Chapter 133 Exchange for Firearms Expert Ability
Actually, going to South Africa is not a bad idea.
Shen Wancheng had never been abroad in her previous life, let alone to African countries.
Once the thought crossed Shen Wancheng's mind, she couldn't suppress it.
But she was still rational. She was pregnant, and ensuring her personal safety was the most important thing if she were to go to South Africa.
Shen Wancheng immediately asked Cora if she knew anything about South Africa and if she could hire a few more mercenaries like herself.
After Cora said there were no problems, Shen Wancheng immediately decided to go to South Africa.
Once Shen Wancheng has made a decision, no one can influence it, but she also hates being nagged by well-intentioned people, so she doesn't plan to tell Xu Pingtao about this trip.
Shen Wancheng knew that if she left without telling Shen Yao, Shen Yao would definitely chase after her to South Africa as soon as she found out. So she might as well take Shen Yao into consideration.
Then Shen Wancheng thought that since she was going on a long trip, she should let someone close to her know her whereabouts, otherwise if something unexpected happened, people in Hong Kong would not be able to find out immediately.
So Shen Wancheng decided to tell Gu Jinxing.
Shen Wancheng thought that a simple greeting would suffice, so she didn't bother to see Gu Jinxing and just called him directly.
She just didn't expect that Gu Jinxing, who had always gone along with her, would react so strongly to this matter.
Shen Wancheng had just told Gu Jinxing that she wanted to go to South Africa when Gu Jinxing replied, "Wait a minute," and then hung up the phone.
And then... this person appeared at her doorstep.
The whole thing took less than twenty minutes, and it was obvious the driver had sped over.
Gu Jinxing didn't even pretend anymore. Shen Wancheng opened the door, and Gu Jinxing stood up from his wheelchair as soon as he entered.
He stared at Shen Wancheng and questioned her.
"What were you thinking? Going to South Africa while pregnant? Do you know how dangerous it is there?"
This was the first time Gu Jinxing had spoken to Shen Wancheng with a cold expression.
Shen Wancheng wasn't scared; in fact, she found it rather intriguing.
He just stared at Gu Jinxing's face.
Gu Jinxing's already exquisite features appeared even more three-dimensional, like a meticulously sculpted work of art, thanks to his cold expression.
His eyes were sharp and focused, more attractive than his usual aloofness.
After Gu Jinxing finished questioning her, he found that Shen Wancheng was staring at him without any reaction, which made him even angrier.
"Shen Wancheng, can't you show me any respect?"
That sounds a bit like she's been wronged.
Shen Wancheng blinked and said sincerely.
“I didn’t mean to disrespect you, Gu Jinxing. I just suddenly realized that you are really good-looking.”
Gu Jinxing, “...”
My heart felt like it had been suddenly scratched.
The anger subsided instantly.
Gu Jinxing sighed and asked helplessly, "Did you understand what I said?"
Shen Wancheng knew that Gu Jinxing was worried about her, so she patiently explained.
“I’ve considered all your concerns. I’ve already asked Cora to help me hire a few more mercenaries. I really need to go to South Africa. Although I can’t guarantee that I won’t encounter any danger, I promise that I will make full preparations before I go.”
Gu Jinxing met Shen Wancheng's firm and clear gaze, realizing that Shen Wancheng was determined to leave. Shen Wancheng told him that this matter was not asking for his opinion, but simply informing him.
After Gu Jinxing figured this out, he said directly, "Then I'll go with you."
Shen Wancheng was stunned.
"Your company isn't taking responsibility anymore?"
This era was unlike the later internet age, where the internet was so developed that company presidents could work from anywhere.
Gu Jinxing didn't hesitate for a moment and spoke directly.
"If the company can't operate without me for a few days, it just means that everyone in the company is a good-for-nothing. We might as well let them pack their bags and leave now."
Shen Wancheng, “…”
That makes a lot of sense.
There is no way to refute it.
Because Shen Wancheng seems to use the same standard when choosing subordinates, the company will not stop operating even if anyone is gone.
Shen Wancheng asked, "Have you ever been to South Africa?"
Gu Jinxing nodded, "I've acquired some properties in Johannesburg, South Africa, over the past two years. I've been there a few times."
Shen Wancheng said, "Okay then, if you want to come along, then come along."
Anyway, with Gu Jinxing on board, this trip should go more smoothly.
Shen Wancheng agreed after thinking about it that way.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jinxing added, "I have other conditions."
"What are the conditions? If you're in trouble, I won't go with you."
Gu Jinxing was still staring at Shen Wancheng, sizing her up.
"You need to go to the hospital for a check-up first. The doctor said that you and the fetus are stable before you can travel."
So that's what it was. That was also Shen Wancheng's original plan. She wanted to make sure she was fit for the journey before leaving home.
Although Shen Wancheng is very career-oriented, she always remembers that health is the most important thing.
Shen Wancheng said, "No problem, that was my original plan."
Gu Jinxing added, "I'll go to the hospital with you."
Shen Wancheng agreed, "Okay, okay."
Gu Jinxing added, "And..."
Shen Wancheng interrupted him, "Gu Jinxing, are you ever going to stop? Can't you just finish what you're saying at once?"
Gu Jinxing inexplicably enjoyed watching Shen Wancheng when she was impatient or lost control of her emotions.
She seemed more vibrant than she usually is, when she's always calm and collected.
Gu Jinxing said with a faint smile.
“You yourself said you wanted to be fully prepared. What I was thinking was that after you go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow and everything is fine, we can go to the shooting range together in the afternoon so you can touch a real gun. That way, when you get to South Africa, you can carry a gun with you for self-defense.”
Shen Wancheng's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea."
In fact, it's not just men who have a special fascination with guns; many women also have this fascination, and Shen Wancheng is one of them.
She had long wanted to see what it felt like to handle a real gun.
After Shen Wancheng agreed to all of Gu Jinxing's requests, he finally felt much more at ease.
Gu Jinxing then said he would inform the people in South Africa to prepare to welcome them, and then left Shen Wancheng's house.
Shen Wancheng, on the other hand, went back to her room to sleep with a hint of excitement.
Hmm... going to sleep is for show, not for outsiders.
She went to exchange for abilities.
She's been busy with all sorts of things lately and hasn't paid attention to her cheat system for quite some time.
After Shen Wancheng redeemed the three abilities of Intangible Cultural Heritage Expert, MBA Expert, and Translator last time, she only had 20 achievement points left.
However, after Shen Wancheng's company was established and went public through a shell company, the system notified him that he had achieved the first listed company, adding 30 achievement points.
Then Xu Pingtao gave Shen Wancheng a startup fund of 50 million yuan, and the system notified him that his personal assets had reached the achievement of 50 million yuan, and also added 20 achievement points.
All things considered, Shen Wancheng's current achievement score is 70 points.
Shen Wancheng originally only planned to exchange for the Jewelry Appraisal Expert ability during her trip to South Africa, but Gu Jinxing mentioned that they were going to a shooting range the next day, which made Shen Wancheng think that she could also exchange for the Firearms Expert ability first.
Although she hasn't had any hands-on experience yet, and even if she had the ability, she might not know how to use a gun when she actually got her hands on one, knowing the theoretical knowledge would definitely help her get started faster.
Moreover, in the chaotic South Africa, Shen Wancheng gained more knowledge about firearms and was more likely to detect danger.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng decided to exchange for the Firearms Expert ability.
