Chapter 2022: Chapter 2022 the old house was on fire (4)(the first one asked for a recommendation ticket)
Unfortunately, Dou Aiyan did not have the chance to find out who the big boss was.
The other side quickly hung up and did not call again.
Guo Huining was also nervous for a few days. She found several reasons to call Huo Guanchen, but she could not call Huo Guanchen. It was all answered by his personal secretary. She kept telling her that the chief was very busy recently and asked her to bear with him, he said that he would go back to see grandfather Huo after he was done with his work.
However, it sounded like an excuse.
Guo Huining did not believe a word of it.
She did not understand why Huo Guanchen did not take the final step with her even though he clearly had feelings for her?
She was very regretful now. She should have drugged him more before the candlelit dinner that night!
Such an opportunity would probably be hard to come by again..

Just when she could not find Huo Guanchen and was almost in despair, someone suddenly called her.
“… Miss Guo? I’m Dou Aiyan’s friend,”the person said straightforwardly.
When Guo Huining heard the voice, she immediately recognized that it was the person who had used a voice changer to call Dou Aiyan!
Although she had only heard it once by accident, the voice was too special, and her memory was not bad, so she had always remembered it firmly.
However, although she recognized it, she also knew that she could not reveal it.
Therefore, she pretended not to recognize it and said indifferently, “h.e.l.lo, May I know who you are? I haven’t contacted Aiyan for a while.”
The person on the other side seemed to laugh. It was obvious that he was an old man. Although he used a voice changer, the basic sound quality was difficult to change.
If Guo Huining had the software to a.n.a.lyze the sound frequency, she could even restore the original sound of the voice changer.
Of course, to Guo Huining, she did not care whether the other party was a man or a woman. She just wanted the other party to help her achieve her wish.
The other party seemed to be quite satisfied with her reaction. He said very politely, “I’m a friend of Dou aiyan. You can call me uncle Dong.”
Guo Huining:”…”
She was not used to calling strangers “Uncle”.
She held the phone and said vaguely, “Mr. Dong, what do you want to talk to me about?”
“I heard from Aiyan that something good is going to happen between you and general Huo?”
She was really asking for trouble.
Guo Huining’s face darkened. “Are you teasing me? If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
“Don’t be so anxious.”This person laughed confidently. “You don’t even understand the principle that you can’t eat hot porridge if you’re anxious.”
Guo Huining was choked by his words. She braced herself and said, “How am I anxious? Don’t say half and hide half. If you have something to say, just say it. Who knows what you mean by rambling?”
“Okay, I’m helping you out of kindness for Aiyan’s sake.”
Guo Huining held her arm and said calmly, “You won’t help me for free. Do you think I’m a child who doesn’t know anything?”
“… Well, we do business for money, of course. If you can marry General Huo, of course we’ll need your help in the future.”
Hearing that the other party was seeking wealth, Guo Huining put down her arms and relaxed.
She sat on the sofa and said with a smile, “To do business, you need to build a connection between heaven and earth. What kind of business do you do?”
The other party also smiled, “Miss Guo is a sensible person and also a smart person. A business that needs to build a connection between heaven and earth is certainly not an ordinary business, and this kind of business is also extraordinarily profitable.”
“… I can’t guarantee that.”Guo huining smiled faintly. “If it affects Guanchen’s career, I will only help you if I take the wrong medicine.”
Why would she use Huo Guanchen’s future to make a deal?
Then why did she go through so much trouble to marry him?
To be a commoner with him?
The other party hurriedly explained, “Miss Guo, you can rest a.s.sured that we will absolutely not do anything illegal. In fact, we will only help you with a lift of our hands. It Won’t take us much effort.”
“Oh? Then how are you going to help me?”Guo huining probed, “I want to make it clear in advance that I have no money, no job, and no status. I Can’t help you with anything.”
“Miss Guo, you are too modest. With your influence, won’t you just give General Huo some pillow talk in the future?”The other party had already made it quite explicit.
However, Guo huining listened to her appet.i.te and smiled even wider. “You are joking. Guanchen is not that kind of person.”
Seeing that she was familiar with Huo Guanchen’s tone and from the conversation they overheard, she confirmed that Guo Huining was indeed just one step away.
“How about this, are you free now? Come to the second floor of Yuan Ai Restaurant. It’s convenient for me and for myself.”
The person sent Guo Huining the address coordinates.
Guo Huining took a look. The address coordinates were a restaurant in Sihuan district near the Inst.i.tute of High Energy Physics. It was called “Yuan Ai.”.
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Guo Huining had a scooter in Huo Guanchen’s private residence in the West Mountain. Huo Guanchen had given it to her.
She took the car keys and got into the car. It only took her 20 minutes to arrive at the entrance of Yuan Ai’s restaurant in the Sihuan District, which was near the Inst.i.tute of High Energy Physics.
The waiter at the entrance took her to the second floor.
Guo Huining had never been to this restaurant before. She thought that the second floor was full of private rooms.
