It is better to let the project run aground than to let others bully you.

Besides, given Liu Jin's current situation, it is impossible for him to ask Liu Huanyi to come back to work.

"But we are almost halfway through this project. If we give up now, won't all our previous hard work go to waste?" Huo Shu felt sorry for the early investment. How many projects had been abandoned at that time just to support this VR real-life game.

"Who said I was going to give up?"

Huo Yuli looked out the window with a cold face, "I just want to pause, the project should continue to be maintained."

"How much money will that cost!" Huo Shu felt painful just thinking about it. The shelving of the project was equivalent to wasting money to support those employees. "We run a company, not a welfare home. Why don't we transfer them to work on other projects first?"

"The personnel within the IT department will not change, and their investment amount will not change. Other projects will be done first."

He would have to wait for Liu Huanyi to come back and discuss this project with her.

"have to."

Huo Shu felt that he could not do without Liu Huanyi at all. No matter what happened, he always wanted to ask for her opinion, and they turned the family business into a husband-and-wife team.

Speaking of husband and wife, Huo Shu touched his nose and became serious.

"There is something I want to tell you. The daughter of the Gu family has been found."

Huo Yuli's eyes suddenly changed and he stared at him.

"Is the news reliable?"

"Of course. The old man told me personally that he asked you to go back today probably because of this matter."

Huo Yuli remained silent, his expression gloomy and unclear.

Huo Shu looked nervous, "You are not going to run away, are you? Don't leave now, if I don't take you back, the old man will kill me. I'm telling you now just to prepare you mentally. Don't talk back to what the old man says to you later. Just agree to it first. If you want to cancel the engagement later, it's easy. You can talk to the little granddaughter of the Gu family yourself."

Fearing that Huo Yuli would turn around and leave, Huo Shu gave him a lot of advice, but Huo Yuli didn't listen to a word he said and didn't express his opinion.

Huo Shu was so anxious that he kept scratching his head and almost cried.

"Ancestor, you are my uncle, okay? You must not leave now, or your grandfather will tear me to pieces."

Seeing that Huo Shu was about to cry, Huo Yuli slowly said that he would not leave now.

Huo Shu thanked God, "As long as you don't leave now, it's fine, but you can't go back and quarrel with the old man. The heart stent that the old man just made can't withstand the stimulation."

"No, he is my grandfather, this will never change, and I will not disobey him."

However, since his grandfather had made up his mind to marry him, he had to adjust his attitude, lest his grandfather get too excited and think that he was ready to marry the little granddaughter of the Gu family.

The car slowly drove into the Huo family mansion. Old Master Huo was in a very good mood today. He was standing in the yard basking in the sun. When he saw them come back, he smiled from ear to ear.

"Yu Li, you came back so enthusiastically today, did you know that grandpa has good news for you?"

Huo Shu tried desperately to wink at Huo Yuli, asking him to stop being angry and excited, and to talk to the old man properly.

"Grandpa, I already know what you are going to say."

Mr. Huo was very dissatisfied. He wanted to tell Huo Yuli as a surprise! But it was good that Huo Yuli knew it, so he didn't have to tell it again.

"Since you know everything, then you should pack up and prepare for your wedding with the little granddaughter of the Gu family."

"I won't marry her."

Huo Yuli's decisive words almost scared Huo Shu half to death, and he kept winking at Huo Yuli.

Why are you so direct again? We agreed to be tactful.

The old man's expression really changed. "Say it again? The marriage between the two families was decided long ago, and you can't mess around like this. Either you are ready to propose to the little granddaughter of the Gu family, or you are ready to attend the wedding directly."

"Grandpa, you know my temper. No one can force me to do something I don't want to do."

"You also know my temper. Don't think I don't know what you did in the company, and the woman you tried so hard to protect." Mr. Huo slapped the table, "Can you protect her forever?"

There was a strong threat in Mr. Huo's words, and Huo Yuli's expression changed immediately.

"Grandpa, if you dare to touch her, don't blame me."

"You dare to threaten me!" Mr. Huo threw his crutches and looked at Huo Shu, "Keep an eye on him and don't let him make trouble. If he doesn't show up at the wedding, I will make trouble for you."

Huo Shu felt unhappy and thought, "What does your business with grandson and grandson have to do with me?"

But one was his father and the other was his nephew, so he couldn't say anything and could only agree.

"Got it, Dad."

Old Master Huo was so angry that he turned around and refused to let Huo Yuli into the house. Huo Yuli was also very stubborn and really moved back to his own apartment.

Huo Shu was the most innocent, being caught between the grandfather and grandson, and could only act as a sandwich to appease both sides.

The old man was in a good mood because of the Gu family and was easy to please, but Huo Yuli was different.

He had a gloomy face and was feared by everyone in the company. News of Huo Yuli's marriage gradually spread in the company.

Xing Zhaoben didn't know this yet, but one day in the tea room he heard a female colleague gossiping about Huo Yuli's engagement and he immediately became furious.

"Mr. Huo's marriage partner must be well-matched with the Huo family. Will they give us money when the time comes?!"

"You are crazy about money, right? Not letting you give gifts is good enough, but I'm also giving you money."

"Whose family is the bride from? My God, to be able to marry into the Huo family, her family must be very rich."

"You are so superficial. You only think about money. Doesn't anyone think of Liu Huanyi? I thought Mr. Huo would marry her even if he violated his family's engagement."

"It's not that simple. Families like them will definitely marry each other. Even if they like each other, how can it compare to the family business?"

"Liu Huanyi is pretty and capable, but her family background is not good, which is a pity."

Hearing this, Xing Zhao couldn't help but rush out and said to those people, "What's wrong with our family background? It's much better than you guys who are gossiping!"

The female colleagues all shrank their necks in fear. "We didn't say anything else. We were telling the truth. Isn't her family background just average? At least it's not as good as the Huo family."

Xing Zhao was furious. "What's so great about the Huo family? Our eldest daughter doesn't want to get married. If she wants to get married, it will only take a few minutes!"

"Don't you think it's funny that you said that?" The female colleagues just thought Xing Zhao was being stubborn. "You should quickly tell Liu Huanyi and ask her to find someone else. He can forget about CEO Huo."

When Mr. Huo gets married, will the new Mrs. Huo be able to tolerate her?

Xing Zhao couldn't win the argument with them and returned to the office angrily.

Hu Die and Wei Zhou looked at him strangely, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

"I heard them talking about the boss behind his back!"
