Yin Shixiong started the car, confused. After driving out of the parking lot, he asked Zhao Liangze, "What do you mean? Does it matter who makes the first move? "
"Of course it matters!" Zhao Liangze's mood worsened, but he had to think of Huo Shaoheng, "It must be Nianzhi who makes the first move! You idiot! "
If Huo Shaoheng made the first move, then he wouldn't be able to stay in the military anymore. He would never have any hope of being promoted in this lifetime.
Yin Shixiong suddenly understood, and his expression darkened. After a long silence, he asked sternly, "Where are they now?"
Zhao Liangze tossed the cigarette butt away and returned to the central control room to reestablish the connection with Huo Shaoheng's sunglasses. Huo Shaoheng also felt the faint sound of electricity in his headphones return, but he didn't say anything and continued to drive.
Gu Nianzhi leaned on his shoulder and refused to let go for even a second. He let her be. Even if he didn't use his hand, he could still drive … Gu Nianzhi leaned on his shoulder and refused to let go.
Zhao Liangze checked the location and informed Yin Shixiong, "Huo Shaoheng's car is heading towards Scion Square."
"Roger." Yin Shixiong turned on the GPS and found Huo Shaoheng's car. He chased after it as he spoke to Zhao Liangze, "Little Ze, I think this is dangerous. Let's think of a way to get rid of Nianzhi's stupid idea."
Zhao Liangze said sullenly, "You also think Huo Shaoheng and Nianzhi aren't a good match?"
"They're quite a good match. He's handsome and she's pretty, but they're not a good match in age. They're from two different generations." Yin Shixiong couldn't accept the two of them being together, be it rationally or emotionally. "But I understand and understand that Nianzhi has feelings for Huo Shaoheng. I don't blame her. Huo Shaoheng is such a good man. Who knows how many women covet him, but he only treats Nianzhi well. How can a little girl like Nianzhi resist an old driver like Huo Shaoheng? "
"Yeah, that's what I think too." Zhao Liangze finally agreed with Yin Shixiong, "Do you remember when we went on a mission in Japan last year? Huo Shaoheng said he was already married?"
"Last year in Japan? Oh! I remember too! " Yin Shixiong slapped the steering wheel in realization, "So Huo Shaoheng really doesn't have a choice. He already has a girlfriend, so he won't hook up with Nianzhi? Right? "
Zhao Liangze sighed and said word by word, "Remember, Huo Shao did not seduce Nianzhi. It's because Nianzhi is pestering him so much that he doesn't know how to reject her. That's why he deliberately made it public in front of us so that we could help him think of a solution. "
"Ah? Yin Shixiong scratched the back of his head. "Can't he just tell us directly?"
"You're an idiot today!" Zhao Liangze couldn't take it anymore. He slammed the computer table and yelled at him, "How could you say something like that directly?! How was Nianzhi supposed to conduct herself? I'm warning you, you're so stupid. Don't get involved in this. I'll think of something. "
"Bah! You're the idiot who exceeded the limit! " Yin Shixiong retorted, "You haven't even sorted out your own mess yet, and you want to interfere with Huo Shao and Nianzhi's business?! I advise you to take it easy, or else you'll end up swinging! "
Both of them were in a bad mood. They tried to ease their tension by arguing and attacking each other. They only stopped fighting when Yin Shixiong got out of the car in the underground parking lot of Scion Square.
After a round of venting, both of them finally calmed down.
"Big Xiong, you have to keep this a secret. We can't let the military know. If they accidentally find out, you have to insist that it was Nianzhi who initiated it, and Huo Shao is trying to reject her. Do you hear me? Nianzhi isn't a soldier, so it's fine if she takes the initiative. If Huo Shao takes the initiative, he'll be dead meat! "
Zhao Liangze frowned and began to search the central control system. He was afraid that there were still videos that hadn't been deleted. "Also, hurry up and follow Huo Shao and Nianzhi. Tell them you're helping them carry their things, just in case Nianzhi does something even worse."
Yin Shixiong nodded. "I understand. I'll go right now."
