Gu Nianzhi nodded obediently. "I'll go shower and sleep."
Huo Shaoheng kissed her forehead and watched her go inside her bedroom. He sat in her living room for a while, then left. When he returned to the dining room downstairs, Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze were already both drunk. Although they weren't knocked out like Chen Lie, their eyes were glazed and reacted very sluggishly when Huo Shaoheng came in. Huo Shaoheng glanced at them before pouring himself a glass of wine and sipping it slowly as he said to Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong, "Try to go to bed earlier tonight.Β I'm going back for a meeting on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar to get a head start on the new year."
"Roger, Chief!" Yin Shixiong and Zhaoliangze answered in unison. After having a few more drinks with Huo Shaoheng, the pair finally stumbled out of the dining room.
