Chapter 2188
Hello, Mr. Major General
Gu Nianzhi took the list of names and quickly walked into the kitchen to stand beside Huo Shaoheng, she asked excitedly, âWhy are all three of them here for our wedding rehearsal? Huo Shao, how did you do your security investigation? Are they full of holes? Anyone can get in?â
Huo Shaoheng quickly fried a thousand pieces of tofu into a bowl. At the same time, he scooped up the minced meat and sea cucumbers from the pot beside him, he said gently, âSince theyâve tried so hard to come to our wedding, Iâll give them a chance. I hope they wonât let me down and give us a wonderful performance to enrich the entertainment life of the working people.â
Gu nianzhi stared at Huo Shaoheng, flabbergasted. After a while, she gave him a thumbs up. âHuo Shao, youâre one of the few people who can use the word âgloatingâin an official tone! I respect you as a man!â
Huo Shaoheng rubbed her head and said casually, âIâm your man. Donât you know that Iâm a man?â
Gu Nianzhi was dizzy from his rubbing. It was the smell of food that had saved her.
She sniffed her delicate little nose and took in the aroma of a thousand pieces of tofu and minced pork mixed with sea cucumber. It was as if she had eaten an extra plate of food.
âHuo Shao, even though youâre busy with work and you donât Cook for us very many days a month, itâs still worth it even if itâs only for a few days!âGu Nianzhi looked at the two dishes and a soup that looked delicious, she followed Huo Shaoheng from the kitchen to the dining room like a little tail.
Lu Jin happened to smell the aroma when he entered the door and was shouting in the living room, âDid Shaoheng Cook? Iâm going to wash my hands right now!â
Gu Nianzhi smiled at Huo Shaoheng and gave him a thumbs up. âIâm done with my father-in-law, Huo Shao. I still have to respect you for being a man!â
Huo Shaoheng sat down. âGo get the bowls and chopsticks and set them up. Itâs been a busy week. Are you and general Lu used to the orderlyâs cooking?â
Gu Nianzhi obediently went to the cupboard to get the bowls and chopsticks and filled them with rice. She placed the rice in front of Huo Shaoheng, she smiled and said, âActually, itâs quite good. Iâve asked around. The orderly sent by the military to my fatherâs official residence is responsible for cooking. All of them have received professional chef training. One of them even graduated from a professional chef school. Heâs a professional.â
The food must be quite good, but it was still inferior to Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan.
Huo Shaoheng poured himself a glass of water and said calmly, âCooking is also an art. Those who are truly good at it must have talent.â
Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhiâs downcast face and teased her, âOf course, eating also requires talent. Otherwise, an average personâs tongue wouldnât be so sharp.â
Gu Nianzhi almost turned from angry to happy.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Huo Shaoheng wasnât necessarily complimenting her. He only glared at Huo Shaoheng and waited for Lu Jin to wash his hands before eating.
After the meal was almost over, Gu Nianzhi told him about the three people who were going to attend the wedding rehearsal.
Lu Jin looked up in surprise and said, âI heard that the invitation to the wedding rehearsal is even rarer than the official wedding. How did the three of them get in?â
His tone was exactly the same as Gu Nianzhiâs. It was obvious that they were father and daughter.
Huo Shaoheng quietly poured a small glass of red wine for Lu Jin and said, âThereâs always a path for the shrimp and a path for the crab. People like them, if they want to do something, thereâs always a way to do it.â
âIf we keep blocking them and donât allow them to come, who knows what theyâll do behind the scenes?â
âHuo Shao, what do you mean? Do you think all three of them have ulterior motives? !âGu Nianzhiâs eyes widened. âI thought it would at most be the Queen of Hearts and Yuan Jianan!â
Lu Jin quickly said, âAt the moment, the possibility of Uma is the lowest. She came to the wedding rehearsal for something else, right?â
Huo Shaoheng nodded. âItâs said that Uma is talking about investment. She wants to naturalize Huaxia citizenship, but as you know, Huaxia is not an immigrant country. Itâs very difficult to get Huaxia citizenship.â
âAlthough sheâs half-chinese, her motherâs family has been foreign citizens for many generations, so she doesnât have any shortcuts.â
âShe was able to attend our wedding rehearsal this time because she was working with the military on a project.âHuo Shaoheng paused for a moment. He remembered that Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were not outsiders, and their security level was only slightly higher than his, he then said in a very reserved manner, âYou all know that her federal and national defense companies are the largest federal military contractors in the United States.â
Gu Nianzhi:â...â
She thought for a moment, then slowly picked up the spoon and drank a mouthful of goji berries, red dates, and black chicken soup. Her eyes sparkled. âThe largest federal military contractor in the United States needs to return Huaxia citizenship? Then will her company still be able to operate?â
â... so this is a secret.âHuo Shaoheng raised his glass at her and said with a half-smile, âYou wonât tell anyone, right?â
âIâd be lying if I believed you!âGu Nianzhi snapped at Huo Shaoheng with her chin. âAccording to your organizationâs style, this kind of thing wonât be announced unless everything is arranged properly.â
âSince she can participate in our wedding rehearsal, it means she can already be exposed to the public, right?â
âSheâs a child to be taught.âHuo Shaoheng pinched her chin and pressed it down. âWhere did you learn to judge people by their Chins?â
Gu Nianzhi smiled and pushed his hand away. âEat properly and donât touch me.â
Huo Shaoheng:â...â
Lu Jin, who was sitting at the side, was already used to the love and abuse between the two of them. He took his time to pick up a sea cucumber and put it into Gu Nianzhiâs bowl, then picked up another for himself, he then asked, âWhat about the other two? Are they going to be naturalized as well?â
âOf course not.âHuo Shaoheng was rather polite when he spoke to Lu Jin.
He placed the napkin on the table and handed gu nianzhi a napkin to wipe her mouth, he said, âYamaguchi Minako came to Huaxiaâs C City half a month ago. She came with Smith, a former colleague of Nianzhiâs.â
âSmithâs female companion is Yamaguchi Minako? !âGu Nianzhi was shocked and almost gasped. âSmith...â
She almost said Smith was ten years younger than Yamaguchi Minako..
Fortunately, when she blurted it out, she remembered Huo Shaohengâs reverse scale and quickly changed the topic. âSince when did Smith know such a rich man? Is he trying to knock on the door? !â
Lu Jin tilted his head to look at her and frowned. âWhoâs Smith?â
âSmith was a lawyer in professor heâs law firm. He worked with me for a period of time. Among my colleagues abroad, I was the closest to him.âGu Nianzhi paused, she smiled and said, âWhen I was in trouble in Germany, Smith helped me a lot.â
âOh, itâs that Smith.âLu Jin remembered that he had investigated everything and everyone related to Gu Nianzhi. He nodded. âYou invited him?â
âHe sends me ten emails a day and calls me eight times a day. How could I not?âGu Nianzhi said angrily. âBesides, heâs really a good friend of mine.â
But she had no idea that his female partner was such an important figure.
Smith, does your mother know that youâre dating Yamaguchi-gumiâs female president, who is ten years older than you?
