work here before, and I did it because of you. It was also because of you that I wrote that charter. You took good care of me when I first came here, so this is my way of repaying you. Actually, I prefer working at the broadcasting station, and leaving here was only a matter of time.”
Lin Wanwan finished packing her things, looked up and smiled at her, "Whenever you come to my house for tea, you'll always be my older sister."
Li Mei smiled in relief, "It was my insistence that you come in the first place. Oh well, if you like the broadcasting station, then go to the broadcasting station."
"Thank you, sis. I'm heading back now. Remember to come over for dinner!"