He looked at his phone and found Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi's location. They were already on the eighth floor of Scion Square. Most of the world famous stores were gathered here.
…
Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi walked out of the Chanel flagship store on the eighth floor of Scion Square. Gu Nianzhi picked out two more outfits for Song Jinning. One was a black and white dress, and the other was a light coffee-colored pantsuit. They could be worn at important occasions. She also bought two matching handbags.
"Why didn't you buy one for yourself?" Huo Shaoheng looked at the bags Gu Nianzhi was carrying. They were all gifts for other people.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "Auntie is wearing Chanel, so I won't wear it. I don't want to wear the same thing."
"It's not the same style." Huo Shaoheng stopped holding her hand. "How can it be the same? Also, you've always bought Chanel's youth line. It's not even the same line as my mother's. "
"It's the same brand, so it's the same thing." Gu Nianzhi giggled. She actually didn't want people to say she and Song Jinning were wearing mother-daughter outfits.
She wanted to be Song Jinning's daughter-in-law. She didn't want to be her daughter.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and picked up his phone. "There's a Hermes flagship store up ahead. You can go there and pick something you like."
He knew Gu Nianzhi liked Hermes scarves. She didn't seem to like anything else.
Gu Nianzhi happened to be interested in a new bucket bag from Hermes. She wanted to see the real thing, so she quickly nodded. "Let's go have a look at Hermes."
The two of them walked to the Hermes flagship store and unexpectedly ran into Huo Shaoheng's childhood friend, Xue Jingjiang.
Xue Jingjiang had his own store on the ninth floor. He often shopped there, so it was natural to run into him. However, he had a worried expression on his face today. He was as excited to see Huo Shaoheng as if he were the God of Fortune. He quickly dragged Huo Shaoheng to the ninth floor to talk.
Gu Nianzhi saw this and said considerately, "Then I'll go to Hermes by myself and look for you guys on the ninth floor?"
"Nianzhi, right? I remember you. Go to the Hermes flagship store and buy whatever you want. Tell them to put it under my name, Xue Jingjiang. Treat it as a Lunar New Year gift from me to Little Sister Nianzhi. "Xue Jingjiang was very generous to Gu Nianzhi and was already calling her brother.
"That's not necessary." Huo Shaoheng smiled. "How can my people use your money?"
"Ok." Xue Jingjiang was only being polite to Gu Nianzhi. Since Huo Shaoheng had said so, he knew he didn't need money, so he didn't argue with him. It was almost the Lunar New Year anyway. He could just give Gu Nianzhi a big red packet and everything would be settled. He pulled Huo Shaoheng along. "Let's go upstairs and talk?"
Huo Shaoheng remembered that he had promised Gu Nianzhi that he would spend the whole day with her. How could he leave her alone?
He smiled and rejected Xue Jingjiang. "What's the matter? I'm on vacation right now. Where should I go for the Lunar New Year? "
Xue Jingjiang said, "Huo Shao, my dear Huo Shao, I beg you. I won't be able to enjoy the Lunar New Year if I don't talk to you today."
Huo Shaoheng chuckled and insisted. "I'm afraid I can't help you if it's urgent. If it's not, let's talk about it after the Lunar New Year. What do you think? "
Xue Jingjiang's matter was both urgent and not urgent. As long as he could find someone like Huo Shaoheng to help him, everything would be fine.
Xue Jingjiang let out a long sigh and nodded. "Alright, I understand. I'll visit you at your house after the Lunar New Year. Let's talk about it then? "
Although Huo Shaoheng didn't return to the Huo's on Lunar New Year's Eve, he had to take a day off from the first to the fifteenth. It would be best to meet him there. "Ok, let me know in advance when you're going to visit. I'll wait for you at home."
"That's a good brother!" Xue Jingjiang was overjoyed. He slapped Huo Shaoheng on the shoulder. "Ok! Then I won't hold you up. Go do what you need to do! Go do what you need to do! "
Xue Jingjiang was all smiles as he strode back to the ninth floor.
He had been worried for almost a month. He had finally found someone who was capable and willing to help him solve his problems.
