"I think Gu Nianzhi is indeed an ordinary person, not a Frankenstein." Bai Yueran said humorously, putting the bone china teacup in his hand on the coffee table, "But what we care about is not her as a person, but her background and her origins. . Admiral Ji and Major General Huo, you have not forgotten how powerful the data chart was in the small backpack she was carrying when she first arrived, right?"
Huo Shaoheng said nothing.
Admiral Ji nodded, "It was with that chart that our Gray Shadow supersonic fighter made breakthrough progress in the engine."
Otherwise, the engine will always be the shortcoming of the Imperial fighter.
"Yes, to be honest, according to our intelligence, this kind of engine is still under development even in the United States." Bai Yueran's words now were completely directed at Huo Shaoheng, "So Mr. Huo, you still want to get rid of Gu Nian Is this baggage?"
Admiral Ji sat up straight on the sofa. Although he was older, his majestic momentum was still the same as before. He patted Huo Shaoheng on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Shao Heng, this is a task assigned to you by the country and the military. .I know it’s not easy for you, a grown man, to be the guardian of a little girl and bring her up like a nanny. But, as Yueran said just now, what we care about is her background and origin, not She is a person. So, I order you, if her background and origins are not found out, you will not give up your responsibilities for a day, do you hear me?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded, "I will not give up my responsibility, but I still feel that we cannot rely entirely on her for the development of the empire's military technology. Self-reliance and independent research and development are the right path. Thinking of what she brought back then, It's enough to do us a big favor. Of course, I will still try to find her family, not to get more benefits, but to allow her to return to her family. You don't think that she has no memories of those years , don’t you have any desire for family affection?”
Bai Yueran chuckled loudly, "I didn't expect that the cruel and ruthless Mr. Huo could be a hero and have a strong love for his children? - I have said long ago that caring about Nianzhi is your mission and your goal, not your relatives or your friends. . Mr. Huo, your current state of mind is very dangerous because you have put too much emotional projection into your tasks and goals, which is wrong."
"Colonel Bai, it's not your turn to say whether my behavior is right or wrong." Huo Shaoheng was not moved at all. Bai Yueran's words had no influence on him, "You have overstepped your level."
Bai Yueran was refuted by Huo Shaoheng in person, and felt a little embarrassed on his face, but after thinking about it again, he realized that he was indeed carried away for a moment and spoke without knowing the right words. He stood up and saluted him: "Major General Huo! Bai Yueran shouldn't have spoken nonsense. Please punish Master Huo!"
Admiral Ji waved to Bai Yueran, "Sit down, sit down. The three of us can talk casually without restraint. - Shao Heng, what Yueran said is not unreasonable. You have to remember that you are the Imperial Major General, and your Every move is important. Of course, I am assured of you, you are not an indifferent person."
Bai Yueran sat down uneasily, kept looking at Huo Shaoheng's face, and whispered: "... Huo Shao, I have no ill intentions, I really think about the military. As for Gu Nianzhi, what you said makes sense, and wait until she comes of age. After that, she will also find a boyfriend, get married, and have children. As long as she stays in the empire, there should be no problem."
Huo Shaoheng ignored her, stood up and gave a military salute to General Ji: "General Ji, is there anything else you can do?"
"No, since this pension charity fund thing is in your name, you should take the lead in finding someone to do it well." Admiral Ji pushed the pile of materials to him, "Actually, we don't lack this. Just like that time with Gu Yanran, I asked you to meet her not because she promised to donate money, do you understand?"
Gu Yanran also had some drawings they needed, which were more powerful than the drawings of fighter engines that Gu Nianzhi had back then. This was the real reason why the military compromised with her.
Of course, it would be easier to hide it from others by saying it was for the charity fund.
Huo Shaoheng had known about it for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have gone, but the fact that he went to accompany him for a drink in order to "donate money" was taken advantage of by some people who were dissatisfied with him. It was widely spread outside, and the military did not come forward to clarify it for him. The reputation still has a certain impact and trouble.
But Gu Nianzhi used his hand and immediately blocked the mouths of those people.
