Chapter 151 It's an honor
Even Grandpa Zhou's eyes gleamed, his gaze towards Zhong Wan filled with surprise and admiration.
Not to mention others,
Director Qin was no less shocked than the others, but he quickly suppressed his inner turmoil.
His sharp gaze fell on Zhong Wan's pale face covered in sweat, and his eyes instantly became deep, his gaze filled with inquiry and contemplation.
Her abilities far exceeded his expectations.
"Comrade Zhong Wan,"
Director Qin looked at Zhong Wan and said in an unquestionable tone, "You need to rest immediately."
"Your abilities are extraordinary, but it seems to take a huge toll on you as well."
He paused, looked at Du Qian's illusory figure, then at Zhong Wan, and pondered, "How long can Mr. Du maintain his current state?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan subconsciously looked at Du Qian, noticing his figure, which appeared even more solid than yesterday.
[In this environment, if his energy needs aren't replenished in time, he'll revert to his previous state within three days.]
Take him to the shop; at least until his obsession dissipates, his appearance will remain unchanged.
Zhong Wan understood, turned to Director Qin to relay the message, and added, "The store key is in my bag. Yan An, please go and get it for Director Qin."
"Until Mr. Du's obsession is resolved, the store will be handed over to you for research and use."
As she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded her, "There's a... well, I drew a ghost of a corporate slave in the shop, called Ah Gui, but don't worry about it, it's only responsible for watching the shop and cleaning, it won't affect your research."
Director Qin understood and nodded his thanks: "The general store is an essential base for the research and protection of Mr. Du and the 'Records of Folk Customs'. Even if you hadn't brought it up, we would have requisitioned it, and the relevant fees and compensation would have been paid in full soon."
Zhong Wan shook her head: "No need for the fee. Consider it my personal support for the country. I am also honored to have the opportunity to participate in a national project."
Director Qin's expression softened considerably upon hearing this; her gaze was sincere and honest.
Just looking at it is heartening.
Grandpa Zhou was the same. He smiled and turned to Director Qin, nodding slightly. "Since Wanwan has said so, you don't need to be so polite."
"but,"
Grandpa Zhou paused for a moment, then continued in a steady and loud voice, "However, my granddaughter-in-law still needs to recuperate. I hope she can recover first before we talk about anything else. What do you think, Director Qin?"
Director Qin nodded in agreement: "Old Zhou is right."
"Next, Comrade Zhong Wan can rest and recuperate. I will immediately arrange for the best medical staff to come over, and at the same time, I will increase security forces to ensure Comrade Zhong Wan's absolute safety."
Zhong Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, they didn't take her away for research.
However, she slowly shook her head, looked at Director Qin, and then at Old Master Zhou: "There's no need to waste any more manpower on me. I just need to rest and recuperate. Lin Yan'an knows that, and it's enough that he's by my side."
Zhong Wan glanced out the window, then looked at Grandpa Zhou and smiled slightly: "Besides, Grandpa's place is very safe and quiet, which is already very good."
Lin Yan'an nodded in agreement, saying, "Too many people at night makes me uncomfortable and it's not good for my rest."
"There's a clinic here too, and there are enough doctors."
Director Qin stared at Zhong Wan for a few seconds, realizing she genuinely didn't want to be disturbed too much. Considering Old Zhou's status and his residence...
He finally nodded: "Okay, I respect your wishes."
"However, the doctor's test results need to be reported in a timely manner. I will explain this to them later. We don't need to arrange security for you in this community, but it will be necessary when you go out. But don't worry, they will not disturb your peace or interfere with your life."
"If you don't contact them first, just pretend they don't exist."
Zhong Wan instantly understood that this was his bottom line, something she couldn't refuse, nor could she refuse it.
He nodded in agreement: "Okay, thank you very much, Director Qin."
Director Qin nodded, and seeing that things were arranged properly, he stood up: "In that case, I won't bother you any longer."
As he spoke, he reached into his chest pocket, took out a business card, and handed it over: "This is my business card. Remember to add the contact information on it. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions."
"OK, thanks."
Lin Yan'an reached out and took it, then handed it to Zhong Wan.
Director Qin smiled slightly upon seeing this: "Then Comrade Zhong Wan should rest well. Yan An, take good care of her."
Lin Yan'an nodded: "Uncle Qin, how could I not care about my wife?"
Director Qin couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle when he saw him like that.
Turning to Mr. Du, he explained, "Mr. Du, would you please come with us to the store first? We'll conduct the subsequent research there."
Du Qian understood and nodded in agreement. Then he turned to Zhong Wan and the others and bowed solemnly again, his tone gentle and full of gratitude: "Young friend Lin, Madam Lin, Mr. Zhou, thank you all for your help and shelter. I am extremely grateful. I will take my leave now and look forward to meeting you again someday."
His gaze finally settled on Zhong Wan, his eyes filled with gratitude and appreciation.
Although Zhong Wan was weak and exhausted, she still managed to smile and reassure him, "Mr. Du, don't worry, they will take good care of you. If you feel unwell, you can tell Ah Gui in the shop, and I will hear you. I look forward to your wish being fulfilled soon."
Thank you.
Du Qian nodded and thanked him again. Then his illusory figure slowly sank down, turning into wisps of black mist and disappearing into the drawing paper on the coffee table.
Director Qin raised his hand in a gesture of greeting.
Immediately, a team member stepped forward with a specially made box, bent down, and carefully put the drawing paper and the calligraphy brush into the box.
"Uncle Zhou, then we won't disturb you any longer,"
Director Qin looked at Old Master Zhou again to say goodbye: "I'll come see you again when I'm done with my work."
Grandpa Zhou sat upright on the sofa, exuding a calm and composed aura. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Go ahead, important business is at hand."
"I'm here for you, don't worry."
Director Qin nodded to everyone present, then turned and left with his entourage.
After they left, the living room became much quieter.
Zhong Wan looked at the kind-looking old man Zhou in front of her, and was initially hesitant about whether to say something.
Unexpectedly, just as Director Qin and his group left, someone else came in through the door.
Hearing slightly disordered footsteps, Zhong Wan subconsciously turned her head to look.
Seeing the group of people who had just walked in, he widened his eyes instantly: "Zhong Yang, brother and sister-in-law, when did you arrive?"
Even faster than them was Lin Yan'an.
He calmly handed the freshly poured warm water to Zhong Wan and said softly, "They've been here for a while."
