Things in this world are like this. Even if you go through the back door and ask someone to do something for you, you won't just say a few words and they will do their best for you.
One thing must be exchanged for another. If you want to take something, you must give it first. This is the exchange of benefits.
Admiral Ji held the phone and was speechless for a long time.
Finally, he coughed heavily and said, "Then I'll discuss it with them and discuss it." After that, he hung up the phone and immediately said to his personal secretary: "I want to go out. You call them first to ask if they are at home. "As he said that, he pushed a list towards the life secretary and said, "Except Huo Guanchen, everyone else has to call and ask."
The life secretary looked at it and saw that they were members of the Standing Committee of the Supreme Military Council, so he didn't think too much and went down and started calling them one by one.
There are a total of fifteen members of the Standing Committee, including General Ji and Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen didn't need to make a phone call, he only needed to make thirteen calls for the rest.
Soon the phone calls were made one by one. Seven people were at home and could see Admiral Ji. The other six people had official business and made an appointment to meet tomorrow.
Regarding Huo Shaoheng's matter, Admiral Ji ran for two days before discussing it with these people.
There is certainly a reason why such a complicated matter could be agreed upon within two days.
The main reason is that these people want Huo Shaoheng to marry Gu Nianzhi in order to keep Gu Xiangwen in the Chinese Empire.
Gu Xiangwen was not a citizen of the Chinese Empire. Although he was naturalized now, he could give up in a minute when he wakes up.
Only blood and family ties cannot be given up or let go.
Previously, they had been dragging their feet on Huo Shaoheng's marriage application report, not because they disagreed, but because they were hindering Huo Guanchen's face. Moreover, Gu Nianzhi was still young and had just reached the legal age for marriage. Even if they agreed and passed the political review, they would not Get married now, you can afford to delay it.
Therefore, no one is in a hurry, as this will neither offend Huo Guanchen nor disrespect Huo Shaoheng. This is something that everyone understands tacitly.
Now that Admiral Ji told Huo Shaoheng's conditions, these people realized that Huo Shaoheng was already angry and dissatisfied.
Moreover, they will need Huo Shaoheng to come forward for many things in the future, and the Tan family matter is just one of them. If this matter is handled well, the road ahead will be smoother.
Now that everyone has laid out the conditions, the result is very simple.
At the regular meeting of the Military Supreme Committee, Huo Shaoheng's marriage application was approved with a record of 14 votes in favor and one vote against.
Huo Guanchen looked at the voting results, his face was livid, but he couldn't say a word.
Faced with this result, if he still objects, he is really out of his mind.
But within a few days, the trend of these people changed drastically, and his precious son must have been the one who manipulated it.
Thinking of this, Huo Guanchen felt proud and angry, but at the moment there was nothing he could do.
It is impossible to change something that has been decided by the organization. In other words, it is so difficult to change that even all the members of the Standing Committee cannot do it.
…
There was no news for another three days, no phone calls, no text messages, and no one came to see her.
But this time, Gu Nianzhi didn't feel as restless as if she hadn't seen him for a day, because the shock Huo Shaoheng gave her that day had not faded.
Why are you getting married
Gu Nianzhi was sitting in front of the computer, writing a paper, and started to feel dazed again.
Looking up at the bright summer light outside the window, her big pupils naturally shrank to avoid the stimulation of the bright light.
He lowered his eyes and looked at what he had written. It was so messy that there were hammers here and there and a stick here and there, making no sense.
Still feeling uneasy.
Gu Nianzhi simply stopped writing, closed the program, went to the small refrigerator, found a dragon fruit, cut it open, put a little honey on it, put it in a porcelain bowl as round as white jade, and knocked on Ma Qiqi's door with it.
"Qiqi, do you want to eat dragon fruit?"
Ma Qiqi opened the door and said with a sleepy look on her face: "Nianzhi, it's Saturday, you actually got up so early?"
Look at the watch, it's not even eight o'clock yet.
If they don't go home on weekends but stay in the dormitory, they don't get up until ninety o'clock.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and dragged the white porcelain bowl in front of Ma Qiqi, "Look, the watery dragon fruit is fragrant, soft and sweet, and it's also sweetened with wild honey. Do you want to eat it?"
"Yes." Ma Qiqi perked up and nodded decisively, "I'll wash my face and come out."
Gu Nianzhi sat down at the dining table, took two forks and put them on the dragon fruit, one for each of them.
After a while, Ma Qiqi came, sat across from her at the dining table, picked up a fork, and ate with her.
"Well, this dragon fruit is really good. It's full of water and very glutinous. It's even glutinous than what I've eaten before." Ma Qiqi's cheeks bulged as she ate.
Gu Nianzhi felt very happy after seeing it. He stopped eating after two bites and watched Ma Qiqi eat, looking at her unblinkingly with his big eyes.
Ma Qiqi ate a few pieces and said to Gu Nianzhi: "...Nianzhi, why didn't you go home this weekend? Didn't your boyfriend come to pick you up?"
Gu Nianzhi was a little distracted and didn't hear what Ma Qiqi said.
