"It's just a meal, who would make you angry?" Huo Shaoheng did not hide his surprised look and tone at all.
Hong Ziqi understood it immediately, and his long, fair face suddenly turned red. He hesitated and said, "There may be some misunderstanding. Let me go and take a look."
Huo Shaoheng also stood up and said calmly: "No, I'm here to accompany my fiancée. If she doesn't eat, there's no need for me to stay. - Farewell."
He nodded casually to Hong Ziqi, and said politely to Xue Jingjiang who didn't know what was going on at the side: "Jingjiang, you're welcome. We'll contact you when you have time."
Xue Jingjiang knew the nature of Huo Shaoheng's work, so he never asked him what he was doing, let alone inquired about his whereabouts.
He could only say hello during the holidays and get together at a coincidental time. Usually it was Huo Shaoheng who contacted him, but he couldn't contact Huo Shaoheng.
Today Huo Shaoheng asked him for a reservation at Hong's Hotel, so he was overjoyed and hurried over to see him.
Seeing that Huo Shaoheng was about to leave, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Did someone accidentally offend Mrs. Huo? Who is so bold?! Mr. Huo, don't worry, I'll help Mrs. Huo say this!"
He paid much more attention to Huo Shaoheng than Hong Ziqi, so he naturally knew about the engagement between Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi in Russia, and also saw the engagement ceremony hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Huo Shaoheng smiled lightly and said, "No, it's just a meal. Just don't eat it in the future."
He has no room for Hong's Hotel, and this kind of business is not worthy of his room.
His Nianzhi had never been an unreasonable person, but now that he could say such words with such ferocity, he didn't know how wronged he was at Hong's Hotel.
Although Huo Shaoheng looked calm on his face, in fact, just like Gu Nianzhi, he also included Hong's Hotel in the "never enter" list.
Huo Shaoheng whistled softly and left quickly with the short-legged corgi Ake.
Hong Ziqi couldn't catch up with Huo Shaoheng even when he was running.
Seeing this, Xue Jingjiang stopped him and said, "There's no need to chase him. It's better to go and see what happened."
Hong Ziqi's face was extremely gloomy. He clenched his fists and angrily came to the lobby on the first floor.
The waiter in the red vest was about to go upstairs when he met Hong Ziqi. He trotted forward and said softly: "Young Master Hong, those three guests left and made a lot of trouble with Miss Guo."
"Leave?! Why didn't you stop them?!" Hong Ziqi glared at the waiter in the red vest, "Didn't I say I would treat them well?!"
"I know, but Miss Guo..." The waiter in the red vest smiled bitterly, knowing that he was no longer human inside and out.
But there is no way, as a low-level wage earner, you will get into trouble easily.
She lowered her head and stopped talking.
Hong Ziqi snorted, "Take me to see Miss Guo. I want to ask what's going on. - If you dare to lie, see how I punish you!"
He wouldn't just take this waiter's word for it.
The waiter in the red vest took Hong Ziqi back to the seat by the rear window without saying a word.
After Gu Nianzhi and the others left, Guo Huining kept busy and immediately called the three people from the investment bank to come over and have dinner together.
The seats were fully occupied by four people.
When Hong Ziqi and the others arrived, the three women and one man were talking about something happy and singing and laughing.
Hong Ziqi's frown deepened.
He put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked over slowly, and said, "Excuse me, can I have a word with Huining?"
Guo Huining looked up and saw Hong Ziqi standing in front of her with an unkind expression. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she still said with a smile: "Ziqi is here. Come on, let me introduce him to you."
She stood up, pointed to the other three people on the table and said, "This is Yi Xinyan, chief analyst of the Pacific Rim region of Carlyle Investment Co., Ltd."
"This is Dou Aiyan, an intern in the Asia Legal Department of Carlyle Investment Co., Ltd." She paused, then smiled and said, "Ms. Dou's father used to be the prime minister."
As for Prime Minister Dou being imprisoned for colluding with the Japanese, she never mentioned it.
But Xue Jingjiang had to mention it.
He was very surprised to find Dou Aiyan here.
"...Prime Minister Dou? Is he the Prime Minister Dou who colluded with the Japanese and tried to disrupt the election?" Xue Jingjiang said lightly, "I remember that Prime Minister Dou has been in jail. How come this has become a capital to show off?"
Dou Aiyan was furious and suddenly turned around, seeing that the person speaking was actually Xue Jingjiang.
The anger that filled his stomach suddenly became stuck, stuck in his body, just like a pile of black gunpowder that was on the verge of exploding, but was suddenly doused with cold water, and black smoke rose into the sky, which only poisoned himself.
She knew Xue Jingjiang.
When her father was still Prime Minister, the Xue family still had friendly relations with their family.
It's just that she didn't know Xue Jingjiang very well. Her sister Dou Qingyan and Xue Jingjiang used to play together often.
Thinking of his sister, Dou Aiyan's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty.
She will not die silently like her sister!
