Chapter 1950 - Wait and see
Hello, Mr. Major General
Zhang Baochen was a little surprised, he quickly said humbly, âThis is because general huo is broad-minded and does not lower himself to the level of people like us. âBesides, we also know that we were wrong back then. Letâs not talk about my mother. A son does not mind his motherâs ugliness and a dog does not mind his familyâs poverty. We can only try our best to do what we can to atone for my motherâs sins.â
Huo Guanchen nodded. His expression became more relaxed, and his mood improved. âI know. You guys have been very attentive over the past year and a half.â
As the two of them spoke, they walked to grandfather Huoâs ward together.
Zhang Baochen put down his small leather bag and called the nurse over. He asked grandfather Huo about his recent condition eagerly.
The young nurse saw that Huo Guanchen was here, so she did not dare to be negligent, she said with great concern, âOld Mr. Huoâs condition is not considered good, nor is it considered bad. Our Hospital has also sent the best doctors to take care of old Mr. Huo. During this period of time, old Mr. Huoâs condition has not worsened.â
âIt has not worsened? Then is there any possibility of it getting better? !âZhang Baochen asked anxiously.
He had had a really hard year and a half. Although he wanted to atone for his motherâs sins, more than that, he still hoped that grandfather Huo could wake up from his vegetative state.
Their only hope was grandfather Huo, who was still in a deep sleep.
Once grandfather Huo woke up, their family would have something to look forward to.
However, the young nurse only shook her head and said tactfully,â... Iâm not too sure about this, but from the current situation, there are no changes for now.â
Zhang Baochen was extremely disappointed, but he did not ask any more questions. He quietly went to the bathroom to wash his hands and then came out to give grandfather Huo a leg massage.
He had been lying in the hospital for a year and a half. He was getting older, and his muscles were already beginning to atrophy.
Huo Guanchen watched from the side for a while. He felt uncomfortable and said, âBaochen, youâre busy. Iâll be leaving first.â
Zhang Baochen quickly turned around and said, âTake care.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He was the only one left in the ward to take care of grandfather Huo.
Zhang Baochen looked at grandfather Huoâs slightly atrophied body, he said sadly, âDad, when will you wake up? With you like this, Wenjie and Wenna have no future... They are still young, unlike me, who is already old and has no hope in this life...â
He sincerely hoped that grandfather Huo would wake up soon and stop Huo Shaoheng from continuing to cause trouble for the Zhang family.
Over the past year and a half, Zhang Wenjie and Zhang Wenna had both been fired from the state organs they worked for, all because they had failed the political review.
Why had there been no problems with the political review in the past?
Now there was a problem with the political review. It was obvious that Huo Shaoheng was the one who had caused the trouble.
Zhang Baochen knew what Huo Shaoheng had done in the past.
He stayed in grandfather Huoâs ward with his head down for the whole afternoon. He only left the military general hospital when it was almost dark.
However, he received a call not long after he got into the car.
âAre You Mr. Zhang Baochen, Mr. Zhang?â
He nodded. âYes, who is this?â
âIâm Guo Huining, the director of the Legal Department of the Hong Group. Iâd like to have a meal with you. I have something to talk to you about. Is it convenient for you?âGuo Huining said politely over the phone, âI know you donât know me, but I know Huo Shao. Iâve had two meals with him. Iâm also very familiar with his childhood friend, Xue Jingjiang. If you donât believe me, you can call Xue Jingjiangâs number.â
Guo Huining gave out Xue Jingjiangâs phone number.
Zhang Baochen had lived in the Huo family for more than ten years. How could he not know one of Huo Shaohengâs childhood friends, Xue Jingjiang?
He saw that Guo Huining even knew Xue Jingjiangâs phone number. He was already halfway convinced. He deliberated and said, âSure, you can set a time.â
Guo huining quickly said, âTomorrow is Friday. How about tomorrow afternoon? Iâll send a car to pick you up. Iâve booked a place at Chengnan Mansion.â
Chengnan mansion was a newly opened garden villa-style hotel in the imperial capital. Not only was the price extremely high, but it was also a membership system. Most wealthy people would not be able to enter it.
This was the first time Zhang Baochen had heard of the name of this hotel, but when he heard it, he immediately agreed. âThen Iâll see you tomorrow.â
He asked again, âDo You Know My Address?â
Guo huining smiled and said, âCan you send me your address?â
Zhang Baochen shared his address and went home.
When he got home and had dinner, he told his family about the dinner tomorrow.
