"It looks interesting …" Gu Nianzhi said with interest.
She rested her cheek on one hand and tilted her head in front of Xiao Zhang to watch the socialite gossip with her.
When she saw that Wen Shouyi was also among the "socialites" in a white LV suit, Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and pointed at her photo. "… This person is also a socialite?"
She had thought that socialites had to be girls from prominent families.
"Of course!" Xiao Zhang poked at the photo on the iPad with her finger. "She's amazing! I heard that she's Dean Qin's goddaughter. She graduated from Harvard Law School and is the youngest director of the military. She's also Major General He's personal secretary! "
Although Wen Shouyi was no longer He Zhichu's personal secretary, the general public still didn't know about this.
Gu Nianzhi scoffed. "Dean Qin's goddaughter? Really? "
"That's what they all say because Dean Qin has brought her to some upper-class banquets. Maybe she's his assistant."
Xiao Zhang seemed to remember something and took out her phone. "Let me show you my collection. I can't even bear to use it as wallpaper."
She took out a photo from her phone album and showed it to Gu Nianzhi as if she was showing off a treasure. "See? This is the only photo of Major General He that has appeared on the Internet. You don't know how many ignorant girls you've captured! "
It was a photo of He Zhichu at work when he was promoted.
The young major general was in high spirits. He faced the camera silently and indifferently. His almond-shaped eyes were as deep as the sea and as dark as the night.
He didn't say a word, but he could make people plunge into his deep eyes and drown in them.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at Xiao Zhang. "… Are you also one of the ignorant girls?"
"I used to be." Xiao Zhang corrected her. "When I was young and ignorant, I was his brainless fan. But when I grew up, I knew that I couldn't be Mrs. He, so I hid my love deep and didn't let anyone know. "
Gu Nianzhi looked at her again. "… Don't let anyone know?" She pointed at herself. "I'm not anyone?"
Xiao Zhang giggled. "Of course you're not anyone. You're my boss and my breadwinner. How can you be anyone? Lawyer Gu, to be honest, Major General He has been keeping a low profile all these years. He hasn't shown his face in three or four years. We brainless fans have already climbed the wall. "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
"Come, lawyer Gu, do you want to join the Major General He's Brainless Fan Club with me?" Xiao Zhang pretended to be serious and reached out his hand to her. "I'm the founder. I'll be your president."
Gu Nianzhi giggled and said, "That's not necessary. You can be his fan yourself."
"Don't you think he's very, very handsome?!" Little Zhang was surprised. "Let's not talk about this uniform anymore. I'm a fan of uniforms. I know that. I've already given up on treatment. Just his looks and his abilities are enough to make you fall into a trap, right? How can you be so cruel as to reject him?! "
Gu Nianzhi replied leisurely, "He's quite handsome, but I'm already someone else's hardcore fan. I'm completely loyal to him."
"Tsk, you only know how to brag. Is there anyone more handsome than General He? " Xiao Zhang didn't believe him at all. He rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, you lawyers are so good at talking. It would be strange if I could hear the truth from your mouths."
"You're worth teaching." Gu Nianzhi patted her head and walked back to her office with a smile.
Because their law firm had obtained the Lu Corporation's contract, they were expanding their business. The first thing they did was rent an office on the eleventh floor. They were no longer the small law firm with only two rooms on the second floor.
They now occupied a quarter of the eleventh floor and had about ten rooms.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi had her own office. She had already been promoted to partner.
After entering her office, the smile on Gu Nianzhi's face fell.
She sat back at her desk and stared at the three computer screens in front of her in a daze.
Xie Qingying. She didn't expect Xie Qingying to be here too.
She didn't stop for long before her phone rang.
Gu Nianzhi looked at it. It was He Zhichu calling.
She took the phone and answered the call. She joked, "Young Master He, we still have your brainless fan here."
He Zhichu: "…" He wasn't used to it.
Gu Nianzhi chuckled. "How have you been? What's the matter? "
He Zhichu came back to his senses and said, "Your birthday is coming up. How do you want to celebrate it?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at her schedule and said lazily, "I won't be able to celebrate it this year. I'm going to H City. On my birthday, I'm going to attend the Lu Corporation's celebration party there. "
"The Lu Corporation's celebration party?" He Zhichu frowned. "Can't you not go?"
"No." Gu Nianzhi objected cleanly. "I have to go. There are so many celebrities and socialites. I want to go and watch the show. "
He Zhichu knew that Gu Nianzhi wasn't someone who liked to watch such shows, but since she said she wanted to go, she had to go.
How could He Zhichu not let her go?
He sighed. "Then I'll come to C City early to celebrate your birthday?"
"There's no need to trouble yourself …" Gu Nianzhi said with a smile. "Actually, birthdays are celebrated every year. It's fine to celebrate once in a while."
