It's a pity that this savior was a bit too foolish. Even if he didn't want to clash with the group, couldn't he at least try to avoid it? Why was he so inflexible?
I couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you so honest? Didn't you know to dodge? If that rock had hit you, you'd be dead, you know?"
The figure didn't speak, but simply nodded at her and turned to leave.
Xu Ningyan called out to him, "Um, you saved me, right? I've been unconscious for the past few days and just woken up! I'm so sorry, I didn't even know!"
"Don't worry, my benefactor, I'll go back and prepare right away. I'll come to thank you in person in a couple of days! I'm so grateful to you; if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be dead—"
He stepped forward and bowed ninety degrees to the man.
Seeing Xu Ningyan take a step forward, the man cautiously took two steps back, his attitude cold and unapproachable: "No need to thank me! Your captain is right, don't associate with people like us, lest you get implicated! It's better for everyone!"
Xu Ningyan was taken aback, and her impression of the person in front of her improved even more.
Although his attitude was cold, it only proved that he was a kind-hearted person who was afraid of implicating others.
He risked his life to save me, so if I didn't repay his life-saving grace in order to avoid suspicion and protect myself, I would be a terrible person!
Xu Ningyan said solemnly, "You are my savior. How can I say I'm a burden when I thank you? Don't worry, my benefactor, I'm not the kind of ungrateful person! By the way, my benefactor, my name is Xu Ningyan, everyone calls me Siya. What's your name?"
The person didn't respond, it was unclear whether they didn't believe it or were no longer willing to believe it.
Xu Ningyan was not about to let him go. After all this time, he still didn't know the name of his savior.
Judging from the way my benefactor is acting, he doesn't expect anything in return.
The more this happened, the more she wanted to repay in kind; yes, the main theme was rebellion!
Now that I know my benefactor's name, even if I can't repay him in person, seeing his current state of destitution, I can find a way to send him something under someone else's name to help him out.
Seeing that her benefactor was determined to turn back to the house next to the cowshed, she simply spread her arms and stood guard at the door, gently persuading her: "Benefactor, you should think of it this way: you saved me, that's a great deed that saves a life! I know your name now, I'll have someone write a thank-you letter when I get back, and have the brigade leader and the others tell the commune leaders to praise you, so they'll know that even though your class background is bad, you saved someone without expecting anything in return, and your ideology is still both red and expert, isn't that good?"
The man's lips twitched, and he resolutely refused: "No need!"
“My benefactor, you don’t need to worry about implicating our Unity Brigade! Your good performance proves that you have reformed well in our brigade, and the brigade leader and others have made achievements! Furthermore, it is also due to the effective leadership of the commune leaders, don’t you think?”
Xu Ningyan felt that her benefactor was a bit too honest and simple. Why keep a good deed a secret? Of course, it should be publicized! Public image is very important, okay?
If he establishes a persona of someone with a bad social background but a heart devoted to the people, wouldn't that improve his situation to some extent?
Why doesn't this benefactor understand his good intentions?
However, she also understood that those with a slightly more tactful nature probably wouldn't be sent down to the countryside.
The person opposite him rubbed his temples helplessly, probably because he really didn't expect the girl in front of him to be so stubborn.
Judging from this, I'm afraid she won't leave today unless I tell her my name.
He sighed inwardly and had no choice but to speak: "Gu Zhiyuan."
"My benefactor, if you don't tell me today, I'm not leaving—huh?" Xu Ningyan said halfway before realizing that her benefactor had told her his name.
Gu Zhiyuan, what a nice name, but why does it sound so familiar?
However, Xu Ningyan didn't think much of it. She looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, and she could tell that Gu Zhiyuan was very impatient.
Having learned her benefactor's name, she tactfully took her leave.
"Okay, Comrade Gu! I'll come see you again in a couple of days! I'm going back now—" After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave without hesitation.
Gu Zhiyuan, who had expected Xu Ningyan to stay and continue to pester him, was taken aback.
However, he quickly came to his senses.
How could a grown man like him possibly guess what a teenage girl is thinking? And why would he argue with a little girl?
Shaking his head, Gu Zhiyuan didn't go inside. Instead, he turned around and went around to the back of the cowshed. Using the rocks and trees as cover, he disappeared behind the mountain path in a few steps.
On her way back, Xu Ningyan kept muttering the name of her benefactor.
Gu Zhiyuan, why does that name sound so familiar? Where have I heard it before? Or seen it before?
Frowning and racking her brains, she finally remembered as she approached the Xu family's gate: wasn't this the name of a powerful figure mentioned later in the novel about a beloved character?
The article mentions that Lu Kai's business is thriving, but if he wants to take it to the next level, he needs a new technology.
This core technology is possessed by only one company in Beijing.
The big boss behind that company is Gu Zhiyuan.
Gu Zhiyuan was once sent down to the Tuanjie Brigade and remained unknown.
He was only able to return to the capital after his name was cleared.
Lu Kai only learned about this news after making inquiries from various sources.
Using this connection, he managed to get in touch with Gu Zhiyuan and went to Beijing full of confidence, intending to facilitate cooperation between the two companies.
They returned dejectedly not long afterward.
The text doesn't go into detail about what Lu Kai encountered in the capital, only stating that after returning to the provincial capital, Lu Kai never mentioned going to the capital again.
When Xu Zhenzhu asked about it, he even lost his temper with her.
Later, Lu Kai's business grew bigger and bigger, but he never set foot in Beijing again, as if he had some kind of fear about it.
If nothing unexpected happens, is the person who saved my life the future big shot?
Xu Ningyan's first reaction was, "So this is what happened to the big boss when he was young! He was actually hit by stones and sticks by some country bumpkins. If it weren't for me today, he might have been seriously injured."
No wonder he disappeared without a trace after leaving the Unity Brigade and returning to the capital.
Lu Kai was unaware of the humiliation the big boss suffered in the Unity Brigade, and he rashly went to their door. No wonder he was not welcomed!
This made Xu Ningyan feel even more favorably toward Gu Zhiyuan.
Her own stance was opposed to that of Xu Zhenzhu.
Lu Kai couldn't possibly be unaware of Xu Zhenzhu's methods against the original owner of the body, yet he chose to stand idly by.
He watched helplessly as his wife pushed an innocent girl into the abyss.
Moreover, after the Xu family became rich by following Lu Kai, they also did some illegal things, and Lu Kai cleaned up their messes behind the scenes!
The book, however, lavishly praises Lu Kai's sincere feelings for Xu Zhenzhu and his boundless doting on her.
While reading the book, Xu Ningyan complained that it was using true love as a fig leaf to commit illegal and disorderly acts.
As the old saying goes, two people can't sleep in the same bed! A man who can stay with Xu Zhenzhu for a lifetime and pamper her without limits for a lifetime is naturally not a good person!
