Chapter 696: Guard It Against You

Gong Zhan curbed his appetite, responding, “My mother bought it. She loves these things. If Deputy Commander Hu likes it, I’ll have my mother tell me where the shop is later. I’ll have her buy some more and have someone bring it to you.”

Gong Zhan had previously received orders from above to take good care of the newly arrived Deputy Commander of the Cultural Work Troupe.

Given the implications for his career, Gong Zhan had someone investigate Hu Jie’s background. Her father, a former division commander, had died in battle, but he was a national hero. As the daughter of a hero, Hu Jie would undoubtedly receive special care from the national government.

Furthermore, her family had many military officials, and her political background was extremely strong. Her mother’s family was also not simple…

After understanding this, Gong Zhan was very clear in his heart. Even at the same level, the Deputy Commander of the Cultural Work Troupe could not compare to his military position and power. But when receiving Hu Jie, he had to take it seriously.

Therefore, on the day Hu Jie arrived, he had arranged a rather grand reception and even set up a welcome banquet at the Golden Sun Hotel.

Today, he would say these superfluous words to Hu Jie. If it were any other official from the Cultural Work Troupe, even a commander, Gong Zhan would not pay much attention. This was all determined by a person’s origin and background, and Gong Zhan felt that he couldn’t be blamed for being realistic.

Hu Jie was quite satisfied with Gong Zhan’s hospitality. She remembered the purpose of her trip and said to Gong Zhan, “That’s good. I’ll have the guard give you the money for the pastries later. Now let’s get to the point. I came here because there’s something I want to discuss with you, Mr. Gong…”

As evening approached, Mrs. Chen and her friends finished their gathering. Mrs. Chen returned home, changed into her slippers, and went straight into the kitchen. She had to prepare dinner.

The Gong family was not so poor that they couldn’t afford a maid, but Mrs. Chen felt that it was more reassuring to cook the meals herself, and she was not used to having strangers in the house.

So, for many years, the Gong family had never hired a maid to cook. Mrs. Chen would only hire a part-time worker to come to the house for a thorough cleaning every once in a while.
