Guo Huining didn't care to get close to the small fries on the periphery. To shoot a man, first shoot the horse, to capture the ringleader. She wanted to hit the target with one strike and establish a relationship with the most powerful person in the Huo family.
For example, the most powerful person in the Hong family was their ancestor.
The Hong family all listened to her.
Her goal in life was to become someone like the ancestor of the Hong family.
Dou Aiyan glanced at Guo Huining, the corners of her mouth twitching. She felt very uncomfortable.
What did Gu Nianzhi do to deserve both Professor He and Major General Huo's favor?
She had originally thought that no matter how much Huo Shaoheng liked women, he would still be able to distinguish between work and personal matters.
Her sister and Huo Shaoheng had been colleagues for many years. They were clearly in love and were about to get married. However, because of a small mistake, Huo Shaoheng didn't hesitate to send her sister to prison, causing her sister to die a tragic death in Japan.
How powerful could Gu Nianzhi be now? How could she make a cold-hearted man like Major General Huo fly into a rage for a woman?!
At that time, she had wanted to go with Guo Huining to watch the show. She wanted to see how Huo Shaoheng would embarrass Gu Nianzhi.
After all, it was embarrassing to forcibly take a seat in a high-class place like the Hong Corporation Hotel.
She didn't expect Huo Shaoheng to leave the hotel without another word. He didn't even want to eat.
She was also shocked at the time and hid with Guo Huining. She didn't dare to meet Huo Shaoheng face to face.
Now that Guo Huining asked her for advice on who was the most suitable person to apologize to in the Huo family, it was exactly what she wanted. She didn't even need her guidance and immediately told her her idea.
"Huining, grandfather Huo used to have the most say in the Huo family, but I heard grandfather Huo became a vegetable and was admitted to the military hospital. You can't do anything even if you go." Dou Aiyan giggled, "Now it should be Major General Huo's father, General Huo Guanchen? Would his son dare to disobey him? He's more powerful than him in terms of military rank! "
Guo Huining's heart skipped a beat, "… Grandfather Huo was admitted to the military hospital? What about General Huo Guanchen? How can I see him? "
Dou Aiyan, "…"
She didn't even know how to meet him. How did Guo Huining survive?!
Dou Aiyan inwardly rolled her eyes in disdain, but still smiled and suggested: "How about this, you go to the Military General Hospital to see Grandfather Huo, who's in a vegetative state. Then you'll be able to see General Huo, right? I'll go ask my friend when General Huo will visit his father. "
Guo Huining thought that as long as she could see Grandfather Huo, she would have a way to see General Huo …
She smiled and said, "That's great. I'll go see Grandfather Huo first. Aiyan, there's no need to trouble your friend. We have a lot of people in the Hong family anyway. We can send a nurse to the hospital. We'll be able to meet General Huo no matter what."
"Huining, do you think the Army General Hospital is a market? Can you just send someone to guard Old Master Huo? " Dou Aiyan didn't even bother to hide her disdain. "If you're really going to do that, I think you should just forget about it. Compared to the Hong Family, the Huo Family is not only a wealthy family, but also many times more powerful! "
Guo Huining's face was burning. It was as uncomfortable as being slapped in the face.
But she knew that Dou Aiyan had a point.
Guo Huining suppressed her anger, awkwardness, and reluctance. She put on a sincere attitude and asked politely, "Then Aiyan, tell me, what should I do?"
Dou Aiyan thought to herself, I've been waiting for you to say that …
But she still pretended to be in a difficult position. After thinking for a while, she said, "Huining, do you really want to reverse the negative impact of this incident?"
"I want to reverse the negative impact of Gu Nianzhi on General Huo." Guo Huining said stubbornly, "I believe that with the Huo family's status and intelligence, they should be able to prioritize."
Dou Aiyan nodded perfunctorily. "How about this, my uncle knows a very famous neurologist. He's said to be very knowledgeable about treating people in a vegetative state. How about we get him to take a look? "
Guo Huining looked at her doubtfully. "… You mean to treat Grandfather Huo's vegetative state? Will it work? Even if it works, how long will it take? I can't wait. "
"I can't say for sure, let him try first."
Dou Aiyan wasn't sure either. "This person happens to be lecturing at B University's medical school. I'll call his secretary and see if he has time to come over."
"Ok." Guo Huining was doubtful. "But if he agrees, how can he go to the hospital to check on Grandfather Huo's condition? You also said that the Military General Hospital … Normal people can't get in. "
Dou Aiyan was annoyed by Guo Huining's lack of understanding. She gave a fake smile. "… Sister Huining, you'll have to think of a way. That's all I can help you with. "
Guo Huining believed Dou Aiyan now. If Dou Aiyan was trying to trick her, she could have just sent the person over.
Now that she couldn't send the person over, she had a chance to investigate the doctor's background and abilities.
