"Yeah, I told you it was Professor He …" Gu Nianzhi laughed. Her footsteps were practically skipping as she walked along the campus road.
It was almost 9: 30, and there weren't many people on the road.
It was everyone's first day of school, so there weren't any classes yet. The weather was cold, so almost no one came out of their dorms.
Gu Nianzhi walked quickly on her own. As she spoke to Huo Shaoheng on the phone, she said, "I didn't have a class meeting with my classmates. I had a meeting with Professor He's students."
"You had a meeting with He Zhichu's doctoral students?" Huo Shaoheng threw another dart out. This dart stuck in almost the same spot as the previous one, making the center of the dart board bigger.
"Yeah, I'm Professor He's only master's student." Gu Nianzhi explained to him, "Even my classes, grants, and internships are handled by him. The faculty only keeps my student status and records. Professor He is the one who makes all my transcripts."
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything else. He just listened to Gu Nianzhi.
She talked like this all the way back to her dorm. "Huo Shao, I have to hang up. I'm about to enter the elevator. The signal is bad inside."
"Ok, that's it for today." Huo Shaoheng only wanted to make sure Gu Nianzhi had returned to her dorm. He didn't have much desire to chat. "Go back and rest. Classes start tomorrow. Are you ready? "
Gu Nianzhi still hadn't looked at her schedule, but she said to Huo Shaoheng, "It's about time. I'll go back and look at the schedule."
"Ok, goodnight." Huo Shaoheng said goodnight to her and hung up.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her phone speechlessly. Once again, Huo Shaoheng hung up before she did.
…
Huo Shaoheng didn't go home when he called Gu Nianzhi. Instead, he stayed in his office.
Zhao Liangze was running the program he wrote day and night to gradually narrow down the scope of inspection. He didn't sleep or rest for several days and finally couldn't take it anymore. He covered himself with a blanket and fell asleep on the large sofa in the corner.
Huo Shaoheng helped him look at the computer program.
No one knew that Huo Shaoheng was also a computer expert.
He had convinced Zhao Liangze to work for the Special Operations Forces back then, which was enough to show that Huo Shaoheng had something that convinced him. He wasn't someone who didn't know anything about computers.
He sat at the computer desk and stared at the results on the screen, as well as the big red crosses next to them. He was lost in thought.
After a while, the office door was pushed open, and Bai Yueran walked in.
"Eh? Huo Shao, are you really still here? " She looked at Huo Shaoheng in surprise and then smiled. "You're probably the only general who has been promoted to this rank and still works overtime to get paid."
Huo Shaoheng silently clicked the mouse, and the program that had just been running on the computer was immediately hidden with one click.
Yin Shixiong stood up from behind his desk and said to Bai Yueran, "Director Bai, what brings you here today?" As he spoke, he walked out. "What would you like to drink, Director Bai? Coffee or tea? "
Bai Yueran waved her hand and smiled. "I have a few things to say to Huo Shao. I'll be leaving once I'm done. I'm not working overtime! "
Yin Shixiong clicked his tongue and shook his head. "What happened to sharing fortune and misfortune? Director Bai isn't a good friend at all! "
"You're joking!" Bai Yueran laughed and walked over to Huo Shaoheng's computer desk to take a look. "This is Little Ze's desk? Where is he? "
Huo Shaoheng spun around on his computer chair and turned to look at the sofa in the corner. "He's sleeping over there. It's been a few nights, and he can't take it anymore. "
"It's not good for you guys to work overtime every day. You're practically eating and living in the office. You guys don't have families now, and no one will say anything even if you work overtime every day. But when you get married, you'll know what it means to have no choice. "Bai Yueran smiled as she sat down on the stool in front of the desk.
Huo Shaoheng clasped his hands together in front of him and leaned back on the computer chair. "Director Bai, is there something you need?"
"Yes, there are two things." Bai Yueran placed a document on the desk in front of Huo Shaoheng. "The first thing is that Zhang Feng filed an appeal in prison. I've compiled a document to send to the military court. Take a look and see if it's there.
