Zhang Baochen was a little surprised when he heard this, and said more humbly: "This is because Admiral Huo is open-minded and does not have the same knowledge as people like us. Besides, we also know that we were wrong back then, so my mother will not say it. A son does not dislike his mother." Ugly, a dog doesn’t mind a poor family, so we can only do what we can to atone for my mother’s sins.”
Huo Guanchen nodded, his expression softened and his mood improved a lot, "I know that you have been very concerned about me for the past year and a half."
The two of them said that and walked to Mr. Huo's ward together.
Zhang Baochen put down his small leather bag, called the nurse, and asked diligently about Mr. Huo's recent condition.
Seeing Huo Guanchen here, the little nurse did not dare to neglect, and said with great concern: "Mr. Huo's condition is neither good nor bad. Our hospital has also sent the best doctors to take care of Mr. Huo. During this time , Mr. Huo’s condition has not worsened.”
"It's not getting worse? Is there any possibility of getting better?!" Zhang Baochen asked eagerly.
He had lived a really hard life over the past year and a half. Although he wanted to atone for his mother's sins, more than anything, he still hoped that Mr. Huo could wake up from his vegetative state.
Their family's only hope is the sleeping Mr. Huo.
As long as Mr. Huo wakes up, their family will be able to make progress.
In the end, the little nurse just shook her head and said euphemistically: "... I'm not sure about this, but judging from the current situation, there is no change for the time being."
Zhang Baochen was extremely disappointed, but he didn't ask any more questions. He went to the bathroom alone to wash his hands, and then came out to give Mr. Huo a leg massage.
After lying in the hospital for a year and a half, he was getting older and his muscles had begun to atrophy.
Huo Guanchen watched for a while, feeling uncomfortable, and said, "Bao Chen, you're busy, I'll leave first."
Zhang Baochen hurriedly turned around and said, "Please walk slowly."
He was the only one left in the ward to take care of Mr. Huo.
Zhang Baochen looked at Mr. Huo's shrunken body and said sadly: "Dad, when will you wake up? With you like this, Wenjie and Wenna have no future... They are still young. Unlike me, they are already old. This There is no hope in this life..."
He sincerely hoped that Mr. Huo would wake up soon and stop Huo Shaoheng from continuing to cause trouble for the Zhang family.
In the past year and a half, both Zhang Wenjie and Zhang Wenna have been dismissed from the state agencies where they worked. The reason was that they failed to pass the political review.
How come there were no problems with the political review before
Now there is a problem with the political review, and it is obviously Huo Shaoheng who is causing trouble.
Zhang Baochen knew what Huo Shaoheng did before.
He kept his head down and stayed in Mr. Huo's ward all afternoon. It was almost dark before he left the Military General Hospital.
But not long after he got in the car, he received a call.
"Are you Mr. Zhang Baochenzhang?"
He hummed, "I am, who are you?"
"I am Guo Huining, the director of the legal department of Hong's Group. I would like to have a meal with you and I want to talk to you about something. Is it convenient for you?" Guo Huining said attentively on the phone, "I know you don't know me. , but I know Mr. Huo and have had two meals with him. I am also very familiar with Mr. Huo’s little boy, Xue Jingjiang. If you don’t believe it, you can call Xue Jingjiang’s number.”
Guo Huining reported Xue Jingjiang's phone number.
Zhang Baochen has lived in the Huo family for more than ten years, how could he not know about Xue Jingjiang, one of Huo Shaoheng's childhood friends
Seeing that this Guo Huining even knew Xue Jingjiang's phone number, he had already believed most of it. After careful consideration, he said, "Okay, you can set a time."
Guo Huining said hurriedly: "Tomorrow is Friday, how about tomorrow afternoon? I will send a car to pick you up, and I have reserved a seat at the Chengnan Mansion."
Chengnan Mansion is a newly opened garden villa-style hotel in the imperial capital. Not only is the price extremely high, but it also has a membership system, which generally means that wealthy people cannot enter.
This was the first time for Zhang Baochen to hear the name of this hotel, but when he heard it, he felt very dignified. He immediately agreed, "See you tomorrow then."
Then asked: "Do you know my address?"
Guo Huining smiled and said, "Can you send me your address?"
Zhang Baochen shared his address and went home.
When he got home and had dinner, he talked to his family about tomorrow's meal.
His son Zhang Wenjie and his daughter Zhang Wenna looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Dad, who is this person? He can't be a liar, right?"
Zhang Baochen gave a bitter smile, took a sip of mung bean porridge, and said, "Liar? 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?"
He chuckled: "Maybe I can get a meal from him. - Chengnan Mansion, it sounds very good."
