Chapter 68: 67. Huo Zhiyuan's Change (Seeking collections, seeking recommendation votes!)

~7 min read 1,348 words

Meng Mingxuan began to busy himself according to Zhang Ran's instructions; this was almost the hardest he had ever worked in his life.

Not only was Meng Zixuan surprised by his change, but even people like Ning Qing were incredibly astonished.

Since when did Meng Mingxuan care about these things, and since when was he so motivated?

Of course, Meng Mingxuan would not admit that, besides the small sense of accomplishment in his heart, the reason he was so obedient to Zhang Ran was also because of a sliver of fear in his heart.

Although Zhang Ran had never lost his temper with him and discussed most matters in a consultative tone, ever since experiencing the incident with Sun Ermin that day, he did not know why, but whenever he saw Zhang Ran's calm and unruffled face, he felt a fear of Zhang Ran from the bottom of his heart.

Yangcheng.

Meng He looked at Lin Meizhi with a smile and said, "How about it? Brother Zhang is still the capable one, isn't he? This kid can only behave obediently under Brother Zhang."

He was quite satisfied with Meng Mingxuan's performance during this period, especially when he heard that he had taken the initiative to request the formation of his own negotiation team and that Meng He only needed to help with a few things, he was even happier.

Lin Meizhi was also happy for her son's change, but she still said with some worry, "I know Brother Zhang is grooming him, but I'm afraid that such a big change all at once might be too much for him to handle, and if it affects Brother Zhang's plans, then..."

Meng He said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, this kid has strong resilience; he's not as fragile as you think."

"As for affecting Brother Zhang's plans, that won't happen. Brother Zhang has his own ideas, and he certainly knows Ming Xuan's capabilities; he won't let him do things that exceed his abilities too much."

"Alright. By the way, Zixuan told me she wants to work at Kangshilan; what do you think?" There was some worry in Lin Meizhi's eyes.

Ever since Meng He handed Meng Mingxuan over to Zhang Ran, Lin Meizhi knew Meng He's choice, and she believed Meng Zixuan could guess it too, so she was afraid Meng Zixuan would overthink things because of this.

Meng He glanced at her and said, "Stop overthinking. Zhiyuan has already communicated with me about this matter, so don't worry."

"Besides, can't you see the situation with our two children? That kind of thing won't happen," Meng He comforted her.

Hearing Meng He say this, Lin Meizhi could only nod.

Huo Zhiyuan's office.

Zhao Jingyu was reporting work to Huo Zhiyuan when someone suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.

"Did I give you permission to enter?" Huo Zhiyuan frowned.

Huo Li said with a laugh, "Second sister, I didn't see that you were working. You go ahead and get busy; I'll just wait here."

"Get out!" Huo Zhiyuan's voice was cold and stern.

Huo Li was stunned. This wasn't the first or second time he had done this, and basically, as long as he was thick-skinned, he had never seen Huo Zhiyuan lose her temper like this. What was wrong this time?

"Didn't you hear me? Get out!" Huo Zhiyuan's expression became even more serious.

"I'm going, I'm going." Seeing that Huo Zhiyuan seemed truly about to lose her temper, Huo Li did not dare to stay any longer.

Zhao Jingyu stood on the side watching quietly, and after Huo Li left, she continued reporting her work.

"The work of Ms. Zhang and the others is going very smoothly, and they are also working very hard. In these few days, they have already gradually sorted out the channels in the XH District. I believe it won't be long before they can take over completely," Zhao Jingyu said.

Huo Zhiyuan nodded, "That's good. Keep an eye on them, and if you encounter any problems, report them directly to me."

"I understand. Also, Tian Ya has asked to see you several times; what do you think?" Zhao Jingyu said.

Huo Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, help me schedule it for tomorrow. I will meet them then; let's just have it at the company."

After Zhao Jingyu finished reporting the matters, Huo Zhiyuan said, "Go and call Huo Li in."

When Huo Li walked in, seeing that there still seemed to be no expression on Huo Zhiyuan's face, his smile was a bit forced, "Second sister, have you encountered any troublesome matters? Tell your big brother about it; I will definitely help you settle it."

Looking at Huo Li's "I will definitely help you" act, a trace of mockery could not help but appear in her eyes.

"Call me President Huo at the company," Huo Zhiyuan said simply and coldly.

Huo Li finally sensed that something was wrong with Huo Zhiyuan, but he was a bit confused and could only let it go for now, bringing up his own business.

"Well, President Huo, it's about the agents. How come I heard the company handed over the agency for the Shanghai XH District to two young girls? Is there some mistake somewhere?" Huo Li said with a smile, his face appearing indifferent, as if this were just a small matter.

Huo Zhiyuan said, "That's correct. The agency for the XH District has been handed over to others. You should also notify everyone that you are not to interfere with the XH District agency from now on."

"But this is my..." Huo Li became anxious immediately upon hearing this; this was taking food out of his mouth.

"But what? This is the company's decision. You don't agree?" Huo Zhiyuan glanced at him coldly and said.

Huo Li was startled by Huo Zhiyuan's gaze. Although he knew Huo Zhiyuan had no affection for their family and even felt some resentment, he had never seen such a cold look from her before.

Huo Li hurriedly said, "I agree, I agree. Since it's the company's policy, I will definitely support it. We are all family, after all."

After saying this, Huo Li didn't even know how to continue. He had actually always been a bit afraid of his second sister; this fear stemmed from the fact that his affluent life all came from Huo Zhiyuan.

"If there is nothing else, you may leave," Huo Zhiyuan said.

Huo Li had just stood up when he suddenly said, "Well, do you have time this weekend? Mom and Dad miss you; come home for a meal."

He wanted to play the emotional card using their parents. Although this card didn't have much emotion, it was always somewhat useful; it had been like this in the past.

Hearing this, the mockery in Huo Zhiyuan's eyes grew even stronger, "No time, I'm busy with work. By the way, there is one more thing I almost forgot: Huo Jiaxiong should not come back for the time being. Let him finish his doctorate in the United States first."

Once these words were out, Huo Li could no longer remain calm, "Second sister, didn't we agree? Jiaxiong was going to come back to help you after he finished his master's. Look, he's about to graduate; why did you suddenly change your mind?"

After saying this, Huo Li seemed to realize something was amiss and hurriedly tried to remedy it, "Besides, Jiaxiong also wants to come back to work, and Mom and Dad miss him quite a bit. They were talking about Jiaxiong to me just yesterday."

"If they miss him, send them to the United States with him. What? After all these years, you still don't have the money to buy a plane ticket? If you don't have the money, I can cover some of it," Huo Zhiyuan said.

At this moment, Huo Li confirmed that the second sister in front of him had truly changed, or rather, she had always been like this, only it hadn't been as obvious as it was now.