When he returned to the ninth floor, he called his two partners. "Ok, don't worry. I've contacted Huo Shao. If Huo Shao agrees, Gu Yanran won't refuse. "
…
After Huo Shaoheng sent Xue Jingjiang off, he looked up to see that Gu Nianzhi had already reached the Hermes flagship store. She was about to enter.
He followed her unhurriedly and heard Yin Shixiong's voice from behind. "Huo Shao! I've finally found you! Oh, where's Nianzhi? "
Yin Shixiong looked left and right behind him but didn't see Gu Nianzhi because she had already walked into the Hermes flagship store.
Huo Shaoheng folded his hands behind his back and turned to look at Yin Shixiong expressionlessly. "Why are you here? And how did I discover you? "
According to the Special Operations Forces' regulations, even if Huo Shaoheng went out incognito, he would have all sorts of guards around him, both in the open and in the dark.
Yin Shixiong was Huo Shaoheng's personal secretary. Personal secretaries usually couldn't interfere with his private time. Even if they had to take care of him, they had to follow him from afar and not let him discover them.
But Yin Shixiong had not only let him discover him, but had also walked over to greet him. He was asking for it.
Huo Shaoheng looked at him calmly. Although he didn't show any expression or movement, his gaze alone was enough to make Yin Shixiong want to die.
But he had no choice. He had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Not only did it have to do with Huo Shao's future, but it also had to do with Gu Nianzhi's lifelong happiness. No matter how weak his legs were, he couldn't back down from Huo Shaoheng.
"Huo Shao, where's Nianzhi?" Yin Shixiong feigned a cheerful smile. "I saw her just now. How did she disappear in the blink of an eye?"
"Just now? When was that? "Huo Shaoheng raised his chin and scrutinized Yin Shixiong." What are you trying to say? "
Yin Shixiong was deathly afraid of Huo Shaoheng. Huo Shaoheng was his superior. No matter how he looked at it, Yin Shixiong couldn't disobey Huo Shaoheng.
He had to be loyal to him. This was his mission and duty as a soldier.
But Gu Nianzhi had just turned 18, and he had also watched her grow up.
Loyalty and love fought fiercely in Yin Shixiong's mind. In the end, loyalty won. He said to Huo Shaoheng calmly, "Huo Shao, I saw what happened between you and Nianzhi at the Nancheng Shopping Mall."
"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng didn't care. He turned and walked towards the Hermes flagship store. "That's it?"
"Huo Shao, don't make things difficult for yourself. It's time for us to help you settle it. " Yin Shixiong braced himself to show his loyalty. "Nianzhi is young, and you're so outstanding. It's not strange for her to have such muddled thoughts. Don't spoil her too much. The more you spoil her, the worse it will be.
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
Why was Yin Shixiong's reaction different from what he had expected?
"I know that you let us see you outside today because you wanted us to help you. It's Nianzhi's fault for having such thoughts, but you have to understand her and forgive her. Don't make it too hard for her … "Yin Shixiong tried his best to persuade him. Even he was touched.
Huo Shaoheng was speechless again.
"Don't go out with Nianzhi if something happens in the future. Don't give the little girl too much hope. It'll be easier to separate them in the future." Yin Shixiong nagged. He suddenly realized that he had the potential to be a nanny.
Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes. "What are you talking about? Who's easier to separate? Nianzhi and I …? "
"Yes!" Yin Shixiong slapped his thigh. "You're so many years older than Nianzhi, and we still don't have a clue about her background. How can you be with her? Right? "
So many years older … so many years older … so many years older …
That was a terrible thing to say.
Huo Shaoheng silently endured it. He didn't want to lower himself to Yin Shixiong's level. He only glared at him. "What does it have to do with you?"
"How does it have nothing to do with me?!" Yin Shixiong was about to shout. "You're my … superior! I also watched Nianzhi grow up. Of course I want you to be well! "
Stop it, Chief!
Nianzhi doesn't know any better. Are you the same?
You won't have a future if you're with her!
"You're saying … she won't pass the background check?" Huo Shaoheng tried to translate Yin Shixiong's words into something he could understand.
