"General Ji, was Miss Gu Yanran the one who made this huge donation? She finally transferred the money? "
Colonel Zhu, who was in charge of finance in the office of the Imperial Army's Supreme Commander, couldn't stop smiling when he saw the numbers in the bank account. "Oh my, 90 million US dollars! It's almost double the 50 million US dollars we agreed on previously, hahaha … looks like our Major General Huo has made a great contribution again! "
Look, not only was the excess remittance set up for a charity fund, but it was also named after Major General Huo!
Tsk tsk, he couldn't help but be impressed …
Colonel Zhu was almost humming a tune as he carried a stack of documents to General Ji's desk.
General Ji was wearing presbyopic glasses. He looked up at him and said in a neutral tone, "Colonel Zhu, I'm very worried about you handling finance like this. It looks like I'll have to change my finance supervisor."
"Huh?" Colonel Zhu placed the documents on General Ji's desk and said anxiously, "General Ji! If I did something wrong, just say it. What do you mean by saying that? I've been with General Ji for more than a decade. Even if I don't get credit, I still get credit for my hard work … "
"Shut up." General Ji stopped him. "Does financial work talk about hard work? If I asked you to lead troops to war and you made the wrong soldiers, would you still dare to say that you got credit for your hard work?! "
"General Ji … I was just being humble. Did you really take it seriously? When did I ever make a mistake? "Colonel Zhu muttered unhappily as he stood in front of General Ji's desk.
Bai Yueran, who had been sitting in the corner of the room and watching with a smile, finally burst out laughing. "Colonel Zhu, you really made a mistake. This money didn't come from Gu Yanran. I'm telling you, it's understandable if you say the wrong source in front of Uncle Ji. Uncle Ji won't really do anything to you, but if you say the wrong thing in front of Huo Shao later, you better pray for your own good. Neither Uncle Ji nor Uncle Long will be able to save you. "
Colonel Zhu became nervous and quickly took out all the bank account information to look at it carefully.
"Oh my god! It's not Gu Yanran? Who is it? This name … was crossed off … "Colonel Zhu looked for a long time before finding a remittance note. It turned out that the sender had requested to be anonymous.
Colonel Zhu's rank wasn't high enough, so he couldn't see who the donor was.
"Yeah, you just need to know that it wasn't Gu Yanran." General Ji took off his reading glasses and threw them on the desk. He rubbed his eyes. "You can leave now. Is Major General Huo here?"
"Uncle Ji, I'll bring him in." Bai Yueran walked out with a smile.
…
Huo Shaoheng stood alone in General Ji's reception room. He was dressed in a formal military uniform, the buttons on his chest neatly buttoned. A thick military leather belt was wrapped around his waist, and the bottom of the belt was tightly attached to a sharp curve. His long legs were wrapped in knee-high military boots, making his shoulders look even wider and his waist more slender. His legs were long, and his back was wide. He was tall and imposing, and his aura was as steady as a mountain.
He put his hands in his trouser pockets, and his eyes fell on a vivid painting of a tiger descending the mountain hanging on the south wall.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Huo Shaoheng turned around to look.
"Huo Shao, Uncle Ji is asking for you." Bai Yueran nodded at him. "This way, please."
Huo Shaoheng turned to walk out as he asked, "Why did you come back?"
Bai Yueran used to work here before being transferred to the 6th Military Region. If she wanted to come back, she would need to get Huo Shaoheng's approval.
Bai Yueran quickly explained, "It's like this. General Ji has some matters to attend to here, and it just so happens to be related to my previous work here. It also involves Huo Shao, so General Ji secretly ordered me to come here alone."
Huo Shaoheng nodded and didn't say anything else as he arrived at General Ji's office.
"Shaoheng, you're here? Have a seat. "General Ji was all smiles when he saw Huo Shaoheng, and waved him to sit beside him.
This was the student he was most proud of, a sharp blade that the Empire had been patiently waiting for, and also the secret weapon of the upper echelons of the military.
The most important thing for a powerful country and a powerful army was to have successors.
Huo Shaoheng sat beside General Ji and rested his hands on his knees. His back was straight, and it was the standard military posture.
"Huo Shao, don't be shy. It's a good thing today." Bai Yueran winked at Huo Shaoheng playfully and placed a cup of Da Hong Pao tea in front of him. "Please enjoy, Huo Shao."
General Ji chuckled and patted the back of the chair. "It really is a good thing. Yueran is right. Shaoheng, don't be like this. I don't even know how to sit properly."
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "General Ji must be joking. This is an office, not your home. How can I not be serious?"
"That's true." General Ji laughed heartily and placed a stack of documents on the coffee table in front of them. "Shaoheng, you have a good child. I give you full marks for being her guardian for the past six years! "
Huo Shaoheng froze slightly and looked at General Ji. He couldn't help thinking, Did he mention Gu Nianzhi? Did this girl go to new heights again?
Huo Shaoheng's head hurt. She had only been abroad for two months, and she had already caused so much trouble. Could he really leave her alone?
Bai Yueran glanced at Huo Shaoheng's wary expression and laughed until tears came out. "Look at how anxious Huo Shao is. Uncle Ji, hurry up and tell us. Otherwise, our Nianzhi will be taught a lesson by Huo Shao again …"
"Haha, it really has something to do with Nianzhi? What did she do this time? "Huo Shaoheng chuckled lowly, but he didn't dare relax his gaze.
General Ji knocked on the coffee table. "See for yourself. Nianzhi has done a great service again this time. She donated to the military to set up a charity fund, and she even wanted to set it up in your name. You see, your years of hard work are not without rewards. This child is smart and kind. We made the right decision back then. "
General Ji finished speaking and let out a long sigh.
The room was silent for a moment.
In this room with the tightest security system in the entire Empire, the three of them fell silent.
Huo Shaoheng flipped through the bank transfer information and saw the name of the donation behind "anonymous." His fingers gently caressed it.
Just hearing her name, his emotions were indescribable.
This girl, Nianzhi, was really amazing with a single brilliant feat.
She had previously contributed a lot to the Nandou satellite system. This time, not only did she contribute, but she also contributed money.
Ninety million USD was casually thrown out just like that …
Huo Shaoheng found out from Zhao Liangze that Gu Nianzhi's countersuit against Xin Xinggao had finally been settled with the US military and the CIA. The other party had paid 100 million US dollars in compensation.
10 million US dollars was counted as legal fees and was given to He Zhichu's law firm. Huo Shaoheng had originally instructed Zhao Liangze to deposit the remaining 90 million US dollars into Gu Nianzhi's personal account. It would be her private savings, so that she would have something to rely on when she got married and started a career.
He hadn't expected this mischievous girl to suddenly donate all her money to the military.
Bai Yueran held a translucent bone china teacup in her hand and said quietly, "It's been six years, and we still can't find out where she came from. General Ji, Major General Huo, she'll be 18 in two months. What do you plan to do when that time comes? "
When Gu Nianzhi turned 18, it meant that she was an adult. Legally speaking, she no longer needed a guardian.
Once she became an independent person, Gu Nianzhi would have more freedom.
General Ji rested his chin on his hand and asked Huo Shaoheng thoughtfully, "Shaoheng, what do you think?"
Huo Shaoheng closed the stack of documents and pushed it back to General Ji. He looked down and said dryly, "There's nothing to do. She's just a normal person. Six years of observation is enough. When she turns 18, let her live like a normal person. "