Huo Shaoheng thought of Gu Nianzhi, who was getting more and more eccentric, and his lips curved with pleasure, and his sharp eyebrows softened, "Admiral Ji, this fund cannot be established in my name."
"Why?" Bai Yueran and Admiral Ji asked in unison.
"Master Huo, don't be too humble." Bai Yueran said anxiously, "If it is established in your name, it will be considered your achievement!"
It's something you can write on your resume and write about in the future whether it's a promotion or an election.
Huo Shaoheng smiled, picked up the pile of materials and shook them, "Didn't you see that the owner of this remittance is Gu Nianzhi? She is not yet eighteen years old, and donating money requires the signature of her guardian. She remitted money back from the United States, It was Ozawa who signed it, but in fact, her donation needs my signature to be officially effective. - So, do you want my reputation to be even darker?"
As a guardian, but with ulterior motives, he deceives the ward into donating all his money for his own achievements
Was he that mean
Neither Bai Yueran nor Admiral Ji thought of this. They looked at each other, then turned to look at Huo Shaoheng, "What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry about it." Huo Shaoheng put the materials in his briefcase and answered the question: "I'm going back. When our Sixth Military Region headquarters is built next year, we will move here."
…
After Huo Shaoheng left, General Ji sat back behind his desk, calmed down his expression, and asked Bai Yueran seriously: "How do you feel after staying in the Sixth Military Region for a month?"
Bai Yueran said hurriedly: "With Mr. Huo in charge of the Sixth Military Region, it is indeed like an iron barrel, so I don't agree with sending a new military commander to the Sixth Military Region."
"Oh? Then you agree with Shao Heng being the commander of the Sixth Military Region?"
"Yes, no one else has this qualification except him." Bai Yueran paused, "I know that because of my second uncle's matter, Uncle Ji will be worried that our Bai family will have discord with Mr. Huo, but I can assure Uncle Ji that we The Bai family is very sad about their uncle's treasonous behavior and vowed to draw a clear line with him. Moreover, we are also mobilizing our Bai family relatives and friends around the world to trace the whereabouts of my second uncle. Once found, we will immediately report it to the military , will never show favoritism.”
As a large family, the Bai family plays an important role in the upper echelons of the Chinese Empire.
Their family not only produces numerous talents in the political and military circles, but also has many outstanding talents in the private business, media, and academic circles.
For such a family, and in this era where they can no longer sit together, the defection of Bai Yueran's second uncle Bai Yusheng did not have much impact on the Bai family.
The only person affected was his daughter Bai Shuang.
She can no longer be the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but she does not want to be transferred to an insignificant department and do nothing for the rest of her life.
As a result, she has resigned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and will no longer hold public office.
General Ji felt a little relieved when he heard what Bai Yueran said.
He wants to pave the way for Huo Shaoheng, and the Bai family must be stable and not let them have too many negative impressions of Huo Shaoheng.
Fortunately, the evidence of Bai Yusheng's defection is conclusive, and with the power of the Bai family, it is impossible to clear it. Therefore, we can only actively draw a clear line with Bai Yusheng and help capture him and bring him to justice.
But some people in the Bai family were also dissatisfied with Huo Shaoheng, and felt that he could communicate privately instead of arresting people in a big way. What he did was not giving the Bai family face and slapping the Bai family in the face.
At this point, we can only count on Bai Yueran to say more nice things to Huo Shaoheng in the Bai family.
Bai Yueran's father is the head of the Bai family's generation. Their branch is still very important in the Bai family.
"That's good, let's see how you perform." Admiral Ji is not afraid of falling out with the Bai family. If the Bai family really harms the interests of the empire, they will not be merciful.
…
Huo Shaoheng took a special plane from the imperial capital to his base in City C overnight and found that Chen Zhan had returned from the United States and was sitting in the living room of his house, tapping his legs and eating lychees.
Seeing him come in, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Master Huo, you are back. I heard that Nian Zhi donated a large sum of money to the military department, right?"
"Where did you hear about it?" Huo Shaoheng threw his gloves on the table at the entrance. "Less than four people in the entire empire know about this."
