Chapter 1285: Time Is Precious
Gu Nianzhi spread her hands out and said with a smile, “I don’t need to understand. Major General Huo and I are getting married. If he can’t handle his family, why would he marry me? Brother Xiong, will you let your family mistreat Qiqi?”
“How would that be possible?! My parents love her like she’s their own daughter, and my son is at the back of the line!” Yin Shixiong said without hesitation as he chucked.
He had finally found a girlfriend when he was almost 30, and was about to get engaged to get married. His parents were extremely grateful towards Ma Qiqi, so how could they be snobby and make things difficult for her?
“It’s the same line of reasoning.” Gu Nianzhi cocked her head and looked Yin Shixiong up and down. “Ms. Song also loves me like she would love her own daughter…”
Although Ms. Song wasn’t a loving mother in the usual sense, Gu Nianzhi also wasn’t a good daughter in the usual sense. Both of them had their own careers to pursue, so the two of them were very compatible.
“But General Huo and Grandfather Huo have prejudices against you.” Yin Shixiong was very realistic when it came to other people’s affairs. “You can’t expect Major General Huo to be at home all the time helping you settle family relations, can you?”
Gu Nianzhi thought about it, then smiled and said, “I don’t think I have any family relations to settle. Grandfather Huo is getting old, so I plan to ask the Xie family to help him find something to do so that he doesn’t have to make things difficult for Major General Huo every day. There’s no need to talk about General Huo. If he makes things difficult for me, I’m sure General Ji won’t let him off the hook.”
The Xie family was Grandfather Huo’s in-laws. Grandfather Huo had let down his wife, and the Xie family hadn’t known about this before, but now that they knew, it wouldn’t make sense if they didn’t support their own kin.
Yin Shixiong raised an eyebrow and gave her a thumbs-up. “Good! You know how to use connections to your own advantage. You’re indeed a young genius!”
“Actually, my time is precious. Do you know how much those famous lawyers cost per hour? If you want to fight with me, you’d better think about your wallet first…” Gu Nianzhi smiled proudly. She threw her black hair behind her back and went back to her room.
She didn’t go downstairs much. She had been anxiously searching for information in her room in preparation of a lawsuit.
She went downstairs for dinner that night and found that Yin Shixiong wasn’t there either. Of course, Huo Shaoheng hadn’t come back either.
She had no interest in eating alone. She hurriedly stewed a bowl of rice soup using pork ribs and went upstairs to continue working.
When she went to bed in the middle of the night, Huo Shaoheng still hadn’t come back.
..
Huo Shaoheng was in the small meeting room of the military’s Supreme Council at the moment and reporting his work to a few bigwigs.
He had obtained a lot of first-hand information from his trip to Russia.
General Ji listened to him quietly and asked with a frown, “Then, did Director Song discover anything new in Tunguska?
Another big shot in the general assembly was also very concerned. “The military’s experiment has been going on for almost 20 years. We hope Director Song can produce actual results soon.”
“I heard that the United States has already made a major breakthrough. We can’t fall too far behind.”
Huo Shaoheng looked at the documents at hand, then said, “According to Director Song’s report, she made a major breakthrough in the area of the Sea of Japan, where ‘the work of nature’ was performed. This trip to Tunguska, Siberia was even more fortuitous. “After she has finished analyzing all the data, she should be able to enter the field test phase.”
When he said this, all the big shots in the room almost immediately beamed with joy.
It should be known that these people usually looked as calm as mountains in front of their families. It was really rare for them to show their emotions without reservation like this.
General Ji said with great emotion, “It’s been twenty years. In a few months, it will be twenty years. I hope that Superintendent Song can surpass his opponent this time and successfully complete the field test!”
If they really succeeded, they would not only be far ahead of the United States, but they would also be far ahead of everyone on Planet Blue Star. They would be unrivaled in the entire world!
Of course, the military bigwigs were the most excited about such things.
If Speaker Long had witnessed this scene, he would definitely have scolded the old military bigwigs for being “militaristic” and “wasting money and manpower”!