Ma Qiqi knocked on the table, "Nianzhi, are you worried?"
"Ah? Oh..." Gu Nianzhi came back to his senses. He was a little flustered and wanted to hide it, but he also felt that he had a lot of things on his mind that he wanted to talk to someone.
She grew up with Huo Shaoheng and the others. In the past, she would discuss everything with Yin Shixiong, Zhao Liangze, or Huo Shaoheng.
But now that she has grown up, of course she cannot tell the grown men what is on her mind.
In the past, when she was an undergraduate, there were Enchantress, Lady Cao and Green Tea Fang who made suggestions, but at that time, she didn't have the worries that she has now.
After a while, Gu Nianzhi finally asked, "Qiqi, what age do you think it is better to get married?"
"Marry?!" Ma Qiqi was stunned for a moment. Although she was older than Gu Nianzhi, she was still only twenty-three years old. She had just ended a relationship and had not yet started a new one. Getting married was not a big deal for her. It was still too far, she laughed strangely: "Nianzhi, you are only eighteen years old, not even nineteen, right? What kind of marriage are you going to get?! In this wonderful youth, you are going to be a yellow-faced woman. ?!”
Although according to the marriage law of the Chinese Empire, you can get married if you are over 18 years old.
Gu Nianzhi started laughing.
Ma Qiqi's thoughts are indeed exactly the same as hers!
They are all young girls who have not yet entered society. For them, a beautiful life has just begun.
When you look at a man, you are still in the stage of looking at his face. When it comes to love, you only have romantic imagination, and then you have to trap the man into your own imagination.
If it doesn't match your imagination, you will have all kinds of complaints.
Greed, anger, love, and obsession are all their yearning for love.
"Qiqi, you are really good at talking." Gu Nianzhi thought for a moment and changed the topic, worried that Ma Qiqi would continue to ask, "By the way, how are you doing recently? Have you got a new boyfriend? I learned from the book last night When I came back from the library, I saw you talking to a tall, elegant boy under the big tree downstairs. You smiled so tenderly... "
"Ah? Did you see me?!" Ma Qiqi screamed and covered her face, feeling very embarrassed, "No, no, he is not my new boyfriend, but..."
She put down her hand, looked at Gu Nianzhi coquettishly, leaned over to her ear and said, "...but he seems to be interested in me..."
"Then do you like him?" Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, "Is he chasing you?"
Gu Nianzhi has never been chased by anyone. She took the initiative with Huo Shaoheng, so she doesn't know what it feels like to be pursued and what her mood is. She even sometimes can't tell whether Huo Shaoheng really loves her or because he has been used to taking care of her over the years. It is his responsibility and obligation to get used to her entanglement...
Ma Qiqi closed her eyes, "I don't know... He is very good to me, let's take a look..."
"Then what else do you want?" Gu Nianzhi was very curious, "Isn't he good enough for you?"
"Of course it's not enough." Ma Qiqi said seriously, "I have to like him and be attracted to him. If he is just nice to me, but I don't feel it, being with him out of gratitude is also a kind of humiliation and irresponsibility for him. ."
"Ah? Really?" Gu Nianzhi's eyes wandered, "Then how do you know if the other person loves you?"
"It's very simple!" Ma Qiqi's eyes suddenly lit up, like a bright crystal chandelier. She held her reddish cheeks with both hands and said intoxicatedly: "Hey, I will always think of you when I don't see you, no matter what I have to meet you under any circumstances. If we are not together, then morning-call every morning and night-call at night are indispensable. As for you, you can hardly breathe as soon as you see him. What you imagined before All the good things can't be shown in front of him, because you have lost your mind and can't control your words, deeds, emotions, and joys."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
It sounds like a retard.
Gu Nianzhi frowned and thought about it, and regretfully discovered that the mentally retarded person was himself.
In front of Huo Shaoheng, he looked like the mentally retarded person Ma Qiqi said.
Will Huo Shaoheng endure it very hard
But it seemed that she really loved Huo Shaoheng, but she still couldn't tell whether Huo Shaoheng loved her this way.
She had vowed before that she would make Huo Shaoheng love her as much as she loved him, but after experiencing the incident in the blue hole, she felt that this was probably impossible.
In Huo Shaoheng's heart, his comrades and mission were more important than her.
That day, I huddled in the corner of the yacht with severe pain all over my body and couldn't move. What I saw in my eyes was Huo Shaoheng's back leaving in a hurry.
I have to say that the impact of that scene was so great on her that she still hasn't recovered from it.
Her subconscious insecurities worsened.
Was it because she had trouble with Huo Shaoheng because of this that Huo Shaoheng wanted to get married to appease her
But he didn't understand that what she wanted was not this kind of peace of mind, but his true feelings.
What if, is it possible that Huo Shaoheng would fall in love with someone else
A woman who is more mature, generous, good-tempered, skillful, well-rounded, and more beautiful than her
If there is such a woman, what should she do
Will he hand over Huo Shaoheng and retire sadly
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and found that there were still only four words.
Must not!
