Since Huo Shaoheng said he was going to ask, Yin Shixiong would of course be quiet.
He touched his nose and said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, then you should pay more attention to this matter. Anyway, it is just for the sake of thinking, and she will understand you."
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him and said nothing. He just turned his attention to the computer. This action indicated that the conversation was over and Yin Shixiong could go out.
Yin Shixiong walked out of Huo Shaoheng's office and closed the door for him.
As soon as the door closed, Huo Shaoheng's eyes returned to the desk. He stared at a coffee cup on the table for a while, then reached out to open the drawer and took out a book from it.
There is a red rabbit painted on the cover of the book, and the book is called "The-Miraculous-Journey-of-Edward-Tulane".
Opening the book, there is a photo in the middle of the book.
Huo Shaoheng took out the photo and looked at it carefully.
The photo shows an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, wearing a beautiful little princess tutu, with long hair draped behind her head, black eyebrow-length bangs, a round face and chubby eyes, and small eyes. The eyes are narrow and long, and the ends of the eyes fly up slantingly, and they narrow into a crescent moon when smiling.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes over the years, Huo Shaoheng would never have believed that the narrow eyes of the little girl in the photo would have grown into the big eyes of a cartoon girl like Gu Nianzhi now.
A chubby and even somewhat unattractive little girl, after going through puberty, her facial features actually grew, and then like a rose, from the raw and raw buds to the charming and graceful ones in full bloom, she began to show her graceful grace.
All in all, if you just look at the photo, no one would recognize that the little girl in the photo is Gu Nianzhi now.
Could it be that for this reason, Gu Nianzhi's family didn't know her when they met across from each other
Huo Shaoheng held the photo in his hand and looked at it over and over again, as if he wanted to see the miracle of the Creator from the photo.
The little girl in the photo looked like the first time he saw Gu Nianzhi. There was a sentence written on the back of the photo: "Gu Nianzhi's eleventh birthday." There was a date underneath, which was a year ago.
They determined Gu Nianzhi's name and birthday based on this photo.
Huo Shaoheng looked at it for a long time, put the photo back into the middle of the book, then locked the drawer and started working.
Every day, news collected from all over the world is sent to Huo Shaoheng's desk. Of course, these news have been screened. The unimportant ones have been solved by the people below. Only the important five-star and above news will be handled by Huo Shaoheng himself. deal with.
When he started working, he was extremely focused and focused, and nothing could shake his tenacious mind.
When it was almost time for dinner, Yin Shixiong poked his head into Huo Shaoheng's office several times and saw that he was meticulously reviewing confidential documents, so he did not disturb him.
"Ozawa, I'm back to the official residence. Are you on duty today?" Yin Shixiong put on his short coat, "I'm so tired today. I want to go back and have a bowl of soup."
"The cook in Mr. Huo's kitchen can go to work as a chef in a Michelin three-star restaurant, but he still can't feed you?" Zhao Liangze rolled his eyes at him, "You just know how to eat. Look, you've gained a lot of weight."
"No way!" Yin Shixiong was anxious. He couldn't bear to hear others say he was fat.
In fact, he is not fat, but he is tall and has a wide frame, making him look stronger than the average man.
Although Zhao Liangze is not thin, he has a small frame and a slender figure. When he stands up, Yin Shixiong looks like a bodyguard next to him, so he is often laughed at by Zhao Liangze.
"Forget it, I won't eat today." Yin Shixiong complained, grabbed his briefcase and left the office building.
Returning to Huo Shaoheng's mansion, Yin Shixiong went to his suite to take a shower and change his clothes before going downstairs to the dining room to have a look. He remembered that it was pitiful for Gu Nian to be alone in the room, so he ordered the orderly : "Send my food and Miss Gu to her room, and I'll go eat with her."
The orderly responded, took a tray, took the food and soup to the outer living room of Gu Nianzhi's suite, and placed it on the small coffee table.
"Excuse me." Yin Shixiong nodded to the orderly, indicating that he could go out.
The orderly smiled and said hurriedly: "Lieutenant Colonel Yin is too polite. This is what I should do."
After he left, he helped Yin Shixiong close the door very considerately.
Yin Shixiong looked at the food on the small coffee table and called into the bedroom: "Nianzhi, dinner is ready, can you eat by yourself?"
