Huo Shaoheng didn't comment. He looked around and said, "When do you plan on moving in? It's best to renovate this place. "
Gu Nianzhi didn't let him change the topic and waved at him. "Huo Shaoheng, did you hear that? You're not allowed to install bugs and pinhole cameras in my house! "
Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi seriously and asked calmly, "… Am I that low?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She looked away and muttered, "I was just reminding you."
"Do I need you to remind me? You're questioning my professional ability. "Huo Shaoheng spread his hands at Gu Nianzhi." Give me the key. I'll install it for you before you move in. "
"Then remember, you can't let me install bugs and pinhole cameras in the house. You promised. "
Gu Nianzhi took out the key and shook it.
She was very concerned about personal privacy and was very familiar with the infiltration methods of the Special Operations Forces, so she had to be upfront.
Huo Shaoheng was willing to provide her with security measures, of course, but he couldn't cross her bottom line.
"Ok, when do you plan on moving in?"
Gu Nianzhi wasn't in a hurry. She just needed to finish the house before she graduated. However, she didn't tell Huo Shaoheng and only said, "The sooner the better. Otherwise, I won't have anywhere to go during winter break. "
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and took the key. He turned to call Yin Shixiong. "Big Xiong, come out for a second."
Yin Shixiong quickly ran over and the two of them went to the door to discuss installing security measures.
"Huo Shao, you're really not going to install it?" Yin Shixiong asked in a very low voice.
But he knew that it had to be installed …
Huo Shaoheng looked up at Gu Nianzhi and continued to say calmly, "Of course. But not in the house. Install it at the door, in the hallway, in the elevator, at the entrance to the residential area, on the walls, and in the underground parking lot. All the windows here have cords that are connected to our alarm system. " He looked around the house again. "Redecorate everything here. Find the best renovation company. Get someone to keep an eye on it and tear it down from the inside out."
Otherwise, they wouldn't be at ease. This was their occupational disease.
Yin Shixiong laughed and gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up. "Brilliant! It's too high! "
If that was the case, there would be no pinhole cameras or wiretaps in the house, but the entire apartment would still be under surveillance.
Even if a bird stopped outside the window, they would know.
Even if Gu Nianzhi found out about it in the future, it wouldn't make Huo Shao look "low".
Because he didn't break his promise to Gu Nianzhi: he wouldn't pretend in the house.
Key point: Inside the house.
…
Gu Nianzhi watched Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong discuss something at the door. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces.
She blinked, turned around, and pulled Ma Qiqi to look at the balcony.
The balcony of this apartment was enclosed. The previous owner had built a small tatami there. It was very comfortable to step on it barefoot.
The large floor-to-ceiling windows were covered with a dark green bamboo curtain that could be rolled up. Then, the primrose yellow soft gauze curtains on both sides of the window would be lowered. Facing the melting moonlight outside the window, the artistic conception would be very beautiful.
Ma Qiqi pointed at the tatami and said with a smile, "I'll give you a set of tatami furniture, a small cabinet, two cushions, a small coffee table, and an imperial concubine recliner. Put them here. On the weekends, you and I can drink tea, chat, and watch dramas here. Oh right, we can put a large LCD TV here. "
Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and listened with interest as Ma Qiqi imagined the beautiful future. She couldn't help but be fascinated by it. "Ok, hang a pot of spider plants here, preferably the ones that have already bloomed. Also put a row of succulents on the windowsill. "
Ma Qiqi nodded vigorously. "Succulents are good! I can only raise succulents, the other flowers and plants are all dead in my hands. "
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "What a coincidence. Me too. We really have something in common now."
…
When Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong finished talking, it was already past six o 'clock.
"Let's go have dinner and then send them back." Huo Shaoheng raised his chin towards the house.
Yin Shixiong happily agreed and entered the house to say loudly, "Ladies, please do us the honor of having dinner with us!"
Before Gu Nianzhi could refuse, Ma Qiqi already burst out laughing. She pointed at Yin Shixiong and said, "Ok! Brother Xiong, you better be prepared to pay the bill. Be careful we don't eat you broke! "
Yin Shixiong waved at them. "Ok, no problem! As long as you can afford it, I'll even take out a loan for you! "
"Brother Xiong, you're too much. You want to take out a loan just to have dinner with you? Do you want to go Dutch?" Gu Nianzhi smiled ambiguously and patted Ma Qiqi's shoulder. "Today is my big day to buy a house. It's my treat. Tell me, where do you want to eat? "
Ma Qiqi immediately said, "It's great that Nianzhi is treating! Our school's No.1 cafeteria is pretty good. I really like the chili stir-fry. Let's go to No.1? "
Yin Shixiong knew Ma Qiqi was trying to help Gu Nianzhi save money, so he couldn't help but nod. He felt that although this girl appeared to be careless, she was actually quite meticulous and considerate. He liked her even more.
Huo Shaoheng checked on his phone at the door and walked in. "There's a Cantonese restaurant nearby. Let's go check it out. It's my treat."
