Su Miaomiao had been slaughtering pigs for 18 years when she was suddenly told she was actually the daughter of a high-ranking official — the news shoc...

Chapter 545 The Richest Man (1/2)

Since Su Miaomiao was "detained" by the organization for five days, she has been staying at home with her child for the next few days, seemingly trying to make up for the days she lost.

Meanwhile, Huo Wenbo also received good news.

Zeng Liren was promoted, and Huo Wenbo became the new head of their unit.

When Huo Wenbo announced the news at the dinner table, everyone was overjoyed and congratulated him.

Su Miaomiao was naturally happy as well.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner together.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Huo Wenbo sought out Su Miaomiao alone.

At that time, Su Miaomiao had just finished feeding the child milk.

"Are they all asleep?" Huo Wenbo asked in a low voice.

“Yes, I always go to sleep after I’m full,” Su Miaomiao said with a smile.

Huo Wenbo looked at the two little ones with a gentle expression in his eyes.

A moment later, his gaze fell on Su Miaomiao.

"Little sister, a large part of the reason why I was entrusted with this important task by the organization is because of you. I know that saying thank you is too easy, but I don't know how to repay you."

Upon hearing this, Su Miaomiao was taken aback at first, then chuckled softly.

"Brother, I didn't do anything. Your promotion is all due to your own abilities. What does it have to do with me?"

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to hide anything from me."

Su Miaomiao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Huo Wenbo spoke up again.

"Don't worry, the investigation into the mass food poisoning incident at work has been completed. It turns out that the canteen purchased a batch of sprouted potatoes, which caused the food poisoning."

"But I know this is just fake news to cover up the truth. Of course, I won't ask what exactly happened, but this time you not only saved my life, but also enabled me to get promoted. That's an indisputable fact."

Huo Wenbo looked very serious. Su Miaomiao looked at him for a moment and then stopped trying to argue.

She knew her older brother was always very smart, and she had mentioned to him from the beginning that the poisoning might have been intentional.

But now the official investigation results are that it was just food poisoning. Her older brother certainly won't believe that the organization couldn't even find out about something like this.

This naturally leads one to the conclusion that there are things behind the scenes that cannot be announced to the public.

"Brother, there are indeed some suspicious circumstances surrounding the mass poisoning in your unit, but your promotion probably doesn't have much to do with me."

“This organization isn’t like our family. Why would they let you cheat on them for something so small? You must really have real talent. If you were just a pretty face, no matter how much I helped the organization, this position would never have gone to you.” Su Miaomiao explained again, afraid that Huo Wenbo would overthink things.

"Little sister, you've misunderstood me. I'm telling you this not because I think I'm not up to the job, but because I know you've put in a lot of effort." Huo Wenbo's expression softened.

Now it was Su Miaomiao's turn to be a little surprised.

“Ever since the incident at home, I’ve realized that one person’s strength is not enough. Only by combining the strength of the entire family can we build an indestructible protective shield.”

“Family is the driving force for us to move forward, and it can also forge armor for us. I have benefited from your success, and I do not deny that, but I will definitely make the most of this success and give back to my family.” Huo Wenbo’s eyes were filled with an undeniable determination.

Su Miaomiao finally understood what Huo Wenbo meant, and the expression in her eyes softened little by little, mixed with unspeakable emotion.

“Since you’ve said so, we don’t need to say anything more. Let’s just work together as a family,” Su Miaomiao said firmly.
