When she finally returned home from the Senate building, Gu Nianzhi didn't even finish her dinner. She was so sleepy that she was about to pass out.
Huo Shaoheng knew she was exhausted.
She had just gotten off the plane in the morning and had been busy at the Senate for a whole day. At night, she was still so scared by Lu Jin's "autopilot" car that she couldn't even move her legs.
Most people would have collapsed to the ground after encountering so many things.
It was already very good that Gu Nianzhi hadn't been able to open her eyes until now.
Half-supporting and half-carrying Gu Nianzhi, he brought her back to his official residence at the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
Gu Nianzhi immediately fell asleep and slept until almost noon the next day.
When she woke up, she looked at the dark bedroom and thought that it was still dark outside.
After sobering up for a while, he took out his phone and looked at it, only to find that it was already noon the next day.
She woke up all of a sudden, got up quickly, took her clothes to the bathroom to take a shower, and put on a facial mask. After cleaning herself up, she came out of her room.
In the dining room downstairs, Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze were having lunch. Huo Shaoheng had already finished eating and was reading the briefing.
Gu Nianzhi walked over with a smile and said, "Huo Shao, did you help me apply for leave today?"
Huo Shaoheng didn't even raise his head as he replied calmly, "You didn't wake up no matter how I called you this morning, so I helped you ask Speaker Long for a leave of absence."
Gu Nianzhi sat down next to him and rested her head on his shoulder. She said sweetly, "We really have telepathy. I just woke up and looked at my watch. My intuition told me that you must have asked for leave for me."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let her sleep for so long.
Yin Shixiong snickered and tapped his knife and fork against the plate. He winked and said, "Nianzhi, I'm not afraid of bursting your rose dreams. I was the one who called Speaker Long this morning to ask for your leave. "
Gu Nianzhi immediately retorted, "… Huo Shao must have asked you to call, right?"
Huo Shaoheng glanced at Yin Shixiong and said calmly, "There will be a meeting at the headquarters this afternoon to discuss the list of directors to be stationed in Africa next year. Big Xiong, I have high hopes for you."
Yin Shixiong trembled in fear and screamed, "Huo Shao! You're abusing your position for personal gain! Revenge! "
Zhao Liangze took a sip of his iced drink and smiled. "Big Xiong, my base at the Cape of Good Hope in Africa is developing very well. Why don't you go take a look? I haven't been there in a while. "
"Go if you want to! I … I just got married! We can't just leave Qi Qi behind! "Yin Shixiong made a ruckus with half truths and half lies.
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "Brother Xiong, Huo Shao was just trying to scare you. He wouldn't actually do it. — Right? Mr. Huo? "
It was as if Huo Shaoheng hadn't done it before!
Huo Shaoheng grunted after a long time. She couldn't understand what he meant at all.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.
It seemed like Huo Shao was still a different existence to Gu Nianzhi.
Soon, Gu Nianzhi's food was delivered. She ate two mouthfuls before realizing something and said, "President Lu clearly said that he was going to the Senate to deliver food to me. Aiya, did you inform President Lu?"
Huo Shaoheng put down the briefing and said, "No, should I call President Lu?"
Gu Nianzhi quickly took out her phone and dialed Lu Yuan's number.
"… CEO Lu, this is Nianzhi. Where are you now?"
Lu Yuan was standing in front of Gu Nianzhi's office with a lunch box.
Looking at the big "On Leave" label by the door, Lu Yuan smiled bitterly. "Chief Gu, shouldn't you inform me in advance if you're on leave?"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She wasn't used to Lu Yuan being so polite all of a sudden.
After a while, she realized what was going on.
Lu Yuan was probably near her office.
Her office was in the Senate building, and there were people coming and going there. It wasn't good to be too familiar with her.
At present, the number of people who knew about her relationship with Lu Yuan and Lu Jin was still relatively small.
Gu Nianzhi quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, CEO Lu. After I got home yesterday, I felt like I had fainted and slept until now."
"This morning, Major General Huo sent someone to ask Speaker Long for leave. I'm not going to work today. Why don't you come to Major General Huo's place? I'm at Major General Huo's official residence. "
Lu Yuan nodded. "I'll be right there. Please wait a moment."
Gu Nianzhi put down her knife and fork happily. "… What about lunch? Bring it over! "
Huo Shaoheng silently dragged Gu Nianzhi's bowl over and finished her lunch.
Gu Nianzhi coughed lightly to cover up. "Major General Huo, your orderly's cooking has been average recently."
