"What's the matter? You want me to knock out your teeth and swallow blood, and wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon?! - I tell you, it can't be done!" Bai Shuang tilted his head, clamped the phone between his ear and shoulder, and said While tidying up the wardrobe, he continued to argue with Zhao Liangze: "Since you don't like me, but you like my cousin, it doesn't matter. You can like anyone. You have your freedom. I don't have any objection. We were just ordinary friends before. But Please don’t call me again! Don’t send text messages, and don’t contact me in any way!”
Zhao Liangze was stunned, "Why? I thought we were still friends."
"No, from the moment you chose Bai Yueran, we were no longer friends, not even ordinary friends." Bai Shuang's rejection was loud and decisive.
Zhao Liangze didn't expect Bai Shuang to be so determined.
She used to follow him with her eyes. When she saw him, her eyes would light up and her whole person would become brilliant.
When he sees her like this, he will feel very good.
This is why even though he feels that he doesn't love Bai Shuang, he is still willing to be friends with her, right
But when he thought that her smile was no longer bright and her eyes were no longer shining because of his actions, Zhao Liangze felt unspeakable heartache and sadness.
Obviously, you should be happy or even ecstatic to finally catch up with the person you love.
But Zhao Liangze knew that ever since he kissed Bai Yueran that day and was caught by Bai Shuang, all he could think about was Bai Shuang's crying eyes...
Fortunately, Huo Shaoheng sent him to this little inhabited island.
Half a month of hard work left him no time to think about personal issues.
Almost 20 hours of high-intensity work every day has transformed the fair-skinned and handsome Zhao Liangze into a muscular man with bronzed skin.
He is still handsome, but he is no longer as handsome as before.
Now he truly looks like a soldier.
He hurriedly hurriedly set up the first signal transmission tower and mobile phone base station on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and successfully established a connection with the Nandou satellite navigation and communication system.
However, the power generation device on the island has not yet been established.
They were using makeshift diesel generators.
Except for the signal stations and mobile phone base stations that supply the station, as well as the computers used for work, there is almost no power left.
This time it was the day before the Spring Festival. The navy sent them a large amount of supplies, so that they could use the power provided by the diesel generators to use their mobile phones to contact their families in China.
Because the time allocated to each person is limited, everyone only calls the people they care about most.
Married people call their wives and children.
Those who are not married call their parents and lovers.
As for Zhao Liangze, his first reaction was to call Bai Shuang.
Unexpectedly, Bai Shuang not only refused to answer his call, but also blocked his number.
If he hadn't been disciplined, Zhao Liangze could have hacked Bai Shuang's phone in minutes and pulled his own phone number out of the blacklist.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to do this.
Later, he borrowed someone else's cell phone to make a call, and Bai Shuang accidentally answered the call, and he was able to talk.
But this wasn't talking, it was just a quarrel!
Zhao Liangze held the stopwatch and reasoned with Bai Shuang: "Bai Shuang, I have already apologized, do you want to be so cruel?"
Bai Shuang only felt that Zhao Liangze was entangled. She had already humiliated enough people. Do you want her to continue to be humiliated
"Zhao Liangze, okay, I accept your apology, okay? Now let's go back to the bridge, the road to the road, the road to the sky, each side, don't go back and forth in this life. I beg you, let me go. - Believe Me, you won’t lose anything in your life without me as a friend.”
Bai Shuang was also in a very irritable mood. He casually pulled out a few clothes from the closet and threw them into the suitcase, locking it with a snap.
Zhao Liangze heard something was wrong with Bai Shuang's voice over there, and couldn't help but ask: "Bai Shuang, what are you doing?"
"Pack your bags, I'm going abroad tomorrow, don't call me again, I won't use this number again." Bai Shuang pressed the phone's zoom button and threw it on the bedside table.
"Going abroad? Where are you going?" Zhao Liangze didn't know why he was so nervous. "My number will not change. If you encounter difficulties outside, you can call me."
"Give you a fight? I don't know where you are. I'm full and ready to give you a fight? If it's an emergency, won't it delay me?" Bai Shuang refused Zhao Liangze without hesitation.
Zhao Liangze hesitated for a while, remembering Huo Shaoheng's instructions, and mustered up the courage to say to Bai Shuang: "Bai Shuang, do you know, I saw you leaving crying that day, and I felt very sad. I drank a lot, and then accidentally, After saying a few words to make Mr. Huo unhappy, he was... sent to this place where birds don't lay eggs. I have no electricity or water here, and everything has to wait for supplies. I really don't have much time to quarrel with you. .”
Bai Shuang was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of the phone, and asked suspiciously: "What did you say? Because you talked back to Master Huo, you were sent to a deserted place? - Isn't that right? Master Huo is not such a person?"
Hearing that Bai Shuang believed in Huo Shaoheng almost unconditionally, Zhao Liangze couldn't explain how he felt. He only felt a little sour in his heart and muttered: "... That's the truth. If you don't believe it, you can ask Nobita. But forget it, I'm not saying this to make you sympathize. I, I just want to explain that I really didn’t mean to make you sad, I’m sorry.”
