Huo Shaoheng came to the kitchen and saw Gu Nianzhi rinsing the cherry tomatoes with water. He walked over naturally and took the fruit basket from her.
Gu Nianzhi was so immersed in her thoughts that she almost didn't notice that someone had come in.
She only noticed Huo Shaoheng when he stood beside her and started to wash the fruits.
Gu Nianzhi quickly turned around to look. Seeing that Lu Jin hadn't followed her in, she quickly said in a low voice, "Did you also think my dad spoke strangely just now?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly, his voice even lower than Gu Nianzhi's. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him."
Gu Nianzhi immediately felt relieved.
She had absolute trust in Huo Shaoheng's abilities. If Huo Shaoheng said to watch over Lu Jin, then Lu Jin would definitely be fine.
Her mood lightened as she chatted and laughed with Huo Shaoheng. After washing the fruits, she placed them in the same bowl and returned to the living room together.
On the large TV screen hanging on the wall of the living room, the camera had already moved away from Ishihara Baisan and was now focused on another person.
This person was also speaking with fervor and assurance.
"Eh? Mr. Zheng Yonghao, the Huaxia Regional Executive of the BMI Fund? "Gu Nianzhi glanced curiously.
It was the female host who had introduced him earlier.
Zheng Yonghao looked to be in his forties. He was about 1.7 meters tall and looked a little greasy.
He was so fat that his belly was protruding out. He was wearing a suit that fitted him well, which made him look even fatter.
He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and had thick lips. He liked to make gestures when he spoke.
He was in high spirits as he said, "Our Bimei Foundation is the world's largest charity foundation. We recently signed a contract with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to cooperate on genetic medicine clinical trials. Mr. Ishihara Baisan is the chief scientist and person in charge of this project. "
It took a long time for a new drug to be developed and put into use.
In the later stages, there would be a total of three clinical trials, each of which would be larger and longer than the previous one. Therefore, the development of new drugs was very difficult.
If Ishihara Baisan hadn't been in charge of this plan, Gu Nianzhi would have applauded.
Unfortunately, she just couldn't stand Ishihara Baisan.
Huo Shaoheng didn't want to let preconceived notions affect his judgment. Gu Nianzhi wasn't that "fair and objective."
This person was actually helping Qin Yaoguang. Gu Nianzhi couldn't tolerate it.
Gu Nianzhi placed the jasper fruit bowl on the coffee table in front of the sofa and said to Lu Jin, who was watching the television intently, "Dad, do you want some fruit?"
Lu Jin came back to his senses and nodded. He slowly took out a small and exquisite cherry tomato from the jasper fruit bowl and put it in his mouth to chew.
The sweet and slightly sour taste filled the entire mouth, making it irresistible.
Lu Jin swallowed, picked up the glass of water, and took a sip. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and said with a look of disdain, "Do the people at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have brains? They actually allowed foreign NGOs to conduct drug trials in our country. "
Gu Nianzhi blinked and asked curiously, "… But in the context of global division of labor, isn't it normal for everyone to exchange what they need? What's the benefit of seclusion? "
Lu Jin glanced at her and patiently explained, "Of course, it's too extreme to close the country, but if we're talking about mutual exchange, will these organizations that came to our country to conduct drug experiments hand over the formula of the new drug and share it with the Chinese Academy of Sciences? If not, then don't mention it. "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
"But the formula for the new drug should have a patent, right? Why would they just take it out and share it with others? "Gu Nianzhi asked in confusion.
"That's right, why would they just take it out and share it with others … But they want to conduct drug trials in our country, and they don't have the formula. Don't you worry?"
Lu Jin rolled his eyes rudely. "And even if they take out the formula, I don't believe it's complete. These foreign NGOs are used to hiding their true motives. Would they tell you the truth? They're too naive to believe them. "
Gu Nianzhi didn't know anything about this, so she chose to believe Lu Jin.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "That Ishihara Baisan praised Qin Yaoguang so much just now. I wonder if he knows about you, Dad? You're ten thousand times better than Qin Yaoguang! "
"Who wants such a person to know?" Lu Jin sneered and shook his head. "He's lowering my standards."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help it. She almost spat out the water she had just drunk.
However, she still choked and started coughing.
Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng took the tissues together and handed them over from both sides.
Gu Nianzhi looked down and saw that the two hands in front of her were doing the same thing. Her mood was as good as a begonia under the spring sun, blooming with extreme beauty.
She smiled and took the tissues from both sides. "Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mr. Peter."
Lu Jin glared at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng didn't lower himself to Lu Jin's level. He smiled and retracted his hand. "You're welcome."