The corners of Yin Shixiong's mouth twitched. He smiled and said, "Nianzhi, you weren't picky in the past. You ate happily at Major General Huo's place …"
"I'm not picky now either …" Gu Nianzhi's eyes darted around as she watched Huo Shaoheng's movements from the corner of her eye. She said, "I just can't let CEO Lu bring me food for nothing."
"You still say you're not picky!" Yin Shixiong glared at her. "If Major General Huo made these dishes himself, would you eat them?"
"Major General Huo made them himself. They're much better than this!" Gu Nianzhi said confidently. "How many people are willing to make do with something delicious after eating it?"
"That's all you're after!" Zhao Liangze finished his lunch and put the dishes on the tray. He said, "I'm done. I have a meeting in the afternoon. I'll go back to the office to organize the materials first."
Yin Shixiong also stood up and said, "I'm going too. Otherwise, I'll be sent to Africa. I'll live up to my name as an unlucky person!"
Gu Nianzhi winked at him. "Brother Xiong, I have high hopes for you! Qiqi is a lucky person! "
Yin Shixiong pointed at her with his finger and left Huo Shaoheng's official residence with a smile.
After Huo Shaoheng finished Gu Nianzhi's meal, he had no intention of leaving. He picked up a newspaper from the magazine rack at the back and continued reading.
Gu Nianzhi felt a little guilty and talked to Huo Shaoheng from time to time.
Huo Shaoheng only used one syllable to brush her off the entire time.
Gu Nianzhi was too embarrassed to argue with Huo Shaoheng.
When Lu Yuan came in with the food box, Gu Nianzhi was relieved. She skipped over and took the food box from Lu Yuan's hand. "President Lu, you're finally here! I'm a person who keeps his promises! "
"You keep your promises?" Lu Yuan teased her with a smile. "You keep your promises, but I ended up empty-handed?"
"… Hehe …" Gu Nianzhi took out a plate of delicious food from the food box and placed it in front of her. She picked up her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Of course I keep my promises. I said I wanted to eat the food you sent me, so I ate the food you sent me. I didn't even eat a single grain of rice cooked by someone else! "
Lu Yuan: "…"
Huo Shaoheng flipped a page of the newspaper as if nothing had happened and continued to stare at it.
Lu Yuan was secretly amused, but he didn't expose the undercurrent between the two of them. He just went to the kitchen to make himself a cup of tea and sat opposite Gu Nianzhi. He watched her eat in big mouthfuls for a while before saying, "Nianzhi, we wanted to sue that Narita Yamaguchi reporter."
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "We wanted to sue him too. Why?"
"… But we found out that he was missing. Our lawyer in Japan couldn't find him and couldn't serve the court subpoena. "
Gu Nianzhi was very surprised. She wiped her mouth with a napkin and said in surprise, "… You've already filed a case in Japan? So fast? "
"From the moment he humiliated you in the Netherlands, your father couldn't wait to teach him a lesson," Lu Yuan said with a smile. He glanced at Huo Shaoheng and said, "Shaoheng, did your people keep an eye on this person in Japan?"
Huo Shaoheng closed the newspaper and threw it to the side. He said, "We lost him in the Netherlands. There's no news of him leaving the Netherlands for the time being. Where did you find out that he went back to Japan? "
Lu Yuan smiled sheepishly and said, "It was Professor Lu … who hacked into the intranet of Narita's news agency and found his phone number. But surprisingly, Narita used a very old phone. Other than making calls, he couldn't even send or receive text messages. He could only look at the weather and stock data."
Gu Nianzhi understood and said, "… Then it's useless to hack into his phone."
"Yes, there's nothing in his address book, let alone store it. He can't even save a high-definition photo."
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "It seems that Uncle Lu is a little faster than us. Our talent has just infiltrated the news agency where Narita works, and there's no news yet. "
"I'll make a long story short. Professor Lu found that he couldn't hack into Narita's phone, so he installed a GPS system in his phone."
"That way, we'll know immediately where he goes."
"… But how can we prove that the phone is in his hands?" Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, "If the phone was given to someone else or lost, wouldn't we lose track of the target?"
"Yes, that's possible." Lu Yuan nodded. "The closest signal that Professor Lu found was in Japan. Then the signal disappeared. "
"We checked the recent entry and exit records of the Japanese customs and confirmed that Narita Yamaguchi had indeed returned to China. That's why we asked our lawyer in Japan to file a case in the court and follow the court to deliver the subpoena. "
"… But he's not at his home."
