Gu Nianzhi lowered his head and whispered to Speaker Long: "President Long, General Huo is here too. I'll go say hello to him."
Speaker Long frowned, "Admiral Huo? You mean Shao Heng's father?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "I think he came with a friend of his. I'll go ask what's going on."
Soldiers rarely appear on such occasions, so Huo Guanchen is wearing a military uniform and the gold star on his shoulder looks particularly dazzling.
Speaker Long was talking back to someone just now and didn't see it with his own eyes.
When he turned around, Huo Guanchen had already walked back to the small reception room.
"Then you go and take a look." Speaker Long raised his hand and said helplessly: "I said you don't have to come, but you must come. Look, won't you make yourself unhappy? Come over after you finish speaking. I happened to see a few friends, and I wanted to introduce them to you."
Chairman Long really wanted to train her to be his successor, so he spared no effort to share his circle of friends and connections with her to familiarize her with the scope of his work.
Gu Nianzhi smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Speaker Long. I'll be back soon."
She came here just for Huo Guanchen, why would she give up this opportunity
Leaving Speaker Long, Gu Nianzhi walked towards the small reception room with two assistants and two security personnel.
The apparent reason why she came to this Christmas party today was for business, not personal reasons, so there were still a lot of people around her, and they all came in the style of the Chief Legal Adviser of the House of Lords.
When Gu Nianzhi led his people into the small reception room, he did not miss the look of disgust on Guo Huining's face.
But that was only a moment. Guo Huining had returned to normal, and said with a friendly smile: "Nianzhi, are you here too? Is Shao Heng here?"
As he spoke, he poked his head outside the door, as if searching.
Gu Nianzhi nodded politely towards her, but did not answer. Instead, he looked at Huo Guanchen and said with a smile: "Admiral Huo, I really didn't expect to meet you here."
Before Huo Guanchen could speak, Guo Huining had already called out, "Nianzhi, why are you talking to Mr. Huo? You are the fiancée of Mr. Huo's only son. Could it be that Mr. Huo can't afford to call you uncle?"
Gu Nianzhi then glanced at Guo Huining and said calmly: "I'm here today for business, not for private matters. We don't care about relatives in public."
She said that there was no problem at all in addressing Huo Guanchen by his military rank.
Guo Huining blushed at being overtaken by Gu Nianzhi. She subconsciously looked at Huo Guanchen and whispered, "Mr. Huo, have I caused trouble for you?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't wait for Huo Guanchen to answer, interrupted Guo Huining, and continued: "Admiral Huo, are you coming to this party for business or for personal reasons?"
Huo Guanchen didn't seem to notice the undercurrent between the two women. He just smiled and said, "Chief Gu is here for business, but I am here for personal reasons."
He looked at Guo Huining beside him, with a hint of pity in his tone, and said: "Huining's friend invited her, and she asked me to accompany her. But I only have twenty minutes, and I have to go back to the meeting again. "
Guo Huining then straightened up his chest and said confidently: "Nianzhi, Mr. Huo doesn't even have his own private time, right?"
"Of course, so I'm just asking. Miss Guo, what's the point of being so tense with me? Have I ever offended you?" Gu Nianzhi didn't bother to beat around the bush with her and asked directly.
Guo Huining was irritated by Gu Nianzhi's attitude and tone, not to mention that she kept asking if she had offended her!
sky! Doesn't driving her out of the Hong Group count as offending her? !
Guo Huining laughed dryly, "Only you know whether you have offended me or not."
"I really don't know." Gu Nianzhi glanced at her calmly, "Miss Guo, you have offended me before and have not officially apologized to me yet. But forget it, since you are Admiral Huo's personal friend, before Let me cancel the matter with you, and I will not make it difficult for General Huo."
Guo Huining originally wanted to be angry, but when she thought about it again, Gu Nianzhi's words seemed to acknowledge the relationship between her and Huo Guanchen, and she suddenly felt happy again. The anger just now was like a balloon being pricked by a needle. The child leaked out.
She smiled brightly and said hurriedly: "It was indeed my fault last time, and I will formally apologize to you now!"
Gu Nianzhi twitched the corner of his mouth, said nothing, nodded towards Huo Guanchen, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Admiral Huo's vision is as bad as ever."
"...What does it have to do with you?" Huo Guanchen said in a deep voice, "Since Huining doesn't like to see you, don't show up here in the future and don't go back?! Do you want me to call Shao Heng?!"
With that said, he took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed Huo Shaoheng's number.
Not only was Gu Nianzhi stunned, but even Guo Huining couldn't believe his ears.
Huo Guanchen actually slapped Gu Nianzhi in the face for her sake!
He really is sincere to her...
Guo Huining almost cried with joy.
Gu Nianzhi quickly came to his senses, and with a serious face, he said, "Admiral Huo, what do you mean? I'm here for official business, why can't I do it?"
"It's not impossible, but if you speak rudely to Huining, I can't tolerate you." Huo Guanchen changed his previous ambiguous attitude and actually publicly supported Guo Huining.
Guo Huining felt sorry for herself, and quickly tugged on the sleeves of Huo Guanchen's military uniform, and whispered: "Guanchen, don't be like this, I didn't mean to say it. Besides, I am a few years older than her, and even if she disrespects me, I won't let her go." In my heart.”
"You don't take it to heart, it's because you are generous. But she can't have the attitude she should have." Huo Guanchen said, putting his hands on Guo Huining's shoulders, glaring at Gu Nianzhi and saying, "Huining doesn't like to see you. From now on, Wherever she appears, you cannot appear!"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
… Is it a fake show, or is it too much force
Gu Nianzhi found that he couldn't figure out Huo Guanchen's background either.
She took a deep look at Guo Huining, turned around and left without saying a word.
I was on edge, but I didn't go far when I received a call from Huo Shaoheng.
She walked to the window and picked up the phone, "... Mr. Huo?"
Huo Shaoheng's voice was as deep and magnetic as ever. It came from the phone and could make her ears tremble just by the sound of it.
"Nianzhi, are you having a conflict with Admiral Huo?"
"... How could I..." Gu Nianzhi curled his lips, "I was just given a one-sided punishment."
She looked at the transparent floor-to-ceiling window in front of her and scratched the window twice habitually with her fingers.
Because it was a Christmas party, the colored light bulbs circled around the window sill emitted colorful flashing lights. The window could not be used as a mirror at night like before.
So after a while, Gu Nianzhi saw an elegant and handsome man standing not far from her in the reflection of the window, looking in her direction and smiling.
She turned around and saw that the man had already walked over.