Xue Jingjiang caught a glimpse of the unpredictable expression on Dou Aiyan's face, as if he had opened a paint shop, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, all seven colors available, which was very interesting.
He bowed slightly and said, "Miss Dou Er, didn't you drop out of the law department of University B? Did you study abroad later?"
Before Dou Aiyan could think of what to say, Guo Huining had already rushed to say: "Prime Minister Dou made a mistake, but our society does not tolerate coexistence. The mistake made by Prime Minister Dou has nothing to do with Dou Aiyan."
"After Dou Aiyan dropped out of the law department of University B, he went to Oxford University in England to continue his undergraduate degree there. He is now a senior and works as an intern at Carlyle Investment Co., Ltd. Basically, he has been hired by Carlyle Investment Co., Ltd. Trainee lawyer in the legal department.”
Guo Huining took the opportunity to introduce the only male at their table, "This is Mr. Jia from Carlyle Investment Co., Ltd. Mr. Jia is the deputy director of the securities underwriting department and the main contact person for our Hong Group's listing."
"Finally, Carlyle Investment Co., Ltd. is the world's largest distributor of investment securities. Our Hong Group went through several rounds of selection before choosing to cooperate with Carlyle Investment Co., Ltd."
Hong Ziqi's face brightened slightly, he nodded to Mr. Jia and said, "Hello, I'd like to thank you for the company's affairs."
"Easy to say, in business terms, Hong's Group is indeed a high-quality asset that deserves to be listed and provide more benefits to shareholders." Mr. Jia laughed in an official tone.
After a few words of greeting, Hong Ziqi called Guo Huining to the small office on the other side of the lobby, closed the door, and asked: "Huining, what happened today?"
Also coming in with them were two waiters in red and blue vests, and Xue Jingjiang, who seemed to be watching the fun.
Guo Huining looked a little uncomfortable, coughed, and said, "How about we go to the room inside to talk in detail?"
She didn't want to lose face in front of her employees and Xue Jingjiang.
Hong Ziqi disagreed, raised his head and said, "I'll just say it here to facilitate your confrontation."
"I won't just believe one side of the story. So I need your confessions to corroborate each other."
Guo Huining twitched his lips.
Still giving a confession
This unlearned playboy has been with her for so many years, and he also understands the law
However, Hong Ziqi could not give her face, but she had to give Hong Ziqi face.
She couldn't speak her true words.
After being embarrassed for a while, Guo Huining said: "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just invited three investment bank friends outside to dinner today. One of them said that the scenery here is good, so I remembered that we have reserved seats here, so I took him They're coming."
Hong Ziqi glanced at the waiter in the red vest and said, "Didn't she tell you that I had already arranged this reserved seat for someone else?"
The waiter in the red vest said quickly: "Young Master Hong, I told you. I told her specifically."
She did not dare to point directly at Guo Huining, but looked at the waiter in the blue vest.
In fact, at the beginning, it was the waiter in a blue vest who came over to ask Gu Nianzhi and the others to give up their seats.
Hong Ziqi raised his chin towards the waiter in the blue vest, "Tell me, what's going on? Don't you know that my seat has already been reserved for someone else?"
The waiter in the blue vest panicked. She didn't know that the people on that seat were so popular...
He hurriedly excused himself and said: "...I told Miss Guo, and Miss Guo said she would come and see if they had finished eating..."
Guo Huining understood and continued: "Yes, she told me. I heard that the three people had almost eaten, so I came over to have a look, hoping they could adjust it. I also said that I would keep this meal. The result... the result …”
The grievances in her heart filled her heart, and her eye circles turned red again. "But Gu Nianzhi spoke as if he had taken some medicine. It was obviously a very small matter, and it had to be a big deal. If she doesn't want to let it go, I won't let it. I didn’t chase her away, but she was completely unreasonable, threw away the menu and left.”
It sounds reasonable, but Mr. Huo's fiancée is too squeamish.
Hong Ziqi hesitated, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Miss Gu is not very old. I remember she was still in college two years ago, right? You are already thirty, why can't you be more considerate and considerate? Why bother to let her come over? Let her give up her seat?"
Guo Huining was shaking with anger.
The two most taboo things for a woman are calling her fat and calling her old.
She gritted her teeth and said with a pinched neck: "Isn't it for the sake of the company? How many years have you said the group has been preparing for an overseas listing? Don't you know how important it is to find a good foreign securities underwriter? If you don't do it, We have a good relationship, can you and I afford the company’s losses?!”
Hong Ziqi's arrogance shrank, and his heart turned towards Guo Huining.
Xue Jingjiang, who was nearby, seemed to have a clear mind, and said with a half-smile: "After all, Director Guo just thinks that people like Miss Gu are not as important as your investment bank friends, right?"
Guo Huining thought, that's the truth, but if you say it so carelessly, wouldn't it make me look stupid
She smiled and said: "You can't say that, Jingjiang, you don't know something. When it comes to overseas listings, securities underwriters are so important. They can almost influence half of the decisions of foreign securities regulatory commissions. We have to be cautious..."
