Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1224
Chapter 1224: Impressive Circle of Friends
The three of them happily took several photos, then huddled together to choose the best one and even asked Huo Shaoheng to send it to their phones using Gu Nianzhi’s phone.
“Cereus, it’s so nice to meet you. How many days are you staying in Moscow for? I can take you out when I have time.” The middle-aged driver enthusiastically suggested as he opened his red envelope and found “8.88 RMB.” It was more than two yuan more than Vladimir’s red envelope, so his mood instantly improved.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng and said with a smile, “I will be busy, since I need to accompany the Chief.”
She blinked at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng, “…”
“Oh! Understood! Understood!” The middle-aged driver nodded repeatedly, “Then I won’t get in your way. Anyway, you have my phone number, and QQ Pay and social media accounts. Send me a message if you need anything.”
“Okay! Let’s connect online if you ever need anything.” Gu Nianzhi waved to him, “I just added you on WeChat, hurry up and accept it! I will read your posts and like them!”
When Gu Nianzhi added the two mobile numbers to her phone just now, she realized that they both had WeChat and immediately added them as friends.
Adding a WeChat ID was much easier than adding a QQ Pay account. She could add it as long as she had the phone number.
Of course, most requests still required the person’s acceptance.
The middle-aged driver quickly accepted her request and their relationship became even closer.
Vladimir, the second in command of the KGB overheard this and quietly looked at his phone. He saw that Gu Nianzhi had also sent him a friend request on WeChat, so he laughed and tapped “accept.”
Huo Shaoheng glanced quietly at Vladimir’s WeChat account, but the other man immediately noticed, turned over his phone and put it back in his pocket. He smiled and said to Huo Shaoheng, “Cereus and I can be friends, but you can’t add me.”
Huo Shaoheng, “…”
After taking the photo and liking it on the app, the middle-aged driver gestured for them to get into the car and continue to drive.
The car drove in between the fortified red wall and the pointed tower, then stopped directly in front of a small, inconspicuous door beside the main entrance of the Kremlin.
Vladimir got out of the car first. He opened the door for Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi, the smile wiped from his face as he said solemnly, “Our President is waiting for your arrival.”
When Huo Shaoheng knew the car was heading in the direction of the Kremlin, he was already mentally prepared for this.
The Kremlin was the office building of the President of Russia.
If someone wanted to see him and was referred to as an “important person” by Vladimir, the second-in-commander of the KGB, then Huo Shaoheng couldn’t think of anyone else besides the President.
But he was still slightly shocked when Vladimir personally confirmed his guess.
Of course, he was always calm on the surface and even his gaze was controlled so properly that no one could notice any turbulence in his mood.
Although Vladimir appeared carefree, he was very detail oriented despite his rough hewn looks. He was accustomed to using this look to confuse others into letting down their guard.
After all, he was the second in command of the KGB. It would be impossible for him to climb to this position without a clever mind.
He was even more impressed that Huo Shaoheng remained so calm despite his relatively young age. He waved him forward, “Please come this way.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded and followed him through the small door.
Gu Nianzhi followed closely behind Huo Shaoheng.
As soon as they entered the small door, there was a small winding path paved with colorful stones.
Both sides of the trail were filled with beautifully shaped and colorful flower beds.
They were in the most beautiful season of the year in Moscow, so the flowers bloomed and bees surrounded the butterflies.
Gu Nianzhi kept her head down, so her eyes were involuntarily attracted by the colorful stone patterns on the winding path.
However, she only looked at the pattern for a while before feeling dizzy and quickly looking away.
Huo Shaoheng kept his eyes straight ahead as he followed Vladimir into the presidential office building.
Guards with loaded guns waited at the door.
As soon as Vladimir walked over, these guards immediately raised their right arms to salute him with their feet snapped together and loudly said, “Смирно! салют!” (Stand at attention! Salute!)
Vladimir nodded and led Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi through the door of the office building.
Security within the presidential office building was even tighter.
After Gu Nianzhi entered the building, she was taken by a Russian female soldier and sat on a couch in the reception area.
Vladimir was calling the secretary of the president to arrange for Huo Shaoheng to go in to see the president.
The hall was completely silent. Vladimir went to a small room on the side of the hall and closed the door before making the phone call.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t dare to look around too much and was contemplating whether or not she should take out the phone and play some games, when she heard a woman’s melodic laughter suddenly come down the stairs to the second floor.
Some people spoke Russian very quickly, the sounds reminiscent of frying beans.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t understand Russian, but she was entranced by the woman’s voice.
The voice was approaching closer and closer and seemed to have already come down from the upper floor. Gu Nianzhi caught a glimpse of the Russian female soldier staring at the stairs, so she hurriedly turned her head and looked over as well.
She saw a plump, short Russian young woman coming down from the second floor.
She had an alluring gait as she walked, so it was obvious she trained professionally as a dancer. Her neck was raised up forty-five degrees and it seemed that she never forgot to pose even when she went down the stairs.
She turned a corner and stopped to say a word upstairs before a man replied from upstairs.
The woman immediately waved her hand and let out a peal of laughter that sounded like silver bells, before turning around.
Gu Nianzhi saw the front of her face. It was indeed very beautiful–a very glamorous face belonging to a typical Slavic beauty. She had large and deep set eyes, a tall nose, a slightly big mouth, but with very full lips that were painted orange red. Her lipstick perfectly matched with her leopard-print bodysuit.
She was just like an enchanting leopard lady.
Although she was not very tall, she had good proportions and her legs are relatively long, though a little stout. She had obviously been training.
The woman walked out of the presidential office building like a gust of wind.
Gu Nianzhi’s gaze didn’t retract before she heard someone speaking by the stairs. The voice belonged to the man who had just spoken to the leopard lady just now, but this time he did not speak Russian. Instead, he spoke English with a Russian accent.
