Chapter 1971: Chapter 1971: What She relied on (third update)

“… Zhang Baochen?”Old Madam Hong looked down at the information she had just collected about the Huo family. “This is… grandfather Huo’s illegitimate child?”

Her information showed that grandfather Huo had an illegitimate child with his head nurse, Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng was currently in prison, and had been sent there by Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi.

Because it had only been a short period of time, the information was not very detailed, but the basic facts were still there.

Old Madam Hong’s assistant was stunned for a moment. Then he remembered that Zhang Baochen’s surname was Zhang, not Huo. He said hesitantly,”… I think so? Old Madam, I can go and confirm it again.”

“No need.”Old Madam Hong raised her hand and said in a low voice, “General Huo was born from old master Huo’s first wife, and general Huo is general Huo’s only son… It’s better not to invite Zhang Baochen for the time being.”

Madam Hong knew that this kind of thing could not be avoided in all the influential families, so it was understandable. However, she had to be clear about the priorities.

She frowned and said, “Guo Huining said that Zhang Baochen is old Mr. Huo’s most beloved son?”

The assistant quickly nodded. “That’s what Miss Guo said. Are you really not going to invite him?”

Madam Hong closed the folder with the Huo family’s information and said unhappily, “Invite him for what? To make things difficult for general Huo? Guo huining can only climb up to Zhang Baochen. I really thought too highly of her in the past!”

The assistant shrunk his neck, thinking that if it was not for Zhang Baochen, Guo Huining would not even be able to reach the door of the Huo family. How could she recommend a doctor?

However, seeing that Madam Hong was in a rage, the assistant did not dare to argue and quickly agreed.

“Go and call general Huo and Mr. Huo. Also, ask for Major General Huo’s number. He and Ziqi are good friends. Ziqi also said that he and Huo are childhood friends, so he should have a way to contact them.”

The assistant nodded repeatedly. She returned to her small office and continued to call the Huo family.

She called Old Mr. Huo First.

The person who answered the phone was a middle-aged man.

He asked in puzzlement, “May I know who you are looking for?”

The assistant quickly said, “Hello, May I know if Huo Xuenong and old Mr. Huo are in?”

The person said in relief, “Yes, old Mr. Huo is my father. Why are you looking for him? He just took his medicine and went to sleep.”

After grandfather Huo was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Baochen brought him to his house to take care of him personally.

Huo Guanchen had originally wanted to bring grandfather Huo back to the Huo family mansion, but he couldn’t resist the fact that grandfather Huo wanted to live with Zhang Baochen and his family, so he didn’t insist.

Anyway, Zhang Baochen and his wife didn’t have work now, so they had plenty of time.

Huo Guanchen was busy with work. Even if he brought grandfather Huo back to the Huo family mansion, he wouldn’t be able to take care of him personally.

Huo Shaoheng was even more so. He didn’t want to return to the Huo family mansion at all.

The assistant put on a smile and said, “It’s like this. I’m the assistant to the Chairman of the Hong Group, Old Madam Hong. Our Old Madam wants to treat Mr. Huo to a meal at the newly opened Chengnan mansion in the capital. Please do come!”

The person who answered the phone was Zhang Baochen. When he heard about Chengnan Mansion and Old Madam Hong, his heart skipped a beat.”… treat my father to a meal? Why?”

“… It’s like this. Our Old Madam found out that miss gu had been wronged in our Hong Hotel a few days ago. She felt very apologetic and wanted to treat miss gu and major general Huo to a meal and apologize to them in person.”

“Also, old Mr. Huo and general Huo. Our Old Madam also wants to treat them to a meal to express our sincerity in apologizing.”

Zhang Baochen listened for a long time but still did not hear his name. He could not help but ask,”… only my father and my second brother?”

The assistant smiled brightly. “Mr. Zhang, right? Don’t worry. For now, only Mr. Huo and general Huo are invited because they are the elders of miss gu and general huo…”

Zhang Baochen was implying that Zhang Baochen could not be considered gu nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng’s elders, so his words were useless.

Zhang Baochen understood what the assistant meant, and felt very uncomfortable. He was even more determined to borrow grandfather Huo’s power and return to the top of the imperial capital.

“Alright, I’ll ask my father when he wakes up. Send me the location and time of the banquet, and send it to my phone.”

After the assistant sent the message, he dialed Huo Guanchen’s number again.

