Huo Shaoheng's eyes flashed as he recalled the sharp words that had turned the situation around.
Gu Nianzhi, who was as obedient as a kitten in front of him, actually had such a cunning and clever side. He put one hand in his trouser pocket and raised his glass with the other. It was rare for him to be humorous, "… So you're blaming me?"
Huo Shaoheng tilted his head, the corners of his lips curling up slightly. His face, which had always been cold and frightening, was now smiling.
Deep laughter came from his chest, with an irresistible magnetism. His face, which was so handsome that it made people despair, suddenly felt as if he had been saved from a desperate situation.
Although the smile was fleeting, Gu Nianzhi saw it through the video call.
Huo Shaoheng, who had always been blunt with others, was actually smiling so happily in Bai Shuang's direction. Gu Nianzhi felt like her heart had been hit by a sledgehammer, and her eyes suddenly felt sore.
Her hands began to shake uncontrollably.
She looked up at the relief on the bedroom ceiling for a long time, then clicked her fingers off the phone and took the initiative to end the video call with Zhao Liangze.
Bai Shuang had never seen Huo Shaoheng smile. Although the smile was very short, she was still greatly encouraged and couldn't help saying, "Yes, that was a really good sentence. Secretary Zhao helped me so much, so I should thank him properly … "
Huo Shaoheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt like he was being watched.
He turned around and saw Zhao Liangze frowning at his phone on the balcony.
As soon as Huo Shaoheng turned around, Zhao Liangze saw it from his phone. He quickly turned off the video call and looked up at Huo Shaoheng with a smile and waved.
Huo Shaoheng raised his chin and motioned for him to come over.
Zhao Liangze quickly put his phone in his pocket and ran over with a smile. He took a glass of champagne from the waiter and also raised it to Bai Shuang, "Congratulations, Deputy Director Bai."
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was a part-time position, and had to be the director or deputy director of the Information Department.
Bai Shuang became the new spokesperson, so she would definitely be promoted to the deputy director of the Information Department.
Bai Shuang blushed, but still graciously clinked glasses with Zhao Liangze and smiled, "I was just talking to the Chief about you. If it weren't for you, my mission would have been ruined. "
"How could I?!" Zhao Liangze laughed even more happily. "Besides, it wasn't me …"
Huo Shaoheng, who had been silent all this while, suddenly coughed and said to Bai Shuang, "Excuse me, I'm going to sit over there for a while." With that, he turned around and left.
Zhao Liangze understood that Huo Shaoheng was warning him not to drag Gu Nianzhi into this. He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He felt that it would be unfair to Gu Nianzhi to take away her credit just like that.
However, he couldn't ignore Huo Shaoheng's order. He also knew that dragging Gu Nianzhi into this matter wouldn't benefit her at all.
Zhao Liangze quickly saluted Huo Shaoheng's departing figure. "Take care, Chief!"
From beginning to end, Huo Shaoheng didn't even glance at Gu Yanran, who was standing on the other side of him.
However, Gu Yanran did not feel left out at all. Instead, she stood at the side with interest and listened to their conversation carefully.
They were probably talking about official matters, so she didn't really understand. However, she could tell that Spokesperson Bai blushed when he saw the tall and handsome "Secretary Zhao." Although his eyes were looking at the ground three feet in front of him, the corners of his eyes were completely focused on Secretary Zhao.
However, Secretary Zhao didn't know whether it was because his heart belonged to someone else, or because he wasn't enlightened, or because he completely looked down on this Spokesperson Bai. His demeanor was open and at ease, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Seeing Huo Shaoheng turn around and walk to the corner of the hall, where he sat down behind a row of indoor green potted plants, Gu Yanran followed him.
"Major General Huo, I'm very happy that you came to this reception. Deputy Director Feng is still a man of his word. " Gu Yanran smiled and sat diagonally across him. She raised her glass to Huo Shaoheng's. "Cheers."
Huo Shaoheng rested one hand on the back of the sofa and swirled the wine glass in his other hand. His long legs that were crossed almost took up the entire space of the lounge.
"Miss Gu, I have to remind you that the original intention of charity is to help people, not to blackmail them." With that, he put down his wine glass and stood up to walk out without looking back.
Deputy Director Feng jumped over from the side and smiled. "Miss Gu, look, Major General Huo is here, right?"
Gu Yanran couldn't help laughing and nodded. "Of course, I keep my word."
Of course he was here, and he even said something to her …
Gu Yanran thought sarcastically. She couldn't expect Huo Shaoheng to be like other men and kneel down and lick her every time he saw her, could she?
What was the point of being such a spineless person?
If her huge business empire and family needed a strong backing, she would definitely choose an unruly and aggressive lion, not a dog that only knew how to bark and wag its tail.
…
Gu Nianzhi lay on the bed in a daze. Her mind was filled with Huo Shaoheng's faint smile.
Her eyes were very sore, but she forced herself to keep them open and look up so the tears wouldn't flow.
After an unknown amount of time, her phone suddenly rang.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to pick it up, but the ringing persistently was too annoying.
She grabbed the phone and was about to turn it off when she saw it was Zhao Quan.
The "Prince Charming" from the School of Electronic Engineering …
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and unlocked the phone. "Prince Charming Zhao?"
Zhao Quan burst into laughter. "Nianzhi, don't joke around. I have something serious to talk to you about."
"What is it?" Gu Nianzhi was now very familiar with the Huaxia Imperial Student Union.
After Xin Xinggao's incident, the Huaxia Imperial Student Union had issued the harshest condemnation and a statement to draw a clear line between them and Xin Xinggao. Of course, Gu Nianzhi had played a big part in that.
Xin Xinggao was now under the protection of the US military, and they were only students. The only thing they could do was make their stand clear.
"It's like this. We have a women's softball match with the Indian Student Union today, but Xin Xinggao isn't on our team anymore. She's joined the Indian team, so we're still missing one player. Do you know how to play softball? Can you fill in for her? "
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to stay home alone and let her imagination run wild. She was extremely depressed and needed a chance to vent her pent-up frustrations.
"Softball? Baseball, right? Sure, I know how to play. Wait, I'll be right there. Tell me the address? " Gu Nianzhi got up with her phone and began rummaging through her closet for her baseball uniform, cap, and bat.
"It's at the baseball field on the west side." Zhao Quan was very happy. "Hurry over, there's a lot of people coming to watch the game today."
Gu Nianzhi's baseball skills had been honed with the Special Forces in the army, so her skills were passable. However, she didn't usually have many opportunities to play, so she hoped she wouldn't be a burden today.
Gu Nianzhi changed her clothes and came out to Yin Shixiong. "Brother Xiong, I want to go out and play."
Yin Shixiong saw her change into her baseball uniform and carry a long baseball bat. He laughed. "You're going to play baseball?"
"Yeah, we're playing against the Indian Third Sisters today. I'm going to stretch." Gu Nianzhi waved the bat and gritted her teeth.
