Hello, Mr. Major General

Lu Jin quickly turned around and took out his own binoculars with a “cloud search” function to carefully look at the license plate of the car behind him.

The license plate number appeared in the binoculars’ field of vision and automatically connected to the Internet to search for the owner of the license plate.

“Eh? It’s actually…Qin Haoshan?” Lu Jin asked curiously and took out the binoculars. “Why is he following us?”

Huo Shaoheng heard that and turned to look at him. He said casually, “He should be following Nianzhi.”

It was no longer a secret that Gu Nianzhi lived in this neighborhood. The He family knew, and so did the Qin family.

Qin Haoshan was the son Qin family’s second wife, ranked fourth. He was also a famous orthopedic doctor in the Qin family’s Private Hospital.

Gu Nianzhi even knew that Qin Haoshan had a crush on Xie Qingying.

However, ever since their last conflict in Xiangxuehai, Qin Haoshan had been too embarrassed to see Gu Nianzhi again.

After that, whenever Gu Nianzhi appeared, he would avoid her.

Now that he had suddenly followed Gu Nianzhi in a car, she really didn’t know what he meant.

Gu Nianzhi also looked back and said indifferently, “Don’t worry about him. If he can, just let him follow me all the way to Xiangxuehai.”

Xiangxuehai’s entrance was heavily guarded, so even Qin Haoshan might not be able to get in.

Lu Yuan drove the car and saw that Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were not taking it seriously, so he ignored him too.

He smiled and said, “Fortunately, he gave us four VIP cards. Otherwise, Peter and I would need to worry.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, “Actually, he sent a total of eight VIP cards and asked me to invite my friends. But how could I have so many friends here? In the end, I kept four and returned the rest.”

She understood He Zhichu’s good intentions. He had deliberately given her a chance to make more friends.

Xiangxuehai’s free VIP cards could be very useful if they were used to make a friend, no one would dare to underestimate her.

Chatting while laughing, they finally arrived at Xiangxuehai which was located in the prime area of Xiangshan after an hour’s drive.

Gu Nianzhi showed her permanent VIP card and the three other cards at the entrance.

The club manager at the entrance checked the authenticity of the VIP card and let her in with a smile. He even bowed to her and said, “Miss Gu, Happy New Year.”

Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, “Is my name on the record of this card?”

The card itself did not have her name, it was different from a credit card.

“Your name is on the record.” The manager said to Gu Nianzhi respectfully, “This card can only be used by you, it can not be transferred or lent.”

In fact, there was only one permanent free VIP card in Xiangxuehai, and it was in Gu Nianzhi’s hands.

Even the club’s shareholders did not have such a card.

They had to pay for their own expenses.

All expenses charged to this card would be on He Zhichu, so it was considered an unlimited spending card for her.

Gu Nianzhi did not know the ins and outs of this.

She only thanked He Zhichu for his generosity and consideration.

The four of them drove to the parking lot of the Xiangxuehai.

A handsome valet walked over and asked politely, “Would you like me to park for you?”

Lu Yuan got out of the car and gave him the car keys and a hundred-dollar bill. Yes, sure, thank you.”

The hundred-dollar bill was a tip, and the car keys were for him to park for him.

The parking fee was actually only ten yuan, but Lu Yuan had tipped him ten times over.

The valet was overjoyed. He quickly got into the car and carefully parked Lu Yuan’s Maybach 62S in the garage.

When they entered the hall of Xiangxuehai, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng walked together. Lu Yuan and Lu Jin walked behind them.

In public, Gu Nianzhi could not be so intimate with Lu Jin.

However, Huo Shaoheng was pursuing her as Peter, so the two of them walking together in public would not arouse suspicion.

They had just walked in when Xie Qingying came up to them.

“Oh Nianzhi, you’re here.”

Xie Qingying was wearing a military-style rose-red suede dress with a girdle around the waist. Her shoulders and cuffs were decorated with leather buttons, and on her chest was a belted Victorian waistcoat. It made her breasts look bigger and her waist smaller.

She walked with a graceful gait.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and hugged her. “Cousin Xie is so beautiful today.”

Xie Qingying only had light makeup on her face, but her inner glow from the her good skin made her look even more elegant.

“Nianzhi, you’re more gorgeous.” Xie Qingying held her hand and looked at the people who were together with her.

Xie Qingying winked at Huo Shaoheng.

“Nianzhi, haven’t you say yes to Mr. Peter yet?”

“It won’t be an easy yes.” Gu Nianzhi gave Huo Shaoheng a sidelong glance with a half-smile. “He is still under assessment.”

“Try harder then, Peter.” Xie Qingying smiled and turned to look at Lu Yuan and Lu Jin.

She was more familiar with Lu Yuan, so she quickly nodded at him. “President Lu, you’re here too. What a rare guest!”

