He Zhichu was quiet for a moment, then he said to Grandfather Xie's assistant with a serious expression, "Do you think you can postpone it just because you say so? Did you ask for my opinion? "
Grandfather Xie's assistant didn't expect He Zhichu to be so rude.
He scoffed and said, "Mr. He, what do you mean? Our Old Master informed you about this matter because of our relationship. You have to know your place. "
In other words, it didn't matter if he didn't tell him. Why was He Zhichu putting on airs here?!
He Zhichu was well aware of the Xie family's attitude. It was precisely because he knew that there were many things to do in such a large family that he took the initiative to contact the Xie family himself and not let Gu Nianzhi interfere.
It was to prevent such an awkward situation from happening.
Gu Nianzhi was a woman after all, and she had no relatives to make decisions for her. The other party could do whatever he wanted and inform her after making a decision. Did he even ask for her opinion?
He Zhichu sneered as he opened the curtains and looked at the setting sun outside the window. He said dryly, "I'm in the right position. I was representing the bride, the other main character of the engagement party, Miss Gu. Have you communicated with Miss Gu about the decision to postpone the engagement party? If there's no communication, what right do you have to postpone it? "
The other party froze for a moment before saying, "… But this is Huo Shao's decision. Miss Gu will definitely not object."
More importantly, there was nothing he could do about it.
He Zhichu was furious. He was certain that Nianzhi had no family, so he could do whatever he wanted to her, right?!
"She definitely won't object, but you'll have to ask her first. Since you're not sincere, then there's no need to hold the engagement party in a month. "
That person said anxiously, "What right do you have to say no?!"
"Then what right do you have to postpone it?!"
He Zhichu hung up abruptly and stood in front of the window with a stern expression before calling Gu Nianzhi again.
He looked at the location on his phone. Gu Nianzhi had already returned to her apartment on Sanhuan Road. She wasn't at the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
The phone rang for a while before Gu Nianzhi finally answered. "Professor He? Why are you calling me at this time? Do you want to treat me to dinner? "
Gu Nianzhi's laughter was like a sweet spring that instantly calmed He Zhichu's restless heart.
He rubbed his temples and thought about it with a bitter smile. Actually, if he were to personally marry Nianzhi off, he would be cutting his own flesh with a knife …
Unfortunately, some people just didn't cherish it.
He Zhichu composed himself and said, "The Xie family just called me and said that the engagement party would be postponed …"
Gu Nianzhi's breathing visibly stopped for a moment before she feigned casualness and said, "So be it. They're the organizers, so of course they have the final say."
It was obvious that the other party hadn't discussed it with Gu Nianzhi before deciding to postpone it.
He Zhichu felt even worse, but seeing that Gu Nianzhi was already upset, he didn't have the heart to criticize her in front of her. Saying that would only make Gu Nianzhi feel worse.
He Zhichu changed his words and said confidently, "Don't worry about it. I'll talk to them about this. If they have any difficulties, I'll organize the engagement party for you. "
Gu Nianzhi finally let down her guard against He Zhichu and opened up to him.
Her voice was a little choked up and a little awkward as she said softly, "Thank you, Brother He."
He Zhichu's eyes were a little moist when he finally changed Professor He to "Brother He".
He Zhichu grunted and said in a low voice, "Nianzhi, don't worry. I'm a member of your family. If they did something wrong, I'll come forward and negotiate with them. "
How could a girl be allowed to handle her own engagement? Would she have to hold her own wedding in the future?!
At the thought of this, He Zhichu had the urge to beat Huo Shaoheng up.
The girl he had in his hands and couldn't get was being put aside as a decoration by him. Did he really think that he and Gu Nianzhi were already settled and that Gu Nianzhi wouldn't be able to leave him for the rest of her life?
Hehe..
He Zhichu took out a tissue, wiped his hands elegantly, and threw it into the trash can.
Gu Nianzhi spoke a little more to He Zhichu before hanging up and calling Huo Shaoheng.
He Zhichu was also calling Huo Shaoheng at the same time.
But no one could get through.
Because Huo Shaoheng was in a meeting.
He was forming a team for the "research ship".
This "research ship" was called a scientific research ship, but in fact, the only real scientist on board was Song Jinning.
From the captain, chief officer, to the sailors, soldiers, and the equipment experts from the military's General Armament Department, they all had to be carefully selected.
In addition to the "research ship", they also had to be equipped with cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and anti-submarine patrol ships for protection.
The cruisers were the personal bodyguards of the "research ship", providing it with air defense, anti-ship, and anti-submarine protection.
The destroyers provided protection for the cruisers and expanded the scale of air defense, anti-ship, and anti-submarine protection.
There was no need to mention the submarines. When such a large "research ship" was dispatched, the safety of the seabed depended on the powerful nuclear submarines.
The anti-submarine patrol ships were used to deal with the opponent's submarines.
To put it bluntly, the battle at sea was still a matter of "using one's spear to attack one's shield".
It was to see whose spear was sharper and whose shield was harder.
Because they needed to rely on the equipment experts from the General Armament Department this time, the General Armament Department had specially sent the political commissar, General Xiao, to attend the preparatory meeting to express the General Armament Department's support and importance to this operation.
The political commissar of the General Armament Department was second only to the minister of the General Armament Department in terms of administrative rank, but his power within the organization was even greater than that of the minister.
Huo Shaoheng held a laser pointer and showed the generals and ministers his operation arrangements on the big screen. Finally, he said, "The purpose of this trip in the name of the 'research ship' will be absolutely confidential. Everyone, don't ask me what I'm going to do. In short, everyone will know after the operation is over. "
The General Armament Department only knew that they were going to the high seas to salvage a submarine. As for who the submarine belonged to and why, everyone knew nothing.
