Gu Nianzhi was immediately wide awake. She jumped out of bed, humming cheerfully to herself, and gave Huo Shaoheng a quick "I'll see you later" before hanging up. She rushed to her wardrobe and rummaged through it, before settling on a women's suit made of light gray merino wool. She had chosen a trouser suit instead of a skirt suit as it was already evening and chilly outside. At the door, she put on a cashmere coat before going out.
She did not know where Huo Shaoheng was, but that did not prove to be a problem: as soon as she walked out of his residence, she saw that Huo Shaoheng had already sent one of his subordinates to wait by the door and escort her to him.
