Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1704
Chapter 1704: Lowering My Style
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Huo Shaoheng came to the kitchen and saw Gu Nianzhi rinsing the cherry tomatoes. He walked over naturally and took the fruit basket from her.
Gu Nianzhi was immersed in her own thoughts and almost didn’t notice that someone had come in.
Huo Shaoheng stood beside her and started washing the fruit. Only then did she notice him.
Gu Nianzhi quickly turned around to take a look. Seeing that Lu Jin had not followed her in, she quickly whispered, “Do you also think that my father spoke strangely just now?”
Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly. His voice was even lower than Gu Nianzhi’s. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on him.”
Gu Nianzhi was immediately relieved.
She had absolute trust in Huo Shaoheng’s ability. If Huo Shaoheng said that he would keep an eye on Lu Jin, then Lu Jin would definitely be fine.
She relaxed and chatted happily with Huo Shaoheng. After washing the fruit, she placed it in the Jade Bowl and returned to the living room with him.
On the large television screen hanging on the wall of the living room, the camera had shifted away from Ishihara Baisan to another person.
This person was also speaking with confidence.
“Eh? Mr. Zheng Yonghao, the Huaxia Regional Executive Officer of the Bimai Foundation?”Gu Nianzhi glanced at him curiously.
He had been introduced by the female host earlier.
Zheng Yonghao appeared to be in his forties. He was about 1.7 meters tall and looked a little greasy.
He was so fat that his belly was sticking out. He wore a suit that fit him well, making him look even fatter.
He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He had rather thick lips, and liked to move when he spoke.
He was in high spirits as he said, “Our Bimai Foundation is the world’s largest charitable foundation. We just signed a contract with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to cooperate in the clinical trials of genetic drugs. Mr. Ishihara Baisan is the chief scientist and person-in-charge of this project.”
It took a very period of time from developing a new drug to it being put into use.
There were three stages of clinical trials in the later stages, each of which was larger than the last. The time needed to develop a new drug was longer than the last, so the development of a new drug was not easy.
If Ishihara Baisan had not been in charge of the project, Gu Nianzhi would have clapped her hands in approval.
Unfortunately, she just did not like Ishihara Baisan.
Huo Shaoheng did not want his preconceived opinions to affect his judgment. However, Nianzhi was not that “Fair and objective.”.
Gu Nianzhi could not stand the fact that this person was supporting Qin Yaoguang.
Gu Nianzhi placed the jade fruit bowl on the coffee table in front of the sofa and said to Lu Jin, who was watching the television attentively, “Dad, do you want some fruit?”
Lu Jin came back to his senses and nodded. He slowly took out a small and exquisite cherry tomato from the jade fruit bowl and started chewing.
The sweet and sour taste filled his mouth. It was too tasty to stop eating.
Lu Jin swallowed and took a sip of water from his glass. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and said disdainfully, “Do people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have any brains? They actually let foreign NGOs come to our country to conduct drug trials.”
Gu Nianzhi blinked and said curiously, “… but isn’t it normal for everyone to share what they have and what they don’t have in the Global Division of Labor? What are the benefits of being in seclusion?”
Lu Jin glanced at her, he explained patiently, “Of course it’s extreme to be in seclusion, but if you want to share what you have and what you don’t have, have these organizations, which come to our country to conduct drug trials, handed over the new drug formula and shared it with the Chinese Academy of Sciences? If they haven’t, then they shouldn’t mention “sharing what you have and what you don’t have”.”
Gu Nianzhi, “…”
“But the new drug formula should have a patent, right? Why would they casually share it with others?”Gu Nianzhi asked, puzzled.
“That’s right, why would they just casually share it with others… but they want to conduct drug trials in our country. Do you trust them without the formula?”
Lu Jin rolled his eyes unceremoniously. “And even if they do, I don’t believe that the formula is complete. These foreign NGOs are used to hiding their true motives, so how would they tell you the truth? It’s too naive to believe them.”
Gu Nianzhi didn’t know anything about this, so she chose to believe Lu Jin.
Gu nianzhi smiled and said, “Ishihara Baisan praised Qin Yaoguang so much just now. I wonder if he knows about you, father? You’re ten thousand times stronger than Qin Yaoguang!”
“Who wants someone like him to know about me?”Lu Jin laughed and shook his head. “You’re bringing down my style.”
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but laughed. She almost spat out the water she had just drank.
However, she still choked and started coughing.
Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng both took a tissue and handed it over to her.
Gu Nianzhi looked down and saw that both hands were doing the same thing. She was in such a good mood that she was like a begonia under the spring sun, blooming to the extreme.
She smiled and took the tissues handed over from both sides. “Thank you, father. Thank you, Mr. Peter.”
