Chapter 163: A Promise

"It's not urgent, it mainly needs actual combat exercises." Zhao Liangze calmly diverted Gu Nianzhi's attention, "For example, I told you just now that your senior brother Huang didn't look right in your eyes, next time you see him, you can take care of him." Study his eyes and compare them with other people's eyes."

From a deep perspective, this thing can be said to be in the category of psychology, and there are a lot of writings.

But to put it simply, it is a self-taught skill for many people. They learn to look at other people's eyebrows when they are young, and they can get along better in society when they grow up.

This kind of skill is called street-smart in the West, and it is often a skill that elites with high IQs and good backgrounds do not possess.

"What's the point of this!" Gu Nianzhi was dissatisfied, "There is no quantification, no scale, how to measure it?!"

"That's why I said that this knowledge is more challenging, do you dare to learn it?" Zhao Liangze straightened up, with a big smile on his face, "Okay, I'm going back to my room, what do you want for dinner? Let's order takeaway ?”

Gu Nianzhi stared at Zhao Liangze for a while, feeling that his words were hard to distinguish between true and false, and didn't know whether to believe him or not.

In the evening, after the two of them had dinner, Gu Nianzhi took a shower after cleaning up the room.

When he came out, he saw Huo Shaoheng's missed call on his phone, so he hurriedly dialed it back.

"...Uncle Huo?" Gu Nianzhi hastily explained as soon as the connection was made, "We just moved in today, and we just took a shower after packing up, so we didn't hear anything in the bathroom."

Huo Shaoheng wore earphones, browsed the ocean satellite map on the computer, and said indifferently: "Well, it's okay, just make a phone call to ask, are you still comfortable?"

"It's okay, but it's hotter than Boston." Gu Nianzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Maybe my air conditioner is turned down, so turn it up a bit."

"Don't be greedy." Huo Shaoheng's eyes were attracted by an abnormal ocean satellite map on the computer at this moment, and he planned to hang up the phone after a few words, "Be careful when doing things in the Congress, and I'll hang up if I have nothing to do. "

Gu Nianzhi hurriedly said, "Hey! Don't hang up!"

"Is there anything else?" Huo Shaoheng's mouse kept moving on the map, and a series of data appeared, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Gu Nianzhi immediately remembered what Zhao Liangze said to her just now, and immediately relayed it verbatim to Huo Shaoheng: "...Uncle Huo, I heard that you have learned how to judge the other party's true intentions, how to deal with the other party's teasing, and how to judge the other party's sincerity. It's still a lie, and, when performing tasks, how to convince the other party that you didn't lie to her...is it true? I want to learn too..."

Huo Shaoheng was startled, and focused on the earphone, "What did you say? Say it again?"

Gu Nianzhi said it again, and emphasized: "I want to learn, and I feel that I am particularly lacking in this aspect."

Huo Shaoheng's face sank like water, and he flatly denied it: "Who did you listen to? We are a regular army, how could we learn such nonsense."

Although these things are indeed compulsory courses for members of the Special Operations Department, Huo Shaoheng thinks that Gu Nianzhi does not need to know, because she is not a member of the Special Operations Department, and telling her these contents is a leak.

"Ah? Sure enough, Brother Xiaoze lied to me." Gu Nianzhi let out a long breath, and his whole body relaxed, "I heard him say so mysteriously, I was really taken by him, and I thought I was really so I don’t know much about world affairs. He keeps telling me to be smart, isn’t that calling me short-sighted? Am I that stupid?”

She involuntarily brought out a coquettish tone.

Huo Shaoheng's lips curled up slightly, he slid his finger on the mouse, found the program to contact Zhao Liangze on the computer, tapped it lightly, opened the connection, and said lightly to Gu Nianzhi's voice: "Don't listen to Ozawa's nonsense. You have too many things in mind, why? Will you be short-sighted?"

Gu Nianzhi: "..."

After a while, she asked weakly: "Uncle Huo, you have a lot of eyes, doesn't it seem like it's a compliment?"

From Gu Nianzhi's own point of view, she is a beautiful girl who is smart and cute (*^▽^*).

But it seems that others don't see it that way ←_←.

"You don't have enough brains to pass me so many T-shirts under my nose?" Huo Shaoheng smiled half a smile, and the image of Gu Nianzhi wearing his black T-shirt as pajamas appeared in his mind.

Gu Nianzhi was so ashamed that he couldn't speak for a while, muttered for a while, but still mustered up the courage to say: "...Don't forget to promise to give me some more black T-shirts." After speaking, he hung up the phone in a panic. Unable to bear it, he fell on his back on the bed, rolled over while hugging his little panda pillow, and rolled to the other side of the bed.

