Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1505 - I’m Loyal To Him

Chapter 1505: I’m Loyal To Him

“Looks interesting...”

Resting her chin on one hand, Gu Nianzhi said with interest. She leaned over to Xiao Zhang and tilted her head to see the socialite gossip.

When she saw the photo of Wen Shouyi in a white Louis Vuitton business suit appearing on the list of “socialites,” Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and pointed to her photo. “This person is also a socialite?”

She thought that a socialite had to be from a prestigious family.

“Of course!” Xiao Zhang poked the photo on his iPad with her finger. “She’s amazing! I heard she’s Dean Qin’s goddaughter. She graduated from Harvard Law School and is the youngest director of the military. She’s also Major General He’s personal secretary!”

Although Wen Shouyi was no longer He Zhichu’s personal secretary, the general public still didn’t know about this.

Gu Nianzhi snickered. “Dean Qin’s goddaughter? Really?”

“That’s what they all say. Dean Qin brought her to some of the upper-class banquets, maybe as an assistant.”

Xiao Zhang seemed to remember something and took out her phone. “Let me show you my collection. I don’t even want to use it as wallpaper.”

She pulled out a photo from her phone album and showed it to Gu Nianzhi, as if it was a treasure. “See? This is the only picture of Major General He that has appeared on the Internet. You have no idea how many ignorant girls have been swept up by it!”

It was a work photo of He Zhichu when he was awarded the title.

The Young Major General was in high spirits. He looked at the camera silently and indifferently. His glimmering almond-shaped eyes were as deep as the sea and as dark as the night.

Without saying anything, he could make people dive into his deep eyes and wish they could drown in them.

Gu Nianzhi looked up at Xiao Zhang.”... You’re one of the ignorant girls?”

“I used to be,” Xiao Zhang corrected her. “When I was young and ignorant, I was his obsessive fan, but after I grew up, I knew I couldn’t be Mrs. He, so I hid my love from everyone.”

Gu Nianzhi looked at her again. “... from everyone?” She pointed at herself. “I’m not anyone?”

Xiao Zhang giggled, “Of course you’re not anyone. You’re my boss and my breadwinner. How can you be anyone? Lawyer Gu, to be honest, Major General He has been keeping a low profile all these years. He hasn’t shown his face in three or four years, and we retard fans have been climbing walls.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

“Come, lawyer Gu, do you want to join Major General He’s obsessive fan club with me?” Xiao Zhang pretended to be serious as she reached out her hand to her. “I’m the founder. I’ll be your president.”

Gu Nianzhi giggled and said, “That won’t be necessary. You can follow him yourself.”

“Don’t you think he’s especially good-looking?!” Xiao Zhang was surprised, “Let’s not talk about the uniform. I’m a fan of the uniform. I know that. I’ve already given up on treatment. Just his looks and his abilities are enough to trap you. How can you be so cruel as to refuse to follow him?!”

Gu Nianzhi said leisurely, “He’s handsome, but I’m already someone’s hardcore fan. It doesn’t matter whether ‘m loyal to him.”

“Tsk, you only know how to brag. Is there anyone more handsome than Major General He?” Xiao Zhang didn’t believe her at all. He rolled his eyes. “Okay, you lawyers can talk even if you die. It would be a miracle if I could hear the truth from your mouths.”

“You’re a child to be taught.” Gu Nianzhi patted her head and walked back to her office with a smile.

Their law firm was expanding because they had received the Lu Corporation’s contract. They had rented an office on the eleventh floor at the first opportunity. They were no longer the two-room small law firm on the second floor.

They now occupied a quarter of the territory on the eleventh floor and had around ten rooms.

Of course, Gu Nianzhi had her own office. She had been promoted to partner.

The smile on Gu Nianzhi’s face fell as she entered her office.

She sat back at her desk and stared at the three computer screens in front of her.

Xie Qingying. She hadn’t expected Xie Qingying to be here.

She didn’t stop for long before her phone rang.

Gu Nianzhi looked at it. It was a call from He Zhichu.

She picked up the call and teased, “Young Master He, I have your hardcore fan here.”

He Zhichu: “...” he wasn’t used to it.

Gu Nianzhi chuckled. “How have you been recently? What’s the matter?”

He Zhichu came back to his senses and said, “Your birthday is coming up soon. How do you want to celebrate it?”

Gu Nianzhi looked at her schedule and said lazily, “I can’t celebrate it this year. I’m going to H City. On my birthday, I’m going to attend the Lu Corporation’s celebratory banquet there.”

“Lu Corporation’s celebratory banquet?” He Zhichu frowned. “Can’t you not go?”

“No. “Gu Nianzhi objected curtly. “I have to go. There are so many celebrities and socialites. I want to watch the fun.”

He Zhichu knew Gu Nianzhi wasn’t someone who liked to watch the fun, but if she said she wanted to go, she had to go.

How would He Zhichu not let her go?

He sighed. “Then should I come to C City early to celebrate your birthday?”

“There’s no need to trouble yourself...” Gu Nianzhi said with a smile. “Actually, birthdays pass year by year. It’s okay if it doesn’t pass once in a while.”

