CHAPTER XXXIV

In Hong Kong, An Nianrong's safe return was like a lightning bolt in the 'cloudy' sky, illuminating all the faces on the ground, and the emotions on their faces, whether surprised or disappointed or ecstatic or numb, were clearly expressed in that moment, and for An Nianrong herself, what she saw was that her influence was like this lightning enveloping these people.

For people outside of her department, An Nianrong's achievements cannot be replicated, and her ability to wander on the edge of a dangerous world so easily proves her extraordinary ability and efficiency. Outsiders don't care what methods she uses, outsiders only pay attention to the fact that An Nianrong can turn the tide when they need it. Ja'afari's attitude is indicative of the fact that Ja'afari's children live in secrecy and in the same luxury in a city as they did in Iraq. In this case, those who would benefit from the construction of Iraq's oil fields in particular will know who they should 'excite' and who they should rely on.

Although she is still in her rearing, she has already received many invitations, all of which are followed by the names of those who have played an important role. This is different from the occasions she used to accompany her father to attend, when she was just an embellishment, and now she is the focus, An Jiaqing and An Nianping both called her to remind her to pay attention to the places when 'mingling' with these characters, especially An Jiaqing, which even increased his own prestige. Because it is in different fields and systems, An Nianrong's achievements are largely regarded as An Jiaqing's 'daughter', which adds a lot of points to his personality charm.

Chu Jiangnan and An Xiaorong also came to accompany her, and Chu Jiangnan even took a month's long vacation for this.

An Xiaorong cut her hair short, and her big smart eyes and blown skin made her look like a 'spirit'. Her figure is about the same as An Nianrong, but when she sits at An Nianrong's feet, she looks so weak and can't help but be windy, which is in stark contrast to An Nianrong's cold 'glamorous' grace, although she can only lie there, but in Chu Jiangnan's eyes, this does not affect An Nianrong's demeanor.

"You have to give yourself a schedule, and it takes a lot of time for you to meet these people." Chu Jiangnan wore glasses and looked at those invitations and letters like a secretary, but he sat on the floor, much more casual than the secretary. "And the timing is also very knowledgeable, don't look at these people who value you very much now, but you have to pay attention to the etiquette in it. In officialdom, etiquette is also one of the factors that ruin or make a person. ”

An Nianrong gently kicked her sister's feet, feeling the soreness when her abdominal muscles were stretched, and in another three or two days, she could get out of bed and resume physical training. Feeling her weight gaining, she simply couldn't wait to get out of her hospital bed.

"I'm not going to meet these people at all, so I just need you to write some replies for me."

"But there are some people you can't refuse because they're all higher than you." Chu Jiangnan picked out some invitations. "There are some that you can't refuse, because although they don't have any level yet, it's clear that they have a bright future."

"Just pick the most important ones." An Nianrong smiled. "I don't care who these people are, I just show up for work, and the nature of my job allows me not to care about the etiquette and the people, and I really don't care about those people."

"You let me follow and have face, Nian Rong." Chu Jiangnan looked at her happily. "My father was full of praise for your achievements, and if there's one thing I've done that really makes him happy, it's our relationship."

"You don't live for your father." An Xiaorong suddenly 'interjected'. "Why make him happy?"

"Because I've always upset him, I've only listened to him once out of all the arrangements he's made for me, and that's the only thing where our father and son agree on that." Chu Jiangnan took off his glasses. "Thank you for all this, Nian Rong."

"Are you going to give her a big diamond ring?" An Xiaorong frowned. "These words sound comforting, but they don't have much real content."

An Nianrong kicked her sister lightly. "How do you talk to people? It's not polite. ”

An Xiaorong laughed. "I'm a simple person, and I can say whatever comes to mind. Even Chu Tianshu can't help me. ”

"How's your relationship?" An Nianrong asked with interest.

"It's okay, she said that I was the second most talented person she had ever met, and she was ambitious, so she liked me to death, and I thought she was an alternative among the 'women', daring to love and hate, and never hiding her opinions, so I liked her too." An Xiaorong smiled and rested her chin on her knee. "I'd even call her mom if I could."

"Second, talented? Who is the first gifted person in her eyes? An Nianrong asked curiously.

"She didn't say it, it was the only secret she wouldn't tell me." An Xiaorong tilted her head and sighed. "All I know is that the most gifted person is no longer playing the piano now, and that may be her lover or her dead husband. The only thing that was depressing with her was that she would compare me to him when she was upset and make me worthless. ”

An Nianrong frowned. "How could she treat you like this?"

This is her characteristic, which is a bit unreasonable, but this is also where her piano sound will be so *** surging. Actually, we were all about the same in terms of technique, and she didn't have much to teach me. An Xiaorong smiled and stuck out her tongue. But the same melody, she plays it is more content. ”

An Nianrong doesn't know much about music, she can't even call the name of the instrument, but she knows that music can make An Xiaorong happy, so she has always been very supportive of her sister's pursuit of music.

"If she has nothing to teach you, you might as well leave her. Her tuition fees are very expensive. "Chu Jiangnan 'interjected'." It is said that the real masters do not make money from performances, but teach students. ”

"I don't want to be like I used to be in the empty 'hole' and 'trick' and the sound of the piano is pale." An Xiaorong put her face on her knees, and she could see from her eyes that she was distressed. "But Chu Tianshu's piano sound is different, you can really feel life from it, maybe the people in the audience can't hear the difference, but I know the difference, so I must learn from her."

"Then we will have fewer chances to meet in the future, if An Jiaqing agrees with you to tour the world with her." An Nianrong also sat up from the 'bed'. "Have you thought about it?"

An Xiaorong nodded lightly.

