Chapter 98: 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 exactly. I drafted it while talking with you. There was a template, I just changed it a little."

Ruan Mian had already begun to browse through it line by line.

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

No wonder he made 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: That wasn't your attitude when you acquired that company last time!

Ruan Mian looked through it seriously and really couldn't find any faults; every clause was clear, with no hidden landmines.

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

"A 30/70 split? I get 70% and you get 30%? Are you serious?"

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

She didn't seem to know the value of the plants in her hands; at least for now, they were unique in the entire Interstellar, so even with a 30/70 split, the 30% he took was a very considerable value.

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

But for such a capable person, it is better to have an ally than an enemy.

He was also happy to grant her this favor.

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

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

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

It seemed playful, "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's very delicious."

She understood in a second.

A domineering president acts entirely on his mood.

"It's cold, let the Wang family 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 can you change the date on this contract?"

The contract validity period marked above was ten years.

For Ruan Mian, who was not originally from the Interstellar, ten years was really 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 accident 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, his finger tapping on the date column, and the ten years were wiped away, leaving it blank.

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, well, five years is also a bit long."

He frowned, as if saying, '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 probed, "Can... can one year work?"

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

She thought better of it.

Otherwise, she would seem too unstable.

After all, she was a small business owner now!

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

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

"Fine, then let's 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.

She signed her 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 input 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 CEO!

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

Ruan Mian, her name, she really is just like her name.

She looks soft and fluffy.

Suddenly, his gaze paused; the column for her personal information said 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.

"Pleasant cooperation, little one Ruan Mian."

Little one?

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

"What 'little one'? I, I am already an adult!"

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 an adult, but to me, you are a little one."

He copied the contract over, "Two copies, it has been sent, keep it 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 shocked 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.

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 of this handsome man in front of her who looked not much older than her, yet was eighty-four years her senior, tsk tsk, would they count as friends across generations?

Haha, what the hell kind of friends 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.

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

Huo Junze: Is it very funny?

What is funny about it?

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