"Haha, I heard what Ozawa said. I got a call from him right after I got off the plane. He said that for the guardian's signature, you need Mr. Huo to come forward." Chen Shen brought up an agate plate with lychees, "... Do you want to eat?"
"No, thank you." Huo Shaoheng pushed him away, "I still have something to do. If you have nothing to do, go back and rest. - Aren't you jet-lagged?"
I just came back from the United States and came over to eat in high spirits. No wonder I am getting fatter.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the display up and down, "Are you gaining weight again?"
"Don't slap people in the face, don't call people fat when you criticize them." Zhe Chen patted his belly in fear, "Brother, I have given up on myself a long time ago and no longer control myself."
Huo Shaoheng ignored him and went to the study by himself. He asked people from the station to come over and ask them to start the pension charity fund.
"This fund can be named 'Today's Heart' Charitable Fund. The donor is kept confidential and is completely under the control of our military." Huo Shaoheng issued a mission to his subordinates, "Go down and cooperate with the people from the Legal Department first to transfer the fund Establish according to the legal framework, and then use this as a standard to establish military charity fund guidelines, which stipulate that investors of charitable funds are not allowed to interfere with any operation of the fund. Only those with a one-time investment of 90 million US dollars can obtain the position of honorary director .In addition to receiving a financial statement every year, any conditions put forward by the investor are not allowed and illegal."
Huo Shaoheng stretched out his slender finger and shook it, "Did you hear that? These are the rules. We welcome those who are willing to donate, but we have the final say on how to use the donation. If you don't agree to this condition, don't mention the donation. "
His condition is considered very strong, but this matter is related to the important affairs of the military. If he is not tough, he will wait for the military to be infiltrated by external forces step by step.
This is also the principle by which Huo Shaoheng has always acted.
He wants to be the one who sets the rules and will never obey the rules set by others.
When Huo Shaoheng's subordinates saw the huge number in the bank account, they were all happy and said with a smile: "No problem! But Mr. Huo, can you reveal which god made such a big deal? Is it that one? A rich woman from Barbados?”
The subordinates looked at Huo Shaoheng excitedly with gossipy expressions on their faces, wishing they could take a camera to capture every word of Huo Shaoheng's words.
Huo Shaoheng looked at them expressionlessly, "No. But after the fund is established, ask Ms. Gu to transfer the promised donation directly to the bank account of the 'Heart of the Day' Pension Charity Foundation, and tell her that we have An anonymous person donated 90 million US dollars, so her 50 million cannot account for the majority of the foundation, and she is not even qualified to be an honorary director."
"Yes, Chief!" When the subordinate heard that it was not Gu Yanran at all, he immediately stopped questioning and took the materials and went to find someone from the Legal Department to start preparing the foundation.
…
After everyone left, Huo Shaoheng returned to his small building and found that the display was still here.
However, he took out his laptop and placed it on the small coffee table, eating while working.
Huo Shaoheng sat down on the sofa opposite him, frowned and said, "What's the matter with you? Why don't you go home?"
"I forgot to show you this." Display waved to him happily, "Come and take a look, a freshly shot short video, recorded on the spot, without any traces of PS or editing!"
Huo Shaoheng shook his head speechlessly, got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, "You can see for yourself, I'm not interested."
"Huh? Not interested? I thought you would want to see what happened in the court..." Display looked at Huo Shaoheng's back, grinned, and almost took out the stopwatch to time Huo Shaoheng's turn.
But he was disappointed. Huo Shaoheng didn't hesitate at all this time. He immediately turned around, sat next to him, turned his laptop towards his direction, and asked, "Is it Nian Zhi's court trial record?"
"Yes." Display opened the video cheerfully, then sat aside with his arms folded, humming an old song continuously: "I am smiling triumphantly... I am smiling triumphantly..."
There was a burst of noise from the laptop, and Huo Shaoheng's eyes were immediately attracted by the cartoon girl-like girl who appeared in the middle of the screen.
From this point of view, Gu Nianzhi was even better than his memory. With her smart and smart eyebrows, relying on the power of the tall man beside her, she was very intimidating.
"... Did you see it? Isn't it a good match?" Chen Chen came over without fear of death.