For some reason, every time she finished talking with Huo Shaoheng on the phone, her mood would fluctuate, sometimes she would be extremely sad, sometimes she would be happy to death, and sometimes she would burst out laughing, it was enough...

Zhao Liangze's side is in dire straits.

He never expected that Gu Nianzhi would turn around and tell Huo Shaoheng exactly what he said, and even go to him to verify it!

Isn't this short-sighted? !

Zhao Liangze swears that if he mentions Gu Nianzhi any more, he will chop his hands off! (←_←Hand said, it's none of my business...)

"Young Master Huo, Young Master Huo, then I have special circumstances, and I didn't intend to leak the secret..." Zhao Liangze explained with sweat profusely.

"You'd better have a reasonable reason, and I can give you a 'not an example'." Huo Shaoheng said unhurriedly, enlarged the ocean satellite map on the computer, and copied the data by the way.

Zhao Liangze had no choice but to sell Senior Brother Huang, "It's like this, Senior Brother Nianzhi looks at Nianzhi too much, I just remind Nianzhi to keep a distance from that person. She won't listen to me Yes, I just told her about some of the courses we took in the Special Operations Division. Huo Shao, I only said a little about the subject of the course, but I didn't tell her the content of the course. If you don't believe me, you can ask her right away. "

Huo Shaoheng believed that Zhao Liangze was not so bold as to tell others about the Special Operations Division without his permission.

"Well, this reason is so-so." Huo Shaoheng temporarily let Zhao Liangze go, "But I think you are quite free, free enough to be a little girl's bosom sister. I will give you some work." A newly downloaded ocean satellite map data was sent to Zhao Liangze, "This is the ocean map of the Gulf of Aden, including the direction of ocean currents, weather changes, and magnetic field conditions. Please analyze it. Are you familiar with it?"

"Who knows the big sister?! I am the big brother who knows! Big brother!" Zhao Liangze retorted angrily, but when he saw the information sent by Huo Shaoheng, his face became serious: "No problem, I will do a database analysis right away."

...

The next day, Gu Nianzhi and Brother Huang came to the US Capitol Hill to meet He Zhichu and Wen Shouyi who were waiting there.

"Assistant Wen, are you back?" Senior Brother Huang greeted her very enthusiastically, "Is your family all right? Didn't you rest for a few more days?"

Because of Gu Nianzhi's conversation with Zhao Liangze last night, even though she was scolded by Huo Shaoheng later, Zhao Liangze's words still inevitably left an impression in her mind.

She carefully observed Brother Huang's words and deeds, and found that he was really able to get close to others.

This natural acquaintance is actually very important for a lawyer. Not only can he quickly win the favor and trust of the client, but also have more opportunities to pry the witness's mouth open when looking for evidence and get more information. Much evidence.

This has to be learned...

Gu Nianzhi stood beside him without saying a word, watching Senior Brother Huang talking with others with a smile, and his beautiful eyes never left him.

Brother Huang only felt that today's little junior sister was particularly eager to learn, and he always looked at him adoringly, and couldn't help but follow suit.

He Zhichu frowned, not understanding what is so interesting about Senior Brother Huang...

With a cold face, he turned and walked up the steps of Capitol Hill, "Xiao Huang followed Assistant Professor Wen to the Congressional Ocean Freedom Committee for an internship, and I took Nianzhi to the Congressional Appropriations Committee for an internship."

Brother Huang's research direction is the law of the sea and the Atmospheric Convention, and the Freedom of Passage to the Seas Committee at the Congress can be regarded as a counterpart.

But when Gu Nianzhi went to the Appropriations Committee of the Congress, he had no direction at all.

Over there, more financial knowledge is needed, and the relationship with the law is farther away.

However, Gu Nianzhi hasn't determined her main direction of attack yet, so she doesn't care where she goes.

Wen Shouyi saw that He Zhichu had gone far away, so he urged Gu Nianzhi: "Little Gu, Professor He has already gone up, why don't you go?" He also reminded her: "Professor He managed to get you this position through intercession. Yes. Although it is only for bookkeeping and has no real power, you can still observe the operation of the US Congress from it. You have to be careful, so as not to embarrass Professor He."

The Appropriations Committee of the Congress does not have real power, and is not really in charge of appropriations.

It is an agency that is responsible for bookkeeping after the Congress voted to approve the appropriation. In simple terms, it is some bookkeepers, not even accountants.

A very irrelevant department indeed.

