Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and whispered to speaker long, “Speaker long, general Huo is here too. I’ll go and greet him.”
Speaker long frowned. “General Huo? You Mean Shaoheng’s father?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded. “I think he’s here with a friend of his. I’ll go ask him what’s going on.”
It was rare for a soldier to be present at such an occasion, so Huo Guanchen’s military uniform and the stars on his shoulders made him look especially dazzling.
Speaker Long had turned around to talk to someone, but he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes.
When he turned around, Huo Guanchen had already walked back to the small reception room.
“Then go take a look.”Speaker long raised his hand, he said helplessly, “I told you you didn’t have to come, but you had to come. Look, you’re making yourself unhappy, aren’t you? Come over after you’re done talking. I just happened to see a few friends, so I’ll introduce you to them.”
Speaker Long was sincere in grooming her to be his successor, so he spared no effort in sharing his circle of friends and network of contacts with her, so that she could familiarize herself with his work.
Gu Nianzhi smiled at him. “Thank you, speaker long. I’ll be right back.”
She had come here for Huo Guanchen, so how could she give up this opportunity?
After leaving Speaker Long’s side, Gu Nianzhi led her two assistants and two security guards to the small reception room.
She had come to the Christmas party for official reasons, not for personal reasons. The Senate’s chief legal advisor had always acted as she did.
When she led her own people into the small reception room, Gu Nianzhi did not miss the look of disgust on Guo Huining’s face.
However, that was only for a moment. Guo Huining had already returned to normal. She smiled and said intimately, “Nianzhi, you’re here too? Is Shaoheng Here?”
As she spoke, she poked her head out of the door and pretended to search.
Gu Nianzhi nodded politely at her, but did not respond. Instead, she looked at Huo Guanchen and smiled. “General Huo, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Before Huo Guanchen could speak, Guo Huining had already called out, “Nianzhi, how did you speak to Mr. Huo? You’re Mr. Huo’s only son’s fiancée. Doesn’t Mr. Huo deserve to be called your uncle?”
Gu Nianzhi then looked at Guo huining and said lightly, “I’m here today on official business, not for personal matters. In public, we don’t care about relatives.”
This meant that there was no problem for her to address Huo Guanchen by his military rank.
Guo Huining’s face turned red when Gu Nianzhi snatched her away. She subconsciously looked at Huo Guanchen and whispered, “Mr. Huo, am I causing you trouble?”
Gu Nianzhi did not wait for Huo Guanchen’s reply and interrupted Guo Huining. “General Huo, are you here on business or for personal reasons?”
Huo Guanchen did not seem to notice the undercurrents between the two women. He only smiled and said, “So first seat Gu is here on business, but I’m here for personal reasons.”
He looked at Guo Huining, who was beside him. There was a hint of pity in his tone. “It was Huining’s friend who invited her. She asked me to accompany her, but I only have 20 minutes. I have to go back to the meeting.”
Guo huining puffed out her chest and said confidently, “Nianzhi, don’t tell me Mr. Huo doesn’t even have his own private time?”
“Of course he does, so I’m just asking. Miss Guo, what’s the point of being so hostile to me? Have I ever offended you?”Gu Nianzhi couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush, so she asked directly.
Guo Huining was enraged by Gu Nianzhi’s attitude and tone, not to mention the fact that she kept asking if she had ever offended her!
Oh My God! Wasn’t kicking her out of the Hong Corporation considered offending her? !
Guo huining laughed dryly. “Only you know whether or not you’ve offended me.”
“I really don’t know.”Gu nianzhi glanced at her calmly, “Miss Guo, on the other hand, you’ve offended me before, and you haven’t officially apologized to me yet. “But forget it. Since you’re General Huo’s personal friend, I’ll forget everything that happened in the past. I Won’t make things difficult for general Huo.”
Guo Huining wanted to be angry, but when she thought about it again, Gu Nianzhi’s words seemed to acknowledge the relationship between her and Huo Guanchen. She suddenly felt happy, and the anger she felt just now was like a balloon that had been pricked by a needle, it instantly leaked out.
She beamed and quickly said, “It was indeed my fault last time. I’ll officially apologize to You Now!”
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and didn’t say anything else. She nodded at Huo Guanchen and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect general Huo to have such bad taste as usual.”
“… What does it have to do with you?”Huo Guanchen said in a low voice, “Since huining doesn’t like to see you, don’t appear here anymore. Why aren’t you going back? ! Do you want me to call Shaoheng? !”
As he spoke, he took out his phone and quickly dialed Huo Shaoheng’s number.
Gu Nianzhi wasn’t the only one who was stunned. Even Guo Huining couldn’t believe her ears.
Huo Guanchen had actually stepped forward to slap Gu Nianzhi’s face for her!
He really was sincere with her..
Guo Huining was so happy that she almost cried.
Gu Nianzhi quickly came back to her senses and said with a sullen face, “General Huo, what do you mean by this? I’m here on official business. Why Can’t I?”
“It’s not that I can’t, but I can’t allow you to speak rudely to Huining.”Huo Guanchen had changed from his usual ambiguous attitude to publicly supporting Guo Huining.
Guo huining felt bad and quickly tugged at the sleeve of Huo Guanchen’s military uniform, she said in a low voice, “Guanchen, don’t be like this. Nianzhi didn’t mean it. Besides, I’m a few years older than her. Even if she’s disrespectful to me, I won’t take it to heart.”
“It’s your magnanimity that you don’t take it to heart, but she can’t be without her proper attitude,”Huo Guanchen said, he put his arm around Guo Huining’s shoulder and glared at Gu Nianzhi. “Huining doesn’t like to see you. From now on, wherever she appears, you can’t appear!”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
… was the act real, or was he using too much force?
Gu Nianzhi realized that she couldn’t figure out Huo Guanchen’s background either.
She looked deeply at Guo Huining and left without saying a word.
Her heart was in a mess, and she hadn’t gone far when she received a call from Huo Shaoheng.
She took her phone to the window and answered it,”… Huo Shao?”
Huo Shaoheng’s voice was as deep and magnetic as ever. Just the sound of his voice alone was enough to make her ears tremble.
“Nianzhi, did you have a conflict with General Huo?”
“… I didn’t…”Gu Nianzhi pouted. “I was just reprimanded.”
She looked at the transparent floor-to-ceiling window in front of her and habitually swiped her fingers twice on it.
Because it was a Christmas party, the windowsill was surrounded by colorful light bulbs that shone brightly. The window was not as bright as it used to be and could not be used as a mirror at night.
After a while, Gu Nianzhi saw a refined and handsome man standing not far from her from the reflection of the windowsill, smiling in her direction.
She turned around, and the man had already walked over.