Huo Shaoheng stared fixedly at her and grunted noncommittally.
"The second thing is the issue of the Institute of High Energy Physics restarting the experiment." Bai Yueran took out a report. "This time, all these departments have requested to participate. What do you think we should do?"
"No." Huo Shaoheng immediately rejected Bai Yueran's second request. "The experiment at the Institute of High Energy Physics is strictly confidential. No more people can participate. We can't satisfy these departments' requests."
"Huo Shao, in politics, they won't back down just because we can't satisfy their requests." Bai Yueran sighed. "Our country is a society that values relationships. You can't be so heartless."
Huo Shaoheng walked out from behind the desk and rubbed his forehead. "Let me think about it."
He picked up the darts and threw them again.
Bai Yueran sat for a while and saw Zhao Liangze sleeping soundly on the sofa in the corner, but the military blanket on him had fallen off. She quickly walked over and picked it up from the ground to cover him gently.
Zhao Liangze was still groggy from sleep and opened his eyes to see Bai Yueran's beautiful face. He was instantly wide awake. "Director … Bai?! Why are you here? "
He struggled to sit up. His head was a little dizzy.
Bai Yueran comforted him. "Sleep a little longer. I'll leave after talking to Huo Shao."
"Oh." Zhao Liangze's voice carried a subtle hint of disappointment. He lifted the blanket. "I should get up too. I slept all night."
"It's only been two hours. What do you mean by all night?" Yin Shixiong gave Zhao Liangze a look. "Go back and sleep tonight. Huo Shao and I will stay here and watch."
Zhao Liangze picked up his jacket from the other side of the sofa and put it on. He looked at Bai Yueran inquiringly.
Bai Yueran thought about it and said, "Then let's go together."
"Okay." Zhao Liangze's heart suddenly relaxed. He put on his jacket again before leaving the office with Bai Yueran.
The night sky outside was beautiful. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
The two chatted as they walked.
Zhao Liangze asked tentatively, "It's Valentine's Day in a few days. How does Director Bai plan to celebrate it?"
Bai Yueran laughed. "I don't have a lover. Why would I celebrate Valentine's Day?"
"No way? Director Bai doesn't have a boyfriend? "Zhao Liangze couldn't hide the excitement in his voice." That's hard to believe. "
"It's the truth. Actually, other people don't like me. "Bai Yueran said seriously, but her eyes darted around mischievously.
Zhao Liangze's heart was thumping wildly, but he remained calm on the outside. He smiled and said, "Director Bai is too humble. Being overly humble is equivalent to being arrogant. Director Bai's standards must be too high, and you don't like those ordinary people?"
"Little Ze, you're so funny. I really don't have high standards. Actually, I'm too busy. I had a boyfriend before, but I only saw him a few times a year. Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore and broke up. "Bai Yueran sighed." I don't care anymore. "
Zhao Liangze glanced at her. "Director Bai is such a good person. I'm sure you'll find a good partner."
"Thank you for your kind words." Bai Yueran nodded with a smile. "I have to go back. Goodnight. "
Zhao Liangze watched her disappear into the distance. He planned to try asking Bai Yueran out for dinner on Valentine's Day.
After a few days, Zhao Liangze's program was almost finished. He had narrowed down the targets from a few hundred to a few dozen and could officially report it to the Supreme Military Council.
Huo Shaoheng immediately brought the list to the Supreme Military Council and requested authorization from them and the Senate to allow the Special Operations Forces to operate within the country.
General Ji looked at the list and smiled with satisfaction. "Shaoheng, you really didn't disappoint me. It's been six years, and this matter can finally be resolved. "
"We never gave up." Huo Shaoheng also breathed a sigh of relief. This matter had come to an end. All that was left was to wait for authorization to bring these people to the Imperial Capital.
He was about to ask for a vacation when he heard General Ji say, "Oh right, the girl from the Xu family happened to be at my house for dinner today and bumped into you. After dinner, you can take her home."