His son, Zhang Wenjie, and daughter, Zhang Wenna, looked at each other and asked curiously, âDad, who is this person? Is He a liar?â
Zhang Baochen smiled bitterly and took a sip of the mung bean porridge, saying, âLiar? You think too highly of your father. I have nothing now. Even if the other party is a liar, what can he lie to me about?â
He chuckled, âMaybe I can even get a meal from him. â Chengnan Mansion. It sounds very good.â
Zhang Wenjie and Zhang Wenna looked up information about Chengnan mansion on the internet and said happily, âDad! Youâre right! Even if this person is a swindler, heâs also a swindler who can spend money! Itâs not a loss for you to have a meal with him!â
..
The lights were on, and the night in the capital was peaceful and peaceful.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng arrived at Mrs. Songâs apartment with a bottle of red wine and rang the doorbell.
Song Jinning opened the door and smiled at Gu Nianzhi. âNianzhi, youâre finally here. Iâve been wanting to talk to you for the past few days, but I felt like you had just returned and needed to rest more, so I didnât call.â
Gu nianzhi gave her a big hug and blushed guiltily. âMrs. Song, I missed you too... but I just got back and was a little tired, so...â
âI know, thatâs why I didnât call you.âSong Jinning said affectionately and took her hand as they entered the house. She sized up Huo Shaoheng who had followed them in. âShaoheng doesnât look too bad.â
Huo Shaoheng:â...â
Gu Nianzhi:â...â
Fortunately, Lu Jin came out to help them out. âNianzhiâs Here!â
The first time he saw his precious daughter, he walked over happily and hugged her. He looked her up and down and kept saying, âYouâve lost weight, youâve lost weight. Eat more today!â
Gu Nianzhi hugged Lu Jinâs arm and rubbed it against him. She said happily, âDad, I love it when you say Iâve lost weight!â
Lu Jin laughed heartily. He glanced at Huo Shaoheng from the corner of his eye and said perfunctorily, âHuo Shaohengâs here too. You talk to your mother, Iâll talk to my daughter.â
Without any further explanation, he pulled gu nianzhi away.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at song jinning, who patted him on the shoulder, suppressing his laughter, he said, âLu Jin is a very interesting and knowledgeable person. Shaoheng, donât look so glum. He and his daughter havenât seen each other for a few days. Itâs normal for them to talk together now.â
His elbow was almost broken, wasnât it?
Huo Shaoheng was used to it. He quietly looked around the room and changed the topic. âMs. Song, Iâm not angry. But why do you have extra luggage? Are the guest rooms occupied?â
Song Jinning was all smiles, âLu Yuan and Lu Jinâs house is under renovation. They didnât have a place to stay for a while, so they came to stay with me. Since Iâm not home often, they can stay first. Itâs more convenient for me to work in the physics department.â
Huo Shaoheng:â...â
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Yuan called out from the kitchen, âDirector song, do you still have a chopping board?â
Song jinning quickly replied, âYes, Iâll help you find it.â
With that, she walked quickly to the kitchen.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the strange harmony and tacit understanding between the two of them. He rubbed his forehead with his hand and walked to the balcony. Looking at the bright and sparkling night sky of the imperial capital, he took out his phone and called Xue Jingjiang.
Xue Jingjiang had just finished his dinner and was in his room looking at some merger and acquisition materials.
Hearing his phone ring, he glanced at it and realized it was Huo Shaohengâs number. How rare..
He immediately threw away the materials in his hand and opened the phone. He smiled and said, âHuo Shao? Is It really you? My jaw is about to fall to the ground!â
Huo Shaoheng stood on the balcony. His hand was a little itchy and he wanted to smoke a cigarette. However, he thought about it again and his eyes darkened. He twirled his fingers a few times and pushed himself onto the balcony. He asked, âYoung Master Xue, have you had dinner?â
âI just had dinner. Whatâs the matter? You want to have another meal with me? Iâll accompany you!âXue Jingjiang said cheerfully. âHelp me up! I can still eat!â
Huo Shaoheng chuckled and ignored Xue Jingjiangâs banter. He smiled and said, âI want to ask you, what happened after we left the Hong Hotel Today?â
Xue Jingjiang naturally assumed that Gu Nianzhi had already acted coquettishly to Huo Shaoheng and complained about what had happened in the hotel.
He frowned as well, he said, âWhat happened today was indeed the fault of young master Hongâs fiancée. âShe insisted on getting in on the reserved seat that young master Hong had already given away. She asked someone else to give up their seat, but she didnât say anything. She was acting all high and mighty. Who could stand it?â
Huo shaoheng replied with an âOHâand said lightly, âI see. I was wondering why she was so angry.â
Xue Jingjiang was stunned. âMiss Gu didnât tell you what happened?â
âNo.âHuo Shaoheng shook his head. âShe didnât say a word, so I didnât ask.â
âReally!âXue Jingjiang patted his forehead, he smiled and gave her a thumbs up. âThen Iâll have to weigh my sister-in-law again. Sheâs young, but sheâs still so sensible. She doesnât cause trouble among menâs Bros. sheâs indeed a rare good girl!â
Even Guo Huining, who had been immersed in the work world for more than a decade, could not compare to her self-restraint.