Of course, Huo Guanchen didn’t answer it himself, but his personal secretary did.

“Hello, General Huo Guanchen’s office. May I know who you are?”

Old Madam Hong’s assistant quickly said, “I’m the assistant to the Chairman of the Hong Corporation, Old Madam Hong. We’d like to treat general Huo to a meal at the newly opened Chengnan residence in the capital.”

“There’s no need. General Huo is very busy.”

“… It’s like this. Our Old Madam is treating for miss gu and major general Huo. Miss GU and major general Huo will both be here, as well as old Mr. Huo.”

When the personal secretary heard that it was a private matter for Huo Guanchen, he quickly went in to report it.

Huo Guanchen thought for a moment. “Will father be there too? If he’s going, I’ll go.”

He recalled the call Zhang Baochen gave him yesterday, saying that he would help Guo Huining negotiate. Now, it was the chairman of the Hong Corporation, Madam Hong, who was personally going. She was even more important than Guo Huining, so she was very sincere.

The personal secretary quickly said, “The assistant said that he will be there.”

Huo Guanchen picked up his phone and called Zhang Baochen. “Baochen, is father going to the banquet? Madam Hong is treating.”

Zhang Baochen nodded. “Yes, they just called to invite him.”

His voice was a little depressed.

Huo Guanchen ignored him and put down his phone. He said to the personal secretary, “Then go. But my time is limited, so I can only stay for half an hour.”

Taking half an hour to go to the Hong family’s banquet was already very respectful for someone of Huo Guanchen’s rank.

Old Madam Hong’s assistant was overjoyed and quickly said, “Thank you, then. I’ll send someone to deliver the invitation right away!”

After dealing with Huo Guanchen and grandfather Huo, the assistant went to call Gu Nianzhi again.

This time, she changed her number, because Gu Nianzhi had probably blocked that number.

“Excuse me, is this miss gu? I…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Nianzhi recognized her voice and snapped, “Why is it you again?”

She hung up and quickly blocked the assistant’s second number.

“… Tsk, how arrogant…”the assistant pursed his lips and stopped trying to persuade Gu Nianzhi. Instead, he called Xue Jingjiang.

“May I ask who’s calling?”Xue Jingjiang sat at the bar counter and asked nonchalantly as he swirled the cocktail in his hand.

The number displayed on the phone was very unfamiliar.

Old Madam Hong’s assistant quickly said, “Hello, Young Master Xue. I’m the assistant of Old Madam Hong, the chairman of the Hong Corporation. Hong Ziqi is our old madam’s great-grandson.”

“Oh, old madam, what can I do for You?”Xue Jingjiang took a sip of the cocktail, his feet tapping to the music in the room.

“It’s like this. A few days ago, Miss Gu Nianzhi suffered a small grievance at our hotel. Our Old Madam would like to personally apologize to her.”

“I made a round of calls just now. I’ve already invited old Mr. Huo and general Huo to the banquet.”

“I just wanted to ask if you have major general Huo’s contact information…”

“Oh, about that…”Xue Jingjiang smiled mysteriously. “I’m sorry, I have no comment.”

He hung up the call with old Madam Hong’s assistant. Thinking about the electric car scandal in the Hong Corporation, he shook his head.

Guo Huining, this woman, was really a failure. Let’s see how much trouble she had caused the Hong Corporation.

The assistant had no choice. He went back to Old Madam Hong’s study anxiously and told her in detail about the call.

Old Madam Hong frowned. “Miss GU is still not willing to come?”

This little girl was indeed quite arrogant.

However, they had been unreasonable in the first place, and the little girl felt uncomfortable, so it was understandable that she had rejected their apology.

You Can’t always be in charge of everything, can you?

You’ve offended her, and now you want to apologize, but she must accept?

She silently looked at the computer screen in front of her and thought to herself, even old Mr. Huo and general Huo had accepted the invitation, but Gu Nianzhi still refused.

She was so strong-willed, what exactly did she have to rely on?

After thinking about it, Huo Shaoheng was the only one left.

Gu Nianzhi was Huo Shaoheng’s fiancée, and Old Madam Hong’s assistant had not been able to speak to Huo Shaoheng until now.

Mrs. Hong felt uneasy.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Hong stood up with her walking stick. “Pack my things. I’m going to visit Miss Gu in person.”

“Bring a gift. Also, do you know Miss Gu’s address?”
