Chapter 110 The first official mission
The information provided by Ah Fu gave Gu Ming a feeling of seeing the moon through the clouds. If all this information was true, then Ji Xun was highly suspected.
Jiang Siyi picked up her phone, took a few photos of the screen, and then sent them to Zhang Quan through the intranet.
After a while, Zhang Quan called: "Siyi, do you suspect Zhao?"
"At least Zhao Qi should be suspected." Jiang Siyi said, "If Du Ziteng is not the sniper, then Zhao Qi is very likely, after all, snipers are not cabbages that can be seen everywhere."
"You continue to investigate according to the original plan. I give you the permission to act first and report later. You can act according to the situation." The car was very quiet, so Zhang Quan's voice was also clearly heard by Gu Ming.
Gu Ming then realized that Zhang Quan had arranged for Jiang Siyi to secretly investigate Ji Xun. In this way, Jiang Siyi's contact with Ji Xun by taking advantage of the Liang Group's incident should have been part of her plan.
"I understand, boss."
"By the way, that kid Gu Ming should be next to you, right?"
Gu Ming was stunned, feeling like he was being watched. How did Zhang Quan know that he and Jiang Siyi were together?
Jiang Siyi saw Gu Ming's expression, covered her phone and whispered, "That's not what I said."
Gu Ming simply said loudly, "No."
Zhang Quan chuckled and said, "Gu Ming, now I'll give you your first task after entering Tianxuan. Cooperate with Jiang Siyi's investigation and protect her safety."
"No time." Gu Ming said without thinking.
If Jiang Siyi asked him for help privately, Gu Ming would most likely help, but if it was in the form of a task, Gu Ming would instinctively feel a sense of resistance.
Helping Jiang Siyi is mutual help between friends, and of course you can choose not to help, but if it is a task, you can't accept it and not do it, or even don't try your best. Even if you encounter danger, you have to bite the bullet and go ahead, which is not in line with Gu Ming's life philosophy.
Gu Ming's refusal seemed to be completely within Zhang Quan's expectations. He said directly: "Complete the task will get a performance bonus, and there will also be an objective merit value."
"How much is it exactly?"
"The bonus is eight W, and the merit value is two thousand." Zhang Quan decisively reported the chips.
"How about rounding it up, 100,000 bonus, 5,000 merit?"
"Asshole, do you think this is a vegetable market to buy vegetables? Are you bargaining with me?"
"Leader, you also know that my work in the Tianquan Department is very busy, and my strength is low. If I encounter danger, I may die in a minute. The little reward you give is not as good as me taking two simple and easy tasks on the internal network." Gu Ming said, "By the way, I have heard that leaders like to take bribes at all levels. Did you deduct part of the bonus and merit?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Quan listened to Gu Ming's ridicule and was so angry that his eyelids jumped. If he could, he wanted to fly to Gu Ming and strangle him to death twice.
"A bonus of 100,000 is fine, but don't think about merit. The only permission I can agree to is 2,000. But if you perform well in the mission, I can apply to my superiors to increase your merit." Zhang Quan said. Although he was very reluctant, he had to compromise in order to let Gu Ming join Tianxuan's actions as much as possible according to his teacher's wishes.
"Deal." Gu Ming's not-so-rich life since childhood made him well versed in bargaining skills and knew when to stop when he saw the good, but his decisive agreement made Zhang Quan feel a sense of frustration that the arrow was already on the string but could not be shot.
Zhang Quan's original idea was to knock Gu Ming. As long as Gu Ming made another offer, he would continue to lower the conditions. Unexpectedly, Gu Ming agreed directly.
In the final analysis, it was because Zhang Quan didn't know Gu Ming well enough. After all, in anyone's opinion, the importance of merit is far higher than money, but Zhang Quan didn't expect that Gu Ming's goal at the beginning was just money.
There are plenty of opportunities to earn merits on the internal network, and his goal is the innate visualization map. Two thousand merit points may seem like a lot, but for Gu Ming, it is just a drop in the bucket and not a necessity at the moment.
After just following Jiang Siyi to hang out in the upper class circle of Yushan for a few days, lack of money is Gu Ming's top priority.
Jiang Siyi almost couldn't help laughing when listening to the conversation between the two. She and Gu Ming have been together for so long, and she can be said to be the person who knows Gu Ming best. When Gu Ming mentioned the bonus, she had already guessed Gu Ming's purpose.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Siyi said to him: "You are the first person I have ever seen who dares to negotiate with his superiors."
"Basic operation, don't be stupid."
"But are you stupid or what? Even if you want to negotiate, of course, merit points are the priority. What's the use of you wanting money?"
"Haven't you heard that a penny can make a hero fail? Forget it, you haven't lived a poor life, and you won't understand these things when I tell you, let's go."
"Where to go?"
"You have the final say." Gu Ming said, "Zhang Quan has said that my actions from now on will be under your command, and whatever you say is what it is."
"Okay, come with me to meet someone." After saying that, Jiang Siyi stepped on the accelerator, and the car began to speed on the mountain road.
Ah Fu stood in front of the French window, and the smile that was often on his face gradually solidified, and finally disappeared, replaced by a cold murderous intent.
The sky was originally clear, but dark clouds were floating in it. Slowly, the blue sky was covered by dark clouds. Thunder rumbled like a drum of war. A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and heavy rain poured down.
"The weather in Yushan is really unpredictable." Gu Ming sighed, "It can rain so heavily in winter."
Jiang Siyi said casually: "The weather here is like this. Once winter comes, don't expect to see the sun for a few days. But today's heavy rain is indeed the first time in a long time."
In another black car, Ji Xun sat quietly in the back seat, his hands crossed on his knees, his eyes empty, and he seemed to be thinking.
Yu Haoyang was concentrating on driving. Even though he had a lot of questions in his mind, he didn't dare to speak before Ji Xun spoke. If he disturbed Ji Xun's thoughts, the consequences would be very serious.
I don't know how long it took, anyway, the car had already entered the city, and Ji Xun finally broke the silence. He said: "Haoyang, you have to be prepared for the battle next. We may have a few tough battles to fight."
When he heard about the battle, Yu Haoyang's eyes seemed to be shining. He was a militant himself. After coming to Yushan, he thought he could show his skills, but Ji Xun only assigned him the task of a driver, which made Yu Haoyang feel suffocated.
Last time when he went to grab the mirror bug, he volunteered to go, but was stopped by Zhao Qi. He was depressed all night. Now he heard that he could finally do it, and he was so excited that he almost went in the wrong direction.
"Boss, don't worry, I'm always ready. Just tell me when to do it. I promise to do whatever you tell me to do and complete the task beautifully."
...
At 5:30 in the afternoon, what Gu Ming didn't expect was that the person Jiang Siyi wanted to see was actually him.
