Chapter 2041
Hello, Mr. Major General
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and whispered to speaker long, âSpeaker long, general Huo is here too. Iâll go and greet him.â
Speaker long frowned. âGeneral Huo? You Mean Shaohengâs father?â
Gu Nianzhi nodded. âI think heâs here with a friend of his. Iâll go ask him whatâs going on.â
It was rare for a soldier to be present at such an occasion, so Huo Guanchenâs military uniform and the stars on his shoulders made him look especially dazzling.
Speaker Long had turned around to talk to someone, but he hadnât seen it with his own eyes.
When he turned around, Huo Guanchen had already walked back to the small reception room.
âThen go take a look.âSpeaker long raised his hand, he said helplessly, âI told you you didnât have to come, but you had to come. Look, youâre making yourself unhappy, arenât you? Come over after youâre done talking. I just happened to see a few friends, so Iâll introduce you to them.â
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. âThank you, speaker long. Iâll be right back.â
She had come here for Huo Guanchen, so how could she give up this opportunity?
After leaving Speaker Longâs 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 Senateâs 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 Huiningâs face.
However, that was only for a moment. Guo Huining had already returned to normal. She smiled and said intimately, âNianzhi, youâre here too? Is Shaoheng Here?â
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. âGeneral Huo, I didnât expect to see you here.â
Before Huo Guanchen could speak, Guo Huining had already called out, âNianzhi, how did you speak to Mr. Huo? Youâre Mr. Huoâs only sonâs fiancée. Doesnât Mr. Huo deserve to be called your uncle?â
Gu Nianzhi then looked at Guo huining and said lightly, âIâm here today on official business, not for personal matters. In public, we donât care about relatives.â
This meant that there was no problem for her to address Huo Guanchen by his military rank.
Guo Huiningâs face turned red when Gu Nianzhi snatched her away. She subconsciously looked at Huo Guanchen and whispered, âMr. Huo, am I causing you trouble?â
Gu Nianzhi did not wait for Huo Guanchenâs reply and interrupted Guo Huining. âGeneral Huo, are you here on business or for personal reasons?â
Huo Guanchen did not seem to notice the undercurrents between the two women. He only smiled and said, âSo first seat Gu is here on business, but Iâm here for personal reasons.â
He looked at Guo Huining, who was beside him. There was a hint of pity in his tone. âIt was Huiningâs friend who invited her. She asked me to accompany her, but I only have 20 minutes. I have to go back to the meeting.â
Guo huining puffed out her chest and said confidently, âNianzhi, donât tell me Mr. Huo doesnât even have his own private time?â
âOf course he does, so Iâm just asking. Miss Guo, whatâs the point of being so hostile to me? Have I ever offended you?âGu Nianzhi couldnât be bothered to beat around the bush, so she asked directly.
Guo Huining was enraged by Gu Nianzhiâs attitude and tone, not to mention the fact that she kept asking if she had ever offended her!
Oh My God! Wasnât kicking her out of the Hong Corporation considered offending her? !
Guo huining laughed dryly. âOnly you know whether or not youâve offended me.â
âI really donât know.âGu nianzhi glanced at her calmly, âMiss Guo, on the other hand, youâve offended me before, and you havenât officially apologized to me yet. âBut forget it. Since youâre General Huoâs personal friend, Iâll forget everything that happened in the past. I Wonât make things difficult for general Huo.â
Guo Huining wanted to be angry, but when she thought about it again, Gu Nianzhiâs 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, âIt was indeed my fault last time. Iâll officially apologize to You Now!â
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and didnât say anything else. She nodded at Huo Guanchen and said with a smile, âI didnât expect general Huo to have such bad taste as usual.â
â... What does it have to do with you?âHuo Guanchen said in a low voice, âSince huining doesnât like to see you, donât appear here anymore. Why arenât you going back? ! Do you want me to call Shaoheng? !â
As he spoke, he took out his phone and quickly dialed Huo Shaohengâs number.
Gu Nianzhi wasnât the only one who was stunned. Even Guo Huining couldnât believe her ears.
Huo Guanchen had actually stepped forward to slap Gu Nianzhiâs 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, âGeneral Huo, what do you mean by this? Iâm here on official business. Why Canât I?â
âItâs not that I canât, but I canât allow you to speak rudely to Huining.âHuo 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 Guanchenâs military uniform, she said in a low voice, âGuanchen, donât be like this. Nianzhi didnât mean it. Besides, Iâm a few years older than her. Even if sheâs disrespectful to me, I wonât take it to heart.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs your magnanimity that you donât take it to heart, but she canât be without her proper attitude,âHuo Guanchen said, he put his arm around Guo Huiningâs shoulder and glared at Gu Nianzhi. âHuining doesnât like to see you. From now on, wherever she appears, you canât appear!â
Gu Nianzhi:â...â
... was the act real, or was he using too much force?
Gu Nianzhi realized that she couldnât figure out Huo Guanchenâs background either.
She looked deeply at Guo Huining and left without saying a word.
Her heart was in a mess, and she hadnât gone far when she received a call from Huo Shaoheng.
She took her phone to the window and answered it,â... Huo Shao?â
Huo Shaohengâs voice was as deep and magnetic as ever. Just the sound of his voice alone was enough to make her ears tremble.
âNianzhi, did you have a conflict with General Huo?â
â... I didnât...âGu Nianzhi pouted. âI was just reprimanded.â
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.