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips and praised himself, which was rare. âOf course. Who Did you grow up with?â
Xue Jingjiang, who had been single for ten thousand years, instantly received a 100,000-point critical hit!
âHuo Shao! Look at how smug you are!âXue Jingjiang could not help but mock, âLet me tell you something. You have your sister-in-law in your hands, but others may not. Otherwise, why would someone like Guo huining think that the three melons from the investment bank are more important than the guests that young master Hong is hospitable to!â
âIf she didnât think that they were more important, why would she give up her seat?â
Huo Shaohengâs eyes flashed, and he said calmly, âReally? which investment bank are they from? Who are they?â
His tone was normal and his meaning was obvious.
However, Xue Jingjiang could hear the goosebumps on his skin.
â... Huo Shao, what do you mean? Do you want to teach these blind people a lesson?âXue Jingjiang asked with a smile.
His heart was in a state of shock.
He had never seen Huo Shaoheng use his power to make trouble for others.
Was he going to make an exception? !
Xue Jingjiang was excited.
Huo Shaoheng denied it lightly. âWhat are you thinking? Am I the kind of person who doesnât distinguish between personal and professional matters?â
âBut someone bullied my woman, and I didnât even ask, and he was a man? Someone slapped me, so I had to know who it was, right?â
âActually, this has nothing to do with the investment bank.âXue Jingjiang thought about it carefully, âThe main thing is that Hongâs fiancée is unreliable, but she didnât seem to recognize miss gu at the beginning. You should be magnanimous and not hit her too hard. Itâs not a crime if you donât know...â
Huo Shaoheng chuckled. âYou still havenât told me who those people at the investment bank were and which investment bank they were from.â
Seeing that Huo Shaoheng was not going to let it go, Xue Jingjiang had no choice but to say, âActually, this investment bank may not be completely innocent.â
He spoke of the three people. âOne is Yi Xinyan, Carlyleâs chief analyst for Pacific Rim. The other is associate director Jia, in charge of underwriting securities. The other is the sister of an old acquaintance of ours.â
Xue Jingjiang paused for a moment before saying,â... Dou aiyan.â
Huo Shaoheng held the phone in his other hand. âItâs her?â
âYes, so itâs more likely that Guo huining was instigated by someone. Perhaps she really didnât recognize miss gu at the beginning.âXue Jingjiang analyzed honestly, âAnd Dou Aiyan definitely knew who miss gu was.â
Huo Shaoheng nodded. âThat makes sense. But why did Dou Aiyan suddenly return to the country? I remember that after her sister and her fatherâs case, she was sponsored by her aunt to go abroad, right?â
âYes, she went abroad. Isnât she back now? Through her uncleâs connections, she became an intern at Carlyle.âXue Jingjiang ran his fingers through his hair, he frowned. âWhat do you think? Why would she deliberately target miss gu?â
âWhat do you think?âHuo Shaoheng finally snorted coldly, his mood fluctuating. âSuch an obvious provocation, donât say you didnât see it.â
Xue Jingjiang chuckled. âItâs not that I didnât see it, itâs just that I didnât think her provocation would be of any use. Think about it, sheâs at most like a toad jumping onto someoneâs feet. Even if she doesnât scare people, she still has to disgust them, right?â
âBesides, with the Dou and Yan familyâs performance over the past year or two, they can only be described as people with their tails between their legs. Do you think they would be bold enough to deliberately provoke you?â
âSo youâre saying that this is Dou Aiyanâs behavior alone?âHuo Shaoheng walked slowly on the balcony, his eyes focused as he muttered, âI donât think so.â
âFirst of all, Dou Aiyan is only in her fourth year, yet she can become an intern at Carlyle. Carlyle is not an ordinary company in the international investment world. I donât think her uncle has such power.â
âSecond of all, Dou Aiyan pretended not to know Nianzhi, but it was impossible for Nianzhi not to remember her. She also knew that Gu Nianzhi would remember her, but she still made a move.â
âThird of all, Dou aiyan became an intern, but she didnât perform well. Instead, she took the opportunity to sow discord and give Nianzhi a hard time. Did she really think that she would make Nianzhi feel bad and that I wouldnât know who she was? Would I just stand by and do nothing? As the daughter of the former Prime Minister Dou, she doesnât even have this little bit of political sensitivity?â
âFourth, if she had considered all of these situations, but she still did it, and it wasnât because she suddenly lost her mind, then there must be someone else behind her.â
Huo Shaoheng finally came to a conclusion.â... This isnât over yet. We can wait and see.â
