General Ji listened for a long time without making a sound.
Personnel authority was the most sensitive and important authority within the organization. In his position, he not only had to consider how to delegate it, but also whether it could be taken back in the future.
But according to Huo Shaoheng, this authority would forever remain within the Special Operations Forces, especially in the hands of the head of the Special Operations Forces.
This wasn't an easy thing to do.
General Ji said slowly, "I can't make the decision on this matter. You also know that power is about checks and balances. If you have such absolute authority over personnel appointments, it's very easy to create an imbalance."
Huo Shaoheng had already expected General Ji to say this. He smiled and proposed a solution. "Actually, it's very simple to balance things out. My position as the head of the Special Operations Forces was appointed by the Supreme Military Council, and only by the Supreme Military Council. Isn't this the end of it? You have absolute personnel authority over me, and I have absolute personnel authority over the organizations under my jurisdiction. We have clear targets of authority and responsibility. For a secret organization, this is the safest way. "
General Ji was tempted. "Yes, your appointment can indeed be executed by the Supreme Military Council. That's not bad, very good! I'll go back and discuss it with them. They should be able to accept this result. "
Of course they would.
Huo Shaoheng was very clear about the minds of the Supreme Military Council's big shots.
They were all a group of people with a strong desire to control everything and everyone in the palm of their hands.
Of course, their general direction was still for the benefit of the nation, so it wasn't a bad thing to have a strong desire for control.
Huo Shaoheng gave them a chance to have absolute control over him, and he had to write this opportunity into official rules and regulations. These big shots would definitely be at ease, and they wouldn't be afraid that Huo Shaoheng would treat the Special Operations Forces as his own just because he had complete personnel authority.
After discussing business, General Ji finally asked about Gu Nianzhi.
"… I heard she sprained her ankle and injured her spine? Is it serious? " General Ji stood up and walked out of the conference room with Huo Shaoheng. "I want to see her. Is that okay?"
General Ji said he wanted to see Gu Nianzhi, and he used such a humble tone. Of course, Huo Shaoheng couldn't say no.
He nodded and led General Ji downstairs to his official residence. He waved as he said, "Last night was the most dangerous. She had a fever all night, but Chen Lie was there the whole time to set her bones. The fever only subsided this morning, but she still can't get up. She might have to stay in bed for a while."
"It's that serious? It's not good to hurt your spine at such a young age. "General Ji didn't ask any more questions when he heard it was Chen Lie's diagnosis.
Huo Shaoheng wasn't afraid of them checking. After all, the two orthopedic surgeons who had set Gu Nianzhi's bones back together had provided circumstantial evidence. The X-ray and MRI results from that time were all there. None of them were fake.
Of course, only the result was fishy.
Other than Huo Shaoheng and Chen Lie, no one else would be able to see through it. They wouldn't even be able to guess it.
Therefore, Huo Shaoheng calmly brought General Ji to visit Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi received the news in advance and was already lying in bed.
Her back was actually fine, but because of the unusually high fever, her whole body was sore, as if her spine was injured and she couldn't move.
…
"Hello, Chief."
"Hello, Chief."
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze loudly saluted General Ji at the door of Gu Nianzhi's suite. This was also a reminder to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi quickly straightened up. She was a little nervous, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose. Her little face was slightly red, but it looked more like the embers of a high fever.
General Ji entered Gu Nianzhi's suite with Huo Shaoheng's two personal secretaries following behind. They were actually his personal bodyguards. Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong stood at the door and didn't enter.
When they reached Gu Nianzhi's bedroom, Huo Shaoheng looked at General Ji's two personal secretaries and said calmly, "Would you two like to wait at the door? It's a young lady's bedroom. It's not very appropriate for so many grown men to go in together. "
General Ji nodded and said to his two personal secretaries, "You two wait at the door. I'll go in and have a few words with Nianzhi before I come out."
"Yes, Chief!" The two personal secretaries quickly agreed.
Huo Shaoheng turned around and knocked on the door. He said in a low voice, "Nianzhi? General Ji is here to see you. We're coming in. "
Gu Nianzhi didn't make a sound and stared at the door.
After a while, the bedroom door opened with a creak, and Huo Shaoheng's tall figure appeared in front of her.
Gu Nianzhi's face was even redder, and even the rims of her eyes were tinted with a faint blush. Her face was like cherry blossoms blowing against the snow, and she looked even more delicate and delicate than her usual lively self.
Huo Shaoheng felt his heart heat up when he glanced at her. He quickly looked down and didn't dare to look again. He moved to the side and said, "General Ji, this way."
