Chapter 1636: Close to You, Close to Me
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
After a while, she said resentfully, “I was just thinking if she looks like a person, not asking you to marry her. Why are you saying all this?”
He Zhichu saw that she was being serious, so he focused on thinking.
However, his impression of Luo Piaopiao was too vague. He could only remember a face that looked like a silver plate. She was quite fair, but it made her face look bigger.
“… Who do you think she looks like?” He Zhichu couldn’t think of anyone, so he had to entice her to reveal it.
Gu Nianzhi knew his trick very well. She looked at He Zhichu with a smile and tilted her head. “Really? She looks a little like your former personal secretary and teaching a.s.sistant, Ms. Wen Shouyi.”
He Zhichu frowned. “Does she look like her? Why don’t I think so…”
In his heart, Wen Shouyi actually looked more like Gu Nianzhi when she was younger.
As for Luo Piaopiao, other than her round face, he couldn’t think of any of features that looked similar to Wen Shouyi’s.
Gu Nianzhi frowned.
Was she really overthinking things?
She was a little regretful that she hadn’t taken a photo of Luo Piaopiao.
“Maybe I’m overthinking things…” Gu Nianzhi hesitated as she took a bite of the roast meat. “If there’s a chance, let them stand together and observe carefully.”
He Zhichu put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He said, “If you think they look alike, there will definitely be a chance for them to stand together for you to see in the future. However, don’t have a.s.sumptions beforehand, and don’t have a preconceived opinion. This will make your opinion subjective.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded profusely and smiled. “Got it, Professor He!”
He Zhichu’s lips curled into a slight smile, but he gave her a warning look and shook his head slightly.
He had been a professor in the other world, but he had never been a professor in this world.
Gu Nianzhi, thinking that she had really gotten carried away, looked up at the sky in embarra.s.sment…
..
What she didn’t know was that this morning, another family had moved into Gu Nianzhi’s apartment complex. It was the Deputy Chief Consul General of the Soviet Union in C City, Huo Shaoheng.
He didn’t have much luggage, and he had rented a furnished room that could be moved in with his luggage. He had spent the whole morning tidying it up with two consular staff members.
“Deputy Consul, are you really staying here?”
The consular staff members who helped him move his things were from the Soviet Union and were also his subordinates.
Huo Shaoheng walked around the room while scanning his surroundings with the surveillance camera in his hand. After making sure that there were no surveillance cameras or pinhole cameras, he turned around and said, “Yes, I have some personal matters. It’s more convenient to stay here.”
The two staff members knew that their unbelievably handsome Deputy Chief Counsel had been wooing a Huaxia Empire woman with all his might.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. “Deputy Chief Counsel, we wish you all the best!”
Huo Shaoheng looked at them and smiled. “Thank you for your kind words.”
After tidying up the room, Huo Shaoheng took the two staff members out for a meal before sending them away.
Looking at his watch, he saw that it was already noon. Gu Nianzhi should be up by now, right?
He tried to call Gu Nianzhi again last night and found that she had secretly released him from the blacklist, but she still did not pick up.
Huo Shaoheng took out his phone and dialed Gu Nianzhi’s number as he walked straight to her apartment building.
There was still no answer.
Huo Shaoheng made a few calls in a row, but they all went to voicemail.
He had no choice but to call Lu Yuan aka his uncle, Huo Guanyuan.
For safety reasons, they would still call each other “Peter” and “President Lu” for the time being.
Lu Yuan heard his phone ring and took a look. Seeing that it was Huo Shaoheng’s number, he immediately picked it up and asked, “Mr. Peter, what’s the matter?”
Huo Shaoheng leaned against the mahogany door at the bottom of the apartment building and looked at the white snow in front of him. He said, “President Lu, is Nianzhi home?”
Lu Yuan laughed. “You want to find Nianzhi? Unfortunately, she’s not home.”
“It’s so snowy, so where can she go? Did Lu Jin accompany her?” Huo Shaoheng frowned slightly, and his unbelievably handsome face revealed a look of surprise.
“Hahahaha, Lu Jin? Do you think he’s that stubborn? Of course not. It was Young Master He who took Nianzhi to Xiangshan to admire the snow.” Lu Yuan deliberately explained in detail, “You know Xiangshan, right? Xiangshan here has a plum garden. When it snows in winter, the plum blossoms are covered in snow. It’s indeed very beautiful.”
She had actually gone to admire the snow, and she was with He Zhichu.
Huo Shaoheng’s expression darkened. “When I came here, I saw that there was still a lot of snow on the road. Do you guys feel at ease letting her go out by car?”
“There’s no need to take a car. Young Master He flew a helicopter over to invite her.” Lu Yuan laughed as he finished speaking. He imagined Huo Shaoheng’s expression and wished that he could turn on the video call so that he could enjoy it..
Huo Shaoheng hung up the phone and looked at the property staff sweeping the snow in front of the apartment building expressionlessly. His hands itched.
He wanted to smoke, but he couldn’t do it here because the KGB’s Ace of the Far East was a non-smoker.
People who smoked often reeked of cigarettes. As the KGB’s most mysterious spy, he couldn’t let people smell him before he even came out.
Therefore, he couldn’t smoke either.
He stood in front of Gu Nianzhi’s apartment for a while. He turned on his phone and looked at the time. It was already past two in the afternoon.
He continued to call Gu Nianzhi, but she still didn’t pick up.
Huo Shaoheng was angry and amused at the same time. He stuffed his phone into his pocket and decided to look for her.
He first went back to the Soviet Union’s consulate in C City and asked for a GAZ-3937 medium-sized jeep.
This was an off-road jeep from the Soviet Armed Forces. It could be said to be a light armored vehicle.
It could be used as a crawler to cross trenches, or it could be used as a boat to drive on the water, just like an amphibious vehicle.
The appearance of this jeep was very similar to the Hummer of the United States, but it was taller, stronger, and st.u.r.dier than the Hummer.
It was especially suitable for traveling in heavy snow. In the Soviet Union, it was often equipped for the ground forces in Siberia.
Huo Shaoheng was tall and strong, so he was a perfect match for this off-road jeep, which was one roof higher than the average off-road vehicle.
He wore a soviet-style military officer’s coat and a purple military cap with fur inside and out, which accentuated his unbelievably handsome features and made him look even more domineering.
The distance from their apartment to Xiangshan wasn’t close, but it was definitely not far either.
Even though Huo Shaoheng didn’t have a helicopter, there were basically no pedestrians or vehicles on the road at this time, except for the snowplow.
He drove the GAZ-3937 as fast as lightning and arrived at the foot of Xiangshan in only twenty minutes.
He didn’t expect that he wouldn’t be able to drive up the mountain.
Because the only mountain road that had been cleared of snow at the foot of the mountain was actually blocked. It was said that there was an important activity on the mountain and that they had to clear the area to ensure smooth traffic on the mountain.
A few young men and women also stopped at the intersection in their off-road cars.
A woman with a round face and fair skin complained, “We just came down from above. In just a short while, why are you not allowing us to go up now?”
This woman was Luo Piaopiao, who had left with Qin Haoshan.
The person beside her, who was wearing a down jacket and wished he could wrap himself into a ball, was her second brother, Luo Yaozu.
