Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

Gao Mandong stood in front of Shenglang Building, breathing the long-lost air of freedom.

It was during working hours, and employees passing by looked sideways and secretly sized up the strange girl who was looking up at the building.

"This beauty has such long legs."

"Is this a new employee?"

"It doesn't look like that. The clothes don't look like they're for work."

Gao Mandong took a look at the clothes she was wearing. It was a high-end mini dress from a luxury brand that Nanzhao had given her to wear. The white dress was embellished with pearls and small flowers made of white tulle.

It's intricate, exquisite and beautiful, and it's also very convenient for hiding other things.

Gao Mandong served the tiger last night and took advantage of Nanzhao's good mood and patience to ask him many questions.

"Why choose me? One of your students has been Ji Shumiao's friend for many years. Wouldn't it be more convenient to use her?"

Nan Zhao half-raised his body, twisted his index finger around a strand of her hair, and said slowly: "I don't like to use stupid people."

Using Gao Mandong to do this can completely cut off her retreat, and she will have no choice but to follow me.

"Then I'll take it as a compliment." Gao Mandong smiled, "But Ji Shumiao and I are not really familiar with each other, she won't believe me."

"Threaten her with Ji Shulang."

Gao Mandong was horrified: "What did you do to him?"

"It's just to make him lose contact temporarily." Nan Zhao pulled the hair in his hand, "Do you care about him a lot?"

Gao Mandong felt a pain on his scalp and pushed him away angrily: "It hurts!"

Nan Zhao was not angry either, and gently rubbed her scalp: "Don't play tricks, understand? Otherwise, the consequences are not what you want to see."

Gao Mandong rolled his eyes in annoyance: "You keep asking me to go with you without giving me any guarantee. Who knows if you are going to sell me out?"

"How can I bear to do that?" Nanzhao pinched her chin, "Besides, I'm not short of money."

"Are you rich?" Gao Mandong became interested.

Nan Zhao smiled faintly: "Wealthy enough to rival a country."

"How rich?"

"Enough for you to skip pigeon egg-sized gems on the water every day for the rest of your life until your hands cramp."

"Oh, who knows if the rest of my life is just a few minutes or a few seconds? You're going to kill me if you're unhappy." Gao Mandong curled his lips, "Besides, men become bad when they have money. It's high risk and low reward to follow you anyway."

"Only despicable humans would be unfaithful to their partners."

Gao Mandong's confusion became an emoticon: "Human? It's fine if you're not Chinese, but you're not even a human?"

"I can be of any nationality as long as you like." Nanzhao said evasively.

Gao Mandong asked again: "Then what do you want to do? Why do you want to take Ji Shumiao away?"

"We will create the end of the world, eliminate inferior humans, and create a brand new world. But Ji Shumiao knows something that will ruin our plan." Nan Zhao started to play with her hair again, "You don't like this world either, right?"

Oh my god.

Gao Mandong confessed: "Your speech sounds like a psychopath!"

Nan Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Maybe the lunatics are the normal people? Don't you want to see a world ruled by lunatics?"

"It should be quite interesting. After all, I am barely a lunatic."

Nan Zhao looked at her with approval in his eyes: "If you listen to me, everything I have will be yours."

"One last thing." Gao Mandong turned over and sat on him, "Don't scare me with things like 'human pig' again. My long legs look best when they are wrapped around your waist."

……

"I would rather die than let my friend die." Gao Mandong muttered to himself and strode into the building.

The saying "respect the clothes first and then the person" is useful everywhere. After the front desk learned that she was looking for Ji Shumiao, they immediately called the president's office. Soon, Gao Mandong was invited to the special elevator for the company's senior executives.

Ji Shumiao was listening to the news that Sui Xixi had inquired about: "Du Zixi's father has been corrupt and accepting bribes over the years. Her mother has no job and her consumption level far exceeds her father's income. Du Zixi's piano lessons every year are also a considerable expense. Their family has been pretending to be a subsidy from Du Zixi's mother's family. Du Zixi's father wins small prizes from time to time."

Ji Shumiao recalled that when she was in primary school, she often heard Du Zixi talk about her father's "good luck". Ji Shumiao even went home and told her parents about it - after she was reborn, she bought lottery tickets and lied about Du Zixi's father.

After that secret meeting, the higher-ups had been constantly taking action, fighting both "flies" and "tigers" together, determined to wipe out the command center before the war came - Du Zixi's father couldn't be said to have suffered an unprovoked disaster, after all, he was the one who did it.

Seeing that she hadn't said anything, Sui Xixi couldn't help but remind her, "Don't be foolish and get involved."

"I can carry it clearly."

Sui Xixi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, our company has no business dealings with their unit, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain myself even if I had a mouth full of words."

After Sui Xixi left, Gao Mandong pushed the door open and said, "Can you contact your brother? Huanhuan didn't reply to my message all day yesterday."

Ji Shumiao raised his eyes and looked at her: "But you don't look very anxious."

"What's the point of getting anxious? Why don't you try calling your brother and see if you can get through?" Gao Mandong gently took the notebook off her desk and wrote a sentence on it with a pen:

If you want Ji Shulang to be safe, come to my rental house alone at 7 o'clock tonight.

Ji Shumiao's gaze moved from the notebook to her face. Gao Mandong looked fearlessly calm.

Regardless of what time it was in Philadelphia, Ji Shumiao took out his cell phone and called Ji Shulang, but the number kept disappearing, and the call was always out of service area.

"Hurry up and find him. Ask his school." Gao Mandong put down his notebook, tapped the line of words with his index finger, and said with a hint of meaning: "I'll ask Huanhuan's school too. It's better not to tell her parents for now, so as to avoid a false alarm that will make everyone uneasy."

Ji Shumiao's face showed no emotion: "Leave me your phone number, I'll contact you if I have any news."

Gao Mandong wrote down his phone number again: "Okay, I'm leaving first."

Just as Ji Shumiao closed his notebook, Yin Xiao and Yin Lang came out of the lounge: "Are you okay?"

"That's right. Maybe his phone was stolen again." Ji Shumiao picked up his phone and sent a message to someone unknown.

Seeing that she didn't seem anxious at all, Yin Xiao felt relieved and didn't ask any more questions.

As soon as Gao Mandong got into the car, Nan Zhao came up to her and hugged her tightly.

The phone rang, and I received a text message from Ji Shumiao: [What do you want to do? ]

Gao Mandong replied: [If I were to trade you for your brother, you wouldn’t want him to get into trouble, right?]

Ji Shumiao: [Who asked you to come?]

Gao Mandong: [See you tonight at 7 o'clock.]

Nan Zhao chuckled and took the phone from Gao Mandong's hand: "Don't bother with it anymore."

"Are you sure she will come?"

"Can you have a little faith in me? I just want to see into people's hearts." Nan Zhao was helpless. "Family means more to Ji Shumiao than his own life."

"Okay." Gao Mandong sighed, "Let's go. I want to take some things from the rental house with me."
