Chapter 724: A Pleasant Conversation Between an Old Man and a Young Woman (Extra Chapter 1)

~6 min read 1,016 words

"It's not that I'm saying it, but what does it mean to look like a Comrade?"

"If you ask me, this is the best kind of Comrade."

"Girl, I watched you go to Hong Kong City for the negotiations, and I think very highly of you!"

After Nie Lao finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, his gaze toward An Yinan filled with even more admiration.

But a Comrade with both ability and ideas is truly rare.

"Thank you for the praise, old Comrade, I will continue to work hard!" An Yinan smiled gently and then answered earnestly.

"Good, good, good, that's exactly how it should be." Nie Lao laughed again.

Several old men boarded the plane, and while the three people including An Yinan were originally arranged to take a car, Nie Lao insisted that An Yinan board the plane, so they followed him on.

"How did they agree to the conditions over there?" Nie Lao sat next to An Yinan; even though the roar of the plane was very loud, Nie Lao shouted at the top of his lungs, his curiosity completely undeterred.

An Yinan smiled; no wonder he insisted on her taking the plane.

"Because I have Qingnao Pills in my hands, and conditions they had to agree to." An Yinan replied loudly.

Yun Fei watched the old man and the young woman, who had quickly started chatting together; the two of them were getting along so well, as if they had met too late—what was going on?

On the other side, Zhang Qian and Chen Xun exchanged a glance, and then the two of them said nothing, remaining silent for the whole journey.

Upon arriving in Beijing, Nie Lao looked at Yun Fei, "When are you going to treat us to a meal? Take this old man along."

He wouldn't stand on ceremony with them; it wasn't easy for him to get out, so he would stay out as long as he could before going back.

It wasn't easy to run into a junior who was so compatible.

As for his own junior, hmph! It wasn't that he looked down on him, but that spineless wretch should just stop coming out and embarrassing himself!

"Right now!" Did Yun Fei dare to say anything else?

Nan Nan usually didn't make any requests, so since she was making one now, she must be harboring some retaliation, and besides, she had been feeling stifled these days, which was why she made the request.

In the past, his status as her eldest uncle could still suppress her, but now, even if he didn't suppress her, she would threaten to quit at the drop of a hat.

"Shall we go then?" Nie Lao smiled and looked at the expression of the Guard beside him, "I'm not going on my own; this is an invitation from Commander Yun, I have to give him some face."

The Guard looked at Nie Lao and stared speechlessly at the sky.

He would inevitably get scolded again when they returned, but he had been by Nie Lao's side for many years, and Nie Lao rarely had such high spirits.

"Old man, my medical skills are quite good, shall I take a look at you in a moment?" An Yinan leaned over to Nie Lao's side.

Looking at the old man who was always laughing, she thought his personality wasn't bad at all.

It was really hard to imagine that the red-faced man could actually be his son.

Offspring of a military family aren't necessarily all Huzi!

They might even mutate into a bear.

Nie Lao waved his hand dismissively, "No need. My old legs have been this way for many years; let Feng Lao and the others have a headache over it. You, you should just sleep and eat."

At his age, he had long since seen through things; no children or descendants were as important as the future of the country.

He was already old, and he hoped the country he had fought so hard to protect would be handed over to people like them, not people like his own son.

That would destroy Huaxia!

Beijing Hotel.

"Nan Nan, this is the medical record for Nie Lao's legs, take a look." Professor Feng had just gone back and brought over Nie Lao's medical records.

He had wanted Nan Nan to take a look before, but Nan Nan was getting busier and busier, and she hadn't spent many days in Beijing.

He couldn't even catch a glimpse of her, so naturally, he couldn't have her look at the records.

An Yinan took the medical records and looked at the entries, reading them page by page, flipping through them very quickly.

"There's a problem." An Yinan frowned.

"What problem?" Professor Feng didn't understand; he had been the one managing Nie Lao's health for all these years, so how had he not noticed any problem?

An Yinan turned to look at Nie Lao, who had just been talking to Chen Lao; feeling her gaze, he quickly turned back.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

He was of the same generation as her maternal grandfather, so calling her 'girl' was quite reasonable.

An Yinan asked with a smile, "May I perform a Pulse Reading? And then take a look at your legs?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Lao glared at Professor Feng, "Don't listen to their nonsense. My legs are an old ailment, and I've gotten used to it over the years. You're going to special training in a week, don't waste your time on my legs."

Nie Lao was anxious; his legs were just going to be that way no matter how they were treated.

But this child was leaving Huaxia in a week, and she was still worrying about his broken legs—what kind of situation was this!

An Yinan shook her head, "It's fine, my diagnosis is very fast. What if I have a way?"

She smiled gently; she had just washed her face and hands, and although she was still wearing those beggar-like clothes under everyone's gaze, she didn't care about other people's opinions.
