Lu Yuan immediately put on his usual warm smile. He looked at Huo Shaoheng and said kindly, "Mr. Peter, it's rare for our major shareholder, Lu Jin, to be at ease handing his daughter over to another man. You've set a record this time. You must not let down the expectations of our major shareholder, Lu Jin. "
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat. He immediately understood several layers of meaning in Lu Yuan's words.
First, Lu Jin's attitude towards him seemed to have softened. Had he already begun to acknowledge him?
Secondly, Lu Jin doted on his precious daughter to the extreme. Gu Nianzhi was only going to the revolving restaurant to eat with Luo Piaopiao, but Lu Jin was worried about her going alone.
As far as Huo Shaoheng knew, this revolving restaurant was a public place. Why was Lu Jin worried? Was it because Luo Piaopiao was related to the Qin family? Lu Jin was actually worried about the Qin family?
Thirdly, if Lu Jin was worried, why didn't he accompany her personally? He didn't have to go with Gu Nianzhi. He could go alone and stay in the private room. No one would realize the relationship between Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi.
Fourth, if Lu Jin didn't go himself, what did he want to do?
Huo Shaoheng knew very well that the only thing Lu Jin wanted to do now was to accompany his daughter.
But he had started to transfer this precious opportunity to someone else …
Lu Yuan had only said one sentence, but Huo Shaoheng had already quickly analyzed several layers of meaning.
But after thinking so much, he didn't show it on his face and nodded reservedly. "Uncle Lu, President Lu, don't worry. I'll definitely send Miss Gu over safely and bring her back smoothly."
Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin in surprise, then at Huo Shaoheng. She asked in confusion, "It's just a meal at the revolving restaurant. You don't need Mr. Peter to accompany you, right? Also, he is a Soviet diplomat, and I am just a civilian. How can I have the face to make him accompany me? "
Moreover, she had a mission to go eat. She had to get a few strands of Luo Piaopiao's hair for a DNA test.
If she brought Huo Shaoheng along, his eyes would be sharp and crafty. What if she couldn't hide it from him?
Gu Nianzhi instinctively didn't want to drag Huo Shaoheng into the Qin family's business.
This was her family's business and her battlefield. Although Huo Shaoheng was powerful, he could only conceal his identity and use someone else's identity. She knew that his situation was out of his control.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to drag Huo Shaoheng down with this.
Lu Jin yawned and said vaguely with a smile, "It's just a meal. Let's go have a meal with Mr. Peter. Besides, when a woman goes out, she looks noble with a man by her side."
Lu Yuan smiled and "translated" her words. "Nianzhi, your father means that you have to bring a follower with you. I think Mr. Peter would be very glad to be the valet, wouldn't you, Mr. Peter? '
Huo Shaoheng leaned towards Gu Nianzhi and said passionately, "Since you said you want to pursue her, you have to show your sincerity."
"You really have a lot of sincerity. But I just don't like it. What can I do? " Gu Nianzhi wrapped her little panda pillow and rested her beautiful chin on the little panda's head. She looked down at the white carpet on the floor, which was painted with abstract geometric patterns, and tried to hide the sly smile that flashed across her eyes.
"It's okay. One day, you'll like me," Huo Shaoheng said confidently. He didn't care about Gu Nianzhi's rejection at all.
Lu Jin's eyes were filled with jealousy. He had finally found a big treasure with great difficulty, and now it was in someone else's hands. He really couldn't accept it.
He frowned and said to Huo Shaoheng, "Don't be so dramatic. I just asked you to accompany her for a meal. I think you've already imagined getting married and having children. There are a lot of people chasing after our Nianzhi. Go line up. "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Lu Yuan watched from the side, feeling relaxed and happy.
Finally, Lu Jin's poisonous tongue wasn't used on him. It was quite interesting to watch Lu Jin insult others.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and stood up. "It's getting late. I'm going back to my room to rest. I'm going out for dinner tomorrow. I want to sleep a little longer."
"Go on, go on." When Lu Jin turned to look at Gu Nianzhi, the fondness in his eyes was about to spill out. "Sleep a little longer tomorrow. I'll wake you up at 10 o 'clock."
Huo Shaoheng immediately seized the opportunity. "Then I'll come over at 9: 30 tomorrow."
"Why are you coming over so early?" Lu Jin's face turned cold as soon as he looked at Huo Shaoheng. "You'll be the driver and bodyguard tomorrow. Wait in the car obediently."
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Gu Nianzhi couldn't hold back the laughter in her heart. She hugged the panda pillow and ran back to her bedroom. She quickly closed the door and leaned against the back of the door. Her shoulders shook from laughing so hard that they were about to cramp.
Ah! Dad is still the best!
Gu Nianzhi was in a great mood.
She threw the panda pillow on the bed and stood up with the door. She laughed for a while before going to the bathroom to wash up.
After finishing her nightly maintenance routine, she crawled into the thin and soft silk blanket and had a good sleep.
When she woke up the next morning, it was already past nine o 'clock.
