When Huo Shaoheng heard that it was Gu Nianzhi's graduation celebration, he paused and looked at his watch. It was already one in the afternoon.
"Where are you?" Huo Shaoheng began to pack his things and prepared to leave.
He had purposely left the second half of the day free because he wanted to celebrate Gu Nianzhi's graduation thesis defense.
However, Gu Nianzhi didn't call him after the defense was over.
As Huo Shaoheng walked out, he used his Bluetooth headset to call Gu Nianzhi.
"Whose past did the Priestess Temple Expedition Bow and Arrow belong to? I like the image of you belonging to me in the crowd …"
Gu Nianzhi's phone rang.
This was Huo Shaoheng's exclusive ringtone.
She subconsciously answered the call and said to the person in the room, "I'm going out to take a call."
She hurriedly walked out and stood on the walkway. She whispered, "Huo Shao?"
"… Is the defense over?"
"Yes, Huo Shao, I …"
"Why didn't you call me?" Huo Shaoheng asked unhappily. "You promised me."
Gu Nianzhi leaned against the wall of the walkway awkwardly and looked at the dark blue passionflower decal on the opposite wall. She mumbled, "I-I asked Brother Xiong to call for me."
"Alright, I'll let it go this time. Don't let it happen again. " Huo Shaoheng walked out of the elevator and went to the underground parking lot to get his car. "Ok, I'll be right there."
Gu Nianzhi mustered up her courage and said, "Huo Shao, Director Bai and her cousin are also here, as well as Professor He. Today is only a graduation celebration. Let's not talk about anything else."
Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He clasped his hands together and lit it. After a while, he finally said, "Yeah."
Huo Shaoheng hung up the phone, opened the car door, and got in. After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, he threw it into the nearby trash can and drove out of the parking lot.
Holding her phone, Gu Nianzhi stood quietly in the aisle for a while before returning to the private room.
He Zhichu handed her a glass of juice. "What's wrong?"
"It's fine." Gu Nianzhi smiled as she put her phone back into her bag. She looked up to see Bai Yueran walking over.
"Nianzhi, thank you for your hospitality today. I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first. Congratulations on graduating early, our genius girl. "Bai Yueran leaned over and hugged her.
Gu Nianzhi hugged her back. "Thank you, Director Bai."
"You're welcome. I'll make it up to you when we get back. "Bai Yueran patted her shoulder with a smile." We'll have a chance to work together in the future. "
"Director Bai, you're welcome." Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "If you need my help, just let me know. There's no need for gifts."
"How can we do that? We watched you grow up. " Bai Yueran winked at her with a smile, then waved at the people in the private room. "You guys enjoy yourselves. I'll be leaving first."
Zhao Liangze walked her out. "Yueran, it's Saturday today. Are you working overtime?"
Bai Yueran walked out with him and adjusted the straps of her bag. She said softly, "It's going to be New Year's in a week. There are a lot of things to do in the department, and we haven't finished arranging the roster for the New Year's shift. Also, because of the incident in Germany, a lot of people in the department's legal department have been dealt with, so there's a shortage of manpower. I'm currently recruiting new people. "
Zhao Liangze's heart skipped a beat as he recalled what Bai Yueran had just said to Gu Nianzhi. He quickly said, "You're recruiting? Could he consider Nianzhi? She graduated from a prestigious school, and she graduated early. I heard from Professor He that her graduation thesis was an excellent one. "
Bai Yueran looked at him with a smile. Her large eyes darted around. "You and Big Xiong care so much about Gu Nianzhi. Aren't you afraid that Huo Shao will be jealous?"
Zhao Liangze shrugged. "Huo Shao isn't that kind of person. Also, he broke up with Nianzhi. Big Xiong and I are worried about the eunuch. So we thought that if we could get Nianzhi to join our department, maybe things could turn around for the better. "
"They really broke up?" Bai Yueran frowned in surprise. "They still haven't reconciled after so long?"
She had thought that they were just having a quarrel …
"Look at Nianzhi's graduation celebration today. Big Xiong was the one who called Huo Shao to invite him." Zhao Liangze shook his head. His expression was helpless. "Okay, I'm just saying. Do you think there's any hope?"
He still wanted Gu Nianzhi to join the Special Operations Forces, but he had his own selfish motives.
Gu Nianzhi was considered his direct disciple. If such a computer savvy person entered the Special Operations Forces, he could think of a way to transfer her over to help him.
Although his current subordinates were all very good, Gu Nianzhi was different.
She was a genius who could draw inferences from one instance and even catch people off guard.
Bai Yueran shook her head regretfully. She said very solemnly, "I'm afraid that won't work. You know that our Special Operations Forces' background checks are too strict. Anyone with a slightly unclear background can't be admitted. As for Gu Nianzhi, her background is still unknown. She's like a ticking time bomb. No one knows when she'll explode. So I can't agree to you. "
Zhao Liangze also knew that it would be difficult. That was why he hoped Bai Yueran could make an exception.
Bai Yueran's refusal was reasonable.
However, Zhao Liangze was still a little disappointed. He put his hands in his trouser pockets. His handsome face was calm. He nodded at Bai Yueran. "I understand."
Bai Yueran had never seen such a cold and distant expression on Zhao Liangze's face. Although it was only a little, her heart skipped a beat. She realized that her refusal had hurt Zhao Liangze.
Zhao Liangze's passion had never faded from the first time he saw her. His eyes had always been bright when he looked at her.
Bai Yueran looked away. She felt very guilty.
She opened the car door. Just as she was about to get in, she suddenly turned around and called Zhao Liangze. "… Little Ze?"
Zhao Liangze was about to turn and leave when he heard her call him. He instinctively turned around. "Hmm? What is it? "
The weather was gloomy. Snowflakes were already floating in the air.
Zhao Liangze's handsome and elegant face had a different kind of charm through the dancing snowflakes.
He had been pursuing Bai Yueran for more than a year. Bai Yueran had always been indifferent. She didn't agree or reject him.
In Bai Yueran's heart, she couldn't describe how she felt about Zhao Liangze.
She didn't hate him. In fact, she liked him. However, she always felt that she was just a little bit away from love.
But today, in this parking lot, on this Saturday afternoon with the dancing snowflakes, Zhao Liangze's slightly distant expression shot Bai Yueran's heart like an arrow.
Because of her guilt, she actually felt a blossoming love for this man for the first time.
"Little Ze." She called him again. She let go of the car door and walked quickly to Zhao Liangze. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her slightly plump lips immediately pressed tightly against Zhao Liangze's slightly thin but well-shaped lips.
Zhao Liangze's mind buzzed. The love he had been suppressing all this time was like a flood that had been blocked by a dam. It suddenly poured out.
He hugged Bai Yueran's slender waist tightly and lowered his head to kiss her deeply.
…
Huo Shaoheng's car drove over. In the distance, he saw a tall man and woman kissing in the snow.
The scene was beautiful, but he didn't care. He didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy.
However, when he drove past them, he realized that the man was his personal secretary. He was also the current Deputy Chief of the Special Operations Forces, Zhao Liangze.
From the side profile and clothes of the woman, it was the Director of the Legal Department, Bai Yueran, whom Zhao Liangze had been pursuing.
Did this mean that the lovers finally got together? Or did the heavens not disappoint those who persevere?
Even the air seemed to be filled with the sour stench of love.
Could it be that it wasn't snow that was falling from the sky today, but a shower of dog food?
Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly as he drove over. He stopped near them.
