Gu Nianzhi could only smile at Yin Shixiong's question and spread her hands, "Then Brother Xiong will be disappointed, I don't have anything for you to carry. I want to buy it, but they won't sell it. "She looked back at the Hermes flagship store and shook her head regretfully.
"What do you want to buy?" Huo Shaoheng noticed that Gu Nianzhi was still carrying a Chanel bag and not a Hermes bag, "Are they out of stock? How about we go to the main Hermes store in Europe? "
Gu Nianzhi shrugged and was a bit unhappy, "They won't sell it to you even if they have it. It's the same at the main store."
"What's wrong?" Yin Shixiong knew Gu Nianzhi wasn't someone who liked to throw tantrums, so there had to be a reason for her behavior.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at the Hermes flagship store behind her, "Here, I just like their new pearlescent blue bucket bag this year. There's only one left and it's in the display case. They said someone reserved it. Forget it. I asked her if I could make a reservation, or even a deposit. She said that she would inform me when the stock was available, but she ignored me. "
She had to admit that the store was bullying its customers to this extent.
Huo Shaoheng understood and pressed a hand on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder, "Pearlescent blue bucket bag? I'll go take a look. "
Huo Shaoheng walked towards the Hermes flagship store.
The eyes of the beautiful shop assistant who had ignored Gu Nianzhi earlier suddenly lit up. She walked up to the door and asked a tall, handsome man wearing sunglasses, "Sir, how may I help you?"
Huo Shaoheng stood in the middle of the store and glanced around the Hermes flagship store without batting an eyelid. He pointed at the pearl blue bucket bag in the display case and asked, "Do you have this color bag in stock?"
"… We don't have it in stock, but we do …" The beautiful employee was about to offer some other Hermes items like belts and scarves for Huo Shaoheng to buy when Huo Shaoheng pulled out an ordinary-looking card and waved it in front of the employee, "Do you have it in stock?"
Hermes Global Celebrity VIP Card!
This wasn't a normal VIP card, the main Hermes store in Europe distributed less than 100 of these cards globally …
He didn't expect someone from the Hua Xia Empire to have such a card!
The beautiful shop assistant felt her blood boil and immediately said respectfully, "We have it in stock. Do you want it?"
"How many?"
"Uh …" The beautiful shop assistant choked and hurriedly went to check the inventory list. She then trotted over and said attentively, "Including the items in the display cabinet, there are a total of four."
"Isn't this reserved?" Huo Shaoheng put his hands in the pockets of his leather coat and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the pearl blue bucket bag in the display case.
The design of this bag was very simple, and the workmanship was fine. It was simple yet interesting, and the style was new. It was not like the famous Hermès Platinum bag, which had cheap knockoffs.
"No, no, there's no reservation." The beautiful shop assistant made it very clear. "Do you want one?"
"I'll take all four," Huo Shaoheng said nonchalantly. "Including this showpiece."
"Ah? Do you want all of them to be the same color? "The beautiful shop assistant asked worriedly.
"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng didn't turn around.
The beautiful shop assistant didn't have a choice. "Please wait, sir. I'll go get the bag for you." As she spoke, she immediately took the showpiece out of the display case and brought it to the storage room in the back. She checked all four pearl blue bucket bags and put them in a dustproof bag after confirming that there were no flaws. She then put them in a Hermès paper bag.
"May I know your name, sir?" The beautiful shop assistant walked out from the back with four Hermès paper bags. "These are the Hermès pearl blue bucket bags you wanted. There are four of them in total, and they're the only four in the entire country." She then tried to persuade Huo Shaoheng. "But why did you buy four identical bucket bags? We also have bucket bags in other colors, and they're all very pretty, like coral red, peach pink … "
For women's bags, the brighter the smaller ones were, the more elegant the bigger ones were, the easier it was to match and not stain the eyes. This was common sense.
However, Huo Shaoheng didn't care about this. He directly handed the card to the shop assistant. "I'll sign the bill."
The shop assistant was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Her whole body trembled as she took the card.
If the special VIP card had only surprised her, then the bill signing was even more shocking.
