Gu Nianzhi certainly wouldn't argue with Huo Shaoheng when someone came to greet her.
She had never made a mistake in her etiquette in front of a large crowd.
Huo Shaoheng stopped and shook hands with Speaker Long with a smile. "Happy New Year, Speaker Long. You seem to have gotten a few years younger since I last saw you. The busier you are, the more energetic you are! "
"Hahaha … Shaoheng, you really know how to talk! The busier I am, the more energetic I am! "Speaker Long laughed heartily and quickly looked at Gu Nianzhi who was standing next to Huo Shaoheng.
"Miss Gu! It's so good to see you. You're here to visit General Ji too? " Speaker Long turned to look at Gu Nianzhi and reached out his hand. "I was planning to talk to you after the New Year and happened to run into you here today. This is really a chance encounter, ahahahahaha! "
Gu Nianzhi was a little flattered and quickly shook his hand. She smiled and said, "Originally, I didn't have the right to come to this place, but Huo Shao's right arm was injured, and Colonel Yin and Colonel Zhao weren't by his side, so I volunteered to be his nurse!"
Huo Shaoheng didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to come up with such an excuse. He couldn't help but look at her but didn't expose her.
Speaker Long was shocked and looked at Huo Shaoheng. "How did your right arm get injured? Is it serious? "
Huo Shaoheng had come to visit for the New Year, so his right arm wasn't in a splint. It was just slightly bent and hanging by his side.
If Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything, most people wouldn't be able to tell that Huo Shaoheng's arm was injured.
"It's not serious. I was accidentally shocked during the annual inspection." Huo Shaoheng told the truth. There was nothing to hide.
"Oh, that's good." Speaker Long patted his shoulder. "Shaoheng, although you're young, you still have to take care."
"I'll be careful. Thank you, Speaker Long. " Huo Shaoheng said politely and turned to walk side by side with Speaker Long to the steps of General Ji's courtyard.
Gu Nianzhi naturally fell a step behind and walked with Special Assistant Yang who was behind Speaker Long.
Special Assistant Yang looked straight ahead, so Gu Nianzhi didn't take the initiative to greet him.
Speaker Long chatted with Huo Shaoheng for a bit. As he walked up the steps, he remembered what he wanted to tell Gu Nianzhi. He turned around to look at her and asked, "Miss Gu, I heard that you graduated your master's degree in advance?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded quickly. "You can just call me Nianzhi. Yes, I just graduated with a master's degree. That's ahead of schedule."
"That's good, that's good." Speaker Long was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He didn't even care about Huo Shaoheng anymore. He confided in Gu Nianzhi, "Nianzhi, the secretariat of the Senate is currently recruiting people. You should apply, and I'll write a recommendation letter for you. With such a good seedling like you, I have to strike first to gain the upper hand! "
Gu Nianzhi didn't expect Speaker Long to think so highly of her. "Oh? Are you serious?! "
"Of course, why would I joke around with a little girl like you?" Speaker Long refused to let go of her hand. "By the way, Qingying, you know Xie Qingying, right? I heard she's your relative? "
"Cousin Xie? I know her. "Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile." We even had dinner together. "
Ever since Gu Nianzhi helped Xie Qingying clear the suspicion of being of "Japanese descent" in court, Xie Dezhao and Xie Qingying had been very nice to Gu Nianzhi. Moreover, they were relatives.
Gu Nianzhi's father, Gu Xiangwen, and Xie Qingying's mother, Gu Tian, who was also Xie Dezhao's wife, were biological siblings.
Speaker Long quickly said, "Qingying's mother is my cousin now, so it looks like we're relatives too."
Gu Nianzhi knew this. Originally, she didn't want to be related to Speaker Long, but Speaker Long took the initiative to say it. She played along with him and said with a smile, "Oh, then I'm really in a higher position. With Speaker Long as my backer in the future, won't I be able to do whatever I want? "
"Are you born in the year of the crab?" Speaker Long smiled. He thought it was very interesting to talk to Gu Nianzhi.
"No, of course I'm not born in the year of the crab." Gu Nianzhi smoothly held onto Speaker Long's arm as they walked up the stairs.
"Since you're not born in the year of the crab, how can you do whatever you want?" Speaker Long laughed heartily and walked with Gu Nianzhi to the entrance of General Ji's house.
Huo Shaoheng fell behind.
However, he didn't look unhappy. On the contrary, Huo Shaoheng felt proud that Gu Nianzhi had received Speaker Long's recognition.
Special Assistant Yang also fell behind and was now walking with Huo Shaoheng.
