Considering An Jingzhi's current importance, if he takes the initiative to apply not to go to the institute, it is likely that his application will be approved.
However, the greater possibility is that the laboratory will use various methods to induce the other party to conduct research actively.
"Wait a little longer. The research institute hasn't notified me yet."
As he opened the door, he muttered, "I should have known not to publish that paper."
The paper still needs to be published, otherwise how can we prove its importance?
How could his request be taken seriously?
"I just saw you coming out from next door to me. Have you moved?"
"Yes. We will be neighbors from now on," Jonah said.
"That's great! I'm getting tired of the cafeteria food."
The corners of Jonah's mouth twitched. When he wasn't around, the other party could eat anything, but why did he have to be picky about this and that when he showed up?
Before moving in to be An Jingzhi's neighbor, he had also considered whether to let An Jingzhi take him in.
But after thinking about it, he gave up. Given their relationship, An Jingzhi would indeed take him in, but only for a period of time.
"Ann," he said tentatively, "I mentioned before that I would hire a maid to help you with the housework. Would you really like to reconsider it?"
An Jingzhi slumped down on the sofa and shook his head gently, "Absolutely not."
"I don't like people in my house."
"How about this," Jonah took a step back and said, "I'll have my maid come to your house to help you with the work, and then she can go back to my house when she's done."
An Jingzhi did not refuse directly. He found that Jonah was very persistent in placing people under his nose.
Now that he has rejected her openly, will the other party secretly arrange for someone else?
Instead of doing this, it would be better for him to agree actively. In this way, he can clearly see any little moves the other party makes.
Seeing An Jingzhi hesitate, Qiao Na struck while the iron was hot: "An, although most of the time you can eat in the cafeteria of the school and the institute."
"But there are always things that need to be done around the house, and you don't want to let strangers into your home."
"My maid has been working in my house for three years. She's very hardworking and absolutely reliable. Besides, she doesn't have to live in your house while she's working, and you don't have to pay her salary."
He pointed to a corner of the leather sofa and said, "Look, this sofa needs some maintenance. If you had a maid, you wouldn't have to worry about these things."
An Jingzhi seemed to be persuaded and nodded slowly, saying, "Then do as you say, but she must inform me in advance when she will come."
"She's not allowed to come over when I'm not home," he warned. "You know, Jonah, I'm a scientist. I have a lot of important information at home. Losing any of it would be a serious mistake."
"I understand, An, you can rest assured about this."
An Jingzhi looked at him suspiciously and warned him again: "I will build a lot of tricks by then. If I find any problems, we won't even be friends anymore. Do you understand?"
Jonah's face froze, and he gave up his thoughts. He forced a smile and said, "Of course, there's absolutely no problem with that."
"Or, why not just give up? You have to pay money and take responsibility." An Jingzhi hesitated again.
"It's okay!" Jonah said quickly, "It's okay, Ann, we are friends!"
"By the way, I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. It's settled now!" Fearing that the other party would go back on his word, he quickly got up and left.
An Jingzhi came to the study and checked the mechanism he had set up as usual, but found that no one had touched it.
Uncharacteristically, he ran to the window and yelled, "There's a thief! Who the hell stole my stuff?"
"I'm going to call the police!"
Jonah had just returned home and hadn't even sat down when he was disturbed by An Jingzhi's voice.
He hurried out of the house, looked up at An Jingzhi standing on the second floor cursing and asked, "What's wrong, An?"
"There's a thief in my house!"
Jonah was shocked and even more anxious than An Jingzhi. He quickly ran to An Jingzhi's study.
"What was stolen?!"
"My pen is gone! I just came in and noticed the desk was a bit messy, and then I realized I couldn't find my pen!"
An Jingzhi's face was filled with grief and indignation. "That was the pen my grandma bought me! I've been using it for ten years! And it's gone just like that!"
"If I find out which bastard stole my pen, I'll chop his hand off!"
"You know, I can't go back home now. My grandmother and mother don't understand me. That pen is my only souvenir!"
"That damn thief actually stole my only souvenir!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "I will tear him into pieces!"
He grasped Jonah's arms tightly with both hands and asked expectantly, "Jonah, your father is an official. You will definitely help me, right?"
When Jonah heard that the other party's things were stolen, he thought it was some precious information, or at least some treasure.
What kind of pen is this that I’ve been using for ten years?
Who would steal a ten-year-old pen?!
Jonah was almost overwhelmed by An Jingzhi's roar.
"Apart from the pen, nothing else is missing?"
"What do you mean besides the pen? I lost my pen, this is a very serious matter!"
Without getting Jonah's promise, An Jingzhi simply let go of Jonah's arm, walked downstairs and prepared to go out to call the police.
Jonah followed him, but before he could call out to him, An Jingzhi drove past him.
"An! Wait a minute!"
