Chapter 662: Threats and Inducements (Part 1)
Sheng Shijing's face darkened as he glanced at the newcomer with a cold gaze and said coldly, "Are you blind?"
Diwu Xuan was stunned for a moment before narrowing his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes. He asked, "Who are you calling blind?"
"Not only is he blind, he's also deaf." Xie Xihe lowered his voice. He scanned the man's face, and realizing he was a stranger, his attitude became even colder. "Is it inconvenient? Don't you have eyes to see? Do you need to ask?"
Only then did Diwu Xuan understand what the other party meant.
His eyes fell on the two people's hands still tightly held together. He scoffed in his heart, but when he thought of the purpose of his trip, he restrained his emotions and nodded slightly, saying, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention and disturbed you two."
He said so, but he had no intention of leaving.
His gaze still lingered on Xie Xihe, and he turned to ask, "Miss Xie, have you ever heard of the Guardian Hall?"
Xie Xihe glanced at the other person twice and said two words lightly: "I know."
Diwu Xuan's expression relaxed slightly, revealing some satisfaction.
It's good to know, it saves him the trouble of explaining.
Diwu Xuan thought about it and walked forward. He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xie Xihe. "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Diwu Xuan. I'm a senior researcher at the Guardian Hall. I'm currently participating in a project jointly developed by the Guardian Hall and the Future Base. I'm a second-level person in charge."
"I'm looking for Miss Xie because I saw the [Silence] and [Reunion] you just wrote. I think Miss Xie is quite capable in programming, so I want to invite Miss Xie to join my team."
Xie Xihe lowered his head to look at the business card, then looked away after a single glance, saying calmly, "Not interested."
Diwu Xuan's expression froze, and he stared at Xie Xihe for several seconds before making sure that he had heard correctly that the other party had said "not interested".
But he still didn't quite believe it, and couldn't help but confirm, "You said before that you'd heard of the Guardian Hall. Do you know its international status and mission?"
He emphasized his tone, emphasizing each word: "Independent of all countries, and above all countries, we take it as our responsibility to protect the world."
Diwu Xuan's usually calm face revealed a look of pride as he said, "The Guardian Hall has the world's richest resources and the most advanced technology of this era. It's the dream place for all researchers."
"Let's not even talk about faraway places. Just look at your own university, Jingda. How many students and professors are desperately trying to get into the Guardian Hall? Even if you just study there for a year or two, let alone joining, you'll benefit immensely. When you return from the Guardian Hall, you'll be the most dazzling presence in Jingda!"
It's really touching.
If it were someone else, he might really be persuaded immediately, but unfortunately, the person he was trying to persuade was Xie Xihe.
Xie Xihe repeated the same three words as before, without changing even the tone or volume. "Not interested."
Diwu Xuan's expression darkened, and his voice lost its previous politeness. He said, "Think carefully. I'm personally inviting you to join my team and become a researcher under me. If you insist on not agreeing, you might end up as a guard protecting the palace."
"By that time, I'm afraid we won't have the same preferential treatment as we have now."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, as if carrying a warning, and said, "Miss Xie may not know that the Guardian Hall has the right to recruit anyone to guard the Hall. At that time, not even your school, your family, or even your country will have the right to stop you!"
Xie Xihe: "Then we'll talk about it after we're called up."
After he finished speaking, he didn't even have the interest to look at the other person any more. He pulled Sheng Shijing's hand and was about to leave, but he failed to move him. He couldn't help but look up.
Sheng Shijing was also looking at her. He smiled when he met her gaze, raised his hand and patted her head gently, saying, "Go to the end of this road, in front of the milk tea shop you often go to. Qingyang's car is over there. Go over first."
Xie Xihe blinked slightly: "I'll go first?"
Sheng Shijing smiled and explained, "I have a few words to say to Mr. Fifth. Please wait for me in the car first."
Facing the girl's sparkling peach blossom eyes, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead, his voice low and hoarse: "Don't worry, it will be over soon."
"Don't worry, it will be fine soon."
The man's whisper in her ear last night suddenly emerged in her mind. It was also a hoarse voice that was deliberately lowered and carried a bewitching tone. Xie Xihe's heart beat faster. She glared at him angrily, broke free from his hand and left without looking back.
A low laugh escaped from Sheng Shijing's throat, but when he turned around and looked at Diwu Xuan, his expression instantly changed, and there was only coldness on his handsome face.
The man had a pair of hands with distinct joints, as slender as jade chopsticks, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off them.
He placed his right hand on his left wrist, took off his watch with a twist of his fingers, and casually put it into his trouser pocket.
Sheng Shijing walked forward, slowly rolling up his shirt sleeves to his forearms, and looked up: "Invite my daughter to join your team and be a researcher under you?"
Diwu Xuan was still immersed in the anger of being rejected twice in a row by Xie Xihe. He felt that although this girl was quite capable, she was too ungrateful.
It wasn't until Sheng Shijing's voice rang out above his head that he came back to his senses. When he looked up, he looked into the man's dark eyes like the sea, and was shocked by the raging coldness in them.
Before he came to his senses, his feet had already taken a step back uncontrollably. Diwu Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at him closely and asked: "You... who are you, and what do you want to do?"
"I'm warning you, you can't afford to offend the guardians of the palace. Don't...Ah!!"
Before he could utter the last word "luanlai", a sharp pain spread from his abdomen, and Diwu Xuan screamed in pain!
Sheng Shijing kicked the man into an alley not far away, not caring whether someone noticed the situation here and was hesitating whether to call the police. He went forward and beat Diwu Xuan up, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face, and his whole body was in pain as if it was falling apart.
Another kick flew out, and Diwu Xuan hit the wall on the side of the alley heavily. Sheng Shijing finally stopped.
He looked down at Diwu Xuan, his face clear and expressionless, and said calmly, "A senior researcher wants my daughter to work for you. Are you worthy enough?"
He took out his watch and put it on his wrist slowly, without even raising his eyelids, saying, "Think before you speak. Let's do it again and see if the Guardian Hall you are so proud of can protect you."
"roll."
Diwu Xuan was filled with humiliation and anger, but he could do nothing to the other party. He could only struggle to get up and walk out with a grim face.
See you tonight
