When Vladimir, who was in China, saw the mail, it was on Monday evening, at dusk.
The most uncomfortable day of the week is Monday after get off work.
The laziness of the weekend is still imprinted in my bones, but what I am facing is a whole week of inability to relax.
Office workers are generally not in a good mood at this time. Many people are used to going to bars or restaurants after get off work on Monday to relax and recuperate before engaging in a busy week of work.
Vladimir is currently semi-working. He and his driver Ivan are currently sitting in an open-air bar on the Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital, each holding a mobile phone and playing a game of grabbing red envelopes with Gu Nianzhi.
Even if they can only get a few dollars, they still grab it with gusto.
Gu Nianzhi was waiting for dinner in the dining room of Huo Shaoheng's official residence. While Huo Shaoheng was talking to Lu Jian, he was chatting with Vladimir and the others on his mobile phone and sending out red envelopes.
She handed out a series of red envelopes, deliberately setting it to only two people to see who had the faster hand.
As a result, she and the driver Ivan fought many times without seeing Vladimir take action. She was a little surprised and quietly chatted with the driver Ivan: [Uncle driver, what happened to the second in command?].
The driver Ivan looked over and replied: [Looking at the email, maybe it's his lover, you know, so focused, it's like seeing the lover's eyes.].
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
Such art is not the style of the driver!
She waited for a while, and when she was about to ask, Vladimir took the initiative to chat with her privately: [... Cereus, are you familiar with the name Song Haichuan?].
Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"
Is it the "Song Haichuan" she is familiar with
Gu Nianzhi blinked and replied cautiously: [Which Song Haichuan? You must know that there are many people with the same name and surname in China, and this name is not a unique name, such as 'Big Ivan'...].
Vladimir texted a string of ellipses: […], and then called her directly.
"Cereus, you know which Song Haichuan I'm talking about, the Song Haichuan who is related to your fiancé."
Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath, "Are you talking about my fiancé's grandfather, Song Haichuan? The former director of the China Institute of High Energy Physics?"
"Yes, that's him. Do you know him? Or, in other words, does your fiancé know him?" Vladimir frowned at the email, thought for a moment, and forwarded it to Gu Nianzhi, "I sent it to you An email, please read it and give it to your fiancé."
"What's going on? It's mysterious..." Gu Nianzhi muttered and clicked on the email forwarded by Vladimir.
Just before she glanced twice, her eyebrows couldn't help but jump.
What's the matter!
It was obviously their cooperation, but now there is a faint tendency to shoot themselves in the foot.
Gu Nianzhi was so confused that she joked with Vladimir and the driver Ivan for a few words, then said that she was going to eat and said goodbye to them both.
He walked into the kitchen with his mobile phone. Lu Jian happened to come out. Seeing her expression of worry, he asked curiously: "What's wrong? Are you hungry? Can I get you some snacks?"
Lu Jin, like Gu Nianzhi, has a bad temper when he is hungry.
As long as you are full, everything is easy to discuss.
Gu Nianzhi twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Dad, you go and wait first, I will serve the food."
"Okay!" Lu Jin smiled and nodded, "I'll go outside and take a look."
After he went out, Gu Nianzhi came to Huo Shaoheng and asked in a low voice: "Master Huo, how much do you know about your grandfather, Mr. Song Haichuan?"
Huo Shaoheng was taking the vegetables out of the pot. He paused and said, "It's okay. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly interested in my grandfather?"
"I just want to ask, isn't your grandfather a physicist? Can he also write code?" Gu Nianzhi said, forwarding Vladimir's email to Huo Shaoheng, and then gave him his mobile phone Look, "Here, this is it. Isn't it shocking?"
Huo Shaoheng glanced at it and felt a little bit in his heart, but he was relatively calm and could not tell it at all on the surface. He said casually: "You have to ask Ms. Song about this."
Gu Nianzhi suddenly realized it and patted his forehead, "That's right! I just thought of asking you. How old were you at that time? I'm sure Ms. Song knows more!"
Huo Shaoheng came to his senses, calmed down, put the dishes on the plate, and took them to the restaurant with Gu Nianzhi for dinner.
Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi were still full of praise for their food. Huo Shaoheng kept smiling, but his mind was already far away.
This matter was a setup set up by their agency in cooperation with the Russian KGB. Like Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng did not expect that this matter could be related to his grandfather Song Haichuan, who passed away nineteen years ago.
He felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he was unwilling to think about the whole thing from a preconceived position.
After dinner, Lu Jin asked Gu Nianzhi to go back to his official residence next door. Gu Nianzhi thought about the email and waved to Lu Jin with a smile, "Dad, I want to go with Mr. Huo to see Ms. Song and Mr. Lu. "
"Ah? Oh..." Lu Jin waved his hand, "Then you go ahead, I won't go. I'm doing an experiment these days and it's almost finished. I have to make the final observation records."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go home later."
"Don't be too late, you have to go to work tomorrow." Lu Jin conscientiously showed his responsibility as a father. In fact, if Gu Nianzhi stayed in bed, he would not stop him at all.
"I know, Dad, you should go to bed early." Gu Nianzhi sent him out with a smile.
Huo Shaoheng followed him out and parked his car directly on the road near the entrance of the official residence.
After Gu Nianzhi came out, the two quickly drove to Lu Yuan's villa in Xishan.
It was already dark outside, but it was still early, it was less than eight o'clock, and there were not many cars on the road. It only took the two of them half an hour to arrive at the villa in Luyuan Xishan.
On the way, Gu Nianzhi had already called to confirm that Lu Yuan and Song Jinning were both at home.
The two of them had just finished dinner and were planning to go for a walk on the mountain road. They took a walk after eating.
After receiving Gu Nianzhi's call, Lu Yuan could hear the uneasiness and urgency in her tone, and said with a smile, "Okay, come here, Jin Ning and I will make tea and wait for you."
Not long after, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng were sitting in the study room of Luyuan Villa.
There was a straw coffee table in front of the four of them. There were ancient Kung Fu teacups on the coffee table. Song Jinning was boiling water and sifting tea next to it.
"What's the matter in such a hurry?" Lu Yuan asked with concern, passing tea to Gu Nianzhi, "Drink some tea and calm down."
Gu Nianzhi took a sip of tea, looked at Huo Shaoheng, frowned and said, "Master Huo, did you say it or did I say it?"
Huo Shaoheng sat upright with a serious look on his face.
He looked at Song Jinning, first took out Gu Nianzhi's cell phone, cut off the beginning and end of the email and took a screenshot, then laid it out for Song Jinning and Lu Yuan to see.
"Ms. Song, I would like to ask what my grandfather did before entering the Institute of High Energy Physics?"