Although Bai Shuang didn't know what Zhao Liangze was doing specifically, she knew the nature of the Special Operations Department.
Since Zhao Liangze had offended Huo Shaoheng, he could be sent to a remote place in any remote country.
Bai Shuang bit his lip, stood up, picked up the phone, and said to Zhao Liangze: "Okay, I understand, you don't have to feel guilty. Work hard, don't waste your precious time with me, call your parents, Calling my cousin is better than calling me."
Zhao Liangze was startled and thought to himself, yes, he should call them first. Why did he call Bai Shuang by accident
Not only did he fight, he also persevered...
Zhao Liangze was also frightened by his own thoughts, his breathing was a little rapid, and he was speechless for a while.
Bai Shuang waited for a while, and when Zhao Liangze stopped talking, he nodded, "Okay, I'll hang up."
Zhao Liangze said hurriedly: "Happy Spring Festival."
Bai Shuang hesitated, "You too."
Zhao Liangze added: "You should be more careful when you are alone abroad. There are many perverts in foreigners."
Bai Shuang twitched the corners of his lips, "I'm not a little girl who can't get out of the door, but I still thank you for the reminder."
After a pause, Bai Shuang said hastily: "... Take care and be safe." After saying that, he quickly picked up the phone.
She clutched her chest and found that her heart was beating fast.
No, we can't go on like this.
Bai Shuang took out the phone sim card, found a pair of high heels, and smashed the phone sim card into pieces with the pointed soles.
Zhao Liangze stared blankly at his phone. It was just such a simple and perfunctory polite word, but his mood suddenly improved.
Just like the sky that had been hazy for many days, suddenly the dark clouds dispersed, the sun shone brightly, and spring returned to the earth. He felt full of energy, and even the silver-gray plastic bucket used to catch rainwater looked so pleasing to the eye.
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was time to have lunch at Admiral Ji’s house.
General Ji will treat everyone to a meal as usual.
There were two long dining tables for banquets in the spacious restaurant.
The bosses and their wives or children sat at one table, and their subordinates and entourages sat at another table.
They are all shared meals.
Gu Nianzhi originally wanted to sit at another table with the followers.
But Huo Shaoheng came over and pulled her over, "Nianzhi, Admiral Ji wants to talk to you."
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to follow him and sit next to him.
On the other side of Gu Nianzhi was General Ji.
On the other side of Admiral Ji is his wife.
On the other side of Huo Shaoheng was Chairman Long.
Speaker Long did not bring his wife or children to visit General Ji's house for New Year greetings. He came alone, and only brought Special Assistant Yang as his entourage.
Therefore, on the dining tables on both sides, there are clear barriers and different levels.
None of the other entourages had any objections to Gu Nianzhi sitting at the master's table and eating at the same table as the big bosses.
After all, everyone is their own boss, and they don't care about the seating arrangement during the meal.
Besides, it was a family banquet at Admiral Ji's house, not a state banquet. Admiral Ji had said that he wanted to talk to Gu Nianzhi, so it was appropriate to give her preferential treatment and call her over for dinner.
Don't give in and hold it back.
Only Assistant Yang felt unhappy.
Although he was sitting at the entourage's seat, he never took his eyes away from the host's seat.
Admiral Ji smiled and exchanged a few words with Gu Nianzhi before turning to the main topic.
"Nianzhi, I heard that you graduated early?"
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi smiled and tilted his head, "For those who have just graduated, the graduation ceremony will not be held until July."
"Oh, have you ever considered where to work after graduation?" Admiral Ji looked at Gu Nianzhi very enthusiastically and pointed to the four dishes on her plate, "Try my chef's specialty dishes, the upper left corner This grid is Xiaotiansu, which is actually fried shredded venison and chicken. The grid in the upper right corner is Guangming Shrimp Zhi, which is actually grilled shrimp. The bottom left corner is fresh bean sprouts, and the bottom right corner is dessert. I specially ordered The cheese topped with cherries made by the chef is said to be the name of an ancient dish. I hope you like it."
Gu Nianzhi quickly glanced in front of everyone.
There is a four-compartment lunch box in front of everyone, with a small round lunch box in the middle containing dipping sauces.
The four dishes in front of everyone are different, and they are probably made according to everyone's taste. It is obvious that everyone is very happy and satisfied after eating.
Of course, it's possible that he was just pretending. Anyway, the acting skills of the big guys have long been superb. Gu Nianzhi felt that he was just an ordinary person. He was not as thoughtful as these big guys, and his acting skills were not as good as theirs.
She looked away, smiled and nodded to General Ji, "Thank you, General Ji. I like these dishes very much."
She took a bite of the Bright Shrimp and after swallowing it, she said to Admiral Ji: "I haven't considered where to work for the time being. I'll wait until after the New Year."
She is currently a regular employee at the largest law firm in the United States, but she does not plan to work in the United States, so she will probably have to quit this job.
Or if the largest law firm in the United States opens a branch in the Chinese Empire, she will also consider staying there.
"You haven't decided yet? That's fine, that's fine!" Admiral Ji patted the dining table happily, "Come on, come on, my office just needs a legal adviser. If you are willing, I will ask Secretary Cao..."
