Chapter 1713: Want Some Peace and Quiet
“Great! This is my first new year’s gift from Dad!” Gu Nianzhi clapped her hands and smiled, a childlike innocence in her smile.
Lu Jin looked at her in a daze and smiled as well.
He didn’t look like his original appearance at all, but when he smiled, he looked very much like Gu Nianzhi.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the father and daughter without batting an eyelid and didn’t say anything for the time being.
He understood Gu Nianzhi’s intentions.
Today was the first day of the New Year, and she didn’t want to push Lu Jin too hard.
Let them have a real reunion for the New Year..
Huo Shaoheng thought to himself and stood up. “I’ll go to the kitchen and help President Lu make lunch.”
Lu Jin wasn’t as affectionate towards him. His eyelids drooped and he grunted, “Remember to remind Boss Lu that my girl wants to eat San Xian fried rice.”.
Huo Shaoheng: “…”
Gu Nianzhi held back her laughter and quickly said, “Dad, hurry up and get the gift! I’m waiting to see it!”
Lu Jin looked away and smiled. “I’ll get it right away!”
He rushed back to his apartment and saved the large amount of internal information he had downloaded from the Qin private hospital group’s intranet into a carefully encrypted file.
He took a few more legal documents and rushed back to Gu Nianzhi’s apartment.
Gu Nianzhi was sitting alone on the sofa, staring intently at the yellowed lab notes.
Although she was reading them carefully, she did not understand them at all.
She knew nothing about genetic engineering, and was even more confused than high-energy physics.
Lu Jin coughed lightly. “Nianzhi?”
Gu Nianzhi looked up. “Dad, you brought it here so quickly?”
Lu Jin nodded and sat next to her shyly. He handed her the soft drive first, he said, “This is all the information I have on the Qin private group’s internal network. From the clients, suppliers, patient lists, and internal corporate structure, all the financial statements over the years are in there.”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes lit up. “AH? You really got it all? ! Dad, you are amazing! You actually managed to hack into the internal secured network of the Qin’s private group!”
Actually, if Gu Nianzhi had a supercomputer system, with time, she could hack into it too.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have one, so it wasn’t something she could just hack into it with just time on her side.
Lu Jin was different. His studio had a computer system that was comparable to the central server room of the Huaxia Empire, so he could break the internal network password of the Qin’s private group in a short time.
Lu Jin smiled happily. “Unless they have content that they haven’t posted online, all the content online is with me.”
Gu Nianzhi hugged Lu Jin’s neck and kissed him. “Thank you, Daddy! This is the best spring festival present ever!”
Lu Jin quickly said, “There’s more.” As he spoke, he placed the legal documents in front of Gu Nianzhi. “Come, sign your name. Everything I have is yours.”
He had originally wanted to leave these documents with his will. When he was no longer in this world, Gu Nianzhi would automatically receive his inheritance.
However, he had been discovered by Gu Nianzhi and Peter this time. It would be difficult for him to escape in the future, so he might as well give all his assets to Gu Nianzhi first.
Gu Nianzhi looked down at the names of the documents and was shocked.
“Dad, what kind of company is this?!”
“It’s an offshore company in the Cayman Islands.” Lu Jin put on an enigmatic look, “These offshore companies hold the ownership of all my assets, including but not limited to the Lu Group’s shares, bank deposits, investment funds, and stocks, as well as my collection of antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, as well as the patent trust fund under Gu Xiangwen’s name.”
Gu Nianzhi seemed to be familiar with these things.
In the other world, when she was chasing after Gu Yanran’s squandered Gu family assets, it seemed to be the same structure..
It was indeed the counterpart of the parallel world.
Gu Nianzhi was amazed.
Lu Jin flipped through the legal documents and pointed to the place where he wanted to sign. “This is it. Sign your name. You are also one of the owners of these offshore companies.”
“The ownership structure of offshore companies is more complicated. The shareholding structure I designed doesn’t need to be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission of every country, so don’t worry. No one will know that I transferred my assets to you.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at the astronomical sum of assets and was very nervous. She quickly said, “Dad, you don’t have to be like this. I’m already very happy that you gave me a red envelope. You suddenly transferred half of your assets to me. I’m timid. Please don’t scare me…”
Lu Jin said disapprovingly, “You should be scared when I transfer all of my property to you. Now that I’ve only transferred half of my property, what are you scared of? I still have half… actually, for me, as long as I have enough money for my research, I’ll be fine. I’ll just keep the extra money. You can use it to buy something that you like…”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
This money was more than enough to buy all the brands she liked. Even if she choose to buy over the brands she likes, there is still excess to last a few lifetimes.
But why did she need these things?
Previously, she had been struggling for the down payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but now she was suddenly a major shareholder in a real estate company..
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and caressed the legal documents, thinking that what she wanted most was to return to the other side of the world.
No matter how much money she had, would she be able to return to the other side?
Lu Jin looked at Gu Nianzhi eagerly. He thought she would be even happier, but she didn’t seem too happy.
