Chapter 154 Xiaobai who eats the emperor's food
Huo Qinghuang did not accept Long Weihua's invitation.
"Director Long, there is no need to say more. I am used to being free and easy, and I have a bad temper. If one day I beat your men to the point of losing limbs, wouldn't that mean Director Long would lose a lot of manpower for nothing?"
She refused without hesitation.
As she spoke, she glanced at the guy with the flat head meaningfully.
This boy is so noisy that it makes her ears hurt.
The guy with the flat head's expression froze for a moment, and he took two steps back without leaving a trace.
Oh my god, this Miss Huo’s aura is so terrifying, she is on par with their Long Bureau.
Even scarier in a way.
What Huo Qinghuang didn't know was that this short-haired guy had an almost instinctive sense of crisis. When he first saw her, he sensed a dangerous aura from her. He didn't dare to look her in the eye from beginning to end, and at this moment, a sense of awe rose in the depths of his heart.
“…”
Long Weihua couldn't help feeling disappointed, but he also knew that such a powerful master had a strong will and could not be persuaded with just a few words, so he had to give up for the time being.
However, such a wild master with a clean background is hard to come by, and it is impossible for him to give up completely.
Not to mention that Huo Yuheng is here. He will have to deal with Miss Huo many times in the future. He believes that as long as he is sincere, he will be able to impress her one day!
Long Weihua suppressed his disappointment, picked up a glass of red wine from the table, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if Miss Huo doesn't want to. The door of the 749th Bureau is always open to Miss Huo. Whenever you want to come, just let Deputy Minister Huo tell me. Come on, let's drink this glass first. I wish us a happy cooperation!"
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Huo Qinghuang did not refuse. He raised his glass to gesture and drank it all in one gulp.
This was her first time to drink red wine. It tasted good, soft and sweet in the throat, with a mellow aroma. Although it was completely incomparable to spirit wine, it did have a different flavor.
"Come to think of it, there is something I need to trouble you with, Director Long."
Huo Qinghuang put down the cup and said lightly.
"Miss Huo, feel free to tell me what you want to say."
Long Weihua said quickly.
Huo Yuheng also looked at her in surprise.
How come he didn't know that this girl still had something to ask of someone? Could it be that the Huo family couldn't solve it?
Huo Qinghuang smiled and said, "Director Long is well-informed. He must know that I have a white-crowned pheasant next to me. This monster has become intelligent and can no longer be classified as a national protected animal. So, I would like to ask Director Long to help it get an ID card or something so that it can move freely."
"Hahaha, that's easy!"
When Long Weihua heard this, he immediately perked up and said with a smile, "It's just an ID card. Our 749th Bureau has a department that specializes in serving the demon race. Deputy Minister Huo can take care of this. In fact, if Miss Huo is at ease, she can let her pet enter the 749th Bureau and have a position. In this way, no matter where she goes in the future, she won't have to be restricted by others."
He came up with this idea on a whim.
He knew that the white-crowned pheasant beside Huo Qinghuang was just a little demon that had just awakened to intelligence, so he didn't take it seriously at first.
But now, he doesn't think so.
If that little demon was not important, why would Huo Qinghuang come to him in person to beg for help?
Therefore, no matter whether that little demon has the ability or not, let’s pull him into the 749 game first!
In this way, wouldn't the relationship with Huo Qinghuang be closer?
Long Weihua’s wishful thinking went smoothly.
Huo Qinghuang glanced at him sideways and knew exactly what he was thinking, but she didn't say it out loud.
Everything else is easy to deal with, except Xiaobai's identity as a national protected animal, which is a bit troublesome. She cannot appear casually. If she can enter Bureau 749, she will have a legitimate identity and an extra backer, so she can go anywhere with her.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Director Long. But let me make this clear first. My pet has just started to develop intelligence and is not strong enough. I'm afraid I can only hold a sinecure in the 749th Bureau. Director Long, you won't mind, right?"
Huo Qinghuang said with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"That's natural."
Long Weihua quickly patted his chest and made a promise.
Huo Qinghuang smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Director Long."
"You're welcome."
Long Weihua smiled like a flower, "Three days later, Miss Huo can bring her pet to Bureau 749."
Huo Qinghuang nodded, and then said: "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"Ms. Huo, take care."
Long Weihua smiled and walked her out the door.
Huo Yuheng also wanted to leave, but was kept by Long Weihua.
"Deputy Minister Huo can't leave. There are still things to do in the bureau. As the head of a department, how can you be lazy?"
"Also, we just spent 100 million to buy the amulet. The bureau is short of funds. Deputy Minister Huo should use your strengths to increase revenue and reduce expenditure for us and raise more funds."
Long Weihua smiled kindly and patted his shoulder heavily.
“…”
Huo Yuheng grinned, completely speechless.
So this old guy is waiting for him here, right?
Is he going to make up for the money his daughter earned from Bureau 749?
It’s a pity that this old guy could think of this.
Besides, isn’t he just a decoration in Bureau 749?
Why do anything?
But now that we have entered a den of thieves, we can’t stop even if we want to.
…
After Huo Qinghuang left the hotel, she asked Da Liu to drive directly back to the Huo family's old house.
She didn't have any of the icy jadeite needed to make the amulet, so she went back to ask Huo Lingjun to see if the Huo family was involved in the jade industry.
The lights in the Huo family's old house were on. From Mrs. Huo to Huo Baoer, everyone except Huo Lingze and Huo Lingyu who were not at home gathered in the living room, waiting for the father and daughter to return.
As soon as Huo Qinghuang entered the room, several pairs of eyes looked at her.
"Aunt is back!"
Huo Yuchen and Huo Baoer rushed over and each held one of her legs.
Mrs. Huo stood up quickly, her eyes full of concern: "Qing Huang, why did you and your father take so long? Where is your father? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Huo Qinghuang glared at the two little guys, and waited for them to let go of her hands awkwardly before replying, "We just talked about something in the hotel, and he won't be back until later."
"It's so late, is there anything that can't be done tomorrow?"
Mrs. Huo grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Huo Qinghuang smiled, looked at Huo Lingjun, and said, "Does the Huo family have any involvement in the jade industry? I need high-quality icy jadeite to make amulets. Well, everyone here today is quite complete. This is for you. Wear it and don't take it off."
She turned her wrist, and three amulets fell into her palm, which she handed to the three brothers Huo Lingjun.
"What's this?"
Huo Lingchuan looked at the amulet in his hand and asked curiously.
"I know, I know!"
Huo Yuchen rushed to him and explained like a little adult: "This is an amulet made by my aunt. It can protect us. I have one too. Look!"
As he spoke, he pulled the rope around his neck to show off to Huo Lingchuan.
