Song Jinning was a little drunk, but her mind was still sharp.
She raised an eyebrow. "You want to call Young Master He for New Year's greetings?"
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi nodded lightly and whispered, "… He's actually my half-brother, and his parents have passed away. He's not close to the other relatives of the He family. I'm a little worried about him."
Song Jinning knew a little about this. Lu Yuan had revealed it before, because she had been curious about what kind of woman a person like Lu Jin would fall for and get married and have children.
In the end, Lu Yuan had vaguely said that Lu Jin had never been married, and that Gu Nianzhi's mother was someone else.
She wasn't very clear about the exact situation, but she could guess a little.
Now that she knew that He Zhichu's mother was also Gu Nianzhi's mother, Song Jinning immediately sobered up.
She quickly understood many things and touched Gu Nianzhi's face tenderly. "Okay, come with me to my study. I have a phone there that can connect to the energy device at the Institute of High Energy Physics."
A call to the other world required magnetic energy.
The device that could activate the magnetic energy was closely monitored at the Institute of High Energy Physics.
However, Song Jinning had the highest authority. Besides, it was just a phone call. She nodded. "I can talk for ten minutes. This is within my authority."
Gu Nianzhi nodded happily and followed Song Jinning to her study.
Song Jinning's study was very spacious, and the middle was partitioned by a bookshelf.
On one side was her large desk and a bookshelf with a translucent glass door that covered the entire wall.
On the other side was a small post-modern physics laboratory, which made it convenient for her to do some research at home.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the study and clicked her tongue. "Ms. Song, President Lu really treats you well."
Song Jinning squinted her eyes and smiled. She was so charming in her drunken state that Gu Nianzhi blushed slightly.
"Yes, he's very, very nice to me, and I'm very, very nice to him." Song Jinning smiled as she walked to the physics laboratory on the other side of her study. She took out a black cylindrical object and fiddled with it for a while.
After the magnetic field energy device was connected, Song Jinning called her over and said, "You can just click on Young Master He's phone number here." She patted Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and left the study considerately, giving her space to speak freely.
Before she left, she whispered, "I'll block the surveillance cameras here. Don't worry, make the call."
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "I'm just wishing Young Master He a happy new year."
After Song Jinning left, she closed the door to the study.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the 3D dial in front of her and reached out to slowly tap He Zhichu's number.
…
He Zhichu sat alone in the bedroom of his suite. He didn't have much of an appetite as he went downstairs to eat.
The orderlies had called him a few times to ask when he would be coming down for dinner, but he had only told them to go back for the New Year and not to stay at his house.
The orderlies had their own duty schedule. Of course, they wouldn't all go back just because He Zhichu asked them to.
Those who weren't on duty could go back. Those who were on duty went to their own dormitories and had a reunion dinner with everyone. It was also very lively.
He Zhichu really didn't have much of an appetite. He sat for a while and decided to take a shower before going to bed.
Tomorrow, he still had to go down to the grass-roots level to celebrate the new year with the soldiers, so it was better to sleep early.
He actually had no interest in waiting for the New Year's Eve bell to ring.
Just as she took out some clothes from the closet, she suddenly heard a song coming from the bedroom.
"… You can't hear my voice, so you're afraid of blurting out your name. It's like I'm sure I'm going to meet you. It's like we've exchanged eyes before. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before … "
It was the ringtone of a phone he hadn't used in a long time!
He Zhichu was slightly taken aback. Then, he ran to his bed and took out a phone that was always charging from under his pillow.
A strange number appeared on the phone, but there was no mistaking it. It was this number.
He Zhichu took a deep breath. His shimmering almond-shaped eyes were shockingly bright.
He held the phone and trembled for a while before he calmed down and picked up the call.
The soft voice that was almost engraved in his genes came from the other end of the phone. "Hello? Is this Young Master He? "
He Zhichu's throat was choked. He tried hard for a while before he nodded. His voice was still calm. "Is this Nianzhi?"