"Old Ji, what are you talking about?! You can't poach me anymore!" Speaker Long was listening patiently and planned to wait for Admiral Ji to finish speaking before he spoke.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Admiral Ji had already brought it up.
Speaker Long pushed Huo Shaoheng anxiously, "Shao Heng, give way. I have something to say to Nian Zhi."
Two of the three people with the highest status in the empire favored Gu Nianzhi, and Huo Shaoheng was certainly happy.
But he didn't show it at all. He stood up politely and gave up his position. "President Long, please."
Chancellor Long sat unceremoniously where Huo Shaoheng had just been, and together with Admiral Ji, he surrounded Gu Nianzhi from left to right.
Huo Shaoheng was tall and majestic. As soon as he stood up, his goal was particularly obvious.
The attendants immediately noticed the movement here.
A follower of a military boss quietly pushed Assistant Yang and said with a smile, "Look, Chairman Long really thinks highly of Miss Gu."
Special Assistant Yang squinted his eyes and smiled, and said: "Our Speaker is very fond of talents and likes to cast a wide net. Not only Miss Gu, but also Miss Cai is also a key inspection target of our Speaker."
"... Got it. Haha, come on, have a drink." The entourage laughed and toasted with Special Assistant Yang.
Chancellor Long has already told Gu Nianzhi.
"Nianzhi, to be honest, you are a professional who studied law. It is really unfair to go to the military department. Where is the status of a lawyer there? Look at Director Bai, he is also a smart and capable person, but now he is with me every day Dealing with paperwork is completely incapable of showing off in court. You are so suitable for court debate, you should really be considered by our parliament."
After hearing this, General Ji was so angry that he wanted to roll up his sleeves and start a fight.
"Old Long! That's enough! Why is the Legal Affairs Department of our military department so bad?! It's not like we can't litigate?! - I'll tell you, you like to go to court, it doesn't matter. Our military department only needs people like you . Let me tell you, we don’t know how many cases we need to fight, and they are all cases in the International Court of Justice. Unfortunately, there is a lack of manpower, and it has been delayed for several years, which makes me anxious!"
Gu Nianzhi suddenly became interested when he heard that he was going to file a lawsuit in the International Court of Justice.
"Really? I don't think I've heard any media reports on these cases."
"Why are these reported to the media? They are all kept confidential." General Ji's meeting aroused Gu Nianzhi's interest. He had a bright smile and looked like a kind old grandfather.
Huo Shaoheng twitched the corner of his mouth and silently took a bite of roasted veal loin.
Speaker Long became even more anxious. He even took Gu Nianzhi's arm and said sincerely: "Nianzhi, we who study law should have long-term career planning. Litigation is important, but more importantly, every one of us who fights Will the lawsuit help my future career development?"
"That makes sense." Gu Nianzhi nodded, picked up the juice in front of her and took a sip. It was her favorite coconut juice, and Huo Shaoheng should have poured it for her.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng and saw that he was drinking liquor, which was still high-alcohol liquor.
White wine paired with roasted veal loin, a perfect combination of east and west, which is quite special.
Gu Nianzhi looked away and heard Chancellor Long talking with great joy.
"Nianzhi, you think it makes sense, don't you? So those international court cases are actually not of much help to your career plan. You come to the secretariat of our parliament as the chief legal adviser. Three years later, I guarantee you can come out and be elected as a member of the House of Lords!—With your qualifications, given time, you will be my successor!"
After Speaker Long finished speaking, he smiled proudly at Admiral Ji, as if you were the only one who had a successor? So do I!
Admiral Ji smiled, raised a pair of gray eyebrows, and said in a long voice: "Old Long, are you going too far? Don't you blush when you draw such a big cake for a little girl who has just left school? "
"Why should I blush?! Every word I say is sincere!" Speaker Long waved his arms, his chubby face turned red, and he looked more childish and healthy.
"Nianzhi, don't listen to him. Lao Long came from a campaign background and is best at talking without counting. I am different. I am a soldier. You grew up with soldiers. Naturally, you know that although we soldiers don't talk much, there is one sentence that counts. , never talk too much, just do what you say!”
General Ji kept tearing down Speaker Long's position, which made Speaker Long furious.
"Lao Ji, you just want to be against me, right?"
"I'm not trying to be against you, but I'm a good-looking guy who is loved by everyone. What's wrong? You're allowed to paint cakes, but I'm not allowed to recruit them?"
"Why do you say that I am a painter and you are just soliciting?! Bah!" Speaker Long was really angry, "I can issue a military order! Just go to the Secretariat of our Upper House and I will escort you all the way. I will definitely be your successor. People training!”
Speaker Long’s voice was so loud that everyone present heard it.
Everyone joined in and expressed their willingness to be witnesses.
These people are all well-known military bosses. They took the initiative to serve as witnesses, and it was no different from Chairman Long having issued a military order.
Admiral Ji suppressed the joy in his heart and gave Huo Shaoheng a "you know, I know" look.
Huo Shaoheng was calm and composed, his expression did not change at all.
Only Assistant Yang, who was on the entourage table, changed his expression with dismay, understanding that what he feared most had finally come.