Hermès never took credit, but there was a list of people who could sign the bill. There were less than ten people on it, and all ten of them didn't have names, only code numbers.
In this list, Huo Shaoheng's code number was six.
This meant that the man in front of her was not only very rich, but also the most powerful of the powerful.
The executive manager, store manager, and others swarmed out of the flagship store and greeted Huo Shaoheng respectfully.
The beautiful shop assistant's eyes immediately became fiery. It was as if she had a hook growing out of it. She wanted nothing more than to hook Huo Shaoheng's gaze.
However, Huo Shaoheng didn't look at her. With a serious expression, he signed the bill with a pen and turned to wave at Gu Nianzhi, who was outside the door.
Gu Nianzhi ran in happily and beamed at the four paper bags in Huo Shaoheng's hands.
"Here you go." Huo Shaoheng handed the four Hermès paper bags to her. "I bought four pearl blue bucket bags. Are they enough?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Why did he buy four?
Just one was enough, right?
Gu Nianzhi wisely didn't ask anything. She only looked at Huo Shaoheng suspiciously as she took the four Hermès paper bags.
The beautiful shop assistant next to her immediately recognized Gu Nianzhi as the young girl she had chased away with "no stock." She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything else, nor did he say anything to humiliate her. He simply took the paper bags from Gu Nianzhi and held her hand. He didn't look at anyone and walked out the door as if nothing had happened.
This kind of silent contempt was actually more shameful than a verbal attack.
The beautiful shop assistant's body swayed and she almost fell to the ground.
As soon as they left, the managers of the Hermès flagship store began to educate their employees. "Remember the card in that man's hand. If you see anyone with such a card in the future, you must immediately report it to the higher-ups. Also, if a customer asks if they have stock, you must carefully deal with them before you figure out their identity. You must not ignore them. It would be terrible if a situation like today happened again. "
The managers could only hope that the man who had just left wouldn't hold it against them. Otherwise, they would have no choice but to fire the shop assistant.
The beautiful shop assistant who had been "smiling but not speaking" was now depressed and could only "cry but not speak."
…
Walking out of the Hermès flagship store, Huo Shaoheng tossed the large and small paper bags in his hands to Yin Shixiong.
Yin Shixiong was there to "carry the bags," so he could only accept it with a smile. The paper bags weren't heavy anyway. Yin Shixiong took the opportunity to talk to Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, what did you buy?"
Gu Nianzhi pointed to the Chanel paper bag. "This is a Lunar New Year gift for Auntie Song. Huo Shao just bought those two for me. "
She smiled and asked Huo Shaoheng, "Huo Shao, why did you buy four identical bucket bags?"
"I thought you didn't like to have the same stock?" Huo Shaoheng said nonchalantly. "I bought all the bucket bags in this color. No one will have the same stock as you."
Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"
That was too f * cking heroic, alright?
Gu Nianzhi's eyes burned even more. Although it was broad daylight, she wanted to throw herself at Huo Shaoheng and kiss him.
However, with Yin Shixiong glaring at her, she was too embarrassed to show off her affection in front of someone she knew.
Huo Shaoheng looked at his watch. "Where else are we going?"
"I still have gifts to buy." Gu Nianzhi quickly replied. "Where will Brother Xiong spend the New Year this year? I want to buy gifts for Brother Xiong, Brother Ze, my three college roommates, and Senior Huang from the B University Law Faculty. "
Actually, Gu Nianzhi didn't mention Huo Shaoheng's family and relatives.
Yin Shixiong quickly said, "I'm not going home this year. I'll spend the New Year here with you guys." He thought about it and said, "Little Ze isn't going home for the New Year either. We're going to have a good time this year!"
Yin Shixiong walked on the other side of Gu Nianzhi. Gu Nianzhi held Huo Shaoheng's hand and walked in the middle.
She had already decided what she wanted to buy, so she went straight to the remaining stores. She bought ties, belts, cashmere scarves, gloves, and the new IPAD-Mini and IPAD-Air. She bought a lot of everything.
In the end, even Huo Shaoheng's hands were filled with shopping bags of all sizes. No matter how capable Yin Shixiong was, he only had two hands. He really couldn't carry it all.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the time again. "Do you want to go for lunch?"
