Gu Nianzhi turned her head to look.
In front of the streetlights of the Senate building, there was a silver black car parked. It was very long and looked very low-key, like a Passat.
However, Gu Nianzhi had good eyesight and caught a glimpse of the car's logo from the corner of her eye. It wasn't a Passat, but a Phaeton.
The price difference between the two was ten times, and because the Phaeton had been discontinued, the rarer it was, the more expensive it was. In the eyes of car experts, the old Phaeton with the highest specs had already been hyped up for a sky-high price.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't tell what specs the car had, but she knew it was definitely not cheap. Grandfather Huo was now a nobody, but he could actually afford a Phaeton …
She narrowed her eyes and turned around to stand silently under a tree that had already lost all its leaves.
The streetlights shone through the bare branches, casting mottled shadows that flickered on and off.
Guo Huining supported grandfather Huo and stood by the car for a while. Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had no intention of coming over, she coughed awkwardly and said, "Miss Gu, won't you come over to meet your future grandfather?"
Gu Nianzhi originally wanted to see what Guo Huining and grandfather Huo were talking about. Hearing Guo Huining's words, her heart skipped a beat. She took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag and said lightly, "Hello, what can I do for you? It's already past seven in the evening. I just got off work and haven't had dinner yet. "
"In Miss Gu's heart, having dinner is more important than meeting your future grandfather …" Guo Huining clicked her tongue. "We haven't had dinner either. Why don't we have dinner together?"
Gu Nianzhi chuckled softly and said very gently, "I wouldn't dare. The last time I went to the Hong Group Hotel for dinner, Miss Guo kicked me out. You haven't even apologized yet … How would I dare to have dinner with Miss Guo? I have stomach problems, so I can't be angry or hungry. "
Rong Mingxing listened for a while and learned that Gu Nianzhi and Guo Huining had this conflict.
She frowned. She really didn't expect that with Gu Nianzhi's status today, she would still be kicked out of a hotel during a meal.
She looked at Gu Nianzhi inquiringly.
Gu Nianzhi whispered, "It's a long story …"
Guo Huining was even more embarrassed, but she still nodded gracefully for Huo Guanchen's sake. "Miss Gu, I was wrong last time. I had eyes but failed to recognize you. I didn't know you were the chief legal advisor of the Senate. Please be magnanimous and spare me this time. "
"Because of what happened last time, I lost my job, and the Hong Corporation also wanted to sue me. Thanks to Grandfather Huo speaking up for me, the Hong family let me go."
She sighed and her voice sounded even more aggrieved. "It's just a meal. I came here today to sincerely invite you to a meal and personally apologize to you."
Without waiting for Gu Nianzhi to speak, Grandfather Huo also laughed heartily and said, "Nianzhi, I know that you and Huining are both good girls. We'll be a family from now on. Let's just say that no discord, no concord … Hahahaha … "
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. She thought to herself, Guo Huining lost her job because she cheated on the Hong Corporation's scooter project. How did it become because of her meal?
Of course, if Guo Huining hadn't humiliated her, Lu Jin wouldn't have studied the scooter launched by the Hong Corporation. Of course, Guo Huining's fraud wouldn't have been exposed by him.
From this perspective, Guo Huining losing her job did have something to do with Gu Nianzhi.
But she had only herself to blame.
It was just like how a thief went to prison because he stole something, not because a passerby reported him.
What was even stranger was that Gu Nianzhi had known about this a long time ago. The Hong Corporation's matter had already been brought to court, but Guo Huining still thought that others didn't know?
What did she mean by that?
Just as Gu Nianzhi was pondering Guo Huining's intentions, Huo Shaoheng walked out of the darkness.
He came to Gu Nianzhi's side and held her hand naturally. "It's so late. Why aren't you home yet?"
Gu Nianzhi looked up at him. Her dark eyes suddenly lit up, even more beautiful than the stars in the night sky.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't help smiling and stroked her hair. "It's cold. Why aren't you wearing a hat?"
