"A good match?" Huo Shaoheng didn't even turn around. "Who are you talking about?"
"Of course it's them …" Chen Lie giggled as he pointed at He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi on the laptop screen. He gathered his courage and continued, "Look, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Don't they look like a perfect couple?"
Huo Shaoheng turned to look at Chen Lie coldly. "Lovers? What kind of nonsense is going on in your head? "
"Isn't that the case?!" Chen Lie was overjoyed. He thought to himself, That's what you get for pretending. Now that you can't keep up the act, you must be angry out of humiliation …
"Of course not." Huo Shaoheng flatly denied it. He curled his right hand's pinky, ring, and middle fingers into his palm. His thumb was up, and his index finger extended to point at He Zhichu on the screen. "He's Nianzhi's professor. Don't you know the rules of American schools? A teacher in a teacher-student relationship would be fired. If the student was underage, the teacher would go to jail. If He Zhichu wants to lose his reputation, I'll fulfill his wish. "
Chen Lie gaped at Huo Shaoheng. Why did Huo Shaoheng's hand look like a gun when he pointed at the screen?
Huo Shaoheng did not forget to ridicule Chen Lie. "You're also a famous national miracle doctor, known as the God of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the military. How can you be so ignorant and ill-informed?" Huo Shaoheng did not forget to mock Chen Lie. He hit where it hurt, directly attacking his professional skills.
Chen Lie hated it when people questioned his professional skills. He was so angry that he jumped up and stormed around the living room, but he was tongue-tied and didn't know how to respond for a long time. After a while, he awkwardly defended himself. "Why are you so angry? I'm just saying … Besides, Professor He is an expert at playing with the law. How could he let anyone get hold of him? "
Huo Shaoheng turned his head to continue watching the video. He took out the flash drive and transferred the video to the flash drive. "Don't flatter me. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"What dirty thoughts do I have?" Chen Lie suddenly realized that he was the one who had flown into a rage out of embarrassment.
When did Huo Shao become so eloquent? In the past, even if you offended him, he might beat you up, but he would never argue with you …
Chen Lie grumbled indignantly, "Tsk! A fair and graceful lady is a gentleman's desire! If you don't beg, why can't others beg?! Don't be too overbearing! "
"Why can't I? If I didn't, would Mei Xiawen still be around Nianzhi? " Huo Shaoheng's hand paused, and he regained his usual composure. He copied all the videos and deleted all the related videos on Chen Lie's computer to an irrecoverable state.
"Mei Xiawen?" Chen Lie paused. "Who's Mei Xiawen?"
Huo Shaoheng stopped talking. He pulled out the flash drive and got up to leave.
"Oh! I remember now! Mei Xiawen was Nianzhi's Class Rep! Huo Shao, you actually know his name? Hahahaha … No matter what, they are of similar age and looks, a perfect couple! Nianzhi already agreed to let him be her boyfriend in six months. " Chen Lie slapped his forehead and yelled at Huo Shaoheng's tall back, "Tsk tsk, look at that tone of yours. Do you think Nianzhi should thank God for being able to have a proper relationship?"
However, Chen Lie didn't hear Huo Shaoheng's reply. What awaited him was the sound of the door closing.
…
The Huaxia Imperial Military's charity foundation, Jin's Heart, was quickly established. All the legal procedures were in place, and there was a dedicated staff, all of whom were elites from the 6th Military Region.
When Gu Yanran heard about it, she almost gasped.
"Someone already donated? And anonymously? Is this news true? " Gu Yanran read the email that Deputy Director Feng of the Huaxia Imperial Secret Service had sent her. Her brows furrowed as she muttered, "No way? These conditions are too harsh. Why would anyone agree to it? Did someone really donate that money? Or did they do it on purpose … "
She had originally wanted to take control of the charity foundation under Huo Shaoheng's name, and work for him from behind the scenes.
She was the one paying, so of course she had the right to speak. Otherwise, who would be stupid enough to do that? Did they really treat the money as nothing?
That 90 million US dollars was really donated just like that? And anonymously?
It seemed fake no matter how she looked at it. Could it be that they were trying to trick her into donating more money?
This kind of thing was common in the business world. It was like selling antiques at an auction. Everyone would bid against each other, and the highest bidder would win.
Gu Yanran didn't believe that anyone would give 90 million US dollars to the military without asking for anything.
Her own total assets were only a few hundred million US dollars, and that was after adding in a lot of real estate, stocks, and bonds.
If she only looked at the amount of liquid funds she had, it would take her a month to raise 90 million US dollars.
Gu Yanran thought about it and called her lawyer in the United States. "Jennifer, can you get someone to help me investigate the Huaxia Imperial Military's newly established charity foundation? Did someone really donate? "
The lawyer was a very smart and capable female lawyer. As soon as she heard Gu Yanran's explanation, she exclaimed, "Impossible! That's impossible! I'll contact our branch in the Huaxia Empire and see if they have any information. "
Putting down the phone, Gu Yanran reclined on the cream-white, dark-gold brocade sofa and stared out at the fine, rainy scenery outside the window.
Large droplets of rain fell on the banana leaves outside the French windows, washing the leaves verdant and green.
Summer in C City was almost over, right?
It was almost September, and the weather was about to turn cold.
Gu Yanran looked down at the letter in her hand, as if trying to find evidence that the other party was lying from between the lines.
Soon, Ifer called her back. "Yan, I can't help you with this. This time, the Huaxia Imperial Military is led by the newly established 6th Military Region. Our people can't reach the 6th Military Region for this charity foundation. "
"6th Military Region?" Gu Yanran gripped her phone and suddenly said, "I got it. Thank you, Ifer."
If she remembered correctly, the 6th Military Region was the territory of Major General Huo, whom she had high hopes for …
A faint smile appeared on Gu Yanran's face. She curled her thumb and middle finger and used an ivory toothpick to pick up a piece of golden cantaloupe. She placed it in her bright red lips.
Since Major General Huo wanted it, she would grant him his wish.
"Someone, prepare 10 million US dollars in cash and transfer it to the account given by Deputy Director Feng." Gu Yanran ordered as she ate the cantaloupe.
She had four or five senior secretaries on standby at all times, and there were countless decisions she had to make every day. Every minute involved millions of dollars of business.
"Also, tell Deputy Director Feng that we'll inject the remaining 40 million in installments." Gu Yanran stopped eating after two pieces of cantaloupe and stood up to push it to her secretaries. "These cantaloupes are pretty good. They were flown in yesterday and grown naturally in a special manor. The quality is comparable to the specially-supplied ones here."
The secretaries sat over and ate a piece each. Gu Yanran continued to order, "Book a few more plane tickets. I want to go back to Barbados. I've been here for too long, so I'll go back for now. "
…
A few days after Gu Yanran left, Deputy Director Feng received news that Gu Yanran had originally promised to donate 50 million US dollars to charity, but only donated 10 million. The remaining 40 million would be injected in installments.
He was very unhappy that he had sacrificed the lives of his own country's soldiers for her. Now that things had been settled, she was starting to bargain …
Huo Shaoheng listened to Deputy Director Feng's complaints over the phone and said dryly, "Return the 10 million to her. Consider her blueprints as payment. You don't have to have anything to do with her anymore. " He paused and warned Deputy Director Feng, "Old Feng, you're not allowed to do anything for this woman in the future. Don't have anything to do with her anymore. Do you hear me?
