Chapter 126 An Ordinary Night
Gu Ming's sudden request made Zhang Quan somewhat unbelievable. They were discussing a very serious topic at the moment. Everyone was busy and worried about finding the fallen people like Ji Xun. Is it appropriate to talk about money at this time?
If he met a boss who didn't know Gu Ming at all, Gu Ming would probably have to kneel on the spot. Fortunately, Zhang Quan had long known Gu Ming's character from someone, so he didn't get angry.
"After the identification process is completed, the superior will naturally approve it. If you are anxious, you can pay attention to the internal network news. There will be tracking and notifications on any progress."
Gu Ming hurriedly pretended to pick up his mobile phone to check it. Sure enough, this task appeared in the "My Task" column, and the progress showed that it was in progress.
"Progress tracking is not timely, bad review." Gu Ming silently put away his mobile phone and said, "Minister, I fought a general-level ghost today, and there was also a muscle warrior with extraordinary strength. I was really exhausted. If there is nothing else, I will go back to rest first."
"Don't say it, there is really something else." Zhang Quan blurted out and said, Gu Ming almost EMO on the spot
Zhang Quan said, "You killed two fallen ones. If Ji Xun hadn't left Yushan, he would probably have retaliated against you to make up for his mistake."
Gu Ming said nonchalantly, "No one from the Black Alliance got out of Panlong Forest alive. How could he know that I did it?"
"I got drunk last night and mentioned this to my friends by mistake. You know, people talk loudly when they are drunk. There were many people present at the time, and since it involved the Liang family, it is now the focus of everyone's attention."
"You TM!" Gu Ming almost cursed, but when he saw Zhang Quan's evil smile of revenge, he knew that he was definitely doing it on purpose.
"Have you been planning to use me as bait?" Gu Ming asked.
"Do you think it's so easy to earn 100,000 federal coins and 2,000 merit points?" Zhang Quan asked back.
"A general-level demon, a muscular man with extraordinary combat power, and a group of countless demon armies, you call this a good profit?" The little flame in Gu Ming's heart gradually burned, "Do you know how the Liang family offered the awakened people who participated in this mission? Let me tell you, ordinary people start at 100,000, and awakened people start at 500,000. For someone like me, it's no problem to just get two or three million."
"Do you have any objections?" Zhang Quan said, naturally exuding a cold and evil aura, "Don't forget your identity, you are the night watchman of Beidou Tianxuan, even if you don't get a penny of reward, you have to go. As a human being, there are always more important things than money."
Gu Ming was shocked by Zhang Quan's momentum, thinking that a good man would not suffer a loss in front of him. What else can I, a person from another world, talk to you about if I don't talk about money, talk about faith? If I say I believe in Buddhism, do you understand?
"You are the leader, and you are right." Gu Ming said, and couldn't help but think of the middle-aged man who was getting fat and losing hair. Compared with Wei Dafa, Zhang Quan is not a good leader at all. He doesn't even know the most basic sympathy for his subordinates.
Talking about ideals, beliefs, sacrifices, and risks all the time, is this what employees want?
Of course not.
After Gu Ming left, Zhang Quan winked at Jiang Siyi and said, "Go and see him."
Jiang Siyi understood and followed Gu Ming out.
"Not going back?" In Gu Ming's office, Jiang Siyi saw Gu Ming boil water for cooking noodles, and then began to make the bed and arrange the quilt, so he asked.
"Not going back." Gu Ming said, "Zhang Quan is right about one thing. If Ji Xun is still in Yushan, and he has mastered the method of shielding perception, he will definitely find a chance to kill me. Who knows how many masters he has in his hands? A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."
"You are very cautious." Jiang Siyi smiled.
"You only have one life, how can you not be careful? I won't leave the branch until Ji Xun is eliminated. I don't believe he will be brave enough to come to the branch and fall into the trap."
"That's right."
Gu Ming made the bed and was busy cooking noodles. This is what he likes most about Beidou Branch. Although the overtime culture is a bit too much here, it is not stingy at all in terms of materials. It has everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and defecation. It is simply a blessing for single dogs. Those who don't buy a house don't have to go out to rent a house. There is no problem living here directly.
"Here you go." Ten minutes later, Gu Ming came on stage with two bowls of hot noodles, and handed one bowl to Jiang Siyi.
The hot noodles exuded a spicy and fresh aroma. Each bowl of noodles was added with a fried egg and sprinkled with a little chopped green onion. Although it was simple, for some reason, Jiang Siyi suddenly felt very happy.
At this moment, it seems that there are no monsters in the world, and this place is not the Beidou that protects China, but a two-bedroom and one-living room apartment in an ordinary community. A couple who work hard and come home late from overtime enjoy a simple midnight snack together, talk about the interesting things they encounter, and complain about the troubles at work. Such a plain life may be the happiest.
But Jiang Siyi also knows very well that she was born in a doomsday where monsters are rampant. As long as the monsters are not destroyed, such a plain life is a luxury that cannot be bought with any amount of money, especially for people like her who shoulder a mission. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Therefore, Jiang Siyi cherishes this moment of joy in front of her.
"Gu Ming, have you ever thought about what you want to do if one day we completely defeat the monsters?" Jiang Siyi asked.
"What else can I do? I'll just keep working and wait for retirement." Gu Ming said while eating noodles. He was really hungry. He had been fighting all day and had eaten something when he set out in the morning.
"Didn't you order anything else?"
"What else? Should I have a bunch of children with you to expand my Gu family and pass on my excellent genes?"
"Get lost!" Jiang Siyi was so angry that her face turned red. Since she met Gu Ming, her cold goddess persona has collapsed again and again.
"I don't care about those who finish first, and I wash the dishes after those who finish later." Gu Ming finished a large bowl of noodles in a few bites, and then put down the bowls and chopsticks and said proudly, "I cook, you wash the dishes, it's reasonable."
Jiang Siyi looked at Gu Ming's childlike smile, angry and amused. She didn't say anything. After eating a bowl of noodles, she quietly tied an apron and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. The cold goddess persona collapsed below the horizon.
If others saw the eldest daughter of Jiang Group wearing an apron and washing dishes in the kitchen, I don't know how many people would be shocked, and it would definitely be the headlines of major media.
When Jiang Siyi came out of the kitchen after her work, she heard Gu Ming's slight snoring. She walked over and saw that Gu Ming had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Jiang Siyi didn't wake him up. What Gu Ming said in Zhang Quan's office before was not a joke. He was really tired today. Both his spiritual power and mental power were consumed a lot. Facing two super-Vatican Valley masters, he would be doomed if he was not careful.
"Just sleep on the sofa." Jiang Siyi smiled, feeling that Gu Ming was indeed asleep. She carefully put her face close to Gu Ming's face, and her lips touched his face like a dragonfly touching water, then ran to the bedroom with a red face, locked the door, and hid in the quilt that Gu Ming had laid out in advance.
