Huo Shaoheng volunteered to take Yin Shixiong's place to attend the performance. Yin Shixiong was a little embarrassed.
"Huo Shao, don't you have a program on Christmas Eve?" he asked carefully. His normally thick-skinned face was actually blushing.
Zhao Liangze laughed and punched him lightly. "Alright, Huo Shao never attends these foreign holidays. You know that, right? What's the point of complaining now? Who was the one who yelled that he was holding up a beautiful night?! "
Yin Shixiong chuckled and moved to the side. He propped his hands on the table and said, "Isn't that Qiqi? She's been talking about Christmas Eve ever since 800 years ago. She said that her school is very lively on Christmas Eve. The student council and classes also organize all kinds of activities. There's a choir singing hymns on campus. That's the atmosphere. "
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him and leaned back in his chair. "Big Xiong, although it's important to please your girlfriend, you can't participate in religious activities. Don't make mistakes."
"Yes, Chief." Yin Shixiong quickly straightened and became serious. "I know. I won't break the rules."
For people like them, it was fine to eat and sing karaoke on Christmas Eve, but it would be a mistake to actually attend a church.
"Ok, go." Huo Shaoheng waved his hand. "Hand over the work and review the emergency plan. We're on vacation, but the enemy doesn't care if you're on vacation or not. "
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze shouted in unison, "Yes, Chief!"
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze left Huo Shaoheng's office and went to review their own work.
The three of them wouldn't be at the headquarters during the weekend, so the people on duty and responsibilities were even more important.
Of course, Huo Shaoheng's own matters were even more important.
He didn't sleep the entire night and went through the work at hand again. He checked the missing parts and filled in the gaps. If there were problems, he sent them to rearrange them. If there were clues, he had to keep an eye on them. There was also the rotation of field personnel, the placement of family members, and the global layout of the Special Operations Forces. He had to be aware of all the big and small things.
There were many things that he didn't need to do personally, but as the head of the Special Operations Forces, he had to be responsible for the thousands of field personnel in the Special Operations Forces.
They were soldiers. Although they fought on a battlefield without gunpowder, they also used their lives to carry out missions and protect the interests of their country and people.
The slightest oversight on his part could cause an avalanche of consequences.
He didn't want to bear the consequences, and he didn't want to use other people's lives to "pay for his tuition".
His work only came to an end when it was almost ten o 'clock on Friday morning.
Of course, he couldn't say that he had finished everything, but his current arrangements could last for ten days to half a month.
Standing up from his seat, Huo Shaoheng returned to his official residence. First, he went to the gym to do an hour of extreme exercise. Sweating profusely, he instantly felt much more refreshed.
He then went to the bathroom to take a shower and changed into his casual clothes before sitting down for lunch.
This time, he had not eaten for almost a day and a half, so he ate a lot.
He ate six pieces of steak, which was cooked to medium well with special butter. Each piece weighed about half a catty, but he still wanted more.
Then, he ate a bowl of rice porridge that was cooked to the point that even the oil was oozing out. It was very nourishing to the stomach.
There were also a few stir-fried side dishes on the table. There were green cucumbers stir-fried with bacon and meat, chili fried with chopped eggs, and a vegetarian assortment of black fungus, fresh mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, and slices of yulan.
He cleaned up almost all the dishes on the table.
When the orderly came to clean up the dishes, he was shocked to see that the chief had eaten so much by himself. He quietly asked the orderly in the kitchen, "… How long has the chief been hungry?"
"He probably hasn't eaten since yesterday morning after he went out for breakfast."
The orderly in the kitchen looked at the dishes and shook his head with a sigh.
He had been with Huo Shaoheng for a few years and knew his eating habits and routine well.
Therefore, the food he prepared was very much to Huo Shaoheng's liking, both in terms of quality and quantity.
"Go ask the chief if he will be eating at the official residence tonight. If he is, I'll make a soup to replenish his vitality right now."
"Okay, I'll go ask now."
When he went upstairs, the orderly knocked on the door and asked loudly through the intercom, "Chief, will you be eating at the official residence tonight? The kitchen needs to be prepared. "
Huo Shaoheng didn't open the door. He only said into the intercom, "… I won't be back for dinner tonight. I have something to do this weekend. You guys should rest early and take a break."
"… Yes, Chief!" The voice answered cheerfully.
He returned to the kitchen and said to the three orderlies who were in charge of cooking, "The chief said he won't be back for dinner tonight and told us to rest early. He also said he'll give us two days off. He has something to do this weekend."
The three orderlies in the kitchen all laughed. "The chief is so considerate! We can go out for a walk this weekend. "
"… Haha, are you going to see your girlfriend?"
"What girlfriend? We're an old married couple. "
The orderlies laughed as they cleaned up the kitchen. The official residence was instantly filled with a festive atmosphere.
Huo Shaoheng dealt with a few more emails in the study of the official residence. It was almost one in the afternoon.
He then checked Gu Nianzhi's class schedule. She didn't have any classes this Friday afternoon. Her last class should have finished at 12 in the morning.
Huo Shaoheng casually grabbed his briefcase and put on his Bluetooth headset. He called Gu Nianzhi as he walked out.
