Huo Shaoheng hung up and didn't want to disturb Gu Nianzhi.
He was also very busy with work, so he always had time to call her.
However, Gu Nianzhi was either studying or sleeping, so she rarely answered his calls.
Two weeks had passed in a flash, and he hadn't seen her.
Huo Shaoheng turned on his computer and wanted to check his work schedule for the day, but he realized he was a bit distracted.
His eyes kept glancing at his phone, but he finally stopped himself.
However, staying up late was a bad habit, so he had to remind her when he saw her at the birthday banquet at the Prime Minister's official residence.
…
Gu Nianzhi had slept very soundly during the day because she hadn't slept all night.
He Zhichu also called her in the afternoon, but seeing that no one picked up, he also called Ma Qiqi.
Ma Qiqi also told him that Gu Nianzhi had stayed up late last night and only fell asleep this morning.
After He Zhichu put down the phone, he immediately drove to a restaurant outside and ordered takeout to personally deliver to her dorm.
It was already around four in the afternoon when he arrived at Gu Nianzhi's dorm.
He Zhichu called Gu Nianzhi again, and she picked up this time.
Her voice still sounded sleepy as she sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes. "Professor He, what's up?"
He Zhichu replied dryly, "I brought you some soup. Do you want to come down and get it?"
"Soup?!" Gu Nianzhi immediately felt hungry. She had slept all day and hadn't eaten anything. "I'll be right down. Thank you, Professor He!"
Gu Nianzhi happily put on her clothes and went downstairs. She saw He Zhichu wearing a plain suit and a light blue tie. He stood elegantly in front of the dorm building, and many girls were sneaking glances at him.
However, He Zhichu wasn't impatient at all.
Gu Nianzhi walked out with a smile and extended her hand. "Thank you, Professor He!"
He Zhichu placed a set of insulated lunch boxes with hot dishes and soup in her hand. "Eat while it's hot." He then asked her, "There's a birthday banquet at the Prime Minister's official residence tonight. Do you want to go?"
He asked casually, as if he could take Gu Nianzhi anytime she wanted to go.
Gu Nianzhi quickly asked, "You also got an invitation?"
"Yeah, Gu Yanran gave me one." He Zhichu heard her say "also". "Don't tell me you already have an invitation?"
"Yes, Gu Yanran also gave me a copy. She personally delivered it to me so that I could see how proud she was." Gu Nianzhi was a little helpless. "That arrogance was unimaginable."
He Zhichu smiled. "This kind of person is short-sighted. If you don't want to acknowledge her, then don't acknowledge her."
"Huh? That won't do. "Gu Nianzhi shook her head and said seriously," It's not a matter of whether I admit it or not. Since she and I are both daughters of the Gu family, even if I hate her, I will not abandon my identity. Just like you said, legally speaking, I am Gu Xiangwen's daughter. What's wrong with that? Why would I want to avoid her? Does she deserve it? "
"That's right." He Zhichu rubbed her head. "So are you going to the Prime Minister's official residence tonight?"
"Go, why wouldn't I go? She tried so hard to get me to go. If I don't go, wouldn't it be a waste of her careful preparations? " Gu Nianzhi saw that everyone around her seemed to have been invited, so she understood Gu Yanran's intentions. However, she was not afraid of Gu Yanran at all.
She didn't want to talk to her before because she didn't want trouble.
However, if Gu Yanran insisted on making things difficult for her, she would not be lenient.
She would not cause trouble, but she was not afraid of trouble either.
If anyone dared to mess with her, she would make sure that person would avoid her for the rest of their lives. They would never want to mess with her a second time.
He Zhichu nodded. "Don't be afraid. I will also go tonight."
He would keep an eye on Gu Yanran. If he found out that she had anything to do with those dirty tricks, he would not forgive her.
…
Gu Nianzhi returned to the dormitory with the lunch box and happened to see Ma Qiqi coming out of her room.
"Wow! What is this? It smells so good. "Ma Qiqi could not move when she saw the food.
Gu Nianzhi opened the lunch box to see a big bowl of stewed ribs with lotus root, a bowl of sea cucumber millet porridge, a box of steamed eggs with sea cucumber, and a bowl of chicken sea cucumber.
"This is a sea cucumber banquet!" Ma Qiqi's eyes lit up as she clicked her tongue. "Professor He prepared this for you? He must know that you stayed up too late last night. These sea cucumber dishes are nourishing and especially suitable for people who often stay up late. "
"Come, let's eat together." Gu Nianzhi took out a bowl and chopsticks to scoop a bowl of soup for Ma Qiqi.
The two of them began eating the food He Zhichu had bought.
It had to be said that He Zhichu knew Gu Nianzhi very well.
The food he had bought was for two people. He knew that she would share it with Ma Qiqi.
The amount of food wasn't actually a lot, and the taste was especially delicious. The sea cucumber was cooked to perfection and wasn't dry at all. It felt like it melted in the mouth, but it wasn't so soft that it was chewy.
She could also tell that there was only a little salt in the dishes. There were no seasonings like MSG, chicken powder, mushroom powder, or anything like that. It was completely the aroma of the ingredients themselves.
After finishing the dinner, Ma Qiqi collapsed on the sofa and rubbed her stomach. "I think I'm stuffed. Why would I go to a birthday banquet today? I definitely won't be able to eat anything … "
Gu Nianzhi snickered and pointed at Ma Qiqi. "You're really thinking too much. How can a birthday banquet be a proper dinner? It's all alcohol, fruit, and some buffet food. It's not delicious at all. Also, the guests aren't there to eat. They're there to socialize, understand? "
"I don't understand." Ma Qiqi shook her head honestly. "I told you I'm not going …"
"Then we're not going?" Gu Nianzhi said deliberately. "We'll just be wallflowers if we go anyway. I don't know many people there. "
Ma Qiqi thought about it and muttered, "Then let's go. I've never been to an event like this before. I can brag about it for a year if I go."
Gu Nianzhi laughed until her stomach hurt. She leaned on the table and screamed for a while before returning to her room to shower and change.
It was already dark when it was past seven. The streetlights outside the dormitory building lit up and cast a dim yellow glow.
Gu Nianzhi was wearing trousers and a light purple wool top with puffy sleeves. The neckline was layered in a medieval scarf style. The chest was loose, but the waist area suddenly shrank, making her breasts slimmer and waist slimmer.
She wore a pair of thin gray wool pants with straight seams on her long legs. They were tucked into mid-calf boots. She looked very capable.
She didn't have much makeup on. She only put on a layer of bright pink lipstick. Her face immediately lit up.
Ma Qiqi was wearing a sky-blue Chanel Autumn/Winter suit. The skirt was just above her knees, revealing her long legs. On her feet were a pair of matching Manolo shoes.
Blahnik high heels and a long coat that reached her knees.
It was already the end of October. The nights in the Imperial Capital were already very cold.
Yin Shixiong and Huo Shaoheng drove to Gu Nianzhi's dormitory and saw Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi waiting at the entrance.
Yin Shixiong happily waved for them to come over.
However, only Ma Qiqi ran over and got into the car. Gu Nianzhi walked to the other car.
Huo Shaoheng sat in the back seat and looked at the car in front with a deep gaze.
He recognized the license plate. It was He Zhichu's car.
"Your Professor He is also attending the birthday banquet at the Prime Minister's official residence?" Huo Shaoheng asked Ma Qiqi calmly.
"Yes, Professor He even brought us dinner tonight. It was all sea cucumber. It was so delicious!"
