Chapter 838: Sorry to Disappoint You

Driving from here to the base headquarters takes more than an hour.

After exchanging a few words with the elders at home, Qin Yize drove Gu Qiaoqiao and Gu Zishu towards the base compound.

Gu Qiaoqiao had been here once, but she didn’t go in; she only spoke a few words with Luh Fei outside the gate.

This is a solemn and sacred place.

It’s also where Qin Yize lives and works.

A place where he spends several times more time than he does at home.

Both now and in the future.

This place can be considered his second home.

Qin Yize’s jeep stopped at the gate of the compound.

Then, the guard on duty opened the gate.

No one here doesn’t recognize Doctor Qin’s jeep.

Qin Yize drove the car to a parking spot by an office building.

Gu Qiaoqiao and Gu Zishu got out of the car.

Gu Qiaoqiao stood by the roadside, looking around. The office buildings were neatly arranged, the roads were straight and tidy, so clean that there wasn’t even a twig.

The cold wind carried the sound of powerful training commands that invigorated the spirit and set the blood boiling.

Gu Zishu tugged at Qin Yize’s arm anxiously, "Brother-in-law, I’m going to find Brother Luh Fei."

Luh Fei had long since been transferred here to the guard battalion.

Qin Yize patted Gu Zishu’s head, "Okay."

Then, he said to a young guard who came running over, "Take him to find Luh Fei."

The guard nodded, this had been arranged beforehand.

Afterwards, Gu Zishu waved goodbye to Gu Qiaoqiao and happily followed the guard to find Luh Fei.

Qin Yize pointed to the northwest corner, "Qiaoqiao, they’re planning to build a family quarters there..."

Gu Qiaoqiao looked in the direction Qin Yize was pointing, and indeed there were some unfinished buildings.

Family quarters?

Does it mean families can come here to live?

"It’s so close to the city, is it necessary?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise.

This isn’t like Border City, where it’s far from everywhere, some even separated from their hometown wives by thousands of miles.

So, having families there was necessary.

But here?

Qin Yize looked at Gu Qiaoqiao and said solemnly, "The situation here isn’t much different from Border City, just the geographical location is a bit better. But there are colleagues and teammates from all over, some couples are separated long-term, so the leadership approved the construction of family quarters to give them peace of mind."

There are many middle-aged scientific workers here, all with wives and children. Work is important, but if conditions allow, it’s essential to provide them a warm place.

This isn’t like some places that need secrecy, or require lifelong confidentiality.

So families can come.

"Oh..." Gu Qiaoqiao responded softly, as if it had nothing to do with her for now. She turned to Qin Yize and teased, "This time there’s no house for you, is there?"

Qin Yize’s starry eyes smiled, "There’s none for me, are you very happy?"

"Not that happy, you must’ve seen it wrong."

"What a pity, to disappoint you..." Qin Yize’s voice carried a smile.

"There’s one for you?"

"Wrong, it’s ours." Qin Yize’s tone was very solemn. Then, without waiting for Gu Qiaoqiao to speak, he led the way towards the office building, "Let’s go, the Buddha Beads are in my office."

Gu Qiaoqiao opened her mouth, glanced around, didn’t speak further, and followed Qin Yize towards the office building.

Qin Yize then slowed his pace, and the two walked side by side through the office building’s entrance.

The office building was quiet.

This is where the base’s leadership worked.

Qin Yize was on the third floor, and they didn’t encounter anyone along the way...