She chatted with He Zhichu for a while and thought of Xie Qingying and Wen Shouyi, who she had just gossiped about with Xiao Zhang. She teased him with a smile, “I didn’t know that Young Master He’s personal secretary is also a socialite. Socialite Wen is really good at showing off in social occasions! I saw that her socialite ranking is even higher than prime minister Xie’s niece, Xie Qingying!”

He Zhichu didn’t care about Wen Shouyi at all and immediately said, “She’s no longer my personal secretary.”

“I know, but no one else knows.” Gu Nianzhi shrugged. “Alright, I was just saying casually. This time, she’s not among the socialites invited by the Lu Corporation. Are they well-informed and already know?”

“How would I know?” He Zhichu said as he turned on his computer and searched for news about the Lu Corporation’s celebration party.

He saw Xie Qingying’s name from the string of sparkling names and couldn’t help pausing.

After hanging up, He Zhichu sat in his office for a while. He felt a little uneasy and decided to ask He Chengjian.

“Dad, when I sent the news back, you investigated the Huo family, right?” He Zhichu sat in He Chengjian’s study and asked in a low voice.

“I did. I searched throughout the entire country for three years, but there was no Huo Xuenong or Huo Guanchen. Of course, there was no Huo Shaoheng. What’s wrong?” He Chengjian raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “Are you worried that if Huo Shaoheng is here, too, Gu Nianzhi will fall in love with him?”

He Zhichu shook his head. “I think even if Huo Shaoheng was here, Nianzhi won’t fall in love with him. After all, the Huo Shaoheng here wouldn’t be the same Huo Shaoheng as over there, even if they look exactly the same.”

If she really wanted to fall in love with someone else, she would only fall in love with him, not a substitute.

After a pause, he added, “Nianzhi is not a person who looks at faces.”

Actually, he knew that Gu Nianzhi was a person who looked at faces, but he couldn’t admit it in front of He Chengjian.

He Chengjian laughed. “Then what are you worried about? Actually, it’s good to have Huo Shaoheng here, because his doppelganger on the other side can’t come over. As long as he comes over, both of them will die. Wouldn’t that be the end of it?”

He Zhichu couldn’t tell what he was feeling. He took a deep breath and asked again, “What about the Xie Family? Have you checked the Xie family’s situation?”

He knew that Huo Shaoheng’s grandmother was Xie Ziyan, the eldest daughter of the older generation of the Xie family.

“This person...” He Chengjian frowned. “To be honest, this person isn’t easy to investigate, because even the Xie family may not know her whereabouts.”

He Zhichu’s heart tightened. “What do you mean?”

“She left the Xie family early on to join the revolution and then went to the Soviet Union. There, she happened to meet the German army invading the Soviet Union, and she hasn’t been heard from since. She hasn’t been in contact with the Xie family for so many years. They already treat her as a dead person.” He Chengjian put on his reading glasses, “I’ll show you the information I found.”

He Zhichu looked through the information and breathed a sigh of relief. “She must have died in the war.”

After all, that war had almost wiped out the entire population of that Soviet city.

..

After a few days, the day to go to H City was approaching.

Xiao Zhang wanted to buy a few formal gowns for formal occasions, but she didn’t want to take a lunch break at noon, so she dragged Gu Nianzhi along to go shopping.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to dress up too grandly. Besides, He Zhichu had already bought her gowns for all seasons, so she could just pick one that was more low-key.

However, there was a large shopping mall next to the Lu Corporation’s building. It wouldn’t be too bad to go for a stroll in the afternoon, so she could just treat it as digestion.

She chatted and laughed with Xiao Zhang as they walked out of the Lu Corporation’s building. Suddenly, a man in casual clothes walked over and said with a smile, “Miss Gu, someone’s here to see you. This way, please.”

Gu Nianzhi looked up at the direction the man had pointed in. She saw a bulletproof car parked by the side of the road. It looked ordinary, but the license plate wasn’t something an ordinary person could use.

She walked over and the brown window slowly rolled down. He Zhichu smiled at her.

Gu Nianzhi quickly turned around and said to Xiao Zhang, “My friend came to visit me from the capital. I can’t accompany you to buy a dress.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. You can help yourself, lawyer Gu.” Xiao Zhang shrunk her neck when the man in casual clothes looked at him. She felt uncomfortable and immediately ran away.

Gu Nianzhi then said to He Zhichu, “I have to work in the afternoon.”

“Take a leave.” He Zhichu raised his eyebrows. “I came specially to accompany you and celebrate your birthday in advance.”

Gu Nianzhi choked and nodded. “Then I’ll take a leave and grab my bag.”

She returned to the law firm and told Jin Dazhuang that a relative had come to visit her from the capital and she wanted to take half a day off.

Jin Dazhuang agreed and reminded her, “You’re going to H City the day after tomorrow. Have you got your plane ticket? And your passport. I’ve helped you apply for a pass. You can also go to M City. You’ll get it this afternoon.”

“Thank you, lawyer Jin.” Gu Nianzhi was very grateful to Jin Dazhuang. He had taken good care of her. “I’ll come to work tomorrow. Give me a pass.”

“Okay, go ahead. Take good care of your relatives.”Jin Dazhuang smiled and waved his hand. He lowered his head to continue reading the resumes of those who had come to apply.
