Yin shi+xiong’s thoughts were splitting with tension Give me a break, Chief! Nianzhi may be naive, but you aren’t! You have no future with her!
“You’re saying that… she won’t pass the background check?” Huo Shaoheng atte
Yin shi+xiong froze: ere they now talking about the background check?
Huo Shaoheng looked at him He didn’t want to reveal it, but he knew that Yin shi+xiong and Zhao Liangze treated Gu Nianzhi like family and that they were i, “We already know the naht now”
“Oh?!” Yin shi+xiong exclaimed to the surprise of the passerby, then muffled his mouth and whispered, “Did you really find out the name of Nianzhi’s father?!” If they had the name, then they would be able to find the person any day noever, even if they found Gu Nianzhi’s faround, she had still been raised by Huo Shaoheng; if they became ro’s political eneainst hi’s career Yin shi+xiong truly believed their age gap was too great— if a three year difference was a one generation gap, then that eneration gap between theo, but wasn’t able to take ti on We will start looking into it after the new year,” Huo Shaoheng said as he walked through the entrance of the Hermès store
Herer h to allow people to purchase from them Hermès sales people were notoriously wily and crafty If a customer wasn’t on their VIP list, it would be basically is The staff would first inform the customer that there was none stock, then convince them to purchase all sorts of random items to build the relationshi+p After six n to offer the custo that was between tens to hundreds of thousands US dollars It must be paid in full and no installments were accepted Just like that, the custoe favour Despite this rigor, countless wos and most people would never be able to afford one, because not even money would allow a customer to obtain it

Gu Nianzhi pointed to the bag disbelievingly “Isn’t there one right here?”
“That one?”
The woman didn’t bat an eye, “It’s already been reserved and that’s the last one in our store”
Gu Nianzhi frowned, disappointed Fine, she wouldn’t bother if that were the case Gu Nianzhi gazed longingly at the bag again and whispered shyly, “Will you be restocking this again?”
The woantly behind the counter and saze was already focused on the entrance
Gu Nianzhi really liked the bag, so she tried again even though the saleswonored her “Can you please letit? I can pre-order and put down a deposit”
The salesperson glanced at her with a smirk: she didn’t see Hermès could ! She fu it see was the last sack of grain Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t die without the bag: it wasn’t a necessity Silently cursing in her heart, Gu Nianzhi walked out of the store
“Nianzhi!” Yin shi+xiong careet her when he saw her co? Who pissed you off?”
“Brother Xiong? Why are you here?” Gu Nianzhi asked Yin shi+xiong and shot Huo Shaoheng a curious glance
