Gu Nianzhi was calling He Zhichu's private number. Very few people knew this number. From the United States to the Hua Xia Empire, the number of people who knew this number could be counted on one hand.
He Zhichu had just finished breakfast and was working on some work emails in front of his computer.
Hearing that it was the ringtone of his personal cell phone, he took it and looked at it, then immediately swiped open the phone to answer it.
"Professor He, good morning." Gu Nianzhi's sweet and soft voice came from the phone. He Zhichu let go of the mouse and leaned back in his chair. His voice was distant. "Hi, Nianzhi."
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He Zhichu could still answer her call, so he probably wouldn't be too angry.
"Professor He, I told you I needed your signature last time. When are you free?" Gu Nianzhi asked with a smile.
He Zhichu played with a pen in his hand and slammed it on the table. He asked her coldly, "You're not going to be a negotiator for the Special Forces anymore?"
"That was just a temporary measure. Professor He, you don't think Huo Shao would give me a job for personal reasons, do you?" Gu Nianzhi retorted with a smile.
"Then are you or are you not?" He Zhichu ignored her provocation and asked her stubbornly.
Gu Nianzhi could only purse her lips and whisper, "… No."
"Ok, then are you free now? I'll be right there. "He Zhichu hung up.
Gu Nianzhi stared at the phone. He didn't even say where he was. How am I going to find you?
She thought about it and sent He Zhichu another text. Professor He, where are you?
He Zhichu replied to his address at the B University Law Faculty Building and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
He wore a bathrobe with a loose belt and a towel around his neck. He used the towel to dry his hair as he walked.
Just as he reached the bedroom, he saw Wen Shouyi come in with a stack of washed and ironed clothes to put in his closet.
He Zhichu frowned and said with displeasure, "Why didn't you knock?"
Wen Shouyi quickly turned around and saw He Zhichu just out of the shower. She said in surprise, "Professor He, you're still in the room? Shouldn't you be at the station at this time? "
He Zhichu finally remembered that he was supposed to go to the Hua Xia Empire's Sovereign Law Firm for a meeting and meet with his employees.
"… I don't want to go. You can go in my place." He Zhichu took a set of clean clothes and walked to the bathroom to change.
Biting her lip, Wen Shouyi walked to the bathroom door and asked worriedly, "Professor He, what's wrong? Is he sick? Do you have another headache? "
After changing, He Zhichu opened the bathroom door and walked out. He said dryly, "Do I need to explain to you whether I go or not?"
"I'm just worried about Professor He's health. Old Mr. He is very worried about Professor He …" Wen Shouyi quickly explained, "I'm relieved if you're fine. I'm going to the law firm for a meeting now. "
Wen Shouyi left He Zhichu's room and saw that there wasn't much time left. She quickly called the front desk of the Sovereign Descent Law Firm and told her that Mr. He wouldn't be able to come today. She would be meeting everyone on his behalf.
Of course, the employees were very disappointed. They had long wanted to meet this famous boss behind the scenes, but they still hadn't been able to.
After Wen Shouyi left, He Zhichu walked to the sofa and sat down. He picked up a newspaper and began reading, but he wasn't calm. He kept glancing at his watch and at his personal phone.
Gu Nianzhi arranged to meet with He Zhichu and then went to find Yin Shixiong to ask him to find a car for her. She was going to B University in the north of the Imperial Capital. It was in the north and south of the Special Operations Forces, so they were quite far apart.
Yin Shixiong didn't think it was a big deal. Huo Shaoheng was also looking at the documents and had instructed him not to disturb him. Therefore, he took the initiative to send a car for Gu Nianzhi.
The car was very ordinary, but it looked a bit strange for such an ordinary car to have a driver.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the car and thought to herself that if she put a TAXI sign on the car, people would probably be waving for it …
She drove out of the Special Operations Forces and encountered a traffic jam.
She had no choice but to take out her phone to play games. After a full hour, the traffic in front of her finally began to move.
At that moment, He Zhichu's call came in. He asked unhappily, "Gu Nianzhi, you're late again? What reason do you have this time? "
Gu Nianzhi was tongue-tied in the car. She stared at the snake-like traffic in front of her and said unhappily, "Professor He, there's a traffic jam! Also, we didn't agree on a time. How can you say I'm late? "
He Zhichu said coldly, "You're still trying to find excuses? It's only a 45-minute drive from where you live to the campus, but you're not even here after two 45-minutes. "
Gu Nianzhi had dawdled earlier and asked Yin Shixiong to transfer the car. That was why she had wasted so much time. Now that there was a traffic jam, there was nothing she could do.
"Professor He, I don't have a helicopter. I can't just arrive whenever I want." Gu Nianzhi could only smile apologetically. "You're a magnanimous person. Don't argue with me." She then immediately said, "Don't worry, in another …"
She turned to ask the driver beside her, "How much longer until we arrive?"
The driver looked at the traffic and the length of the road and estimated a number. "… About another half an hour."
Gu Nianzhi quickly told He Zhichu, "I'll be there in another half an hour."
He Zhichu's frown deepened, but he didn't say anything else. He hung up and put his hands in his trouser pockets. He walked to the window and looked down from the 28th floor.
The roads around B University didn't seem to be stuck in traffic from a distance.
He looked down and swiped the map on his phone. He discovered that there was indeed a traffic jam on the ring highway from the Special Operations Forces to B University. The long red line was annoying to look at.
…
Half an hour later, Gu Nianzhi's car finally arrived at the south gate of B University.
They didn't have a pass to B University, so they couldn't drive directly into the campus.
Gu Nianzhi didn't mind. She got out of the car and bent over to speak to the driver. She asked him to find a place to park and wait for her to come out so they could go back together.
The driver was responsible for Gu Nianzhi's transportation. He patiently listened to Gu Nianzhi and confirmed her phone number before driving away.
Gu Nianzhi straightened her back and was about to turn around to enter the school gate when she heard a snicker from behind.
She remembered the woman's voice. Although she had only heard it once, and it was more than ten days ago, she remembered it clearly.
She couldn't help it. Her memory was just that good.
Gu Nianzhi gave herself a mental thumbs up and walked forward without looking back.
The voice belonged to Prime Minister Dou's youngest daughter, Dou Aiyan.
"Oh? You have a private car? Who's the driver? "Dou Aiyan had already walked over and was smiling at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi turned around and saw Dou Aiyan wearing a bright red cashmere tunic. She was tall and had long, wavy hair flowing down her back. She was very beautiful and much prettier than her older sister, Dou Qingyan.
Beside her stood two young girls in light blue and pink cashmere coats respectively. Perhaps they were her classmates or her attendants.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at them and ignored them. She continued to walk towards the south gate.
Dou Aiyan didn't expect someone to ignore her. She froze and chased after her. "Hey! I'm talking to you! What's wrong with you? "
Gu Nianzhi stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her. "May I ask who you are? Are you talking to me? Then please be polite. "
"You don't recognize me?!" Dou Aiyan didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to pretend not to know her. "You were a guest at my house a few days ago? How can you not remember me so soon? "
The other two young girls beside Dou Aiyan also laughed. "You're so good at pretending!"
Gu Nianzhi gripped the strap of her backpack. She smiled. "I've been invited to many people's houses. If the host didn't introduce himself, I really wouldn't remember. Alright, you're blocking my way. Please move aside. "
Dou Aiyan watched as she walked to the school gates and exchanged a few words with the campus police before entering.
Dou Aiyan stomped her foot. What's so great about her? She only got to do this because she was licking Huo Shao's boots …
She's just an orphan girl, what's there to be arrogant about?!
Once Huo Shao has a wife, you'll show your true colors!