And after everything is digitized, they don't even need to keep accounts manually. They just press a few buttons for pass, agree, and upload on the computer every day.

So there is a problem with Gu Nianzhi's background check, but people with strong background connections are usually stuffed into this kind of department that is too idle to grow mushrooms.

It is conceivable that what has been waiting for Gu Nianzhi in the past six months is to buy coffee and lunch for others every day, and also to be a copyist's errand girl.

Brother Huang had also supplemented his knowledge about various congressional committees, so he naturally knew the inside story of this appropriations committee. He gave her a sympathetic look, and followed Wen Shouyi to report to the Congressional Freedom of Passage Committee.

Gu Nianzhi found that she really had a prejudice against Wen Shouyi. No matter what she said, whether it was good or bad, she felt that Wen Shouyi had unwarranted hostility towards her, and it couldn't be better.

But she wasn't angry. She squinted at Wen Shouyi's back for a while, laughed twice, and then turned her head and walked up the steps.

He Zhichu put his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, and stood at the top of the steps waiting for her.

He was wearing a light-colored three-piece suit in light wool, a light-blue tie, and a shell-colored no-iron shirt that was very crisp.

Among the group of fat-headed U.S. congressmen who came and went in and out of the Capitol Hill, He Zhichu was tall and tall, like a clear stream, forgetting the world when he saw it.

When Gu Nianzhi saw He Zhichu's outfit, the displeasure he felt because of Wen Shouyi just now disappeared.

"Professor He is really in the wind today." Gu Nianzhi praised him with a smile, and walked into the direction of the Capitol Appropriations Committee with him.

He Zhichu's cold expression warmed up slightly, although his voice was still clear: "Are you still used to living there? It's a serviced apartment over there, and someone cleans it every day."

Gu Nianzhi nodded and said with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Professor He, the place to live is very good, the furniture is complete, and the service attitude is also very good."

"The monthly rent is close to 8,000 U.S. dollars. It's not good and it can't be justified." He Zhichu led her to the door of the Appropriation Committee, and stretched out his hand to straighten the small bow on the neckline of Gu Nianzhi's pink and purple suit. "Go in. Everyone thinks this is the place. It's the most insignificant place in Congress, but I think it's only a no-brainer who thinks that way."

"Ah? Really?" Gu Nianzhi became interested, and she liked this kind of challenge the most, finding the most extraordinary clues from the most ordinary affairs.

"Well, it depends on how smart you are. If you are smart enough, you will find that this is the place that is really in charge of the entire Capitol." He Zhichu said meaningfully, "If you can find the clues, I will A big eighteenth birthday present for you."

Gu Nianzhi stretched out his palm high, his eyes were as dark as the best black crystals, "It's a deal!"

He Zhichu stared at her, and saw his own reflection in her jumping eyes, tall and imposing, but his face was unusually stern.

He smiled slightly, hung a nameplate around her neck, reached out to stroke her head, and turned to leave.

Gu Nianzhi stepped into the gate of the Appropriation Committee alone, and said to the smiling old lady in white, "I'm Gu Nianzhi, an intern." She pointed to her nameplate.

The plate has her picture, her name and phone number, where she works, and a barcode.

Relying on this nameplate, she can come and go freely in Capitol Hill.

The old white lady felt happy when she saw a beautiful oriental girl like Gu Nianzhi, she stretched out her arms and gave her a big hug, "Gu, you're finally here. I'm Mary, come, I'll take you to your office. "

Gu Nianzhi was surprised: "I have my own office?!"

She thought she was going to sit in the lobby...

"Of course. We have a lot of vacant offices here because no one wants to come..." Mary winked at her.

The two laughed together.

...

In the next few days, both Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze were extremely busy.

Although the two lived in the same suite, they seldom met each other.

Gu Nianzhi's breakfast and lunch are served in Capitol Hill, and He Zhichu or Wen Shouyi usually take her and Senior Brother Huang to dinner for dinner.

Gu Nian didn't understand how Zhao Liangze's three meals a day were resolved until a week later.

"You eat pizza every day?!" Gu Nianzhi looked at the pizza boxes piled high in Zhao Liangze's room in surprise, while covering his nose with his hands: "I see you smell like onions and cheese already!"

She hates onions, but pizza often has onions in it.

Zhao Liangze has been calculating the data sent to him by Huo Shaoheng almost non-stop for the past few days, and today the calculation is almost done.

Turning around to see Gu Nianzhi coming in, Zhao Liangze waved at her, "Little prodigy, come over and take a look at this set of data, what do you think?"
