Huo Shaoheng nodded lightly. "My cooking skills aren't great, but it's still edible. But if you're not used to my cooking, I can order food for you. "
When Lu Jin heard this, not only was he not angry, he became happy. He said to Lu Yuan, "Boss Lu, look, the people you found for us don't know how to cook!"
"… Although Mr. Peter learned it at the last minute, you can only measure rice and cook porridge with a measuring cup. What right do you have to criticize him?" Lu Yuan sneered and stood up. "Besides, Mr. Peter is mainly responsible for your personal safety. Cooking is just incidental."
"Oh, why are you throwing a tantrum?" Lu Jin shrunk his neck and muttered, "I was just saying. Anyway, I have money, so why would I be afraid of not having enough to eat?"
"It's good that you know." Lu Yuan didn't want to talk to Lu Jin anymore.
Lu Jin didn't know how to speak to begin with. Now that he had a woman, everything was fine. He had no scruples, so his words became even more unpleasant.
Gu Nianzhi quickly tried to smooth things over and change the topic. "President Lu has to be careful when he's going to the South personally … I've checked the history of the Qin Orphanage. It's almost a hundred years old, and it's deeply rooted in the South. It's been standing strong for so many years, so it must have a foundation."
Lu Yuan's expression cleared up slightly. He smiled and said, "That's for sure, so I want to make a trip myself. Otherwise, I won't be at ease."
Huo Shaoheng saw that Gu Nianzhi was worried and smiled. "President Lu is very capable. No matter how powerful the Qin Orphanage is, it's only a charity organization. How can it be more powerful than mercenaries?"
Gu Nianzhi became even more worried when she heard this. She said worriedly, "Oh no, what if they have mercenaries? No, they definitely have mercenaries! CEO Lu, why don't you not go? I'll go look for Young Master He … "
"Then why don't I go?" Huo Shaoheng stood up without batting an eyelid. He didn't want Gu Nianzhi to go see He Zhichu again.
Although He Zhichu and He Chengjian were in high positions of power, they had to follow the rules here. Every move they made was watched by countless people.
The Qin Orphanage had been established for a long time, and it had always been a well-known brand in the south.
In the past twenty years, with the rise of Qin Yaoguang and the Qin family's private hospital group, their reputation had soared throughout the country.
When dealing with an organization that relied on its reputation for a living, the slightest bit of carelessness could be caught by others and they would immediately be scolded by the people online.
Therefore, it was not as good as Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan, who could show off their skills in private and stir up trouble.
Lu Yuan patted Huo Shaoheng's shoulder and asked him to sit down. He said with a faint smile, "… Lian Po is old, but he can still eat."
What he meant was that he was not old and could still fight in Jianghu.
Both Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi understood what he meant.
Lu Jin didn't know if he understood or not. He rolled his eyes. "All you know how to do is eat. You're not convinced of your old age."
"President Lu is not old at all. Nowadays, little girls really like a man like President Lu. He's worth having. "Gu Nianzhi kept trying to smooth things over for Lu Jin. She was also tired.
Lu Yuan pointed at Lu Jin and said, "For Nianzhi's sake, I won't argue with you. Keep an eye on Nianzhi. She's in a dangerous situation. Don't give her a chance to act on her own. "
"She's my daughter. Do I need you to tell me that?" Although Lu Jin was bragging, he didn't dare look Lu Yuan in the eye.
He realized that Lu Yuan seemed to be aware of his actions and had been spying on him recently.
In the face of Lu Yuan's pervasive surveillance methods, even Lu Jin's "high-tech" had to retreat.
For example, he had once placed a small breath detector in Lu Yuan's bedroom. It could detect whether Lu Yuan was really asleep, pretending to be asleep, or not in the bedroom at all.
In the end, it was quickly discovered by Lu Yuan, and he even pulled out the small solar panel from his breath detector. How ridiculous!
Lu Yuan gave him a meaningful look. "It's good that you know. Now that she's back by your side, if you still can't take care of her, then find a piece of tofu and kill yourself. "
Lu Jin's spirit of seriousness flared up. He said seriously, "Tofu can't kill people. Its hardness can't be compared to a skull at all. Boss Lu, you actually said that because you don't want me to die, right? Boss Lu still has me in his heart. Although your words aren't pleasant to hear, I appreciate your kindness. "
Lu Yuan: "…"
Don't add drama to yourself! He doesn't have you in his heart at all!
Lu Yuan turned his gaze blankly and nodded at Gu Nianzhi. "I'll send you a message. Remember to receive it."
"Okay, thank you, President Lu!" Gu Nianzhi was moved as she walked Lu Yuan to the elevator door.
Lu Yuan's mood recovered. He smiled at her and said, "Go back and keep an eye on your father. I think he's planning something big again …"
Gu Nianzhi immediately thought of Lu Jin's strange words from time to time recently. Her heart sank, and she quickly said, "President Lu, you mean …?"
"Literally. Your father is a genius. A genius's brain circuit is different from ordinary people like us." Lu Yuan sighed. "Nianzhi, you're also a genius. You should be able to understand your father's thoughts."