At that moment, the greasy middle-aged man on TV, Zheng Yonghao, had already finished speaking, and the performance began again.
Gu Nianzhi was no longer interested.
She really wanted to investigate this Ishihara Baisan.
Gu Nianzhi quietly took out her phone and started searching.
Half of Huo Shaoheng's attention was on Gu Nianzhi, and the other half was on Lu Jin.
Lu Jin kept watching the TV, as if he was very interested.
Gu Nianzhi searched around, but didn't find anything wrong with Ishihara Baisan.
His resume was completely different from Ishihara Baisan's, and his research direction was also different.
Was she really thinking too much?
..
Time flew by, and soon it was time for the New Year's Eve bell to ring.
The song "An Unforgettable Night" rang out, instantly bringing people back to the atmosphere from decades ago.
Gu Nianzhi put down her phone and hugged Lu Jin's arm with a smile. She said loudly in his ear, "Happy New Year, Dad!"
Lu Jin seemed to be shocked, but he quickly came back to his senses. He wrapped his other arm around Gu Nianzhi and hugged her. He also smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Nianzhi!"
Huo Shaoheng also said, "Happy New Year, Uncle Lu. Happy New Year, Nianzhi."
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at him and winked. "Happy New Year, Mr. Peter."
Lu Jin stood up and stretched. "Alright, there's no need to watch anymore. Everyone, rest early."
He waved his hand at Gu Nianzhi and spoke with a tired expression.
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "Dad, you should sleep early too."
Lu Jin turned to leave the living room, but when he reached the door, he stopped. He turned around and frowned. "Mr. Peter, aren't you leaving?"
Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to stand up as well. He looked deeply at Gu Nianzhi and said, "… Good night."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help blushing.
Fortunately, the living room was far away from the door. Otherwise, Lu Jin would definitely be able to tell.
"Good night," Gu Nianzhi said in a low voice. Her heart was so full of happiness that it was about to overflow.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her smooth cheeks, which were as clear as a pearl. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he restrained his desire to kiss her. He said hoarsely, "I'll wake you up tomorrow morning and tell you good morning."
"Okay, I'll wait for you …" Gu Nianzhi's lips moved so softly that it was almost inaudible.
However, Huo Shaoheng's professionally trained hearing was very sharp, and he could read lips. Even if he couldn't hear her, he could still know what Gu Nianzhi was saying.
His emotions were surging, but it couldn't be seen on his face.
"Hey! Why aren't you leaving?! Are you going to wait until next year's New Year? "Lu Jin shouted rudely from the door.
Huo Shaoheng nodded at Gu Nianzhi and strode out of the living room.
When he reached the door, Huo Shaoheng said, "Uncle Lu, I'll stay at President Lu's place for the night."
Lu Jin grunted and said rudely, "You can stay anywhere, as long as it's not at my girl's place."
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
After Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng left, Gu Nianzhi sat on the sofa alone for a while to calm herself down before going to the bedroom to sleep.
It was just after midnight, and the sound of firecrackers was still going on outside.
The entire city was immersed in the atmosphere of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
At that moment, the door to Lu Jin's suite opened.
Lu Jin walked out of the room wearing a dark gray matte fabric coat, a cap on his head, and night vision glasses with far-infrared and satellite transmission functions.
He walked to Gu Nianzhi's door and touched it fondly. Finally, he kissed it before turning around and leaving resolutely. He entered the elevator.
As soon as the elevator door closed, the door to Lu Yuan's suite opened, and Huo Shaoheng walked out.
His appearance had been completely modified, and it was impossible to tell his original appearance at all. He only looked like a tough thug with broad shoulders and long, lean legs.
He also had a thick beard on his face, and he also wore sunglasses with far-infrared and night vision functions on the bridge of his nose.
He raised his hand to look at his watch. A red dot was clearly displayed on it. It was Lu Jin's coordinates.
He could see the red dot approaching like a garage.
Huo Shaoheng strode into the elevator and chased after Lu Jin.
..
At that moment, not far from their apartment complex, a group of well-dressed people walked out of the television station building.
The Spring Festival Gala was over, but the people who attended the gala were still very excited.
Zheng Yonghao, the executive of the Huaxia Region of the Beimei Fund, whispered to Ishihara Baisan, "Mr. Ishihara, today is the Spring Festival Gala. It's a day of celebration. Why did you mention Ms. Qin Yaoguang at this time?"
"Can't I just express my regret? You Huaxia people have no concept of the law. She hasn't been convicted. She's just a suspect. This is her right, "Ishihara Baisan said disapprovingly as he bent down to get into the car.