Zhang Wenjie and Zhang Wenna checked the information about Chengnan Mansion on the Internet, and then said happily: "Dad! You are right! Even if this person is a liar, he is also a liar who can make money! You go and have a meal, you won't lose anything!"
…
When the lanterns first came on, the night in the imperial capital was quiet and peaceful.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng came to Ms. Song's apartment with a bottle of red wine and rang the doorbell.
Song Jinning opened the door, looked at Gu Nianzhi and said with a smile, "Nianzhi, you're here. I've been wanting to talk to you for the past few days, but I thought you just came back and needed to rest more, so I didn't fight."
Gu Nianzhi gave her a big hug, blushed and said with a guilty conscience: "Ms. Song, I miss you too... But I just came back and I'm really a little tired, so... "
"I know, that's why I didn't call you." Song Jinning said affectionately, holding her hand and walking into the house together, while taking a look at Huo Shaoheng who came in with him, "Shao Heng looks pretty good."
Huo Shaoheng: "..."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
Fortunately, Lu Jin came out to rescue them, "Nian Zhi is coming!"
When he saw his baby daughter for the first time, he walked over with great joy, hugged her, then looked her up and down, and kept saying: "I have lost weight, I have lost weight, eat more today!"
Gu Nianzhi hugged Lu Jin's arm, rubbed it, and said happily: "Dad, I just love to hear you say that I lost weight!"
Lu Jin laughed happily, glanced at Huo Shaoheng from the corner of his eye, and said perfunctorily: "Master Huo is here too. You talk to your mother, and I'll talk to my daughter."
After saying that, he couldn't help but pull Gu Nianzhi away.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at Song Jinning, and Song Jinning patted him on the shoulder, suppressing a smile and said, "Lu Jin is a very interesting person, and he is very knowledgeable. Shaoheng, don't be so serious. I haven't seen my father and daughter for several days. Now, It’s normal to talk together.”
This elbow is almost broken, right
Huo Shaoheng was used to it. He looked around the room calmly and changed the subject: "Ms. Song, I'm not angry. But why do you have so many extra luggage here? Are the guest rooms already occupied?"
Song Jinning smiled broadly, "Lu Yuan and Lu Jin's houses were being renovated, and they had no place to live for a while, so they came to live with me first. Anyway, I'm often not at home, so I let them live first. It's more convenient for me to work in the Institute of Physics." .”
Huo Shaoheng: "..."
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Yuan called out from the kitchen: "Director Song, do you still have a cutting board?"
Song Jinning hurriedly agreed: "Yes, I'll help you find it."
With that said, he walked quickly to the kitchen.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the strange harmony and understanding between the two people speechlessly, rubbed his forehead with his hands, walked to the balcony, looked at the bright and crystal night of the imperial capital, took out his mobile phone, and called Xue Jingjiang.
Xue Jingjiang had just finished dinner and was reading some materials on commercial mergers and acquisitions in his room.
Hearing the phone ringing, he glanced at it and found that it was Huo Shaoheng's number, which was rare...
He immediately threw away the materials in his hand, opened the phone and connected it, and said with a smile: "Master Huo? Is it really you? My jaw almost dropped to the ground!"
Huo Shaoheng stood on the balcony, his hands were a little itchy, and he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but after thinking about it again, his eyes darkened, and he twisted his fingers a few times, then he stood on the balcony and asked: "Master Xue, have you had dinner?"
"I just finished eating. What's wrong? Want to have another meal with me? I'll accompany you!" Xue Jingjiang said happily, "Help me up! I can still eat!"
Huo Shaoheng chuckled, ignored Xue Jingjiang's joke, and said with a smile: "I want to ask you, what happened after we left Hong's Hotel today?"
Xue Jingjiang took it for granted that Gu Nianzhi should have already acted coquettishly to Huo Shaoheng and complained about what happened in the hotel.
He then frowned and said, "What happened today is indeed that Young Master Hong and his fiancée are dishonest. Young Master Hong has already given the reserved seat, but she insists on interfering in it and letting someone else give up her seat. Why don't we talk about it properly?" Who can stand this arrogant look?"
Huo Shaoheng said "Oh" and said lightly: "So that's it. I wonder why you are so angry."
Xue Jingjiang was stunned for a moment, "Miss Gu didn't tell you what happened?"
"No." Huo Shaoheng shook his head, "She didn't mention a word, so I didn't ask."
"Really!" Xue Jingjiang patted his forehead, smiled and stretched out his thumb and said: "Then I have to evaluate my sister-in-law again. She is young, but she is still so sensible, and she is not born in a group of men's buddies. She is indeed a rare good girl!"