Ma Qiqi immediately clasped her hands together and said to Huo Shaoheng, "Huo Shao is treating! Then I'll definitely bother you! "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong turned to go downstairs. Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi followed behind them.
Gu Nianzhi glared at Ma Qiqi. "Are you looking down on me?"
"I wouldn't dare to look down on you!" Ma Qiqi was about to cry injustice. "That's because I've never eaten Huo Shao's treat before. Just let me satisfy you this once … I can brag about it for a year if I eat a treat from a national high-ranking official! "
Gu Nianzhi was amused by her and patted her lightly. "Look at how capable you are. I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense to other people. Be careful of getting into trouble."
"I know. I won't say who did it. But you have to satisfy my normal citizen mentality! " Ma Qiqi pulled on Gu Nianzhi's arm and whispered in her ear, "… I offended him before. I'm trying my best to please him now … I hope he can forget that scene and doesn't think about messing with me in the future …"
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, why would someone like Huo Shaoheng care about something like that?
However, she could understand Ma Qiqi's worries. If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Huo Shaoheng when she was young, her mentality now would be even worse than Ma Qiqi's. She would probably have to avoid people like Huo Shaoheng.
…
They got into Huo Shaoheng's car and went to a nearby Cantonese restaurant for dinner.
Cantonese cuisine was particular about "fragrant, soft, tender, thick, and loose." Soup was a must have.
Ma Qiqi also liked Cantonese cuisine. She took the menu and didn't hesitate to order steamed ribs in black bean sauce, peony stuffed with hundred flowers (crab roe stewed with snake soup), and crab balls in clear broth.
Yin Shixiong saw this and ordered a white cut chicken and seafood marinated platter.
Gu Nianzhi looked at it and thought it was enough, so she only ordered a basket of shrimp dumplings as an appetizer.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the menu and ordered the most famous duck soup with winter melon and barley rice.
The weather was getting cold, so Gu Nianzhi needed nourishment …
Both the host and guests enjoyed the dinner. Ma Qiqi even drank some wine. Her little face was flushed, and her large, watery eyes were very attractive.
It was already past eight by the time they finished eating, so Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong sent Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi back to the dorms.
Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong got in the car and left B University after seeing them settle in.
Yin Shixiong drove onto the highway. Huo Shaoheng sat in the car silently for a while before saying to Yin Shixiong, "Go to the military compound and return to the Huo residence."
There was only one military compound in the imperial capital, and that was where the higher-ups lived.
Huo Shaoheng's home was also there, but he hadn't been there for a long time.
Yin Shixiong turned onto the highway to the military compound.
There was no traffic at all, so they arrived in only half an hour.
Huo Shaoheng got out of the car and looked at the small building with its own front and courtyard. He walked in with an indifferent expression.
There were guards on both sides of the large iron gate.
When they saw it was Huo Shaoheng, they all saluted him. "Hello, Chief!"
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand and walked inside without stopping.
When he reached the entrance of the mansion, the orderlies standing guard at the door greeted him loudly. "Hello, Chief!"
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
Huo Shaoheng's father, Huo Guanchen, was reading the military internal reference in the living room. When he heard the orderlies greeting him, he put down the internal reference in his hand and looked towards the door.
When Huo Shaoheng's figure appeared at the entrance, Huo Guanchen smiled but quickly hid it. He put on a serious expression again and picked up the internal reference to read.
Huo Shaoheng walked to the living room and stood in front of Huo Guanchen. He said calmly, "General Huo, I have something to ask you."
Huo Guanchen was speechless.
He didn't even greet his father. Did he want to die?!
Huo Guanchen felt uncomfortable. He looked up at Huo Shaoheng and said coldly, "Say it here."
"This is confidential. You'll make a mistake if you say it here." Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and stared at Huo Guanchen.
"I'll make a mistake? Are you kidding me?! "Huo Guanchen was furious. He threw away the internal reference in his hand and stood up." What kind of attitude is that?! "
"Is it not a mistake to violate confidentiality laws?" Huo Shaoheng's voice turned cold.
"You better have a real secret to say! Otherwise … hmph! "Huo Guanchen turned and walked upstairs to the study.
Huo Shaoheng looked around. Huo Guanchen was the only one in the large living room.
It used to be bustling with people everywhere.
Grandfather Huo had brought his head nurse Zhang's son, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren to fill the place.
His mother, Song Jinning, had been seriously ill at the time. There was a dedicated nurse who lived here 24 hours a day to take care of her.
Bai Jinyi from the Bai family would come here every now and then to spend the night …
Huo Shaoheng's eyes dimmed. He followed Huo Guanchen to the study.
"What do you want to say?" Huo Guanchen sat behind the desk and rested his arms on the armrests of the chair. He frowned and asked Huo Shaoheng with an impatient expression.
Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and looked down at Huo Guanchen. He said in a low voice, "General Huo, I want to know why you didn't carry out General Ji's order to rescue Gu Nianzhi when she went missing in Germany."