Dou Aiyan saw that Guo Huining had agreed. She took out her phone and made a few calls. After talking with the people on the other end for half an hour, she finally made some progress.
She hung up and happily said to Guo Huining, "Dr. Tony happens to be free in the next few days. When do you plan on finding a chance to visit Grandfather Huo at the Military General Hospital?"
"Dr. Tony?" Guo Huining didn't think the name was Chinese. "Is he a foreigner?"
"Yes, he's an American doctor from the best Johns Hopkins Hospital in the US. He's only in his thirties, but he's already an expert in the neurology department there."
When Guo Huining heard that it was an American, she was relieved. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Aiyan. You've done me a great favor this time. How can I thank you? "
Dou Aiyan nodded with a half-smile. "Huining, that's what I like about you. You don't give me empty promises like 'thank you'. Let's not talk about feelings, let's talk about money, alright? "
Guo Huining's other half of her heart was completely at ease.
After years of working in the business world, she was most afraid of people helping her without asking for anything in return. Experience had taught her that these kinds of favors were the hardest to return.
She loved this kind of favor that was clearly marked with a price.
"Alright, Aiyan did a great job this time. Tell me, how much money do you want?"
"Sister Huining, don't be so vulgar. Don't talk about money all the time!" Dou Aiyan chided. She lightly pushed Guo Huining. "I'm not talking about money."
As she spoke, Dou Aiyan's cheeky expression disappeared. She said seriously, "I hope that in the agreement for Hong Corporation's overseas listing, I'll be appointed as Carlyle's legal counsel."
She was only an intern, but would soon become a permanent employee.
She hoped that her first case would be as big as Hong Corporation's.
Guo Huining was stunned speechless by Dou Aiyan's words.
Dou Aiyan said it was vulgar to talk about money. It wasn't vulgar at all, it was just that she disliked the fact that only paying her commission limited the quantity and quality of her first pot of gold.
If she were to be the legal counsel for a securities underwriter, her commission would be based on the final market value of Hong Corporation. A percentage would be determined …
The current valuation of Hong Corporation was 10 billion USD. After it was listed …
The commission would be unimaginably high!
Guo Huining hesitated for a long time. She said softly, "Aiyan, I'm afraid I can't decide this. Also, you're too inexperienced. You haven't even become a permanent employee yet. You're only an intern. Even if I want you to do it, you can't be a formal legal counsel according to the regulations of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. "
Dou Aiyan smiled. "Don't worry about that. Anyway, I promise that the day I send Dr. Tony over will be the day I become a formal employee. "
"Once I become a formal employee, our deal will officially begin."
But even if she became a formal employee, she would still be a rookie lawyer. There was no reason for her to be a legal counsel for a rookie without a large overseas listing case.
Even if Guo Huining agreed, the shrewd Hong Family wouldn't.
Guo Huining wasn't a person without principles.
She would only agree to other people's conditions as long as she could handle it.
Therefore, she said tactfully, "Aiyan, you're making things difficult for me. Hong Corporation doesn't belong to me alone. Even if I'm the chairman of the board, I can't make such a decision. I'm sorry, I'll find another way. "
Dou Aiyan didn't expect Guo Huining to give up such a great opportunity to curry favor with the Huo Family and refuse to be her legal counsel for this case.
It wasn't that she wasn't disappointed.
But she also knew that her conditions were too high.
She had thought that Guo Huining would help her achieve her wish regardless of the cost, but Guo Huining actually refused.
Dou Aiyan was slightly surprised. Her eyes flashed, and she changed her words to the second plan. "Sister Huining, I really want to help you. Alright, even if I can't be the legal counsel for the Carlyle Group, you can still invite me to be a senior employee of the Hong Corporation's legal department. Is that okay? "
"That's not a problem!" Guo Huining immediately agreed when she heard that she was going to be a senior employee of the Hong Corporation's legal department.
Because this was an area where she could make decisions. She had absolute power.
"But, don't you think it's a pity?" Guo Huining said tactfully. "Although our company is big, it's not as good for your career development as the Carlyle Group. Moreover, you're about to become a full-time employee … "
Dou Aiyan put on an aggrieved expression, tears almost flowing down her eyes. "Sister Huining, I know you really want my best, but you also know that I've been in such a mess with Demoness Yi at the Carlyle Group. Even if I force myself to go back, I'll never have a chance for promotion."
"Instead of being tormented by others there, I'd rather leave and find another place." Dou Aiyan put on a sincere expression. "I was thinking that if Sister Huining could help me just this once, I wouldn't have to worry about Demoness Yi. In the end, I didn't think it through and made things difficult for you."
Guo Huining nodded in satisfaction. "Aiyan, you've helped me a lot this time. I won't mistreat you."
