Chapter 1978: Chapter 1978: a full man, a hungry man (first update)

The incandescent lamp in the parking lot gave off a pale light, illuminating the surroundings.

Huo Guanchen felt that it was very dazzling.

Withdrawing his gaze, he walked out of the parking lot with Zhang Baochen expressionlessly and came to the small private room that he had agreed to with Guo Huining.

This was also a private room by the window near the water.

Guo Huining sat alone in the room. Her face was a little haggard. She stared blankly at the small lake outside the window, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The waiter who led them in knocked on the door and said with a smile, “Miss Guo, your friend has arrived.”

Guo Huining suddenly turned around and saw that Huo Guanchen had arrived. She was greatly relieved.

“The two of you are here. Please take a seat.”Guo huining greeted them warmly and asked the waiter to quickly serve the dishes.

Huo Guanchen sat down opposite her and said calmly, “I have already eaten. Just bring me a cup of tea.”

Zhang Baochen sat down beside Huo Guanchen happily and said with a smile, “I’m still thinking about the dinner that Miss Guo invited. I haven’t had a bite at home!”

Huo Guanchen:”…”

He frowned slightly and said softly, “Baochen, do you have to go this far?”

“Second brother, you are a man who knows nothing about hunger. Ever since we left the Huo family’s mansion, we haven’t dared to eat freely outside. Who knows when we will offend someone and even lose our last job?”

Zhang Baochen spoke very frankly and did not care about his reputation at all.

Guo Huining knew a little about the Zhang family’s situation and did not take it to heart.

Her ultimate goal was to use Zhang Baochen to build a relationship with Huo Guanchen, including treating grandfather Huo’s illness. Her ultimate goal was Huo Guanchen.

He had a high position and power. He was also Huo Shaoheng’s biological father and Gu Nianzhi’s future husband.

If Gu Nianzhi wanted to enter the Huo family, it was impossible for her not to value Huo Guanchen.

Guo huining heard from Dou aiyan that Huo Guanchen was actually not satisfied with Gu Nianzhi as his daughter-in-law and despised her family background. It was only because Huo Shaoheng really liked her that he did not object.

Guo huining could not help curling her lips in disdain.

She was not optimistic about Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng’s prospects at all.

So what if they were engaged?

She had been engaged to Hong Ziqi for so many years, but was still kicked out with a single kick..

When she thought of Hong Ziqi, she couldn’t help but think of the dispute with the Hong Corporation. Guo Huining’s head hurt even more.

She beckoned for the waiter to come in and refilled Huo Guanchen’s Cup of tea.

After the dishes were served, Guo huining asked the waiter to close the door when they left. She then raised her wine glass and said to Zhang Baochen and Huo Guanchen, “I’m very grateful to the two of you for coming today.”

She had only invited Huo Guanchen and Zhang Baochen to dinner after she had received the news in the afternoon.

She had deliberately chosen this time.

It had to be said that the timing she had chosen was too coincidental..

Huo Guanchen was a very busy person. He would not go to such a last-minute invitation.

But Guo Huining’s matter was special.

The doctor she had hired had cured grandfather Huo, so Huo Guanchen had to give her face and help her.

He raised his teacup and said calmly, “Did miss guo invite us to dinner today to apologize to Gu Nianzhi?”

More than a month ago, Guo Huining had said that she would personally apologize to Gu Nianzhi during the dinner because she had offended Gu Nianzhi and wanted to invite them to dinner.

Huo Guanchen had already promised her, but after waiting for a month, he still hadn’t gotten the chance to have dinner.

Today, Guo Huining finally couldn’t sit still, right?

Guo Huining, on the other hand, was even more embarrassed. She stuttered for a while before saying,”… it’s like this. Miss GU’s matter has already passed, there’s no need to bring it up again.”

“Oh? She accepted your apology? TSK TSK, the Sun has risen from the west, her character has really changed…”Zhang Baochen ate a mouthful of food and couldn’t help but shake his head.