“Are you Major General Huo from the Huaxia Empire? Hello, I am Pushin.” The man offered his hand to Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi trembled when she heard this.
So this man was the President of Russia?!
The leopard lady just now…
She may have witnessed an incredible secret!
Gu Nianzhi quickly turned her head away and nervously looked at the coffee table in front of her.
After a while, she could no longer hear the voices once Huo Shaoheng and the others went upstairs. Gu Nianzhi quietly looked at the Russian female soldier who accompanied her and quietly asked in English, “Do you speak English?”
As a person who would die if she doesn’t gossip, Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but try to get some information…
The female soldier withdrew her envious eyes from the back of the leopard lady who had just left through the door.
“Yes, I do.” She smiled and nodded.
“That’s great.” Gu Nianzhi sat up straight and waved to the female soldier, “Come sit down and talk to me. By the way, do you use QQ Waller? What’s your account number? I’ll send you a red envelope to thank you for your hard work today. ”
“Red envelope?!” The female soldier’s eyes lit up and quickly took out her phone, “I have a QQ Waller account! I just started using it, so I don’t know how to use many functions at all. But I know how to use red envelopes!”
Gu Nianzhi smiled slightly as she tapped her finger and quickly scanned friends codes with the female soldier to add her as a friend. Then she offered a red envelope and sent a “66.66RMB.”
The Russian female soldier grinned widely when she saw such a large red envelope and she said, “Oh! I have only gotten a few kopeyki when I tried opening red envelopes before! I have never received such a big red envelope!”
One RMB exchanged for 8.6 rubles, so Gu Nianzhi sent her a red envelope of 66.66 RMB which was worth over five hundred rubles. This was a small, random fortune.
She couldn’t help being more affectionate towards Gu Nianzhi.
After the two got acquainted, Gu Nianzhi asked quietly, “Who was that girl just now? She is so beautiful!”
“Don’t you know about her?” The Russian female soldier also appeared like she was eager to share gossip with others. She did not dare to tell these things to her family or her colleagues in the army, but Gu Nianzhi was a foreign tourist, so it should be fine to tell her.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and asked with great interest, “I think she came from upstairs. Is she a staff member of your president?”
“Yeah right! She’s not!” The Russian female soldier lowered her voice and leaned into Gu Nianzhi’s ear, “She is a world-famous gymnastics champion! But is now our president’s girlfriend…”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened, “Doesn’t your president have a wife?!”
“They divorced a long time ago.” The Russian female soldier quickly put her finger to her lips, “Don’t tell anyone… They have a son together, but have not announced it to the public yet.”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart thumped wildly.
She nodded stiffly, “Well, I will definitely not tell anyone.”
…
In the office of the Russian president, Huo Shaoheng was standing at attention and saluting the extremely powerful looking Russian president.
Russian President Pushin was only 1.7 meters tall, but his aura made him appear 2.8 meters tall. This was one meter taller than the second-in-command of the KGB, Vladimir.
Pushin did not appear any weaker when standing in front of the 1.8 meter tall Huo Shaoheng.
Folding his hands behind his back, he looked at Huo Shaoheng and said with a smile, “I was your age when I first stepped into politics.”
Huo Shaoheng immediately lowered his head and replied, “Mr. President is too kind, I am just an insignificant soldier and not worthy of being compared with the President.”
“You are humble.” Pushin smiled and invited him to sit down. “I heard that you came over a week ago. I wanted to see you, but I didn’t expect you to leave again.”
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips, his eyes quickly flickering over Vladimir’s face as he stood behind Pushin.
When the hairy Vladimir remained silent, his entire face was buried within his beard and his expression was not visible at all.
Upon seeing this situation, Vladimir gave him an excuse, “Our president heard that you killed Li Dexi and asked to meet you specially.”
Huo Shaoheng smiled and replied noncommittally, “I really wasn’t the one to kill Li Dexi. I cannot take this credit with good conscience.”
He did not do it himself, since Bai Shuang killed him first.
“Oh? Who would be powerful enough to kill Li Dexi?” The Russian president started his career with the KGB and still attached great importance to the intelligence from various countries.
“It was a woman, but both Li Dexi and she perished together.” Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a while before revealing a little bit about Bai Shuang. Of course, he didn’t mention Bai Shuang’s name, but just spoke about her contribution to the country.
“Oh? What a pity, what a pity.” Pushin and Vladimir shook their heads together to express regret.
After asking about this, Pushin expressed that he was ready for Huo Shaoheng to leave. He stood up and said, “The day after tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Annual Warrior Competition, we will meet again at that time.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded, said with a smile, “I’m just here for the opening ceremony.”
…
After meeting the Russian president, Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi were taken by Vladimir to a four-star hotel next to the military camp where their delegation was located.
Now that the Huaxia Imperial Special Forces Delegation had its own official instructors, it is no longer appropriate for Huo Shaoheng, to live and enter the military camp when he was just an instructor in name.
Besides, he wanted to spend more time with Gu Nianzhi and agreed to stay in the hotel.
The delegation booked two rooms for them.
Huo Shaoheng got a suite, but Gu Nianzhi’s room was a bit smaller.
She has nothing to do with Huo Shaoheng anymore, so she couldn’t openly stay in the same room as him.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t care at all and happily put down her luggage. After sending Vladimir away, she came to talk to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng was inspecting the suite to see if there was anything like pinhole cameras or secret recording equipment.
Gu Nianzhi took out her phone and sat on the sofa with a big smile, “Huo Shao, come and see my circle of friends! It’s so impressive!”
She was friends with all three–the Special Operations Forces , the KGB, and the Gestapo!