However, when she went upstairs, she found that it was still an open hall. However, compared to the hall downstairs, there were many different kinds of screens and green plants, which divided the entire second floor into individual areas.
It looked like a private room, but it was more open than a private room. However, there was enough privacy between each location.
The only disadvantage was that the soundproofing was slightly worse.
Guo huining glanced at the nordic-style dining tables and chairs. She was very surprised that there was such an elegant and interesting restaurant in this place.
She followed the waiter all the way.
After going around the path that was guided by the green vines, she saw a very eye-catching pair of men and women sitting near the window not far away.
The man was elegant and handsome. The woman in front of him was mature and beautiful. It was a strange match.
On the left sat a mother and child. The children were only four or five years old, but they sat on their high chairs obediently. They did not shout like normal children.
The child’s mother was elegant and gentle. She was taking a wet tissue to wipe the child’s hands.
Guo huining retracted her gaze and looked to the right side, which was covered by vines and a screen.
Although it was only a glimpse, Guo Huining suddenly stopped.
Who Did she see? !
She actually saw Huo Guanchen!
What was he doing here at this time?
Guo huining had just called Huo Guanchen in the morning and was told by his personal secretary that Huo Guanchen was going to have a meeting for the whole day!
Was this a meeting?
To come to such a high-end restaurant for a meeting?
Guo huining gripped the handle of her hermès platinum bag tightly, veins popping out on the back of her hand.
However, she was not impulsive. She patiently followed the waiter in another direction.
After making a few more turns, she was finally led to a cubicle by the waiter.
In the cubicle, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties was holding an IPAD and watching a live video stream.
Seeing that she had come, he quickly raised his head, stood up, and stretched out his hand with a smile,”… is that Miss Guo? I’m Uncle Dong.”
This person’s voice was exactly the same as what she had heard on the phone!
Guo huining stretched out her hand in a somewhat embarra.s.sed manner and shook hands with this person.
It was actually a real voice..
She had thought that she had used a voice changer.
Although it sounded a little strange, when Guo Huining recalled that some people’s voices were different from others, she felt relieved.
She had once heard a singer sing. If one only listened to his voice and did not look at his face, everyone would think that he was a woman, but in fact, he was a real man.
Nature’s divine workmans.h.i.+p was sometimes so magical.
“h.e.l.lo, Uncle Dong.”Guo huining sat down opposite him. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the IPAD in the man’s hand. Her expression changed slightly.
She had thought that the man was watching a live broadcast, but now that she saw the content on the IPAD screen clearly, she realized that it was not a normal live broadcast, but the layout of the restaurant!
Seeing that Guo Huining had already sensed that something was different, the person pursed his lips into a smile and handed over an earpiece. “Put it on.”
Guo huining suspiciously took the earpiece and started listening to it with the other earpiece.
She did not stand on ceremony and went over to look at the IPAD beside the person’s hand.
The image on the IPAD was actually not very clear. It was like the quality of the image captured by a low-resolution surveillance camera, but the rare thing was that the sound was very clear.
Guo huining could clearly hear Huo Guanchen’s voice coming from the earpiece.
On the IPAD, Huo Guanchen was sitting opposite a woman with only four dishes in front of him.
Guo Huining looked at Uncle Dong in surprise.
Uncle Dong said with a smile,”… I’m the owner of this restaurant.”
No wonder he could look at the surveillance camera directly!
Guo huining heaved a sigh of relief and ignored the man. She held her breath as she looked at the IPAD and listened to the conversation inside.
After listening for a long time, she finally understood that Huo Guanchen was on a blind date!
She had heard Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi talk about it before, and she had thought that the two of them were deliberately trying to hurt her!
She did not expect it to be true.
Huo Guanchen was not wearing a military uniform at the moment. Instead, he was wearing a gray striped s.h.i.+rt, black slim-fitting suit pants, and a cigarette in his hand. He sat in his seat with great style and looked at the woman in front of him with a faint smile.
The woman in front of him was not young, but she was not very old either. According to Guo Huining, she should be around forty years old. Compared to Huo Guanchen’s age, of course, she was young.
But compared to Guo Huining, she was too old.
Guo huining curled the corners of her mouth in disdain.
However, the woman was quite good-looking. Moreover, it could be seen that she came from a good background and had better upbringing. She spoke softly and looked at Huo Guanchen. Although she was reserved, they were all women, could Guo huining not see through this person’s feelings for Huo Guanchen?
Through the earpiece, the woman said gently, “General Huo, I was divorced once, but I don’t have children. I don’t know if you still want to have children…”
Huo guanchen politely interrupted her, “Ms. Liu, at my age, I don’t need children anymore.”
“AH? Really?”Ms. Liu seemed surprised and happy. “When my father told me, I didn’t believe it…”
Huo Guanchen showed a trace of pity and pity. He put out his cigarette in the ashtray and sighed. “Your father, minister Liu, has worked with me for many years. I Won’t hide it from you. I already have someone in my heart.”