It's as if Xue Jingjiang doesn't understand what overseas listing means.
Xue Jingjiang sneered, shook his head, and said: "Director Guo, I didn't say that foreign securities underwriters are not important, but just the few people you invited today, how important can they be in Carlyle Investment Co., Ltd.? That deputy That's all. The other chief analyst is from the Pacific Rim region. And Dou Aiyan is just an intern, and you probably don't know that she has a personal grudge with Gu Nianzhi, right?"
"Did she say that the scenery here is good and encourage you to change seats today?"
Guo Huining hesitated.
It was indeed Dou Aiyan who brought it up today. The other two had no objection. She agreed in a fit of enthusiasm.
I don't regret it now, but I didn't think about how serious it was. I just felt that I had lost face in front of Hong Ziqi.
"...If you don't deny it, I'll take it as your acquiescence." Xue Jingjiang shrugged, "From here, I know that you must have ignored it today."
Guo Huining was anxious, "Why did we ignore it? I told you, I just saw that they were almost done eating..."
Seeing that Guo Huining was still confused at this time, Xue Jingjiang didn't want to tangle with her anymore, so he interrupted her without hesitation and said: "Director Guo, don't play word games with me. The person you offended is not me, but me." There’s no point in explaining.”
"I just want to remind you that Dou Aiyan's personal grudges with Gu Nianzhi and Mr. Huo are not as serious as usual. Whenever she instigates you, if you listen to her, you are falling into her trap. If you don't believe me, we'll see."
After saying that, he turned to Hong Ziqi and said, "Master Hong, I just want to remind you that Master Huo now looks at his little fiancée like a ball in his eye, and he can't bear the slightest grievance. Besides, don't you know, then Gu Nianzhi is quite capable herself. She is now the chief legal advisor of the Upper House of Parliament, and is Speaker Long’s favorite successor... "
Hong Ziqi suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, "What?! Is Gu Nianzhi so successful?!"
Guo Huining was also shocked and said in a voice: "This is impossible! How could Gu Nianzhi become the chief legal adviser of the Upper House of Parliament just a few years ago?! Speaker Long really didn't give her a backdoor position to gain favors for the sake of the Huo family's face. ?!”
"Chief Legal Adviser of the House of Lords, do you think this highly exposed position can be given and accepted privately on the basis of favors?"
Xue Jingjiang glanced at the couple with disdain.
It’s really not a family, don’t enter the same door.
They are all equally ignorant and arrogant.
He finally understood why the Hong family had been reluctant to allow two people to get married and get a license to hold a wedding.
Which boyfriend and girlfriend have been engaged for so many years and still not get married
It was obvious that he was still dissatisfied with Guo Huining.
If it weren't for Hong Ziqi himself being a bit stupid and having no other major problems, and if he and Xue Jingjiang had a good relationship for so many years, Xue Jingjiang would not bother to remind them.
He patted Hong Ziqi's shoulder and said cautiously: "Don't say that my brother didn't remind you, quickly prepare a generous gift and send it to Gu Nianzhi, asking her to be kind and forgive Director Guo for being confused. Otherwise, just wait. …”
Still thinking about listing overseas
Just wait for the domestic liquidation...
Guo Huining's face became more and more ugly, and he couldn't help but say: "The Huo family is very powerful, but they can't get into trouble with commercial companies like us, right? Besides, they are powerful, but if they really want to use their power to attack us, won't we?" Go report it? Can those supervisory departments watch these powerful people suppress us ordinary people?"
"If they dare to do this, I will go online and let everyone comment!"
This implies that she will use public opinion to fight against the Huo family.
Xue Jingjiang thought to himself, of course the Huo family will not have trouble with your Hong family over this trivial matter. You haven't reached that position yet.
But whether Huo Shaoheng will support his young fiancée is something no one can say.
In addition, Gu Nianzhi herself was very energetic, and Xue Jingjiang was not sure whether Gu Nianzhi would vent her anger on her own behalf and harm the Hong family.
At this time, he didn't know that there was a maniac behind Gu Nianzhi who only considered the abilities of Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
Besides, it was obvious that Guo Huining didn't care about this matter, but she repeatedly acted like "I'm weak and I'm right", and she was drunk even though she was bullying the strong by relying on the weak.
If the egg hits the stone on purpose, do you really think the stone is made of tofu
Xue Jingjiang stopped explaining and said to Hong Ziqi: "Young Master Hong, this is what I have to say. You can take care of yourself."
…
At this time, in the parking lot of Hong's Hotel, Huo Shaoheng chased him out and saw Gu Nianzhi leaning on the car door with his hands behind his back, his head lowered, and one foot kicking the pebbles in the parking lot.
Chen Chen and Ma Qiqi were beside her, as if talking to comfort her.
Looking at this small picture, I feel really wronged.
Huo Shaoheng walked over calmly and handed her the car keys, "... let's go home."