…
Gu Nianzhi had just finished lunch and came out of the cafeteria to ride her bike.
She heard her phone ring. It was Huo Shaoheng's exclusive ringtone.
She put on her headset and answered the call as she rode.
"… Huo Shao?"
"Nianzhi? Have you had lunch? "Huo Shaoheng opened the door to his Bentley SUV and got in. He started the car.
He didn't bring any guards with him. He was going out on private business alone, so he didn't take his Hongqi.
"I just finished." Gu Nianzhi was in a good mood. Her long legs kicked off the ground and the bike whizzed off.
She held the handlebars with one hand and drew a beautiful arc on the bike path. Her beautiful face was brimming with youthful energy and brightness. Anyone who saw her would be in a good mood.
"Classmate Gu Nianzhi!" A boy with a backpack rode up from behind on a bike. "Wait!"
Although Gu Nianzhi was talking to Huo Shaoheng through her Bluetooth headset, she could still hear the voices outside.
She looked back and took off her Bluetooth headset. She stopped and smiled at the boy who caught up to her. "… You're from Class One of the Faculty of Law?"
He looked familiar, but she didn't remember his name because they had never met before.
Gu Nianzhi was a special presence among this year's Master of Law students at B University. She didn't have classes with this year's students. Instead, she had classes with her tutor, He Zhichu, and his doctoral students.
As for the public elective classes she attended, she mingled with students from all faculties in the school, so she wasn't very familiar with the students of her level.
The boy saw that Gu Nianzhi had stopped on her own with a sweet smile and a crisp voice. She wasn't as arrogant and unreasonable as some students said. He felt a little more confident.
He asked carefully, "Classmate Gu Nianzhi, tomorrow is the weekend, and it's Christmas Eve. The class wants to have a dance party to give the students a chance to socialize. Would you be willing to do us the honor? I know you're not in the same class as us, but we're all in the same year. You don't want to graduate and not even know your classmates' names, do you? "
They had originally asked Gu Nianzhi's roommate, Ma Qiqi, to inform her, but Ma Qiqi said she had an appointment on the weekend and couldn't attend class activities. She also didn't want Gu Nianzhi to feel awkward because of her, so she declined and didn't agree to pass the message for them.
The boys thought about it and still wanted to take the initiative to ask Gu Nianzhi.
They wouldn't lose anything if they asked. What if Gu Nianzhi agreed to come?
Then the dance party for their Law Faculty Class One would be a sensation on campus!
Gu Nianzhi looked at him with a smile and tilted her head.
"I bet you don't know my name." The boy laughed self-deprecatingly.
Gu Nianzhi smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Ok, I'll go."
"Oh my! That's great! "The boy was so happy he actually jumped up and his bike fell to the ground.
Gu Nianzhi laughed so hard she bent over and quickly propped her bike to the side to help the boy up his bike.
"Tell me the time and place. I should be free on the weekend." She answered quickly.
She had been studying very hard recently. In order to graduate early, she only slept four to five hours a day. She felt like she should reward herself.
She hadn't tried a dance party with her peers yet.
The boy nodded and gathered his courage again. "Can you tell me your phone number? I'll send the time and place to you."
Gu Nianzhi didn't hesitate and gave him her phone number.
The boy immediately called.
Gu Nianzhi's phone rang.
"Ok, we'll send it to you when we confirm the place." The boy waved his phone and beamed.
Gu Nianzhi was confused. "You haven't confirmed the place for the dance party today?"
The boy shrank back and smiled sheepishly. "It's like this. We're planning on booking a bar outside of campus, but … we haven't agreed on the terms yet. So …"
"Oh, I see." Gu Nianzhi understood. "Then let me know when you're sure."
The boy repeatedly agreed and happily rode away on his bike.
Of course he had to go back to report the good news.
A few rich boys in their grade had announced that if they could invite Gu Nianzhi to the Christmas dance party, they would pay for the booking.
Gu Nianzhi was so focused on her studies and lawsuits that she didn't know she had unknowingly become the top student goddess in the Law Faculty.
She was smart, beautiful, and had top-notch professional skills. A girl like her would never lack admirers.
There were indeed many boys interested in Gu Nianzhi, but they couldn't find a chance to interact with her.
Although Gu Nianzhi was an orphan, she had an amazing tutor, He Zhichu, who was famous for being protective of her.
When Gu Nianzhi was in school, she spent most of her time with him. He Zhichu would glare coldly at anyone who approached her before Gu Nianzhi noticed.
She also heard from Ma Qiqi that her relatives also had connections with high-ranking military officials. Therefore, the people who had looked down on Gu Nianzhi because she was an orphan didn't dare to do anything now.
On the contrary, people with average backgrounds didn't even dare to think about her.
It wasn't easy to get a chance to have a class activity. Those who thought they could give it a try were all rubbing their palms and getting ready to spend Christmas Eve with the beautiful girl.
Because Gu Nianzhi was talking to the boy, she took off her Bluetooth earpiece and didn't hang up on Huo Shaoheng. Therefore, Huo Shaoheng could hear her entire conversation with the boy.