General Ji walked in, and Huo Shaoheng closed the door behind him to block the prying eyes of the two personal secretaries.
Gu Nianzhi was very embarrassed. She had never been like this before.
General Ji was a very kind person. He walked over and bent over to Gu Nianzhi, who was lying motionless on the bed. "Nianzhi, do you still remember me?"
Gu Nianzhi blinked to show that she remembered and whispered, "You're General Ji …"
"Yes, you can just call me Uncle Ji," General Ji said gently. "I heard you sprained your ankle and injured your spine. I'm here on behalf of the Supreme Military Council to see you. I hope you can recover soon."
Gu Nianzhi's face was red, and her eyes were misty. She looked like she was about to cry. "Thank … Thank you, General Ji. I really don't deserve it."
General Ji thought Gu Nianzhi's touched expression was very cute, and his heart skipped a beat. He wanted to get information from her. "What's there to not deserve? You took down our most powerful Major General Huo, and you're saying you don't deserve it? "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Oh my! What was going on?!
She looked at General Ji with a confused expression. She looked at General Ji, then at Huo Shaoheng, and asked in confusion, "Uncle Ji, what are you talking about? Huo Shao is so powerful. I can't beat him, so how can I take him down? "
"Oh? Hahahaha … You're such an interesting girl! " General Ji stood up and laughed. "You really can't beat Shaoheng. If you can beat him, you're not human, you're Superman!"
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "Superman is a man. I'm a woman. I'm not Superman."
"Yes, yes, yes. Our Nianzhi is the best." General Ji praised her with a smile. "Smart, quick-witted, and adaptable. You grew up with Shaoheng, so you understand a lot of things without saying."
As General Ji spoke, he patted Huo Shaoheng's shoulder. He didn't say anything.
Huo Shaoheng stood beside General Ji and didn't say anything. There was a faint smile on his lips as he watched General Ji talk to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi didn't say much before showing a tired expression. She sighed deeply.
General Ji immediately said, "Are you tired? I just wanted to see you. Sigh, you're still young. Nothing must happen to your spine. "As he spoke, he ordered Huo Shaoheng," You must find the best doctor to treat Nianzhi's injury. "
Huo Shaoheng nodded calmly. "With Chen Lie around, I don't have to worry."
"Chen Lie is a national champion, but does he know orthopedics?" General Ji was a bit hesitant when he thought about it.
Huo Shaoheng didn't let General Ji lead him astray. Instead, he reached out to turn off the bedroom lights and said to Gu Nianzhi, "We're leaving. Go to sleep. Press the bell if you need anything. There's someone waiting outside."
As soon as the bedroom lights were turned off, it was dark even in broad daylight.
Gu Nianzhi watched Huo Shaoheng turn and leave in the dark. She was reluctant to part with him and hoped that he would turn around to look at her.
However, Huo Shaoheng didn't turn around and left with General Ji.
The sound of the door slamming came from outside. Gu Nianzhi knew they had gone out.
Not long after, Yin Shixiong poked his head in with a smile. "Nianzhi, what do you want to eat? I'll get someone to prepare it for you. "
Gu Nianzhi was a bit depressed. She shook her head and said, "No need. I want to sleep."
"Okay, you sleep first. You can eat with Huo Shao when he comes back tonight." Yin Shixiong could see that Gu Nianzhi wasn't in a good mood. He thought it might be because of her pain and sympathized with her.
Seeing that she had closed her eyes to sleep, Yin Shixiong carefully closed the door and left.
When she reached the hallway, she heard Zhao Liangze call Huo Shaoheng. "Huo Shao! Professor He couldn't get through to Nianzhi's phone, so he was getting anxious! What do you think? "
On the other end of the line, Huo Shaoheng said expressionlessly through the Bluetooth headset, "Have Nianzhi call Professor He and tell him she's injured. Also, ask for a week's leave."
…
Gu Nianzhi had just closed her eyes when Zhao Liangze rushed into the bedroom and woke her up. "Nianzhi, Nianzhi, can you talk to Professor He?"
Gu Nianzhi finally remembered that she had promised He Zhichu. She couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, but she had no choice. After all, she was the one who broke her promise first. Also, He Zhichu was too powerful. Although Gu Nianzhi could keep her distance from him, she didn't want to completely fall out with him.
Her intuition told her that if they had a falling out, Huo Shaoheng would be the one to suffer …
"Brother Ze, give me the phone. I'll video call Professor He."
After Zhao Liangze left, Gu Nianzhi looked at her black T-shirt and pajamas. She got up from the bed and put on a coral pink Egyptian cotton pajama. She went back to bed and raised her phone to call He Zhichu.