"That's probably why I can't hear anything in the sound of the piano. Teacher Chu said, I have experienced too little. ”

An Nianrong beckoned An Xiaorong to lie beside her. When An Xiaorong was a child, she would look for comfort whenever she felt depressed, even though An Nianrong was only a few years older than her. An Nianrong can understand her feelings, no matter what a person is engaged in, it is a very painful feeling when the level reaches the "bottleneck" and cannot break through, and it is even more painful for a sensitive 'girl' like An Xiaorong.

Chu Jiangnan stood up with interest.

"Today I went back to the hotel to sleep. You two sisters have a good talk, Xiao Rong, don't make your sister angry. ”

An Xiaorong grimaced at him, then hugged her sister's neck tightly and closed her eyes in satisfaction.

An Nianrong gently pushed her away, and then slowly got out of bed, and Chu Jiangnan hurriedly came over to support her.

"What are you going to do? Is there anything I can't do? ”

"There are so many rooms here, why do you want to go back to the hotel?" An Nianrong glanced at him with disgust. "But you can only use my things, and tomorrow I will accompany you to buy some daily necessities, so that you can stay with me when you come back. I'll spare you a big cupboard, enough for you. ”

Chu Jiangnan impulsively 'kissed' her cheek, and then whispered in her ear:

"I don't dare to ask for ears."

An Nianrong slapped him gently, and her face flushed slightly. "Stop dragging the text."

When Chu Jiangnan went to another room to make his 'bed', An Nianrong began to tidy up his cabinet. An Xiaorong was lying on the 'bed', her fingers still pressing the non-existent keys, quietly immersed in her own music world. Her fingers jumped in the air, like white 'colored' silk flying, and there was a faint 'jade' and 'color' in the light.

An Nianrong looked at her sister who was complacent, and then packed up her things.

At the bottom of the cabinet, she found a pair of men's denim 'pants' and a plaid shirt, which Luo Men' had changed into when he was in Hong Kong, and I don't know which clothes were sent to be washed and left behind. When she saw these clothes, she suddenly remembered Luo 'Men' who was sweating on the court, remembered his stretch and grace flying in the air, and remembered his slightly contemptuous eyes, which was because of the confidence and arrogance of her opponent after watching the fire. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to distinguish between these two emotions on Luo Men's face, because most of the time he is as elusive as Furui Bu'bo, and on the court that day, when he completed that windmill slam dunk, he showed himself once.

He hasn't been in contact with anyone since the breakup in Iraq. An Nianrong suddenly thought, did he already encounter some danger? As soon as she returned, she had to deal with the affairs of the secret command center and office that were still under construction, and she didn't even notice that Luo 'Men' had not been in direct contact with her for seven or eight days.

The phone rang suddenly, and An Nianrong, who was in deep thought, was startled.

The call was from Wei Han, who had been promoted to the director of the Fifth Division of the Second Department of the General Staff, and he informed An Nianrong that the task of the "European Star Plan" had been successfully completed, and according to the predetermined plan, the contact person and relevant materials had been brought back to China and would be dealt with immediately.

"I wasn't notified of this top-secret operation in advance, what do you want me to deal with?" An Nianrong was slightly dissatisfied.

The "European Star Project" is still top secret, but according to the agreement reached between Xu Chenglong and An Nianrong, this level of mission will first pass through An Nianrong before it will be reported to the Ministry of Security, which is also the original intention of setting up An Nianrong's office, but although the Ministry of Security has sent its own agents to participate in the investigation, there is no official or 'private' information to inform her.

"The new deputy director is already considering whether to continue to cooperate with you, but the password to crack the hard drive is in your hands, so I think you can use this to re-coordinate the relationship between the two departments with Mo Xinwei." Wei Han said unhurriedly. "Our cooperation has always been very pleasant, as I personally, I don't want Zhong Qianmo and Mr. Xu's efforts to be in vain."

"Mo Xinwei has just taken over the work of the second department, and everything has not yet entered the orbit, why rush to lower the level of cooperation between us?"

An Nianrong became vigilant. Mo Xinwei is from the third department, is a practical academic figure, his style has always been known for his efficiency and iron fist, he has not invited An Nianrong to meet in daily work like his predecessor since he took office, which has made An Nianrong feel a cold taste. According to her understanding, Mo Xinwei does not have a special liking for herself, and his fact that he is a student of Li Tianying also shows that he has a strong background.

"I'm afraid only the members of the team know what the specific decision is, but I have an unofficial source who said that Mo Xinwei and Comrade Li Tianying have met several times, and I think this may be the meaning of the party committee." Wei Han's voice sounded a little vain, and this was because he used a secure line that would not be eavesdropped. "I mean, you have to be mentally prepared for what's next."

Wei Han hung up the phone.

An Nianrong knew that he didn't make this call on a whim. Wei Han is a loyal follower of Zhong Qianmo and Xu Chenglong, and his role now is to provide An Nianrong with first-hand information to deal with possible resistance. "Oracle" is quietly 'lustful' activities, all signs show that after 'forced' Xu Chenglong to abdicate, "Oracle" is 'forced' step by step, "European Star Project" may be the last way for her to establish a new relationship with Mo Xinwei now, it is not easy to win Mo Xinwei's trust, and An Nianrong doesn't know if he is worthy of her trust.

If the "European Star Project" has been completed, then why hasn't Romen come back?

Chu Jiangnan pushed open the 'door' of the room, and An Nianrong hurriedly stuffed the clothes in her hand into her cabinet. Now she didn't have the heart to explain where the men's clothes in her closet came from, there was no need to explain these things. Regarding the content of her work, the less Chu Jiangnan knew, the less troubled she was, and the less interference she had.

She also didn't have time to recuperate, and Wei Han's reminder might have been careless, but the more this happened, the more An Nianrong knew how difficult the situation she was facing.

She needs help.
