Chapter 1024: Xia Lao Shows Up
"Wow, the archaeology nerd calls me a goddess. I think I can brag about it!" Xia Chuqi teased Nie Yao in a funny way, which made Nie Yao laugh.
The two of them joked with each other for a while before Nie Yao finally spoke out her intentions: "Chuqi, actually, I'm looking for you this time because I want to trouble you with something..."
"Go ahead!" Xia Chuqi answered without thinking.
"Regarding the incident where my grandfather's house was surrounded by reporters, even though they've been dispersed, I'm still a little worried. What if a paparazzi climbs over the wall and scares him..."
Nie Yao paused and whispered, "There's also Nie Jinxi, who's a real worry. Last time I caught her sneaking around, I wonder if she was trying to steal something from the elders. So I want to install a real-time surveillance system in the Nie family's old house!"
Upon hearing Nie Yao's idea, Xia Chuqi nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "That's a good idea. Today's surveillance systems are becoming more and more advanced. Installing a whole-house smart surveillance system will allow us to alert the police at any time if there are any problems, and any mobile device can also be used to view the information..."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too. And I remember that the Feng family's company sells this system, so I wanted to ask you for help!"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, Xia Chuqi smiled and said, "You're the right person to come to me for this matter. This newly upgraded system can also prevent hacker attacks. I designed it..."
"Great, Chuqi, I knew I was right to find you!" Nie Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then hesitated and said, "But there's a problem now. My grandfather is old, and it might be hard for him to accept this, or to persuade him. I heard that your old house in the Xia family also has such surveillance installed. How did you convince your father back then?"
"This matter... is a long story..." Xia Chuqi sighed lightly and told Nie Yao the whole story of installing surveillance cameras in the Xia family's old house.
Nie Yao listened very carefully, without interrupting until Xia Chuqi finished speaking. Then, somewhat surprised, she said, "So Feng Xun sent someone over to inspect the circuits and everything, and installed surveillance cameras along the way?"
"Yes, that man is no ordinary person. He is a very powerful intelligence expert under Feng Xun. At the time, the matter was urgent, so we had to act first and ask for permission later. But later, my father found out, and after we explained it to him, he finally forgave us!"
Xia Chuqi said this and added with a smile: "My dad felt uncomfortable at first, but later he checked it himself and felt very safe!"
"Yeah, but unfortunately the situation here is different from yours, and I can't use the tactic of executing first and reporting later!" Nie Yao shrugged and smiled helplessly.
"You really don't need to do this, but since you want to persuade your grandfather, I think I can ask my father to come forward!" Xia Chuqi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Your grandfather may not trust others, but he should believe what my father says!"
Nie Yao's eyes lit up, a hint of anticipation ignited in them: "Is it really possible? Will this be too much trouble for Senior Xia?"
"How could that be? Anyway, my dad has nothing to do and often goes out for tea and chat. I'll call him and tell him..." Xia Chuqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Leave this matter to me. I will ensure that my dad will take action and get your grandfather's approval. Then I can arrange for someone to come and help you install the old house of your Nie family!"