"Miss Gu is so lucky. She has Huo Shao to protect her and Speaker Long to back her up. For someone like her, the starting line is the finishing line for others, "Special Assistant Yang said with emotion. He glanced at Huo Shaoheng, but Huo Shaoheng didn't respond. He smiled faintly and walked into the entrance.
When they entered General Ji's house, they immediately saw General Ji sitting in the living room and chatting with the people who had arrived earlier.
Everyone was in a good mood, and laughter could be heard from the other side.
As soon as Speaker Long entered, he was immediately led to General Ji.
Everyone stood up and shook hands with Speaker Long.
General Ji greeted Speaker Long and quickly saw Gu Nianzhi standing next to Speaker Long. He said in surprise, "Nianzhi? You came with Speaker Long? Where's Shaoheng? "
Gu Nianzhi blushed slightly but still replied gracefully, "Huo Shao is here too."
She turned to look at the entrance. "Look, I'm here now."
Speaker Long smiled at General Ji. "I know Shaoheng is your favorite general, but you don't have to be so biased, right? You didn't even look at me when I was standing in front of you! "
"Hahahaha, of course not! I was just too surprised to see Nianzhi come in with you! " General Ji said as he waved at Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, how did you come with Speaker Long?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "I came with Huo Shao and met Speaker Long at the door, so we walked in together."
She knew that the people sitting there were all the most powerful people in the Huaxia Empire. She wasn't familiar with them, and they were only polite to her because of Huo Shaoheng.
As soon as Huo Shaoheng came over, she tactfully retreated.
As expected, General Ji and Speaker Long both began to talk to Huo Shaoheng. Everyone sat down on the sofa in the living room and began to talk about their "national affairs."
Gu Nianzhi walked alone to a small sitting room attached to the living room.
It wasn't a big place, only about ten square meters. The bay window was covered with soft cushions and a pillow with a panda design.
Gu Nianzhi's own pillow was in the shape of a small panda, so it looked very familiar.
There were already people sitting together in twos and threes. Whether it was the long sofa or the single sofa, they were all occupied. They all looked like the attendants of the big shots in the living room.
Gu Nianzhi greeted them and naturally sat on the bay window sill. She was lost in thought as she looked at the winter scenery outside.
Outside the window was General Ji's flower garden. There were two winter plum trees in the winter garden, blooming brilliantly and fragrant.
A middle-aged woman who looked like a servant walked over with a tea tray. She smiled at Gu Nianzhi. "Miss Gu, this is crystal winter plum cake and meat floss egg rolls. Please try them. Would you like tea or coffee? "
Gu Nianzhi thought about it. "What kind of coffee do you have?"
"Latte, cappuccino, black coffee, all of them, and milk tea."
"Oh, milk tea then." Gu Nianzhi thought it would be delicious with the crystal winter plum cake.
Soon after, the milk tea was brought in. Gu Nianzhi sat cross-legged on the bay window sill. There were two plates of pastries and a cup of steaming milk tea on the tea tray in front of her.
Gu Nianzhi held the milk tea in her palm and took a deep breath. Smelling the unique fragrance of the milk tea, she looked intoxicated.
Although Huo Shaoheng was sitting far away in the living room, at least half of his attention was on Gu Nianzhi.
Seeing her happily sitting cross-legged on the bay window sill in the small living room with pastries in front of her and milk tea in her hand, he finally relaxed. He shifted his gaze back to General Ji and Speaker Long to focus on their conversation.
The big shots were also using this opportunity to have a meeting.
The entire living room of General Ji's house was under strict surveillance.
Special Assistant Yang didn't have the right to participate in this kind of emergency meeting.
Therefore, he was also led to the living room where the attendants were. He smiled and said, "Special Assistant Yang, please take a seat. I'll bring you some pastries."
Special Assistant Yang waved his hand. "No need, just give me a cup of coffee. Latte, no sugar."
"Ok."
After the servant left, Special Assistant Yang came to Gu Nianzhi and bowed slightly. "Miss Gu, we meet again."
Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile. "Special Assistant Yang, we met outside just now."
At the time, Special Assistant Yang pretended she didn't exist. Gu Nianzhi only noticed Special Assistant Yang's gaze when Speaker Long pulled her aside to talk.
"Haha, Miss Gu is so funny." Special Assistant Yang sat cross-legged across from her and nodded with a smile. "Miss Gu is so lucky. You had the protection of a professor in school and graduated early. As soon as you graduated, the job automatically came to you. It seems that you also received a lot of resources from Major General Huo. This is like having a big tree to lean on, hahaha … "