Those who knew the real purpose had been told not to tell anyone.
However, with Huo Shaoheng's identity and job functions, even if they thought with their toes, they would know that this time was a top state secret, so they didn't ask blindly.
General Xiao, the political commissar of the General Armament Department, was a very calm middle-aged man. He also looked very handsome.
He expressed his unconditional support and said, "Major General Huo, this is the roster of our General Armament Department's equipment experts. Take it and choose. It's our honor to serve our country, but it's also our responsibility. "
The big shot of the General Armament Department had already spoken, let alone the other departments. They were afraid that if they were too slow in expressing their stance, their limelight would be stolen.
Therefore, the meeting this time was very successful.
After the personnel were confirmed, the special operations forces still had to carry out an independent political review to confirm that there were no problems with these people as soon as possible.
This required the mobilization of the entire country and even the field personnel of the special operations forces from all over the world to work together to ensure that all the political reviews would be completed within three days.
Therefore, Huo Shaoheng had been so busy these days that he hadn't returned to his official residence even once. Almost all of his meals and accommodation were in the office building.
After the meeting, General Xiao took a few steps behind and smiled at Huo Shaoheng. "Major General Huo, I heard that you postponed the engagement banquet because of this?"
The invitation to Huo Shaoheng's engagement banquet had already been sent out, but because of this matter, it had been postponed for a month.
Huo Shaoheng nodded with a smile. "The mission is more important. The engagement banquet isn't in a hurry. We'll do it when I get back."
Although he also felt that changing the time at the last minute was a little unfair to Gu Nianzhi, he couldn't continue waiting when he thought that Gu Xiangwen's whereabouts were finally clear.
Even though he knew that Gu Xiangwen's chances of survival were very slim, he still couldn't help but hope that if he rushed over earlier, that slim chance of survival would increase a little.
General Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion, "It's not easy for you either. Your fiancée can understand, right?"
"She understands." Huo Shaoheng was very at ease with Gu Nianzhi. She understood his work and what it meant to be the family of a soldier.
"That's good. Your Auntie Chen and I have already prepared gifts. Both the engagement and marriage are double. We're just waiting for you to do something big! "General Xiao smiled boldly and left.
Chen Lie followed behind Huo Shaoheng and said with a smile, "Xiao Ye's personality is more like uncle's."
General Xiao, the political commissar of the General Assembly, was Xiao Ye's father.
Xiao Ye's mother, Principal Chen, was Chen Lie's aunt.
Chen Lie would also be going on this operation.
He was the best doctor, and taking him out to sea was also a precaution.
Huo Shaoheng had made the most thorough preparations for this time.
It could be said that he had been preparing for this day for seven years.
After seven years of sharpening his sword, he was finally going to unsheathe it.
Huo Shaoheng's expression was as usual. He chatted with Chen Lie as he walked out of the office building.
He could finally go back and take a shower.
As soon as he walked out of the office building, the ban on his phone was lifted, and calls came in one after another.
He took out his phone and glanced at it.
Two of the calls were from Gu Nianzhi, but after being told that Huo Shaoheng was in a meeting, she stopped calling.
The other 20 or so calls were from He Zhichu, that lunatic.
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's mouth twitched, and he called Gu Nianzhi back first.
Unfortunately, Gu Nianzhi didn't answer the phone and went straight to her voicemail.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and called Xiao Ye, who lived with Gu Nianzhi.
Xiao Ye immediately picked up and asked in confusion, "Major General Huo, it's so late. What's the matter?"
Huo Shaoheng asked calmly, "Is Nianzhi home?"
Xiao Ye took her phone to Gu Nianzhi's bedroom and smiled. "Miss Gu is taking a shower …"
No wonder he called her. It was probably because no one picked up Gu Nianzhi's phone.
Huo Shaoheng was relieved. "Okay, it's fine."
He immediately hung up on Xiao Ye.
At that moment, He Zhichu called again.
He didn't know what was wrong with He Zhichu again.
Huo Shaoheng cursed silently. He quietly put on his Bluetooth headset and transferred the call to a private channel so that it wouldn't be monitored.
"Professor He, what's the matter?" Huo Shaoheng walked to a spot not far from the entrance of the official residence. He wasn't in a hurry to go in. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and stood under the tree to smoke.
He Zhichu asked immediately, "Huo Shaoheng, did you discuss with Nianzhi beforehand about postponing the engagement party?"
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
He blew out a smoke ring and said calmly, "I'll tell her."
"Tell her?!" He Zhichu sneered. "What kind of tone is that? Is Nianzhi a pet that you can summon at will? Have you ever thought of respecting her? "
Huo Shaoheng's face turned cold. "This is between me and Nianzhi. It has nothing to do with you."
"It has nothing to do with me, but if you want to postpone your engagement party with Nianzhi, it has something to do with me." He Zhichu put one hand in his trouser pocket, his face as cold as snow. "What the hell is the big deal with you? You even have to postpone the engagement party!"
Huo Shaoheng ignored him.
Did he need to explain his actions to He Zhichu? What a joke.
"You're not going to speak? Ha, you postponed the engagement, but why didn't you postpone the sex?! You're making excuses. Do you not want to take responsibility? Let me tell you, I can take Nianzhi away from you at any time, and you'll never be able to find her! "
He Zhichu was so angry that he almost spoke incoherently.
Huo Shaoheng's face was as dark as the night.
He directly hung up on He Zhichu and asked Fan Jian to drive the car over immediately to take him to Gu Nianzhi's apartment in the Third Ring Road.