Lu Yuan smiled and said, “Lawyer Gu invited us here to have fun. I can’t say no to her. Hahahaha!”

He pointed at Lu Jin and said, “This is the major shareholder of our company. My brother, Lu Jin, is also here to join in the fun.”

Xie Qingying knew that He Zhichu had given Gu Nianzhi four VIP cards. And Gu Nianzhi had given them to Peter, and two big bosses of her partner company.

This was indeed impressive.

Xie Qingying thought that Gu Nianzhi was really smart and had a high EQ. To be able to get the big bosses here as friends, this was extraordinary.

She smiled at Gu Nianzhi and said, “Nianzhi, you’re really amazing. You even invited President Lu and Mr. Lu to be your guests.”

Xie Qingying was not familiar with Lu Jin, but she vaguely knew that the Lu Corporation was founded by Lu Yuan and Lu Jin, so she extended her hand enthusiastically, wanting to shake his hand.

Lu Jin’s hands were in his trouser pockets, and he had no intention of shaking Xie Qingying’s hand. He raised his chin, said arrogantly, “Shaking hands is very unhygienic.”

“There are about 1,500 bacteria on every square centimeter of the skin of of a hand. And your hand is relatively big, I could estimate it is of 70 square centimeters. So there are at least 105,000 bacteria on that hand of yours.”

“Shaking hands with you once will increase the probability of me getting sick.”

The corner of Xie Qingying’s eyes twitched. She withdrew her hand naturally and said, “Mr. Lu, you are really interesting. You even know how many bacteria are on my hand.”

“This is basic knowledge of health and physiology. You don’t know about it ? Maybe you weren’t paying attention in school.” Lu Jin continued to rebuke Xie Qingying rudely.

Huo Shaoheng did not understand the reason of Lu Jin attacking Xie Qingying, it was as if he had taken a wrong medicine.

However, Xie Qingying still smiled in a good mood, she did not refute. “Yes, I might have been distracted. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Lu. With that knowledge, I can show off in front of my friends in the future.”

“How ignorant are you to show off on all this basic knowledge?” Lu Jin was completely unapologetic, and the disdain on his face was even more obvious.

Xie Qingying was a little embarrassed now.

Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi, then motioned to Xie Qingying.

Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to smooth things over. She took Xie Qingying’s hand and smiled. “Cousin Xie, we haven’t had lunch yet. Is there anything delicious here today? Show us! ”

Lu Jin only stopped criticizing Xie Qingying when Gu Nianzhi said she was hungry and followed her to the dining hall without saying a word.

Huo Shaoheng deliberately stayed behind and walked with Lu Yuan. He asked softly, “What’s going on?”

He glanced at Lu Jin’s back.

Lu Yuan took out his phone and sent him a text message: [Lu Jin is unhappy with Xie Qingying’s cold treatment of Nianzhi in the past. He’s taking revenge on behalf of her daughter.]

Huo Shaoheng was speechless.

[When did this happen?] He replied on his phone.

[It’s been a month or two, just before you arrived.]

[I see.]

Huo Shaoheng shook his head and put his phone away.

Xie Qingying led Gu Nianzhi to the dining hall and brought her to the best seats in the hall.

They were exactly for four people. The seats were facing the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the window was the scenic view of Fragrant Hill. There was also a greenhouse in front of the window with flowers of all colors blooming in the winter.

It was almost eleven o’clock. It was a little early to have lunch elsewhere, but it was just the right timing to have it in Xiangxuehai.

The dining time here was relatively long.

Most people would start eating at eleven o’clock to about two o’clock in the afternoon.

The dining hall was almost full. Waiters in black vests, white shirts and bow ties were holding the menu and inviting the customers to order.

At that moment, Xie Qingying received a call from the manager at the entrance.

“Miss Xie, there’s a Mr. Qin here who says he’s your friend. Would you like to let him in?”

Xie Qingying quickly said to Gu nianzhi, “I have to take this call. Excuse me for a moment.”

She took her phone and walked to a leeward area at the entrance. She asked, “What’s his name?”

“Qin Haoshan.”

Xie Qingying frowned, thinking about how Qin Haoshan and Gu Nianzhi had gotten into a big fight that day. She had also said that she wouldn’t appear anywhere Qin Haoshan was around.

She hadn’t expected Qin Haoshan to be here.

“Tell him to visit next time if there’s nothing important,” Xie Qingying said tactfully. “We are having a full house today.”

Qin Haoshan heard Xie Qingying’s refusal at the entrance. He quickly grabbed the landline phone from the club manager and said, “Miss Xie, I know it was my fault last time. I came here just to apologize to you.”

“No need. You didn’t offend me,” Xie Qingying said disapprovingly. “I’m very busy. I’ll hang up now.”

Qin Haoshan gritted his teeth and said, “Miss Xie, don’t go too far. I have some photos here. You might want to take a look.”