Gu Nianzhi smiled bitterly. "President Lu, compared to my father, my so-called genius is like a firefly competing with the sun. They can't be compared at all."
"But you're the most important thing in his heart, so as long as you pay more attention to him, he won't bear to leave you." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the elevator door slowly closed in front of him.
..
After Lu Yuan left, Huo Shaoheng stayed in Lu Yuan's apartment.
Gu Nianzhi already knew that Lu Yuan was Huo Shaoheng's uncle, Huo Guanyuan, so she didn't think it was inappropriate.
However, Lu Jin still couldn't stand the sight of Huo Shaoheng living in Lu Yuan's apartment. Sometimes, he would pick on Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng himself was also quite busy. He wasn't in the apartment half the time during the day, but he was definitely there at night, and he would be there from sunset.
Gu Nianzhi could no longer care about "mediating" the "discord" between Huo Shaoheng and Lu Jin. She was fully focused on preparing for Monday's court session.
On Sunday night, she went to bed early.
Huo Shaoheng came to her apartment and sat on the sofa in the living room, flipping through a few military and technology magazines.
Lu Jin also walked in with his computer and sat on the sofa opposite Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng said politely, "Uncle Lu, I'll be here. You can go back and rest."
"I'm guarding against you!" Lu Jin blurted out.
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Lu Jin looked at him righteously. "This is my daughter's apartment. What does it look like for a man and a woman to be in the same room? With me here, no one will gossip! "
He spoke as if he cared about other people's "gossip".
However, Huo Shaoheng knew that Lu Jin actually didn't care what other people said at all. Perhaps it wasn't that he didn't care, but that he couldn't hear it at all. This was because most of his attention was focused on his own scientific research, and he had always ignored other people's gossip.
However, today, he had used "gossip" as an excuse. He felt very helpless.
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's lips curled up. He lowered his head and continued to read the military and technology magazines here. He learned a lot of good things.
..
Gu Nianzhi slept soundly that night. She had no idea that in her living room, the two most important men in her life had been "confronting" for the "ownership" of her living room sofa all night.
Gu Nianzhi finished washing up and came to the living room. She saw that Huo Shaoheng and Lu Jin were both there. Huo Shaoheng was fine. He was full of energy, as if he had just slept.
Lu Jin, on the other hand, was much more dispirited. His dark circles were frighteningly heavy, and his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he hadn't slept last night.
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "Dad, go get some sleep. I have to go to court today, so I can't accompany you."
"No, no, even if I have to sleep, I have to go to court to sleep," Lu Jin insisted. "I promise I won't snore."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
Huo Shaoheng said to her calmly, "Let's go together. I'll take care of Uncle Lu. If Uncle Lu falls asleep, I promise he won't snore in court. "
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's eyes twitched uncontrollably. She said, "Okay then, you two take care of each other."
However, this way, Gu Nianzhi's only bit of nervousness disappeared.
It wasn't until she walked into courtroom No. 1 and saw He Zhichu and He Chengjian sitting inside that she became nervous again.
"Hello, Young Master He, General He." Gu Nianzhi greeted them.
"Yes, Nianzhi, it's up to you today." He Chengjian nodded in satisfaction and turned to the person behind him. "Qingying, will your media release the transcript of today's trial?"
"According to the law, we can broadcast live text, but not video or audio." Xie Qingying walked out from behind He Chengjian and He Zhichu.
She was tall and voluptuous, but standing next to He Zhichu, she didn't stand out much.
"Cousin Nianzhi, you can do it!" Xie Qingying reached out to her.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her hand. "Cousin Xie, I will."
The two of them separated and walked to their seats.
Xie Qingying sat with He Zhichu and He Chengjian, and she was sitting between them.
Huo Shaoheng led Lu Jin in with the large group of people from the court and found a place to sit down in a corner.
There were so many people here today. Members of the Qin Private Group's legal team, senior executives, board shareholders, relatives and friends of the Qin family.
Gu Nianzhi's gaze quickly swept over and she actually saw Wen Shouyi at the witness stand!
She quickly flipped through the file in her hand and realized that Qin Yaoguang's lawyer had summoned Wen Shouyi to be Qin Yaoguang's character witness.
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow and immediately adjusted her defense plan.
She said to the judge, "Your Honor, I also want to summon two people to appear in court."
The Qin Corporation's lawyer immediately objected. "The other party can't just add people."
"Then how can you let Miss Gawain be a witness?" Gu Nianzhi wasn't that easy to fool.
"… We applied an hour and a half before the court hearing." The other party was obviously deliberately taking advantage of the legal loophole and skirting the line.
According to the law here, the summons of a new witness had to be applied at least an hour before the court hearing, so as to give the other party some leeway.
It was obvious that she had been taught by the same master as Wen Shouyi.
Gu Nianzhi immediately looked at her watch and said in return, "There's still one hour, three minutes, and fifteen seconds before the court hearing. I'll officially apply to the court to summon Wen Dayou and Liang Meili as suspects."
