At that moment, Cai Shengnan's face was as dark as her mood, and there was even a moment of ferocity.
It was anger, unwillingness, and jealousy that came from having the fruits of her years of hard work taken away.
However, her expression quickly calmed down. Although her emotions were still fluctuating, there was nothing unusual on the surface.
It seemed that this reserved private room should be Huo Shaoheng's.
Cai Shengnan made this judgment immediately.
That was more like it.
He Zhichu was indeed powerful in the United States. He was well-respected in both the political and military circles, but in Huaxia, as far as Cai Shengnan knew, his hands didn't extend to the political and military circles.
The platinum membership card of the Luhuitou restaurant couldn't be obtained without a certain level of political status and rank.
Therefore, Cai Shengnan thought that Gu Nianzhi had used Huo Shaoheng's name to ask for the private room.
Hmph, she was good at abusing her power for personal gain..
Cai Shengnan thought about it and couldn't help taking out her phone to secretly take a picture of the private room.
At that moment, a hand reached out and took the phone from Cai Shengnan's hand.
"Miss, we don't allow photos here. Violators will be fined 100,000 yuan," a man in a security uniform said politely, but his actions were very fast.
Cai Shengnan was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red. She immediately whispered, "Thank you for the reminder, I didn't know. I just admired the decoration and furnishings of this private room, and I didn't take any pictures. Can you return my phone to me? "
The security guard was very cautious and said, "The photos have to be checked. Show me the photos taken in the past hour to make sure there are no photos of us here."
Cai Shengnan took the phone and opened the photo album with a sullen face to show the security guard. She said, "Look, I haven't taken any photos in the past hour."
The security guard confirmed that the most recent photo was taken three days ago before nodding to her. "Thank you for your cooperation." He bowed to her, turned around, and left.
Cai Shengnan stared at the security guard's back and cursed him for being a busybody. She was about to turn around and leave when the door of the private room in front of her was pulled open.
Gu Nianzhi stood quietly at the door and looked at her with a faint smile. "Isn't this Miss Cai? What are you doing in front of our private room? Taking pictures? Haha, why are you secretly taking pictures of me? "
"Miss Gu, I haven't congratulated you on your engagement with Major General Huo. The entire world is watching the grand engagement ceremony. You're really lucky. "As soon as Cai Shengnan saw Gu Nianzhi, she immediately suppressed the impatience in her heart and wished her well with a smile.
As the saying goes, don't slap a smiling face.
Cai Shengnan felt that Gu Nianzhi would definitely not make things difficult for her since she had lowered herself so much.
Unfortunately, she was wrong. To Gu Nianzhi, the only thing that mattered was whether she wanted to make things difficult for you, not whether she could make things difficult for you.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and looked Cai Shengnan up and down.
It had to be said that Cai Shengnan's figure was indeed not bad. She was wearing a smoky gray Issey Miyake business suit that accentuated her curves. She was a little burly, but compared to Americans, she could be said to be "slim". She was at least a third wider than Gu Nianzhi, so she looked very impressive blocking the door.
"Is this how you congratulate me?" Gu Nianzhi looked up at the camera on the top of her private room's door. "Secretly filming me from the crack of the door. I've never seen or heard of such a congratulatory mode."
Only then did Cai Shengnan realize that there was a camera at the door of the private room!
No wonder the security guard had arrived so quickly. It turned out that everything here was being monitored.
Cai Shengnan's face alternated between red and white. She had never seen Gu Nianzhi rebuke her like this before.
She had thought that Gu Nianzhi wouldn't be so disrespectful in public.
In the end, she had overestimated Gu Nianzhi's upbringing and underestimated how shameless she could be.
"Miss Gu, forgive and forget. If you're so aggressive, you'll only tarnish Major General Huo's reputation." Cai Shengnan seemed to have found the moral high ground, and the indignation in her heart completely calmed down. "Besides, you're already going to marry Major General Huo. You won't take it too hard and let others know how you're using Major General Huo's power to do whatever you want outside, right?"
Cai Shengnan knew that the more powerful a person was, the more they cared about their reputation and were very strict with their family.
They wouldn't be like the families of those superficial, low-level bureaucrats who couldn't wait to engrave the words "My father is Li Gang" on their foreheads.
"Miss Cai, you're also a well-known figure in the legal world, and you're also a partner of the second-largest law firm in the United States. I really didn't expect you to say something like that. "Gu Nianzhi shook her head, the disdain on her face evident.
Cai Shengnan sneered. "Miss Gu, I'm really sorry. I've always said different things to different people. To people like you, I can only say things that you understand. As for the legal jargon, do you really understand it? You graduated from B University with a master's degree in law at the age of 19. Don't think I don't know how you got your degree?! "
Cai Shengnan had always thought that she was a genius enough, but compared to Gu Nianzhi's resume, she was still nothing.
She had originally disdained to compare herself to Gu Nianzhi, but Gu Nianzhi was actually engaged to Huo Shaoheng. This made her feel unbalanced no matter what.
"Haha, I don't understand Miss Cai's legal jargon." Gu Nianzhi emphasized the words "Miss Cai". "I only understand legal jargon that everyone agrees with."
She was mocking Cai Shengnan for "self-created" laws.
"What's the use of having a glib tongue?" Cai Shengnan looked at Gu Nianzhi with almost pity in her eyes. "Since we've met here today, I'll remind you in advance. You're already Major General Huo's fiancée. If I were you, I would definitely stop while I'm ahead. Don't be so ruthless towards others. After all, she's already left the Huo family and is no longer a part of the Huo family. She won't affect you anymore. Why must you make things difficult for her? "
Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms, and her expression turned cold. "Miss Cai, who are you speaking for? I don't understand. The matter between me and the Huo family is our family matter. It's not up to an outsider like you to interfere. Who gave you the authority? Who gave you the guts? — — Ignorance? Or rudeness? "
Gu Nianzhi's words completely aroused Cai Shengnan's anger and competitiveness.
She had been hesitant to be Luo Jialan's legal representative and was still evaluating it.
However, when she saw that Gu Nianzhi didn't care about friendship at all and didn't know how to compromise or back down, she immediately concluded that Gu Nianzhi wasn't suitable for Huo Shaoheng and the others..
She didn't know her place after getting engaged. How confident was she in herself?
Not to mention just getting engaged, they could even get a divorce after getting married..
Cai Shengnan almost laughed out loud at the thought of this.
"Miss Gu, I really underestimated you in the past. You're so glib with your words. You're like a quarreling auntie in the market. I'm ashamed of my inferiority." Cai Shengnan reached out to stroke her curly hair. "What a pity. The courtroom isn't the market. Your skills are destined to be useless."
Cai Shengnan knew that Gu Nianzhi still had some skills, but if she didn't take the opportunity to attack Gu Nianzhi's arrogance and completely infuriate her, when would she?
There were cameras here. Cai Shengnan made up her mind to get the surveillance video from here after Gu Nianzhi and the others left..
