For Mrs. Jia, those who have advanced to the highest level only thirty or forty years ago are new to the highest level and are considered juniors.
But when Qu Jianlei heard the word "Garbage Star", he immediately reacted, "Kushnir?"
Mrs. Jia nodded, "It seems to be his name, it's too hard to remember... Do you know him?"
Qu Jianlei also nodded. There was no need for him to deny it at this time, "Is it normal to know something about the Supreme Being?"
When he was in the world of China, it was said that he had to memorize the hero's genealogy. He knew several of the highest names in the empire. Is that wrong?
Mrs. Jia really didn't doubt this. She spoke seriously, "The No. 2 Star government cannot handle the pressure from these two directions."
Qu Jianlei's expression changed twice, and finally he sighed, "Okay, thank you Granny Jia for letting me know."
What Mrs. Jia wanted to hear was not "Thank you". She asked in a deep voice, "What are your plans?"
What do I plan to do? Qu Jianlei looked at her thoughtfully, "Take it one step at a time. Granny Jia, what suggestions do you have?"
It's not that he's stubborn, it's that he can't think of any preventive measures other than acting according to the situation.
He cherishes his current life and doesn't want to give up just like that, but the three parties involved in this matter are not something he can shake.
Mrs. Jia asked bluntly, "You don't want to give up your current life, right?"
"That's right," Qu Jianlei nodded without hesitation, "The days of hiding in the library are really wonderful."
"I guessed it," Mrs. Jia didn't hide it. "In that case, I can help you with some ideas."
"Thank you very much," Qu Jianlei did not refuse. Obviously, the old lady came well prepared and could not just deliver a message.
However, he still emphasized one point, "Listen to your advice, what should I pay?"
Mrs. Jia waved her hand, "It's just a suggestion. What's the price? You answered my questions a few days ago and didn't ask for anything."
Isn't this bad? Qu Jianlei said weakly, "Grandma Jia, the free one is the most expensive... you'd better ask for the price."
"The free one is the most expensive?" Mrs. Jia thought about this and thought it made sense.
But she was still annoyed, "I already said I won't charge any fees! If you must be so open-minded, then forget it!"
Qu Jianlei smiled bitterly, "I really don't want to owe anyone a favor, and the same goes for you, Grandma Jia, right?"
"I didn't say you owed a favor," Mrs. Jia replied very simply, "it was you who thought too much."
"If you don't owe any favors..." Qu Jianlei nodded, "Grandma Jia, please tell me."
He had guessed some of the old lady's thoughts, but she emphasized that she was merciless and he would not remain unchanged.
Anyway, let’s hold on to the words for now. As for what to do in the future... it’s still a matter of taking it one step at a time.
Mrs. Jia didn't care, "I suggest you...go out for a while now."
Avoid it... This idea is definitely correct, but Qu Jianlei smiled helplessly, "Do you have any other suggestions?"
"It's inconvenient for you," Mrs. Jia knew very well, "and you don't want to get into trouble?"
Qu Jianlei replied helplessly, "I am naturally prone to trouble."
Mrs. Jia laughed when she heard this, "I am also in trouble... Outstanding people will always encounter all kinds of troubles."
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he gave a thumbs up, "Grandma Jia, what you said couldn't be more correct."
He was inspired by this. He had been told many times that he was being tricked into being a bad person. This was the first time he heard that it was because he was too outstanding.
Mrs. Jia laughed when she heard this, "So, how about I help you avoid it?"
Are you trying to trick me? This was the first reaction in Qu Jianlei's mind.
However, he felt that the old lady would not do things like this, "Would it be too difficult?
"Do you think it's difficult to design you?" The old lady rolled her eyes at him, "If you don't worry, you can continue to stay in the library."
Qu Jianlei really can't stand it
He won't fall for low-level provocations, but he won't tolerate misunderstandings among those who have helped him.
So he replied calmly, "The worst thing is that I can't read quietly. Grandma Jia, please make arrangements."
He only said that he would let the old lady make arrangements, but he did not say that he would definitely obey the arrangements.
"I won't arrange it for you," Mrs. Jia turned and walked away. "When someone contacts you, you can decide for yourself whether it's appropriate."
Is that so? Qu Jianlei shook his head. He knew what Grandma Jia was thinking - she just wanted to sell her favor.
It's not surprising at all that if there's a sale, there's a purchase. If the price is right, it's not that he can't accept it.
Anyway, there is no need to think so much now, the old lady is very wise, let’s see how she arranges it.
However, after receiving this warning, he felt a little uneasy when he went to work in the afternoon.
After the pressure from the military came down, it seemed that it would have to face more stringent scrutiny. But why did Kushnir want to find Black Sky? Qu Jianlei was a little confused.
Menninger's death did have something to do with him, but only Youyou knew the inside story.
