Chapter 513: A Fable
The childhood sweethearts of the past are the passing of time.
Gu Siqing pondered this for a moment. Was this a declaration of war? But judging from Qiao Yidan's previous behavior, he didn't seem to be such an impulsive person!
But no matter what, they have said it to your face. If you don’t fight back, you don’t know what disgusting things they will do in the future.
"Did you grow up abroad?" Gu Siqing had a smile on her face, as if she didn't hear what she just said.
Qiao Yidan frowned and said, "No, I went to the United States when I was a sophomore in high school."
"Oh, that can be considered as receiving Chinese education. I wonder if you have heard of a fable." Gu Siqing asked with a smile, as if she was discussing academic matters with someone.
Qiao Yidan had no idea what she was up to, but she still followed her lead and asked, "What fable?"
"The story goes like this," Gu Siqing said, "There was a toad that caught pests in the fields every day to eat. Because it was so capable and caught so many pests, it was praised many times by the leaders of the Toad Association. The toads around it were really envious and jealous of it.
The toad grew increasingly arrogant, believing himself invincible. One day, a swan, tired from flying, landed on the ground to rest. The toad saw it and was immediately struck by its beauty. Thinking its flesh must be delicious, the toad felt confident that with its own abilities, it could definitely eat the swan's flesh.
It slowly walked to the side of the swan and opened its mouth to bite the swan, but at this moment, the swan suddenly flew up. The toad didn't bite the swan, but was blown down by the swan's wings and hit the rocks. It almost died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Qiao Yidan: ""
What a fucking fable, it's about the Toad Society and cerebral hemorrhage.
"Haha," Gu Siqing asked Qiao Yidan with a smile, "Don't you think this toad, oh, toad, is too wishful thinking?"
Qiao Yidan's face flushed red with anger, and her facial muscles were so tense that they were distorted. She was calling her a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!
Taking a deep breath, she said, "I heard Miss Gu is a novelist. She's really good at making up stories."
Gu Siqing shrugged. "I usually don't make up stories for others easily. This story is specially made for you. I think it suits you very well."
After saying that, she turned and walked to the elevator to go upstairs. She no longer felt like going out. Back in the office, she leaned back on the sofa and thought, this Qiao Yidan's behavior was so different now!
He had hinted at it intentionally or unintentionally before, why was he suddenly so direct now?
Why?
Unable to figure it out for a moment, she gave up thinking about it and continued reading the book.
At noon, Han Zhengping came back and they went to the cafeteria to eat together. Because she was worried, Gu Siqing didn't want to talk much. Han Zhengping noticed her strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Siqing glanced at him and decided to go back and talk about it, so she said, "I'll tell you when I get back."
"What happened?" Han Zhengping asked again.
"Let's eat first and tell you when I get back." Gu Siqing was indeed a little hungry.
"good."
The two of them ate in the cafeteria and then returned to the office together. After picking the man up, Han Zhengping asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Someone said something to me today and I got mad at him." Gu Siqing's cheeks were puffed up and she looked really angry.
Han Zhengping raised his hand and pinched her cheek, then asked, "What did you say?"
Gu Siqing: "The childhood sweethearts of the past, the flowing water and falling flowers of the future."
Han Zhengping's expression turned ugly, and there was even a hint of hostility in his eyes. He was cursing that the two of them could not last long!
"Who told you that?" he asked.
"Qiao Yidan."
Gu Siqing looked into his eyes. Although she believed him completely, Qiao Yidan had already blatantly challenged her. How could she not have done anything to him? But when he heard the name Qiao Yidan, there was no surprise in his eyes, as if he had known it for a long time.
"Then how did you reply to her?" Han Zhengping asked.
Gu Siqing snorted, "I told her a story about a toad."
Then she told the story again. Han Zhengping buried his face in her neck and laughed muffledly. Gu Siqing was tickled and pushed him away and said, "Is it funny?"
Han Zhengping smiled and nodded. Seeing that she was about to get angry, he said, "The swan she wants is not me."
Gu Siqing was a little confused. "What does that mean? Then who is the swan she wants?"
Han Zhengping pulled her to the lounge, closed the door, and carried her back inside. He then whispered in her ear, "What she wants is the core data of the laboratory."
Gu Siqing opened her mouth in shock, and it took her a while to find her voice, "She... she is a spy?"
When she mentioned the word "spy", her voice lowered unconsciously.
Han Zhengping nodded and whispered, "After our patent application was successful, it caused a sensation in the entire industry and attracted the attention of many people. When I was in the United States, I discovered that Qiao Yidan had contact with people from our company."
"What about Engineer Qiao?" Gu Siqing asked. Did he know that his sister was a spy? Or was he involved?
"Engineer Qiao seems to be fine now," Han Zhengping said, "but he has not been allowed to touch the core things."
"Then why bring Qiao Yidan back?" Gu Siqing asked.
If I don't bring her back with me when I return to China, nothing will happen.
Han Zhengping: "Only by bringing her back can she be brought to justice. She is still a Chinese citizen."
Thinking about the person who stole their information, how could he let him go so easily?
"Then why did she provoke me? Or to sow discord between us?" Gu Siqing couldn't understand. She didn't work in the company and had never been to the laboratory once. What did it have to do with her?
"The core information is all with me," Han Zhengping explained to her, "and I've always been cautious, so she won't find a chance to steal it. But if we quarrel, and you make me irritated, will I let my guard down?"
this
Even her novels are not this complicated.
"Then why don't you just let her go on purpose?" Gu Siqing said.
Han Zhengping: "Even if I wanted to let her go, I had to do it without leaving any trace! She's very cautious."
Gu Siqing: Well, with a brain like hers, she’s not suitable to be a spy.
"So should we turn the tables now?" Gu Siqing rolled up her sleeves. "Should I have a fight with you now?"
Han Zhengping hugged her and smiled, "Okay, let's have a fight now, then you run out the door and I'll chase you."
Gu Siqing suddenly became full of fighting spirit. She pushed him away and said, "Life is a play. It's all about acting. Come on!"
Han Zhengping couldn't help but hug the person in his arms again and laughed. How could he be so cute?
