What should she do?
Guo Huining's gaze naturally fell on Hong Ziqi who was sitting next to her.
Oh right, Hong Ziqi was in charge of the Hong Corporation's hotel. As long as Hong Ziqi still recognized her, she could enter … right?
Guo Huining's eyes flashed as she hung up. Her tone softened as she said to Hong Ziqi, "Ziqi, I want to treat everyone at the Hong Corporation's hotel. I booked it a few days ago. I want to invite General Huo, Grandfather Huo, Major General Huo, and his fiancée, Miss Gu."
Hong Ziqi was driving when he remembered the unpleasant scene with Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng that day. He quickly said, "You should treat them to a meal. Everyone should talk nicely. You should apologize and let them cool down."
Guo Huining was a bit unhappy. If they were happy, then she would be unhappy …
But now she was under someone else's roof. Apologizing to Gu Nianzhi was a small matter. She wanted to use her relationship with General Huo to return to the Hong family.
Last time she listened to Dou Aiyan's words and saved grandfather Huo. It was a stroke of luck. Good things come to good people.
Guo Huining gradually cheered up and nodded. "Yes, but you have to do me a favor."
"What favor? Tell me. "Hong Ziqi laughed." I'm still your fiancé. You don't have to be so polite. "
"… Tsk, just now you told me not to be so overbearing. Now you're telling me not to be polite. You're the god, you're the ghost, you're the only one who's reasonable, right? "
Hong Ziqi was annoyed.
Guo Huining didn't understand what he meant.
He smirked. "Huining, being overbearing and not being polite are two different things. I could tell a long time ago that you have a problem with your attitude towards people. You either put yourself too low or think too highly of yourself. You're too extreme. You're on your own. "
Guo Huining was furious. Hong Ziqi was an ignorant playboy. What right did he have to criticize her for her way of doing things?!
She came from an ordinary background. Before she climbed up the social ladder, if she didn't bow and scrape to those people, would they even care about her?!
Didn't she get to know Hong Ziqi because of her superior attentiveness?!
Now he said she didn't know how to do things. Didn't she want to be on equal footing with those people?!
It was easy for her to say that!
But now she was still hoping that Hong Ziqi would let her go to the Hong Corporation's hotel or she would lose face in front of Dou Aiyan.
She hadn't actually sent out the invitation yet. She could change the venue now.
There were so many places to treat people to meals in the Capital, and the Hong Corporation's hotel wasn't the only place.
But because she had boasted in front of Dou Aiyan and wanted to use this opportunity to make Hong Ziqi swallow her words and humiliate her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and insist on staying at the Hong Hotel. She even had to coax Hong Ziqi into agreeing.
Guo Huining was annoyed just thinking about it, but in order to see Gu Nianzhi's swollen face, she felt that it was worth it even if she had to suffer in front of Hong Ziqi and the Hong family.
The hierarchy in this world was so clear that she sometimes felt tired.
She felt sometimes felt was so to be so to to to. But this time, you must help me! " Guo Huining pouted and begged, "I've already told people — General Huo, Major General Huo, and Grandfather Huo — they're all people of high status. I can't just change the place on the spot, can I?"
"It's not like you don't know those people care about their reputation the most. If we change the place we eat, people will think that we're not respecting them. "
"Look, it wasn't easy for me to find someone to cure Old Master Huo. It's a good opportunity to build a relationship with them. It would be a pity if all my efforts go to waste."
Hong Ziqi remembered that Huo Shaoheng had blocked his number and wanted to apologize to him, so he quickly said, "I know, of course I can't change the location. But what does this have to do with my help? "
"Of course." Guo Huining blushed. "It's like this. I told them that the place was the Hong Conglomerate's hotel, but … Old Master said that I'm not allowed to step into the Hong Conglomerate … "
Hong Ziqi was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and said, "Did Elder Ancestor really say that?"
Guo Huining nodded. "In the oval conference room on the top floor of the headquarters, in front of the board members."
"In that case …" Hong Ziqi thought for a moment. "I'll call the Old Ancestor."
He dialed Old Madam Hong's number and quickly said, "Elder Ancestor, I have something to tell you. Huining wants to invite General Huo Guanchen and Major General Huo Shaoheng to our hotel, as well as their grandfather, as well as Major General Huo Shaoheng's fiancée, Miss Gu. Do you think you can make an exception for me … "
Old Madam Hong frowned. "Guo Huining wants to invite the Huo family to dinner? Why? Why must it be at our Hong Conglomerate's hotel? "
She was actually not very familiar with the Huo family because she was old, and the Huo family's power was mainly in the military. The senior officials of the Empire that Old Madam Hong paid attention to were all cabinet and business leaders, not the Huo family.
Hong Ziqi quickly explained, "General Huo Guanchen is the director of the military's political department, and Major General Huo Shaoheng is even more powerful. I can't tell you the details, but Huining offended Miss Gu last time, so this time she wants to invite her to dinner to apologize in person …"
"… Guo Huining offended Miss Gu?" Old Madam Hong's almost cloudy eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. "When did this happen? The Miss Gu you're talking about is Major General Huo Shaoheng's fiancée? "
"Yes, don't you remember? Their engagement ceremony was broadcasted live on TV. It was hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin. " Hong Ziqi avoided the topic and changed the topic with a smile. "You also praised Miss Gu for being delicate and beautiful …"
Old Madam Hong suddenly remembered. "… This Miss Gu is called Gu Nianzhi? And she's a lawyer? "
"Yes, yes! You know her? "Hong Ziqi was even happier." Why don't you come on the day of the dinner? "
Old Madam Hong's frown deepened. She was keenly aware that something was wrong.
Although she was not familiar with the Huo family, she was very familiar with the power structure of the upper echelons of the Empire.
"Then when did Guo Huining offend Miss Gu? What did she do to offend her? "Old Madam Hong was not so easy to fool, so she persistently asked.
Hong Ziqi hesitated a few times, but couldn't resist Old Madam Hong's sharpness. In the end, he confessed everything. "… That's it. It's actually not a big deal. It's just for a reserved seat …"
Old Madam Hong was so angry that she wanted to laugh. "Just for a seat? Ziqi, do you really think she thinks the same way? "
"… Did Guo Huining ask you to make this call? I told her not to enter the Hong Corporation, so she asked you for help? "
"I really can't hide anything from you, old lady." Hong Ziqi smiled mischievously. "Dear old lady, dear old lady! Just promise me this once! This time is really important! "
He accidentally blurted out, "… Huo Shao already blocked my number! I still have to ask Xue Jingjiang to help! "
"… Xue Jingjiang? He's very close to Major General Huo? "Old Madam Hong stood up, her hand trembling as she held her walking stick.
She knew Xue Jingjiang. He was the favorite of the two elders of the Xue family.
"Yes, Huo Shao is Xue Jingjiang's childhood friend. They've known each other since they were young. And Xue Jingjiang has always listened to Huo Shao and followed his lead! "
Old Madam Hong's heart sank.
The Xue family had a much deeper foundation than the Hong family, and Huo Shaoheng was Xue Jingjiang's childhood friend. Moreover, Xue Jingjiang followed his lead. That was no ordinary background!