The blackout curtains were lowered, blocking out the sunlight outside the window. The room was still dark, as if it was still night.
Gu Nianzhi picked up the phone on the bedside table and looked at it. Only then did she realize that it was past nine o 'clock.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up. She sent He Zhichu a text message.
As soon as she sent it, He Zhichu replied instantly, "… You finally sent me a message. Yesterday, you promised to send me a message when you get home. Have you forgotten? "
He sent a voice message.
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She hadn't forgotten, but she hadn't had the chance to send it.
She smiled and replied, "You're not sending it now? Actually, I'm already home. It's fine, it's fine. "
At that moment, He Zhichu was sitting in front of the window with his phone in his hand. He said a few words into his phone before saying, "Today is the New Year. Aren't you coming to my house for the New Year?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and refused. "No need, I still have something to do. Today, I'm meeting a friend to go to the revolving restaurant on the third ring road for a lobster feast. I hope it'll be delicious. Don't let me down."
He Zhichu replied with an "oh" and asked casually, "Who are you eating with?"
"Luo Piaopiao. I get along pretty well with her." Gu Nianzhi smiled and lifted the blanket to get out of bed.
He Zhichu was a little surprised. "Luo Piaopiao? I thought you got along well with Xie Qingying. "
Gu Nianzhi laughed and didn't want to talk about Xie Qingying. She quickly said, "She's not bad. She's about the same as Luo Piaopiao. It's just that Cousin Xie is quite busy, unlike Luo Piaopiao who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun … Alright, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to be late. Goodbye, Young Master He! "
Gu Nianzhi hung up the phone and went to the bathroom to shower and wash her hair.
He Zhichu saw that she wasn't replying anymore, so he looked at his phone for a while before putting it back into his pocket.
He looked at the winter scenery outside the window and stood quietly for a while. He took out his phone again and replied to Xie Qingying's invitation. "Okay, what time?"
Xie Qingying had just returned from the gym when she heard the sound of a text message coming in. She quickly took out her phone and swiped it open to take a look.
Seeing that He Zhichu had agreed to her invitation, she was overjoyed and quickly called him. "Young Master He, are you really free tonight?"
"Yes, it's just the Little New Year anyway." There were only the two of them at home. Even if it was the Little New Year, it wouldn't be a big deal, much less the Little New Year.
Xie Qingying was extremely excited. She covered her chest with one hand and felt her pounding heart. She smiled and said, "That's great. At seven o 'clock tonight, let's go to the opera house in the imperial capital to watch an opera. Recently, the Soviet Union's National Ballet Troupe has been on tour in China. This is the last performance, and it's also the best one. "
"Yes, what play?" He Zhichu asked calmly, his face expressionless.
"The traditional classic, 'Swan Lake'. I heard from my friends that the four little swans in it dance very well. When I used to learn ballet, I liked to dance the four little swans with others. "
Xie Qingying couldn't stop talking about ballet.
He Zhichu suddenly thought that if Gu Nianzhi had grown up with him here, she would probably have also learned ballet. However, her dancing skills probably weren't that developed. When the time came, looking at the little fat swan with the same hands and feet would definitely be quite cute.
A smile appeared on He Zhichu's face, and his voice softened a little.
"Okay, I'll go," he replied gently.
Xie Qingying felt her legs go weak.
'Oh my, this voice is really mesmerizing …'
She took a deep breath and didn't want to put down the phone. She racked her brains to find something to say. "Young Master He, have you seen 'Swan Lake' before?"
"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it." He Zhichu sat on the sofa and casually picked up the iPad to read the news. He put on his Bluetooth headset and spoke to Xie Qingying.
Xie Qingying also sat on the sofa in her room and said with a smile, "Then do you know that 'Swan Lake' actually has two versions and two endings?"
"Oh? I'd like to hear more. "
"It's like this. 'Swan Lake' is about a princess who has been bewitched by a magician. She is a swan by day and a princess by night. Only by finding a man who truly loves her can she get rid of this spell. "
"A prince took a liking to her and invited her to his coming-of-age ball. He would choose her as his wife at the ball."
"In the end, the magician brought his daughter. His daughter disguised herself as this princess and bewitched the prince."
"The prince mistook her for someone else. He thought that the magician's daughter was the swan princess he had taken a liking to, so he got engaged to her."
"In the end, when the prince realized that he had mistaken her for someone else, it was already too late. He rushed to Swan Lake to save his princess, and then the magician also rushed over to kill the prince who went back on his word and refused to marry his daughter. "
Xie Qingying paused and asked, "Young Master He, are you listening?"
He Zhichu grunted. "And then?"
"And then there are two versions of the ending."
"One is that the princess jumped into the lake to save the prince and died for him. The prince died for love."
"One is that the prince saved the princess, and love triumphed over evil."
"I wonder which version this ballet company will perform this time."
He Zhichu looked up and smiled. "Which version do you want it to be?"
"Of course the prince saved the princess, and love triumphed over evil," Xie Qingying said firmly.
