"Well, go ahead and do your work." Huo Shaoheng paused, "I'm hanging up." After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
Gu Nianzhi said "hello" anxiously several times, and then found that Huo Shaoheng hung up the phone neatly, and sighed speechlessly.
For Mr. Huo, loving children is really not his strong point...
Gu Nianzhi smiled and put the phone into his backpack, then went downstairs with the backpack on his back.
…
Huo Shaoheng put his cell phone on the small coffee table next to him, closed his eyes and lay on the wicker chair in trance.
It was not yet the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the night in the imperial capital was very cold, but Huo Shaoheng did not feel cold at all.
He lay on the wicker chair and closed his eyes to meditate. The cold air kept his mind calm and allowed him to think about problems without being disturbed by external objects.
Many things were lingering in his mind, seemingly irrelevant and unconnected, but he always vaguely felt that there was an invisible thread that connected seemingly unrelated people or things.
But he couldn't figure out what result this connection would lead to.
But he didn't have much time. If he didn't have any clues, he might no longer be able to control everything about Gu Nianzhi, and he might have to hand her over.
His fingers tapped unconsciously on the wicker chair, and the clicking sound rang rhythmically in the night sky.
…
Gu Nianzhi carried a backpack and hurriedly walked on the road of University B.
She recognized the location of the professor's building where He Zhichu was, and within ten minutes, she ran down to the professor's building.
She told the guard He Zhichu's name. The guard asked her to sign and then said, "Professor He is waiting for your meeting."
Gu Nianzhi was stunned and asked, "Are you waiting for me alone?"
"Well, I just called and asked if you were here."
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly rushed into the elevator, secretly thinking that the meeting had been postponed because of a doctoral student? Why are they all here before half past eight
What a cheat...
Gu Nianzhi muttered in his mind and took the elevator to the 28th floor.
He Zhichu's room is to the left of the elevator entrance.
When Gu Nianzhi came out of the elevator, he saw He Zhichu talking on the phone in the corridor.
He stood facing the elevator entrance, wearing a very casual light blue cashmere pullover, revealing the white shirt collar underneath, and dark brown trousers. The slit of the trousers was as straight as if it had been cut with a paper knife. His hands were in his trouser pockets, and he was holding a mobile phone in one hand. His expression was very cold, his cold lips were tightly pursed, and he had a stern demeanor.
Gu Nianzhi smiled coquettishly and said hello softly: "...Professor He."
As soon as Gu Nianzhi came out of the elevator, He Zhichu saw her.
He picked up the phone and turned around to look at her. His peach blossom eyes were calm, and there was no longer any tension like the last time the two of them got along.
Gu Nianzhi calmed down a little and said, "Professor He, am I not late?"
She raised her wrist and looked at her watch, "It's just half past eight, a little after."
He Zhichu caught a glimpse of her watch and was stunned for a full minute before saying, "...your watch looks very unique."
Gu Nianzhi touched her wrist, quietly pulled down the sleeves of her dress, covered her watch, and said, "It's okay, it's a gift from someone else. I wanted it because it looked elegant. ."
A sharp look flashed in He Zhichu's eyes. Before Gu Nianzhi raised his head, He Zhichu's eyes had returned to indifference. He turned and walked to his room, "Come in, I'll wait for you alone."
Gu Nianzhi trotted to follow him, not too far away from He Zhichu, with a bright smile without any distracting thoughts.
He Zhichu turned his head silently, opened the door and went in.
As soon as the door opened, the sound from inside the room came out.
"Is Professor He here? I came here in a hurry to finish the class meeting over there. I didn't expect that I wasn't the last one!" The first voice that came was a woman's voice, which sounded familiar to Gu Nianzhi.
"Where's the junior sister? Didn't you say that the junior sister is coming today?" The second voice was a bold male voice. The voice was a bit rough, but the bottom tone was thick and it didn't sound unpleasant.
"You don't want Junior Sister to be taller than Junior Sister, do you think you are Linghu Chong?!" This was Senior Brother Huang's voice, and Gu Nianzhi recognized it immediately.
She pursed her lips and smiled.
He Zhichu turned around with a cold face. When he saw Gu Nianzhi smiling, he couldn't help but smile too. Then he quickly realized that something was wrong, and quickly turned around and walked straight into the room, sitting on the large single sofa at the top. He crossed his legs and sat down.
There was a circle of sofas in the center of the living room, headed by the large sofa where He Zhichu sat. There were corner sofas on both sides, and a rectangular coffee table in the middle.
There were two people sitting on the sofas on both sides of the coffee table. They should be He Zhichu's doctoral students.
On the left were two men, one of whom was Senior Brother Huang, whom Gu Nianzhi was familiar with.
There was a man and a woman sitting on the right, and the woman was actually Gui Suyao, the counselor Gu Nianzhi had met in the afternoon!
