Guo Huining's heart skipped a beat. She was so scared she forgot to cry. She looked at Huo Guanchen and said anxiously, "General Huo, aren't you going to say something? I'm just helping you take care of your father. Do I need a background check too? "
Huo Guanchen glanced at Huo Shaoheng and said nonchalantly, "A background check is necessary but there's no need for the most stringent background check, right? She's just an assistant I hired to take care of your grandfather's affairs. She's not my assistant. "
Guo Huining nodded quickly, "Yes, yes! Grandfather Huo is just a normal person … "
Huo Shaoheng smiled, "I'm just being cautious. Miss Guo threatened our soldiers today to sue him for sexual harassment. Didn't she do everything she could to get into the military HQ compound? "
He looked at Huo Guanchen calmly, "General Huo, if you can guarantee that Miss Guo won't use your name to intimidate others, I won't ask the legal department to do the most stringent background check."
Guo Huining's face instantly turned red. Fortunately, she was standing in the dark and no one could see her. Otherwise, she would have found a hole to hide in. She cursed Dou Aiyan, who had given her the idea, in her heart.
If she knew it was so hard to get into the military HQ compound, she wouldn't have barged in.
At that moment, she deeply understood the gap between her and the Huo family. At the same time, her desire to be with Huo Guanchen grew stronger.
But she couldn't rush it. She had to take it slow.
Guo Huining composed herself and said quietly, "It was my fault today. I'll listen to General Huo's orders from now on. I won't do anything I shouldn't do. I'll take good care of your father for you."
Huo Guanchen glanced at his personal secretary.
His personal secretary understood and placed the insulated lunch box Guo Huining brought back in her hands, "Miss Guo, don't come here again. If you want to come, you must go through the most stringent background check. "
The people who lived here were not ordinary people. If anyone could just barge in, how could it be so heavily guarded?
Guo Huining took the lunch box sheepishly and bowed to the people around her, "I'm sorry for the trouble. I'll leave now."
She turned around. Her frail figure and stumbling footsteps made her look a little pitiful.
Huo Guanchen sighed and glared at Huo Shaoheng. He reprimanded him. "It's not your business, but you're quite active!"
"General Huo, I'm doing this for the sake of the Chief's safety and reputation." Huo Shaoheng turned around disapprovingly and said to the people from the legal department, "You all saw that Miss Guo was hired by General Huo. Although she's only at his private residence, aren't you worried about General Huo's safety in his private residence?"
Huo Guanchen frowned. "You still want to investigate?"
In fact, he was already doing a background check, but it wasn't a public one.
However, Huo Shaoheng had spoken in front of so many people, so Huo Guanchen had to give him face.
Was Guo Huining more important, or was his son more important? Was there a need to choose?
Huo Shaoheng replied calmly, "I'm also worried about your and grandfather's safety. I can understand grandfather's reluctance to return to the military headquarters to recuperate. However, the person you're looking for must have a clean background and must not be involved with external forces. "
Huo Guanchen nodded. "You don't have to worry about the domestic side. Just get the Special Operations Forces to investigate Guo Huining's overseas connections. I'll investigate her domestic background. "
Huo Shaoheng was slightly taken aback, but he immediately reacted and said, "Since General Huo has said so, I'll immediately get the Special Operations Forces to apply for permission from the Senate and the cabinet."
Otherwise, the Special Operations Forces really wouldn't be able to interfere in Guo Huining's affairs.
Huo Guanchen nodded and his tone softened. He asked Huo Shaoheng, "Did you come back to see your grandfather? Your grandfather isn't here. "
Since Huo Guanchen gave him face, Huo Shaoheng wouldn't refuse to give him face. He smiled and said, "I originally planned to visit grandfather. Since grandfather isn't here, I'll visit grandfather at your private residence another day. But since I'm here today, I'll go to the Xiao family to see how Xiao Ye is doing. "
Actually, he had come to see Xiao Ye, but now he could only feign it.
Huo Guanchen knew that Huo Shaoheng's real purpose was to see Xiao Ye.
His eyes flashed and he said, "Xiao Ye? I'll go with you. In order to save Nianzhi, she was almost crippled. You really should visit her often. By the way, where's Nianzhi? How many times has she seen Xiao Ye since she came back? "
Huo Shaoheng turned around and walked towards his car. He said, "Nianzhi kept asking to see Xiao Ye, so I brought her here."
Huo Guanchen's face immediately grew long. "She's been back for more than a month. She hasn't seen your grandfather yet, has she?"
Huo Shaoheng smiled but didn't say anything. He got into the car.
Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin had already slipped back into the car from behind the tree. Huo Guanchen didn't even see the father and daughter.
However, his guards saw them, but they knew that Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were very high-ranking security personnel, so they didn't stop them.
Huo Shaoheng got into the car and saw Gu Nianzhi curled up in the car seat. He knocked her head in amusement. "What are you hiding from? Let's go see Xiao Ye. "
Gu Nianzhi sat up straight with a smile. "I'm just worried that Major General Huo will be in a difficult position. General Huo is so aggressive. I'm so afraid that he'll start a fight with you at the door! "
"Are you still worried that I won't be able to defeat General Huo?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and fastened her seat belt.
"I'm not worried that you won't be able to defeat General Huo. I just don't want Guo Huining to be too complacent." Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. "How powerful must a man be to scold his own son for her sake?!"
"You're worrying too much. General Huo would never do such a thing. " Huo Shaoheng was still at ease about this. Although he mocked Huo Guanchen for having poor taste, he knew that this person would never be unable to distinguish between priorities.
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself that in terms of power and benefits, there was indeed no need to worry that Huo Guanchen would choose the wrong side.
However, Huo Guanchen still impressed Gu Nianzhi when it came to grandfather Huo.
She nodded and whispered, "It doesn't seem that bad. Grandfather Huo has been out of power for so long, but General Huo is still quite filial … "
Huo Shaoheng started the car and drove towards Xiao Ye's house. He said casually, "You don't have to doubt the father-son relationship between General Huo and his father."
Gu Nianzhi burst out laughing. "No wonder General Huo looks at Guo Huining in a different light. She's quite good at finding an entry point."
She knew that Huo Guanchen was filial, so she found someone to save grandfather Huo. Of course, this great favor would allow her to enter the house.
However, for the time being, she could only enter the private house. She couldn't enter the Huo family's mansion yet.
Lu Jin didn't say anything in the back seat. He didn't care what Huo Shaoheng and Huo Guanchen's attitude towards Guo Huining was. Anyway, he would remember that Guo Huining had humiliated Gu Nianzhi.
Getting the Hong Corporation to fire Guo Huining was just a small punishment.
If she still didn't repent, Lu Jin would get Boss Lu to teach her a lesson. Therefore, Lu Jin smiled as he looked at the night view outside the car. He didn't take Guo Huining seriously.
The car soon stopped at the entrance of the Xiao family's small courtyard.
Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi, and Lu Jin got out of the car and rang the doorbell at the entrance of the courtyard.
The Xiao family's orderly opened the door and saluted Huo Shaoheng. "Hello, Chief!"
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand. "Are General Xiao and President Chen here? Let's see Xiao Ye. "
Not long after, Huo Guanchen's car arrived. After getting out of the car, Huo Guanchen's gaze fell on Lu Jin, who was beside Gu Nianzhi.
