Part 2 Hello, Mr. Major General I'm Gu Nianzi

216. We can't live here!

Brother Huang hastily discouraged her, "Nianzhi, don't be so rash. She's Professor He's teaching assistant, you're the one to get the short end of the stick if you make things tense with her. We have to go with the flow"
Gu Nianzhi thought, so will Wen Shouyi let her off she sucked it up? --Of course not. So why did she have to suck it up? It didn't matter what she did, Wen Shouyi couldn't stand if she didn't take a jab or two at her. It was like she couldn't speak otherwise, what a shame.
"Brother Huang, don't be scared. I never bow down in face of force, wealth or poverty. I'm not afraid of any evil powers. If she gives you a hard time, tell me and I'll stand up for you!" She said with heroic righteousness. Brother Huang's lips twitched and could only lament that Gu Nianzhi was a newborn calf not yet afraid of a tiger. What bravery
Yin Shixiong chewed gum as he nodded at Brother Huang with a smile, "Brother Huang, please take care of Nianzhi from now on. She's young and doesn't know any better, if she wrongs you, tell me and I'll teach her a lesson."He said as he jokingly glared at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi looked down with a smile, not afraid at the slightest. The three of them joked as they entered the apartment elevator. Wen Shouyi rented apartments for them on the fifth floor, one on each end of the hallway. Although it was only two bedrooms and one living room, there was 150 square meters of living space and was very spacious.
After setting down their luggage, Yin Shixiong immediately took out his anti-infrared detector and walked through the entire the place without missing an inch. He combed through the wall closets, bathrooms, cupboards and all the corners under the bed. He didn't expect to find to at least five hidden cameras.
"We can't live here." Yin Shixiong took a hammer to smash the cameras, "Go find the building manager and ask them to find us a different place."
Gu Nianzhi promptly answered and went downstairs to speak with the property manager about a different unit.
The American property manager was unwilling at first, but then Gu Nianzhi put two of the smashed cameras on her desk, and spoke in English, "We just found these in the apartments. This is enough evidence for me to sue the apartment to bankruptcy."
The property manager's face immediately changed and stood up immediately, "I can guarantee that we absolutely don't install this kind of thing here. I'm afraid this was planted."
"I don't know if this was planted or not, but if you want to fix this, fine, get me a new apartment first. I'll choose it myself." Gu Nianzhi refused to back down.
Americans were all like that, you had to argue the point to death. They assume you are afraid of them and ignore you if you're cordial. It would be alright as long as you didn't raise a ruckus.
Gu Nianzhi's voice was even, but her demeanor and tone were firm. The property manager immediately transformed into a good Samaritan and personally took Gu Nianzhi to look for a new place. Because the building was close to Harvard, it was always fully rented. There were vacant units during the summer break because a bunch of students graduated. The new students hadn't started school yet, so there were a few empty apartments for Gu Nianzhi to pick. Gu Nianzhi called Yin Shixiong in. They covertly brought a detector to slowly sweep through the empty apartment, and finally close a south facing two bedroom unit on the sixth floor. There were no hidden cameras inside. Aside from the unit Wen Shouyi rented for them, the other ones had nothing fishy about them.
Gu Nianzhi didn't bother to mince her words, "We'll take this one, you can charge the same account that was paying for the other unit."
"No problem, the rent is the same so we can easily exchange." The property manager smiled like a blooming flower and was extremely helpful.
After fussing for the entire afternoon, Gu Nianzhi and Yin Shixiong finally settled in the furnished apartment on the sixth floor.
