Chapter 28: Huo Junze, you are so old~

Ruan Mian shook her head, "You aren't some flood or wild beast, what do I have to be afraid of?"

(Mo Mishu: What? What did you say? President Huo is much more terrifying than any flood or wild beast!)

"That's good then."

After saying this, Huo Junze projected the drafted contract from his Light Brain; once the Party A and Party B sections appeared, she was stunned.

She clicked her tongue and shook her head.

"You didn't plan this for a long time, did you?"

He made a fist and coughed lightly, "Not really. I drafted it while talking with you; it's a template, I just changed a few things."

Ruan Mian had already started browsing through it, clause by clause.

No wonder people say he is the president of a large corporation; just look at this efficiency.

No wonder he makes a fortune.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared; this saying is truly perfect for him.

"Of course, you can put forward your views and opinions, and we can change it at any time."

Mo Mishu: You certainly didn't have this attitude when you acquired that other company last time!

Ruan Mian looked through it seriously and really couldn't find any faults; there were no hidden landmines in any of the terms.

Especially when she saw the profit-sharing, she was a little bit surprised.

"A three-seven split? I get seven and you get three? Are you serious?"

Huo Junze raised an eyebrow, his expression one of taking it for granted.

She seemed unaware of the value of the plants in her hands; at least for now, they were unique in the entire Interstellar, so even with a three-seven split, the thirty percent he took was a very considerable value.

Moreover, his Huo Group was vast and powerful; he wouldn't stoop to taking advantage of a young girl.

But for someone this capable, having them as an ally is better than making them an enemy.

He was also happy to grant her this favor.

"I have said it before, no one will be more suitable than me to be your ally."

His slender, well-proportioned fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, one after another; his understated tone was full of confidence.

At this moment, the aura of someone in a superior position was fully displayed.

Seemingly amused, he added, "The amount you earn is nothing to me."

Ruan Mian thought to herself, *Oh right*, he is the president of the Huo Group, and the Light Brain used by the entire Interstellar is operated by his company.

He probably earns more every second than she does!

This bit of pocket change really is nothing to him.

"I like the food you make; it is very delicious."

She understood in a second.

A domineering president acts entirely on his mood.

"The weather is cold, it's time for the Wang family to go bankrupt."

Since he had no objections and she wasn't losing out, and this contract had no downsides for her, why not go for it?

"Alright then, but could you change the date on this contract?"

The contract validity period marked above was ten years.

For Ruan Mian, who was not a native of the Interstellar, ten years was truly too long.

After all, in her past life, she didn't even know if she would live to see tomorrow!

So she lived every day as if it were her last.

Ten years is too long; what if some unexpected change happens in the middle?

She didn't dare to gamble.

This also showed that, subconsciously, she didn't trust him that much.

Huo Junze seemed to see through her concerns; he had no objections and nodded, tapping his finger on the date column, and the ten years were deleted, leaving a blank space.

He brought up the numeric keypad, but just as his finger touched the number 5, he was called out.

"Wait a moment!"

Huo Junze:?

Ruan Mian gave an awkward laugh, "Hehe, um, five years is also a bit long."

He frowned, as if to say, 'Is five years long?'

There was a serious difference in their concepts of time!

"Then what do you think?"

Ruan Mian silently held up an index finger.

She carefully tested the waters, "O-one year, is that okay?"

If the person in front of her didn't look so sincere, she would have really wanted to ask, is one month okay?

She thought better of it.

Otherwise, she would appear too unstable.

After all, she was a small boss now!

He was amused by her little actions, his expression softening slightly as he sighed helplessly.

Very well, the young girl still seems young; being cautious is to be expected.

"Fine, then we'll fill in one year. After one year, you are welcome to renew the contract with me at any time."

Immediately after, he entered the number 1.

The contract was read, and now it was time for the final step.

Signed her own name and information.

Huo Junze was the first to fill in all the Party A details, then connected his Light Brain to hers, "Take a look, if there are no issues, shall we sign the contract?"

After reading it through carefully once more and confirming there were no problems, Ruan Mian nodded her head.

"Okay."

She collected and entered her information, then solemnly signed her name.

Seeing the name of Party A clearly, she silently muttered it in her heart; Huo Junze, his name, he truly is the quintessential domineering CEO!

"Alright, then I wish us a happy cooperation, President Huo~"

Ruan Mian, her name, she really is as soft and fluffy as her name suggests.

She looks just like a soft, fluffy ball.

Suddenly, his gaze paused; the column for her personal information listed her age as eighteen!

She is only eighteen years old?

Huo Junze did not doubt the authenticity of the information collection; he could be said to understand the Light Brain better than anyone else.

So she was even younger than he had imagined.

"Happy cooperation, little kid Ruan Mian."

Little kid?

Clearly, Ruan Mian was very dissatisfied with this form of address.

"What do you mean 'little kid'? I, I have already reached adulthood!"

She almost blurted out that she was nearly thirty, but suddenly remembered that this body had only just reached adulthood.

He raised his eyebrows, his eyes carrying a doting look he himself had not even noticed.

"Mm, indeed you have reached adulthood, but to me, you are still a little kid."

He copied the contract over, "Two copies in total, they have been sent, keep them safe."

Ruan Mian secretly, right under his nose, openly took a look at his information.

Goodness, she didn't know until she looked, and she was startled once she did.

Huo Junze, Gender: Male, Age: 102 years old.

"You are one hundred and two years old? Are you sure?"

He was noncommittal; his personal information was genuine and authentic.

Oh, right, she just remembered that in the Interstellar era, where the average age is measured in the hundreds, one hundred and two is truly considered young.

At least in the original owner's memories, the longest-lived recorded Interstellar human lived to be over eight hundred years old.

Uh... that really is an old person!

However, the average person still cannot live that long; it is usually five hundred.

Life is already not easy, and now this—how many hundreds of years are left until retirement...

Thinking that the handsome man in front of her, who looked like he wasn't much older than her, was actually eighty-four years her senior, tsk tsk, would they count as friends across generations?

Haha, what a ridiculous "friendship across generations."

She couldn't help but curve her eyes, "Huo Junze, you are so old~"

Huo Junze:???

He is old?

Is he old?

Isn't he in the prime of his youth?

It was the first time someone had called him old, and it felt somewhat absurd.

"What else? I'm only eighteen, and you're already over a hundred; you're more than eighty years older than me. People say there's a generation gap every three years, so there are nine twists and eighteen turns between us, hahaha!"

Huo Junze: Is it very funny?

What is funny about it?

"Let's go, old grandpa, to celebrate our cooperation, I'll treat you to something delicious!"