Guo Huining did not want to talk about it. She coughed lightly and looked at Huo Guanchen. She used the most tactful tone and the most pleasant voice, she said softly, “General Huo, I really have no choice. I have no other choice, so I want to ask you for a favor.”

“What favor?”Huo Guanchen put down his teacup. “As long as it doesn’t violate the law or our discipline, I will help you if I can.”

It was just a favor. was there a need to add so many attributions in front of it?

Guo Huining lowered her eyes, her fingers fidgeting with a snow-white napkin. After thinking for a while, she said, “It’s like this. Because of my conflict with Miss Gu, the Hong family and I became enemies.”

“And because of the difference in business philosophy between me and the Hong family’s elders, there was a slight mistake in business.”

“It’s a long story. In short, the old madam of the Hong family not only canceled the engagement between me and her great-grandson, but also… also… I have to compensate for the loss, or else she will sue me in court!”

As she spoke, she cried, feeling very wronged.

Zhang Baochen looked at her in surprise, forgetting to eat his food. He quickly said, “Weren’t you engaged to Hong Ziqi for several years? !”

“… seven or eight years.”Guo huining smiled bitterly, “I’m already in my thirties… my entire youth has been spent on the Hong Corporation and Hong Ziqi. Now they want me to leave, so they let me go. They kicked me out with a single kick. They’re not forgiving at all…”

As she talked about her sadness, her eyes turned red.

There was no need to pretend that she was suffering. She was truly heartbroken, and it was difficult for her to control her emotions.

Huo Guanchen and Zhang Baochen looked at each other, feeling a little sorry for her.

“… then Miss Guo means that you want us to help you plead with the Hong Family?”Huo Guanchen pondered for a while, but he could not understand what Guo huining meant.

“But we are not familiar with the Hong family. I’m afraid we can’t help you.”Zhang Baochen spread his hands helplessly. He was too embarrassed to continue eating.

Guo huining hurriedly shook her head and smiled with tears in her eyes. “Of course not. You guys really don’t know the Hong family at all. How could I let you guys plead on my behalf?”

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced at Huo Guanchen. Then, she quickly lowered her eyes and said, “I have nothing now. I’ve been chased out by the Hong family. I can’t find a new job and have nowhere to go.”

“The Hong family has taken back the house and the stocks. I have no home now, so I can only stay in a hotel.”

“My family is not in this city. The only friends I’m familiar with here are the Hong family. Now that I’ve fallen out with them, I can’t even find a job…”

She muttered, “I want to ask you two if you can help me find a job… I’m not picky, and it’s not expensive. I can just provide food and accommodation. I can be a private legal consultant or assistant.”

Zhang Baochen frowned and said awkwardly, “But I can’t even protect myself. I haven’t had a job for a long time.”

As he said that, he looked at Huo Guanchen, carefully, he said, “Second brother, why don’t you help her? Miss Guo is also a top graduate from B University’s law department. It shouldn’t be difficult for her to be your personal assistant and manage your personal affairs, right?”

Huo Guanchen pondered for a moment. He thought to himself that his position was so high that he couldn’t have a personal assistant at all.

His personal affairs were all taken care of by a personal secretary.

However, Guo Huining was really pitiful. She had indeed gotten into a conflict with Gu Nianzhi and had found someone to help him cure his father. He had to return the favor.

He thought about it, he said, “I can’t have a personal assistant, but my father needs someone to take care of his personal affairs.”. “If you don’t mind, Miss Guo, you can be my father’s assistant for a while. “It’s not too late to go when you find a job in the future.”

Guo Huining’s eyes instantly lit up.

“Really? ! That’s great! Thank you, General Huo! I’ll take good care of grandfather Huo!”

“You don’t have to take care of him yourself.”Huo Guanchen smiled, thinking that this Miss Guo was really naive..

“I’ve hired some people to take care of the old man. There are rehabilitation doctors and nurses, nannies and chefs, as well as gardeners and part-time workers. Please help me take care of these people. When I’m not at home, I’ll have to trouble you.”