Gu Nianzhi didn't bother to say hello to Senior Brother Huang, he just looked at Gui Suyao, his eyes dull for a moment.
He Zhichu moved on the large single sofa above, changed his legs, and said to Gu Nianzhi, "Why are you standing there? Come sit here."
But where will she sit
Gu Nianzhi was neither entering nor retreating at the door. He raised his hand awkwardly and said hello, "Hi, hello."
Senior Brother Huang stood up and introduced to the other three people: "This is the junior sister I told you, Gu Nianzhi. She just turned eighteen in November last year. She is smart and is an out-and-out genius girl. The key is to be beautiful, which is very rare!”
"Yes, yes! I could make a living based on my face, but I have to compete with others on IQ! - Junior sister, when I see a fairy sister like you, I feel like I don't deserve to live in this world!" Sitting next to Senior Brother Huang The man said very exaggeratedly that he was the first male voice Gu Nianzhi heard when he first entered the door. It was a bit rough but not annoying.
Before Gu Nianzhi could speak, Senior Brother Huang had already punched the man, "I say wipe your saliva quickly. Not every man named Duan has the capital to be Duan Zhengchun."
"If I don't want to be Duan Zhengchun, can't I be Duan Yu?" The man swooped over and stretched out his hand to Gu Nianzhi, "Hello, junior sister, I am Duan Chun, not the romantic Duan Zhengchun. But mellow and mellow, I am honest and reliable in nature, and have strong professional ability. I am a doctoral student in the law department of University B and a practicing lawyer at JD Law Firm. The firm is currently considering promoting me to senior. I am 28 years old this year. Junior sister, do you have a boyfriend?"
This man talks like he's pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. He doesn't wait for others to speak, and just pours them out in a gibbering voice.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but smile. The embarrassment and restraint just now disappeared. She shook the man's hand and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Duan. Please take good care of me in the future."
"No problem, no problem! I will take care of you for sure, but little junior sister, you are very good at avoiding important points and changing the subject! I clearly asked you if you have a boyfriend, but you gave me an accurate answer!" Senior Brother Duan teased, "You won't be fooled. Am I scared?"
"Get out of here!" Senior Brother Huang kicked Senior Brother Duan away and took Gu Nianzhi to sit down opposite He Zhichu, "Sit here and ignore that Duan, he is used to talking nonsense."
Gu Nianzhi tilted his head and smiled, "No, I know Senior Brother Duan is joking, I won't take it seriously."
A few people chatted and laughed, and the man sitting with Gui Suyao also introduced himself and said his surname was Wei. Gu Nianzhi called "Senior Brother Wei" and then nodded to Gui Suyao, who had been looking at her, " I didn’t expect that Teacher Gui was also a student of Professor He.”
"Ah?!" Senior Brother Huang was stunned for a moment, "What's going on? Xiaogui, your teacher?"
"Not a formal teacher." Gui Suyao explained with a smile, "I am the counselor of the first class of graduate students in the law department, and Nian Zhi happens to be in the same class."
"That's right." Senior Brother Huang nodded repeatedly, "That's okay, otherwise how can we calculate this generation? Hahahaha..."
"That's right, that Nianzhi is both the disciple and grandson of our Professor He! Hahahaha..." Senior Brother Duan let out a louder laugh.
Gu Nianzhi thought this man was very interesting. He did not have the restraint and self-discipline of ordinary lawyers, but was very wild. Of course, maybe all this was just an appearance, and he was not actually what he showed on the inside.
When these people were sizing up Gu Nianzhi, Gu Nianzhi was also sizing them up.
After they all finished speaking, He Zhichu said to Gu Nianzhi: "We will all be classmates from now on. Don't be restrained. If you don't understand anything, you can ask them if I'm not here."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "Okay, Professor He."
After He Zhichu finished speaking, he said to his doctoral students: "Two of you four will graduate this year. The topic selection for your graduation thesis was completed last year. You must write a first draft before submitting it in February."
He was talking about Senior Brother Huang and Senior Brother Duan.
The two people stopped laughing and joking, and nodded seriously and said: "Professor He, we are already writing. The first draft will definitely be available before the end of February."
He Zhichu looked at Senior Brother Wei again, "You are in your second year and you have to start choosing a topic for your doctoral thesis. Don't wait until next year."
"I know." The man nodded.
He Zhichu finally looked at Gui Suyao: "You are in the first grade. I will ask Xiao Huang and Xiao Duan to give you a few cases. You first make a plan."
Gui Suyao asked enthusiastically: "Professor He, do you have any good professional books that you can recommend to me?"
"Xiao Huang has a book list I gave him. They all looked at that book list to find books." He Zhichu pursed his lips and put one hand on his forehead. His figure was tall and handsome, and his beautiful appearance was reflected in the light. Exudes indescribable charm.
Gui Suyao looked away, not daring to look at He Zhichu anymore.