Rong Mingxing saw that Huo Shaoheng had arrived and quickly said, "Nianzhi, since Mr. Huo is here, I'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded and said, "Text me when you get back and tell me that you've arrived home safely."
"Okay, I will." She turned around and waved before quickly walking away.
Guo Huining didn't look at Rong Mingxing. Her gaze only fell on the couple standing under the bare tree in front of her.
The man was tall and straight. His aura should be powerful, but he restrained it very well. The light from the street lamp reflected on his face. Half of it was light and the other half was dark, but it added an indescribable charm to his handsomeness.
It made people subconsciously look away after a glance, but that face was already deeply imprinted in their minds.
All the women who had seen him would be disappointed and frustrated …
Guo Huining looked at him for a while. Thinking of Huo Guanchen, she felt proud again.
No matter how good Huo Shaoheng was, he couldn't compare to Huo Guanchen.
In her heart, Huo Guanchen was the real dragon among men!
Grandfather Huo didn't expect Huo Shaoheng to come as well. However, after waiting for a long time and not seeing him come, he was angry and a little guilty.
Although Huo Shaoheng was his grandson, he never put on the airs of a grandfather in front of him.
Of course, Guo Huining didn't know this. She looked away and said with a smile, "Huo Shao is here too. Your grandfather specially came to see Miss Gu. Why don't we go eat together? I can also apologize to Miss Gu in person. "
Gu Nianzhi waved her hand. "It's too late. I want to go home. Miss Guo doesn't need to apologize. You take good care of grandfather Huo. That's the best apology. "
Huo Shaoheng finally looked up and said casually, "It's really too late. Since Miss Guo was hired by my father to take care of grandfather, you should work hard and not do your own personal things during working hours."
Guo Huining froze and quickly explained, "I didn't. Grandfather Huo had dinner today and wanted to go out for a walk. We went for a drive to the Senate building and happened to meet Miss Gu getting off work."
"So it was along the way …" Gu Nianzhi chuckled. "I thought he really came to see me. Well, that's okay. You should take grandfather Huo back. It's getting cold. Be careful not to catch a cold. "
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng's words implied that they were treating Guo Huining as a real nanny.
Guo Huining was furious.
She was a B University law student and used to be a senior executive at the Hong Corporation. How could they treat her as a real nanny?!
Also, she wasn't a nanny. She was a housekeeper who helped Huo Guanchen take care of his private estate!
Her face darkened, and her tone became agitated. "Miss Gu, you are now the chief legal counsel of the Senate. Do you really have to use your power to oppress others?!" With that, she helped Grandfather Huo into the car from the back door.
The car door slammed shut and they quickly drove away.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the black Phaeton in shock. "There's a driver in the car?"
The tinted windows of the car were too dark and it was at night. Neither of them had noticed there was a driver in the car.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at them and pulled Gu Nianzhi into his car. "Don't worry about it. So what if there's a driver? You have so many security guards around you. Would they dare to harm you? "
Gu Nianzhi glanced at him with a smile. "No matter how many security guards there are, they're not as good as you, Huo Shao!"
When they returned to Song Jinning's apartment, Gu Nianzhi mentioned that Guo Huining had taken Grandfather Huo to the Senate building. Lu Jin immediately said, "She came to look for trouble again?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Lu Yuan calmly scooped a bowl of soup for Gu Nianzhi and said, "We are investigating the Pacific Rim private equity fund. The person behind Guo Huining is also this Pacific Rim private equity fund. "
Gu Nianzhi beamed. "President Lu, you're so amazing!"
Relieved, she followed Huo Shaoheng back to his official residence to wash up and go to bed.
When she woke up the next morning, she realized that she had underestimated her enemy.
Overnight, a three-minute video appeared on the internet and was being forwarded like crazy.
Apparently, she was the Senate's Chief Legal Advisor, Gu Nianzhi, who had recently become very popular!
She used her power to oppress others. Because of a meal, a top student from B University was forced to lose her job and become a nanny for her fiancé's family!