However, he was just saying that. His obsession with national security was even deeper than some of the military bigwigs, only in a different way.
When Huo Shaoheng sorted out all the information and finished his report, it was already one o’clock in the morning.
The military bigwigs were still in high spirits. They walked out of the meeting room in high spirits, as if they were ten years younger.
General Ji was the last to come out. He said to Huo Shaoheng, ” … Is the Russian president really coming to witness your wedding?”
“Yes, President Pushin really wants to attend our wedding. But… ” Huo Shaoheng hesitated. “We don’t plan to have a wedding anytime soon.”
He hadn’t discussed this with Gu Nianzhi, but he could tell that she didn’t really want to hold a wedding right away.
Because of Zhao Liangze, even Yin Shixiong planned to wait a year before getting married. Huo Shaoheng also planned to wait a year and a half before holding a wedding.
General Ji was very satisfied with the timing. He said, “President Pushin is coming to our place, so we need plenty of time to prepare. I think a year and a half isn’t a bad time, so let’s just leave it at that. In a year and a half, Nianzhi will be almost twenty-one.”
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips. “Yes, soon.”
After returning from the military compound to the Special Operations Forces headquarters, Huo Shaoheng went to the office building and worked through the night.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t wait for Huo Shaoheng to return.
When she woke up the next morning, she looked at her phone. It was seven o’clock in the morning.
Her biological clock adjusted very quickly.
Since Huo Shaoheng was so busy, Gu Nianzhi had no intention of staying idle.
She called He Zhichu and found out that he was at home today.
After asking for his address, Gu Nianzhi asked the orderly on Huo Shaoheng’s side for a car key and drove out in a military jeep.
Gu Nianzhi was now engaged to Huo Shaoheng, so she could use his car.
Besides, she was a woman, so she felt safer driving a military vehicle.
She could feel it on the highway since almost all the cars avoided her.
Gu Nianzhi smiled. She didn’t race, but obediently abided by the speed limit.
It was already ten in the morning when she arrived at He Zhichu’s villa in the west mountains.
Gu Nianzhi got out of the car. When her eyes saw the vast greenery, the spacious mountains, and chirpy birds, she felt relaxed and happy.
She pushed her sunglasses up above her head and got out of the car. She carefully surveyed the villa in front of her.
The house was built in a very unique architectural style. It had a grey roof and a wood-colored main building. Under the eaves in front of the door, one could see a wood-checkered lamp hanging from the eaves. There was also a fine-gold birdcage. There were two Rattan recliners on the veranda below the birdcage. It made one feel very at ease, and apeared to be almost one with the mountains.
The courtyard was very large and spacious. From the entrance of the courtyard to the main house villa, there was a wooden veranda. Beside the Veranda, there were two roads. One was the driveway, and the other was a small path made of sheep intestines and stones.
The main house villa was at the end of the intersection of the two small paths and the veranda.
It was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, and all roads returning to the same destination.
Gu Nianzhi was amazed by this big house.
He was really too rich. Not only was he rich, but he also had good taste.
But He Zhichu wouldn’t be the only one living in such a huge house, would he?
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself as she rang the doorbell.
He Zhichu, who was gracefully riding a yellow bicycle with black wheels, soon appeared at the luxurious cherry wood entrance of the villa.
He was wearing an ivory Egyptian cotton shirt with a small collar and a grey cashmere vest with a polo logo.
He Zhichu was wearing a pair of grey wool trousers. The seams were well-tailored, casual, and gave him a understated elegant look. His gold-rimmed glasses made him look elegant and sophisticated.
When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, He Zhichu put one foot on the ground and pressed the automatic button beside the door.
The courtyard door slowly opened.
He could have opened the courtyard door remotely from the main house, but he had to ride a bicycle..
Gu Nianzhi beamed at the bicycle he was riding and whistled, “Tsk Tsk, Professor He, you’re breaking the rules by showing off your wealth…a Lamborghini bicycle. One bicycle costs the equivalent of a mid-range car, right?”