He didn't believe that Youyou would betray him, and if Kushnir could really find Youyou, he would probably attack her directly.
Everyone in that starship can prove that Youyou was one of the main reasons for Menninger's suicide.
Qu Jianlei felt that no matter what, Kushnir had no excuse for himself.
But it is undeniable that if the other party really wants to anger me, it is indeed justified.
Just as he was thinking about how to face the coming pressure, a figure flashed at the door, and Zi Jiuxian walked in.
"Hello," she greeted Qu Jianlei, "I heard you plan to go out for a walk?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her doubtfully, then nodded, "You do have such a plan, what suggestions do you have?"
"I plan to go to Planet 4 recently," Zi Jiuxian said seriously, "sent by the academy..."
Star No. 4 is the newest inhabited star in the Hope Star Territory, and the academy there has not been established for a long time.
The other three planets in the same star field often send some college teachers to provide counterpart support.
Zi Jiuxian received a support mission this time, but the degree of freedom was relatively high and the time was more flexible.
She came to Qu Jianlei because the library of that college didn't take long to build.
The library doesn't offer application support, but it makes sense to bring a professional there.
Zi Jiuxian applied to the college. Anyway, as a professor, she could bring two assistants.
Qu Jianlei was a little dazed after hearing this. How could he still operate like this? "I'm not from your college."
Zi Jiuxian answered simply, "For professional talents, the college can hire them on a temporary basis."
So that's it... Qu Jianlei thought about it and then replied, "Thank you very much, but aren't you still working on the project?"
Zi Jiuxian hesitated and replied, "This does not affect me. The old dean has already expressed his support for me."
Qu Jianlei only saw her hesitation and reacted, "Isn't it a temporary application for support?"
Zi Jiuxian was startled for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Since you ask...my great-grandmother told me, and suggested that I go there now."
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he rolled his eyes helplessly. He really owed a favor now, "What do I need to pay?"
"It doesn't matter," Zi Jiu Xian replied easily, "I already had an aid mission, so I just adjusted the time."
However, Qu Jianlei is a serious person. He frowned and said, "The project will be affected to some extent, right?"
"The impact is not big," Zijiu Xian said honestly, "Don't worry so much."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei thought about it and agreed. Women are so straightforward, so he can't do it to his mother-in-law, right?
The next day, he went to Green Water College to apply for temporary employment.
The procedures were very convenient. He could just face Zi Jiuxian directly, and leave the matter of connecting with the college to the female professor.
It was all done before noon, and the efficiency was quite high.
After completing the procedures, Qu Jianlei can enjoy a professional talent subsidy of fifty silver dollars per day.
In addition, there is a daily travel expense of 30 yuan, which adds up to 80 yuan.
Thinking about the 400 he earned per month in the library, Qu Jianlei was a little speechless even though he didn't value money.
The next step was to go to the library to ask for leave. Qu Jianlei asked for two months' leave.
This holiday was a bit long and even alarmed the curator Kadani.
She knew that the other party was a reformed warrior, but she was still a little embarrassed, "If you do this, the library will have to recruit more people."
Qu Jianlei took out the temporary employment procedure from Lushui College and handed it over silently.
The curator was speechless after seeing the terms, "Okay, leave early and come back early."
The next morning, Qu Jianlei and Zi Jiuxian boarded the starship heading for the fourth star.
However, at this time, the inspections had become much stricter, and there was an additional checkpoint for outbound passenger flights.
Fortunately, Zi Jiuxian was on an assistance mission, so the two of them could take the fast track.
After boarding the starship, the two of them entered a two-person room, which was treated like a business class flight on Blue Star.
There were two life-saving cabins in the room. Before the starship set sail, Qu Jianlei stepped forward to play with it and pretended to be ready to enter.
At this moment, someone pushed the door open and came in, followed by a crisp female voice.
"Looks like you from a distance... I said, do you still need to go into the survival capsule?"
Qu Jianlei had already spotted this person just now and answered without raising his head, "Is it wrong to be prepared?"
The female voice spoke again, "Interstellar navigation is very safe unless you encounter large-scale star thieves."
Qu Jianlei couldn't help it, raised his head and looked at the other party, "Please, can we say something auspicious?"
The person opposite was none other than the supreme daughter Xiangxue, and she was still accompanied by the B-level female guard.
She blinked her big eyes and said doubtfully, "Unlucky? The military has been very aggressive in eradicating star thieves recently."
"Can we say something else?" Qu Jianlei really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Auntie, it doesn't matter if you talk nonsense, but I'm trying to trick you.
Xiangxue rolled her eyes and spoke thoughtfully, "Going to Star 4 at this time...you really have some problems."
Are you not done yet? Qu Jianlei snorted, "I'm on a rescue mission, but you...why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
