Hello, Mr. Major General

Gu Nianzhi slumped into the white computer chair in her bedroom. She felt like she was about to collapse.

It was as if she had just come out of a tough battle. Her state of mind was erratic, and even the focus of her eyes was blurry.

This time, she had been in charge from the beginning to the end, and she had been dealing with countless internet trolls by herself.

Although it was no more difficult than the internal network of the German Gestapo, it was much more intense.

To Gu Nianzhi, dealing with people was always more tiring than dealing with computers.

She had just closed her eyes to clear her mind and rest for a while when her phone rang.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t even open her eyes. She fumbled for her phone and nonchalantly swiped at the screen.

The call went through. She put it to her ear and softly said, “Hello? ”

It was He Zhichu calling.

He heard that Gu Nianzhi’s voice a little tired. His heart ached as he asked, ” … Tired?”

“Is it Professor He?” Gu Nianzhi still had her eyes closed as she leaned back against her computer chair. “Yes, I’m tired. I want to sleep.”

He Zhichu had been watching the entire situation today. He was very pleased that Gu Nianzhi had single-handedly turned the tide of the situation. She had even ruthlessly dealt with the other party’s internal aid and pulled out the prosecutor.

“You can rest if you’re tired.” He Zhichu didn’t say anything further. Before he hung up the phone, he complimented Gu Nianzhi, “You’ve done well. I’m proud of you. ”

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips into a smile and said lazily, “Thank you, Professor He. I’ve finally lived up to your expectations.”

He Zhichu hoped that Gu Nianzhi could have a good rest. He hung up the phone quickly and checked on how the case against the “Angel in the World” foundation in Japan was progressing.

The day before the verdict had been announced, the presiding judge had suddenly died, and the Japanese had temporarily shelved the case on the grounds that the judge had been reappointed.

He Zhichu didN’t want to see them drag things out on purpose.

He called the Japanese again, but their answer was polite as usual: Please wait patiently.

Wait my foot!

He Zhichu’s face darkened as he dialed the number of the South American side.

The He family had great influence in South America and was known as the “Godfather of South America”.

It seemed that Japan really didn’t take him seriously.

He Zhichu had never been looked down upon like that before.

After the call was connected, He Zhichu said to his men in Spanish, “How are things in Brazil? Make the Japanese there lose some money.”

In South America, Brazil was the country with the most Japanese people. The Japanese government had been operating in Brazil for many years and had a comprehensive intelligence chain and station.

If they wanted to stop them from returning the Gu family’s assets, they would have to “Rob Peter to pay Paul”.

He Zhichu’s cold and aloof face was expressionless. His sparkling almond-shaped eyes twinkled. With a flip of the wrist, he had dealt a heavy blow to Japan’s interests in Brazil.

..

Gu Nianzhi quietly leaned back in her computer chair and rested for a while.

Although her body was tired, her mind was exceptionally excited.

She actually couldn’t fall asleep, so she simply sat there and let her body and brain rest for a while.

Sitting alone like that, she suddenly felt that this room was too empty and quiet, so she felt very lonely.

She was a person who loved bustling liveliness, and netizens would never be lonely online.

However, after she went offline and was alone, her mood would be very low.

How good would it be if someone came to accompany her at this time?

If she had a home, she would go home and sit with her parents while chatting and laughing. Then, they would prepare dinner together. The exhaustion from earlier would surely be swept away, right?

Gu Nianzhi sighed softly.

At this moment, she heard the doorbell ring.

Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes and looked at her watch in confusion.

It was already past six in the afternoon.

Who would come at this hour?

She had been working hard in front of her computer all day and hadn’t eaten anything. She had only drunk some milk.

Her stomach was growling with hunger, but she didn’t want to move. She would rather stay hungry.

The doorbell rang, but she couldn’t be bothered to open the door. She decided to pretend that she wasn’t at home.

If that person really wanted to find her, he would probably call her.

Gu Nianzhi thought about it and closed her eyes in relief, then continued to take a nap.

After a while, the doorbell stopped ringing.

Had that person left?

Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes. She held the armrest of her computer chair with one hand and the table in front of her with the other. She was going to stand up and go to the kitchen to find something to eat, then take a shower and get ready for bed.

Just then, she heard a click from the living room outside. The door opened.

Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat.

That person actually had her house key? !

Could it be…

She turned around abruptly and saw that the person was already striding over from the living room.

From the half-opened bedroom door, she saw a tall and handsome figure dressed in a military green outfit. He had already walked to the bedroom door.

His figure was as straight as a long sword pointing to the sky.