Yin Shixiong froze. How did it get to the background check?
Huo Shaoheng looked at him. He didn't want to say it, but he knew that Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze truly treated Nianzhi like family. They were the two most important people in Nianzhi's life, so he casually mentioned, "We already know the name of Nianzhi's father. We're currently investigating him."
"What?!" Yin Shixiong screamed. The passersby were shocked. He quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice to ask Huo Shaoheng, "You really found out the name of Nianzhi's father?!"
If they even knew his name, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to find him?!
But even if they found Nianzhi's family and found out about her past, Huo Shaoheng had watched her grow up!
Huo Shaoheng was her guardian. Even though the two of them got together after Gu Nianzhi became an adult, no matter how he looked at it, it would be used by his political enemies to attack him. It would be very detrimental to Huo Shaoheng's future.
Also, Yin Shixiong felt that the age difference between the two of them was too large. If a three-year age gap was considered a generation gap, then Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi had a three-and-a-third generation gap to cross.
"Yeah, I found it a few days ago. Because I was delayed by other things, I couldn't find the time to investigate. I'll start looking after it after the New Year." Huo Shaoheng said as he walked to the entrance of the Hermes flagship store.
Not only were Hermes' products famous for being expensive, but they were also famous for their hunger marketing. Money alone wasn't enough to buy things from there.
Hermes' employees were also famous for being snobbish and especially good at playing tricks.
If you weren't on their VIP list and wanted to buy a classic bag from their store, it was really a classic case of spending money to get punished.
They would first say that they were out of stock, then you would have to buy a bunch of random things in the store and get close to the employees. After half a year, they would finally give you a bag as if it was charity, and it wasn't free. It would range from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it had to be paid in full. They didn't accept installments.
Even then, it was like they were doing you a great favor.
But despite such harsh conditions, there were still countless women chasing after Hermes bags on the Blue Planet. Even though most people wouldn't own a Hermes bag in their lifetime, because even if they could afford it, they might not sell it to them.
Gu Nianzhi was currently faced with such a dilemma.
Huo Shaoheng had bought all her Hermes items for her, so she didn't think much when she came here. She thought it would be like Chanel, where she could buy it as long as she had the money.
In the end, when she saw the classic pearl blue bucket bag, the smiling beautiful employee lied to her without blinking, "I'm sorry, miss, but this bag is out of stock."
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the pearl blue bucket bag in the display case and asked incredulously, "Isn't there one over there?"
"That one?" The beautiful employee didn't even blink. "That one was reserved. It's the last one in our store."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Fine, if that was the case, she wouldn't force it.
Gu Nianzhi reluctantly looked at the bucket bag again and whispered, "Will you still have a bucket bag like this one?"
The beautiful employee smiled but didn't say anything. She stood behind the counter with dignity, her eyes already looking in the direction of the door.
Gu Nianzhi really liked the bucket bag, so even though the employee was ignoring her, she still braced herself and said, "Then if you restock in the future, can you let me know in advance? I can reserve it and even put down a deposit. "
The beautiful shop assistant glanced at her, smiled, and still had a noncommittal look on her face.
Gu Nianzhi really didn't expect that selling something would make this woman feel superior.
Hmph! Isn't it just a bag?
It's like food during the end of the world, you won't die even if you don't have it. It's not like it's a necessity?
Gu Nianzhi silently complained in her heart and turned to leave.
"Nianzhi!" Yin Shixiong saw her come out and quickly came over to greet her. "Hey, what's going on? Who made you unhappy? "
"Brother Xiong? Why are you here? "Gu Nianzhi looked up to see Yin Shixiong and couldn't help looking at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his leather pockets and said dryly, "There's no shopping cart here, so Big Xiong came to help us carry things."
Carry things … Carry things … Carry things …
Yin Shixiong instantly wanted to cry. He was also a dignified Lieutenant Colonel, but he was "reduced" to a servant carrying things for others …
But he couldn't argue. He couldn't tell Gu Nianzhi, "Nianzhi, I'm here to watch over you and not let you continue pestering Huo Shao …"