Lu Jin glared at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng did not lower himself to Lu Jin’s level. He smiled and retracted his hand. “You’re welcome.”
At that moment, the greasy middle-aged man on the television, Zheng Yonghao, had finished his speech and the performance had begun again.
Gu Nianzhi was no longer interested.
She really wanted to investigate this Ishihara Baisan.
She quietly took out her phone and started searching.
Huo Shaoheng’s attention was half on Gu Nianzhi and the other half on Lu Jin.
Lu Jin, on the other hand, had been watching the television the whole time and seemed very interested.
Gu Nianzhi searched around but did not find anything wrong with Ishihara Baisan.
His resume was completely different from Ishihara Baisan’s, and his research direction was also different.
Was she really overthinking?
..
Time flew by, and soon it was the time for the New Year’s Eve Bell to ring.
The song “Unforgettable Tonight” played, bringing people back to the atmosphere of decades ago.
Gu Nianzhi put down her phone and smiled as she hugged Lu Jin’s arm. She said loudly to him, “Happy New Year, daddy!”
Lu Jin seemed shocked, but he quickly came back to his senses. He wrapped his other arm around Gu Nianzhi and said with a smile, “Happy New Year, Nianzhi!”
Huo shaoheng also said, “Happy New Year, Uncle Lu. Happy New Year, Nianzhi.”
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at him and blinked. “Happy New Year, Mr. Peter.”
Lu Jin stood up and stretched. “Okay, there’s no need to watch anymore. Everyone, rest early.”
He waved at Gu Nianzhi and said tiredly.
Gu nianzhi quickly said, “Dad, you should go to bed early too.”
Lu Jin turned to leave the living room, but stopped at the door. He turned around with a frown. “Mr. Peter, aren’t you leaving?”
Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to stand up as well. He gave Gu Nianzhi a long look and said,”… Good Night.”
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help blushing.
Fortunately, the living room was far away from the main door, or Lu Jin would have noticed something was wrong.
“Good night,”Gu Nianzhi said in a low voice as well, her heart overflowing with happiness.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her crystal clear face, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, suppressing his desire to kiss her. He said hoarsely, “I’ll wake you Up tomorrow morning and greet you with good morning.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you…”Gu Nianzhi’s lips barely moved and her voice was so soft that her answer could barely be heard.
However, Huo Shaoheng had trained his hearing to be very sharp, and he could read lips. Even if he couldn’t hear them, he knew what Gu Nianzhi was talking about.
He was agitated, but it wasn’t obvious on the surface.
“Hey! Why aren’t you leaving yet? ! Are you dawdling to wait until next year’s New Year?”Lu Jin shouted unceremoniously at the door.
Huo Shaoheng nodded at Gu Nianzhi and strode out of the living room.
When he reached the door, huo shaoheng said, “Uncle Lu, I’m going to stay at President Lu’s place for the night.”
Lu Jin nodded and said rudely, “You can stay anywhere, as long as you’re not with my girl.”
Huo Shaoheng, “…”
After Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng had left, Gu Nianzhi sat on the sofa alone for a while to calm herself down before going to sleep in the bedroom.
It was just past midnight, and the sound of firecrackers could still be heard outside.
The whole city was immersed in the atmosphere of welcoming the new and saying goodbye to the old.
Just then, the door to Lu Jin’s suite opened.
Lu Jin was wearing a dark gray, matte coat, a cap on his head, and night-vision goggles with far-infrared and satellite transmission functions. He walked out of the room.
He walked to Gu Nianzhi’s door and touched it fondly. He left a kiss on her door before turning to leave and entering the elevator.
The elevator door had just closed when the door to Lu Yuan’s suite opened, and Huo Shaoheng walked out as well.
His face had undergone a complete makeover, so that his original appearance could not be seen at all. He looked like a fierce fighter with broad shoulders, a broad back, and strong long legs.
He also had a thick beard on his face, and a pair of sunglasses with far-infrared and night vision on the bridge of his nose.
He raised his hand to look at his watch, and a red dot was clearly displayed on it. It was Lu Jin’s coordinates.
He could see that the red dot was approaching the garage.
Huo Shaoheng strode into the elevator and followed after Lu Jin.
..
At that moment, not far from their apartment complex, a group of well-dressed people walked out of the television station’s building.
The Spring Festival Gala was over, and the people attending the gala were all still very excited.
The Huaxia Regional Executive of the BIMAI Foundation, Zheng Yonghao, whispered to Ishihara Baisan, “Mr. Ishihara, today is the Spring Festival Gala, and it’s a day of celebration. Why did you bring up Mrs. Qin Yaoguang at such a time?”
“Can’t I just show my condolences? You Chinese people have no concept of law and order. She hasn’t been convicted. She’s just a suspect. This is her right,”Ishihara Baisan said disapprovingly as he got into the car.
