Chapter 127: 124. A Heartwarming Moment (An extra chapter for the Alliance Leader 'Still Playing'!)

~8 min read 1,450 words

Kangshilan.

Zhao Jingyu arrived at Huo Zhiyuan's office. "President Huo, everything has been delivered."

Huo Zhiyuan nodded, then took an invitation from the side and handed it to Zhao Jingyu.

Zhao Jingyu took a look and discovered it was an invitation to the Engagement ceremony of Sun Gaixin and Tian Ya. However, she did not understand Huo Zhiyuan's intention and tentatively said, "Are you planning to have me attend on your behalf?"

Huo Zhiyuan shook her head and said, "What do you think if I let Siyan go?"

"I don't understand why you would have such an idea." Zhao Jingyu felt increasingly confused. "Isn't this rubbing salt into Siyan's wounds?"

Huo Zhiyuan said, "I know that, but the best way to walk out of the shadows is to face the past; one cannot just keep avoiding it."

"Although it is a bit too hasty now, it is also a very good opportunity."

Huo Zhiyuan wanted to let Siyan walk out of the shadows of the past. Although the method was a bit rough, in the face of such a situation, many rough methods are actually the most suitable.

While "moistening things silently" can minimize pain, it may also leave behind hidden dangers.

Tearing open the wound and letting it heal anew might allow it to recover completely.

Zhao Jingyu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She felt that if it were her, she would absolutely not want to face those two people right now.

"And when the time comes, if you have Siyan represent me and reject their cooperation in person, that should make her feel better." Huo Zhiyuan also had her own considerations.

After hearing these words, Zhao Jingyu couldn't help but say, "Are you planning to completely burn bridges with Tian Yaohui? Will this have an impact on the company?"

Zhao Jingyu had completely understood; Huo Zhiyuan was preparing to put the faces of Tian Ya and Sun Gaixin on the ground for Siyan to step on.

It had to be said that Huo Zhiyuan had put in a lot of effort for Siyan to walk out of the shadows, considering everything she could, and even for Siyan's sake, she had already decided to burn all bridges.

To firmly reject cooperation at someone else's Engagement ceremony was a huge blow to the company Tian Ya and the others had just established, might even become a laughingstock in the industry, and was even more of a provocation to Tian Yaohui.

Huo Zhiyuan did not look at Zhao Jingyu, only saying flatly, "So what?"

Zhao Jingyu looked at Huo Zhiyuan, somewhat stunned. The Huo Zhiyuan she knew was never someone who would push others to the brink, and in the business world, Huo Zhiyuan had often left some room for others.

Whether in the business world or in society, Huo Zhiyuan's reputation was very good.

There was no need to mention the business world; in society, the Yuanran Charity Foundation established by Huo Zhiyuan donated 200 million in charitable funds to society every year, the vast majority of which was used for Hope Primary School.

These charitable funds were basically paid for by Huo Zhiyuan herself, with a portion also coming from donations by business tycoons.

The Yuanran Charity Foundation basically did not solicit funds from the public, which also reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble.

At the very least, for so many years, no one had come to criticize the Yuanran Charity Foundation, because this money was originally Huo Zhiyuan's own, and there was no need to report the usage to anyone.

"Tomorrow, go ask Siyan and hear her opinion. If she doesn't object, then that's how it will be decided," Huo Zhiyuan said.

"I understand," Zhao Jingyu nodded and said.

That evening, Zhang Ran and his family moved into their new home, with smiles hanging on everyone's faces. Siyan also stayed behind and would be living in the new home tonight.

The family gathered around a table, eating a sumptuous dinner. There was the sound of the couple whispering and the chattering of the children. At this moment, Zhang Ran felt incomparably satisfied.

Zhang Ran said silently in his heart, "How I wish you were here too at this moment."

The smile on Liu Lu's face had not disappeared since this morning. Unlike Zhang Ran, Liu Lu felt more at peace.

Although the house had belonged to them for a long time, only at this moment did she truly feel that she had a stable home!

Sicheng looked at his wife's smile, feeling both happy and guilty in his heart. However, he quickly cast these thoughts aside. Although this moment had come a bit late, it was good that it had come!

Sicheng had never been as grateful for Zhang Ran's return as he was now!

Even when Zhang Ran gave him a company worth 30 million, he had not felt as satisfied and happy as he did at this moment!

In the evening, the family was in no rush to rest. Instead, they went to the small bar on the second basement level, drinking a little wine and chatting, appearing incomparably relaxed and at ease.

However, they did not play too late, and around ten o'clock, they all went to sleep.

But Zhang Ran was pulled by the two little ones to tell stories, especially Zhang Xiaotao; for some reason, he was particularly fond of listening to the story of the Calabash Brothers, and now he wouldn't sleep without hearing it once every day.

After both little ones were asleep, Zhang Ran tucked them into their respective rooms before going to sleep himself.

The next day, when Siyan and Qian Li arrived at the company, they saw that Zhao Jingyu was already waiting for them at their company.

"Assistant Zhao, is there something you need to notify us about?" Qian Li hurried forward to ask.

Previously, they were the ones who went to Kangshilan, and Zhao Jingyu rarely came to their side.

"Let's go to the office to talk," Zhao Jingyu said.

The three arrived at the office, and both Siyan and Qian Li were curious about what Zhao Jingyu had to say.

Zhao Jingyu did not rush to speak, but silently took out the invitation and handed it to Siyan.

After Siyan finished reading it, her expression immediately turned unpleasant. Although she had completely let go in her heart, no matter what, she could not truly treat those two as strangers.

"Assistant Zhao, what is the meaning of this?" Qian Li had a fiery temper. If it concerned herself, she might be able to endure it, but when it concerned Siyan, she couldn't endure it for even a second.

Zhao Jingyu was not angry at Qian Li's questioning, but instead smiled and said to Siyan, "If you were asked to attend this Engagement ceremony on behalf of the company, what do you think?"

At this, Qian Li became even more furious. Just as she was about to flare up, she was pulled back by Siyan. At this moment, Siyan had already regained her composure.

She said with a calm expression, "If the company needs it, then I will definitely attend, and I guarantee I won't cause trouble for the company."

Qian Li tugged on Siyan's sleeve and said somewhat anxiously, "Siyan!"

Siyan signaled that she was fine, just quietly waiting for Zhao Jingyu's follow-up.

Zhao Jingyu smiled; it seemed Siyan had grown a lot during this period. "Do you know that Tian Ya has been seeking cooperation with our Kangshilan during this time?"

"I didn't know," Siyan shook her head and said.

"Having you go this time is to have you reject their request for cooperation in person. Of course, I will also go with you," the smile on Zhao Jingyu's face became even brighter.

Siyan and Qian Li were both stunned. Were they hallucinating?

"Is that for real?" Qian Li couldn't help but say. At this moment, she suspected that the Zhao Jingyu in front of her was fake.

Zhao Jingyu said, "Of course it's real. I wouldn't dare joke about such things."

Siyan was calmer than Qian Li, and upon hearing this, she said, "Why?"

"You are one of our people at Kangshilan, and President Huo thinks highly of you," Zhao Jingyu gave a reason that was not really a reason.

Siyan did not ask further. Although she didn't quite believe these words, she was willing to do this.

Qian Li suddenly looked at Zhao Jingyu ingratiatingly and said, "Assistant Zhao, do you think I could go along? I have long wanted to..." She did not finish the rest of her sentence, but Jingyu understood what she meant.

"Of course you can."
