Chapter 1179: Han Han, I’m Here

"Han Han, I’m here..." Gu Xiaozhan responded to her softly.

But she didn’t see his eyes, there was none of the previous passion.

His drooping eyelids hid his indifference and detachment.

Even though he didn’t have the desire to be the closest with her, he was willing to change.

Just when the man was all ready, with only one last step to go, his phone rang.

The late-night call startled both of them.

The phone rang once, they both ignored it.

When it rang again, Mu Anhan nudged him: "Go answer it!"

If it wasn’t something important, they probably wouldn’t be calling so late at night.

"Han Han, sorry." Gu Xiaozhan, getting up, lowered his head and kissed her on the temple to console her.

He picked up the phone and saw it was a call from the Minister of Commerce himself. He turned over and sat up, "Minister Ma..."

"Sorry to disturb you so late, Xiao Zhan, there’s a critical issue, can you come over?" Ma Changguang sounded a bit anxious.

"Alright, I’ll come right over." Gu Xiaozhan hung up the phone, looking at Mu Anhan whose face was still rosy, "Han Han..."

"If it’s urgent, hurry and go!" Mu Anhan sat up and quickly put on her nightgown.

Then, she opened the wardrobe and put together a formal suit for him to wear.

"I’ll be quick, don’t wait up." Gu Xiaozhan, dressed and ready, hugged her before leaving.

Mu Anhan nodded, "Okay."

After Gu Xiaozhan’s car left, she returned to bed from the window.

She sighed softly, even though the night was "interrupted," it could still be considered a significant progress!

...

Ministry of Commerce.

When Gu Xiaozhan arrived, the clock’s hand was pointing to two in the morning.

Ma Changguang was pacing back and forth. Upon seeing Gu Xiaozhan arrive, he hurriedly approached, "Thank you for coming over so late."

"Minister Ma, you’re too polite." Gu Xiaozhan shook his hand.

When they sat down, Ma Changguang got straight to the point, "About Country M blocking our chips, you must already know. We need to intensify our own creative efforts."

"I know." Gu Xiaozhan nodded, "We also have research and development underway, currently in testing."

"Good, I look forward to it!" Ma Changguang was quite excited, "You know in diplomacy, it’s always tit for tat. Recently, the electronic communication products we newly exported are also subject to high tariffs, putting us in a very passive position."

These electronic products also included those from Gu Xiaozhan’s company.

He was naturally aware of this.

"At any time, weak countries will be bullied. We must continue to strive hard, in technology and manufacturing, we must lead the world. Then not just Country M but all countries will treat us with respect." Gu Xiaozhan said.

Ma Changguang nodded, "In the business community, you’ve always been in a leadership position. I’d like you to appease them and distribute the blocked exports to other developing countries."

"No problem." Gu Xiaozhan agreed readily.

Ma Changguang stood up, "It’s very late already, I won’t keep you. Thanks for making the trip, have a good rest when you get back."

"Please wait, Minister Ma, goodbye!" After bidding farewell, Gu Xiaozhan left.

Ma Changguang paused in place and asked his accompanying staff, "Have you noticed how much he has changed?"

"Previously, Mr. Gu was very proud, whoever was in front of him felt invisible," the staff nodded, "Now..."