Gu Nianzhi looked up and saw the look in Lu Jin’s eyes. She smiled, “Dad, I’ll leave these with you. I’m not familiar with the ownership structure, and I have an important lawsuit to attend to. I don’t have time to take care of these assets.”
Lu Jin was a little disappointed. “It’s just a signature…”
“Yeah, it’s just a signature anyway. What’s the difference between signing and not signing?” Gu Nianzhi stuffed the legal documents back into Lu Jin’s hands. “Just help me take care of these companies. When I’m free, I’ll see how rich my dad is!”
As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she wrapped her arms around Lu Jin’s neck and kissed him on the cheek.
Lu Jin’s heart finally relaxed, but before he could let it go fully, he said gloomily,”… Are you sure you don’t want to sign it? Can’t we hold the shares together after signing it?”
“I’m your only daughter anyway. Why are you in such a hurry? Between us, father and daughter, who holds different views?” Gu Nianzhi said with a half-smile, “Or did you have a child with another woman, Father? If you have a son, then I have to sign it right away.”
Gu Nianzhi clasped her hands together and shook her wrists. She looked like she was threatening, but she was still very cute, like a little kitten that had an “I’m super fierce” expression on its face.
Lu Jin’s heart almost melted. He rubbed Gu Nianzhi’s head and said repeatedly, “Okay, okay, okay. It doesn’t matter if you don’t sign it.”
Annoyed, he said, “How can I have a son? You’re the only child in my life. Why would I want a son? I hate boys the most. I hate other people’s sons too, because they’ll trick my precious daughter away!”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
She quickly perked up and expressed to Lu Jin that she would not be swindled away.
Seeing Lu Jin’s nervous expression, Gu Nianzhi deliberately changed the topic. She tugged at him and asked, “Dad, this experiment design of yours looks amazing, but I don’t understand it at all…”
“You don’t understand? Come, let me explain it to you!”
Speaking of one of his specialties, Lu Jin got excited. He rolled up his sleeves and turned on Gu Nianzhi’s computer. “It’s like this…”
He explained it to Gu Nianzhi in pictures and text, but Gu Nianzhi was still as confused as ever.
However, she still managed an expression to show that she was “listening.”
The two of them talked for a while before Lu Yuan finally finished making lunch.
He placed Gu Nianzhi’s favorite San Xian fried rice in front of her and said with a smile, “Eating only San Xian fried rice on the first day of the New Year. Nianzhi, you’re so easy to feed.”
Gu Nianzhi blinked. “Of course. President Lu’s San Xian fried rice is really delicious.”
She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. She felt that it was even more delicious than what Lu Yuan had cooked before, she couldn’t help laughing. “It’s so familiar! President Lu, where did you learn to eat this three-dish fried rice? It’s almost exactly the same as what I’ve eaten before!”
“Is that so?” Lu Yuan said calmly. “Then you can ask Peter.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
She looked suspiciously at Huo Shaoheng and then at Lu Yuan. “What does it have to do with Mr. Peter?”
“Peter is a culinary genius.” Lu Yuan said indifferently. “I taught him how to cook this three-dish fried rice. It’s said that it’s his first time cooking and he can already cook to this level. Isn’t he a genius?”
So it was Huo Shaoheng who cooked this time. No wonder..
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips into a smile and gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up. “Mr. Peter is indeed the KGB. He even learned how to cook so quickly!” The Committee of State Security (KGB) was the most powerful organization in the KGB
Lu Yuan’s eyelids twitched. He finally realized that Gu Nianzhi had long since seen through Huo Shaoheng’s true identity.
Otherwise, Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t have been so calm as to cover for him with such an obvious flaw.
Lu Yuan was embarrassed when he thought about how he had said that the person in the painting was his counterpart.
No one had known about his feelings for Song Jinning when he was there.
Lu Jin, with his extremely low EQ, had no idea that he had such thoughts.
Now, Huo Shaoheng wasn’t the only one who understood. Even Gu Nianzhi knew about it.
Lu Yuan wanted some peace and quiet.
Therefore, during lunch, only Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were talking animatedly, making the atmosphere very lively.
Huo Shaoheng interjected occasionally, while Lu Yuan maintained his smile.
After eating, he said to Lu Jin, “Boss Lu, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”
His expression was calm and peaceful, but Lu Jin knew that Lu Yuan was going to ask about last night.
Although he was a little uneasy, he remembered that Gu Nianzhi and Peter already knew about it. He could say it again, so he got up and followed Lu Yuan out.
Gu Nianzhi had something to discuss with Huo Shaoheng, so she didn’t continue to joke around with Lu Yuan. She watched them leave.
After Lu Yuan and Lu Jin left, Gu Nianzhi said to Huo Shaoheng, “My father just showed me the contents of his experiment design. Although I couldn’t understand it fully, I could still tell that it was an advanced and powerful experiment design. But I still couldn’t understand it. My father is such a smart and cautious person. Why would he casually leave such a high-level experiment design on his desk in the laboratory without taking any security precaution?”