It was Huo Shaoheng.

It was actually Huo Shaoheng.

Gu Nianzhi immediately stood up from her computer chair and watched in surprise as Huo Shaoheng pushed the door open and entered.

Huo Shaoheng’s expression was the same as usual. He said calmly, “I came to see you. Are you okay?”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes became watery as she nodded vigorously. “I’m not okay.”

Huo Shaoheng’s lips curled up. She was still acting coquettishly, so she should be fine.

He opened his arms to Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t go over. She whispered, ” … I’m too tired to walk.”

Huo Shaoheng’s heart ached a little, but he remained impassive. He walked over to her and picked her up. “Tired? Or hungry?”

Gu Nianzhi took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his neck and lean into his arms. She said pitifully, “Both. Tired and hungry.”

Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”

He knew that when she argued with netizens online, she would be so engrossed that she wouldn’t eat or drink.

Huo Shaoheng lowered his head and kissed her. “Can you move? I’ll take you out to eat. ”

Gu Nianzhi shook her head. “I can’t move. I don’t want to go out to eat.”

“Then go to bed and rest for a while. I’ll make you something to eat.” Huo Shaoheng half-carried her and walked to the bedside.

Gu Nianzhi beamed and hugged Huo Shaoheng’s neck while rubbing against it. “I want to eat your egg fried rice. It’s no trouble. It’s a very simple dish. Just a little shrimp, green beans, ham and sausage, mushroom, and scrambled eggs will do.”

Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”

How could that be called simple?

For a truly simple egg fried rice, there would only be two ingredients, and they would be eggs and rice.

Huo Shaoheng asked airily, “Do you have shrimp, green beans, diced ham and mushrooms at home?”

Perhaps she didn’t even have eggs.

Gu Nianzhi seemed to have remembered something and muttered, ” … I don’t have eggs and rice at home either.”

So how was he supposed to make egg-fried rice?

Conjure it?

At a loss for words, Huo Shaoheng shook his head. He brought Gu Nianzhi to her bed and let her lie down. He took out his phone and ordered food.

He found a familiar restaurant. It only sold regular customers and only sold four tables of food a day.

People had to make a reservation a month in advance to eat there.

However, Huo Shaoheng was one of the few customers who didn’t need to make a reservation.

That was because that private restaurant was funded by investments from his grandmother, Xie Ziyan.

The chef of the restaurant used to be his grandmother’s chef. Later, he went out and opened a private restaurant that became famous in the imperial capital.

Even the way it was run was suggested by his grandmother, Xie Ziyan.

Huo Shaoheng inherited most of Xie Ziyan’s assets, and also the shares in the private restaurant.

Since the major shareholder was calling to order takeout, although the private restaurant never did takeout business, it couldn’t refuse Huo Shaoheng.

After ordering dinner, Huo Shaoheng turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. “Sleep for a while. It’ll probably be delivered in half an hour.”

He rarely ordered food from that private restaurant.

This time, it was because Gu Nianzhi wanted to eat egg fried rice, and this private restaurant had a specialty: egg fried rice.

Making an ordinary home-cooked dish like egg fried rice was the best way to test a chef’s culinary skills.

In addition to egg fried rice, he also ordered Mantis Shrimp, braised meat, stir-fried meat, bone broth soup, and crab noodles. He also ordered a medium-rare steak for himself.

Gu Nianzhi laid on the bed and smiled as she pulled at Huo Shaoheng’s hand. “Major General Huo, you should come too. I can’t fall asleep when I’m alone. ”

Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”

“You can’t fall asleep if there’s two people.”

Gu Nianzhi propped her head up with her hand and laid sideways on the bed. “How can that be? I’ll fall asleep after you coax me to sleep.”

Huo Shaoheng sat down on the side of the bed and pulled over a thin blanket to cover her. “If you want to sleep, then go to sleep. If you dawdle any longer, the food will be delivered later and you won’t be able to sleep.”

“Actually, I’m not sleepy.” Gu Nianzhi was in high spirits, but her body was exhausted and shhe was a little tired.

However, when she saw Huo Shaoheng sitting on her bed in his summer uniform and the windbreaker buckle tightly fastened around his neck, she had the urge to devour him.

She reached out to fiddle with his collar and muttered, ” … Aren’t you hot? Why are you dressed so neatly?”

Huo Shaoheng held her hand and patiently warned her, “Don’t play with fire.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled coyly and looked askance at him. She deliberately pretended to misinterpret what he had just said. “What did you say? Don’t play with fire? — Did I play with you?”