Even Guo Huining, a man who has been immersed in the workplace for more than ten years, cannot match this kind of self-cultivation.
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips and rarely boasted: "That's right, it doesn't matter who he grew up with."
Xue Jingjiang, a single dog of ten thousand years, suddenly suffered a critical hit of 100,000 points!
"Master Huo! Look how proud you are!" Xue Jingjiang couldn't help but sneered, "I can tell you, you hold your sister-in-law in the palm of your hand, and others may not. Otherwise, how could someone like Guo Huining think that he is an investment banker? Those three melons and two dates are more important than the guests that Mr. Hong wants to entertain!"
"If you don't think they are more important, why would you ask your sister-in-law to give up your seat?"
Huo Shaoheng's eyes flickered and he said calmly: "Really? Which investment bank are they all in? Who are they?"
There was nothing special about his tone, and his meaning seemed to be very simple.
But Xue Jingjiang felt goosebumps when he heard it.
"... Mr. Huo, what do you mean? Do you want to punish these blind people?" Xue Jingjiang asked tentatively with a smile.
My heart was filled with turmoil.
He had never seen Huo Shaoheng using public affairs for personal gain, using his power to punish those who had personal problems with him.
Is this going to be an exception? !
Xue Jingjiang suddenly became very excited.
Huo Shaoheng denied it lightly: "What are you thinking about? Am I the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between public and private matters?"
"But when someone bullied me as a woman, I didn't even ask. Or was it a man? - When someone slapped me, you have to know who the slapper was, right?"
"Actually, this matter has nothing to do with the investment bank." Xue Jingjiang thought about it carefully, "The main reason is that Mr. Hong's fiancée is unreliable, but she didn't seem to recognize Miss Gu at the beginning. You have a lot of money, don't fight. It’s too cruel. Those who don’t know are not guilty…”
Huo Shaoheng laughed softly, "You haven't said yet who those people at the investment bank are and which investment bank they are from."
Seeing Huo Shaoheng's reluctance, Xue Jingjiang had no choice but to say: "Actually, this investment bank may not be completely innocent."
He named the three people: "One is Yi Xinyan, Carlyle's chief analyst for the Pacific Rim region. One is Deputy Director Jia, who is in charge of securities underwriting. The other one is the sister of an old acquaintance of yours and mine."
Xue Jingjiang paused and then said: "... Dou Aiyan."
Huo Shaoheng changed his hand to hold the phone, "Is it her?"
"Well, so it's more likely that Guo Huining was instigated. She might not have recognized who Miss Gu was at first." Xue Jingjiang analyzed honestly, "And Dou Aiyan definitely doesn't know who Miss Gu is."
Huo Shaoheng nodded, "That makes sense. But why did Dou Aiyan suddenly return to China? I remember that after the case of her sister and her father, she was sponsored by her aunt to go abroad?"
"Yes, she went abroad, isn't she back? Through her uncle's relationship, she worked as an intern at Carlyle." Xue Jingjiang raked his hair with his hands, frowned and said, "What do you think? Why did she do it on purpose? Targeting Miss Gu?"
"What do you think?" Huo Shaoheng finally snorted, feeling a little emotional, "It's such an obvious provocation, don't say you didn't see it."
Xue Jingjiang chuckled, "It's not that I didn't see it, I just didn't think her provocation was of any use. You think, at most, she is like a toad jumping on people's feet. She can't scare people but still disgust them, right?"
"Besides, the performance of the Dou family and the Yan family in the past two years can only be described as being a person with their tail between their legs. Do you think they will be bold enough to deliberately provoke you?"
"Then you mean, this is Dou Aiyan's behavior alone?" Huo Shaoheng slowly walked around on the balcony, gazing and thinking: "I don't think so."
"First, Dou Aiyan is only a senior in college, but she was able to join Carlyle as an intern. Carlyle is not an ordinary company in the international investment community. I don't think her uncle has such great energy."
"Second, Dou Aiyan pretended not to know Nianzhi, but it was impossible for Nianzhi not to remember her, and she also knew that Gu Nianzhi would not forget her, but she still took action."
"Thirdly, Dou Aiyan became an intern, but she didn't behave well. Instead, she took advantage of the opportunity and provoked Nianzhi. She really thought that if she made Nianzhi feel uncomfortable, I wouldn't know who she was? Would I stand by and watch? She, as a former Dou The Prime Minister’s daughter doesn’t even have this level of political sensitivity?”
"Fourth, if she has considered all these situations and still does it, and it is not a sudden brain twitch, then there must be someone behind her."
Huo Shaoheng finally concluded: "... This matter is not over yet. We can wait and see what happens."
