Express Yourself

Gu Nianzhi sipped her cup of milk, seeming not to hear what Bai Yueran was saying. Even if she did overhear anything, she had pretend to not know anything. This was Huo Shaoheng's official business and Gu Nianzhi shouldn't be involved at all. She looked down at the egg tarts on the clover shaped dish and forked a bit into her mouth.

Huo Shaoheng set down his cup of coffee and said, "The Special Operations Forces has a specific hiring process. Director Bai, you should know this even if you have been newly transferred in."

Bai Yueran smiled. "Of course I know! I just thought to give Major General Huo advance notice. This was General Ji's special request." She paused and grew serious. "Xu Piaohong is not a typical candidate; General Ji suggests that you seriously consider her. It's better if you can get to know her more. The Special Ops has always encouraged inter-departmental marriages. It's the same policy as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Secret Service."
