On the other side, Huo Yi looked at Nangong Jue with great resentment: "Lord Jue, you're just a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man. You have a wife, but I don't. You're arranging a job for me in the middle of the Lunar New Year. Do I even need to pursue a wife?"

"Do you know why you've never been able to completely win over Fang Xiaotao?" Nangong Jue gave Huo Yi a profound look. "Do you know why Alan was able to be moved by me again even after we divorced?"

"Why?" Huo Yi's eyes widened.

"Then do you know when a man is most charming?" Nangong Jue continued to deceive.

"When?" Huo Yi had indeed fallen for the trick.

“When I’m working.” Nangong Jue raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Huh?" Huo Yi frowned.

"Haven't you read so many CEO romance novels? To win the female lead's favor, a qualified CEO, besides being able to distinguish between a green tea bitch and a pure white lotus, also needs to work hard. A man at work is the most charming."

Huo Yi: ...

Thinking back, it seems there really was such a description.

"Look at you. When you were with Fang Xiaotao, all you did was eat, drink, and have fun. Even if you have money, that girl isn't a gold digger. Her family is well-off. If you really did something like buying up a shopping mall or a pond, she'd probably look down on you. Don't you think that makes sense?"

Huo Yi stroked his chin.

"You give her the impression of a playboy who only cares about eating, drinking, and having fun. It's fine if she lets you get to know him, but if she really wants something serious, why would she turn down so many ambitious and promising young men and choose a domineering old man like you?"

"Who's an old man? You're the old man!" Huo Yi snapped. "We're the same age, okay? My birthday is even a day younger than yours."

"Yes, I am an old man, but my Alan doesn't mind. We've already registered our marriage. You may not admit you're an old man, but Xiao Tao hasn't registered her marriage with you yet. It's not certain whether she'll become a member of the Huo family in the future..."

"Nangong Jue, you..."

"Don't be angry. I knew you were facing a bottleneck, so this is giving you an opportunity, isn't it?" Nangong Jue quickly tried to soothe the man. "The acquisition of the Nangong Group has been handed over to you. Fang Xiaotao is on vacation, so you can take her with you and let her see your efforts, your methods, and your charm... I'm telling you, maybe you can get married when you get back."

"Really?" Huo Yi narrowed his eyes, feeling like he was being tricked.

"Dare to give it a try?"

"this……"

“If you don’t dare, then forget it.” Nangong Jue sighed. “I’ll call Fang Ming over right away. Anyway, Fang Ming has a girlfriend now, Zhou Yulan, Alan’s cousin. She’s a year younger than Xiao Tao. I heard she’s already met his parents, and they’re going to get engaged this year, and then have the wedding as soon as Zhou Yulan graduates… It’s a good opportunity to have Fang Ming bring Zhou Yulan along, so she can show off her way around Beijing…”

Huo Yi stared wide-eyed. How could they all be so fast?

"Alright, are you in or not? If not..."

"Damn it!" Huo Yi rolled his eyes at Nangong Jue.

Nangong Jue patted Huo Yi on the shoulder: "Keep it up, I believe in you." Then he left the capital with his wife.

When Huo Yi realized he had been tricked, he couldn't find Nangong Jue anymore. He was on vacation in Hainan with his wife. Furious, Huo Yi could only... go and torment Nangong Rongyao.