Gu Nianzhi heard the voices of Yin Shixiong and the orderly early, but when the orderly was there, she did not dare to say anything. Only after the orderly left did she get up from bed, put her head in the door and looked at Yin Shixiong in her home clothes, and said something to Yin Shixiong. Waved: "Brother Daxiong, can you bring me the food?"
Smelling the aroma of the food, Gu Nianzhi salivated automatically. She was really hungry.
Yin Shixiong smiled and nodded, took the tray, put the food in it, and sent it to Gu Nianzhi's bedroom.
There was a small long table against the wall of her bedroom, which was originally used to store jade screen landscapes and antique furnishings. She moved the small jade screen and a double-sided embroidered screen of a cat playing with a butterfly to Duobao. In the pavilion.
Yin Shixiong put the food on the long table, and the two of them sat on each side and began to eat.
Gu Nianzhi first drank a bowl of soup, then ate two gold and silver steamed buns, and some green pepper shredded beef and assorted seafood platter, then put down his chopsticks and said with a satisfied smile: "Oh, I'm so hungry that I can eat It’s a cow. Fortunately, there is shredded beef today, otherwise I would be really hungry.”
"Tsk, tsk, you only took a few bites of that cat food, and you're bragging in front of me." Yin Shixiong tsk-tsked, shook his head, and ate the food with big mouthfuls.
It is no exaggeration to say that the amount of food he eats for one meal can last Gu Nianzhi for two days.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi had long been accustomed to the way Huo Shaoheng and the others ate, so he was not surprised. He sat aside and drank slowly with a cup of tea, straightening his back from time to time.
Lying in bed for too long makes me very tired.
After Yin Shixiong finished his meal, he also made a cup of tea and held it in his hands, chatting all over the place with Gu Nianzhi.
After chatting for a while, Yin Shixiong naturally asked about He Zhichu.
"Nianzhi, your Professor He is really nice to you, and don't you feel that your Professor He seems to be very familiar with you?" Yin Shixiong lowered his head and took a sip of tea, not looking at Gu Nianzhi's expression.
Gu Nianzhi was slightly startled and said, "Brother Daxiong, do you think so?"
"Well, it's a coincidence..." Yin Shixiong unknowingly told He Zhichu's situation, "Look, when you were in college, He Zhichu became an associate professor at Harvard Law School. , and then he will be promoted to a tenured professor in two years.”
"...Is that so? Professor He... was originally a top student who graduated from Yale Law School, and has long been a partner of the largest law firm in the United States." Gu Nianzhi tilted his head, as if he was not convinced by the reason Yin Shixiong said.
"Yes, yes, he has this ability. Since he is so powerful, wouldn't it be great to stay in the United States and be his professor at Harvard Law School? But you see, he accepted the invitation from University B Law School last year to come here to do a Ph.D. A student advisor, and in the year you graduated, he suddenly decided to recruit a master’s student.”
After Yin Shixiong finished speaking, he looked at Gu Nianzhi motionless, "Do you think it's still a coincidence?"
Gu Nianzhi lowered his eyes and shook his head, "I don't know, I think it's a coincidence, but when Brother Daxiong says it like this, you definitely think it's not a coincidence."
If it's not a coincidence, it's intentional.
In the past, Gu Nianzhi would have refuted vigorously. She did not think that she was able to get these opportunities because He Zhichu opened the back door for her.
She hopes to get it all with her own ability.
But after recent events, and He Zhichu's foresight about her ankle injury, she could no longer convince herself with "coincidence".
But these thoughts could not be explained in detail to Yin Shixiong for the time being, they were just her own speculations.
"It's good that you know it's not a coincidence." Yin Shixiong stood up, smiled and winked at her, "Anyway, I'm just reminding you, Mr. Huo will ask you if he has the chance."
He strode out, collected the dishes and chopsticks in the living room, and took them away, leaving only the confused Gu Nian alone in the bedroom in a daze.
…
When Huo Shaoheng finished all his official duties and left the office building and returned to his residence, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
He habitually went to Gu Nian's room first to take a look.
The lights were dark in the room. When Huo Shaoheng opened the door and came in, he walked straight from the living room to the bedroom.
When I came to the bedroom, I found that no one was there.
He was slightly startled, and soon heard Gu Nianzhi's voice coming from the other side of the bedroom.
"Master Huo? Is that you?"
Huo Shaoheng turned around, his eyes now accustomed to the darkness, and saw Gu Nianzhi standing up from the long table by the wall.
It turned out that she was not sleeping in bed, but sitting alone in the dark bedroom.