It was actually past three in the afternoon, so they could go back and have New Year's dinner.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "I'm not hungry." She then asked Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong, "Are you guys hungry?"
Yin Shixiong also shook his head. "I bought a pizza over there when you went shopping."
Huo Shaoheng said directly, "I'm not hungry."
"Then let's go back and eat something good." Gu Nianzhi remembered the fresh lotus root she bought and announced, "I want to eat lotus root stewed with pork ribs."
"Then let's go back." Huo Shaoheng gestured for them to walk towards the elevator.
Yin Shixiong looked at the things in his hands and said, "Nianzhi, you really know how to spend money. These things are enough to pay for a down payment on a two-bedroom apartment in the Fourth Ring Road. "
Gu Nianzhi was a bit embarrassed. She murmured to Huo Shaoheng, "Huo Shao, I'm borrowing these from you. I'll return them to you when I go back to school. "
Huo Shaoheng glanced at Yin Shixiong and shook Gu Nianzhi's hand. "You earned this yourself. You don't have to return it to me."
"Oh? I earned it? "Gu Nianzhi was very happy." I can earn this much just from a lawsuit! Then won't I be able to buy a house soon? "
"Why do you want to buy a house?" Huo Shaoheng asked calmly. The elevator doors opened, and the three of them went straight down to the underground parking lot.
Gu Nianzhi took advantage of Yin Shixiong's inattention to smile at Huo Shaoheng. "I want to buy a house and marry a handsome guy … Handsome, do you want to come home with me?"
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and smiled. He pinched the tip of her ear. "You're even making fun of me. Nianzhi, you're getting bold?"
"You spoiled me! I'm happy. " Gu Nianzhi hugged Huo Shaoheng's arm and swayed it from side to side. Yin Shixiong turned around and saw it. He felt his eyelids twitch. He couldn't help coughing. He said to Gu Nianzhi, "Nianzhi, we're outside. Be careful of your image."
"What image?" Gu Nianzhi was unhappy. "I didn't do anything disgraceful or shameless. Am I right, Huo Shao?"
Huo Shaoheng grunted but still pulled his arm out of Gu Nianzhi's embrace. He straightened up and ignored her.
Yin Shixiong sighed inwardly and braced himself to stand between Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi. He separated them and tried to talk to Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi wants to buy a house? You're buying it in the Imperial Capital, right? Didn't Huo Shao give you a house in C City? "
Gu Nianzhi thought of the penthouse and the days she lived with Huo Shaoheng. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for her to reminisce for a long time. She nodded. "Yes, he gave it to me. But how can I live alone in C City when you're staying in the Imperial Capital? Right, Huo Shao? "
Huo Shaoheng thought it was all nonsense, so he didn't say anything. Gu Nianzhi and Yin Shixiong were both very talkative. When the two of them met, no one else would speak. Huo Shaoheng was already used to it.
But when he heard Huo Shaoheng's silence, Yin Shixiong was even more convinced that Zhao Liangze's analysis was correct. It seemed like the falling flowers had feelings for each other, but the heartless stream had no feelings for each other …
How could a man like Huo Shaoheng, at his age and with his status, be interested in a young girl like Gu Nianzhi?
Yin Shixiong felt that he hadn't misjudged him. Huo Shao was upright and upright, so he was immediately happy.
Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Shaoheng just didn't want to talk out of habit. If he didn't agree, he would definitely object, so she was even happier.
Yin Shixiong and Gu Nianzhi became even more excited and started chatting non-stop.
But because the two of them had completely opposite thoughts, they always talked in completely different directions. Gu Nianzhi frowned a few times.
What was wrong with Brother Xiong today? He was always hitting her …
Huo Shaoheng listened to them and didn't think it was a big deal.
He was thinking about the work he would be doing after the New Year, such as the military restarting the experiment investigation. Although he was one of the leaders of the investigation team, many things couldn't be decided by him alone. He also had to investigate the whereabouts of Gu Nianzhi's father, Gu Xiangwen …
His gaze fell on Gu Nianzhi's radiant face from time to time, and his lips curled into a smile that he didn't even notice.
