"… Zhang Baochen?" Old Madam Hong looked down at the information she had just gathered on the Huo family. "This is … Grandfather Huo's illegitimate child?"
Her information showed that Grandfather Huo had an extramarital child with his head nurse, Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng was currently in jail, and had been sent there by the two of them.
Due to the short time frame, the information was not complete, but the basic facts were there.
Old Madam Hong's assistant froze, then remembered that Zhang Baochen's surname was Zhang, not Huo. She hesitated. "… I think so? Old Madam, I can confirm it again. "
"No need." Old Madam Hong raised her hand. "General Huo is Grandfather Huo's first wife's son, and Major General Huo is General Huo's only son. Let's not invite Zhang Baochen for now."
Old Madam Hong knew that this was common among the rich and powerful, but she had to be clear about the priorities.
She frowned. "Guo Huining said that Zhang Baochen is Grandfather Huo's favorite son?"
The assistant nodded. "That's what Miss Guo said. Are you really not going to invite him? "
Old Madam Hong closed the folder containing the information on the Huo family. "Why would I invite him? To make Major General Huo unhappy? Guo Huining could only rely on Zhang Baochen. I overestimated her! "
The assistant shrank back. If it wasn't for Zhang Baochen, Guo Huining probably wouldn't even be able to reach the Huo family's doorstep. How could she recommend a doctor?
But seeing that Old Madam Hong was furious, the assistant didn't dare to argue and quickly agreed.
"Call General Huo and Grandfather Huo. Also, ask Young Master Xue about Major General Huo's number. He's good friends with Ziqi, and Ziqi also said he grew up with Major General Huo. He should have a way to contact him. "
The assistant nodded and returned to her small office to continue calling the Huo family.
She called Grandfather Huo first.
The one who answered the phone was a middle-aged man.
He asked curiously, "May I know who you are looking for?"
The assistant quickly replied, "Hello, is Grandfather Huo Xuenong there?"
The man replied, "Yes, Grandfather Huo is my father. Why are you looking for him? He just took his medicine and went to sleep. "
After Grandfather Huo was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Baochen took him to his home to take care of him personally.
Huo Guanchen had originally wanted to take Grandfather Huo back to the Huo Mansion, but Grandfather Huo wanted to stay with Zhang Baochen and his family, so he didn't insist.
Anyway, Zhang Baochen and his wife didn't have a job now. They had all the time in the world.
Huo Guanchen was busy with work. Even if he brought her back to the Huo mansion, he wouldn't be able to take care of her himself.
Needless to say, Huo Shaoheng didn't return to the Huo Mansion at all.
The assistant smiled and said, "It's like this. I'm the assistant of Old Madam Hong, the chairman of the Hong Group. Our Old Madam would like to invite Old Master Huo to dinner at the newly opened South City Mansion in the capital. Please do come!"
The person who picked up the phone was Zhang Baochen. His heart skipped a beat when he heard about the South City Mansion and Old Madam Hong. "… Treat my father to a meal? Why? "
"… It's like this. Our Old Madam found out that Miss Gu was wronged at our Hong Group Hotel a few days ago and felt very bad about it. She wanted to treat Miss Gu and Major General Huo to a meal and apologize in person."
"And Old Master Huo and General Huo, our Old Madam would also like to invite them to a meal to express our sincerity in apologizing."
Zhang Baochen listened for a long time and still didn't see his name mentioned. He couldn't help but ask, "… Only my father and second brother?"
The assistant smiled brightly. "Mr. Zhang, right? Don't worry. We're only inviting Old Master Huo and General Huo for now because they are Miss Gu and Major General Huo's elders … "
What he meant was that Zhang Baochen couldn't be considered their elder, so his words didn't count.
Zhang Baochen understood what the assistant meant and felt very upset. Because of this, he was even more determined to borrow Grandfather Huo's power to return to the top of the Imperial Capital.
"Ok, I'll ask my father when he wakes up. Send me the location and time of the banquet. Just send it to my phone. "
After sending the information, the assistant dialed Huo Guanchen's number.
Of course, Huo Guanchen didn't pick up himself, but his personal secretary.