She chatted with He Zhichu for a while and thought of Xie Qingying and Wen Shouyi, who she had just gossiped with Xiao Zhang. She smiled and teased, "I didn't expect Young Master He's personal secretary to be a socialite. Socialite Wen really likes to be in the limelight at social events! I saw that her socialite ranking is even higher than Prime Minister Xie's niece, Xie Qingying! "
He Zhichu didn't care about Wen Shouyi at all. He immediately said, "She's no longer my personal secretary."
"I know, but others don't." Gu Nianzhi shrugged. "Alright, I was just saying it casually. She's not among the socialites invited by the Lu Corporation this time. Are they well-informed and already know? "
"How would I know?" He Zhichu said as he turned on his computer and searched for news about the Lu Corporation's celebration party.
He saw Xie Qingying's name in the string of sparkling names and couldn't help but pause for a moment.
After hanging up the phone, He Zhichu sat in his office for a while. He felt a little uneasy and decided to ask He Chengjian.
"Dad, when I sent the news back, you investigated the Huo family, right?" He Zhichu sat in He Chengjian's study and asked in a low voice.
"I did. I searched the whole country for three years, but there was no Huo Xuenong or Huo Guanchen. Of course, there was no Huo Shaoheng. What's wrong? " He Chengjian raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Are you worried that Gu Nianzhi will fall in love with someone else because Huo Shaoheng is also here?"
He Zhichu shook his head. "I don't think Nianzhi will fall in love with someone else even if Huo Shaoheng is here. After all, Huo Shaoheng here isn't the Huo Shaoheng over there, even if he looks exactly the same."
If she really wanted to fall in love with someone else, she would only fall in love with him, not a substitute.
After a pause, he added, "Nianzhi isn't a person who looks at appearances."
Actually, he knew that Gu Nianzhi was a person who looked at appearances, but he absolutely couldn't admit it in front of He Chengjian.
He Chengjian laughed. "Then what are you worried about? Actually, it's pretty good to have Huo Shaoheng here. He can't come over there. As soon as he comes over, both of them will die. Wouldn't that be the end of it? "
He Zhichu couldn't tell what he was feeling. He took a deep breath and asked, "What about the Xie family? Have you checked on the Xie family? "
He knew that Huo Shaoheng's grandmother was Xie Ziyan, the eldest daughter of the Xie family.
"This person …" He Chengjian frowned. "To be honest, this person isn't easy to check, because even the Xie family might not know her whereabouts."
He Zhichu's heart tightened. "What do you mean?"
"She left the Xie family in her early years and joined the revolution. Later, she went to the Soviet Union. There, she happened to encounter the Germans invading the Soviet Union, and there was no news of her after that. She hasn't contacted the Xie family for so many years, and they already think of her as a dead person. "He Chengjian put on his reading glasses." Let me show you the information I found. "
He Zhichu read through it quickly and breathed a sigh of relief. "She probably died in the war."
After all, that war had almost wiped out the entire population of that city in the Soviet Union.
..
After a few days, the day to go to H City approached.
Xiao Zhang wanted to buy a few gowns for formal occasions. She didn't want to take a lunch break at noon, so she dragged Gu Nianzhi shopping.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to dress up too grandly. Besides, He Zhichu had already bought her gowns for all seasons. She could just choose a low-key one when the time came.
However, there was a large shopping mall next to the Lu Corporation Building. It wouldn't be bad to go shopping at noon as a way to digest her food.
She chatted and laughed with Xiao Zhang as they walked out of the Lu Corporation Building. Suddenly, a man in casual clothes walked over and said with a smile, "Miss Gu, someone is here to see you. This way, please."
Gu Nianzhi looked up at the direction the man was pointing in. She saw a bulletproof car parked by the side of the road. It looked ordinary, but the license plate wasn't something an ordinary person could use.
She walked over, and the brown car window slowly rolled down. He Zhichu smiled at her.
Gu Nianzhi quickly turned around and said to Xiao Zhang, "My friend came to see me from the capital. I can't accompany you to buy a gown."
"It's okay, it's okay. Lawyer Gu, please help yourself." Xiao Zhang shrunk his neck when he was stared at by the man in casual clothes. He felt uncomfortable and immediately slipped away.
Gu Nianzhi said to He Zhichu, "I still have to work in the afternoon."
"Apply for leave." He Zhichu raised an eyebrow. "I came specially to accompany you and celebrate your birthday in advance."
Gu Nianzhi was stunned and nodded. "Then I'll go apply for leave and get my bag."
She returned to the law firm and told Lawyer Jin that a relative had come to visit her from the capital and that she wanted to apply for half a day's leave.
Lawyer Jin agreed and reminded her, "You're going to H City the day after tomorrow. Have you gotten your plane ticket? And your passport. I've helped you apply for a pass. You can also go to M City. You'll get it in the afternoon. "
"Thank you, lawyer Jin." Gu Nianzhi was very grateful to Lawyer Jin. He had taken good care of her. "I'll come to work tomorrow. Give me the pass."
"Okay, go ahead. Entertain your relatives well." Lawyer Jin smiled and waved his hand. He lowered his head and continued to look at the resumes of the people who had come to apply for the job.