Soon, the elevator dinged and reached the ground floor.
The three of them came out of the elevator and found Huo Shaoheng's car. Yin Shixiong put the paper bags in the trunk and said, "Nianzhi, do you want to take Brother Xiong's car?"
"No!" Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head. "I'll take Huo Shao's car."
Huo Shaoheng glared at Yin Shixiong. "Take your car and stop being so wishy-washy."
Yin Shixiong really wanted to cry a hero's tears.
Who did he offend?
How dare he call him wishy-washy!
Gu Nianzhi smiled as she got into Huo Shaoheng's car. She was a bit embarrassed at first, so she didn't say anything.
Huo Shaoheng didn't have the habit of starting a conversation, so the car was silent until they reached the highway. Gu Nianzhi finally complained to Huo Shaoheng. "Huo Shao, don't you think Brother Xiong is acting weird today?"
Huo Shaoheng drove calmly. "Maybe it's his period, so he's being awkward."
Pfft –!
Gu Nianzhi laughed so hard she almost hiccupped. Her mood miraculously improved. She turned to look at Huo Shaoheng's handsome profile. "I didn't think Huo Shao's dry humor could be so deadly!"
"Deadly how?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at her indifferently. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised. Although they weren't peach blossom eyes like He Zhichu's, they were clear and deep. They could completely electrocute someone when they occasionally gave off an electric current.
"I'm dying of laughter!" Gu Nianzhi covered her mouth and laughed. "Isn't it deadly?"
Huo Shaoheng's lips curled up imperceptibly. He skillfully changed lanes on the highway and changed the topic. "We'll probably be preparing for New Year's Eve dinner when we get back. Go shower first. I need to go to the office."
Gu Nianzhi agreed. She gradually recovered her liveliness and chatter. She chatted happily in the car.
Huo Shaoheng only needed to occasionally reply with a few "Mhmm, okay, and oh."
Although she was very attached to Huo Shaoheng, she really didn't need him to take care of her too much. She would be satisfied as long as she stayed by his side.
She didn't need him to coax her. She would coax herself.
Maybe all she wanted was companionship.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't help reaching out to stroke Gu Nianzhi's hair. "Still not tired?"
"Not tired, not tired at all!" Gu Nianzhi showed Huo Shaoheng the "muscles" on her arms. Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything. He only flexed his arms. His incomparably strong and well-defined muscles were exposed under his leather jacket. They almost burst the sleeves of his leather jacket.
Gu Nianzhi looked at his "muscles" and then at her own slender arms and legs. She decisively withdrew her hands and puffed out her chest.
You want to compare size?
Who's afraid of who?
From the corner of his eye, Huo Shaoheng saw Gu Nianzhi's defiant expression and puffed out chest. He couldn't help but smile. This time, it was a real smile.
The smile on his lips bloomed and spread to his handsome, indifferent face. It was a flower of hope that bloomed in despair.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened. If they weren't in the car, she really would have pounced on him and "eaten" Huo Shaoheng.
With a beautiful man in front of her, it was already very good to be able to resist not making a move. It was a piece of cake to be moved. Let it move …
Gu Nianzhi's eyes were glued to Huo Shaoheng's face the entire way. Huo Shaoheng occasionally turned to look at her, and his mood became better and better.
…
When the two cars arrived at the headquarters of the Special Operations Forces one after another, it was already five in the afternoon.
It was five in the afternoon on New Year's Eve in the Imperial Capital. The sky was already completely dark.
The weather was very cold, but the night sky was clear. There was no possibility of snow.
The cold, dry wind blew wildly, and the fallen leaves on the ground had long been swept away.
However, there was a thick liveliness in the air.
This was the wonderful mood of hundreds of millions of people celebrating a festival together.
Gu Nianzhi saw the brightly lit official residence gradually appear in front of her eyes. She sighed softly. She had only lived here for a few days, but she actually felt like she had lived here for a lifetime.
She clenched her fists. She must work hard to become someone who could live here with Huo Shaoheng for the rest of her life.