"Hello, this is General Huo's office. May I know who you are?"
Old Madam Hong's assistant quickly replied, "I am the assistant of Old Madam Hong, the chairman of the Hong Corporation. We would like to invite General Huo to a meal at the newly opened Chengnan Residence in the Imperial Capital."
"No need, General Huo is very busy."
"… It's like this, Old Madam is treating on behalf of Miss Gu and Major General Huo. Miss Gu and Major General Huo will both be coming, along with Old Master Huo."
The personal secretary heard it was Huo Guanchen's personal matter and quickly went in to report.
Huo Guanchen thought for a while. "Will Father be going too? If he's going, I'll go. "
He recalled Zhang Baochen's call yesterday, saying that he would help Guo Huining. Now that Old Madam Hong, the chairman of the Hong Corporation, was personally attending, she was even more important than Guo Huining and very sincere.
The personal secretary quickly replied, "The assistant said he would go."
Huo Guanchen picked up his phone and called Zhang Baochen. "Baochen, is Father going to the meal? Old Madam Hong is treating. "
Zhang Baochen nodded. "Yes, they just called to invite him."
He sounded a little depressed.
Huo Guanchen ignored it and put down his phone. He said to the personal secretary, "Then go, but my time is limited. I can only stay for half an hour."
For someone of Huo Guanchen's status, taking half an hour to attend the Hong family's banquet was already giving him face.
Old Madam Hong's assistant was overjoyed. "Thank you, I'll have someone deliver the invitation right away!"
After dealing with Huo Guanchen and Grandfather Huo, the assistant called Gu Nianzhi again.
This time, she changed her number because the previous number had probably been blocked by Gu Nianzhi.
"Is this Miss Gu? I — "
Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Nianzhi recognized her voice and snapped, "Why is it you again?"
With that, he hung up the phone and swiftly blocked the assistant's second number.
"… Pfft, so arrogant …" The assistant pouted and stopped trying to persuade Gu Nianzhi. Instead, she called Xue Jingjiang.
"Who is this?" Xue Jingjiang sat at the bar, swirling the cocktail in his hand as he asked nonchalantly.
The number displayed on his phone was unfamiliar.
Old Madam Hong's assistant quickly said, "Hello, Mr. Xue. I am the assistant of Old Madam Hong, the chairman of the Hong Corporation. Hong Ziqi is Old Madam Hong's great-grandson."
"Oh, Old Madam, what can I do for you?" Xue Jingjiang took a sip of his cocktail, his feet tapping to the music in the room.
"It's like this. Miss Gu Nianzhi was wronged at our hotel a few days ago. Old Madam Hong would like to personally apologize to her."
"I just made a few calls and have already invited Grandfather Huo and General Huo to the banquet."
"I just wanted to ask if you have Major General Huo's contact information …"
"Oh, it's that …" Xue Jingjiang smiled ambiguously. "Sorry, no comment."
He ended the call with Old Madam Hong's assistant. He thought about the Hong Corporation's scooter scandal and shook his head.
Guo Huining was such a useless woman. He wanted to see how far the Hong Corporation had fallen.
The assistant had no choice but to anxiously return to Old Madam Hong's study and quietly explain in detail what had happened on the phone.
Old Madam Hong frowned. "Miss Gu still doesn't want to come?"
This young lady was really putting on airs.
But they had been rude to her first, so it was understandable that the young lady would feel uncomfortable and refuse their apology.
You can't have the final say in everything, can you?
You offended her and now you want an apology, but she has to accept it?
She looked at the computer screen in front of her in silence. Even Grandfather Huo and General Huo had accepted the invitation, but Gu Nianzhi still flatly refused.
She was so strong-willed. What did she have to rely on?
After thinking about it, she could only think of Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi was Huo Shaoheng's fiancée, and Old Madam Hong's assistant had yet to speak to Huo Shaoheng.
Old Madam Hong felt a little uneasy.
After thinking for a while, Old Madam Hong stood up with the help of her walking stick. "Pack my things. I want to visit Miss Gu in person."
"Bring the gift. Also, do you know Miss Gu's address? "