After the two of them discussed the employment details, Dou Aiyan immediately went to contact Dr. Tony.
Because Dou Aiyan had already decided to resign from the Carlyle Group, there was no need to wait any longer. She quickly made an appointment with Dr. Tony.
Guo Huining also asked her own people to find out Grandfather Huo's room at the military general hospital, as well as General Huo Guanchen's contact information.
It wasn't difficult to find Grandfather Huo's room at the military general hospital, but General Huo Guanchen's contact information wasn't easy to find.
Guo Huining then called Hong Ziqi. After explaining for a long time, Hong Ziqi finally agreed to ask Xue Jingjiang if he had General Huo Guanchen's contact information.
However, Xue Jingjiang refused to divulge it. After a few indifferent words, he hung up on Hong Ziqi. She tried again, but couldn't get through.
Guo Huining was shocked when she heard the situation. Had she really kicked a brick wall?
Just as she was at a loss, the person she sent to find out Grandfather Huo's condition at the hospital gave her a piece of news.
Other than Huo Guanchen, there was another family taking care of Grandfather Huo: Zhang Baochen's family.
Zhang Baochen was the illegitimate son of Grandfather Huo and his head nurse.
They had gone to the hospital to take care of Grandfather Huo.
Huo Guanchen was a powerful person, so it wasn't easy for them to find his contact information. However, Zhang Baochen's family were just ordinary people, so it was much easier to find their contact information.
Guo Huining only breathed a sigh of relief when she received Zhang Baochen's family's contact information.
Saving the nation in a roundabout way was also saving the nation, wasn't it?
…
At that moment, Huo Guanchen was smoking outside Grandfather Huo's room.
Grandfather Huo's condition had worsened ever since he was expelled from the military and stripped of his rank. He had become a vegetable and was admitted to the military hospital.
He was now an ordinary patient, and could no longer enjoy any special privileges or care.
It was only because his eldest son, Huo Guanyuan, was a martyr, his second son, Huo Guanchen, was a general, and his grandson, Huo Shaoheng, was a major general that he could continue to stay in the intensive care unit of the military general hospital.
Huo Guanchen was used to visiting Grandfather Huo every Friday. He didn't need to do anything, just sit by his bedside and talk to him.
Grandfather Huo had become a vegetable. According to Chen Lie's diagnosis, Grandfather Huo's condition was considered a chronic disorder of consciousness, and he still had some awareness of the outside world.
Sometimes, he could hear other people speak and his mind would be briefly conscious. However, he couldn't move or speak because moving and speaking required more coordination of brain cells. He couldn't do it for the time being.
For the past year and a half, Huo Guanchen and Grandfather Huo's illegitimate son, Zhang Baochen, had taken turns to take care of Grandfather Huo, each taking half of the responsibility. This was the result of Huo Shaoheng getting the Zhang family to sign a nursing contract.
Of course, Huo Guanchen couldn't take care of him himself, so he hired a professional nurse to come every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
The other four days were taken care of by Zhang Baochen's family because they didn't have the energy to pay for a professional nurse.
Fortunately, it was very easy to take care of a vegetable. Many things were done by the doctors and nurses in the intensive care unit, so the two families continued to live in harmony.
Huo Guanchen himself came to visit Grandfather Huo whenever he was free, but he didn't have a specific time.
Today was only Thursday, but he was still here.
Because he knew that Huo Guanyuan had returned alive, he wanted to talk to Grandfather Huo about it.
However, when he thought of Huo Guanyuan's feelings for Song Jinning, he felt terrible.
He sat by Grandfather Huo's bed for a long time, but couldn't say a word. He could only go outside to smoke alone.
Today was the day that Zhang Baochen's family took care of Grandfather Huo.
Zhang Baochen came alone with a small leather bag.
Seeing Huo Guanchen standing in the hallway smoking, Zhang Baochen bowed humbly and smiled. "General Huo is here."
Huo Guanchen turned to see Zhang Baochen and grunted. His attitude towards him was neither close nor distant, and they could still talk normally.
"Baochen, how have you been?" He casually made small talk.
Zhang Baochen was surprised by Huo Guanchen's attitude. It seemed to be much better than before.
His eyes immediately brightened, and he leaned over to take out another cigarette. He offered it with both hands. "General Huo, please smoke."
He continued, "It's been alright. Although we aren't as rich as before, we're living a simple life as a family. It's more comfortable than before. "
"Don't worry, General Huo. We're not ungrateful people. My mother made a mistake in the past and should be punished. We don't blame the Huo family. Moreover, Grandfather Huo is my biological father. No matter how cruel and ungrateful I am, I will still acknowledge my own father. "
Zhang Baochen's words touched Huo Guanchen's heart.
He couldn't help but have a better impression of Zhang Baochen. He sighed and said, "Time reveals a man's heart …"