Gu Nianzhi cheered. "Young Master He! Happy New Year! Happy New Year to you! "
It wasn't even 12 o 'clock yet, so of course it was New Year's greetings.
He Zhichu smiled slightly. She was still so mischievous. It seemed like she was having a good time over there.
He Zhichu sat on the sofa and posed for a long conversation. "Where are you spending the New Year's? Who's by your side? "
Gu Nianzhi almost counted with her fingers. "My dad, CEO Lu, Major General Huo, and Ms. Song. Oh, right, CEO Lu and Ms. Song got married two months ago. "
He Zhichu was stunned. "Ms. Song isn't Major General Huo's mother? CEO Lu is his uncle, right? What about Major General Huo's father? "
"Ms. Song and Major General Huo's father divorced a long time ago. Why can't she remarry?" Gu Nianzhi said casually. "Young Master He, you're not so feudal, are you?"
He Zhichu came back to his senses and smiled. "I'm just very surprised. Huo Shaoheng's expression must be very interesting."
Gu Nianzhi recalled Huo Shaoheng's usual calmness and smiled. "His heart might be very interesting, but you really can't tell from his face."
As she spoke, she also asked He Zhichu, "Young Master He, where are you spending the New Year's? Who are you having New Year's Eve dinner with? "
He Zhichu looked at the empty bedroom and said lightly, "I'm having New Year's Eve dinner with my relatives and subordinates in the restaurant."
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and rolled her eyes. "… Are there many people?"
"Yes, a lot. It's very noisy and lively."
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, Liar, liar.
Only He Zhichu's voice could be heard on the phone. If there were really a lot of people, how could she not hear any other sounds?
He Zhichu seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. He smiled and said, "I saw you call, so I found an empty room to talk to you. Otherwise, it would be so noisy that I wouldn't even be able to hear you."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
That seemed to make sense.
She was uncertain again. She smiled and said, "I see. I was just wondering if there was some new type of soundproof phone over there, hahahaha …"
He Zhichu's thin lips curled up. He thought to himself that his Nianzhi was indeed smart. Even he hadn't thought of this excuse.
"That's a good idea. I'll get someone to develop it tomorrow," He Zhichu teased.
Gu Nianzhi put on her Bluetooth headset and connected it to the intercom. She walked to the bay window of the laboratory and sat down. She looked at the night view outside the window and said calmly, "When it's developed, send me a copy …"
Then she immediately asked, "Is Cousin Xie there? I want to wish her a happy new year too. "
Thank her for being by He Zhichu's side.
He Zhichu pressed his hand against his temple and calmed himself down before saying nonchalantly, "Nianzhi, you're making things difficult for me. It's New Year's Eve, so of course she's spending the New Year with her family. We're getting engaged this year. After I finish my mourning for my father, we'll prepare for the wedding. "
Gu Nianzhi's expression was very calm, but her voice sounded very happy. "So you're engaged?! That's great, that's great! Congratulations, Young Master He! Congratulations, Cousin Xie! "
She added, "I'm also observing mourning for my mother. Maybe I can get married with Young Master He and Cousin Xie! "
He Zhichu smiled and quickly changed the topic.
The two of them talked for eight or nine minutes. From the corner of her eye, Gu Nianzhi saw the red light on the intercom. She knew that it was almost time, so she quickly said, "Then I wish Young Master He a happy new year and your wishes come true!"
He Zhichu grunted and said very gently, "Nianzhi, you too."
He paused for a moment. Just as Gu Nianzhi was about to hang up, he said very softly, "I … your, sister."
Gu Nianzhi didn't hear what He Zhichu said clearly, but she heard the word "sister" and quickly said, "Brother, take care of yourself. I'll call you again when I have the chance."
After hanging up He Zhichu's call, Gu Nianzhi saw that there was still more than a minute left on the intercom. Without hesitation, she dialed Xie Qingying's number.
